Xu Fan entered the room radiating an aura of murder, his eyes filled with towering rage as he looked at the man in black holding Tongtong hostage.

At that moment, Tongtong’s face was streaked with tears, her hair disheveled, her expression one of sheer panic. Seeing Xu Fan come in, she finally burst into loud sobs, “Wuu wuu wuu... Daddy, bad people want to catch Tongtong, hurry up and hit the bad people, save Tongtong...”

Xu Fan’s eyebrows were painfully knitted together, a tremendous sense of guilt flooding his heart. He had only stepped out for a moment and Tongtong had encountered such an incident. If it weren’t for Ben Ben’s protection, these beasts might have already taken Tongtong away.

Xu Fan coldly swept his gaze over the two corpses on the floor.

One had his throat torn out by Ben Ben, another was turned into charred ash by Ben Ben, both thoroughly deserved their fates, as long as the man in black in front of him was still unharmed.

Martial Artist looked at Xu Fan suddenly barging in, his heart dropping, but he still steeled himself and shook the handgun in his hand, pointing it at Tongtong as he said to Xu Fan with a threatening, yet apprehensive voice, “Don’t try to stop me, or I’ll make you watch your daughter get her head blown off!”

“Haha!” Xu Fan laughed in anger, his voice ice-cold, “Release my daughter now, and I’ll give you a swift end. But if you wish to resist stubbornly, I’ll make you wish you were dead!”

“Haha, you think you can scare me? If I release her, do I even have a life left? Cut the crap. If you let me go today, I’ll hand over your daughter. We are both Martial Artists, let’s not kill each other over this trifle, how about it?” Martial Artist, intimidated by Xu Fan’s murderous aura, quickly tried to smooth talk his way out.

It was unfortunate that Xu Fan had no intention of letting him go.

His daughter, Tongtong, was his reverse scale; harm her, and you’d face death.

In Xu Fan’s eyes, Martial Artist was already a dead man. What was the need to respond to the conditions of a dead man?

However, Xu Fan hadn’t made his move yet, he still wanted to know who was the puppet master behind all this. Three thugs wouldn’t have come to kidnap Tongtong for no reason; the only answer was that someone had hired them.

And there weren’t many people who bore ill will toward Xu Fan.

“I’ll count to three, and if you haven’t released my daughter by then, you’re finished,” Xu Fan said softly.

Having been an officer for several years, Su Jingxue had never encountered such arrogance, and for a moment, she was at a loss for words. She then said fiercely to Xu Fan, “You! You’re obstructing official duties, careful I don’t arrest you!”

“Do you have the confidence to save my daughter?” Xu Fan asked Su Jingxue, staring her down.

“You must trust the police force; we will ensure the safety of the hostage,” Su Jingxue replied formulaically.

“I’m asking you whether you have confidence, yes or no?” Xu Fan said, sounding impatient.

“I will do my utmost!” Su Jingxue took a deep breath and answered firmly.

“Then don’t meddle in this situation,” Xu Fan waved his hand dismissively, “Get out, I’ll handle him.”

“Officer, please don’t go. If you leave, the hostage and I will die together!” Martial Artist threatened Su Jingxue.

Su Jingxue was also confused. Both men in the room didn’t seem to be good sorts, and with two corpses lying inside, she couldn’t simply stand by and do nothing.

So Su Jingxue took two steps back, covering Xu Fan and Martial Artist within range of her gun and warned, “Everybody put down your weapons, hands on your head, and let yourself be checked!”

“What a hassle.” Xu Fan sighed. While he had many ways to rend Martial Artist limb from limb right there, it indeed wasn’t wise to exhibit such actions in front of a police officer.

He still needed to be a good father to Tongtong and couldn’t afford to go too far in front of her.

So Xu Fan once again resorted to his secret technique, his eyes emitting a blue light that shot directly at Martial Artist. The Eye of Soul Capture activated.

Struck by the Eye of Soul Capture, Martial Artist first caught a dazed look, then his eyes grew incredibly vacant, his body movements stiffening.

“Release the hostage!” Xu Fan said softly.

Now a puppet in effect, Martial Artist, upon hearing Xu Fan’s command, awkwardly loosened his grip, releasing Tongtong.

“Daddy... Tongtong is so scared...” Finally freed from Martial Artist’s clutches, Tongtong cried out and ran into Xu Fan’s embrace.
