Everyone around Brother Long had a bitter look on their face, how were they supposed to answer?

Answering that they knew? But they really didn't know.

Yet answering that they didn't know would get them locked up, so what could they do?

In a crisis, humans sometimes have sudden bursts of potential. At this moment, Brother Long's brain triggered a sudden inspiration and came up with a brilliant idea:

"Boss, are you looking for her?"

"Isn't that obvious? If I wasn't looking for her, would I be looking for you?"

At this time, Sun Zhidong had Li Xiang backing him up, and he was incredibly arrogant. When Brother Long said something redundant, he even dared to smack him on the head.

Brother Long resisted the urge to get up and smack him back, sneaked a glance at Li Xiang, and seeing him staring intently, did not dare to make any move. He could only nod in agreement: "I deserve it, I deserve it, I didn't make myself clear. There's a saying that many hands make light work, and another saying that strength comes in numbers..."

Slap~

"Why do you have so many sayings? Spit it out already!"

Brother Long, who got slapped again for nothing, was almost in tears. Since he became the boss, when had he ever endured such bullshit?

Getting a full dose all at once today.

"I can bring my guys to help you search, and I have more than just the few people here; I can bring in twenty or thirty more. They all know this area well, so finding someone should be easy."

Slap~

"Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Sun Zhidong was getting addicted to hitting. He had to admit, it felt great, especially because these people didn't dare fight back; it was too satisfying!

"I..." Brother Long was on the verge of tears, couldn't they just talk calmly?

Why did he get hit after every sentence?

"Xiang, what do you think?" Sun Zhidong couldn't decide and turned to Li Xiang.

"It's feasible."

Brother Long and his gang were local thugs. If they helped in the search, it would be more convenient than just the two of them looking.

This way, the police station could use public security videos openly, while Brother Long and his crew could do a more thorough search, greatly improving their chances of finding someone.

"What if we let them go today, and tomorrow they gather twenty or thirty guys to cause trouble for us?"

Sun Zhidong was a bit worried. Li Xiang was impressive, but everyone had their limits. If Brother Long and his gang brought twenty or thirty guys tomorrow, could Li Xiang handle it?

"No way, no way, we're convinced today. Brother Li is like Bruce Lee reincarnated; even two or three hundred couldn't beat him."

Brother Long had just learned Li Xiang's name from Sun Zhidong. Hearing Sun Zhidong's concern, he immediately reassured him.

"If that's true, I'd actually look forward to it!"

Li Xiang squeezed his fist; not only was Sun Zhidong addicted to hitting, but Li Xiang was too.

The few guys earlier couldn't even let him stretch his muscles; they all went down in no time, which was no fun.

If they could bring another twenty or thirty guys, a fight might actually let him stretch a bit?

Seeing Li Xiang's unsatisfied expression, Brother Long shivered, still feeling a sharp pain in his ribs, probably broken because he seemed to hear them crack earlier.

That fear of being dominated by Li Xiang was something he didn't want to experience again.

"Alright then, you're in luck today; we won't be taking you to the station, but my car window you smashed, it's about a thousand bucks at the repair shop, you'll need to cover that."

Sun Zhidong looked at his beloved car with some heartache. He cherished it too much to scratch it, but some punks smashed it. Thinking of it, he couldn't help smacking Brother Long on the head one more time.

"It's only right, it's only right, I'll transfer the money."

As long as he didn't have to go to jail, he could manage a thousand bucks. Brother Long said nothing and promptly transferred the money.

"Can we go now?"

After transferring the money, Brother Long asked cautiously. He didn't want to stay in that crappy place for another second.

"Hold up, if you leave today, how do I get you to help me find someone tomorrow? Leave your ID and phone number. If you cheat me, I'll pay you a personal visit."

Li Xiang wasn't easily fooled; if they were only bluffing to trick him, he wouldn't let them pass easily.

Li Xiang commanded and they didn't dare disobey. Those with IDs left their IDs and phone numbers, and they even made a group chat for easier contact.

Seeing this, Li Xiang finally let them go.

With Li Xiang's permission, they endured their pain, hobbled back to the van, and the only person who hadn't been hit by Li Xiang went to the driver's seat and drove off.

Once they left, Sun Zhidong's excitement slowly subsided.

"Xiang, I've known you for more than two years; you've been hiding this deep. Would you still keep a low profile if there wasn't danger today?"

"Mainly, there's been no chance to show it. Make sure to keep it quiet, we need to stay low-key."

"If you want me to keep quiet, teach me a move or two."

"That's doable."

The two were shivering all the way in the breezy BMW, but it didn't dampen Sun Zhidong's burning enthusiasm.

Meanwhile, Li Xiang took out his phone and saw the game's notification message:

[Ding, random mission triggered!]

[Mission name: Just Defense]

[Mission description: As you're about to leave, a van suddenly blocks your way, a group of weapon-wielding people exit making you feel their intentions are hostile.]

[Mission requirement: Defensive counterattack]

[Mission reward: Experience +200, Diamonds +600]

[Ding, mission completed, reward Experience +200, Diamonds +600]

600 more diamonds in hand, feeling fantastic. Just need 200 more to unlock the third level.

The next day,

Sun Zhidong took the car to the repair shop, where a front window cost 850 yuan. No hesitation, repaired.

Then, the two took a car back to the police station.

The monitoring video from yesterday wasn't finished, so they continued today.

At the same time, Li Xiang mentioned Brother Long and his crew in their group, urging them to start taking action because the consequences would be severe if they didn't find the person.

Though they wouldn't actually do anything, scaring them a bit might yield results.

Throughout the morning, Li Xiang and the others were stationed at the police station, with a very responsible police officer dedicated to helping them check the surveillance tapes.

"The girl walked into this alley and never came out again. You've also seen the tapes from the following days, so why don't you go check there?"

The police did their best; from the surveillance footage, they could see Wang Liping walked in with a suitcase, but since there was no monitoring inside, they couldn't see her after.

For the next few days, they fast-forwarded through the footage but didn't see her come out again.
