"These people have a certain degree of anti-surveillance skills against the police investigations." Lin Chuan said with a smile: "You guys should leave this kind of thing alone. Let me handle it."

"Huh?" Song Xiaojia was startled and said awkwardly: "Are you up for it?"

"What do you think?" Lin Chuan gave Song Xiaojia a wicked look, and her face immediately turned red. She spat out in frustration: "You're such a hooligan."

"Uh..." Lin Chuan said embarrassingly, "How have I become a hooligan? I'm just talking about investigative skills. What are you imagining?"

"Fine, I'll leave this matter to you, and I'll pull back the cops in charge of this case," Song Xiaojia replied.

"Okay," Lin Chuan nodded and said, "Make sure to pass on any useful leads to me."

Song Xiaojia huffed and then turned to leave.

In the hospital, only the members of the Jvyi Gang were left.

"Brother Chuan, how are we going to catch them?" Zhou Kai asked anxiously.

"I have my ways!" Lin Chuan said with a smile.

The opponents were expert thieves and, from the photos and videos provided by Song Xiaojia, it was clear that only three of them were in cahoots. The others were likely manipulated by someone behind the scenes. Therefore, capturing any one of these three would suffice.

Lin Chuan had some understanding of the habits of such people; they absolutely would not stay in hotels and would avoid inns. They prefer staying in roadside hostels or family-style lodges, as these places do not require ID cards for check-in. Just paying the money gets you in, and moreover, the layout of those hostels is complex, which allows them to escape through windows into complicated alleys swiftly, taking advantage of any chaos to flee.

Therefore, all he needed to do was to take the photos and search the family-style lodges in the streets and alleys.

Lin Chuan wasted no time in acting.

"Zhou Kai, print out several hundred copies of these photos and have the brothers search the streets for those secluded small lodges," Lin Chuan seriously instructed, "When you go to the front desk of the lodges, directly ask the person in charge. Be clear and just give Lin Chuan's name."

"Yes!" Zhou Kai nodded.

Lin Chuan's name did hold a certain prestige in Jiangbei City, and now, he had fully replaced the "Tiger of the Northeast," becoming the top figure in Jiangbei City. Nowadays, everyone in the streets and alleys knew that the number one person in the underworld of Jiangbei City was Lin Chuan.

Zhou Kai immediately led people to search the streets and alleys overnight, and Feixiang Company deployed over a hundred and sixty people, opting to cast a wide net in their search.

Hard work pays off, and at the break of dawn, a lead came in from the outskirts of the Western City District.

"Brother Chuan, we've got news," Zhou Kai said urgently on the phone.

"How's it looking?" Lin Chuan quickly put down his cigarette.

"In the Western City District, Liuu family alley, there's a place called Xingxing Inn," Zhou Kai lowered his voice.

"Alright, we're on it," Lin Chuan quickly said, and before hanging up he carefully instructed, "Don't act before I get there, wait for my arrival. Focus on surveillance. Only act if they've discovered something!"

"Yes!" Zhou Kai immediately nodded.

Lin Chuan immediately set out and drove towards the Western City District.

In a modest double room on the second floor of the Xingxing Inn, at the far east end, three people were crammed inside. The trio had barely slept, sitting on the bed, smoking and playing cards.

"Old Two, let's evacuate tomorrow," the short man spoke up, "The police are already looking for us now."

"Mm!" The burly man nodded and said, "Tomorrow it's time to go, or we'll be caught by these cops like ducks caught by surprise."

"Damn, a bomb," the man with a scar on his neck tossed his cards and said, "Two hundred bucks each."

The short man and the burly man each took out two hundred.

Speaking up, the burly man said, "Damn it, I've been restless all night. I'm not in the mood for cards anymore, I'll go downstairs and see if something's up."

"Okay!" The scarred man nodded.

Afterward, the short man immediately walked out of the room, humming a tune with a cigarette in his mouth. Just as he reached the bottom of the stairs, he saw five or six unfamiliar faces standing in the lobby. The short man was slightly taken aback but proceeded steadily to the reception desk and said, "Boss, two bottles of cold beer, please."

"Okay," the cashier hastily took out two bottles of cold beer from the fridge.

The man threw down twelve bucks and then took the beer upstairs. Just as he reached the top of the stairs, he swiftly sprinted back to the room.

"Trouble," the short man hurriedly said, "We might have been encircled."

"What?!" The burly man exclaimed, "Shit, I knew there was a reason I've been feeling uneasy all day, so it's because of this?! Damn, we've been surrounded."

"Boss, what do we do?" the scarred man urgently asked.

"Get ready to bolt," the burly man replied, "Go out the window."

