Chapter 161 Book 4 Chasing Away the Darkness
Xian Town had flourished under Li An's quiet guidance, evolving into a prosperous haven where merchants thrived and noble families sought rare commodities. However, prosperity often attracted shadows, and the archives of the town hall revealed an unsettling truth—crime festered in the darkness.

Li An knew that if she wished to curb crime, she had to first banish the darkness that provided these criminals a veil to operate under. After she witnessed those two students from the police academy, she knew that the plan to put up a police department in the town would be effective.
But that would still take time before it would show its effect. So, she needs to prioritize another matter.
