Chapter 1037 - 1034: The Call
Zhou Kai glared at Li Huaiqiang and said coldly, "Li Huaiqiang, let me ask you, where's Xiao Feng?"
Li Huaiqiang, not knowing that Alice was Xiao Feng, looked at Zhou Kai with a pained expression and said, "Who's Xiao Feng? I don't know her."
Li Qiang lunged forward, grabbed Li Huaiqiang, and cursed, "You damn fool, are you not going to tell the truth? Do you want me to cut off your other ear as well?"
Li Huaiqiang was so scared he nearly wet his pants and hurriedly said, "Bosses, I really don't know who Xiao Feng is."
Zhou Kai said, "Stop pretending with me. Why did you hit my brother if not because of her?"
Li Huaiqiang understood and quickly said, "Oh, you're talking about Alice. I'll bring her here right away."
Lu Dapao said coldly, "Hurry up, or you'll regret making me angry."
Li Huaiqiang, clutching his bleeding right ear, stood up and made a phone call. Less than half an hour later, a guy brought Xiao Feng in.
During that half-hour, Zhou Kai had already recounted the whole incident to him.
Lin Chuan said nothing, just glared coldly at Li Huaiqiang.
Zhou Kai saw Xiao Feng and said to Li Huaiqiang, "Now, can we take her with us, or do we still need to pay you a million US dollars?"
Li Huaiqiang hurriedly said, "No, no, you can just take her."
Zhou Kai had also worked at Changlin Factory, so Xiao Feng recognized him instantly. She could guess the situation from just seeing this scene and felt a wave of excitement. She had been tricked into coming to the United States years ago, and she had thought about escaping many times over the years, but she could never succeed. She even thought about suicide a few times but never had the courage.
Lin Chuan, still glaring at Li Huaiqiang, suddenly said, "Da Pao, cripple this guy."
Lu Dapao didn't understand Lin Chuan's meaning immediately and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Brother Chuan, do you want me to snap him off?"
Lin Chuan said, "No need for that, just take off one of his legs."
Lu Dapao chuckled, "Alright." With that, he grabbed an axe, walked up to Li Huaiqiang, and without a word, pinned him to the ground, swung the axe, and removed Li Huaiqiang's entire right leg.
Li Huaiqiang screamed and passed out.
Lin Chuan said to Zhou Kai, "Call an ambulance, this guy can't die just yet."
Lu Dapao asked, "Brother Chuan, why is that?"
Lin Chuan smiled, "These are not things you need to know. I'll tell you after this is all resolved."
...
Washington District Police Station.
Chief Slyx, his brows furrowed tightly, paced back and forth in his office.
Today, within his jurisdiction, that group of Chinese who called themselves the Jvyi Gang had crippled Li Huaiqiang. He originally thought that after using these Chinese to take down Emory, peace would be restored. Unexpectedly, the situation got worse after Emory's removal.
And today, these Chinese suddenly came back and even took down Li Huaiqiang, the nephew of the Sanhe Gang leader Li Tiansheng. What on earth do these Chinese want to do, are they not afraid of the Sanhe Gang?
Deputy Chief Angliduo came in and said, "Chief, the investigation is almost complete. It's because Li Huaiqiang severely injured a leader from the Jvyi Gang, which drove them to cripple Li Huaiqiang."
Laiskes frowned and said, "Are these Chinese crazy? Don't they know Li Huaiqiang is the nephew of the Sanhe Gang leader? This is asking for trouble, do they intend to eliminate the entire Sanhe Gang?"
Angliduo said, "I think they're planning to, otherwise they wouldn't have crippled Li Huaiqiang."
Laiskes said, "If they really plan to do so, it's quite overambitious, considering the might of the Sanhe Gang is not to be underestimated, unless they have some hidden secrets."
Angliduo said, "They're just a gang. What kind of secrets could they have?"
Laiskes gave a bitter smile and said, "Maybe only God knows."
Angliduo said, "Chief, we can't just watch these Chinese mess around like this. What should we do next?"
Laiskes said, "There's no other way, we can only closely monitor these Chinese for now."
...
White House, United States.
CIA Director Everson was talking to President Omama in the Oval Office about Lin Chuan's return to Washington.
Omama frowned deeply upon hearing that Lin Chuan had returned to Washington after only being in London for a few days, and said, "Why has Lin Chuan come back to Washington? Have you figured it out yet?"
Everson said, "Not yet, but there's a woman with Lin Chuan named Helen, who is a Military Intelligence Six agent."
"An agent?!!!" Omama's face darkened, and he said, "It seems Lin Chuan's visit to Washington is definitely not simple. I need to call Queen Elizabeth immediately; she promised me. Connect me to the Queen's phone right away."
"Alright." Everson walked to the desk, picked up the phone, and dialed the Queen's personal line.
