The death of a few people didn't mean much to Zhu Zihao, but the sudden loss of ten in one night was enough to shock him. Although the members of the Dog Squad were not highly regarded in the Zhu family, they had been carefully trained and each one was an elite who could stand on their own.

  Ten of them died, including two leaders. What shocked Zhu Zihao even more was that these ten people died in a very strange way. There were no wounds on their bodies, nor any signs of struggle, as if they had suddenly fallen asleep.

  These people all have blood on their hands, Zhu Zihao can't let the police intervene. When they were alive, they were restricted by the power of the Zhu family, and the police turned a blind eye to them, but now that they're dying in batches, and in such a mysterious way, the police will definitely not dare to cover it up. Once it's made public, it's only a matter of time before their cases are exposed.

  So, Zhu Zihao could only have the body quietly taken to a hospital run by the Zhu family and have it secretly autopsied by someone relatively trustworthy.

  The next day at noon, the autopsy report came out, and the result shocked people again. The ten corpses had no internal injuries, nor were there any symptoms of poisoning or asphyxiation. How did these perfectly normal people die?

  Zhu Zihao furrowed his brow as he looked at the presentation report, remaining silent for a long time. He was powerful and influential, and could be said to be wise and strategic, but this time, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness. The members of the Dragon, Tiger, and Dog teams had all gathered in his villa in Hangzhou, everyone with their heads hung low in silence. Although it was natural for everyone's mood to be heavy after someone had died, what weighed more heavily on them was not knowing why someone had died.

  Half a day later, Zhu Zihao stood up, and everyone's eyes were focused on him. Although he was not very old, the ruthless and crazy aura he showed, as well as his unconventional style of doing things, had conquered his subordinates, who were all elites with their own unique skills, but Zhu Zihao was their backbone.

  Zhu Zihao raised an eyebrow and said in a loud voice:

  "The death of a first-class dog is a sad thing, but this isn't the time for sadness. We must find out what caused their deaths. In this world, there's no such thing as an uncaused event; it's just whether we can find the cause or not. Everyone, don't get flustered."

  Speak up, Zhu Zihao began to issue orders one by one in an orderly manner:

  "Long Er, take some men to investigate the place where Gou Yi and others were killed. Leave someone there to keep watch and see if anyone else dies in a similar way or if anything unusual appears nearby. Also, be careful, if you feel unwell, leave immediately and notify the others."

  Although he didn't know the cause of Dog One's death, he still believed they were murdered. It was just done in a way that no one knew about.

  "Long San, lead the hacker group to search for similar cases online, targeting all countries around the world. Don't miss any similar legends, even if some confidential materials are allowed to be hacked into, but pay attention to safety."

  "Dog Three, from now on you will lead the Dog Team in continuing to investigate Tang Xiaolan's whereabouts, and we will still use the plan that was originally devised by Dog One."

  "Long Qi, you come to give the deceased's family members a condolence fee. One hundred million for each of the two dogs, fifty million for other brothers, and you can handle the rest of the aftermath as you see fit!"

  ??????

  Everyone took orders and left, Zhu Zihao sat down and asked:

  "Hu Qi, I heard that yesterday a group of people from the Dog One faction went to kill Tang Xiaolan's parents but failed. Do you know the reason?"

  Hu Qi was not surprised at all by the news of the crown prince, he shook his head and said:

  "Subordinates don't know, only heard that everyone sent to the Tang family never came back, even those who went to investigate didn't return! Who would have thought that the Tang family became a lair of dragons and tigers."

  Zhu Zihao sneered and said lightly:

  "In the mountains, there is no old tiger, and the monkey claims to be the king. It's not that the Tang family has become a dragon's lair, but my grassroots personnel are too stupid. These past few days, *** have developed too quickly, with a large increase in members, but their quality hasn't kept up. If they were all like the people Liu Hongyi brought out, it wouldn't be this way!"

  Liu Hongyi and Xuan Yuan Guang, Zhuge Bai Yi, Wan Li Feng are the four great guardians under the crown prince. The four great guardians are different from the three groups of Long, Hu, and Gou of the Zhu family. Long, Hu, and Gou are trusted followers, also known as house generals or house slaves, without much personal freedom. The four great guardians, on the other hand, are the core strength of the crown prince's party developed by Zhu Zihao himself. These people include those cultivated by Zhu Zihao himself, who fought together with him, and some who were later poached from his opponents.

  Now these four people have each taken charge of their own territory, expanding the borders of his underworld kingdom. Among them, Liu Hongyi is mature and steady, with a wealth of wisdom and strategy, and can be said to be a versatile talent, quietly becoming the de facto leader under the crown prince. The people under him are all brothers who have gone through life and death with him, each one fearless in the face of death, yet rich in experience.

  Compared to Liu Hongyi, Longhu and others may have decent personal abilities, but the people under them are much more mediocre. Hu Qi knew that the Crown Prince was speaking the truth, and he didn't feel any resentment in his heart. This is not surprising, as although they had been trained since childhood, most of it was focused on developing their individual abilities, rather than learning how to command an army or build a disciplined team. They simply hadn't thought about how to turn their subordinates into a well-disciplined and battle-ready unit, nor did they have the ability to do so. Moreover, in reality, they didn't even have the time for it, and now they can only grope around in the dark.

