wasn't significant, the police station would inevitably suffer silently. However, once it was blown out of proportion, things became much easier to handle."Leng Bingbing, if I don't beat you to a pulp...Chapter 1326: There's Something Wrong with This Hotel

The phrase "don't blame the crowd for individual actions" exists, and this concept is deeply ingrained in many people’s minds. Because of this, even those who are usually very timid can become more bold when they're among a group of people, as everyone believes that causing trouble together won’t lead to any consequences.

However, this time, they were clearly mistaken. Xia Tian isn't someone who listens to reason, and especially not when he's in an unhappy mood. Regarding the loud protests from over a hundred people, Xia Tian didn't say anything superfluous; instead, he used his most proficient methods for a direct resolution.

"Uh... Ah... It hurts so much... Who’s hitting me... Ah..." Instantly, various cries of pain, moans, and curses intertwined with one another.

Originally, there was an alert line set up outside the hotel. Most people were within this line, while a few individuals were outside it. At this moment, all that could be heard inside the alert line were sounds of pain; every man and woman who had been shouting lay on the ground. As for those outside the alert line, they were being sent flying into the air regardless of whether they had shouted or not. The ones who had actually shouted were simply kicked away by Xia Tian with a single foot, while those who hadn’t made any noise but were somewhat innocent received relatively better treatment from him; he merely picked them up and threw them inside. Moreover, when they landed on the ground, they managed to stand steadily without sustaining any injuries.

"From now on, anyone stepping out of this alert line without my permission will receive a beating!" Xia Tian's voice echoed in everyone’s ears once again.

This time, upon hearing Xia Tian’s words, both inside and outside the hotel was unusually quiet. There was no doubt that Xia Tian had just intimidated everyone into submission with his actions. At this moment, everyone realized that Xia Tian wasn't just talking empty talk.

It took a full minute before an unsatisfied voice sounded out: "Who are you How dare you beat up government staff I am... ah!"

Summer kicked the man again, silencing his words: "I don’t care who you are. Stop bothering me. Everyone stay still and quiet. Your noise is annoying."

Tian Bo Feng had appeared at the hotel entrance by then, staring blankly at the middle-aged man whom Summer had kicked to the ground—it was none other than Deputy Mayor of Yenan City. He came personally to oversee the bomb incident here, although his ‘command’ was merely a formality meant for show.

Ye Mumei silently approached Summer from behind. At this moment, Summer was actually outside the cordoned-off area because it was too crowded inside. That’s why Ye Mumei had come out.

A few policemen who initially wanted to intervene wisely did nothing after seeing Deputy Mayor beaten by Summer. No one would want to stick their necks out at a time like this.

When she saw Ye Mumei arrive beside Summer, Hu Feifei cautiously followed her over too.

"Team Leader Summer, why do we need to seal off this hotel" whispered Hu Feifei.

"There's something fishy about this hotel." Xia Tian said in a light tone, "Earlier when Shen Yun was screaming for help, no one came to his aid. When I beat up those idiots, again nobody intervened; later on, those people vanished without a trace. Such a big incident couldn’t have escaped the hotel’s notice. Afterward, the kidnapping and explosion seem to be somehow connected with this place. If we interrogate everyone in here thoroughly, there must be some clues that can help me identify and eliminate those idiots!"

"Team Leader Xia is right; there's definitely something wrong with this hotel. Shen Yun also mentioned that someone within the hotel was involved with them," Hu Feifei nodded her head before asking hesitantly again, "But Team Leader Xia, there are at least hundreds of people here. Interrogating everyone one by one would be overwhelming for you."

"Someone will come to assist," Xia Tian casually said.

"Do we need to detain all the police officers as well" Hu Feifei thought for a moment and asked.

"These policemen probably have their issues too. Of course, they must also be interrogated together." Xia Tian calmly replied, "In summary, everyone here except us three needs to undergo interrogation. I don’t believe there’s any chance of not uncovering those idiots!"

Hu Feifei didn't say anything; although Xia Tian's methods were extreme, she found herself deeply agreeing with his approach in her heart. She had narrowly escaped death twice that night and had lost trust in the local police force entirely. Furthermore, she was certain there were individuals within the police who collaborated with the gang behind Shen Yun’s kidnapping; it was just that she couldn't pinpoint exactly who.

