Lin Chuan was currently at an outskirt wild lake with Zhou Rui, where the two sat on the lakeshore playing.

The day before yesterday, Zhou Rui endured an incredibly thrilling experience that she still couldn't forget—those bloody scenes and the terrifying night. If not properly guided, Lin Chuan feared Zhou Rui would end up with mild depression like Tang Yumeng, or even develop into autism.

Tang Yumeng had suffered from autism, and had spent a considerable sum on treatment abroad. Although she was now free from autism, if it recurred, the consequences would be unthinkable. In minor cases, she would revert to being withdrawn, and in severe cases, it could lead to jumping off a building to commit suicide.

Zhou Rui was wearing a grass-green long dress, a beach hat on her head, and a pair of crystal sandals on her feet, with a sleeveless short skirt, revealing her arms as delicate as jade-green lotus roots. She looked extremely beautiful and enchanting.

Once this girl entered nature, she became like a lovely fairy, constantly swaying and running through the grass. Now and then, she would pick wild flowers along the trail or reach out to chase the fluttering butterflies, like a little girl intoxicated by the great outdoors.

Lin Chuan followed behind Zhou Rui, smilingly watching her figure from the back.

It must be said, Zhou Rui truly had her charms. Though she did not possess the country-overthrowing beauty of Tang Yumeng, she absolutely ranked among the top beauties. Under the sunshine, she looked refreshingly pure.

The pale green long dress, with pale blue peonies embroidered at the cuffs and strands of auspicious clouds outlined in silver threads, the hem densely lined with blue sea cloud patterns, and a wide band of pale yellow brocade across the front, her body gently twirling as the skirt unfurled, her every move as graceful as willows caressed by the breeze.

Loosely coiled hair with stray locks fluttering, light makeup just accentuated her naturally aqueous eyes brimming with the spirit of spring, her skin fine and soft like warm jade, without the overt sheen of richness, her cherry lips red without adornment, tender as if dappled with dew, strands of hair caressing her cheeks with the wind, adding a touch of irresistible allure, and those lively eyes, playful and mischievous in their movements, she looked impossibly flawless in her light green dress, her waist so slender, an embodiment of a beauty so divine and untouched by the mundane world.

Zhou Rui turned her head, tilting it slightly, her bright red lips curling upwards, "Lin Chuan, come chase me!"

"Silly girl." Lin Chuan smiled affectionately, "Wait for me, I'll catch up to you soon."

"Hehe..." Zhou Rui ran off with laughter.

Lin Chuan immediately gave chase, but not at full speed, because if he did, he could catch up to Zhou Rui within seconds. He matched her pace as closely as possible, both frolicking in nature, enjoying the peace far from the city's clamor, breathing the fresh air, and savoring the purity of the environment.

Zhou Rui laughed, "Hurry, hurry up!"

Her hair beamed with dazzling brilliance under the sun, and her stunning face and well-curved figure made one sigh: What a breathtakingly beautiful woman.

Zhou Rui's mood seemed to have improved a lot, as if her spirit had suddenly cleared.

Until noon came, with the sun shining fiercely and the temperature rising sharply.

"Let's go back," Lin Chuan said, "It's too sunny."

"Okay," Zhou Rui nodded in agreement.

Only then did they drive away, and just as they arrived at Changlin Factory entrance, they were met by a group of brothers from Feixiang Company running hurriedly at the gate.

"It's Brother Chuan's car!" someone shouted at this moment.

The crowd was stunned for a moment, then quickly surrounded them.

Whoosh...

Over a dozen people immediately sprinted toward Lin Chuan's car. It was fortunate Lin Chuan recognized this group, because if a tense-looking mob suddenly started sprinting towards your car, what would that feel like?

"What's up?" Lin Chuan stuck his head out.

"Brother Chuan, bad news," the underlings gasped, "Kai has been arrested by the police."

"What?!" Lin Chuan was startled and asked promptly, "How did that happen?"

"Things have blown up," the underling hurriedly said," Long Wu is dead, supposedly from excessive blood loss, so the police are charging Zhou Kai with intentional homicide. They came early this morning and took Kai away. We couldn't find you anywhere. And nobody answered your phone."

Lin Chuan was taken aback, subconsciously retrieving his phone from the car, indeed finding it flooded with unread messages and missed calls.

"Alright, I got it," Lin Chuan said, immediately regaining his composure.

On the surface, he appeared calm, but inside, Lin Chuan felt as if a missile had exploded within him. Long Wu's death was unexpected. Logically, losing an arm shouldn't have been fatal. Moreover, they had called for emergency services on the scene, so how could it have led to death? That seemed too far-fetched!

Therefore, Lin Chuan quickly determined this was not a simple accident, but rather a set-up against him. A cold smile curled on Lin Chuan's lips.

"Brother Chuan, what do we do now?" the crowd asked anxiously.

"Don't panic," Lin Chuan said calmly, puffing on a cigarette, "I'll make a trip to the police station. You all go back and focus on work. I'll definitely bring Zhou Kai back."

