Four vampires—He Muqing, Shu Yajing, and Luo Man each handled one individually, while the fourth was defeated jointly by He and Shu.
Shu, the police officer, looked at Luo Man, who had arrived unexpectedly, and asked, "How did you come? Xiao Feng said you were very busy and didn't invite you this time!"
The elegant manager blushed, clearly realizing she had previously misunderstood Qin. She replied, "We're good friends, aren't we? When you're all fighting so hard, how could I possibly stay idle? So I came over to help!"
"He and I are good friends," He said, extending his right fist.
Luo Man immediately followed, extending her right fist and meeting his. Shu, instinctively, mirrored the gesture. As the three fists touched, she suddenly added, "Good friends, I suppose? But isn't Manman still not officially Xiao Feng's? Then how can we really count as good friends?"
The young manager shook her head in exasperation, huffing, "Is it really necessary for us to share the same man—our very own man—to be considered good friends? What kind of logic is this? This mindset is absolutely unacceptable!"
The supervisor also tapped her head, saying, "What are you always thinking about? Can't we have a close, friendly relationship—something like close friends or lifelong buddies—between us and Manman? Besides, Manman has been impressing Xiao Feng for so long. He must have some thoughts about her, right? So, Manman will eventually become one of our good friends!"
Shu, the police officer, nodded in agreement, "Yes, from now on, I'll treat Manman as a good friend!"
Pfft—The young manager collapsed backward, mentally muttering, What kind of logic is this? After joining Qin Feng, their thinking has completely changed.
Footsteps sounded outside, and Qin, the young officer, walked in, smiling, "You three did a great job—solved the battle in less than a minute. Well done! Wait, Manman, why are you lying on the sofa? Are you injured? Let me check on you, brother!"
Romain immediately jumped up, sighing, "Grandmama's perfectly fine! Next time, don't forget me again! Qin, this proves we sisters aren't just decorative—so from now on, don't treat us like that!"
He firmly declared, "Manman, when have I ever looked down on you? This mission was entirely my idea—this shows I've placed you all in a very important position!"
Shu, the police officer, sighed, "Unfortunately, only four vampires—haven't even had enough time to enjoy them all—and now they're all defeated!"
As she spoke, Qin's expression changed.
He realized that the number of vampires couldn't possibly be so small—only four people arriving in the vast land of China could make much of a ripple. Moreover, their actions were so high-profile; it simply didn't make sense to believe they were not well-organized and purposeful.
"What's going on?" asked He Liang, approaching with concern.
He said firmly, "Immediately contact the Ministry of Public Security and instruct city-level offices to search for foreigners recently spotted at nightclubs, with a special focus on those of European descent!"
Only twelve days remained until the next full moon. If the vampires weren't uncovered within this timeframe, countless lives would be at risk. Furthermore, the four who had already died had been active in the provincial capital for nearly a week. Even if they bit just one person per day, that would amount to nearly thirty victims by now.
Finding these thirty people isn't difficult—the victims bitten by the vampires will show symptoms such as fever and mental instability. To prevent their exposure, the vampires will surely secretly detain them until they themselves become vampires. "Quiet now," he said in a steady voice, "call the best detectives and police dogs. We must locate those people they've been holding."
Shu, the policewoman, nodded. "This won't take long at all—we won't need twelve days. If everything goes smoothly, we should have results by morning tomorrow!"
He furrowed his brow and called out, "Shasha, I have a question for you!"
A white figure flashed by, and then the seasoned officer Isabella appeared before him, speaking, "I know what you're going to ask. The people bitten cannot be saved—their blood contains a toxin that modern medicine simply cannot explain. If left untreated, they will continue to feed on others; if confined, they will eventually dry up and become skeletons due to insufficient fresh blood supply." There was little choice now—once the bitten were found, they would have to be dealt with on the spot to eliminate any future threat. "I still have one question," he added. "Are vampires truly less capable than the bloodline?" He asked this because he felt that it took the three women a considerable amount of time to defeat just four vampires, suggesting their strength wasn't as frail as the legends claimed. If it weren't for two cultivators and one expert, but instead a team of police officers had been sent, the officers would surely have suffered heavy casualties.
The beautiful officer gave a vague answer: "This is actually hard to say. It's true that vampires often fall short of the bloodline in many aspects, but it's also true that the bloodline has many areas where they fall behind vampires as well!" In terms of lifespan, vampires simply can't compete with the bloodline. However, when it comes to adaptability and survival, the bloodline proves less flexible than vampires. It's said that even the most accomplished vampires have been able to hold their own against high-level bloodline members—though ultimately, due to their limited lifespans, they still ended up being outmatched. Isabella remarked, "It's said that ordinary vampires can continuously enhance their abilities through certain means, eventually becoming true masters!" "Sasha, I think we ought to investigate why vampires have been increasingly migrating to China and what their real objectives are."
"He looked up at the crystal chandelier and said, 'If their only goal is simply to grow their membership, there's no need to go to such lengths—I'm certain they have some hidden secrets!' Leader He gently patted Román on the shoulder and smiled, saying, 'Now we can go hunting vampires all over the country. That's a truly meaningful mission—would you like to join?' 'Of course,' the beautiful manager expressed great enthusiasm, as such a task during peacetime is something many people dream of. Suddenly, Qin, the young executive, frowned and said, 'You keep running around like this—what about my company? Don't forget your salary. I've never cut a single penny, nor have I missed the five million bonus you received last time. Are you treating your job and your boss this way?' The beautiful manager immediately drooped, complaining, 'It's like Yang Bao-lao hadn't had time to celebrate before Huang Shi-ren came knocking to collect his debts. How unfortunate is my life!' "
"Shu, the officer, began pleading on her behalf: 'Xiao Feng, just let Manman go. Our special team would truly be short-handed without her!'
'Exactly, boss. You just hire an assistant for me, and we'll both be fine.'"
