Chapter Thirty-One Trouble Keeps Coming

  Zi Lan Xing, outside the 0297 district, behind 939, six team members who narrowly escaped death stood there. In front of them, within a radius of nearly a thousand meters, the entire area was scarred and littered with countless carcasses of wild beasts that covered the uneven terrain.

  "Head, 772 of them..."

  "I know that dying on the battlefield has always been their glory, next, we will enter district 0297, after getting armed... go back and settle accounts with that old man Valis!!"

  "It seems we don't need to hide anymore, they've already found us, hide!!" Eagle Eye 289, who was standing next to T-939, was constantly monitoring the surroundings. He was a scout for T-1. A anti-tank missile mixed with flames shot down from the sky, its target was these surviving members of T-1!

  BOOM!!

  In the deafening explosion, Chu Yan, who was lying in bed, suddenly woke up from his sleep, with sweat beads on his forehead. He didn't know why, but the scene of him narrowly escaping death kept appearing in his dreams, as if constantly reminding him not to forget. He rubbed his temples and took a few deep breaths before getting out of bed.

  In the morning, it always comes with the noisy car horn. Chu Yan walked into the bathroom, took a cold shower in no time, and sat on the sofa wearing a bathrobe after turning on the TV casually.

  On TV, they were reporting on the major achievements of Nanshan City Public Security Bureau in recent days, especially that shocking kidnapping case.

  "We have just received the latest news that last night, in the early hours of the morning, the Nanshan City police assisted Interpol in cracking a major robbery case. The suspects were shot and killed during the arrest. Let's take a look at our reporter's live report from last night."

  The panicked crowd is gone, and all that can be seen in the picture are members of the Blood Scorpion gang holding weapons, standing around Huang Kai, the main person in charge of this operation. Next to him stands a tall, handsome black superman, who, according to the reporter, is an action team leader from Interpol. The people behind him, who are putting all the bodies into bags, are also from Interpol. As for the Nanshan City police, except for Huang Kai showing his face, there is no one else in sight.

  After the news broadcast, Chu Yan smiled. He didn't expect Wan Cai Ni to handle it so neatly and efficiently. However, upon further thought, those bandits seemed to have no connection with the Nanshan City police department after all. It was actually Chu Yan and Xiao La Jiao who took them down one by one. For this, Xiao La Jiao even got injured.

  Here is the translation:

  "Following up on our previous news report, after assisting Interpol in cracking down an international crime syndicate last night, the Nanshan City Police Department's Major Crimes Unit has solved another kidnapping case that had been plaguing the citizens of Nanshan for a long time. According to the police, the suspect's name is Pixes, a notorious kidnapper known globally. All of his previous kidnapping cases have one thing in common: as soon as he receives the ransom, he kills the victim immediately. This pattern held true until his capture."

  The scene shifted, and Huang Kai's figure appeared on the screen. He was neatly dressed and looked like he had made careful preparations. Then, he went through the usual official routine of expressing gratitude and proclaiming that police were the people's protective gods.

  "Not bad efficiency." After switching through a few channels, Chu Yan turned off the TV. The work efficiency of Nanshan City Bureau was surprisingly high, and things were given an official conclusion in the shortest time possible, to the greatest extent avoiding unnecessary panic and disturbance among citizens.

  After breakfast, Chu Yan's figure arrived at the Nanshan National Forest Park in Nanshan City. This is an ideal place for morning exercise. Since Chu Yan came here once, he has been coming every clear morning to relax his mind, with almost no exceptions.

  Jogging is the only thing that Chu Yan can do here, because when jogging, Chu Yan's mind is the most active, and some things that he couldn't think through before will have an extremely clear thought process.

  "Hmm!" But today, destined to be disturbed, the vibration of the mobile phone woke Chu Yan up from his contemplation. He took out his mobile phone and saw an unfamiliar number. "Who is this?"

  "Uncle, it's me, Jiang Xiaoran. Are you awake?" The voice on the phone sounded a bit sleep-deprived, but Chu Yan immediately recognized who the owner of this number was. "I'm jogging in the Forest Park. How come you're up so early? Is there something going on that you called me?"

  Chu Yan didn't stop his slow run, this aerobic exercise often has a lot of benefits.

  "Hey, did you forget what I promised you? I'm going to treat you to a meal. Do you have some time soon? I'll take you out for breakfast." Jiang Xiao Ran yawned on the other end of the phone, clearly still not having gotten out of bed.

  "Okay, where to eat?" Chu Yan smiled and replied to Jiang Xiao Ran. This little girl is quite amusing, being all muddled and confused, otherwise she wouldn't have come up with the idea of inviting someone to eat breakfast instead of dinner.

