Chapter 336: Female Psychopaths Are More Terrifying Than Male Psychopaths

The outskirts of Bincheng City.

Police cars screeched to a halt at the entrance to an underground facility.

Xiao Yu stepped out of the vehicle, nodded at Zhao Changshan and Zhou Tinghu, then turned his gaze toward the entrance of the underground warehouse.

This area housed a series of underground storage facilities.

Over forty years ago, it had been an air-raid shelter. Later, it was abandoned and repurposed into underground storage.

As the police force arrived, the two security guards stationed at the warehouse entrance were dumbfounded.

“Did a red sedan just drive in?” Guo Qiang asked coldly as he approached the guards.

“Y-yes!” One of the security guards stammered, visibly panicked.

“Show us the registration records and the identity of the driver,” Guo Qiang demanded.

The security guard hastily retrieved the logbook and a document detailing the warehouse owner’s information.

Li Shuangcheng, male, 43 years old…

The moment the detectives saw the name, their expressions darkened.

Li Shuangcheng was the middle-aged man who the woman in red had murdered three years ago. And yet, for the past three years, someone had been renting a warehouse under the name of a dead man?

“Let’s move,” Xiao Yu ordered, turning back toward the police vehicles.

The security barrier lifted, allowing a convoy of police cars to enter the underground complex.

The facility was vast.

They drove for a full five minutes before stopping outside a storage corridor.

Everyone disembarked. Zhao Changshan was about to lead the team inside without hesitation.

“Captain, you and the chief should stay outside,” Xiao Yu intervened.

He had seen the footage of the woman in red’s past murders. She was far from an ordinary woman.

Zhao Changshan was already middle-aged, and Zhou Tinghu was only a few years from retirement. The two of them were the pillars of the Criminal Investigation Brigade. If anything happened to them, no one could bear the consequences.

It was enough for Xiao Yu to lead the team inside.

“Alright,” Zhao Changshan chuckled, not protesting.

He was well aware of Xiao Yu’s skills. With him in charge, there was no cause for concern.

The four-man team entered the passage.

Xiao Yu, Guo Qiang, Li Xin, and Liu Hongqiao had worked together in the past. They knew each other well and coordinated seamlessly.

There was no need to bring more people to apprehend a single woman.

Following the security guard’s registration details, Xiao Yu led the team to a warehouse door.

A towering two-meter-high iron gate loomed before them.

Xiao Yu signaled to his team, then drew his firearm. The three detectives followed suit, disabling their safety locks.

One by one, he activated the system skills…

Xiao Yu eyed the heavy iron door and gestured once more.

The team collectively took a deep breath and stepped back two paces.

One, two… three!

The four of them charged at the iron door.

With a thunderous crash, the massive iron door burst open from the force of their impact. The internal bolts snapped clean off.

Guo Qiang and the others gawked at the shattered bolts in stunned silence.

A single thought surfaced in their minds: Did we just do that?

They had no idea that Xiao Yu, empowered by his monstrous strength, was stronger than all three of them combined.

Rushing into the warehouse, they found nothing but an empty room—except for a smaller door further inside.

Without hesitation, Xiao Yu bolted forward.

He had no time to waste. There was no telling what state Feng Xiuyun was in.

Xiao Yu’s shoulder rammed into the smaller iron door.

Under the incredulous gazes of the three veteran detectives, the iron door was sent flying, slamming into the ground as Xiao Yu surged inside.

The moment he entered, an overwhelming sense of danger struck him.

It was a feeling akin to a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, fangs bared, waiting to strike.

Without a second thought, Xiao Yu twisted his body, swinging his arm instinctively. Instead of firing, he used his pistol as an improvised weapon, smashing it against something midair.

Metal clashed against metal as sparks flew.

In the dim light, Xiao Yu caught a glimpse of a scarlet figure.

The woman in red!

But his inhuman strength transferred through the impact, knocking both the knife and his assailant’s arm away.

Without pause, he surged forward. He slammed his elbow into her lower ribs.

A sharp inhale—no scream, just a pained gasp.

Xiao Yu immediately withdrew.

She was wielding two knives. The second blade streaked toward his chest and abdomen.

‘Impressive,’ Xiao Yu thought as he retreated, slightly surprised.

He hadn’t expected a woman to possess such combat skills. Her skills were on par with any seasoned fighter. Her strength was astonishing. Even surpassing that of an average man.

In the darkness, an ordinary person would have been silently killed.

Xiao Yu braced himself, preparing to subdue her.

When suddenly—

“Do you want her to die?” a chilling female voice rang out.

Xiao Yu froze mid-movement.

Snap!*

The room was flooded with blinding light. His vision, enhanced by his Falcon’s Eyes skill, struggled to adjust.

Instinctively, he raised his arm, aiming his pistol toward the source of the voice.

As his eyes refocused, the sight before him made him tense. It was a small room, barely twenty square meters. The woman in red stood two meters away, one hand on the light switch. The other hand held a knife pressed against Feng Xiuyun’s neck.

“Don’t move.”

Guo Qiang and the others raised their weapons at the woman in red.

No, more precisely— at Yu Anan.

Feng Xiuyun lay unconscious.

Her body was bare, her eyes, mouth, and limbs bound with black tape. She was spread out in a large ‘X’ shape on a wooden bed. Beside the walls were various objects: a baseball bat, metal rods, a hacksaw, and a device meant for tormenting women.

Xiao Yu’s eyes darkened as realization struck.

The entire crime scene pieced together in his mind.

Rape and torture weren’t crimes exclusive to men. Women could be just as cruel.

“I didn’t expect you to find me so soon,” Yu Anan murmured, tilting her red hat upward to reveal her twisted, sinister face.

“Neither did I,” Xiao Yu replied coldly. Lowering his gun, he holstered it and stared at her. “So your so-called suicide was a lie. You even fooled my eyes.”

“Heh… that’s just because you’re an idiot.” Yu Anan sneered, her expression triumphant. “You never expected me to mutilate myself, did you?”

“No. I really didn’t expect it,” Xiao Yu admitted, his lips curling into a strange smile. “Because when a woman becomes perverted, she’s far more terrifying than any man.”
