Chapter 1029 - 1026: Looking for Someone
Half a month later, Lin Chuan was released without notifying any friends or family and was directly taken onto a plane by Engles, heading straight for the capital of the United Kingdom, London.
Her Majesty the Queen personally went to the airport to greet Lin Chuan and threw a lavish banquet to entertain him.
Lin Chuan was naturally immensely grateful for the Queen's warm hospitality.
After the banquet, the Queen called Lin Chuan into a room.
There was no one else in the room, just the Queen and Lin Chuan. The Queen looked somewhat melancholic, her face full of worries.
"Your Majesty, it seems like you have something you need my help with?" Lin Chuan spoke bluntly.
The Queen opened her mouth, wanting to say something but refrained from doing so.
Lin Chuan continued, "Your Majesty, as I've said before, as long as you ask, I am willing to go through fire and water to accomplish what you require."
The Queen sighed lightly and said, "Lin Chuan, I indeed need your help. Do you know about the disappearance of my daughter?"
Lin Chuan shook his head; he had truly never heard about it.
The Queen appeared very sorrowful and said, "Two years ago, my youngest daughter, Elizabeth Manler, mysteriously disappeared in Dubai. Our country's best agents have investigated for two whole years, and although there are some leads, they still haven't found her."
"I understand what Your Majesty means. Rest assured, this matter is in my hands. I will definitely bring your daughter back," Lin Chuan said after a moment of silence, looking at the Queen with firm eyes.
The Queen's face was full of gratitude as she held Lin Chuan's hands, saying excitedly, "Thank you, Lin Chuan."
Lin Chuan replied, "Your Majesty, you shouldn't say that. It's I who should thank you. If not for you, I'd still be locked up in prison right now."
The Queen smiled faintly and said, "Lin Chuan, you are now a British citizen. I have already contacted Military Intelligence Six on your behalf. You are now a Royal Agent of the British Empire. Anywhere in the world with a British consulate, you will have their full support for anything you need."
Lin Chuan listened, feeling a bit lightheaded. It seemed the Queen had arranged everything long ago.
"Your Majesty, could you arrange for me to meet the agent in charge of this matter first?" Lin Chuan asked.
The Queen said, "Don't worry, she'll be here soon."
After a few minutes, a knock on the door was heard, and the Queen said, "Come in."
The door opened, and a person walked in—a woman.
This woman looked about the same age as Lin Chuan, with flowing golden hair and a beige suit, exuding the elegance of a British beauty.
Particularly her impressive figure, she was the goddess in every man's heart, with perfectly straight and slender legs, extremely alluring.
"Lin Chuan, let me introduce you. This is Helen, the most outstanding agent of Military Intelligence Six, and she's in charge of this case," the Queen stood up and introduced to Lin Chuan with a smile.
Lin Chuan was slightly taken aback, not expecting such a beautiful woman to be investigating; he quickly stood up, extending his hand, just about to speak, Helen extended her hand first, smiling gracefully, "Lin Chuan, you are the world's number one renowned figure, I hope we'll have pleasant cooperation."
Lin Chuan gently shook Helen's hand, which felt soft, smooth, and yet bony to the touch—a uniquely comfortable sensation.
"Hehe." With Helen covering the topic so thoroughly, Lin Chuan didn't know what else to say and could only chuckle to play it off.
Sitting back down, Helen seemed very interested as she stared at Lin Chuan, making him feel a bit embarrassed, turning his head to look elsewhere.
The Queen said, "Lin Chuan, the details will be explained to you by Helen. As for China, do not worry; I have already spoken with Minister Li. You can focus on bringing my daughter back safely."
Lin Chuan nodded; with the Queen's arrangements, he had nothing more to say.
The Queen got up, saying, "You two can talk; I have an important meeting to attend, so I'll take my leave first. Oh, and Lin Chuan, stay at the Royal Palace today."
Lin Chuan hurriedly stood up as well, saying, "Your Majesty, no need to trouble yourself, I have my accommodations."
After the Queen left, Helen went on to tell Lin Chuan the investigation results from the past two years in detail.
It turned out that two years ago, the Queen's youngest daughter went to Dubai for a trip and was staying at the most famous hotel, the Dubai Grand Hotel. Yet, overnight, the Queen's youngest daughter mysteriously vanished.
The following morning, the accompanying staff thought she had gone out for some fun and didn't pay much attention. But by evening, when there was still no sign of her, the staff panicked and rushed to call the Queen of the United Kingdom.
The Queen panicked in the UK, too, and directly called the President of Dubai.
Upon hearing the mysterious disappearance of the British royal family's little princess in his country, the President of Dubai was shocked but did not dare to disclose this news. If such news were leaked, Dubai—a country reliant on tourism—would suffer severe consequences.
There was no other way, so the President of Dubai had to contact the Minister of the National Security Action Force, secretly dispatching many agents to track down the whereabouts of the little princess. However, after many days of investigation, not a single clue was found.
