Chapter Twenty: The Capture Fails

  "1...2......9...10." The girl really counted from one to ten, opened her eyes and saw that the little rascal who had been wanting to take liberties with her was lying on the ground with a broken head and bleeding, while the people around her, including her good friend Miao Miao, were all stunned, looking at the big uncle in front of her as if they had seen a monster.

  "This is what you call gentle?" Wan Caoni approached Chu Yan with a skeptical face, her eyes scanning back and forth between the little thug who was lying on the ground unconscious and the five other little rascals standing around, unscathed.

  "I'm being very gentle, if it were you, these little brats probably wouldn't be able to keep their lives." Chu Yan looked at the few small thugs around him who were revealing a fierce light in their eyes but didn't dare to look directly at him, and then glanced at the bulge under Wan Cai Ni's leather jacket "What? Am I wrong?"

  Although Wan Cai Ni was unwilling to admit it, in fact, if she really did take action, I'm afraid that today's downfall wouldn't be limited to just one small leader. The outcome for the others wouldn't be very beautiful either.

  "Uncle, what did you do to him? Is he okay?" The drowsy girl looked at Luo San who was lying motionless on the ground and asked with some curiosity.

  But before Chu Yan could respond, his good friend had already spoken up "This uncle grabbed that scum's hair and the table for ten intimate contacts, and in the end, the table won out, his skull was blown off." Wang Miao Miao witnessed at close range the entire process of Chu Yan grabbing Luo San's hair and slamming him into the table, a clean and efficient display of violent aesthetics.

  "It's very yellow and violent, thank you uncle, my name is Jiang Xiaoran, you can call me Xiao Ran." The expression on the girl's face was surprisingly excited, it seemed that she had already forgotten the scene where she was molested earlier, with the uncle punishing the bad guy, this ending couldn't be more perfect.

  "Is he okay?" asked Wang Caoni, looking at Luo San who was lying on the ground.

  "He's not dead, just a concussion. Alright, you handle the aftermath. Let them all go in and wait for a while. This street is nice, I'll come here often from now on, so I won't see them again and have to burst another watermelon, which would be bad for my appetite!" Chu Yan knew that his move looked bloody and violent, with great impact, but the actual damage was limited, only serving to intimidate visually.

  Wancai pouted, letting her be an international police officer to do such follow-up work was really a bit of a waste of talent, but there was no way around it, who made her come conveniently.

  "Aren't you guys leaving yet? Waiting for dinner?" Chu Yan's move was brutally violent, instantly stunning the five little rascals who usually only teased girls. They had fought before, but never seen anyone grab someone's head and smash it into a table. There were one or two times when even two of the hoodlums were afraid that Luo San's head would be smashed open.

  After Chu Yan finished speaking, it took more than ten seconds for these little rascals to come back to their senses, turn around and run away with their legs. They didn't even bother to leave a few harsh words behind, that man was really too ruthless, only an idiot would continue to stay there.

  The people around didn't say a word from start to finish, and after those little rascals left, they all escaped like they were fleeing the breakfast shop. The owner of the breakfast shop, a short and stout auntie with a bitter smile, walked over and said, "Brother, hurry up and leave! This Luo San is the adopted son of Zhao Ge, the big boss of this food street. Hurry up and get out of Nanshan City, those underworld people are all very ruthless!"

  The boss's words made Chu Yan feel warm inside. Meanwhile, Wan Cai Ni had already finished her phone call: "Alright, it's settled. This street will be yours from now on."

  Wancai Ni's words made Chuyan stunned for a moment, and then he understood the meaning of the words. He turned around, smiled at the boss lady with a smile on his face, "Thank you, boss lady, your food is delicious, I'll come often in the future."

  After finishing, Chu Yan and Wan Caimei walked out of the breakfast shop called Liu Ama Wonton amidst the boss's bitter smile. Behind them, Jiang Xiaoran and Wang Miaomiao rushed out in a hurry.

  "Uncle, sister, wait a minute." The speaker was Jiang Xiaoran. This sleepy girl came to the front of Chu Yan and Wan Caoni. "Uncle, can you tell me your phone number? After I get paid, I'll treat you to dinner."

  "Uncle... sister... haha, Chu Yan ah Chu Yan... you're old!" Upon hearing Jiang Xiao Ran's greeting, Wan Cai Ni couldn't help but burst out laughing. Originally, the two were only a few years apart in age, with Chu Yan being 31 and Wan Cai Ni being 26, but in Jiang Xiao Ran's mouth, the five-year gap had become a difference of an entire generation...

  "Hmm... okay." Chu Yan was a bit down, but still very readily gave his phone number to Jiang Xiao Ran. Watching the two girls disappear into the crowd shoulder to shoulder, the gloom on Chu Yan's face had already been swept away.

