Anling Police Station, office.

Although it was the May Day holiday, Zhang Biao did not give himself a break.

At this moment, he was grateful he had not taken the time off.

He received calls from Xia Qingqing and the Lincang Police. His hand clutching the thermos cup stiffened involuntarily, his heart seemed to clutch at his throat, and his breathing became somewhat unsteady.

Because, Lin Chuan was risking his life to rescue 12 people, and the outcome was still unknown.

The 12 people were important, but so was Lin Chuan.

Zhang Biao let out a heavy sigh.

With such a serious issue at hand, he had to report to Elder Zhong immediately.

‘Beep, beep, beep—’

“Elder Zhong, I’m Zhang Biao, Police Chief of Anling City. I have an urgent matter to report,” said Zhang Biao, straightening his back and speaking formally.

“Mhm, go ahead,” came the steady voice of Elder Zhong from the phone.

“Elder Zhong, during the May Day holiday, Lin Chuan and two officers from Anling Police Station traveled to Yundian. Today, upon arriving in Lincang, Lin Chuan suddenly learned that one of his readers had been lured into a fraud gang and decided to go for a rescue. At the moment, Lin Chuan is on his way to carry out the rescue, and we don’t know the outcome yet. Furthermore, I have already made active contact with the Lincang Police and am in the process of discussing rescue measures.”

Having said his piece, Zhang Biao awaited Zhong Chengming’s response with bated breath.

“Hmm?”

Elder Zhong suddenly hummed thoughtfully.

Zhang Biao immediately swallowed, feeling his heart skip a beat again.

There was silence on the phone for about three seconds before Elder Zhong slowly spoke, “I was not mistaken about him, Lin Chuan is a young man with a sense of justice.”

“Yes, he has a strong sense of justice,” Zhang Biao immediately concurred.

“The fraud gang that has appeared in the Lincang area is likely made up of smugglers from the Myanmar area. If Lin Chuan has fallen into the factory area there, that will be troublesome,” Elder Zhong said with a lowered voice.

Hiss!

For a moment, Zhang Biao could only think about Lin Chuan’s safety.

When Elder Zhong mentioned this level of concern, he instantly drew in a sharp breath.

If Lin Chuan was forced into the factories in the Myanmar area to engage in fraudulent activities…

Then it would be like “a tiger entering the forest, a dragon returning to the sea” for him!

There were two reasons for this.

First, Lin Chuan had an extensive knowledge of fraud techniques and hacker skills.

Second, Lin Chuan’s studio was currently cooperating with the police and mainly developing anti-fraud apps; he had a wealth of information at his disposal.

If Lin Chuan was utilized by the fraud factories, then both Anling and Han River would fall into the shadow of fraud.

Although no one had really witnessed Lin Chuan using fraud techniques, Zhang Biao knew the ins and outs of the development of the anti-fraud app and was deeply aware that Lin Chuan’s fraud skills were highly sophisticated.

As they say, when one cleans up, they lose three points, but when they turn to the dark side, they are ten times stronger.

What a terrifying thing it would be if the king of fraud plus a top-level hacker turned to crime!

“I will contact the Lincang Police immediately; we must protect Lin Chuan,” Zhang Biao said, taking a deep breath and speaking earnestly.

“I will contact the Yundian Police Department myself.”

Elder Zhong’s voice sounded like deep thunder, booming in Zhang Biao’s ear, each word carrying an undeniable authority.

Zhang Biao showed a look of relief.

With Elder Zhong personally intervening, it was settled!

Although Lin Chuan was a potential criminal risk, he was also Anling’s high-tech talent, and naturally, Zhang Biao wished for him to be safe and sound.

Elder Zhong wished for the same.

A phone call was made from Han River to Yundian.

About two minutes later, an armed squad of the People’s Armed Police in Lincang City set off urgently.

…

County Road 1768.

From Stone Cliff Bay to Ten Mile Corridor.

Two medium-sized trucks made their way along the serpentine road, moving slowly, barely noticeable among the traffic.

On the driver’s seat of the truck up front, a burly man said, “Sister Mei, with these 12 piglets this time, that’s going to be a hefty sum!”

