However, because his mouth was taped shut, Director Lin and Xier couldn’t hear what he was saying.

"Are you... his people?" Lu Xingzhe rose with a feather in hand, spinning it around while eyeing the group.

Upon hearing this, Director Lin waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no."

"I am the director of the Law Enforcement Bureau."

"I truly apologize; my subordinates were ignorant and have offended you three."

"Are the three of you alright?" Director Lin said while scanning the three of them briefly to confirm they weren’t hurt.

"So, you’re the director." Lu Xingzhe spoke, glancing at Xier beside Director Lin, "Earlier, he was threatening and intimidating us. I thought you were with the Chen family."

Xier felt a chill down his spine upon hearing this, "It’s all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."

Lu Xingzhe let out a cold sneer at Xier, "A misunderstanding? I fear it wasn’t a misunderstanding, but rather intentional on your part."

"Clearly, we are the victims, yet without inquiry, you lock us in this Dark Prison."

"Not just threatening and intimidating us, but also allowing troublemakers to bully us?" 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"If we didn’t know a bit of Ancient Martial Arts, I’d probably be dead by now, and my two classmates sold off to a nightclub."

Speaking the last line, Lu Xingzhe’s tone suddenly chilled.

Immediately, a fierce pressure emanated from the Dark Prison, felt by those standing at the entrance.

The group in suits showed no change in expression, but Director Lin and Xier were in bad shape.

They almost couldn’t withstand it, nearly kneeling.

"May I ask, who is Miss Gu?" asked the man in a black suit, looking at Gu Zhiqi and Qiao Qingshu.

Gu Zhiqi glanced at him, "I am."

Upon hearing this, the man’s gaze toward Gu Zhiqi became respectful, "Lord Yan Dong sent me to pick you up."

Gu Zhiqi nodded slightly toward the man.

The last time she met Tang Shuan, Tang Shuan mentioned Yan Dong to her.

Even referred Yan Dong to Gu Zhiqi, saying if she ever came to Central Continent City and encountered any trouble, she should contact Yan Dong.

She had already chatted with Yan Dong several times.

Just now, she received a message from Yan Dong, asking if she had arrived in Central Continent City. Gu Zhiqi took the chance to ask him if he could resolve the matter here.

Yan Dong readily agreed, saying someone would come to free her shortly.

After nodding to the man in the suit, Gu Zhiqi glanced at Lu Xingzhe.

Lu Xingzhe instantly understood, releasing the pressure aimed at the suited men while casting a scrutinizing gaze at the suit.

Sent by Lord Yan Dong?

He hadn’t heard of such a person.

If his surname is Yan, what’s his relation to the Yan Family?

After greeting Gu Zhiqi, the suit addressed Director Lin, "Does Director Lin know how to handle those involved in this matter?"

Director Lin nodded repeatedly upon hearing this.

"As for the others, Director Lin can handle them according to the rules. As for Young Master Chen... we will take him back to Heavenly Domain Pavilion." The suit said, glancing sideways at the person beside him.

The person by his side immediately stepped into the Dark Prison, pulling Young Master Chen out.

Thus, the group exited the Dark Prison together.

They had barely walked a few steps when they encountered a group of Ancient martial artists rushing toward them.

The leader’s eyes briefly brightened upon seeing Gu Zhiqi, but his gaze became wary upon seeing Heavenly Domain Pavilion, "Where are you taking Miss Gu?"

Following this statement, several people behind the leader assumed combat postures.

Gu Zhiqi looked at those Ancient martial artists and asked, "Who are you?"

The leader immediately responded upon hearing this, "Miss Gu, we are from the Wei Family, sent by the Young Master to pick you up."
