More than ten minutes later, armed patrol vehicles drove into the lakeside park. After inspecting the area, they confiscated all firearms and equipment left at the scene and loaded the bodies onto trailers. A police officer came to the Captain leading the team, saluted, and said, "Captain Qian, after investigation, all the deceased at the scene were armed thugs." Captain Qian nodded and asked calmly, "Has their identity been verified?" "Preliminary identification indicates they are a group of hired mercenaries who sneaked in from out of town. The leader is called Suo Pingtou, who has a criminal record. According to our records, his entire gang is here, none missing." Captain Qian sighed, "Young people are truly formidable. Captain Nian is very fortunate." He then instructed, "Remember to process the items and leave a copy for Captain Nian's team as well." The police officer immediately acknowledged. "Is everything processed? If so, let's head back." "Yes." Several minutes later, the armed patrol vehicles drove away, leaving only a lake and reed marshes shrouded in the night. On the other side, Chen Chuan had already returned to the Training Hall on Xiuyi Street. When he entered, the Security guard didn't sense anything unusual about him and greeted him with a smile, remarking that he was back early today. Upstairs, he placed the Snow Emperor Blade on the sword rack and made a call to Gao Ming , but didn't say anything, just let it ring a few times before hanging up. However, only a few minutes passed before the phone rang. He picked it up, and it was Nian Fuli's voice: "Little Chuan , were you attacked by armed men?" When leaving the park, Chen Chuan had called the Patrol Bureau. He knew that Nian Fuli , as a Captain , would definitely know about this, and he didn't intend to hide it. Sёarᴄh the NôvelFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Yes, these people were after me, uncle . There might be some trouble recently, and I need some time to handle it." Nian Fuli said solemnly, "I understand, Little Chuan . Remember, you are a member of the Patrol Bureau." Chen Chuan nodded, "I know, uncle ." In the Patrol Bureau office, Nian Fuli hung up the phone. After thinking for a moment, he took a document, signed it, and instructed the police officer on duty outside, "Call Xiao Wu in." After a while, a young and capable police officer came to the office, saluted, "Master." Nian Fuli handed the document to Xiao Wu and instructed, "Transfer a team from the bureau to Quanzhou District. The instructions are written above. The local bureau will cooperate with you." "Yes!" Xiao Wu stepped forward, took the document, saluted again, and left the office, closing the door behind him. At the Training Hall, Gao Ming immediately came to meet Chen Chuan after receiving Chen Chuan's call. Chen Chuan first poured Gao Ming a cup of tea before saying, "I was attacked just now, but I've already taken care of it. The Patrol Bureau should already be dealing with it at the scene." Gao Ming asked for details and said, "No problem. In Yangzhi City, openly carrying firearms, ordinary citizens automatically have the right to kill bandits. The Patrol Bureau also…" Chen Chuan said, "Then what follows is…" Gao Ming pushed up his glasses and said, "Yes, since these bandits couldn't handle you, cousin, they will either try again unwillingly, or send people with a higher level of force, believing that you, cousin, have no way to resist, and try to eliminate you before you can hide. But this is also our opportunity, because such experts cannot be without a background and connections. Whether they are captured alive or killed, it will lead to subsequent events." Chen Chuan continued, "So after this, it's…" "Yes, the key lies in…" Chen Chuan slowly nodded. Even if the situation differs from their predictions, it doesn't matter. He and Gao Ming had prepared several plans, responding according to different situations. The Mutual Aid Society wanted to control the situation, and he was also controlling the situation, trying to guide it in the direction he wanted. Just an hour later, the news that the armed bandits had failed to attack Chen Chuan and that all of them had been killed reached Shao Xiaobie . Upon hearing the news, he kicked over his desk and cursed the incompetence of these hired thugs. He paced around the office, muttering curses. He had previously taken on this matter, patting his chest and saying that he could handle it, but now he had screwed it up and alerted the target. After pacing for a while, he sat down, called the butler in charge of specific affairs, and said with a grim face, "Can we send more people? Not those shoddy ones, but those who can actually get things done!" The butler knew his temper and patiently said, "Young master, Suo Pingtou's group rarely fails. This time, their elimination is either an accident or the target's strength exceeds expectations. I've seen the target's files, and it's possible we underestimated him beforehand." Shao Xiaobie was impatient and waved his hand, "Don't talk about this nonsense now. Find someone for me, find someone to take care of this matter!" The butler said, "Young master, this is difficult. Suo Pingtou and his men have cooperated with us several times and can be trusted. Others might take the money and not do anything. Recently, the Patrol Bureau has been investigating strictly, so we need to wait for a while to find someone to take over this matter." "Then offer a high price? Aren't you afraid no one will take it if you offer a high price?" The butler explained, "News in this circle spreads quickly. With Suo Pingtou's failure, others will become cautious even if they are willing to take the job, and they will probably wait to see if you will continue to raise the price. They will all wait and see, so this cannot be done in a short time." Actually, there were some things he couldn't say. These