Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy novel Chapter 219

Chapter 219: Chapter 219: Hereditary Without Deceit, Yet Not Nobility

"Tell me, what happened here?" The police team leader arrived and couldn’t help but be startled by the scene.

Dragon Country’s notorious assassin, Shasheng, lay dead. Nearby, a group of hoodlums were crawling on the ground, transformed into dogs, pigs, and cows. Some even believed they were snakes and were slithering back and forth.

Xiang Wan, an elite police team leader dispatched from Dragon Country, had seen her share of bizarre cases, but none were more surreal than what she witnessed tonight. The moment she saw the looks on the townspeople’s faces, she could tell they knew something. She approached them to ask what had happened, but not a single person would tell her. Instead, they all turned the questions back on the police.

"Do you have any idea what these people have done?"

"Do you know what we’ve been through these past few days?"

The more the townspeople spoke, the more filled with righteous indignation they became. If it weren’t for that person, the police might never have come. Would they have been trapped here for the rest of their lives?

After listening to them, Xiang Wan had a general understanding of the situation. She came from a family of law enforcement, after all. Nearly all her ancestors had been police officers. Her great-great-grandfather, the first generation, had been the chief of the patrol house. After him, her entire family had joined the police force. She was originally an elite officer in Longjing, but she was transferred here after reprimanding the son of a prominent family. She had thought her life here would be quiet and uneventful, only to stumble upon such an incredible incident.

Xiang Wan scanned the crowd, her voice robust and energetic—a stark contrast to the gentleness typically associated with women. "All personnel, on my command!" she commanded loudly.

"Team Leader, we await your orders," her subordinates said, stepping forward.

Xiang Wan nodded. "Take these scoundrels who’ve been turned into pigs and dogs to jail. Deal with Shasheng’s body. After that, we disband."

This statement left all her subordinates perplexed. There’s no need to ask further? They could all tell that none of the locals were saying what had actually happened here, only what they themselves had suffered. Their evasion was obvious; something was clearly amiss.

Xiang Wan glared at them coldly, and they all immediately fell silent. In the month she had been in Peng City, she had whipped the male officers into shape, getting them to follow her orders without question. She had already solved numerous cases.

Xiang Wan led her team away.

The townspeople breathed a collective sigh of relief.

At that moment, one of the junior officers, still puzzled by Xiang Wan’s actions, asked again.

Seeing that only her team remained, Xiang Wan said, "Can’t you see? The townspeople are all protecting that person, which means what he did was, at the very least, an act of chivalry."

She continued, "If we push any further, I guarantee some of them would rather die than talk. You can see it in their eyes."

The junior officers all nodded, feeling Xiang Wan had made a good point. But are we really letting the matter go? We all feel that isn’t in her character.

"I won’t give up," Xiang Wan suddenly declared, energizing her subordinates. They had joined the police force to chase their dreams but had spent the last few years in a daze. Though Xiang Wan was a woman, her arrival had given them new hope.

"Investigate any formidable individuals who have recently arrived in Peng City. Every one of them is a potential target."

"Yes, ma’am!" the officers responded in unison.

Xiang Wan already had a lead in mind: the Cui Family’s party tomorrow night. She believed there was a fifty-percent chance she would find her target there. Even if the person was a vigilante, they had broken the city’s laws, and she would have to arrest them. A spirited determination burned in her bright eyes; she had never encountered such a thrilling case. The suspect, it seemed, was one of those people from the Martial Arts World her family had told her about.