  "Hu Qi, I think you should personally go to Yang City this time, bring more people with you. Zhuge Baiyi is currently in Shandong, if needed, you can borrow men from him. In just a few short months, I've already lost Long Liu, Quan Yi, Quan Er and Quan Qi, I don't want you to follow in their footsteps."

  Zhu Zihao's words rarely showed a hint of warmth, and Hu Qi's heart suddenly felt hot, he hastily said:

  "Hu Qi will definitely not disappoint his mission!"

  At the time when Zhu Zihao was deploying troops and appointing generals, Guo Yi was happily leaning against the window, watching Tang Xiaolan use a hair dryer to blow dry her clothes. After washing up yesterday, she had hung them on the balcony, and it wasn't until this morning that Guo Yi remembered he only had one set of clothes to wear out. So, he went out to buy breakfast, and Tang Xiaolan washed his clothes.

  "Lan Lan!"

  "Huh?"

  "How did your uncle and aunt meet?"

  "I'm also unclear, every time I ask, neither of them says anything, Dad smiles foolishly, Mom smiles, and I'm puzzled too. Is it just about two people dating? Why the secrecy?"

  "Oh, look at Auntie, so young and beautiful, doesn't seem like a northerner, where is her hometown?"

  Tang Xiaolan gave him a sideways glance and scolded:

  Save the flattery for when you meet my mom. My mom seems to be from Guangdong, I went there once when I was little, and only saw my maternal grandfather at home, but don't know why, after that, my mom never went back, and I haven't seen my maternal grandfather again either.

  "Haha, Uncle is a master in the antique world, what about Aunt, what is she good at?"

  Tang Xiaolan gave a meaningful glance and said:

  "Why beat around the bush? Don't you feel tired going around in circles like this?"

  Kuo Yi smiled awkwardly and hesitated for a moment before saying:

  "Ask me again when I get back tonight."

  "Suit yourself, Guo Yi, I have a question too."

  Guo Yinyin felt something was off and hastily said:

  "Is the clothes ready? I have to go, if there's any problem we can talk about it when I get back!"

  Guo Yi hastily put on his clothes and fled in a hurry, while Tang Xiaolan watched his back from the window, pouting her cute little mouth and muttering to herself.

  "I really regret letting you off like this!"

  Kuo Ya drove to Xixi Paradise and didn't let the car go in, he ran in himself, still panting, saw Li Wuyuan who was already sitting there with an awkward smile, said:

  "Traffic jam!"

  Li Wuyuan seemed to have a good impression of him, and with a casual wave of his hand, he told him to hurry up and change his clothes. By the time he had changed into new clothes and returned, the place was already packed with people, including nurses from the clinic and people in casual attire who were likely relatives of patients. They were all blocking the entrance, and the sound of a child's mournful crying could be heard coming from inside the room.

  He squeezed into the crowd and saw a young couple holding a child about one year old, who was crying desperately while struggling with all his might. The young father tried to control the child but didn't dare use too much force.

  Her mother cried out:

  "Doctor, you must save my baby, please!"

  Next to them were probably family members, chattering about what had happened. Apparently, the child was naughty and broke a ceramic cup. When everyone was cleaning up, they didn't notice that the child had picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. Now it seemed to be stuck in his throat. Everyone spoke one after another, and the originally small room became chaotic. Seeing the child's face turning purple, his crying voice grew weaker. Li Wuyuan was furious and shouted:

  "Children's parents stay behind, others leave."

  Those people were unwilling to leave, some surrounded the child, anxiously calling out the child's name, while others surrounded the doctor, begging the doctor to save the baby.

  Li Wuyuan's forehead suddenly bulged with blue veins, but he couldn't help it. He turned his head and saw that Guo Yao had returned, shouting at him:

  "Little Xia, clear the scene!"

  Guo Yi also knew that things were urgent at this time, and the child's life was in danger. He grabbed two people with both hands and threw them out instantly, then grabbed another two and threw them out again. After turning his body, he arrived in front of Li Wu Yuan and the child, opened his arms to push away the remaining people, who couldn't resist him and were pushed out immediately. He stood at the door and saw a beautiful nurse standing there, rubbing her shoulders. He pulled her over with one hand.

  The nurse jumped and hastily said:

  "What are you doing again?"

  "You guard here, no one can come in, understand? If anyone comes in, you bite him!"

  Kuo Yeh said, and with a "clang" sound, he closed the door and locked it. The nurse rolled her eyes, you've already locked the door, what's there for me to guard? She thought to herself, but still stood firmly in front of the door, pushing away the children and their families who were crowding around, pushing them away again and again...

  Kuo Yi turned around, but saw Li Wu Yuan, who was examining the child, frowning and shaking his head hastily. The patient's family couldn't bear to see the doctor shake his head, and the young mother almost collapsed to the ground, while the father also exclaimed:

  “······”