Once the call was connected, Everson handed the phone to President Omama.
Omama took the phone and exchanged a few pleasantries with Her Majesty, then directly shifted the topic to Lin Chuan: "Your Majesty, you promised me Lin Chuan cannot return to the United States after acquiring British citizenship."
Her Majesty seemed well prepared for Omama's call, saying, "Mr. President, I must apologize first. Lin Chuan is indeed handling some private matters for me in Washington; I will explain to Mr. President later."
Omama paused for a moment and said over the phone, "Your Majesty, it seems you have everything arranged already. I won't say much more, but if Lin Chuan violates our country's laws, don't blame us."
The Queen said over the phone, "Mr. President, I assure you Lin Chuan won't violate your country's laws during this visit. I can also assure Mr. President that Lin Chuan's visit to your country will be all beneficial without any harm."
"Oh," Omama asked with interest, "Your Majesty, can you explain it a bit more?"
The Queen's hearty laughter came through, and she said, "Mr. President, haven't you been worrying about the Sanhe Gang all along? Lin Chuan's visit to the United States is to help me, but it involves the Sanhe Gang. Do you understand my meaning, Mr. President?"
Omama could not miss the implication, he chuckled and said, "Alright, I understand. Thank you, Your Majesty."
After hanging up the phone, Omama's furrowed brow relaxed, and he said to Everson, "You don't have to concern yourselves with Lin Chuan anymore, CIA. Moreover, you don't need to monitor Lin Chuan's movements in the United States. Assist him if necessary."
Everson was stunned, he hadn't heard the conversation between the Queen and the President, and it took him a while to respond, "Mr. President, but, but…"
Omama said, "There's no need to ask further questions, just follow my instructions."
...
At this moment, Lin Chuan was reconnecting with Zhou Kai and others, and Helen was following along. From the bar, she had witnessed Lin Chuan rescue Zhou Kai and his group, realizing Lin Chuan was familiar with these people. She heard them call Lin Chuan 'boss,' discovering the Jvyi Gang was founded by Lin Chuan.
The presence of this man piqued Helen's curiosity, fundamentally changing her attitude towards Lin Chuan.
Zhou Kai and Lu Dapao had no knowledge of Helen's identity. Lin Chuan also didn't want them to know, only telling them that Helen was a British civil servant accompanying him for some business.
Xiao Feng learned that Huang Bo was severely injured by Li Huaiqiang's men for her sake and couldn't suppress her feelings anymore, rushing to the hospital to take care of Huang Bo.
Lin Chuan decided to incapacitate Li Huaiqiang for two reasons: one, to completely eliminate future troubles for his Jvyi Gang brothers; two, for the current mission.
With Li Huaiqiang out of the picture, the leader of the Sanhe Gang, Li Tiansheng, wouldn't stand idly by and would certainly confront Jvyi Gang, giving an opportunity to dismantle Sanhe Gang, uncover agent Lao'er, find the so-called weapons expert Will, and apprehend the number one wanted fugitive Mu Zhengqing.
After chatting with the Jvyi Gang brothers for nearly two hours, Lin Chuan told Zhou Kai to be cautious in the coming days to prevent Sanhe Gang's surprise attacks, as it was inconvenient for him to stay with them. He told Zhou Kai to call him if anything occurred.
After bidding farewell to Zhou Kai and the others, Lin Chuan and Helen returned to the pre-booked Washington Hotel.
Mu Bai was waiting for Lin Chuan in the luxurious room; as soon as Lin Chuan entered, she leapt into his arms and began to act coquettishly.
A woman, once she has developed a substantial relationship with the man she loves, will reveal her true nature, be it from acting coy, flirting, her heart will revolve around the man.
"Lin Chuan, you scoundrel, making me wait so long." Mu Bai's eyes twinkled with an attractive look, lightly tapping Lin Chuan's chest with her left hand, speaking in a coquettish manner.
Lin Chuan chuckled, pinched Mu Bai's cute face, and said, "What's wrong, are you thinking about that again? You're quite the insatiable little wildcat."
Mu Bai's face turned red, scoldingly gave Lin Chuan a sidelong glance, and said, "You scoundrel, is it I who thinks of that or you? The moment we meet, it's all about doing that stuff."
Lin Chuan laughed heartily, his right hand slid down Mu Bai's shoulder to her prominently full chest with a light touch, saying, "I'm a man, a very normal man. It's a problem not to think of that when I meet such a beauty like you."
Mu Bai was deeply embarrassed, and before she could react, Lin Chuan carried her in his arms and walked towards the bed. Mu Bai quickly struggled and said, "You smell like sweat, go wash first."
Lin Chuan grinned mischievously, "I want you to shower with me."
"Go away, you scoundrel." Mu Bai spat at Lin Chuan, got off him onto the bed, pulled the sheet over her face, and refused to look at him.
