"Alright, go ahead. If you can't handle it, just say the word, and your uncle will sort it out for you."
Hearing Shen Lang's words, Song Shadao replied without looking up, a smile on his face.
"Don't worry, Uncle. It's just a clown jumping around. I don't need you to personally intervene."
Shen Lang picked up the release order and strode out of Song Shadao's office. Fifteen minutes later, he appeared at the place where Hyena was held.
"Hyena, congratulations! Your people have come to rescue you. You now have a chance to leave this cage."
Shen Lang looked at the defiant Hyena and said with a smile, "It seems you are indeed important. Even after all this time, the Shadao Association hasn't forgotten you. I should have used you to dig a few traps and lure out some Shadao Association members."
"Shen Lang, we meet again. You don't seem very happy this time. Let me guess, did my people capture your family or friends, forcing you to see me and release me?"
Hyena had been imprisoned for a long time, and his body had become thin. However, interestingly, his once bald head had grown black hair. Yet, the only thing that remained unchanged was his sinister demeanor.
"Hyena, you truly live up to your name. A beast that feeds on carrion. Nothing escapes your dog nose."
Shen Lang looked at the smug Hyena and chuckled, "You're right. Your people did capture my woman and used her to threaten me. That's why I had to let you go in exchange for my woman."
"Someone like you actually cares about a woman's life or death?"
Hyena heard this and smiled, "If I'm not mistaken, your woman is pregnant with your child, which is why you're hesitant and have to compromise."
"Hyena, you are a beast, and your Shadao Association are all beasts. But that doesn't mean everyone in this world is a beast. Don't try to guess my intentions; you can't fathom them. You are not qualified to judge me."
Shen Lang looked at Hyena with disgust and said coldly, "I guarantee that as soon as my woman is safely returned, I will kill a thousand members of the Shadao Association within a month, reducing the number of companions for you scumbags who have committed heinous crimes."
"Shen Lang, I believe you, but I don't believe you can do it. The strength of the Shadao Association is beyond your imagination. Do you think you can truly underestimate the Shadao Association just because you killed Alice and the others? Let me tell you, what you've seen of the Shadao Association is just the tip of the iceberg. You have no idea what the true Shadao Association is."
"Is that so?" Shen Lang sneered dismissively and said, "One day, I will make the Shadao Association, this sinful organization, crumble under my hand. Then you will know that your current pride is nothing."
"Team Leader Shen, why waste words with him? Just crush his hands and feet. Even if he can return alive, he'll be crippled."
As soon as Shen Lang finished speaking, Long Zi chuckled, walked up to Shen Lang, and said, "I've practiced Shaolin's Great Vajra Claw, specifically for crushing the bones of scum like him. I'll cripple him right now."
"Haha, no need. If you break his hands and feet, you'll have to carry him. Why make things difficult for yourself?"
Shen Lang looked at Long Zi and asked with a smile, "Has Qin Bianque been released?"
"Team Leader Shen, as you instructed, Qin Bianque has been released and is already in the vehicle."
Long Zi said, "Qin Bianque and Hyena are both major offenders. As you ordered, twenty special forces members have been assigned to them to ensure everything is foolproof."
"Good—"
Shen Lang nodded upon hearing this and said, "Long Zi, thank you for your hard work."
"Team Leader, you're too kind. We're all one big family."
Long Zi said to Shen Lang, then opened the door of the detention area and said to Hyena, "Come out."
Although Hyena was wearing handcuffs and shackles, he looked at Long Zi with disdain and contempt, even starting to sing opera: "Don't pity my shackles and hand restraints, they lock my hands and feet, but they can't lock my ambition soaring to the heavens..."
Hyena sang with great arrogance, completely disregarding Long Zi.
"Bang—"
As Hyena's song ended, it was met by a heavy punch from Long Zi.
Long Zi looked thin, but his explosive power was terrifying. Hyena was twice Long Zi's weight, yet he was sent flying five meters by Long Zi's punch to the chest, crashing heavily against the wall and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"If you keep being obnoxious, the next punch will blow your head off."
Facing Hyena's fury, Long Zi said calmly.
"You..."
Feeling the ruthlessness in Long Zi's tone, Hyena wanted to say something harsh, but in the end, he didn't.
Hyena was not stupid. He could see that Long Zi, like Shen Lang, was a ruthless person. Shen Lang dared to stab him without a second word, and Long Zi dared to punch his head off.
"Hyena, I already told you to behave. I didn't expect you to be so uncooperative. Now you've suffered. Serves you right."
Seeing Hyena in a sorry state, Shen Lang laughed loudly.
"Shen Lang, don't get smug. Our grudges will be settled sooner or later. You will regret your actions today."
Hyena wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said calmly.
"Is that so?"
Shen Lang responded with a smile, but this time he didn't argue further with Hyena.
Half an hour later, Shen Lang, along with Long Zi, Xiong Zi, and over twenty special forces members, escorted Hyena and Qin Bianque to the North Mountain Cemetery. On a plaza the size of a football field ahead, a helicopter was already waiting.
"Young Master, Dr. Qin, congratulations on your escape."
Seeing Hyena and Qin Bianque released from the prisoner transport vehicle, a man dressed in purple, wearing a blank mask that obscured his face, jumped out of the helicopter and greeted Hyena and Qin Bianque.
"Ziguang, I didn't expect you to come in person. It seems Father still values me."
Looking at the man in purple, Hyena said with excitement.
The man in purple was named Ziguang, and his status in the Shadao Association was very noble. Even Hyena, the Young Master, was wary of Ziguang.
Therefore, seeing that the other party had come to rescue him, Hyena was extremely excited.
"You are the Young Master of the Shadao Association, and the Holy Lord naturally values you. It is Ziguang's honor to serve you."
The man in purple wore a blank mask, and beneath his purple cloak was a mass of light. Others could not see what was inside. Hearing Hyena's words, Ziguang said with a smile.
"Alright, have you finished your nonsense?"
After Ziguang finished speaking, Shen Lang said impatiently, "Ziguang, I've released the person you wanted. Where is Ye Shishi?"
"Ye Shishi? I'll let you see her now."
Upon hearing this, Ziguang took out a tablet. It displayed a real-time surveillance feed. Ye Shishi was tied to a chair, her hands and feet bound.
However, at this moment, a masked man appeared behind Ye Shishi, slowly bringing a dagger towards her throat.