Next to him, a gaudily dressed woman let out a cold smirk, “Wei, don’t just look at the short term. These piglets will help us create even more value. Among them, there are three top students.”

Known as ‘Sister Mei,’ this woman was Old Bai’s online girlfriend.

A sneer appeared on Wei’s face: “Top students? I think they’re just three dumb pigs.”

“If they’re dumb pigs, then so are you,” Sister Mei chuckled in response.

Wei laughed, “I’m not mindless like them.”

“Mindless?”

Sister Mei’s lips curled up as she laughed coquettishly, “Men, ah, have upper and lower thinking areas. When they think with the lower half, the upper half loses its ability to think, and the lower half takes absolute control.”

“So, those three top students are dumb pigs who think with the lower half!” Wei burst out laughing.

Indeed.

These three ‘top students’ were the ones romantically involved online with Sister Mei, lured step by step into the sweet trap she had set.

Suddenly.

The burly man Wei frowned, as a black sports motorcycle appeared in his rearview mirror.

There were two people on the sports bike, both wearing helmets.

The driver seemed to be a tall girl, wearing a light-colored dress with no knee protectors, her long legs unmistakably exposed.

The passenger was a man, casually dressed, clinging tightly to the girl’s waist.

At first glance, they resembled a couple of bike enthusiasts.

These two were none other than Lin Chuan and Shen Qianqian.

“Dammit!”

Wei cursed under his breath.

“What’s wrong?” Sister Mei turned to look at Wei and asked.

“Some brat is showing off his biker girlfriend in front of me,” Wei scoffed coldly.

Sister Mei leaned to look through Wei’s side mirror at Lin Chuan and Shen Qianqian, assuming they were just ordinary passersby: “Don’t make trouble, the factory’s got plenty of women.”

“It’s no fun, they’re all like dead pigs,” said Wei with a malicious grin. “If I could get someone half as good as you, Sister Mei, I’d be satisfied.”

“Oh, Wei, you dare to lust after me?”

“Sister Mei, I didn’t mean it like that.”

“What if I told you that you could?”

“Sister Mei, you’re the boss’s woman; I wouldn’t dare entertain the thought.”

“What if I said you could entertain it?”

“Sister Mei… I…”

“Shut up and drive properly.”

Sister Mei let out a charming chuckle, which had already bewitched Wei.

Inside her heart, she sneered – this is a man who thinks with what’s below the waist.

In the compartment of the vehicle behind her.

Old Bai’s face was ashen; he was deceived step by step by Sister Mei, falling into his current predicament.

At this moment, Old Bai was bound hand and foot, with his mouth sealed by black tape, leaving no room for resistance.

In the same part of the truck’s compartment, two others received the same treatment.

They were the ‘highly talented students’ Sister Mei had mentioned.

After realizing they had been duped, they fiercely resisted, trying to escape, but being in a remote location made it impossible, and thus several strong men were closely guarding them.

The remaining nine ‘piglets’ were in a compartment of the following truck.

Unlike Old Bai and his companions, these nine people came from various places, boarding Sister Mei’s truck with dreams of making a fortune.

Dreaming of going out there, earning big money, making a fortune.

Little did they know that what awaited them wasn’t paradise but hell.

In the truck’s compartment.

‘Damn, there really is online dating fraud,’ Old Bai thought to himself, ‘Old Lin, if you’ve seen the message I sent, please remember to call the police and save me!’

That time, he went on an outing with Sister Mei.

Under Sister Mei’s repeated coquettish persuasion, he followed her suggestion, traveling from Dali to Lincang.

Throughout the journey, he increasingly felt that something was off, as several strong men successively approached them, but Sister Mei didn’t show any sign of fear.

Old Bai was shocked in his heart, realizing that he might have been tricked.

But at such a critical moment, calling the police would result in being silenced immediately, and sending a direct call for help could provoke the criminals to make a move against him.

He had seen the propaganda about fraud.

Old Bai immediately thought of Lin Chuan, who was also in Yundian, and sent a message in his usual tone, ‘Mr. Lin, this is all because of you.’

