• The middle-aged man attacked the investigators and tried to flee, but the investigator bound him with golden chains and Liu Jialin subdued him before they arrested him.

Lin Li helped Liu Jialin repel an Azure Society attacker, then learned that a Black Scale Society member had secretly tracked his van. He denied involvement in the lumber-processing plant incident and left for home, determined to find the tracker and strengthen his cultivation.
