This person has been making quite a name for himself lately. As members of the O Group, everyone has heard of him, though not with the comprehensive analysis found in the files.

Especially the Star Brilliance Nightclub, which had its grand opening last night and has caused a sensation across Hong Kong Island today, being called a paradise for men.

These police officers are human too, and men at that. Most of them are quite healthy.

Looking at the relevant reports and photos, it would be a lie to say they weren't tempted. However, as police officers, going there would be…

What a shame!

Inspector Huang rapped his knuckles on the table, clearly displeased with everyone's wandering minds.

"Based on the information we currently have and the medical department's assessment, this person should be a paranoid schizophrenic with severe perverted tendencies. He has already been classified as a dangerous individual and requires close monitoring."

"Inspector, if the information is so complete, why don't we just arrest him?"

"Insufficient evidence. Although we know he killed four people, there are no bodies or witnesses. Even those he severely injured are too afraid to come forward and accuse him. As for Viper, there's no way he'll testify. So, we can't move against him yet."

"Hmph!" a man with a sinister expression snorted. "A Young and Dangerous is still a Young and Dangerous. Whether there's concrete evidence or not, bringing him in for questioning shouldn't be a problem. At the very least, we can give him a warning, let him know he needs to be more restrained, and that the police are watching him!"

Inspector Huang was silent for a moment, then looked up at the sinister man and said, "You can, but be mindful of your methods. Don't mess things up!"

"Don't worry, I've dealt with plenty of these Young and Dangerous types!"

After the meeting, the sinister man took two subordinates and headed straight for the Star Brilliance Nightclub. Wang Xuan had just finished his meal when he was alerted by his subordinate that police were looking for him, which surprised him.

The sinister man wasn't in a hurry. He followed the guide to the top-floor office. Upon entering, he stared at Wang Xuan and gave a cold smile. "You're Wang Xuan, right? We're from the O Group. We suspect you're involved in a murder case. Come with us to assist with the investigation!"

Murder case. Wang Xuan's heart skipped a beat. He tried to maintain his composure, saying word for word, "Please show me your badges."

"As arrogant as ever." The sinister man's eyes widened. He casually pulled out his badge and tossed it to Wang Xuan. "Here, let our Brother Blood Dragon check it. See if it's real. We wouldn't want you to be illiterate!"

The police badge identified the leader as Cao Hong, a Detective Inspector.

"Stop dawdling. Once you've looked, come with me."

Looking up at Cao Hong, Wang Xuan's heart gradually settled. If they truly had evidence of murder, they wouldn't have waited until today to find him, nor would they have brought so few people. As for the severe injuries, the Hong Yi Society wouldn't have reported it, and the news had already come in today that Viper wasn't dead.

Therefore, these people had no real evidence!

"Ah Wai, get a lawyer. Bail me out!"

He said to Ah Wai beside him, then stood up and walked over.

Click, click.

The handcuffs were snapped tightly onto Wang Xuan, leaving no room to spare, and they hurt.

He glanced sideways at Cao Hong, a cold smile playing on his lips. A warning? How low-class!

As he was escorted downstairs, the employees and hostesses in the nightclub saw Wang Xuan being handcuffed, and their faces turned gloomy.

He frowned slightly, knowing that these police officers were deliberately trying to humiliate him. He didn't care about that. "What are you all looking at? Get back to work. No slacking off. I'll be checking on things tonight."

Hearing their boss say this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. But Cao Hong, following behind, was annoyed.

Damn it!

This guy clearly doesn't respect them, the police. He reached out and shoved Wang Xuan hard from behind. "Hurry up!"

Wang Xuan stumbled but managed to regain his footing. He suddenly turned back and glared at Cao Hong. "I can sue you for this attitude. Don't act like you have lower morals than a thug!"

Cao Hong sneered, his tone full of malice. "Fine, let's see if you can still be so arrogant once we get to the station!"

As expected, upon arriving at the police station, Wang Xuan was immediately sent to the interrogation room. Before the widespread development of digital storage technology, surveillance cameras were simply not used in police departments.

In other words, in this era, as long as no obvious injuries were left, torture was non-existent.

Strapped into the interrogation chair, unable to move his limbs, he prayed that Ah Wai would handle things reliably and find a lawyer to bail him out as soon as possible. Without a lawyer, Ah Wai alone might not be able to get him out for a long time.

As for softening up to the police, that was impossible. His current standing was based on his ferocity. If he showed fear, he knew he wouldn't fare well.

"Wang Xuan, known as Blood Dragon, a subordinate of East Star's Baki. Ferocious and brutal, a mass murderer, with severe mental illness and perverted tendencies."

Wang Xuan felt powerless to retort internally.

Who has mental illness? I admit I'm a bit ruthless. I have less than three years to live, how can I survive without being ruthless?!

But what the hell is this "perverted tendencies" crap? I'm not perverted, you motherf***ers!

"Half a month ago, on Portland Street, midnight, wielding a knife, killed four people, severely injured seventeen."

"Yesterday evening, at Star Brilliance Nightclub, in full view of everyone, held Viper at knifepoint and stabbed him eight times, causing severe injuries. He was only out of danger today."

Bang! Cao Hong slammed his hand on the table. "We have conclusive evidence for these charges. Do you plead guilty or not guilty!"

"If you have evidence, then sentence me. Why all the nonsense?" Wang Xuan appeared indifferent, tilting his head and glancing at Cao Hong. "Do you even understand the law? Discuss this matter with my lawyer!"

"I don't understand the law, hehe!" Cao Hong was amused to the point of laughter. "Alright, I have ways of dealing with punks like you. Let's see if you're truly crazy or just faking it!"

Cao Hong gestured to the two police officers beside him. One left and stood guard outside the door. The other took out a large plastic bag from a drawer, a sinister grin on his face as he approached Wang Xuan. "Let's see how tough your mouth is!"

"If you have the guts, kill me. I'll remember all of you. We'll settle this later!"

"Fine, let's see if you can still be so tough in a bit!" he said fiercely, then moved behind Wang Xuan and suddenly pulled the plastic bag over his head.

As soon as he inhaled, the plastic bag would block his nose and mouth. As the seconds ticked by, Wang Xuan felt time slow down for the first time. The air in his lungs grew scarcer, the feeling of suffocation intensified, and his body involuntarily struggled. But the more he struggled, the worse the oxygen deprivation became, until his consciousness began to blur.

Riiip!

The plastic bag was ripped off Wang Xuan's head. As fresh air rushed in, Wang Xuan gasped for air like a madman.

Huff, huff, huff.
