County Road 1768.
Two police cars blared through the dense forest, the roaring sound of their engines like the growls of wild beasts, the siren echoes in the woods, and from a distance, the flashing lights resembled speeding meteors.
Inside the police car.
Lincang Criminal Police Brigade Captain Guo Ming, around thirty-five years old, with a lean face and a few strands of white hair among the black, had a solemn expression as he listened to an officer’s report.
“Currently, based on intelligence provided by Anling Cyber Police Xia Qingqing, the fraud gang comprises 13 men and 2 women, plus 12 victims, in two medium-sized trucks…”
“Anling’s cyber police technology is quite impressive, to be able to dig up all this information,” Captain Guo nodded, then asked, “Additionally, about the Anling Police’s rush to rescue those two comrades, what’s the situation?”
The car was somewhat shaky.
The officer answered, “One of them is a police officer from Anling Police Station who specializes in fraud prevention, named Shen Qianqian, who was transferred from the Criminal Police Brigade not long ago. The other is not a police officer, but rather a web novel writer named Lin Chuan.”
Guo Ming’s eyebrows immediately furrowed, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, “You just said, the other person… Lin Chuan, is not a police officer?”
“That’s right, he is a web novel writer.”
“A web novel writer…” Guo’s face momentarily froze, his brow furrowing even more, “Isn’t that just asking for trouble?”
The officer didn’t speak.
He had the same thought in his mind.
It wasn’t prejudice against web novel writers, but rather that the fraud gang was well-organized and ruthless, quite different from typical criminal cases.
What could a web novel writer do at a rescue scene?
It would be dangerous for anyone to go, possibly resulting in harm, not only failing to rescue others but also getting themselves in trouble.
“What’s the motivation behind the writer’s actions?” Guo Ming pondered and asked another question.
“It’s said that one of his readers was deceived into joining the fraud gang. Worried that we might not arrive in time, he went ahead to delay them, to win time for the rescue,” the officer reported truthfully.
Lincang Criminal Police Brigade Captain Guo Ming slowly exhaled, “He’s a good writer, I hope he can hold off the fraud gang while ensuring his own safety.”
‘Ring, ring, ring——’
At that moment, Guo Ming’s phone rang.
“Chief, this is Guo Ming, currently on a chase after a criminal gang, ready for instructions,” Guo Ming said upon answering the call.
On the other end of the phone.
The stern voice of the chief came through, “Guo Ming, your most important task right now is to ensure Lin Chuan’s personal safety! Lin Chuan is the web novel writer!”
Guo Ming was startled.
The most important task is to ensure Lin Chuan’s personal safety?
“Understood? Act immediately, get to Lin Chuan before he encounters the fraud gang!” the Lincang Police Station chief added.
“Understood!”
Guo Ming responded immediately, turned to instruct the driver to speed up.
The two police cars on the winding County Road 1768 suddenly accelerated, with their sirens echoing through the mountains.
“Chief, about the writer’s identity…” Guo Ming, puzzled, couldn’t help but ask.
“Don’t ask what you shouldn’t,” the chief responded, “Just make sure to keep him safe and bring him back to Lincang in one piece!”
Guo Ming’s face turned stern, “Received!”
Not only the Criminal Police Brigade, but the armed police squad following closely behind also received the order:
To rescue Lin Chuan and escort him.
Furthermore, they were specifically instructed to shoot to kill if the fraud gang made any move that could endanger Lin Chuan’s life!
At this time.
Lincang Criminal Police Brigade Captain Guo Ming’s brow was deeply furrowed.
The task assigned by the chief was undeniably difficult, due to the low predictability of the situation.
If the chief had ordered him to catch the fraud gang at any cost, he would dare to pledge his word, to capture them all without exception.
But to ensure Lin Chuan’s safety… with Lin Chuan already ahead to rescue his reader, he might already have encountered the fraud gang.
Once encountered, it would all be uncertain.
Guo Ming could only place his hopes on Shen Qianqian.
He hoped… Shen Qianqian would be able to keep Lin Chuan safe!
Police from the Lincang Criminal Police Brigade sped past Stone Cliff Bay, through the Ten Mile Corridor, and onto a winding rural road that was seldom traveled.
The rural road twisted and turned, but the speed of the Criminal Police Brigade did not decrease as they rushed forward at top speed.
Lush trees sped by outside the police car windows.
The siren echoed through the forest.
Apart from the sirens, the occasional plaintive cries of birds made Guo Ming’s heart wrench, revealing a certain urgency on his face.
The police car took a sharp turn, and then came to an immediate halt!
“Captain Guo, they’re ahead!”
The officer driving the car reported immediately.
In Guo Ming’s hand was a clenched service pistol, his expression grave and vigilant as he prepared to rush out of the car and immediately rescue Lin Chuan.
But!
The scene through the car window confused him.
Ahead, a dozen people crouched at the side of the road with their heads in their hands. Nearby lay a pile of iron rods and knives, while in front of them stood a man and a woman.
The man wore a white T-shirt and casual pants, with short hair and a handsome face.
The woman was in a light-colored dress, tall and sweet-looking.
This man and woman… resembled the photos sent by Anling City Cyber Police Xia Qingqing perfectly.
Lin Chuan, Shen Qianqian!?
Guo Ming was stunned, “What’s going on???”
The officers in the car were all bewildered, exchanging glances. What was happening?
The officer in charge of the patrol video was also bewildered.
Looking at the situation… it seemed like the problem had already been solved?
For a moment.
Lincang Criminal Police Brigade Captain Guo Ming’s emotions shifted from heart-wrenching and anxious to surprised, puzzled, and perplexed.
