Little Landlady thought to herself, if Lin Chuan couldn’t win, then she would sneak an attack.
During these days, Lin Chuan had taught her quite a few fighting skills.
She was very talented and learned well.
Ordinary people were no match for her.
This time, perhaps she could help.
However,
she quickly reassured herself.
Before reaching the 32nd floor, she heard the conversation between Lin Chuan and Croney.
Lin Chuan’s calm tone was like telling Little Landlady that he was the victor.
"Xinxin, make a call to Shen Qianqian, she knows what to do,"
Lin Chuan saw the arrival of Little Landlady and a sincere smile appeared on his face as he spoke.
"Okay!"
Little Landlady immediately took out her phone and called Shen Qianqian.
Shen Qianqian and Xia Qingqing almost immediately rushed over upon receiving the call.
At the same time, they informed the Anling Police Station.
In the car.
Xia Qingqing’s hair wasn’t completely dry and was still messy; hearing that a top assassin had made a move on Lin Chuan made her heart suddenly panic.
Even though that assassin had now been subdued.
But what about the process?
Was he injured?
Were there any follow-ups?
It was still unknown.
"Qianqian, is that Croney really that terrifying?" Xia Qingqing felt tense after hearing Shen Qianqian’s introduction of Croney.
Shen Qianqian also felt very complicated.
Her impression of Croney came solely from her teacher, who had once held a prominent position in the International Police.
In her teacher’s description,
Croney was a lurking predator of the night, who could appear before you in any identity and deliver a fatal blow when you least expected it.
A strike meant death.
She was not only thinking but also worrying.
Had Lin Chuan dodged Croney’s strike?
Lin Chuan probably took it head-on, right?
Where was he injured?
She hoped she was just overthinking.
So thought Shen Qianqian.
Then, she replied to Xia Qingqing, trying to sound as calm as possible, "Croney is well-known in the assassin circle, hailed as the King of Killers of England. According to my teacher, many people want to hire him, but his fees are extremely high, easily millions or tens of millions."
The car sped along the streets.
The sound of the wind was incessant around them.
Xia Qingqing fell silent.
A reward of several million US dollars, equivalent to over seventy million RMB, had even brought this top assassin out.
Perhaps, Lin Chuan wouldn’t only face Croney but might also suffer more deadly attacks.
Thinking this,
Xia Qingqing pursed her lips and remained silent.
Shen Qianqian was also silent, gripping the steering wheel.
After a long moment.
She finally said, "I just heard Lin Chuan talking; he sounded very strong, probably not injured, right?"
She sounded a bit unsure when saying this.
However, there probably weren’t serious injuries; otherwise, Xinxin would have cried out long ago.
Maybe... just some scratches?
Xia Qingqing frowned, "Attacked by Croney and not only was he not injured, but he also subdued him?"
"Probably... maybe... I guess?" Shen Qianqian said, feeling somewhat doubtful.
This, seemingly, might not add up.
After all, the opponent was not just-anybody.
Any assassin, unless they were a fool, would possess a strong threat.
Especially this King of Killers of England.
Both carrying the same concern and doubt, they rushed to Linjiang Mansion, swiftly got out of the car like it was a capture operation, sprinted through the underground parking lot, and boarded the elevator.
The thirty-something seconds in the elevator felt like half a century.
Finally.
Ding!
32nd floor!
As soon as the elevator doors opened, they dashed out.
"You guys are here?"
At that moment, Lin Chuan, holding a thermos cup and just having taken a sip, saw the two policewomen and smiled.
Shen Qianqian and Xia Qingqing stared intently at Lin Chuan.
Lin Chuan was completely unharmed, with no blood visible, no limbs missing, still holding the thermos, standing by the window with the evening breeze blowing, his expression somewhat enjoying and comfortable.
Little Landlady, however, stood beside him, her face devoid of worry.
Croney?
He was bound to the burglar-proof netting in front of the window, blood at the corners of his mouth, his expression desolate. When he saw Shen Qianqian and Xia Qingqing, he merely lifted his eyes faintly and quickly lowered his eyelids again.
Was this really Croney?
Was this the King of Killers?
Shen Qianqian found it hard to believe.
Xia Qingqing didn’t believe it either.
