Chapter 1047 - 1044: Interrogation
Lin Chuan is always unpredictable; who else could do something like this besides Lin Chuan?
Since Lin Chuan can attract the attention of the U.S. Secretary of Commerce, Nancy, towards the Hengchuan Group, he must have gotten away. Thinking of this, Tang Yumeng's heart surged with excitement; she couldn't wait to see Lin Chuan.
At this moment, Lin Chuan was in the Washington District police station.
CIA Director Everson told him that Mark, whom he was looking for, had gotten into some trouble and was detained at the police station.
Mark is associated with the disappearance of Her Majesty's youngest daughter, Manler. Lin Chuan promised the Queen that he must question Mark about a few things.
Police Chief Slyx personally met with Lin Chuan. Slyx always held a sense of curiosity towards Lin Chuan, and Lin Chuan was equally curious about this police chief, whom he had only met twice. Few people knew about his identity as a Dark Soldier, but this chief did.
"Lin Chuan, we meet again," Slyx said warmly, extending his hand with a smile.
Lin Chuan also smiled and said, "Yes, we meet again."
After shaking hands, Slyx invited Lin Chuan to sit down and said meaningfully, "Lin Chuan, you've been quite impressive lately, not only sweeping through the Sanhe Gang but also gaining support from the top."
Lin Chuan understood that Slyx referred to the top as CIA Director Everson. With a slight smile, he said, "Chief, clearing out the Sanhe Gang was for avenging my injured brothers. As for the so-called support from the top, I don't see it that way; they are just using me."
"Is that so, Lin Chuan?" Slyx's face showed a mysterious smile as he said, "I know there are a lot of things you can't tell me, but I do know some of the circumstances."
"Heh heh," Lin Chuan didn't say much, just chuckled a couple of times.
Slyx continued, "Alright then, enough talk. I'll take you to see Mark."
In the police station's holding room, Lin Chuan looked through the observation hole above the door at Mark inside.
Mark was lying on the bed in the holding room, whether genuinely asleep or pretending.
After observing for a good five or six minutes, Lin Chuan signaled for Chief Slyx to open the holding room door. Slyx gestured slightly to the police officer guarding the holding room door, and the officer took out a key to unlock it.
The moment the door of the holding room sounded, Mark instantly jumped up from the bed. When he saw Lin Chuan entering, his expression was momentarily startled.
Concerning the disappearance of Her Majesty's youngest daughter, Lin Chuan did not want too many people to know about it, so he arranged with Chief Slyx beforehand that he would talk to Mark alone.
Upon entering the holding room, the guard immediately closed the door. Mark's expression froze for a few seconds before he sat back on the bed, no longer looking at Lin Chuan.
Lin Chuan walked up to Mark and coldly said, "Mark, do you remember me?"
Mark glanced at Lin Chuan from the corner of his eye, said nothing, and turned his head away, ignoring Lin Chuan.
Lin Chuan's lips curled into a cold smile as he continued, "Mark, you'd better cooperate and answer my questions, or you won't like the consequences."
Mark turned back again, his eyes too glinting with a hint of ferocity, and said, "You damn Chinaman, you'd better shut the hell up with me."
Mark had only met Lin Chuan once, and he was still unaware of Lin Chuan's methods.
Suddenly, Lin Chuan acted. His fists flew rapidly towards Mark.
Seeing Lin Chuan move, Mark naturally wouldn't just sit there. He jumped off the bed, his body shifted sideways, dodging Lin Chuan's fists, while also kicking towards Lin Chuan.
The police officer guarding outside the holding room saw the two start fighting and hurriedly attempted to open the door.
Slyx hadn't left the front of the holding room door. He waved at the guard, signaling him not to act, and watched through the observation hole himself.
Lin Chuan's fists missed, and as his body spun around, he retreated, dodging Mark's incoming kick. Turning back, his feet moved quickly, and he closed in on Mark.
Mark was also trained, having worked previously as an agent. Before Lin Chuan could attack, Mark took the initiative and swung his right fist towards Lin Chuan's head.
Lin Chuan squatted down, executing a sweeping kick.
Mark's punch was powerful, and as it missed, his body lunged forward due to inertia. At this moment, Lin Chuan's sweeping kick landed, and it was too late for Mark to dodge. He suddenly leaped, dropping onto the bed behind him.
The bed in the holding room was a wooden structured hardwood bed. With Mark's forceful drop, the wooden planks couldn't withstand the impact. With a cracking sound, the entire wooden bed collapsed.
Before Mark could get up, Lin Chuan sprang into the air, fiercely kicking his right leg towards Mark's left leg.
Seeing Lin Chuan's right foot coming, with nowhere to escape, Mark grabbed a broken wooden plank and swung it horizontally towards Lin Chuan.
Lin Chuan didn't choose to retreat. As the wooden plank struck his body, his right foot also fiercely kicked Mark's left leg.
Thud...
Ah...
