Nighttime.
Zhao Desheng is still unconscious, with serious abdominal injuries. Fortunately, the doctor's medical skills at the Demon Hunting Mansion are excellent. After some treatment, they successfully snatched him back from the hands of the King of Hell.
At this moment, inside the government.
Lin Fan stands with fifteen subordinates, their backs straight. They have all encountered demons before and even have the courage to fight them with swords.
They believe this is a spiritual elevation.
"Boss, do we have another assignment?" Wang Baoliu shouted. He had gone back and told his father about the encounter with the demon during the day, and how they had a fierce battle, in which he played an important role.
The boss had applied for a commendation for him.
This made Mr. Wang smile brightly. Seeing his father's radiant smile, Wang Baoliu also felt very happy inside.
He secretly vowed.
To make his father proud of him.
"Yes, we have a task. Follow me." Lin Fan waved his hand, leading the way. He originally didn't want to go, but considering he had never experienced raiding and capturing people, now that the opportunity has come, how could he let it slip away? He had to see the world.
From a distance, Wang Zhou watched as Lin Fan led the group away, sighing with admiration at the energy and drive of youth.
He had already inquired thoroughly about the ten-mile area situation.
This kid had hidden some tricks up his sleeve, with impressive abilities.
But it's a good thing, as a constable without ability will never have such good luck.
Doctor Sun is a well-known doctor in Jiangdu City, honest and helpful, reputed to be decent. If it weren't for the suspicions, he would never believe such a person would collaborate with demons.
But based on Lin Fan's experience.
The less likely a person seems, the more possible they are, harmless appearances are just a facade to deceive others.
Once caught, a little pressure will surely make him confess.
It didn't take long.
Lin Fan led the group to Doctor Sun's residence.
The house isn't as grand as those big families, but it is a courtyard, enough to show that Doctor Sun lives quite comfortably in Jiangdu City.
"Boss, should we knock on the door?" Wang Baoliu asked.
"Why knock? We're not here for a friendly visit." Lin Fan said no more, stepping forward and kicking the front door open.
This action was domineeringly satisfying. If it were in his previous life, doing so would definitely get him beaten up.
A group of people rushed into the courtyard.
"Grab him for me." Lin Fan ordered, and his subordinates swarmed in.
Inside one of the rooms.
The sound of water dripping was heard.
Along with a faint floral fragrance.
Doctor Sun lay in the bathtub, humming a tune, with a small wooden duck floating on the water's surface.
Holding a small cup of wine, he took a delighted sip.
"Ah, life is really leisurely right now."
Just then, with a bang, the door was violently kicked open from the outside.
Startling Doctor Sun, he sprang up, "Who?"
A group of constables rushed in, seeing Doctor Sun, they shouted, "He's here."
Doctor Sun was stunned, noticing their gazes on him seemed off.
"Ah, who are you all?"
"Help!"
A noisy uproar ensued.
"Easy, easy... Ah."
The situation seemed somewhat intense, and soon, the bathtub was empty, with only the small wooden duck floating on the water.
Lin Fan stayed in the courtyard at the central position, his eyes scanning the surroundings, alert for any movement.
"Sir, Doctor Sun has been brought."
The crowd threw the naked Doctor Sun on the ground.
A cold wind blew by, waking Doctor Sun up, he covered his groin with both hands, looking up at Lin Fan with a tearful face, "Sir, what crime have I committed?"
"What do you think?" Lin Fan asked.
Doctor Sun, with a face full of fear, shook his head, "Sir, I really don't know. I'm just a simple doctor in Jiangdu City, living law-abidingly, never committing any illegal acts. If there's a crime, it must be someone framing me."
"Think about it again." Lin Fan calmly said, his hand touching the handle of his knife.
To Doctor Sun, this action seemed very frightening, as if failing to confess would result in a lethal strike.
"Sir, I truly don't know what's happening, I beg for your insight." Doctor Sun cried out, his expression very convincing. If it were a young and inexperienced constable, he would definitely be fooled.
For instance, Wang Baoliu somewhat believed that Doctor Sun truly knew nothing.
Look at that expression, it's too lifelike.
"I intended to have a proper conversation with you, but since you don't appreciate it, there's no choice but to take you back for further processing." Lin Fan regrettably said, then instructed, "Take him away."
"Sir, please wait." Doctor Sun shouted.
"Hm?" Lin Fan glanced at him, a smile on his lips, "Changed your mind?"
"No, can I at least get dressed before going?" Doctor Sun requested, feeling chilly and embarrassed by the situation, especially if the neighbors saw him like this—he'd lose face.
Lin Fan squinted his eyes, "Are you trying to take the opportunity to escape?"
Doctor Sun nervously waved his hands, "I wouldn't escape, why would I run away when I'm not guilty?" Then, remembering his groin, he quickly covered his important parts again.
"If you don't trust me, you can have someone accompany me."
Lin Fan laughed, looking at Doctor Sun as if saying, "Do you think I'm a fool?"
"My men are inexperienced. If they go with you, I'm afraid they won't return."
Doctor Sun, almost collapsing, said, "If you don't trust me, you can personally guard me."
"If I go, do you plan to kill me and then escape? Don't think I don't know what you're thinking," Lin Fan said, making it clear that he saw through Doctor Sun's intentions.
Doctor Sun opened his mouth, wanting to speak but unable to, with many words stuck inside due to Lin Fan's pressure.
He hung his head, sighed deeply.
"Can you at least cover my head?" Doctor Sun lowered his demand, accepting not wearing clothes as long as his face wasn't recognizable.
"Take him away," Lin Fan gestured, looking back at the houses as they left.
The hood slowly dropped, and as it covered Doctor Sun's eyes, his once innocent gaze grew cold and sharp.
In an instant.
Lin Fan stepped forward, removing Doctor Sun's hood, "What kind of look was that? You say you're innocent? I knew you had something to hide from the start."
Astonished and dumbfounded, Doctor Sun was completely bewildered.
My heavens.
Are you even human?
"Sir, my eyes were just itchy! I'm truly innocent!" Doctor Sun lamented.
"Do you think I'm blind? Your eyes were filled with murderous intent. Do you want to kill me? But it doesn't matter, once you're taken away, it won't be up to you to decide what happens."
"Don't wear the hood, take him away."
Lin Fan waved his hand, paying no mind to how it looked, parading a naked Doctor Sun.
What if children saw?
Oh, what then.
