Chapter 1069 - 1067: Arrest and Repatriation
Mu Zhengqing suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Country, haha, don't mention the word 'country' in front of me. What do we live for in this world if not for enjoyment?"
Lin Chuan sneered and said, "That's your thought. People should at least have a moral baseline and should not betray their own country."
Mu Zhengqing said, "What is a moral baseline? Everyone has a different view. Kid, as long as you let me go, all the money here is yours. Look, this money is enough for you to live for two lifetimes."
After speaking, he turned and walked to a cabinet, opened it, and inside was all cash, stacks of US Dollars, indeed enough for someone to live carefree for two lifetimes.
Lin Chuan's face turned serious and he said, "Sorry, I am a soldier. I won't sell my soul and country for this. Please get ready to leave with me."
Mu Zhengqing said, "Kid, I'm telling you, even if you catch me and take me back, nothing will happen to me. I have evidence of many important figures in my hands. They won't just sit by and watch me get caught."
Lin Chuan said coldly, "Do you really think they will protect you? Maybe they can't even protect themselves at the moment. It's a disgrace to the country to have people like you corrupting it. I'm done talking; if you don't cooperate, don't blame me for being rude."
Under Lin Chuan's intimidation, Mu Zhengqing obediently got dressed and was escorted out of the villa by Lin Chuan. As for the money inside the villa, it all belonged to the state, and Lin Chuan had already notified Li Xiangguo to send someone to take over.
Although Mu Zhengqing was successfully captured, he couldn't be extradited back according to normal procedures, as he was still a US citizen. For this matter, Lin Chuan went to Everson.
Everson only said one thing: "Lin Chuan, just don't forget the favor you promised me; we'll act as if nothing happened otherwise."
With Everson's words, the process of extraditing Mu Zhengqing went very smoothly, and with Everson's tacit consent, the relevant departments swiftly froze all of Mu Zhengqing's assets in the United States.
Helen returned to New York on the second day of Lin Chuan's capture of Mu Zhengqing. She brought good news: Her Majesty allowed Lin Chuan to return to China, and the nationality procedures have already been completed.
This news clearly indicates that Lin Chuan has now regained the nationality of the People's Republic of China. He can proudly set foot on his motherland's soil again, with no country stopping him.
There is still no news about Her Majesty's youngest daughter, Princess Manler, so naturally, Helen is going to Malaysia with Lin Chuan.
The weather was exceptionally good that day, with sunshine and a clear sky.
At New York City's International Airport, Mu Zhengqing, handcuffed, Lin Chuan, Li Xiangguo, Helen, and two officers from the Ministry of Public Security escorted him onto the plane back home.
After nearly ten hours of flying, the plane arrived at Beijing International Airport. As soon as he got off the plane, Lin Chuan saw a very familiar figure, none other than the old General Chen Zhenguo.
General Chen Zhenguo personally came to the airport to pick him up, which made Lin Chuan feel very grateful. He hadn't seen the old General for a long time, and there were more strands of white hair on his temples.
"General, it troubles you to come personally to the airport for me; I can't bear it." In Lin Chuan's heart, the General was like his father, and while holding his hand, Lin Chuan was moved to tears.
The General's heart was also full of mixed emotions, but he didn't show it on his face and said, "Little rascal, being sentimental with me now, are you?"
Helen, not knowing the relationship between the General and Lin Chuan, just felt this elderly person appeared very kind.
The General glanced at Helen and said softly to Lin Chuan, "Boy, this British agent is quite the looker, aren't you monopolizing her?"
Lin Chuan's face turned red, and he smiled awkwardly. Li Xiangguo, who was nearby, overheard this, whispered something into the General's ear, making him laugh heartily.
The capture of the red-notice fugitive Mu Zhengqing and his return to the country made the news on Central Television.
As for how to handle Mu Zhengqing, that's a matter for the relevant state departments, requiring many investigation and legal procedures before a final verdict can be reached.
Regarding Ma Ling, Lin Chuan also truthfully reported her situation to the General, who promised to explain the specifics to the relevant departments and strive for the fairest verdict for Ma Ling.
The General's residence.
In the spacious living room, the General sat in the main seat, with Li Xiangguo and Lin Chuan seated below. The three were drinking tea.
"Lin Chuan, capturing Mu Zhengqing is a great merit. The Chairman personally ordered to reward you. Is there anything you want?" Li Xiangguo looked at Lin Chuan and said.
