"Your Family Head? Who is your Family Head?" Queen Qi became even more guarded. The strength that the other party had shown was very formidable, and their words hinted they even had a master. Could it be that the master is even stronger?

Huadu City becoming the hive for such people is extremely dangerous. As a police officer, Queen Qi was particularly sensitive towards such dangerous individuals.

"My family's master has met with Officer Qi several times."

The other party said indifferently.

In her bewilderment, Queen Qi suddenly remembered the mysterious masked man.

The man standing before her shared a very similar dress and appearance with the mysterious masked man. Could it be...

"Are you talking about the mysterious masked man?"

"Correct." The other person nodded and added, "My master also has another name. In the assassin world, people like to call him—King Yan."

"King Yan," Queen Qi muttered the name, trying to commit this domineering nickname to memory, as she found herself growing more curious about the mysterious masked man.

The assassin world? Just by hearing the name, one could tell it was extremely dangerous. Such individuals were like ticking time bombs in Huadu, and the ordinary police force was simply ill-equipped to deal with them.

"I don't care who you all are, but don't even think about doing evil in Huadu, or else I will not let you go, even in death." Queen Qi gritted her teeth.

"Truly a queen's style, hehe, goodbye, Officer Qi." Kui Wood Wolf spoke indifferently, ready to leave, since he had already accomplished his mission for the day and saw no need to stay any longer.

"Wait!"

Queen Qi suddenly called out to Kui Wood Wolf again.

"Oh? Is there anything else Officer Qi needs me to do for you? Don't worry, killing is my specialty. I have been focusing on being an assassin since I was thirteen." Kui Wood Wolf said with a laugh.

Queen Qi snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, if you dare kill in Huadu, I will never let you off."

"I only kill the worst scoundrels, Officer Qi. Is there anything else?" Kui Wood Wolf laughed.

"Who exactly is King Yan? What organization are you a part of? What do you want to do in Huadu? And that detestable King Yan, what kind of strength does he actually have?"

Queen Qi asked a string of questions. She was too curious. There was such a terrifying hidden bomb in Huadu; if it were to explode, the consequences would be unimaginable...

"Hehe, you have too many questions, Officer Qi. I can only answer one for you. My master's strength, is unfathomable, he is called the King of Assassins."

"The King of Assassins, I believe you can understand what that implies."

"Alright, Officer Qi, goodbye. I will take care of the corpse."

Queen Qi was stunned for a moment, slightly incredulous. Who would dare call themselves the King of Assassins? So brazen?

By the time she wanted to speak again, Kui Wood Wolf had vanished without a trace.

"Terrifying person. No, I have to find a way to investigate who this King of Assassins really is."

A strong sense of curiosity gleamed in Queen Qi's eyes. Why did the mysterious masked man send someone to protect her? What hidden agenda did he have?

"Sister Qi, are you alright?"

A large group of junior police officers finally arrived.

Queen Qi waved her hand: "It's alright now, everyone stand down. That person... well, they ran away."

She never expected that she would lie, but there was no way to explain, not to mention that Cai Huafei was an absolutely unforgivable villain who wouldn't induce any guilt for being killed.

Everyone just assumed Queen Qi was embarrassed for not catching the criminal, and did not dare to ask further, fearing to provoke the Queen's wrath, so they all dispersed.

"King Yan... King Yan... No, I must find out who you are, as well as your purpose for coming to Huadu."

Queen Qi murmured to herself in thought.

"Sister Qi, shall I take you home?" Cao approached with eager concern.

Queen Qi looked at Cao, who had just been transferred to the police department, rumored to come from a very good family with significant connections, and for some reason, she felt a pang in her heart. She thought of Lin Hai's indifferent treatment towards her, whereas Cao was genuinely concerned for her.

"Alright, my car is actually left at the precinct, I'm too lazy to go back and drive it." Queen Qi somewhat reluctantly nodded in agreement.

Cao was overjoyed, quickly saying: "Sister Qi, please wait, I will bring my car over right away. Put on my coat first, don't catch a cold."

After saying that, Cao took off his police coat and gently draped it over Queen Qi, then hurriedly jogged to fetch his car keys and drive the car over.

This scene made Queen Qi want to cry. Once upon a time, she thought that Lin Hai's little concerns were enough to satisfy her, but now she realized that being cared for felt like this. Cao's attentiveness and thorough care seemed to warm her heart more than Lin Hai ever did...

If only Lin Hai could care about her a little more, that would be so wonderful...

"I'm ready to give you all of me and my heart, but you are annoyed with me, why..."

Queen Qi's beautiful eyes became moist, and she wanted to cry, really wanted to cry.

The sound of a car's brakes echoed beside her.

Cao stepped down from the Land Rover, opened the passenger door himself, and with a courteous smile, said to Queen Qi: "Sister Qi, get in the car quickly, you'll freeze being so beautiful, come on."

After saying this, he personally helped Queen Qi into the car, his careful and detailed actions highlighting even more the contrast with Lin Hai's rough treatment.

Queen Qi bit her red lip, saying nothing, but her heart was comparing Cao with Lin Hai.

One was handsome, and one was sloppy; one was dressed neatly, the other wore a security uniform that seemed rough-and-ready; simultaneously, one worked energetically every day, cheerful and ambitious, while the other was lazily coasting through, sleazy to the extreme. Comparing the two...

"Sister Qi, sit tight, I'm not very good at driving." Cao said with a modest smile, as the car steadily set off.

After about ten minutes, Queen Qi's residential complex came into view, where the luxurious Land Rover gradually came to a stop.

Queen Qi stepped out of the car, smoothing her slightly ruffled skirt—an action that was quite seductive, revealing a glimpse of her thighs that, to the uninformed, might be mistaken as something having happened in the car.

"Cao, it's late, get some rest early. There's an operation tomorrow; I'll be going ahead. Drive safely, thank you, goodbye."

Queen Qi said it all in one breath, waving her hand at Cao.

"Sister Qi, good night, goodbye."

"Oh, right, drink more hot water."

Cao, with a clean smile, watched Queen Qi walk deep into the complex before slowly starting the car, a confident smirk on his face: "Hehe, courting a girl requires a slow and steady approach. As long as I keep going, keep caring, even a heart of stone can be melted."

The Land Rover disappeared into the night.

On the rooftop of Queen Qi's apartment complex, Lin Hai stood in the darkness, wearing a bronze mask and a black trench coat, with one military boot on the stair, looking down through the mask, silent. Today, he had come to find Queen Qi, wanting to give her evidence against Zhang Shenxu, but he did not expect to witness the scene that had just unfolded.

Queen Qi returned home, turned on the light, kicked off her shoes, and barefoot, ran quickly to her laptop to start searching for information about "King Yan."
