They didn’t know the origins of this man. However, this man not only fought the bar’s security guards, but he also fought their team.

As a result, they did not know whether this man was an enemy or a friend.

“Ignore him for now. Let’s catch that man first,” Superintendent Ruan ordered.

Upon receiving these instructions, the agents hurriedly acted and surrounded that man.

The scene became more and more chaotic as the screams continued. A lot of bystanders who did not know what was happening began to panic.

Jian Yiling hid behind the sofa. She did not move and did not dare to make a sound.

Suddenly, a pair of large hands reached out from the side and grabbed her arm.

When Jian Yiling felt this, her body began to tremble in fear.

She bit down on her lips and tried to not make a sound.

“It’s me,” a familiar voice said.

In an instant, Jian Yiling’s tense nerves disappeared.

She instinctively went up to hug the person.

Her cheek was pressed against his chest. For some reason, she felt at peace here.

Meanwhile, the entire bar was in chaos. The banging was incessant.

However, as Jian Yiling hugged Zhai Yunsheng, it was as though she was only listening to his heart beat.

The agents in the Special Crime Investigation Division and that man’s subordinates were caught in a fight.

“Superintendent, the man who could move freely in the white smoke disappeared.”

“Forget about him. Where’s Yiling? Is she safe?” Superintendent Ruan asked anxiously.

“We are unable to confirm that for now. However, we’ve taken care of most of the enemies.”

“Focus on confirming Yiling’s safety first. Then, capture that man,” Superintendent Ruan ordered. He could no longer wait. He would go inside the bar to find Yiling himself.

Ten minutes was a long wait.

Finally, the white smoke was cleared.

The entire bar was a mess.

Jian Yiling tilted her head and looked at Zhai Yunsheng. She did not know why he appeared beside her.

“Why are you here?” Jian Yiling asked.

“You let me know your location, no?” Zhai Yunsheng asked. There was no expression on his face.

“Mhmm,” Jian Yiling responded. She did not intentionally shake off his bodyguards: “However, I was just going to a bar…”

Wasn’t it normal to go to bars? Why did his bodyguards report this then?

And he immediately rushed over.

Shouldn’t he be dealing with Harmony League matters right now?

“I’m just passing by,” Zhai Yunsheng replied.

Then, Zhai Yunsheng directed his attention to the side to look at a middle-aged man. He recognized this man.

“Why are you here?” Zhai Yunsheng asked.

When the man saw Zhai Yunsheng, he laughed: “A Sheng, it’s been a long time.”

The smile was warm and kind. It was as though the man never admitted to killing Zhai Yunsheng’s father just now.

Zhai Yunsheng lowered his head to look at Jian Yiling who was still hugging him.

Jian Yiling lowered her head. She didn’t know whether or not to tell the matter to him.

It appeared as though she had a guilty conscience.

As she was not good at lying, as soon as Zhai Yunsheng saw her reaction, he knew that she was hiding something from him.

“Mr. Mu, why did you come to Beijing?” Zhai Yunsheng asked the middle-aged man.

The man’s surname was Mu. He was a friend of his mother when she was alive. This man also knew his father and uncle.

When Zhai Yunsheng was young, this man visited him quite often.

Even though he hadn’t seen this man for many years, he still looked roughly the same.

“I just arrived in Beijing a couple of days ago. I was planning on visiting Master Zhai and you,” the man replied with a smile.

Then, the man looked at Jian Yiling who was still hugging Zhai Yunsheng.. In his heart, he snickered and thought, no wonder he liked her.