  "Let's go eat wontons, I love those wontons. As long as I can get up, I'll go there to eat breakfast every day before going to work." Jiang Xiao Ran said, getting out of bed wearing a cartoon cat sleepwear, holding a Doraemon plushie in her hand, and walked into the bathroom with half-closed eyes while holding her phone.

  "Alright, see you at 7:30 then." Chu Yan hung up the phone. The food street in Nanshan City was located in the North City District, about a 40-minute drive from the National Forest Park. He checked the time - 6:50 - and reluctantly gave up his morning jog and meditation routine, speeding up as he headed straight for the park's exit.

  Good luck, as soon as I went out, I saw the circular bus to the food street in the forest park, and after running a few steps, I finally caught up with it. Since it was still early, there weren't many people on the bus.

  It took only thirty-five minutes to arrive at the south entrance of Food Street, which was supposed to be a forty-minute drive. Chu Yan rushed straight to Liu Ama's Wonton Shop in the middle section of Food Street. There were many shops on this food street that operated for breakfast, and before arriving, Chu Yan saw people flowing in and out of Liu Ama's shop.

  This store's breakfast is famous far and near, the white-collar workers in the surrounding commercial buildings all choose to come here for breakfast, which is time-saving and clean, most importantly, Liu Amma's wontons and buns are really delicious.

  "Third Master, look, is that the little brat?" As soon as Chu Yan's figure appeared in the distance, he was spotted by a young man with dyed red hair, who then raised his phone and aimed it at Chu Yan.

  "It's him, Fifth Brother, give me a good lesson and teach him well! I want him to spend the rest of his life in bed!!!" A bandaged face was furiously shouting in the video call on the phone.

  "Don't worry, I'll return the beating he gave me as a young master, and I'll add it back to him today. Just wait for my good news." The red-haired young man hung up the phone, while Chu Yan had already stepped into Liu Amma's store.

  "Huh, young man, how did you come?" As soon as he entered the door, before Chu Yan could speak, Boss Liu Amma took the lead and asked, while her eyes kept glancing at a breakfast shop across the street, with a thick layer of worry on her face.

  "Huh? I came to have breakfast, what's wrong?" Chu Yan had a good impression of this kind-hearted boss lady, but now looking at her worried expression and her eyes constantly drifting towards the back, he suddenly understood that someone had been waiting for him here all along, and these people didn't need to be asked to know that they were his accomplices in taking down Luo San.

  It just so happened that Chu Yan didn't expect those kids to actually have the guts to come looking for trouble again. However, upon further thought, he remembered Liu Ama's words - this group of thugs were the local bullies on this food street, and Luo San seemed to be the adopted son of the big boss who controlled this street. Now that Chu Yan had entered their territory and stepped all over their faces, it was unlikely they would let things go without a fight.

  Having thought it through, Chu Yan smiled faintly and said, "Old sister, since that's the case, I'll go take care of some business first. I'll come back later to have breakfast." As he spoke, he turned around and exited Liu Ama's shop, walking towards a breakfast stall diagonally across from him that sold soy milk and fried dough sticks.

  "There are only eight people, not a small number." In this shop, there were only eight customers. Most of these eight customers had their chests and backs exposed, although it was summer, but they were wandering around shirtless at dawn, which wasn't something that ordinary people could accept. Unfortunately, these people's bodies all had tattoos of dragons and tigers, and since almost every store owner on this street knew them, no one dared to speak up.

  These eight men scared away all the people who were eating here as soon as they entered, and the shop owner dared to be angry but not dare to speak. Who let these men be the local emperor of this street? Who dares to provoke them? If provoked, the original 2,000 yuan protection fee per month will be doubled to 4,000 yuan, which is much more than the loss in the early morning.

  "Boss, give me a bowl of soy milk." Chu Yan strode in and sat down in front of the eight people with a big smile on his face, looking at the leader of the group, also known as Fifth Brother, a young man notorious for being ruthless. This kid was a tough cookie, having been sent to prison before he turned 18 for fighting and injuring others, and after serving his sentence, he had joined Zhao Ge's crew in Food Street, becoming a top-notch enforcer.

  "Hey kid, do you know where this place is?" Zhang Lao Wu looked at Chu Yan, and in his heart, he had already sentenced this guy who came to him voluntarily to death. Of course, having been a thug for too long, he was used to seeing his opponents beg for mercy in front of him, so out of habit, he began the pre-beating declaration.

  "Here? Early bed!" Chu Yan's response made Zhang Lao Wu directly slap the table and stand up. On this street, no one dared to pretend to be stupid in front of him. Since he had confirmed his target, he didn't plan to continue wasting his breath. He picked up a wine bottle from the table and smashed it towards Chu Yan: "Damn! Disable him first!"