The plank wasn't that thick. Lin Chuan forcefully took a blow from Mark with the plank, and it made a cracking sound, shattering into pieces. Meanwhile, Mark was brutally kicked by Lin Chuan, and a bone-cracking sound came from between his left thigh, along with a scream of agony.
Lin Chuan's kick had actually fractured Mark's left leg.
Before Mark's screams could fade, Lin Chuan swiftly moved, quickly grabbing Mark's right hand with his own right hand, twisting it backwards. Another sound of bone dislocation followed, and Mark was in such pain that he almost fainted.
With a scream, Mark was lifted by Lin Chuan and thrown into the left corner of the wall.
Mark was in so much pain that he couldn't speak, cold sweat streaming down his face, his whole body seemed to be in a state of collapse.
"Mark, I told you earlier you wouldn't gain from this. If you answer my questions honestly, I won't torture you further. Otherwise, I'll make you taste a fate worse than death." Lin Chuan walked up to the screaming Mark, looked at him coldly, and said.
Mark, with a look of agony, looked at Lin Chuan and said, "The one who brought trouble to you is Emory. It has nothing to do with me. You've already taken care of Emory. What more do you want?"
Lin Chuan coldly responded, "That's not what I'm talking about. Where is Her Majesty the Queen's youngest daughter, Princess Manler?"
Upon hearing Lin Chuan's words, Mark's face immediately turned stiff, his eyes flickering, and he said, "How would I know."
Lin Chuan's eyes showed a chilling light that sent shivers down one's spine, staring at Mark and saying, "Mark, you better tell the truth. I wouldn't have come from the United Kingdom to find you if I didn't have evidence."
Mark, frightened by the chill emanating from Lin Chuan's eyes, dared not look at him, lowering his head in pain.
Lin Chuan said nothing more, just staring at Mark, waiting for his answer.
After a few minutes of silence, Mark finally raised his head, looked at Lin Chuan, and said, "I really don't know who did it. I was forced."
"What's going on?" Lin Chuan asked.
Mark said, "Two years ago, two women kidnapped my daughter and threatened me into doing it. I really don't know who they are. They both have a butterfly tattoo on their arms."
The butterfly tattoo made Lin Chuan's heart skip a beat, and he asked, "How did you kidnap Princess Manler?"
Mark said, "I don't know the specifics. I was just responsible for diverting the people around Manler."
Lin Chuan then asked Mark a few more questions, but he didn't gain any useful clues. So, he ignored Mark, turned around, and knocked on the detention room door.
The detention room door opened, Lin Chuan walked out, and said to Slyx, "Sheriff, please arrange to send him to the hospital. But don't release him, you understand what I mean, right?"
Slyx smiled slightly and said, "Lin Chuan, rest assured."
As a bodyguard for the British royal family colluding with outsiders to kidnap Princess Manler, Mark should face legal consequences, although not in the United States, but he should be handed over to the United Kingdom.
After leaving the police station, Lin Chuan took a taxi straight back to the Washington hotel.
Back in his hotel room, Lin Chuan took out his phone and dialed a number.
Once the call was connected, a clear woman's voice came through, "Lin Chuan, you've come out."
Lin Chuan said into the phone, "Yes, I've already gotten out."
The woman's voice on the phone sounded very happy, saying, "Lin Chuan, where are you now?"
Lin Chuan said, "I'm in Washington, Silver Fox. I want to ask you something."
The person speaking on the phone was Silver Fox. Lin Chuan was calling her to inquire about the butterfly tattoo.
Silver Fox said on the phone, "Lin Chuan, coincidentally, I'm also in Washington. Wait a bit, I'll come over to see you right away."
Having hung up the call, Lin Chuan got up, took a shower, and when he came out, Silver Fox hadn't arrived yet.
After waiting about another quarter of an hour, knocking was heard on the door. Lin Chuan got up to open it.
Standing outside was Silver Fox. Her face had slimmed considerably, and seeing Lin Chuan, her eyes filled with tears, she gently called Lin Chuan before falling into his embrace.
During the public trial, Lin Chuan's heartfelt declaration to Tang Yumeng made Silver Fox a bit disappointed. She originally wanted to leave Washington, but she couldn't let go of Lin Chuan in her heart.
She tried multiple avenues to get information about Lin Chuan, but the U.S. had the information tightly sealed, and she couldn't find anything out. She remained in Washington, and a few days ago, she also heard about the Sanhe Gang being taken down, learning it was done by Jvyi Gang.
Jvyi Gang, established single-handedly by Lin Chuan, was well-known to Silver Fox. Upon finding out the Jvyi Gang was behind the takedown of the Sanhe Gang, she immediately sent people to watch over Jvyi Gang, planning to help them in their time of need.
The people Silver Fox sent didn't recognize Lin Chuan, and she never expected that it was Lin Chuan leading the Jvyi Gang against the Sanhe Gang. Therefore, she did not know Lin Chuan had already gotten away.