The ground suddenly began to shake, making everyone think an earthquake had struck for a moment, but soon they realized this wasn’t an earthquake—it was the sound of synchronized footsteps approaching. The powerful and uniform footfalls were getting closer by the second, and before long, people outside the hotel saw over a hundred soldiers in camouflage uniforms running towards them, fully armed from head to toe. Though they hadn't arrived yet, these men had already exuded such an imposing presence that everyone felt increasingly uneasy.

"Captain Song Guangzhen of the Black Panther Special Forces Detachment Yue Nan Unit, reporting to superior officer!" The leading soldier quickly approached Xia Tian and saluted, then gasped out loud, "Miss"

Ignoring that Xia Tian was still there, Song Guangzhen suddenly knelt down on one knee before Ye Yumei: "Reporting to Miss!"

This bizarre scene not only left the bystanders stunned but also surprised Xia Tian. He really hadn't expected this captain of the Black Panther Special Forces unit to be someone from the Song family.

"Stand up, act as if I'm not here and continue with your work," Ye Yumei finally spoke, her tone still cold though she appeared somewhat taken aback.

"Yes, Miss." Song Guangzhen stood up but now seemed much more respectful.

"It's enough that you know I'm here; don't leak my presence to anyone else," Ye Yumei added.

"Yes, Miss." Song Guangzhen respectfully answered again.

Night Jade Mei didn't say anything more, but Hu Feifei looked dazed. At this moment, she finally realized that not only was Xia Tian significant, even the incredibly beautiful woman beside him carried a great deal of weight as well.

"Song Guangzhen, have your people secure this hotel. No one is to leave without my command. If anyone attempts to do so, shoot their legs. If they resist, shoot their heads." Xia Tian instructed calmly at this moment.

"Yes, Commander!" Song Guangzhen immediately accepted the order and left. The hotel was quickly surrounded by the special forces under Song Guangzhen's command. Meanwhile, weapons belonging to the police inside were confiscated outright, and in the face of the machine guns pointed at them, these policemen didn't dare resist either. All they could do was start calling for help or making complaints.

At the hotel entrance, Wang Xia, the only female detective from the Major Crimes Unit who had just gotten up off the floor, looked extremely displeased. At this moment, she began to regret things a little. She finally realized that Xia Tian really didn't need their help; he could find people on his own.

Seeing the special forces soldiers with weapons outside, everyone's hearts were filled with fear, and no one dared breathe loudly. Most of them still had no idea what was going on, much less understand how something as simple as an explosion in a hotel could turn into such a major incident

Just when everyone was feeling uneasy, dozens of cars stopped in a row opposite the hotel entrance. The doors opened, and from each car stepped out four or five men and women dressed formally. Under the leadership of one person, they all walked together towards the hotel.

The man walking at the front was around thirty years old with an energetic appearance. He saw Xia Tian immediately upon stepping out of his vehicle, then hurriedly approached him.

"Team Leader Xia, I'm Lv Jinsong from Team Long. Team Leader Mu sent me here."

The man quietly revealed his identity, and then asked, "Since Team Leader Mu has already briefed me on the task at hand, is there anything else you would like to add"

"Now that my wife has given instructions, just follow what she said." Xia Tian was naturally reassured by Mu Han's arrangements. At last, he added another question: "Has the artist arrived yet"

"He's here." Lv Jinsong gestured to a man holding a briefcase not far away and called out, "Come over here!"

"No need for him to draw it. Just give me some paper and pen." Ye Yumei suddenly spoke up at this moment.

Xia Tian was slightly taken aback: "Tall-Leg Sister, you can actually paint"

Song Yumei indeed could paint; she was quite skilled in portrait drawing. Within a few minutes, she sketched out Huang Jingyi's likeness on the canvas with remarkable accuracy, as if Huang Jingyi herself were standing right before them.

"Hmm, find this person for me as soon as possible. Remember, this individual is very dangerous; you won't be able to capture her, so don’t even try. Once you see her, notify me immediately." After handing over the portrait of Huang Jingyi to Lv Jinsong, Xia Tian instructed.rged her."Alright then. Fine, let's do it. But if I lose, don't cry," Zhao Yujie gave in and got out of the pool again, wrapping her body with a bathrobe as she headed for the door.This time, Xia Tian...
