"I'm here for Xiao Rui," Aunt Zhou barged into Lin Chuan's room, as if ready to catch him red-handed. Last night, Zhou Rui didn't return ho the entire night. At first, when called, she made excuses about being at work, but later, no one answered her phone. This made Aunt Zhou suspect that Zhou Rui might have gotten involved with Lin Chuan, considering how young people these days don't practice restraint, and with Lin Chuan becoming more impressive, it's possible they might have already slept together.
So, Aunt Zhou ca over early in the morning to catch them in the act. However, to her disappointnt, she didn't find any sign of Zhou Rui upon entering Lin Chuan's room.
"Where is Zhou Rui?" Aunt Zhou asked, puzzled.
"How would I know?" Lin Chuan scratched his head, saying, "At this ti, shouldn't Xiao Rui be resting at ho?"
"She didn't co ho all night," Aunt Zhou huffed, "Young people these days really don't know self-respect. Where could she have gone, staying out all night?"
"Ah?" A foreboding feeling suddenly surfaced in Lin Chuan's mind. He hurriedly asked, "Xiao Rui didn't co ho all night?"
"Yes," Aunt Zhou nodded, "That's why I ca here looking for her. I thought..."
"You thought she slept with ?" Lin Chuan asked.
"Hmm," Aunt Zhou imdiately nodded, "Exactly."
"Aunt Zhou, go back first, I and the guys will help you find Xiao Rui," Lin Chuan smiled, "Don't worry, I will definitely find her."
"Alright then, you have more people, help look for her," Aunt Zhou nodded and as she was leaving, she said, "Lin Chuan, our Xiao Rui is a good girl, she usually wouldn't stay out all night, so don't think too much. I think she's a perfect match for you... take a look, consider Xiao Rui…"
True to her role as the community leader, she never forgets to play matchmaker, especially for her own niece.
"Yes, yes, yes," Lin Chuan nodded awkwardly, then said, "I...I'll consider it, don't worry."
Having finally sent Aunt Zhou off, Lin Chuan quickly tried to call Zhou Rui, only to find that her phone was turned off. With no other choice, Lin Chuan imdiately called Zhou Kai. The guy was groggily asleep and jumped up upon receiving Lin Chuan's call.
"Chuanzi bro, what's up?" Zhou Kai hurriedly asked.
"Zhou Rui is missing," Lin Chuan hurriedly asked, "Who was on duty under her office yesterday?"
"Li Qiang and Liu Cheng," Zhou Kai imdiately replied.
"Hurry up, get everyone together, I'll be waiting for them in the office," Lin Chuan said urgently.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Chuan imdiately drove to the transport market. Even on the weekend, the transport market was bustling, and the repair shop entrance was crowded with transport vehicles of all sizes coming for maintenance. With so many vehicles, the two old n could hardly cope, but fortunately, Uncle Liu and Uncle Liang had several apprentices to help out, making things much easier for them.
Lin Chuan went to Zhou Rui's office.
The cellphone was on the desk, already out of power and turned off. Lin Chuan cautiously looked around the office and imdiately noticed sothing amiss. The baseball bat that Zhou Rui carried for self-defense was thrown at the corner of the wall and even smashed a flowerpot. Seeing this, Lin Chuan imdiately had a bad feeling.
"Chuanzi bro, what's up?" Li Qiang hurriedly ran over.
"Yesterday, did you and Liu Cheng leave before Zhou Rui finished work?" Lin Chuan interrogated.
"Ah!" Li Qiang faltered, awkwardly admitting, "Indeed. Little Chili told us to leave first, so..."
"Damn it," Lin Chuan's face changed color, "Pull up the security footage, start from after you left."
Soon, the footage was accessed, and as soon as Li Qiang saw that soone entered Feixiang Transport Company right after he and Liu Cheng left, both were imdiately panic-stricken, "It's my fault, all my fault, if I hadn't left, this wouldn't have happened."
Just then, a young brother hurriedly ca, saying, "Big bro, Xiao Liu was knocked out last night. He said soone forcibly entered Mr. Zhou's office yesterday."
"Who did it." Lin Chuan's expression was displeased.
"Could it be the Northeast Tiger?" Zhou Kai hurriedly asked.
"Not sure," Lin Chuan shook his head, "If they kidnapped Zhou Rui, they must be looking for . So I'll just wait for their call then."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than Lin Chuan's phone imdiately rang.
"Hello," Lin Chuan quickly answered.
"Lin Chuan, rember ?" from the other end of the line, a voice familiar yet foreign.
"Are you Long Wu?" Lin Chuan squinted.
"Heh, smart guy." Long Wu nodded, "That's right, it's . And the person you're looking for is with ."
"What do you want?" Lin Chuan asked calmly, unusually composed without any anger.
"Co to my office alone for a talk," Long Wu said carelessly. "Don't bring anyone with you, just co by yourself."
