Shanghai City, the hall of the Public Security Bureau West Branch.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall is quiet. A huge display screen stands in the center of the hall, segmented into several frames showing various traffic locations in Shanghai. Be it deep forests, highway entrances, or seaside alleyways.

Every place in the pictures appears calm and peaceful. But in reality, most of Shanghai’s police force has been deployed there.

This is an interception mission against a drug cartel. It involves a major drug trafficking group encompassing Shanghai and several nearby cities. For the past few months, Jiang Chao has been battling this cunning group of drug dealers.

However, the Shanghai Police Station has suffered tremendous losses. Over the past few months, they’ve only managed to take down two small hideouts.

The director of the Shanghai Headquarters, Zhang Chao, and Yang He sat on one side of the conference table, staring intently at the monitor. After all, this is the largest interception operation this year. If successful, it could directly capture the high-level drug cartel members, and by following the clues, potentially dismantle the organization!

Thus, Jiang Chao and the people from the Shanghai Headquarters are tense and yet hopeful.

On the table are sheets of information about the heads of the opposing side in this operation.

Yang He held the documents, his brows furrowed, and warned, "The high-level members of the drug cartel coming to Shanghai are led by Jin Zhan. In earlier years, he was active in Vietnam, then managed a private army under the guise of a security company." 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Yang He pointed to a highway entrance on the screen, "According to our calculations, the drug cartel will definitely pass through here. However, before that, we’ve set several ambush points. This is the final checkpoint. I have Xiao Tian guarding it."

"Xiao Tian, huh..." Jiang Chao looked at the screen, sighing, "Fortunately, we have Xiao Tian..."

"Do your utmost and leave the rest to fate. This time we’ve mobilized all police forces, and the opposition seems to be up to no good..."

-----

Meanwhile, Xiao Tian was driving towards the entrance of Binjiang highway in Shanghai City. Yu Ningxue sat in the passenger seat.

Yu Ningxue watched the rearview mirror vigilantly. Behind them, a black SUV had been tailing them for quite some time.

"Drug cartel members?" Yu Ningxue exclaimed.

Xiao Tian glanced at the rear casually and shook his head, "No."

Then, Xiao Tian smiled faintly, pressed the accelerator, and said with a grin, "Want to race against me? Perfect, it’s been a bit dull on this road!"

Currently, the people following behind Xiao Tian’s car are Zhongliang and his group. Their purpose was to directly seize the rare book from Xiao Tian’s hands. They have been monitoring Xiao Tian for several days.

Zhongliang sat in the car. After being played by Xiao Tian yesterday, he became even more convinced that this Xiao Tian could not be left alive!

This time, Zhongliang gathered many experts from the Underground Boxing Realm in Shanghai City, including the owners of several boxing gyms in Shanghai. He was confident enough to seize the rare book and directly eliminate Xiao Tian!

In the car, Zhongliang coldly looked at Xiao Tian ahead and angrily said to the elder next to him, "Master Guo, Xiao Tian, whom I mentioned, is in the car ahead. I’ll need your assistance later."

The elder known as Elder Guo was Guo Zhou, the owner of Shanghai Dongquan Martial Arts Hall, and considered a Grandmaster in the Martial Realm of Shanghai.

Guo Zhou nodded, full of arrogance, looking like a sage with an immortal demeanor, and said faintly, "Since you are a friend of Wu Heng, I will naturally help you with this favor."

"Humph!" Guo Zhou’s eldest disciple, Huang Chen, sneered coldly, "He’s just a nameless junior. Doesn’t even warrant the action of my master."

Zhongliang quickly shook his head and explained, "You don’t know, this person called Xiao Tian is incredibly strong! Several of us couldn’t compete with him."

"It’s just brute strength." As soon as Zhongliang’s words fell, Guo Zhou sneered disdainfully, "No matter how great the brute strength, it’s powerless before a Martial Dao Grandmaster. True martial artists cultivate Qi, which is incomparable to mere brute strength."

As he spoke, Guo Zhou proudly stretched out his hand. A light squeeze of his fist in the air, and a cup in front of him instantly shattered, stunning everyone.

"Did you see that? This is the Qi of a martial artist!"

"My God!"

Seeing the cup being crushed in the air, Zhongliang, who initially had little confidence in Guo Zhou, was utterly shocked that his jaw nearly dropped.

Not to mention seeing it, Zhongliang had never even heard of such a phenomenon. Qi, martial artist—these were concepts far beyond his reach.

Realizing the strength of a true Martial Dao Grandmaster, he couldn’t help but imagine if Guo Zhou had crushed his head instead. The thought was terrifying, and Guo Zhou’s capabilities completely overturned his understanding.

"Master Guo is truly a contemporary powerhouse! With you here, I am relieved!" Zhongliang’s tone instantly became respectful and filled with confidence. He pointed ahead at Xiao Tian’s car and instructed the driver, "Quick, don’t let him escape, speed up and pursue!"

"Yes!"

The driver nodded and slammed on the accelerator. The car sped up as if launched from a cannon, turning the surrounding trees and scenery into a blur.

Xiao Tian gripped the steering wheel, steadily controlling the car while keeping an eye on the black SUV trailing them.

The two cars quickly closed in, soon running parallel. Xiao Tian turned his head and saw the SUV’s window roll down, Zhongliang sneering at him, shouting, "Xiao Tian, today is the day you die!"

"Is that so? You better watch what’s ahead!" Xiao Tian sneered, stomping on the accelerator. The car roared furiously, resounding throughout the street.

Xiao Tian’s car weaved like an eagle in the crowded road, deftly avoiding surrounding vehicles while leaving a trail of black smoke.

"Cough cough cough cough!"

The black smoke from Xiao Tian’s car enveloped Zhongliang’s black SUV like a dark cloth, obscuring any sight. By the time the smoke cleared, Zhongliang realized they had veered off course, heading towards the roadside.

Bang!

A loud crash followed as the black SUV slammed into a massive trash bin, causing the car to shake violently like a headless fly on the street, crashing into countless railings.

"Damn it!!"

Watching Xiao Tian’s car getting farther away, Zhongliang’s face turned extremely ugly. He furiously slammed the car window, clearly not expecting Xiao Tian’s driving skills to be so proficient, maneuvering through the crowded road like it was a racetrack.

A moment later, Zhongliang grumbled in a low voice, "Go directly onto the sidewalk and chase!"

"This..." The driver hesitated. Zhongliang glared, "Chase him now, or I’ll deal with you!"
