Chapter 104: Chapter 103: He is the Absolute King!
The rural road, about five meters wide, twisted through lush green trees, with weeds growing wild on the sides, mixed with small rocks and dust, naturally blanketed with fallen leaves and dead branches.
A cool breeze blew, carrying the rustling sound of dancing leaves, and the weeds on the ground swayed in the wind.
Every once in a while, one could hear the chirping of birds returning to their nests.
Beyond that, there was nothing else.
Very few vehicles traveled on this country road, and even fewer people; it was like a half-abandoned path.
Lin Chuan was walking in the middle of this road.
Next to him was Shen Qianqian, dressed in a light white skirt, with a stern and cold face, her eyes exuding vigilance and gravity.
In front of them were two medium-sized trucks.
Aboard the trucks.
More than a dozen burly men poured out, brandishing iron rods or knives, their menacing presence converging as they approached Lin Chuan and Shen Qianqian from both sides.
Leading them were Sister Mei and Wei, looking at Lin Chuan with unfriendly eyes.
Ready to make a move at any moment.
“Lin Chuan, the moment they charge over, you run back, just lead a few of them away, and I’ll cover you. The Lincang Police will arrive soon.”
Shen Qianqian watched the group of more than ten people across from her with burning eyes, while glancing at Lin Chuan out of the corner of her eye.
Not long ago, she was a criminal policeman, trained in fighting, and could at least hold her own against this fraud gang for a while.
But she was somewhat worried about Lin Chuan.
Lin Chuan usually sat in front of a computer typing; although he had been working out frequently, she wasn’t sure how effective it would be.
Self-defense… should be possible, right?
Lin Chuan gazed straight ahead and glanced at the opposing lineup with a smile, replying, “No problem.”
“Be careful.”
Shen Qianqian still advised with some concern.
At this moment.
The approaching Sister Mei asked with a very cold voice, “Who is your real fan?”
“You’re Old Bai’s online girlfriend, right?”
Lin Chuan looked calm, gave Sister Mei a glance, and asked with a smile.
On Lin Chuan’s face, Sister Mei could not see the slightest panic or nervousness; on the contrary, what she saw was composed confidence, and even a bit of recklessness.
This caused Sister Mei’s brows to slightly furrow, a hint of doubt arising in her heart: “Are you here to rescue him?”
In the middle of the road.
Lin Chuan nodded and chuckled, “You guessed half right.”
“And the other half?”
Lin Chuan smiled again, “That would be you all, of course!”
“You little brat, I don’t mind adding a couple more pigs to the sty,” said Wei next to Sister Mei, his face changing as he narrowed his eyes and spoke coldly.
The more than ten burly men behind him tightened their grip on their weapons.
The situation was on a knife-edge!
Lin Chuan laughed, completely ignoring Wei, and shouted towards the truck, “Old Bai, I told you not to rush into online dating; now do you believe me?”
Inside the truck cabin.
Old Bai was still wondering why they had stopped when he suddenly heard Lin Chuan’s shout; his eyes snapped open.
Old Lin came to save me!
Wuu wuu wuu—
But his mouth was sealed with tape, and he could only make ‘wuu wuu wuu—’ noises.
The truck cabin was also locked from the outside, preventing him from rushing to meet Lin Chuan; all he could do was bang against the cabin, producing thumping sounds in response to Lin Chuan.
Lin Chuan heard Old Bai’s response and laughed, “Good, looks like he’s still in one piece.”
“You’re worried about him, but you might want to worry about yourself first!” Sister Mei’s eyes narrowed, “Move in!”
The opposite side consisted only of two people, a man and a woman.
The man was about 1.8 meters tall, slim, and seemed to lack combat ability.
The woman was 1.7 meters, with a sweet appearance, seemingly non-threatening.
But experience told her that in the current situation, they had to act fast.
Delay could mean trouble!
“Hold on!”
Shen Qianqian shouted angrily, holding a ‘gun’ in her right hand and revealing her police badge with her left, “I am a police officer from the Anti-Fraud Center in Anling City, Han River Province. You are now suspected of a criminal offense, drop your weapons, hands on your heads, and squat down!”
A cop?!
A gun?!
The entire fraud gang faltered, their footsteps halting as their faces instinctively showed panic.
Sister Mei’s expression changed: “A cop?”
At this time.
Shen Qianqian’s face was cold, her gaze intense as she fixed it on the fraud gang and shouted again, “Drop your weapons, hands on your heads, and squat down!”
Sister Mei and Wei exchanged glances, their brows tightly knitted.
At that moment, Wei stared intently at Shen Qianqian and her gun: “Girl, that’s a toy gun you’re holding, impersonating a police officer; who are you trying to scare?”
Shen Qianqian’s heart tightened, and a hint of panic flashed in her eyes.
She was no fake cop.
But the gun she was holding was indeed a toy.
When they set off, she passed a toy store while riding her motorcycle, and Lin Chuan urgently had her stop, dashed into the store, and quickly emerged with two guns.
The guns, in appearance, were similar to real firearms but lacked lethal force.
“Girl, you’re pretty brave to try this stunt in front of me. Do you know who we are?” Wei said with a cocky grin on his face.
They dealt in the trade of fraud, able to bait and hook people with just a few words.
And now, Wei believed he had seen through Shen Qianqian’s ruse.
Once the fraud gang heard Wei’s words, their expressions changed again; they tightened their hold on their weapons, preparing to charge at Lin Chuan and Shen Qianqian.
Shen Qianqian’s breathing became rapid, her own heartbeat almost audible to her.
What to do?
She had no more than a second to think and forced herself to calm down, whispering, “Lin Chuan, you go first; I’ll hold them off!”
“No need to run.”
Lin Chuan patted her back, assuring her there was no need to be nervous.
Shen Qianqian’s expression was one of surprise, not understanding what was happening.
But.
Lin Chuan did not retreat but instead calmly took two steps forward, his smile growing wider, “You say this gun is fake?”
