The Supreme Beauty Fell in Love with Me

At the scene of Huang Bo's incident, Xiao Feng was standing there looking around anxiously.

When Lin Chuan and Zhou Rui got out of the car, Xiao Feng saw them and burst into tears: "Brother Chuan, Mr. Zhou, Huang Bo is missing."

Lin Chuan comforted, saying: "Xiao Feng, don't worry yet. Maybe nothing's happened to Bozi."

Zhou Rui also said: "Xiao Feng, don't cry. With Lin Chuan here, Huang Bo will definitely be fine."

Lin Chuan asked Zhou Rui to stay with Xiao Feng first. He then inspected around Huang Bo's car but found nothing unusual, afterward looking into the distance.

This stretch of road is about two kilometers from the toll exit of the highway, and there are no cameras within a kilometer nearby.

As Lin Chuan was checking, his phone rang.

Taking out the phone, he saw that the caller ID was unexpectedly Zhang Wenhui.

"Officer Zhang." Lin Chuan greeted after answering the call.

Zhang Wenhui said over the phone: "Lin Chuan, I just received a report from Zhengyang Street police station saying that two people were kidnapped in broad daylight on Zhengyang Street. According to the surveillance, one of them is your good brother Zhou Kai."

Lin Chuan was taken aback and said: "Officer Zhang, where are you? I'll be right over."

Huang Bo missing, Zhou Kai kidnapped; the two incidents happening together is no coincidence. Lin Chuan suddenly felt things were not simple, ended the call, and told Zhou Rui to drive Huang Bo's car and slowly return to Jiangbei City with Xiao Feng, while he drove back quickly.

At the time, Zhang Wenhui was waiting for Lin Chuan in his office at the Huainan Road police station, and Lin Chuan arrived after two hours.

Upon seeing Zhang Wenhui, Lin Chuan urgently asked what had happened.

Zhang Wenhui said: "I'm not very clear on the specifics either; let's go to Zhengyang Street police station and ask Chief He."

Lin Chuan nodded, and he and Zhang Wenhui headed to Zhengyang Street police station promptly.

At Zhengyang Street police station, they met with Chief He.

Zhang Wenhui explained their purpose, and Chief He immediately led them to a room and retrieved the surveillance footage of the incident.

Lin Chuan stared closely at the surveillance screen, seeing the entire process unfold, his brow furrowing instantly. From the footage, Zhou Kai and Ma Yilin seemed indeed to have been kidnapped.

The ones who reported the incident were two young people who had witnessed the whole scene. Lin Chuan and Zhang Wenhui found them on Zhengyang Street and questioned them about the specifics.

The young people's account was basically consistent with what the surveillance showed. However, one young man provided additional information: the man who kidnapped Ma Yilin appeared very fierce, especially his eyes were exceptionally cold.

Considering all the information, Lin Chuan could now conclude that Zhou Kai and Ma Yilin were definitely taken by the people from Maoshan Tao.

Many things had happened between him and Maoshan Tao and he hadn't expected these shameless guys, unable to deal with him, to target those around him.

Fury surged within Lin Chuan, and he said to Zhang Wenhui: "Officer Zhang, where are the Maoshan Tao people being held now?"

Zhang Wenhui said: "Those people are held in the detention center. Why, Lin Chuan, do you suspect that this was done by people from Maoshan Tao?"

"It's certainly those bastards." Lin Chuan said angrily: "Officer Zhang, let's immediately bring the photo of the man who kidnapped Zhou Kai to the detention center."

Zhang Wenhui understood Lin Chuan's feelings at this moment, nodded, and together with Lin Chuan, returned to Zhengyang Street police station, took the photo of the man who kidnapped Ma Yilin, and went to the detention center.

The detention center was in the western suburbs of Jiangbei City, and Lin Chuan and Zhang Wenhui arrived there around nine o'clock in the evening.

Thanks to Zhang Wenhui, a lot of trouble was avoided, and Lin Chuan interrogated Qin Tianchuan in the detention center.

"Do you recognize the person in this photo?" Lin Chuan asked coldly, glaring at the somewhat haggard-looking Qin Tianchuan.

Qin Tianchuan looked at the person in the photo and then at Lin Chuan, nodding.

He had experienced and witnessed Lin Chuan's capabilities and at this moment had some real fear of Lin Chuan.

"What's his name? Do you know where he is?" Lin Chuan asked.

Qin Tianchuan replied meekly: "His name is Qin Ping; I don't know where he is." At this point, seeing Lin Chuan's cold expression, he quickly added: "But I know where his home is."

"Where's his home?" Lin Chuan asked.

Qin Tianchuan said: "Xiguan Town, Xianan Village."

Zhou Rui drove Huang Bo's car, and along with Xiao Feng, they returned to Jiangbei City via the highway. Once in Jiangbei City, Zhou Rui first took Xiao Feng home, and then returned to her aunt's place at Changlin Factory.

By the time they reached the residential area near Changlin Factory, it was already past ten at night. As Zhou Rui was walking downstairs, two men suddenly dashed out from the stairway, and without saying a word, lunged at her.

Zhou Rui was startled and immediately turned to run, shouting as she fled: "Robbery!"

