The three looked at each other, and no one spoke. Ten minutes later, the woman seemed impatient and walked to the window.
Long Xiao waved his hand, and the teacup on the coffee table flew out, hitting the woman's calf.
The woman fell to the ground with a thud and shouted, "Bandit, scoundrel, I'm calling the police!"
Long Xiao stepped forward and stomped on the woman's mouth, saying, "If you dare to shout again, I'll kill you now."
The severe pain in her mouth made the woman sober up a lot. She didn't think Long Xiao looked like a police officer; police officers generally wouldn't resort to violence casually.
"You, you're not a police officer," Long Xiao said, lifting his foot. The woman, her face full of panic, looked at Long Xiao and said.
Long Xiao nodded and said, "He is a police officer, I am not."
"You, what do you want?" the woman asked.
Long Xiao lifted his foot and kicked the woman, saying, "Get up, sit down, and wait for me obediently."
After waiting for another half hour, Xiao Ming called, and a middle-aged man in his fifties came upstairs. He was likely the person they were looking for.
Long Xiao stood by the door. The moment the door was opened, he reached out and pulled the person opening it inside.
Zhao Xingyue, caught off guard, was pulled into the room by Long Xiao. Realizing something was wrong, he swung a punch at Long Xiao's head.
Zhao Xingyue's punch was very fast. Long Xiao gently tilted his head to avoid the incoming fist. With his right hand, he grabbed Zhao Xingyue's wrist and flicked it. With a crack, Zhao Xingyue's right wrist was broken.
Zhao Xingyue screamed in pain. Long Xiao casually closed the door and said, "Zhao Xingyue, I have something to ask you."
Zhao Xingyue sat on the sofa, holding his injured hand, and asked, "Who are you people, and why are you in my house?"
Long Xiao smiled and said, "Zhao Xingyue, group leader of the Longxing Association."
"Who are you, a police officer, or someone from a special department?" Zhao Xingyue asked, looking at Long Xiao nervously.
Long Xiao shook his head and said, "Neither, I'm just an ordinary citizen."
"You can't afford to provoke the Longxing Association..."
Long Xiao interrupted Zhao Xingyue's words and said, "I already have. I've dealt with all the people from the Pingcheng Longxing Association. They told me you were here, so I came."
Those who went to other places had all returned yesterday. Those who went to Pingcheng had not been heard from. Zhao Xingyue was already worried about this matter and was preparing to go to Pingcheng himself when people came looking for him.
"What is your purpose in finding me?" Zhao Xingyue asked.
Long Xiao smiled and said, "Alright, let's be direct. I want detailed information about your group, and tell me where you got a large batch of precious medicinal materials."
"If you need medicinal materials, you can buy them. Zhedong has the largest medicinal material market in the country, where you can find all kinds of herbs."
"Zhedong's medicinal material market has a lot of herbs, but few that are old enough. They're useless."
"Most of the medicinal materials here were bought from all over the country. A small portion was sent by our leader. I don't know where he got them."
"Who is your leader, and where can I find him?"
Zhao Xingyue shook his head and said, "I've never met our leader, nor have I contacted him. I really don't know where he is."
Long Xiao walked over to the woman sitting on the sofa and said, "This is your wife, isn't it? If you don't confess honestly, I will break her bones one by one."
"Don't, don't touch my wife, I'll tell you everything I know," Zhao Xingyue shouted urgently when he saw Long Xiao about to act.
Zhao Xingyue told Long Xiao the situation of his subordinates, the location of the warehouse he rented in Zhaojiaji, and the information about the other four groups he had sent out.
While Long Xiao was interrogating Zhao Xingyue, Xing Yuhui took out his mobile phone and placed it on the coffee table, recording the entire interrogation process.
After finishing the questioning, Long Xiao looked at Xing Yuhui and said, "This guy is yours to deal with. Handle him as you see fit."
"Mr. Ouyang, what you need are their medicinal materials, am I right?" Xing Yuhui asked.
Long Xiao nodded and said, "Yes, I need their medicinal materials. I'll go get the materials, and you'll be responsible for capturing the people."
Xing Yuhui made a phone call, and about ten minutes later, several police officers appeared downstairs.
After handing Zhao Xingyue and his wife over to the police officers, the four of them, Long Xiao, quickly arrived at the Longxing Association's warehouse in Zhaojiaji.
The warehouse was not large, with a big courtyard, five single-story buildings, and an underground garage.
As the four of them arrived at the entrance, Zhao Tianxi looked around, suspecting they might have come to the wrong place.
"Mr. Ouyang, have we been tricked by that guy?" Zhao Tianxi asked.
Long Xiao looked at Xiao Ming. Xiao Ming sniffed and said, "That's right, it must be here."
Zhao Tianxi looked at Xiao Ming strangely and asked, "How do you know it's here just by smelling it?"
"We're looking for a herb warehouse, and I smell the herbs."
Zhao Tianxi also sniffed hard, but he didn't smell anything.
The four pushed open the gate and entered the courtyard. A dog barked, and four large dogs lunged at Long Xiao and the others.
Zhao Tianxi and Xing Yuhui panicked and retreated, while Long Xiao and Xiao Ming charged forward. With two bangs, two dogs were kicked away by Xiao Ming, and the other two were grabbed by the neck by Long Xiao and thrown out.
Following the barking, a hunchbacked old man came out of the house. He looked at Long Xiao and the others warily and asked, "Who are you people, and why are you breaking into my house?"
Xiao Ming lunged at the hunchbacked old man and threw a punch.
The hunchbacked old man quickly retreated in fear, dodging Xiao Ming's punch. His movement was strange, like a falling withered leaf.
Xiao Ming chuckled and said, "A master, I like it. Come and spar with me, and let me try my Bone-Cracking Hand."
Xiao Ming advanced again, his hands moving rapidly, using his Bone-Cracking Hand to attack the hunchbacked old man.
Seeing the hunchbacked old man's peculiar movements, Long Xiao simply found a place to sit and watched.
Xiao Ming did not use his 'Chi Mei Xiao Yao Step,' only his Bone-Cracking Hand. The two fought for over a hundred rounds, but Xiao Ming still couldn't catch the hunchbacked old man.
Xing Yuhui and Zhao Tianxi stood by and watched for a few minutes. Xing Yuhui suddenly remembered that he had seen information about this hunchbacked old man.
"He's the notorious bandit Liu Tuozi!" Xing Yuhui shouted.
Long Xiao looked back at Xing Yuhui and asked, "Old Xing, do you have this guy's information?"
Xing Yuhui nodded and said, "I've seen his profile. He was very famous in the Jiangzhe region over ten years ago, a renowned doctor. After being cuckolded, he killed his wife's entire family and went on the run. In the past decade, he has committed dozens of major cases, killing at least fifty people. The police have never found him."
As Long Xiao was watching, he suddenly sensed someone looking out from inside the house. He spread his five elements' qi and discovered that two people inside were holding pellet guns, hidden behind the curtains, looking for an opportunity to strike.
Long Xiao stood up, about to make a move, when he heard footsteps approaching from behind.