Shen Qianqian then turned to Lin Chuan, pointing at his thermos, and asked in a daze, "You... drinking tea?"
Lin Chuan lifted the thermos, smiling, "The dinner you treated me to tonight was definitely a bit salty, so I feel quite thirsty."
Shen Qianqian frowned, then couldn’t help but half-laugh, half-cry.
If she were to swear, she would definitely say, am I asking you if tonight’s meal was salty?
But, she wouldn’t.
She gave Lin Chuan a look, "I’m asking you, at this time, you still feel like drinking tea?"
Lin Chuan finally understood, "You’ve been here for a while, and I just got thirsty, should I drink lukewarm water or some other beverage instead of tea?"
Shen Qianqian couldn’t help but roll her eyes at Lin Chuan again.
Xia Qingqing couldn’t help but burst into laughter; Lin Chuan’s irrelevant answers had dispelled much of her previous worries.
Little Landlady came out laughing, "Don’t worry, I’ve just checked him over, he’s all right."
Shen Qianqian was slightly relieved.
She walked up to Croney, looked him over carefully.
"Is he really Croney?" Shen Qianqian asked, a complex expression on her face.
"Guaranteed genuine," Lin Chuan nodded.
"So this is the King of Killers from England, doesn’t look much, does he?" Shen Qianqian frowned, unable to resist commenting.
She had never imagined that the legendary and dangerous character mentioned by her teacher during her university days would present himself before her in this way, years later.
Lin Chuan smiled, "How about this, I release him, and you try his level? Then you can judge whether he’s really Croney or not, and learn some fighting skills in the process."
Shen Qianqian quickly shook her head, "Better not, where did you subdue him?"
Lin Chuan pointed, "Right inside this elevator."
"Then I’ll adjust the surveillance, and reviewing it will show his capabilities," Shen Qianqian looked thoughtful as she glanced at the elevator.
It wasn’t just about knowing Croney’s capabilities.
Shen Qianqian was more curious about Lin Chuan’s level.
She couldn’t help looking at Lin Chuan again.
If he could subdue the King of Killers, was he greater than the King of Killers?
Shen Qianqian dared not think further.
Lin Chuan caught Shen Qianqian’s gaze and immediately understood her thoughts, "Don’t get wild ideas, I’m a law-abiding citizen, truly not the King of Killers!"
Shen Qianqian forced a smile, feeling a bit relieved.
Immediately,
She moved aside.
Making the first call, she informed Daqiang, who was on his way, about the current situation and told him Lin Chuan was safe and unharmed.
Shen Qianqian thought for a moment and scrolled down her contact list to a number named ’Teacher Zheng Ming.’
This was her university teacher, who also worked as an International Police.
"Isn’t it bad to call the teacher so late?"
"But, Croney was his lifelong nemesis; he even said back then that whoever catches Croney must notify him."
"Well, let’s call anyway. I’ve sought his advice many times after graduating. It’s only right to inform him that Croney has been caught."
Dialing...
Shen Qianqian pressed the call button.
Dial tone!
"Shen, calling so late, do you have an unsolvable case?"
The phone conveyed a voice tinged with age.
"Teacher Zheng, remember Croney?" asked Shen Qianqian.
"Croney, that fellow."
Teacher Zheng’s tone relaxed quite a bit, then chuckled, "Of course, I remember him. He only dared to act up when I was past my prime. Otherwise, at my peak, I could have taken him down in minutes!"
Shen Qianqian tugged at the corner of her mouth; she had heard this at least eight hundred times.
But she knew her teacher.
All talk!
Undeniably, Croney was a scar in his career at the International Police, irreparable.
Shen Qianqian paused, then said earnestly, "Teacher, Croney is here with me, ready to be captured and brought to justice."
"What did you say?!"
On the phone, Zheng Ming’s voice suddenly rose, full of surprise.
Shen Qianqian sulkily repeated what she had just said.
On the other side,
Zheng Ming, who had been half lying on his bed reading old books with reading glasses, appeared indifferent.
Hearing Shen Qianqian,
Croney was with Shen Qianqian, ready to be captured?
My student caught Croney?
He removed his reading glasses, sat up suddenly, and immediately said, "Tell me your location right now, I’m coming over!"
