17. Xia Lie's Game

```

The night wind quietly weaved through the surroundings, carrying a whiff of blood, causing the flames of the torches outside the estate to flicker slightly.

Inside the courtyard, a slightly emaciated young man stood in front of a house. Under the pale moonlight, it was evident that his body was covered in fresh blood, with his face also stained with blood.

From this angle, only Baili Fengzhi and Vice Commander Chu could see inside the courtyard.

To ordinary people, this faint light might not reveal much, but the two of them saw everything clearly and recognized the young man at once—he was Xia Lie who had vanished three months ago!

Xia Lie's figure appeared slightly unsteady as he walked to the front courtyard door, lifting a hand weakly and beckoning to Baili Fengzhi, "Commander Baili, come over here to the courtyard door."

"Sir?" Vice Commander Chu couldn't help but look towards Baili Fengzhi.
