Little Bai's expression changed slightly. ”Get out of my way!”

The lieutenant colonel appraised her with a cold expression and refused to move a single inch.

Little Bai took a step to sidestep him, and he immediately followed suit.

Little Bai's brows furrowed slightly as she turned toward Mo Lan. As a member of the Central Federal Guard Bureau, she had a great level of autonomy when Mo Lan came under threat, but there was no direct threat to Mo Lan's safety at the moment, and his was quite a high-ranking military official, so she was still rather wary of him. As such, she wouldn't be able to do anything in this situation unless she received an explicit order from Mo Lan.

”Is the military free to do whatever they want and oppress people as they please?” Right at this moment, a clear voice suddenly sounded, immediately following which a hand appeared on the lieutenant colonel's shoulder.

The lieutenant colonel turned his head, and was greeted by the sight of a handsome face. Just as he turned to look at this man, he was stunned to discover that his pupils had suddenly turned vertical. Even as a six-ring Soul Emperor, he was instantly struck by an overwhelming sense of fear that made all of his fine hairs stand up on end.

He was then dragged off to the side, unable to offer even a single shred of resistance.

The horror in his heart was making his entire body tremble slightly, and even though Tang Wulin was only laying a hand on his shoulder without exerting any force, he still didn't dare to do anything reckless.

Little Bai was still taking photos, and at this point, a confrontation between the military the police force had already ensued.

Under normal circ.u.mstances, the high-ranking police officer would perhaps turn a blind eye and let things slide, but he couldn't do that here! With Mo Lan present to supervise the proceedings, he wouldn't most likely be out of a job tomorrow if he dared to let the soldiers go.

”Stop!” The high-ranking police officer stood in the way of the soldiers. However, these soldiers only took orders from their direct superiors, and the soldier walking at the forefront of the group raised his soul laser gun before swinging the b.u.t.t of the weapon toward the police officer. The order he had received was to recover the detained soldiers; everything else could wait until later.

However, the high-ranking police officer was no slouch, either. Light flashed from his body, and four soul rings rose up from beneath his feet. He caught the b.u.t.t of the soul laser gun with one hand before throwing the soldier off to the side.

All of the soldiers instantly aimed their weapons at him, and it seemed that the situation could spiral out of control at any moment.

”Stop!” Right at this moment, a delicate cry sounded, and a figure rushed out from the distance.

It really was her!

Tang Wulin's expression instantly darkened at the sight of her.

Compared to the sorry state she had been in the night before, Shen Xing seemed to have transformed into a completely different person today. Her military uniform gave her a very sharp and crisp appearance, and the epaulets on her shoulders indicated that she was a lieutenant colonel. It was already quite a feat for someone of her age to have climbed up to such a high rank in the military.

Tang Wulin appraised her with a cold expression. She was undoubtedly the one behind this farcical situation. She wanted to capture him, but everything had escalated into a major incident. However, this was also a clear indication of just how powerful her backers were. Otherwise, she wouldn't dare to mobilize military forces so recklessly in Bright City like this.

Shen Xing quickly strode over to the high-ranking police officer with a slightly apologetic look on her face, and she said, ”My apologies, please hold off on detaining my men for now.”

After that, she quickly strode over to Mo Lan before giving her a ma.s.sive hug right before Tang Wulin's astonished eyes.

”Sister Molan, what are you doing here?”

Mo Lan also faltered slightly upon seeing her. ”I could ask you the same, Little Xing.”

Shen Xing laid her chin on Mo Lan's shoulder and whispered something into her ear, upon which a peculiar look instantly appeared on Mo Lan's face.
