But as Qin Fang slowed down and gradually approached the traffic officers, his gaze swept around briefly, and instantly, his eyes became piercingly sharp.

"Hyena..."

Qin Fang whispered these two words very quietly, indeed quite surprised, especially since Hyena seemed to have noticed their car and had walked out directly from a shadowy area as if he was solely targeting their vehicle.

"Be careful not to expose us..."

With this discovery, Qin Fang quietly reminded Su Xiaoxiao.

"Mhm!"

Upon hearing Qin Fang say the word Hyena, Su Xiaoxiao already understood the situation, and now that Hyena himself had appeared, even though he was dressed in a traffic assistant's uniform, both Su Xiaoxiao and Qin Fang recognized him.

"Sir, miss, please get out of the car. The police are investigating an important case and need to inspect every passing vehicle. Please cooperate with our work..."

Naturally, Hyena would not be the one rushing to the forefront; instead, a police officer dressed in uniform came over, first flashed his badge, and then very politely requested.

The attitude was extremely courteous, as if he was merely carrying out his duties, and there was none of the usual high-handedness sometimes seen in police officers. He was quite amicable.

Hyena, on the other hand, stood to the side with several people but kept himself well-covered, as if he was worried that Qin Fang and Su Xiaoxiao might suddenly start shooting. If that happened, at least he wouldn't get hurt.

Moreover, the man's eyes flickered, and he was repeatedly scanning over Su Xiaoxiao's body, seemingly not very concerned about Qin Fang...

Without a doubt, Hyena had come specifically for Su Xiaoxiao.

Qin Fang hadn't expected Hyena's nose to be so sharp; with Yangcheng under strict guard and police patrolling everywhere, the guy had still managed to track down Su Xiaoxiao. To be able to secure the position of Arms Dealer Si Nan's Military Advisor, he definitely wasn't someone who had risen through the ranks just by talking.

"Shit, do you know who I am? Even dare to stop my car... Believe it or not, one phone call from me could strip off that uniform you're wearing?"

Although surprised at how sensitive Hyena's nose was, having caught up so quickly, getting them out of the car wasn't going to be that easy. Without the car as a cover, if the crazy Hyena decided to shoot, Qin Fang could perhaps narrowly escape, but Su Xiaoxiao might not be so lucky...

So Qin Fang immediately acted like a domineering and arrogant young master, roaring at the police officer... even though he had seen right through the fake police badge earlier.

But to make the act more believable, Qin Fang decided to treat this fake officer as if he were a real one...

"Exactly, exactly... Do you know who my cousin is? Someone dares to stop my car in Yangcheng? Which precinct are you from?"

Su Xiaoxiao got the gist and also acted like a spoiled, entitled daughter of a high-ranking official, echoing Qin Fang's words and fiercely questioning the fake officer while pulling out her phone, mimicking the appearance of someone about to call some powerful figure...

This fake officer was also a bit thrown by the act of Qin Fang and his partner. Ordinarily, he would have personally snapped the neck of such a spoiled brat and then viciously played with this very beautiful but dim-witted woman, but knowing he was on a mission, he couldn't afford to be too impulsive. He had no choice but to look back at his boss, that is, Hyena.

"Could it be a mistake?"

Hyena, hiding behind his men, also wore a look of surprise and confusion. He had worked hard throughout the last night, even taking great risks, but in the end, the Millennium Ancient Corpse and the Jade Coffin had vanished without a trace.

Since last night, he had mobilized all the forces he could, turning over nearly the whole city of Yangcheng, yet the clues he had found were pitifully few.

Out of options, he had to investigate the line of the Assassins who came to kill Sinan. Using the process of elimination, he finally narrowed down the possible suspects—and Su Xiaoxiao was one of them.

Hyena had also investigated Su Xiaoxiao's identity to some extent. Although he felt that such an identity should not be that of an Assassin, Su Xiaoxiao's actions were quite similar to those of the Assassins from the Assassin's Alliance. Coupled with the timing of her leaving and returning to the hotel which coincided with Sinan's assassination and the theft of the Jade Coffin, it's no wonder he had such suspicions.

All day long, Hyena was busy investigating the situation of the Assassins, while also trying to track down vehicles that might be transporting the Jade Coffin out of Yangcheng. Furthermore, with the Yangcheng Police Department investigating the major canal murders, the police resources were focused there. This provided Hyena with the opportunity to brazenly set up roadblocks and inspect vehicles.

Of course, inspecting various large trucks was one aspect, while he also took the opportunity to delve into Su Xiaoxiao's background.

Perhaps it was because Qin Fang and his group were too convincing, or maybe Hyena didn't want to confront them at this time, but in the end, he just lightly shook his head.

"Sorry, sorry... You two can go!"

The fake police officer, following the Boss's orders, hurriedly apologized to Qin Fang and the other party, signaling them to proceed...

"Hmph... consider yourself smart, kid! Baby, let's go..."

"Yeah, let's go... I can't wait any longer, I'm all... hmph, what are you looking at!"

Qin Fang immediately snorted coldly, throwing a disdainful glance, his face wearing a sneer, while Su Xiaoxiao also displayed a sultry look, her eyes clearly burning with desire, resembling someone unsatisfied. Seeing the fake police officer staring dumbly at her, she immediately snorted angrily and cursed.

Then, the two of them together flipped the middle finger at the fake police officer. Soon after, they pressed the gas, and the Porsche dashed forward, quickly disappearing into the night.

The more they behaved like this, the more they looked like spoilt heirs, because Assassins always have a strong aura of murder about them, which cannot be completely hidden even with great effort. However, such a murderous aura on a spoiled heir seemed even more out of place...

Watching the departing Porsche, Hyena's eyes flickered with an unusual light, and in the end, he shook his head helplessly, unable to believe that such a woman could be the Assassin who had seen through numerous deceptions to kill Sinan!

Hyena had also learned from certain channels about Sinan's death, which he found surprisingly unexpected and utterly shocking.

He used to be Sinan's military advisor, his right-hand man. Sinan was very cautious about his own safety, and he himself was a very strong expert. Many people wanted to kill him, but he had still lived so many years...

But this time, not only was his personal guard, Raymond, shot dead at close range, but Sinan himself was killed in a hail of bullets!

Most bizarrely, when the Yangcheng Police Department thoroughly investigated the boat, they could not find any trace of the killer. The only thing they knew from some surviving gunmen was that Sinan was killed by one of his own, but that gunman had been shot dead before that.

The weapon used to kill Sinan and the other gunmen in the same room was an MP5, and no one knew where this MP5 came from. In the end, the police failed to find the murder weapon!

It was all the more chilling for Hyena to learn these details... There was no doubt about the strength of this Assassin.

What concerned Hyena the most was that the Assassin had not only shot Sinan dead but had also stolen the Millennium Ancient Corpse that he had worked so hard to acquire.

He naturally wanted to recover the Millennium Ancient Corpse—it was his greatest capital for making a fortune. However, he was worried that the Assassin might target him next. Given the terrifying skill of that Assassin, Hyena did not have the confidence that he could surely escape with his life...

Perhaps that was also the reason Hyena had chosen to hide behind others just now!

However, Hyena might not have expected that he indeed guessed some things right, but just like that, he brushed past the two Assassins who had killed Sinan and stolen the Millennium Ancient Corpse...(To be continued.
