"Boss, they're out!" Rose said.
Chu Lingtian nodded slightly and looked towards the entrance of the military prison. Sure enough, he saw two furtive figures, Jin Diao and Jin Peng.
After coming out, the two men observed their surroundings, and then a car sped out.
The two leaped onto the car with extreme speed and drove away.
Kui Niu wanted to give chase in his car, but Chu Lingtian stopped him.
"Don't rush. I've already installed a tracker on that car. They can't escape!"
Chu Lingtian smiled and said, "Now is the time to let them think they're safe, so we can continue tracking them!"
Jin Diao thought his acting was superb and that everything was perfectly arranged. In reality, it was all within Chu Lingtian's calculations.
"Boss, you're brilliant! It seems these two idiots really can't get away!" Rose said.
After a while, Chu Lingtian finally told Kui Niu to start the car and chase them on a different route.
Meanwhile, Jin Diao, thinking he had shaken off Chu Lingtian, wore a triumphant grin.
"You want to play mind games with me? I'm in the atmosphere, while you're still below the horizon!" Jin Diao sneered.
"What are you smiling about, kid? You've finally escaped, so hurry up and run. You still have the mood to gloat?"
Jin Peng's eyes warily scanned their surroundings. Confirming no cars were following, he also breathed a sigh of relief.
"You wouldn't have expected this, would you? In fact, it wasn't Master Long who sent me to rescue you. I was captured by that brat Chu Lingtian, but I played along, making him believe I'd cooperate with his charade. He then let me into the military prison, and I rescued you."
When did this guy become so clever?
Jin Peng looked at Jin Diao in disbelief. Jin Diao's expression became even more smug.
"When we get back, you better thank me properly!"
Jin Peng nodded slightly and said, "That's all easy to say. As long as we can safely leave Dachang City, anything is negotiable!"
He couldn't shake off a feeling that something was wrong. Getting out had been too easy!
"Then we have a deal. Find me two young girls, that's not too much to ask, right!"
Despite his speed, Jin Diao's lustful nature remained unchanged.
"Are two enough?"
Jin Peng turned to look at Jin Diao and said slowly, "Considering how fast you are, won't that be a bit few?"
Jin Diao's face darkened. He knew he was a "fast man," but he didn't appreciate others mentioning it.
"Heh heh, then let's have a few more!" Jin Diao said.
Jin Peng smiled and nodded, and the car continued to drive forward.
However, they hadn't gone far when they heard a deafening explosion.
The car was instantly engulfed in flames. Before the two could react, they perished in the inferno.

Soon, the car was burnt to ashes.
A middle-aged man on a motorcycle passed by. He took off his helmet, a cold smile on his face.
"Master Long wants you dead, so don't blame me!"
A sinister smile flickered across the middle-aged man's lips as he rode his motorcycle away.
...
"Boss, the tracking signal is gone!"
Kui Niu said in a gruff voice, "Boss, there's no signal anymore!"
Chu Lingtian's expression changed, and he suddenly realized something was wrong.
"This is bad. They must have met with foul play already!"
Kui Niu and Rose's faces changed. They weren't sure what Chu Lingtian meant.
"Hurry and go see! It seems I've underestimated Master Long's methods!"
Chu Lingtian's expression shifted, and he immediately drove towards Jin Peng and the others' car.
Indeed, just as Chu Lingtian had predicted, by the time they reached the location, Jin Peng and the others' car had been reduced to ashes.
Chu Lingtian's face contorted, a look of terrifying dread in his eyes. Rose and Kui Niu's hearts skipped a beat.
"Boss, this old guy is truly ruthless!"
Chu Lingtian said coldly, "Since that's the case, we'll have to go to the capital ourselves. I don't believe we won't find him!"
Chu Lingtian had initially intended to take his time, but it seemed there was no more time.
He had to initiate his backup plan.
Now that Jin Peng and Jin Diao were dead, capturing Master Long wouldn't be easy. However, perhaps they could obtain useful information from their families.
"Boss, should we investigate the surveillance footage along the route? We might be able to find the murderer. This person definitely hasn't left Dachang City yet!" Rose suggested.
That was a good idea!
If they could find the murderer, they could follow the clues to Master Long.
Chu Lingtian smiled faintly, "Excellent, you've reminded me!"
"I'll make a call right away and hope we can quickly identify the culprit!"
Immediately, Chu Lingtian dialed a number.
Ten minutes later, Chu Lingtian received a photo on his phone. It was the face of a middle-aged man riding a motorcycle.
The motorcycle killer's face had been captured when he removed his helmet.
"I'll contact the Dragon Lord immediately and ask him to help investigate this person!"
Chu Lingtian could no longer afford to wait. He had to quickly identify this individual and then identify Master Long.
"Dragon Lord, this person is heavily involved in the disappearance of the Ninth Princess. I implore you to immediately dispatch personnel to ascertain their identity and order an interception along the route!"
"As long as this person is captured, I will have a way to rescue the Ninth Princess!"
Upon hearing Chu Lingtian, the Dragon Lord immediately assured him that this person would not escape.
After hanging up, Chu Lingtian decided to go home first and bid farewell to his wife, Liu Bingxue.
He believed that with the Dragon Lord's personal intervention, they would surely identify and successfully intercept the person.
Once this person was in his hands, the real battle would begin.
Chu Lingtian knew that Master Long was not simple, and the reasons behind the Ninth Princess's disappearance were also complex.
He returned home.
Chu Lingtian immediately went to see Liu Bingxue. Liu Bingxue was with Liu Huohuo, and after their previous experiences, their sisterly bond was now very strong.
Chu Lingtian smiled and said, "Bingxue, I might have to leave for a while. Please take good care of yourself during this time. I'll come back to you as soon as I'm done with my business!"
Liu Bingxue guessed that Chu Lingtian's identity was not simple, and she immediately nodded.
"Brother-in-law, don't worry. I'll take good care of my sister. You must also take care of yourself. We'll be waiting for you back in Dachang City!"
Chu Lingtian smiled, "Huohuo has grown up! I'll definitely come back as soon as possible. You'll have to look after your sister more!"
Liu Huohuo grinned, "Of course! You must be careful!"
She also knew that Chu Lingtian was going on a mission, and her eyes were filled with worry and reluctance.
After bidding them farewell, Chu Lingtian immediately got up and left.
"Take care of yourselves. I'll be back soon!"