armed groups were not good people. If you raised the price, they would immediately see that you were in a hurry, and then they would wonder if you would continue to raise it. They would all wait and see, so this couldn't be done in a short time. "How long do I have to wait?" "From sending the message to accepting the order, it will take ten days to half a month." "That's too late! I can't wait! School is about to start." Shao Xiaobie couldn't wait that long. Once school started, Chen Chuan would be living at the Academy. Chen Chuan clearly had the support of the school administration, otherwise how could he have done those things? There was no way to take action at the school. Moreover, once school started, Chen Chuan might apply to take the defense certificate, and he might even take it with Wei Jun , which would be embarrassing. "If young master is in a hurry," the butler said, "we can only use local people." "No, we absolutely cannot use local people!" Shao Xiaobie refused on the spot. Using local people was very likely to lead to him. If others were okay, he might have to take the blame, do good deeds for others, and suffer himself. He wasn't that stupid. Suddenly, he thought of something, slapped the table, and pointed with his finger, "That's right, his family. If we can't deal with him, we'll deal with his family first!" The butler said, "Young master, this student was raised by his uncle and aunt. His uncle , Nian Fuli , is a Captain in the Patrol Bureau. The family members all live in the Patrol Bureau family area. Young master, please be cautious." "Damn it!" Shao Xiaobie cursed again, knowing there was no hope. The Patrol Bureau was very united, and because of its own nature, all family members lived in the Patrol Bureau family area and had specialized armed personnel for protection. Not to mention that outsiders couldn't get in at all, even if they did, once things got out of hand, the entire Patrol Bureau would riot, which he couldn't handle. The butler said, "Young master, we don't necessarily have to come forward ourselves to use local people, and we don't have to do anything, so it won't involve young master." Shao Xiaobie sat up straight, "How so?" The butler said, "In addition to this student's files and records, I also had someone inquire. Recently, this student had a conflict with the Bloodstain Gang. Zhuo Bao , one of the five claws of the Bloodstain Gang, should have had one of his hands cut off by him, and he even used this as a reason to sue him. The matter hasn't ended yet. We can leak his whereabouts in the south of the city to Zhuo Bao ." Shao Xiaobie was skeptical, "The Bloodstain Gang? Aren't they fighting with the Iron Chain Gang right now? Do they have time to deal with this? Besides, will Zhuo Bao listen to you? Will he go if you tell him to go?" The butler said, "Zhuo Bao is a madman. His spirit is very unstable, but he's extremely vengeful and always remembers those who have harmed him, especially losing a hand. He now has a new hand implant, and the anti-mutation drug he's using is provided by us. This time, we can add something to Zhuo Bao's medication and combine it with some psychological suggestions. He won't be able to resist. With the Bloodstain Gang's manpower and weapons, a surprise attack might succeed. Even if he fails, the Bloodstain Gang will lose face and won't let it go, and it has nothing to do with us." "Good idea." Shao Xiaobie liked this kind of thing where he didn't have to do anything himself, just incite others to do it, and if the Bloodstain Gang really intervened, then the previous actions could also be pushed onto the Bloodstain Gang. "Let's do it this way. I don't care how you do it, I just want to see results as soon as possible." The butler respectfully nodded, "Young master, then I'll go out first." "Go, go." The butler's arrangements were very efficient. A day later, Zhuo Bao received some information about Chen Chuan , and someone sent him a photo of Xiuyi Street, indicating that Chen Chuan lived there. He was very sensitive to the name Chen Chuan . He lost an arm because of this person, which made him a laughingstock in the gang, saying that he had been defeated by a first-year Wuyi student and was getting worse and worse. He might as well give up his position to his younger brother. Although he had now replaced it with an implanted arm, which seemed stronger than the original, this thorn was always in his heart. This time, after taking the newly delivered anti-mutation drug, he felt like there was a flame burning inside his body. The name repeatedly stimulated his nerves and impacted his rationality. With a bang, the glass was crushed by his implanted hand, and the surrounding underlings looked at him nervously. Zhuo Bao looked up and found himself sitting in a bar. He frowned, when did he come here? What was he doing before? He couldn't remember, and it didn't matter. He stood up, his voice filled with coldness, "Follow me." The surrounding underlings stood up one after another. They had been inexplicably called over by Zhuo Bao , and then they watched him drink one cup after another. They knew that their boss's temper was more violent than before since he lost a hand, and they didn't dare to ask any more questions, so they could only stay by his side. After Zhuo Bao entered the car, the burly head also sat in, and after closing the door: "Boss, where to?" Zhuo Bao rubbed the corners of his forehead, and said with a gloomy expression: "No. 17, Xiuyi Street, call the brothers to get the hard stuff." The head felt tight in his heart. The meaning of hard stuff is to carry a gun, but this is in the city... But he didn't dare to disobey Zhuo Bao's order. The reason why he could stay by Zhuo Bao's side for so long was because he did whatever Zhuo Bao said, without any discount. "Understood, boss, I'll have the brothers get the hard stuff." 1shukuzhuzhudaobixiawx bixia