Lin Chuan smiled and said, "It's what I'm supposed to do. Why reward me—let's just forget about it."
"You rascal, not being modest when you should be, and now being so serious when you shouldn't be. You've captured the top fugitive on the red notice, causing great deterrent to those criminals fleeing abroad. You must accept this reward," the General said sternly.
Lin Chuan said, "I really don't have any requests; why don't you decide, sir?"
"Nonsense," the General was slightly angry and said, "This is the country's reward to you; don't make me decide."
Lin Chuan said, "General, I really don't have any requests, besides, I haven't fulfilled a promise I made to Her Majesty, so I might be leaving the country again soon."
"Lin Chuan, the Senior General," Li Xiangguo looked at the two and said, "I think we should reward Lin Chuan as a soldier since he originally holds a military identity."
Lin Chuan was startled and said, "You guys aren't planning to promote me to Major General, are you?"
The General was amused rather than angry, and said, "You rascal, dream on. Your identity code in the Dark Soldier unit is Dark Wolf, at most a Captain, far from a Major General."
Lin Chuan giggled and said, "I'm just trying to lighten the mood with a bit of humor."
The General and Li Xiangguo couldn't help but be taken aback.
"Only a rascal like you would dare talk to a Senior General like this," Li Xiangguo said, looking at Lin Chuan.
The General said, "Kid, Old Tang has been constantly mentioning this to me recently. Is it time for you to arrange the wedding with Tang Yumeng now that you're back in the country?"
The 'Old Tang' mentioned by the General was none other than Tang Yumeng's grandfather, Tang Zhenguo.
Last time, the General led Lin Chuan to disrupt Tang Yumeng and Xie Tianyi's engagement ceremony, leaving Xie Tianyi embarrassed but winning Tang Zhenguo's favor, which amounted to tacit approval of Lin Chuan as his grandson-in-law.
On the public trial day, Lin Chuan made a verbal promise to Tang Yumeng, and now that the General mentioned it in person, he couldn't help but say, "General, marrying Yumeng is not possible at the moment. I still have to fulfill the promise I made to Her Majesty."
The General chuckled and said, "I knew you'd say that. Well, how about this: I'll decide on a day to formally set your engagement with Tang Yumeng."
The engagement the General referred to was, of course, between Lin Chuan and Tang Yumeng.
Lin Chuan originally intended to refuse further, but when he saw the General's look change slightly, he withdrew his words.
Beijing International Hotel.
Helen, having just showered, came out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel, looking seductively at Lin Chuan lying on the bed.
After leaving the General's residence, Lin Chuan's mind echoed with the General's words: "Boy, come with me to meet Old Tang the day after tomorrow. Our two families will discuss the engagement date. Don't be late."
To be honest, Lin Chuan very much wanted to be with Tang Yumeng—she was his most beloved woman. However, planning a wedding at the moment seemed a bit inappropriate for many reasons.
Helen lay beside Lin Chuan, wrapping her arms around his neck, and said softly, "Lin Chuan, what are you thinking?"
Looking at Helen's pretty face, Lin Chuan slightly shook his head and said, "Nothing."
Helen pouted, "Liar. Never mind if you don't want to say."
Lin Chuan laughed and glanced at Helen's long, slender legs exposed outside the towel. Unable to resist, he reached out and touched them, saying, "I'm thinking about your body. Those legs could captivate any man."
"Pervert." Helen scolded softly.
Lin Chuan laughed, "I am a pervert, and today I'm going to have my way with you." He then flipped over, pinning Helen beneath him, yanking off the towel wrapped around her.
Helen was now fully exposed with only her underwear on.
Seeing Helen's perfectly sculpted bosom, Lin Chuan couldn't help but move closer.
Lin Chuan's face moved between her peaks, enjoying for a moment. The dark red tips were particularly tempting, so he took one into his mouth, sucking on it.
As Lin Chuan continued to tease, Helen's arousal heightened. Lin Chuan could distinctly hear the soft moans escaping Helen's lips. Helen clung tightly to Lin Chuan, her body beginning to move slightly, eyes half-closed, occasionally showing a dazed expression.
*********
Helen was left breathless by Lin Chuan's actions, her hands roaming his back and uttering dreamlike murmurs, her lips slightly parted, eyes half-open and half-closed, experiencing a pleasure deep from within. Seeing Helen's arousal, Lin Chuan pushed her back, laying her body flat on the bed, then flipped himself, pressing his entire body over hers.