To quickly find her daughter, the Queen sent Helen from Military Intelligence Six to Dubai for the investigation. When Helen arrived in Dubai, after almost two months of investigation, she finally found a clue.
On the night the Queen's youngest daughter disappeared, someone saw a person coming out of the Queen's daughter's room, and the person who saw even accidentally bumped into the person emerging from the room. According to the witness, the person was a woman with black eyes and black hair, quite obviously Asian. The most important detail was that the witness said the Asian woman had a tattoo on her arm, though the exact design was unclear.
Helen started her investigation from this clue, pursuing it continuously for two years, but to no avail.
After listening to Helen's account, Lin Chuan fell into deep thought. There were two major doubts surrounding the case. First, the disappearance of the Queen's youngest daughter, based on Helen's account, seemed to be a kidnapping. Yet two years had passed without a single phone call from the other party, which was quite strange. Second, the Queen's daughter was traveling abroad, accompanied by many protective personnel, yet none of them noticed anything unusual. That was a bit too odd as well.
Seeing Lin Chuan staying silent for a long time, Helen flicked her golden hair, shifting her sexy legs wrapped in black stockings beneath her short skirt into a different position. Lin Chuan noticed this scene, and his heart skipped a beat.
To judge a woman's beauty, one first looks at her legs.
Helen's legs were not only straight and long but also incredibly beautiful. Lin Chuan had never seen such beautiful legs. As a mature man, it was no wonder his heart fluttered.
Helen seemingly felt Lin Chuan watching her, whether intentionally or not, she changed the position of her legs again, simultaneously pulling her skirt a bit.
Lin Chuan quickly averted his gaze, coughed twice to cover his awkwardness, and said, "Can you show me the photo of the Queen's daughter?"
"Sure." Helen took a picture from the documents she carried and handed it to Lin Chuan.
Lin Chuan took it. The girl in the photo looked pure and cute, smiling sweetly, appearing to be around seventeen or eighteen, and indeed bore some resemblance to the Queen.
"Can you tell me if the person who provided the clue can still be found?" Lin Chuan asked, looking up at Helen.
Helen replied, "Should be possible, but you'll have to go to Holland."
"Okay." Lin Chuan acknowledged as he stood up and said, "Let's leave it here today. I have some other things to take care of. How can I contact Miss Helen?"
Helen handed over a business card and said, "You can reach me by calling the number on the card."
Leaving the royal premises, Lin Chuan wandered alone on the streets of London. The city's landscape was full of high-rise buildings styled with European architecture and abundant shops, all showcasing the international metropolis's prosperity.
Lin Chuan felt his pockets, realizing he didn't have much money left. Thinking for a moment, he took out his phone to call Zhou Kai.
"Kai, it's Lin Chuan," Lin Chuan said after the call connected.
Zhou Kai, who was far away in Japan, was overjoyed to receive Lin Chuan's call and exclaimed, "Brother Chuan, where are you?"
Lin Chuan smiled and said, "I'm in London, UK. Quickly send some money to my account I gave you, and don't tell anyone about my situation in London for now."
"Okay, Brother Chuan, give me the account, and I'll transfer the money right away," Zhou Kai said.
Lin Chuan hung up the call and texted the account number to Zhou Kai.
The Queen had arranged for him to come to the UK. Although he could have asked for an abundant amount of money, he didn't want to. Having just been released from prison, he had no choice but to contact Zhou Kai.
He reached the center of the square, where a crowd gathered to watch a down-and-out artist making sketches. Lin Chuan stopped with interest to watch.
"Hi, Lin Chuan." Someone patted him on the shoulder suddenly, and Lin Chuan turned around to see Mu Bai.
...
After Emory and Myles were dismantled by Lin Chuan and his team, Taozi led Myles's former crew, living through hard times. The men left by Emory, led by Mark, had essentially taken over all of the red-light districts.
Previously, Myles's men mainly lived off money from women in the flesh trade and collecting protection fees. But with Mark's arrival, they didn't dare to emerge anymore.
If Lin Chuan and Zhou Kai were around, they could handle Mark and his crew. Without them, Taozi's men couldn't match up to Mark's.
They needed to devise a plan to avoid the American branch of the Jvyi Gang collapsing so soon, or they'd really be letting down the boss and Zhou Kai's expectations. Taozi decided to head to Jiangbei City, the Jvyi Gang's headquarters—Sichuan University Group.
Two days later, Taozi arrived in Jiangbei City, having already called Li Qiang and Huang Bo.
At the airport, Taozi immediately spotted Li Qiang and Huang Bo.
Seeing Taozi, the two warmly embraced him. After exchanging a few pleasantries, they got into a car and went straight to Sichuan University Group.
Seeing the towering office building of Sichuan University Group, over ten stories high, Taozi's mouth dropped open wide enough to fit two eggs. He hadn't expected Jvyi Gang to have such strength.
