But just at this moment.
"Wao wao—"
The sound of police sirens suddenly exploded, as dozens of police cars roared in.
"Master Fan, it’s bad, the cops are here, let’s hurry up and get the job done!" someone said in panic.
Fan Ming paused slightly, then stopped paying attention to Xiao Tian, turning his gaze towards the farm family, he said coldly: "Hand over the Five Elements Crystal Ball immediately, or else, kill!"
Having already seen this person’s ruthless venom, the farmer was full of terror in his eyes, trembling as he pulled out a dazzling crystal ball from his chest.
Seeing this crystal ball, Fan Ming and others rejoiced instantly, and with a wave of his hand, he directly took it away.
Without waiting for the police to come, he led a group of thugs and hurriedly fled into the mountains.
"Xiao Tian, how are you?" The police finally arrived, and in the lead were Wang Meng and Captain Jiang Chao.
The sight of the bloodied Xiao Tian shocked both of them greatly, truly unexpected for the always wise and mighty Detective Xiao to end up in such a sorry state.
"Take it easy, Xiao!" Wang Meng carefully helped Xiao Tian up.
Jiang Chao then led a large group of subordinates to chase into the deep mountains.
"By the way, Xiao, who exactly are these people to have even you suffer such a huge loss?" Wang Meng asked while bandaging Xiao Tian’s wounds.
Upon hearing this question, a deep hatred and unwillingness rose on Xiao Tian’s pale face.
He secretly vowed in his heart that one day he would make this group pay tenfold, a hundredfold the price!
After briefly explaining to Wang Meng, Xiao Tian asked: "How did you know I was here?"
"Haha..." Wang Meng laughed dryly twice, and said, "That was Director Bai’s idea, that day he saw you leave the police station with an unusual expression, and immediately had us follow, worried you might slip up."
"Later we lost you, and after searching for two days without news, Director Bai contacted the local police station and unexpectedly learned that a mysterious group, of unknown origin, was active in this area."
"Fearing you might be in danger, Captain Jiang and I coordinated with the branch, bringing over a hundred and eighty police officers and special forces here immediately."
"Unexpectedly, we really found you here, haha... Xiao, we arrived just in time, didn’t we?"
Xiao Tian nodded and gently patted Wang Meng’s shoulder.
Twenty minutes later.
The police ultimately returned empty-handed...
It turned out, the Water Drop Organization had secretly stationed a helicopter in the mountains, and by the time they arrived, the group had already escaped by air.
Xiao Tian didn’t expect to capture them so easily either; the origins of this organization were too mysterious.
The first direct confrontation had left him greatly disadvantaged, nearly costing him his life.
Even managing to enlist someone as ruthless as "Iron Corpse Fan Ming," Xiao Tian had reason to believe that their displayed strength was just the tip of the iceberg.
"The hateful thing is that they acquired the Five Elements Crystal Ball, it will only get tougher to find clues about them in the future!"
Xiao Tian sighed inwardly.
As the group was preparing to return, the farmer suddenly called out to him.
Quietly slipped a package into Xiao Tian’s hand, the farmer whispered mysteriously: "Young man, thank you for saving my family of three today, take this, this is what they truly wanted!"
After speaking, without waiting for the police to take his statement, he hurriedly left with his wife and child.
Although Xiao Tian was puzzled, he couldn’t open it to look in front of everyone, and then stumbled, almost fainting.
Seeing his severe injuries and blood loss, Jiang Chao quickly rushed him to the city’s first hospital, admitted to a special VIP ward.
Lin Bingxuan and Le Yaoyao received the news and arrived at the hospital as soon as possible.
Seeing Xiao Tian wrapped in a thick layer of bandages, the two women started crying like rain on pear blossoms, demanding to live in the hospital to carefully take care of him.
The three indulged for quite a while, Xiao Tian had to coax them back home.
After the two left, colleagues from the West City Branch also came to visit him.
Among them was naturally his beautiful master, Yu Ningxue.
Yu Ningxue still had that cold demeanor, scolding Xiao Tian that he shouldn’t be a hero in everything, resulting in such a big loss now.
Though her demeanor was ice-cold and her tone wasn’t gentle, Xiao Tian could see that Yu Ningxue cared about him no less than anyone else, a classic example of a sharp tongue but a soft heart.
Afterwards, Xu Fei also made a special trip to come over.
When he received the call, he was in a top entertainment venue turning fortunes with two beauties.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Fei immediately pulled out his ’thing,’ not even properly dressed in underwear, and rushed to the hospital.
Thus proving that the brotherhood between the two is far from ordinary.
On Xu Fei’s way over, Xiao Tian couldn’t help but curiously take out the package the farmer had given him.
After opening it, it turned out to be a palm-sized crystal ball, radiating multicolored light!