"Alright," Lin Chuan nodded and said, "I'll co alone, I definitely won't bring anyone. But, if anything happens to Zhou Rui, I will make you regret it for the rest of your life."
"Haha, don't worry," Long Wu laughed loudly and said, "I definitely won't let anything happen to her. She is my cash cow after all."
Lin Chuan hung up the phone without any hesitation.
Lu Dapao barked angrily, "Brother Chuan, damn it, let's go and take them down now. Bastard, Long Wu dares to kidnap our hot pepper, I won't let him off."
"Don't rush," Lin Chuan waved his hand and said, "Long Wu asked to co alone, you guys don't ss around. Zhou Rui is still in their hands, let's try to adhere to his demands."
"Are we just going to submit like this?" Lu Dapao asked.
"Of course not," Lin Chuan sneered, "This is just an appeasent strategy, once we get our bearings, Long Wu is dead this ti."
Kidnapping Zhou Rui, that's just treading ol' Feng Taibao's path. Lin Chuan decided he wouldn't allow anyone who threatens his loved ones to exist. Although Zhou Rui is not his real sister, they grew up together like siblings.
"Sure," Lu Dapao nodded and said, "After we rescue Zhou Rui, I'm definitely dislocating Long Wu's arms."
"I'm gonna knock his head off and use it as a night pot," Zhou Kai cursed angrily.
The gang was filled with righteous indignation. There are rules in the underworld about not harming each other's families. That's the way of the streets; break the rule, and you can never mix in these circles again. Wasn't Feng Taibao powerful? Because he broke this rule, he was blasted out of Jiangbei City by Lin Chuan and has been wandering without a place since. What is Long Wu? He was just a lapdog under Feng Taibao's wing.
That very morning, Lin Chuan imdiately drove to Moonlight Bar.
Moonlight Bar is now Long Wu's headquarters; nowadays, this guy spends his days guarding a few bars. Although his days are not bad, human desires are never satisfied, always greedy. It's because of this that, in a mont of rashness, he kidnapped Zhou Rui.
In the early morning, the bar's door was tightly closed. A large amount of garbage still to be cleared at the door indicated that last night was another bustling night. Among the piles of foul-slling garbage, most were worthless bottles, and so used condoms oozing liquid.
Lin Chuan's car stopped in front of the door.
The two n in black suits at the door imdiately bowed and, pinching their coat corners, said: "Boss, Lin Chuan is here."
"Open the door and let him in," Long Wu's voice reached his ears.
Lin Chuan shook the dust off his body, a murderous aura on his face.
Upon receiving the order, the two underlings imdiately pulled open the bar's large door: "Lin Chuan, please co in."
Lin Chuan didn't speak but walked straight in. After he entered, the door was imdiately shut and locked from the outside. Lin Chuan flashed a disdainful smile - those from Long Wu were simply not enough to pose any threat to him.
Lin Chuan walked in slowly.
The door closed, and the windows all around were also tightly shut. There was no light inside, and it was very dim. Only so light spilled through the gaps in the curtains; other than that, there was almost no light coming in.
The vast bar was sowhat ssy, with a broken shoe still in the dance floor. Everywhere was in disarray, the sofa and seats were all a ss. From this, one could tell how wild it must have been last night.
Just as Lin Chuan was surveying the surroundings, suddenly, dozens of people surged from the periter and surrounded him tightly.
A mont later, Long Wu slowly walked down from the second-floor staircase.
"Lin Chuan, didn't expect this, huh?" Long Wu's lips curled up into a nacing smile.
"Long Wu, I advise you to release Zhou Rui honestly," Lin Chuan frowned and said. "I'll give you a chance. If you release Zhou Rui now, I can let bygones be bygones."
"Hahaha!" Long Wu, hands behind his back, looked up and laughed heartily. He was dressed in a white Tang suit, wearing a pair of old Beijing cloth shoes. After he finished laughing, he disdainfully said, "Lin Chuan, you better understand your situation. Yet, you still dare to be so arrogant?!"
"What's there to fear?" Lin Chuan scoffed, "Do you think just these n are enough to deal with ?"
"Maybe they aren't, but how about this?" Long Wu sneered.
As he spoke, Long Wu flicked a silver revolver out of his sleeve. The handgun was small, almost pocket-sized. Although Lin Chuan did not know where this gun ca from, based on its appearance, it should be a workshop product. It was crudely made, and there were no serial numbers on the gun case.
"Ridiculous," Lin Chuan scoffed.
"What do you an, boy?" Long Wu said coldly.
"It's laughable because only the ignorant can be so naïve," Lin Chuan laughed.
"Fuck, don't push ," Long Wu raised the gun and clicked off the safety catch, roaring, "Damn it, you brat, always so arrogant. You snatched away my transport market, kicked Protector out of Jiangbei City, I admit you're tough, but no matter how tough you are, can you be tougher than my gun?"