The two men were swift, and before Zhou Rui could get very far, they caught up with her. One on each side, they seized her, and one of the men, showing no pity, struck the back of her neck hard.

This blow knocked Zhou Rui unconscious.

The two men carried the now-unconscious Zhou Rui and quickly vanished into the residential area.

As Zhou Rui shouted, there happened to be a resident in the kitchen on the first floor who poked their head out to look and witnessed the scene. This resident knew Zhou Rui and, upon seeing her being taken away by two men, immediately ran to Zhou Rui's aunt's house and relayed what had happened.

Upon hearing the news, Zhou Rui's aunt was instantly panic-stricken and started wailing.

The resident hurriedly calmed Zhou Rui's aunt down, urging her to quickly call the police.

After Zhou Rui's aunt reported to the police, she thought of Lin Chuan but didn't know his phone number, so she went to Zhou Kai's house to find Zhou Kai and ask for Lin Chuan's number.

Zhou Kai's parents, upon hearing that Zhou Rui had been abducted by two men, tried to call Zhou Kai but couldn't get through.

Eventually, Zhou Kai's mom found a phone book in Zhou Kai's room and called Lu Dapao in Japan, who then provided Lin Chuan's number.

Upon hearing that Zhou Rui had been kidnapped, Lu Dapao was extremely worried and instructed Zhou Kai's mom to notify him immediately if there was any news.

At this point, Lin Chuan and Zhang Wenhui had just been released from detention and were planning to head to Qin Ping's house overnight when suddenly Lin Chuan's phone rang. After answering it and hearing the news from Zhou Rui's aunt about Zhou Rui's abduction, Lin Chuan was stunned.

How could I be so foolish? Lin Chuan blamed himself inwardly, knowing full well that these people were targeting those close to him, yet he failed to send Zhou Rui to a safe place.

Recognizing that these people were after those around him, Lin Chuan immediately grew concerned for Tang Yumeng and Song Xiaojia. Since they could find Huang Bo, Zhou Kai, and Zhou Rui, they could certainly find Tang Yumeng and Song Xiaojia too.

With this in mind, Lin Chuan quickly called Tang Yumeng, warning her to be cautious, though with the two little ones, Xiao Ling and Xiao Hei, with her, Lin Chuan was slightly less worried for Tang Yumeng's safety.

Song Xiaojia was alone at home staring at her phone; when she received Lin Chuan's call, she reassured him not to worry about her. After all, she was a police officer and the daughter of Secretary Song, a top leader of the Provincial Committee; anyone thinking of going after her would need to weigh their options.

Instead of going to Qin Ping's house in Xiguan Town's Xianan Village, Lin Chuan and Zhang Wenhui went directly to the residential area near Changlin Factory. By this time, the police had arrived and were recording a statement from the resident who witnessed the incident.

When Zhou Rui's aunt saw Lin Chuan, she started crying again, holding onto Lin Chuan's arm as she said, "Lin Chuan, what trouble has my Xiao Rui gotten herself into? She must be fine, or how will I explain to her parents?"

Lin Chuan comforted Zhou Rui's aunt with a few words, seeing Zhou Kai's parents were also present, he dared not reveal the news of Zhou Kai's abduction to the elderly couple, lest it cause further trouble.

Lin Chuan stayed in the residential area near Changlin Factory till midnight. Instead of returning home, he went to the street with Zhang Wenhui and treated him to a meal.

At a small night market stall, Lin Chuan looked anxious as he downed three glasses of beer in succession.

"Lin Chuan, try not to worry too much. They'll all be alright," Zhang Wenhui consoled Lin Chuan.

How could Lin Chuan not worry? Zhou Kai, Huang Bo, and Zhou Rui were his life-and-death friends; if anything happened to them, how could he live with himself?

"Chief Zhang, thank you for your help." Today, Zhang Wenhui had busied himself with everyone's issues till now, and Lin Chuan couldn't help but express his gratitude.

Zhang Wenhui replied, "Lin Chuan, if you say this to me, I'll be angry. You've helped me, Zhang Wenhui, countless times, and I've never uttered a fraction of thanks to you, because I consider you a friend. Since we're friends, don't say polite things in front of me."

Moved by Zhang Wenhui's words, Lin Chuan raised his glass and said, "Chief Zhang, no more words, let's drink."

"Cheers." Zhang Wenhui also raised his glass, clinked it with Lin Chuan's, and drained the drink in one go.

At the small night market stall, the two of them drank several bottles of beer and ate some food; seeing that it was nearly one o'clock, Lin Chuan said to Zhang Wenhui, "Chief Zhang, you've had a long day; you should go home and rest early."

"Alright, I'll call you tomorrow morning and we'll go to Xianan Village together," Zhang Wenhui said.

Grateful, Lin Chuan replied, "Okay, tomorrow I'll join you."

After parting with Zhang Wenhui, Lin Chuan hesitated for a moment before returning to his own home.

Nuo Xiaoxi, sleeping soundly inside, was suddenly awakened by the door opening. Only she and Lin Chuan had the keys to this house, it must be Lin Chuan returning.

Upon hearing Lin Chuan return, Nuo Xiaoxi leapt up from the bed, threw on a piece of clothing, and ran outside.
