Asked you to write a book, not to confess your criminal record!

Shen Qianqian nodded quickly, "I remember; what about it?"

"You see this picture."

Xia Qingqing picked up her phone from the bedside, flipped through her gallery, and presented a photo to Shen Qianqian.

The picture contained a bounty information.

Shen Qianqian's pupils shrank instantly. Enjoy new chapters from empire

At first glance, she thought her eyes were deceiving her. So she grabbed the phone, pinched and zoomed the screen with her thumb and index finger, and closely examined the numbers it displayed.

"Ten million US dollars!"

She furrowed her brows.

"This appeared on the 'Underworld,' supposedly a bounty on the BM website," Xia Qingqing explained.

"What is the BM website?"

Shen Qianqian had never heard of this website.

"You can think of it as an assassin website, a famous one in the dark web. It claims to gather assassins from all over the world; as long as the payment is right, no mission is impossible."

As a member of the Cyber Police and part of cybersecurity, Xia Qingqing was well-connected.

Another direction for Cyber Police was the information and intelligence system.

These two aspects were somewhat interconnected.

Hence, Xia Qingqing specifically learned about this website and had acquired quite a bit of intelligence from her colleagues.

Shen Qianqian, frowning, locked eyes with Xia Qingqing, "Is this bounty real?"

Xia Qingqing nodded slightly, "It's very likely real."

Hiss.

In the chilly winter night, the cold wind poured into the room through the half-open window, causing the curtains to flutter and Xia Qingqing's still-damp hair to lift.

Shen Qianqian gasped at the cold air, her arms covered in tiny goosebumps, feeling as though the room's temperature had dropped several degrees.

"With such a huge bounty, isn't Lin Chuan in great danger?" Shen Qianqian asked anxiously.

"With such a large amount, if I were an assassin, I would be tempted too," Xia Qingqing murmured thoughtfully, nodding.

"Qingqing, can you find out who posted this bounty?"

Shen Qianqian asked again.

Xia Qingqing shook her head, "It's impossible to find out; the bounty information on the BM website has already been taken down, it seems they've gathered the assassins already."

Shen Qianqian let out a soft sigh.

She thought, if they could find out who the bounty poster was and directly target them, it might resolve this crisis.

"Qianqian, you don't have to worry so much."

Seeing Shen Qianqian's concern, Xia Qingqing tried to comfort her.

"How can I not worry?"

By now, Shen Qianqian wasn't hiding her feelings.

Xia Qingqing pointed to the information on the picture, "Look carefully, it's for capturing alive. Think about it, Lin Chuan is very capable in solving cases, especially dealing with criminals; he even wrote 'This Assassin Is Too Professional.' Dealing with those assassins must be a piece of cake for him, right?"

Shen Qianqian was momentarily stunned, then gave a wry smile, "In 'This Assassin Is Too Professional,' he claimed to be the 'King of Killers,' but he has never been an assassin."

"If he could write about it, at least it shows he has researched it," Xia Qingqing reassured again, "I have already sent him this picture."

"What did he say?"

"He said he knows."

"What else?"

"That's it."

"That's it?" Shen Qianqian's eyes widened in confusion.

"I'm also puzzled, but it seemed like he knew about it already," Xia Qingqing pursed her lips.

"This is too childish!"

Shen Qianqian felt both worried and somewhat angry, "If those are professional and top-tier assassins, how could he possibly withstand them? Those are the real 'Kings of Killers!'"

The thugs they had encountered in the Old Street Factory District weren't considered top-tier assassins.

Shen Qianqian, as a police detective, had heard many stories about professional assassins.

During her college years,

a teacher who had once served as an International Police officer gave them special lectures on the dark web intelligence concerning assassins.

Professional assassins are no joke.

Especially those top-tier assassins who rank among the best, each with their own unique skills.

Weapons and Free Fighting are the most basic fundamentals.

Some possess extraordinarily strong surveillance and anti-surveillance abilities, skilled at infiltration, striking like a venomous snake, suddenly attacking and dealing a fatal blow to their targets.

It's said that the most elite assassins excel at planning.

They meticulously arrange assassination operations from start to finish, attending to every detail so that the assassination seems to occur naturally, often resulting in an unresolved case.

Sometimes, the deaths of targets are even deemed to be suicides.

From start to finish, the assassin never shows their face, and no one knows who the assassin is.

These individuals are known as the King of Killers.

Shen Qianqian still remembered,

Her teacher had once mentioned several names of top-tier assassins, warning them to be extremely cautious and never act alone if they encounter such cases when they become International Police.

Names like Croney, Zeuso, Bosch, and Itban.

Her teacher had personally confronted Croney and often spoke of him with palpable trepidation.

An assassin adept in Sanda and infiltration, extraordinarily gifted with firearms like pistols, submachine guns, and special firearms, holds a terrifying prestige in the underworld.

"What if Lin Chuan encounters one of those King of Killers? What will we do?"

The more Shen Qianqian thought about it, the more worried she became. If it weren't for Lin Chuan already being at home late at night, she would have dragged Xia Qingqing to find Lin Chuan immediately.

She dared not imagine how perilous it would be for Lin Chuan if he ever faced world-class assassins like Croney or Zeuso.

If it really happened, Lin Chuan might stand no chance of resisting.

"Are there really King of Killers?"

Xia Qingqing asked, frowning.

Shen Qianqian then shared some information she had learned with Xia Qingqing.

Xia Qingqing had been very confident in Lin Chuan, and after his reassurances, she wasn't too worried.

But now, as Shen Qianqian spoke,

She began to feel terribly uneasy.

The King of Killers, truly terrifying!

"Should we request 24-hour, round-the-clock protection for Lin Chuan from the department?" Xia Qingqing asked, her eyes full of concern.

Shen Qianqian nodded vigorously, "Given this situation, I'll notify the captain immediately."

Immediately, she changed her mind.

She would report directly to Director Zhang Biao!

Normally she shouldn't bypass levels in reporting, but Director Zhang Biao had specifically instructed that anything concerning Lin Chuan should be reported to him immediately.

She had just picked up her phone.

Ring Ring Ring—

The phone rang.