After he sent out this message, the strong man beside him immediately snatched his phone, subdued him, and checked the just-sent message, making sure nothing was leaked before turning it off.

He had no chance to resist.

Because he was lured to a secluded corner, no one witnessed his ordeal.

As for why he was lured into such a secluded place, it was simply because Sister Mei had shyly said, “There are too many people here; let’s go somewhere less crowded, I’ll listen to you.”

There’s a saying, isn’t there?

——Hell if I know what I’m doing, but my little brother wants me to choose her!

Now.

Old Bai could only hope that Lin Chuan, after seeing the message, would ‘get’ the hidden meaning and then call the police.

This was his last glimmer of hope.

However, having waited a very long time, the rescue hadn’t arrived yet, and all he could hear outside the compartment was the continuous roar of motorcycles.

In the cab of the truck marked Yunnan SK1804.

Wei looked into the rearview mirror, frowning in confusion, “Sister Mei, why has this motorcycle been following us?”

“What’s going on?”

Sister Mei instantly became alert.

“I outsped him just now, but he caught up again. Damn it, he’s asking for it!” Wei cursed angrily.

“Don’t rush, let’s see what’s happening first,” Sister Mei said.

Sister Mei furrowed her brows as she observed the black motorcycle in the rearview mirror.

“He’s provoking me!” Wei was very unstable-tempered.

“Don’t cause trouble; he has already passed us,” Sister Mei advised, being far calmer. At such a critical moment, she didn’t want to stir up trouble.

Wei snorted coldly, “Kid, don’t let me catch you, or else I’ll thrash you hundreds of times with one hand!”

Then at the next intersection, he turned the steering wheel, entering a rugged country lane.

This road was the one leading to their ‘boss’s meeting point.

Suddenly.

At a bend in the country road, Wei’s truck came to an abrupt halt.

On both sides of the rural road were lush trees and weeds, the afternoon sun slanted in, casting shadows on the road, and not far in front of Wei’s truck, a black motorcycle blocked their path in the middle of the road.

Lin Chuan and Shen Qianqian had disappeared without a trace.

“Sister Mei, what’s going on?”

Someone from the following truck stuck their head out of the window and shouted.

“Someone’s blocking the road,” Wei replied, then turned to Sister Mei, “Sister Mei, what do we do now?”

“Are these two people targeting us?” Sister Mei asked with a frown.

“Police?” Wei was startled.

“Doesn’t seem like it,” Sister Mei shook her head again, having previously noticed that Lin Chuan and Shen Qianqian, with their ordinary attire, didn’t look like police officers.

“Then they’re just looking for trouble? What should we do?” Wei asked.

“Send two guys down to move the bike, and if those two people don’t know what’s good for them, throw them into the pig cage as well,” Sister Mei said after thinking for a moment.

She was very familiar with this area; it was remote with very few passing vehicles. If two ‘pigs’ disappeared here, no one would find out it was her doing.

Two strong men got out of the vehicle, ready to move the motorcycle.

“Hey, what are you doing with my bike?”

At that moment, a voice came from behind the two trucks.

The speaker was none other than Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan walked out leisurely, in a white T-shirt and casual trousers, with a faint smile on his face and piercing eyes, staring intently at the two trucks in front of him.

“Was it you blocking us?” one of the strong men asked with a stern face.

“Yes.”

Lin Chuan’s mouth curved up slightly as he stood in the middle of the country road, facing the fraud gang without any hint of fear.

Xia Qingqing had sent word that they had fully confirmed that this group of fraudsters were external personnel from the factory, responsible for recruiting people. They were not equipped with firearms.

As long as there were no guns, even if 13 strong men and 2 women were equipped with iron rods and knives, Lin Chuan was confident that he could handle them.

Assassin Lin, online!

“Kid, I’d advise you not to make trouble for nothing,” Wei said.

At this time, Wei and Sister Mei came down from the truck, staring fixedly at Lin Chuan.

A hint of a cold smile appeared on Lin Chuan’s face, “You duped my true fan, and you think you can just walk away like that?”
