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

Shen Qianqian was stunned.

Xia Qingqing was also bewildered.

The two women looked at each other, both seeing the confusion and bafflement in the other's eyes.

Just now, did Xinxin say that Lin Chuan caught an assassin?

Wait a minute!

Shen Qianqian's eyes widened, "Xinxin, is the assassin named Croney?"

"Yes, Lin Chuan had a hard time capturing him," Zhang Xinxin nodded in response.

"Good, I'll notify the police station right away and rush over."

Shen Qianqian swallowed hard, her heart pounding with shock.

Croney, the top assassin who had crossed paths with her teacher, the King of Killers?

Was it him?

Or, was it just someone with the same name?

At the same time, she shuddered with after-fear.

Whether the Croney mentioned by Lin Chuan was the same Croney her teacher had mentioned wasn't crucial; what was crucial was that Lin Chuan had just been attacked by an assassin!

Shen Qianqian and Xia Qingqing's hearts were beating wildly.

They notified the police station as fast as they could, and then, they left the house and hurried to Lin Chuan's home.

...

Let's rewind to this afternoon.

Yu Qin's operation against Lin Chuan caused quite a stir.

Spies located near the Network Security Company witnessed almost the entire incident unfold, piecing together the information to form a complete picture. Read the latest on empire

——Yu Qin had been duped by Lin Chuan.

This news spread rapidly.

Not only within the Morgan Group but Lucas learned about it almost immediately. Moreover, in Southeast Asia, the Baisheng Group in the Myanmar area had been keeping a close eye on Lin Chuan, and they also received the news promptly.

In a bustling corner of Anling City.

A secret underground casino.

The place seemed cut off from the outside world, with thick curtains blocking the sunlight, and only a few dim chandeliers lit inside, a heavy tobacco smell pervading the air, creating a sense of gloom and chill, an inexplicably oppressive atmosphere.

The Baisheng Group's regional manager for the Han River area, Big Tiger.

He sat in a high-backed leather chair, with an expensive cashmere coat draped over the back, a cigar sandwiched between his fingers. With a light tap, a bit of ash fell into a silver ashtray.

Before him stood his capable assistant, Xiaoyang.

Who was reporting the situation with Yu Qin.

As Big Tiger listened, he furrowed his brows, and after Xiaoyang finished, he murmured, "Yu Qin is really too impulsive."

The assistant, Xiaoyang, was thin and seemed shrewd.

He said, "Brother Hu, this incident has made a huge disturbance, alarming many forces, we..."

He trailed off, giving Big Tiger space to think.

Big Tiger had long been planning for this.

For this purpose, he had flown directly to Anling to take over the underground casino set up by the Baisheng Group with the aim of capturing Lin Chuan alive.

Lin Chuan, the person named by the highest echelons of the Baisheng Group.

Also, Big Tiger knew this person was his brother's nemesis, the man tied to the demise of the Old Street Factory District!

Regardless of the reason, Big Tiger had to get his hands on Lin Chuan.

But Yu Qin's action had been too rash, disrupting his plan set for New Year's Day.

After this 'attack,' Lin Chuan would surely be even more cautious, and the chances of capturing him in the future would be lower.

What Big Tiger feared most was that the police might protect Lin Chuan 24 hours a day.

Then his opportunity would become very slim.

A person's revenge should be swift.

Even if he was to avenge his brother, he could wait like a composed old hunter, lurking aside, patiently waiting for the prey to walk into the trap he had set.

But the Baisheng Group couldn't wait.

He had made a military pledge.

——Only one month's time.

If he couldn't get Lin Chuan in a month, he would face punishment from the group.

Big Tiger took a puff of his cigar, exhaled a ring of smoke, then stubbed the cigar hard into the ashtray, a fierce light flashing in his eyes, "Yu Qin, this woman, claiming to be the number one military supplier in the Middle East, turns out to be such an impulsive fool, messing up my plan!"

He had dealt with Yu Qin before.

The Baisheng Group's recent military weapons procurement had been negotiated with Yu.

Yu Qin had demanded a high price.

This also spurred the Baisheng Group to consider transitioning to military weapons dealers, seeking to acquire military weapons manufacturing technology.

Their sights were set on the increasingly prominent Lin Chuan.

Thinking over this, Big Tiger slammed his hand on the office desk with a cold snort and turned his gaze to Xiaoyang, "Where's Lin Chuan now?"

Xiaoyang immediately answered, "After Yu Qin was arrested, he followed the police car, if procedure is followed, he should be making a statement now."

Big Tiger took a deep breath, calming himself down, "Lin Chuan will be even more careful from now on."

Xiaoyang nodded.

The office fell silent.

The bright sunshine failed to penetrate this damp and dark place, the dim light casting distinct shadows on Big Tiger's face, his expression harsh and somewhat intimidating.

"Do you have any good ideas?"

Suddenly!

Big Tiger's gaze shot towards Xiaoyang.

Xiaoyang quickly shrank back, "I... I don't know."

"You don't know?"

Big Tiger's gaze sharpened, "You're usually so clever, why can't you come up with anything now?"

Xiaoyang looked dejected.

True to his name, he clammed up in front of Big Tiger.

But after being pressed by Big Tiger repeatedly, he attempted to voice an idea, somewhat falteringly, "Boss, I think that acting today... might have a different effect."

"Have you lost your mind?"

Big Tiger propped himself on the armchair, rising to question Xiaoyang.

Xiaoyang quickly stepped back, shrinking his neck, saying without confidence, "I'm just speculating wildly, the final decision is still up to Brother Hu!"

Big Tiger gave Xiaoyang a cold look, "You're lucky to come up with such an idea for today's operation."
