Ever since Zhao Dabao was taken into the safe house, everything has been calm, like the tranquil waters before a storm.

We thoroughly investigated all the bank cards, phones, messages, WeChat, Alipay, Taobao, JD, Pinduoduo, Eleme, Meituan, and other records of Lin Kexin, Chen Jiafei, and Jia Yanhua, and finally discovered that both Lin Kexin and Chen Jiafei were registered on the dark web. Chen Jiafei's ID on the dark web is "MistNotMist", and Lin Kexin's ID is "FlowerNotFlower". They frequently contact an ID called "JF", but they use ciphers, and we haven't been able to decipher the communication content yet.

"It seems that this 'JF' is most likely the murderer!"

"JF...JF... could it be Jia Feng?"

"Immediately suspend Jia Feng and put him under investigation." Deputy Director Wang suggested.

"We can't randomly suspect our comrades, especially without any evidence."

Zhang Weihua rejected the proposal and insisted on having Jia Feng involved in Zhao Dabao's protection work.

Zhao Dabao was placed in the safe house at the city bureau building. Hundreds of people from the SWAT team, the criminal police team, and the patrol team formed a guard squad. The deputy director of the provincial bureau, the director of the city bureau, and all the deputy directors of the city bureau were stationed in the building, ready for any situation. All doors, windows, pipes, and ventilation ducts were equipped with filters, and Zhao Dabao’s food and water were strictly tested by experts.

Time, like sand in an hourglass, was so fleeting yet so long. Amid the anxious atmosphere, one day passed, two days passed, three days passed, four days passed, five days passed, six days passed.

The morning of the seventh day passed.

The noon of the seventh day passed.

The evening of the seventh day passed.

Safe and sound.

Safe and sound.

Safe and sound.

Safe and sound.

Safe and sound.

... A gigantic balloon slowly ascended, with a young man with long hair, a handsome face, and a calm expression underneath it.

"All units, attention, we have an emergency situation. The SWAT team, load your bullets and shoot if the target approaches. The patrol team should intensify their patrols, the criminal police team should strengthen their defenses, and the close protection team should pay attention to guarding and prohibit Zhao Dabao from any actions."

"Who is the person on the balloon? Identify immediately!"

"Found it. The target is called Lu Juncheng, a third-year student at Jiangnan University, 20 years old, with no criminal record. Seven days ago, he hosted a live broadcast of Chen Jiafei's wingsuit flying activity."

"Deploy the helicopter and intercept immediately!" Director Zhang said with a stern expression.

"But... Lu Juncheng's balloon flight was lawfully approved, and... the director of the meteorological bureau is Chen Jiafei's father. If we want to intercept him, we need sufficient reasons and also need to report to the city leaders and coordinate with the meteorological bureau."

"Report and coordinate immediately!"

There was a huge portrait on Lu Juncheng's balloon. The front side of the portrait showed Chen Jiayi and Xiaoya hugging each other, with Chen Jiayi having a radiant smile and Xiaoya looking cute and playful. The back side had several large characters - "Support the Judges". Lu Juncheng was dressed in an extremely exaggerated manner, wearing immaculately white Hanfu. At this moment, he stood tall and slender, playing a flute, as the balloon slowly floated towards the city bureau building.

"SWAT team, ready to shoot!" Deputy Director Wang ordered at the top of his lungs.

However, the balloon stopped three kilometers away from the building. The melodious sound of Lu Juncheng's flute spread through the loudspeakers. His robes fluttered in the wind, and his face was as handsome as jade, making numerous girls watching the live broadcast feel a flutter of hearts.

Safe and sound.

Safe and sound.

Safe and sound.

Safe and sound.

Safe and sound.

Safe and sound.

Lu Juncheng took something out of his pocket, his face solemn.

"All units on alert!"

The telescope focused on Lu Juncheng's hand: "Report to the leader, it seems like he’s holding a firework."

"What?! A firework?!"

The firework in Lu Juncheng’s hand was lit, flying into the sky, drawing beautiful arcs.

At this moment, countless fireworks shot into the sky from all directions in Binhai City, bursting into brilliant lights.

The helicopter roared closer, with the loudspeaker repeatedly calling, "Lu Juncheng, drop the item in your hand and return immediately. This is the final warning!"

At this moment, there was a commotion in the safe house.

While everyone was focused on the balloon and the helicopter, a dark figure suddenly kicked open Zhao Dabao’s room door, rushed in with a gun, and was immediately pinned down by the long-guarding protection team.

Jia Feng! It was indeed Jia Feng!!

"Jia Feng, what are you doing?"

"I was worried Zhao Dabao was in danger and came to check."

"Nonsense!"

Deputy Director Wang walked into the safe house with a serious expression, looked at the fallen Jia Feng with a complex look, and uncovered the blanket on Zhao Dabao’s bed.

Under the blanket was a long pillow.