"Yes!" The crowd was immediately reassured upon hearing this.

Since Lin Chuan said he would bring him back, Zhou Kai would surely return, and there was no room for doubt.

"I'll go with you," Zhou Rui said anxiously.

"Don't go," Lin Chuan said with a smile, looking at Zhou Rui, "I'm afraid that if it turns violent again, you might get scared."

"No!" Zhou Rui shook her head, "I must go. As long as you're there, I'm not afraid."

Zhou Rui's personality was very obstinate; once she set her mind on something, it seemed that not even nine bulls could pull her back. Lin Chuan helplessly nodded, "Okay, if you want to go, then let's go."

Lin Chuan didn't want to take Zhou Rui with him, not because she would drag him down, but because he didn't want her to witness the bloody scene. She had just experienced a terrifying ordeal the night before, and any further shock would probably be detrimental to her emotional recovery.

No sooner had Zhou Rui gotten out of the car than she excitedly climbed back into Lin Chuan's.

"Hee hee..." Zhou Rui giggled.

Lin Chuan's face, however, showed a hint of helplessness; he had no way of dealing with this girl.

Lin Chuan hurriedly drove toward the police station. From morning to noon, it had been two to three hours, and he wasn't sure how Zhou Rui was inside. Given Chen Jianjun's character, he definitely wouldn't let Zhou Kai off and was certain to employ violence. Thus, Lin Chuan was burning with anxiety.

He sped all the way to the police station.

Upon arriving at the entrance of the police station, the doors were tightly shut. It seemed that Chen Jianjun knew Lin Chuan would come, so he had ordered the doors to be closed early on. When Lin Chuan arrived, the doors were locked from the inside.

Thud thud...

Lin Chuan hammered at the door with his fist while shouting, "Open up, open the door quickly."

There was no response from inside the police station.

"What do we do now?" Zhou Rui asked urgently.

"Damn it, they must have anticipated my arrival," Lin Chuan muttered angrily with a cigarette butt in his mouth, "I refuse to believe a couple of lousy doors can keep me out."

"What are you planning to do?" Zhou Rui asked.

"Stand back," Lin Chuan waved his hand.

Zhou Rui was stunned for a moment, but quickly got out of the way. Lin Chuan flicked the cigarette butt; it traced an arc in mid-air with its last ember. Then, Lin Chuan immediately dove back into the car, started it up, and reversed about twenty meters.

"Lin Chuan, have you gone mad?" Zhou Rui was immediately stunned. She saw through Lin Chuan's intent. She knew he wanted to ram the doors open with the car. But if the car wasn't sturdy enough, Lin Chuan was likely to be the one getting hurt. Zhou Rui vigorously waved her hands, signaling Lin Chuan not to ram the doors with the car.

Lin Chuan, however, couldn't care less. After starting the car, he slammed his foot on the accelerator, and the car's exhaust pipe emitted bursts of thick black smoke. Then, the car's tires screeched a long black line on the pavement.

Squeal, squeal...

The tires made screeching noises.

Zhou Rui watched in dumbfounded fear, standing far away. She was scared, she was panicked, afraid that when Lin Chuan rammed the gate, a violent explosion would occur.

Boom...

Finally, the car violently smashed into the doors. The two stainless steel doors instantly collapsed. Yet, Lin Chuan's car was unscathed. The bumper only had some paint scratched off, which was nothing a bit of repainting couldn't fix.

Screech...

After the car charged into the courtyard, it performed a beautiful drift, finally coming to a halt sideways in the middle of the police station's courtyard.

Inside the station, more than a dozen police officers were already armed with riot shields, watching eagerly as Lin Chuan burst through. They thought Lin Chuan would try to enter by scaling the wall, but nobody expected him to use such an extreme and violent method to break open the doors.

"Lin Chuan, you madman!" Chen Jianjun was stunned by the scene. Just a moment ago, he had thought about going to check the door, but had no idea Lin Chuan would simply ram through it with his car. Had he actually gone to the door, he might have been heroically sacrificed, dying in the line of duty. Chen Jianjun was terrified and nearly lost his soul to fear.

Lin Chuan stepped out of the car and sneered, "Chen Jianjun, tell me. Did you arrest Zhou Kai?"

"Yes," Chen Jianjun immediately nodded.

"Release him at once," Lin Chuan sneered, "or don't blame me for not being polite."

Lin Chuan stood in the courtyard, facing the fully armed police officers without a trace of fear, as if he had the bearing of a man who could face a thousand pointing fingers. This demeanor inspired awe, and at least some of the police officers were already feeling fear and intimidation toward Lin Chuan. He indeed seemed to exert overwhelming pressure on them.

"You wish," Chen Jianjun shook his head, "Zhou Kai is suspected of intentional homicide and has been authorized for arrest by the Procuratorate. If you want to have him released, go talk to the Procuratorate. Get them to issue a notice of release."