  "Come on, someone will be here to deal with this within five minutes. Let's go take care of our business." Wan Caoni said as she walked towards the car. The two got in and the silver "Don't Touch Me" slowly merged into traffic... Meanwhile, from a distance, the ear-piercing sound of sirens grew louder and closer...

  The city's first museum, on the second day of the exhibition, the flow of people has decreased slightly, but it is still considerable. So far, this exhibition is apparently very successful.

  "You go around first, I still have to find Professor Shi to talk about it and see what treasure in this exhibition is worth the Bloodstain Scorpion sending out more than a dozen elites to make a move! After parking the car, Wancai Ni parted ways with Chu Yan. She had to figure out what the Bloodstain Scorpion's goal was as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable."

  Chu Yan nodded, he also had a lot of things to do today, the most important thing was to figure out how many people in the exhibition hall were poisoned by the blue scorpion, the security system of the entire venue was the most critical link, and it was also the easiest to be breached.

  Chu Yan was 100% certain that the Blood Scorpion had completely taken control of the security system. Now he needed to figure out their numbers and distribution. There were eighteen people who had entered with the Blood Scorpion, including the already deceased Sha Jiang, which meant there were seventeen people in total. Excluding Piksa, the ticket scalper, there should be sixteen people that could definitely be found. The only difficult part was that eight of these sixteen people were Asian, meaning they had a typical Eastern face. If they didn't open their mouths to speak, it would be very hard to tell them apart.

  In the crowd of people in the exhibition hall, apart from ordinary security guards maintaining order, Chu Yan did not find any members of the Bloodstain Scorpion. Only at the entrance on the second floor could two target members be confirmed. As for the third-floor VIP exhibition hall, there were four foreign security personnel standing outside, who were undoubtedly also members of the Bloodstain Scorpion.

  Chu Yan searched extensively and on the surface, he could only find a total of six target members. As for the others, Chu Yan had no idea where they were, but he believed that they must be somewhere nearby, perhaps even right next to him. These mercenaries were very good at disguising themselves, making them difficult to detect. So far, he had only found two Asian-faced target members, which meant there were still six more Asian faces for him to find.

  Time passed quickly, and before I knew it, it was already noon. Wan Cai Ni's figure reappeared in the exhibition hall, found Chu Yan, and the two of them left the First City Museum together, rushing to eat at the opposite CDB.

  "Look at this!" After ordering the meal, Wang Caoni put her mobile phone in front of Chu Yan. On the screen was a majestic long gun with a dragon carved on its body and a dragon's head emerging from the muzzle, exuding an extraordinary aura.

  "Liquid Spring Gun?" Chu Yan looked at the weapon and almost called out its name without hesitation, which surprised Wancai Ni, because this weapon was not on display at the exhibition, but a private collection that had just been decided to participate in the auction.

  "This rifle was once Yue Fei's weapon. If it were genuine, the price would be at least over ten million." Chu Yan returned the phone to Wan Caoni, his voice very calm.

  "Over a million?" Wan Caoni was slightly surprised, but this also made her more certain of the goal of the Blood Scorpion, this gun must be one of them!

  "By the way, Carole informed me that the auction will start at 9 o'clock sharp in two days' time and will last for two hours. The entry qualification has been raised from five million to ten million." Wan Caimei's words suddenly flashed a glimmer of inspiration in Chu Yan's mind "Perhaps this is a good thing."

  Chu Yan's muttering was inaudible to Wan Cai Ni, but the more Chu Yan thought about it, the clearer he became, and his expression on his face became more and more relaxed. After the dishes arrived, he devoured them like a whirlwind, and then wiped his mouth "I'm going back to take a nap, see you at the auction tomorrow."

  Having said that, he didn't wait for Wan Cai Ni's reaction and stood up to leave.

  "This bastard! At least buy a single ticket before leaving!! You're really not a good guy!" Looking at Chu Yan's departing back, Wan Caoni was a bit stunned. She didn't know what had gotten into him, how he could think of running back to sleep at this time. Thinking again, this guy wasn't an Interpol officer, and he didn't have the obligation to accompany her in messing around here. So she just let Chu Yan leave, and lowered her head to launch a full-scale attack on a plate of Italian noodles that had just been served.

  ……

  Nanshan City Public Security Bureau, Major Crimes Division Conference Room 7.

  "Bang!" A stack of documents slammed heavily on the conference table, and Huang Kai, who had just resumed his post, looked regretful. "This time's preparation work was insufficient, leading to the failure of the operation, and I take main responsibility. However, although our capture this time failed, we made a breakthrough progress, and the range of suspects in the kidnapping case has narrowed down to only three people."

  Huang Kai handed out the audio-visual materials, one copy per person. The materials had three photos attached: the first was a young man with a pointed mouth and monkey-like cheeks; the second was a middle-aged European man with a kind smile; and the third was a dirty and disheveled woman. These three people were the breakthroughs that Zhang Dechang had been monitoring Wendy for!

  "Get me images of these three people right away, I want them caught and brought back as soon as possible!"
