Ye Xiong covered his eyes, squatted on the ground, and began to groan in pain.

“Are you okay?”

Luo Weiwei saw the veins on his body bulge, indicating that he was enduring great pain.

Vermilion Bird watched from the side, his eyes flickering thoughtfully.

The agony lasted for several minutes before subsiding.

Ye Xiong stood up, left without saying a word, and entered the restroom.

In the mirror, he clearly saw a pair of inhuman eyes, the blood on the pupils had not yet faded, striking fear in anyone who saw them.

“Damn, what the hell is going on!” cursed Ye Xiong.

He suddenly remembered something Phoenix had said.

“You were buried underground for nearly half a month, but you miraculously survived. It’s impossible for a normal person to live that long under such circumstances… The chief suspects they may have implanted genes in you.”

After ten minutes, his pupils finally returned to normal, and his body felt nearly drained, as if it had gone through an intense battle.

Even with his abnormal physical condition, he could barely withstand the side effects of the mutation, if it were an ordinary person, they’d probably have been unable to endure it, their bones scattered.

After washing his face, Ye Xiong returned to the surveillance room.

“What happened to your body?” Vermilion Bird asked worriedly.

“I was just staring too long, you know, a man thing,” Ye Xiong said with a wry smile, then said to the operator, “Set the time to seven oh three minutes… Yes, right there, stop!”

Ye Xiong pointed at the screen at a man entering the hotel and said, “It was him.”

Luo Weiwei leaned in to look and, after several views, she couldn’t see anything out of the ordinary.

At that moment, Vermilion Bird, who had been silent, said, “This man has undergone special training. Look at the way he walks, his steady stride, the swing of his hands neither too wide nor too narrow. It’s a habit left by soldiers, hard to change.”

Luo Weiwei looked closely again and noticed that it really seemed to be the case, she was secretly shocked and couldn’t help but give Vermilion Bird another look.

She didn’t expect such a formidable figure to be by Ye Xiong’s side.

However, she was even more impressed with Ye Xiong. To be able to spot the way a person walks at that speed was simply unimaginable!

“You really spotted that he was the poisoner just from the way he walks?” Luo Weiwei asked in astonishment.

“I saw it from his face.”

“To see from someone’s face that he’s a bad guy, give me a break!” Luo Weiwei didn’t believe it at all since the word ‘bad’ wasn’t written on his forehead.

“I’ve seen him at Fuhua Hotel,” revealed Ye Xiong.

Luo Weiwei was immediately at a loss for words.

Right away, Luo Weiwei found the poisoner’s name from the files.

Yan Li: Twenty-eight years old, from the east district of Jiangnan City, a military veteran, currently works at Tianyu Bar, oversees the night scene, 178 cm tall, unmarried.

“Tianyu Bar is owned by the He Family; from this, it’s very likely that Ye Xiong’s guess is correct.” After reading the information, Weiwei immediately said to her subordinates, “I’m going to send someone to capture Yan Li right away.”

“I’ll go with you.”

Ye Xiong turned back to Vermilion Bird and said, “Xiao Song, you stay here and monitor the hotel. Let me know immediately if anything happens.”

Vermilion Bird nodded, and as soon as Ye Xiong and Luo Weiwei left, he made a phone call, his expression grave.

“Chief, there’s been an incident. It’s very possible that Reaper’s genes have awakened.”

“What happened?” An excited voice came from the other end of the phone.

Vermilion Bird explained what he had observed, and after hearing it, there was a long silence on the other end.

“I never expected the very thing I was most worried about to happen.”

“Chief, with the genes awakened, is the danger significant?” Vermilion Bird asked worriedly.

“Gene Warriors are a double-edged sword. If used properly, they can serve the people and the country with great effect; used improperly, they can be devastating. Vermilion Bird, the burden you carry is heavy. You must make sure he does not stray into evil.” the senior officer said seriously.

“I’m not afraid of him taking the wrong path, sir. After spending some time with Ye Xiong, although he’s a bit vulgar and carefree, he does have a moral compass deep down. He knows what should be done and what shouldn’t,” Vermilion Bird replied.

“As for his character, that’s beyond question since he was personally chosen by me. But what I really fear is the potential backlash from his genes…”

“Rest assured, sir, I will keep a close eye on him and prevent him from causing any trouble,” Vermilion Bird said with determination.

Luo Weiwei and Ye Xiong drove the police car directly to the Tianyu Bar.

This time was exactly when the bar had its shift change; Yan Li was bound to be there.

“You stay at the back door. If Yan Li tries to flee, subdue him,” Ye Xiong said before getting out of the car and heading towards the main entrance.

“You’re not a police officer, you don’t have the authority to make arrests. I’m going in with you,” Luo Weiwei said, following him out.

“Big chest, no brains—do we really have time to fuss over regulations right now?”

“Either way, I have to go in with you. When you go crazy, there’s no telling what you might do. If someone ends up getting killed, we won’t be able to sort it out,” Luo Weiwei retorted with a curl of her lip.

“Aren’t you afraid that I’ll be the one getting killed?” Ye Xiong quipped with a smile.

“Please, the person who can kill you hasn’t been born yet!” Luo Weiwei rolled her eyes.

The two entered the hotel at a time when the bar was just preparing to open. Employees were lazily tidying things up while security was checking the place. Seeing two strangers walk in, a short security guard quickly approached.

“Hold on, what are you two here for?”

“We are…”

Just as Luo Wei was about to pull out her police badge, Ye Xiong grabbed her hand and said with a smile, “We’re here to see Brother Li.”

“Looking for Brother Li, do you have business with him?”

“It’s like this, we borrowed some money from Brother Li and came to pay him back,” Ye Xiong said while taking hold of Luo Weiwei’s beautifully slender hand and adding with a smile, “Please, inform him for us.”

Luo Weiwei’s mouth twitched—this guy was always on the lookout for an opportunity to take advantage!

“Why didn’t you just call him?” the security guard asked, suspicious.

“If I could get through to him on the phone, I wouldn’t be asking you, would I?”

“The two of you, are you really a couple?” the security guard glanced at them dubiously.

Ye Xiong pulled Luo Weiwei close and hugged her in his arms.

Luo Weiwei was aghast, never expecting Ye Xiong to take advantage of the situation and continue to hit on her.

But with the situation being critical, she didn’t want to make a scene, so she resigned herself to accepting the loss and said through gritted teeth, “That’s right, he’s my husband.”

“Wife, thanks for being willing to help me pay off the debt. I’ll make sure to repay you properly tonight.” After saying this, Ye Xiong suddenly planted a light kiss on Luo Weiwei’s pink and supple cheek.

Heaven help me, my first kiss is gone!

Luo Weiwei’s face turned blazing red with anger. If looks could kill, Ye Xiong would have been riddled with holes.

The security guard, however, mistook Luo Weiwei’s red face for shyness.

The security guard took out his phone and dialed Yan Li’s number.

A loud ringtone echoed from the second floor.

Alarmed, the security guard prepared to resist, but Luo Weiwei quickly chopped him on the neck, knocking him out cold.

“We’ll settle this account later,” Luo Weiwei glared furiously at Ye Xiong, then dashed upstairs.

The sound of the phone upstairs indicated that Yan Li was definitely there.

Just as she reached the second floor and was about to pull out her gun, a hand suddenly grabbed her from behind, yanking her backwards.

At the same time, a bright cleaver swiped past her neck. Had she been even a split second slower, her neck would have been slashed. The near-miss sent a chill down her spine!

“Big boobs, no brains—Who storms in like that?” Ye Xiong cursed.
