Sirens blared as three police cars sped in, led by Criminal Investigation Captain Lin Wanzhu.
“Don’t move! Hands up!”
Lin Wanzhu raised her gun and aimed at Lin Tianyang.
Around him, armed officers formed three tight layers, completely surrounding him.
Lin Tianyang was stunned.
This was not close combat or a fight settled by force. They had brought in the police.
What was the meaning of this?
Facing so many officers, he did not dare act recklessly. He shoved the bodyguard in front of him aside.
It was not that he feared these people, but he did not dare openly confront so many armed officers.
“Beauty, be careful the gun doesn’t go off by accident.”
Looking at the fiery policewoman with her striking figure, Lin Tianyang swallowed.
Magic City truly had beauties everywhere. He had just come down the mountain and had already encountered one.
Lin Wanzhu stared coldly at him. The way he looked at her, as if he wanted to devour her, made her sick.
Ordinary citizens would tremble like mice before a cat when faced with such a large police presence, lying on the ground without daring to move.
Yet this man showed no nervousness at all. Instead, he acted brazenly, his eyes roaming shamelessly.
“Where are you looking? Hands on your head and behave yourself!” Lin Wanzhu shouted sharply.
“Captain, there are no fatalities on site. Around a dozen people have sustained injuries of varying degrees.”
“Call for emergency assistance immediately. Send them to the hospital.”
While Lin Wanzhu calmly directed operations, Chu Yuan, who had been watching the scene, stepped out of the car without hurry.
“Captain Lin, you arrived just in time. I don’t know where this lunatic came from. He injured more than twenty of my bodyguards. If you had arrived any later, there might have been fatalities.”
“Shut up! You rammed me first and now you dare to slander me? You’re asking to die!”
Chu Yuan’s tactic of accusing first was like pouring oil on fire.
Furious, Lin Tianyang clenched his fists until they cracked, ready to strike.
“Look, look. With so many officers present, he still dares to act violently and even wants to kill me.”
“You didn’t see how arrogant he was just now.”
Chu Yuan stepped back two paces, a mocking smile never leaving his face.
“You’re courting death!”
Unable to endure any longer, Lin Tianyang charged like an arrow, his iron fist aimed at Chu Yuan, but Zuo Shishi blocked it.
So strong!
Before he could think further, the sound of numerous guns being cocked filled the air.
Lin Wanzhu raised her weapon again and aimed at Lin Tianyang.
“I’ll say it one last time. Squat down, hands on your head, or I will open fire.” This chapter is updated first at g.com.
She had initially suspected that Chu Yuan might be bullying him with power.
Now it was clear that this man was a lunatic who had provoked Chu Yuan first.
“Beauty, listen to me…”
Lin Tianyang forced what he thought was a handsome smile, attempting to argue, but Lin Wanzhu cut him off again.
“I said squat down and put your hands on your head.”
The surrounding officers prepared to fire at any sign of resistance.
Lin Tianyang was dumbfounded.
With so many guns pointed at him, even the slightest resistance could turn him into a sieve.
Even if he broke through with force, any injuries among the officers would make him a wanted criminal. He would never be able to remain in the city and would have to flee back to the mountains, living in hiding.
After weighing the pros and cons, he reluctantly complied, squatting down with his hands on his head.
“Captain Lin, look at his eyes. They’re full of killing intent. Either he’s a fugitive or a mentally unstable murderer.”
“I suggest you investigate thoroughly after taking him in. You might uncover something unexpected.”
Chu Yuan continued provoking him from the side.
Even without Chu Yuan’s words, the charge of endangering public safety was enough to give Lin Tianyang a severe headache.
Chu Yuan considered himself generous.
At their first meeting, he had already given the protagonist a free meal.
Such treatment was exclusive to a protagonist.
After Chu Yuan’s reminder, Lin Wanzhu’s gaze toward Lin Tianyang changed.
From the moment she first saw him, she had felt something was off about this lecherous man.
Knocking down over a dozen bodyguards alone, showing no fear before the police, and even daring to flirt with her. There were only two types of people like that.
Madmen or fugitives.
Humiliation.
Bare humiliation.
He had just descended the mountain and was already being schemed against step by step.
Worst of all, he had no ability to retaliate.
If not for the last shred of rationality holding him back, he would have rushed forward and beaten Chu Yuan to death.
Lin Tianyang was already firmly trapped, with no chance of turning the tables.
Looking at the bodyguards lying on the ground groaning, all injured while working for him, Chu Yuan said, “Shishi, withdraw 30 million from Tianlong Group. Those lightly injured receive 500,000 each. Those seriously injured receive 1 million each. The remainder will cover medical and nutritional expenses.” This chapter was taken from novelping . com without permission.
“Understood.”
Zuo Shishi nodded lightly.
The bodyguards who had been groaning immediately stopped, almost cheering instead.
Some even wished they had taken a few more punches to qualify as seriously injured.
Lin Wanzhu’s impression of Chu Yuan improved further.
Bodyguards protecting their employer was natural.
Some employers, when bodyguards were injured or even disabled, offered no compensation and simply dismissed them.
Chu Yuan’s willingness to pay such a large sum proved that he was vastly different from other spoiled rich heirs.
Soon, all injured bodyguards were sent to the hospital.
After understanding the general situation, Lin Wanzhu gestured toward Lin Tianyang. “Take him back for interrogation.”
“You dare scheme against me, Lin Tianyang? You’re the first. If you have the guts, tell me your name.”
“Listen well. I never change my name nor hide my identity. I am Chu Yuan.”
“What? With so many officers here, do you still dare commit violence in the street?”
Chu Yuan smiled. Even knowing his identity, Lin Tianyang had no chance to reverse the situation.
“Chu Yuan.”
Lin Tianyang repeated the name silently. A seed of hatred was planted in his heart and quickly began to take root.
Chu Yuan, is it?
I will remember you.
Before long, you will pay for your foolish actions.
He now understood that from the moment he stepped into Magic City, he had fallen into Chu Yuan’s trap.
Even if he killed this wealthy heir now, it would bring endless trouble.
But simply killing him would be too lenient.
He would make him lose his family and everything he possessed.
“Chu Yuan, we will meet again soon. I hope you can still be this arrogant then.”
“Captain Lin, he’s escalating. He’s threatening me again.”
“Put handcuffs and shackles on him. If he resists again, inject a sedative and take him away by force!”
Lin Wanzhu shot him a disgusted glance. She had no intention of being polite with someone mentally unstable.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for completing the mission: Presenting a Special Gift to the Protagonist Lin Tianyang. Reward: 3,000 villain points and one portion of Heart-Devouring Powder (colorless and odorless, kills without a trace, essential for covert schemes).]
Chu Yuan was delighted. With 3,000 villain points plus the previous reward, he now possessed 6,000 villain points.
As for the “medicine,” using it directly on the protagonist to kill him would be too easy.
He wondered who would be fortunate enough to enjoy such a “gift.”