After speaking, the three men quickly started packing their belongings.

But just as they were about to jump out of the window, they noticed that the outside was covered with fluorescent screens. Looking down, they saw more than ten people squatting below, with most of them playing on their phones.

"Damn it!" the burly man was annoyed and said, "They've staked this place out too."

"Find another spot!" the scar-faced man said in haste.

Immediately afterwards, the group pushed the door open and then knocked on the opposite room. A groggy voice came from inside: "Who's there?"

"Free beer!" the burly man replied in a soft whisper.

The door of the room was flung open promptly, and a chubby man in underwear opened it, rubbing his bleary eyes, he said, "What free beer!"

"Giving you two bottles of beer for free!" the burly man pushed two bottles of ice-cold beer over and said, "Just borrowing the room for a bit!"

Having said this, the three squeezed themselves into the room.

"****, what do you want to do?" the chubby man was shocked and said, "My girlfriend is inside, my girlfriend..."

The three men squeezed into the room and there was a fairly attractive woman inside, shivering as she watched the three burly men, struggling inwardly. If these three men were to come at her together, should she give in or not? Should she accept or struggle in pain?

To their surprise, the three men didn't even glance at her and walked straight towards the window instead.

"No one!" the burly man looked down and said.

"Let's go!" the short man urged hurriedly.

The three hurriedly jumped out the window from the second floor, the height was over three meters—not too high, but not low either. The burly man was the first to jump down, rolling on the spot upon landing, immediately lessening the impact of the fall. The two behind him followed suit.

Bang...

Suddenly, the man upstairs grabbed the two bottles of beer and smashed them fiercely, roaring: "To hell with the beer!"

Two loud bangs immediately burst through the pitch-black night.

Zhou Kai was waiting in the car when he suddenly heard the noise, he immediately realized something was wrong, and he quickly shouted, "No good, catch them quickly!"

Clatter...

More than ten people immediately surrounded the place where the sound came from.

The three seasoned robbers moved swiftly towards the exit of the alleyway. At that moment, Zhou Kai promptly led people to block one end. Looking at the three men rushing towards him, he sneered, "Think you can escape? It's not that easy!"

The burly man spotted Zhou Kai and said, "Didn't expect it was you?"

"Heh, surprised, aren't you?" Zhou Kai sneered and said, "There's a lot more you didn't expect, and it's not just this one thing."

"You think with just these few people you can stop us?" the burly man chuckled eerily, then took out a large knife from his back. The edge of the blade was sharp, casting a chilling glint in the nighttime sky, its gleam radiating out and striking cold into anyone who saw it.

"Then just give it a try," Zhou Kai retorted.

The burly man took a deep breath, squinting his eyes. If it really came to a fight, he was not worried at all. No matter how many people the other side had, they could not possibly be a match for him and his two brothers. But the arrival of the police would be troublesome. The burly man glanced at his two brothers behind him and said, "Brothers, make it quick and decisive."

"Sure!" the two behind him nodded.

Subsequently, the three charged out immediately.

This was a fight for their lives—if they didn't win, they'd surely die. Zhou Kai was also well aware of his fate. He was facing tough robbers, desperados. They were all demons who killed without batting an eye. So he hurriedly warned, "Guys, take it easy. Back off if it's no good!"

Before the value of life, all else must give way.

Each of the brothers who followed him was flesh and blood, and should they die, it would likely destroy the families they left behind. Therefore, Zhou Kai had no desire to let them take risks with their lives for him.

The other three indeed fought as if their lives did not matter to them, extremely brutal. Zhou Kai found out after a few exchanges that they were very strong. That kind of strength that is truly honed from the blade. The kind of experience accumulated from living on the edge.

The Jvyi Gang retreated while fighting.

At that moment, two beams of headlights shone over. The roaring sound of engines approached, Zhou Kai shouted: "Brother Chuan's here."

Vroom vroom vroom...

The crowd was instantly excited.

In the eyes of the people, Lin Chuan was an invincible and fearless existence. His strength and combat abilities were definitely unmatched by ordinary people. The arrival of Lin Chuan was like an injection of adrenaline into everyone's veins.

Screech...

The car came to an abrupt halt, and Lin Chuan quickly jumped out.

The battle at the scene immediately came to a halt. The three tough robbers all turned to look at Lin Chuan. They were relatively unfamiliar with Lin Chuan, but the aura emanating from him was strikingly familiar to them. It was a killing intent, an aura of having killed countless people.

For ordinary people, this presence was just an oppressive force, but for them, it was a sharp killing intent. The other party definitely had a big background.

The burly man sheathed his steel knife and asked, "Brother, what turf you from?"
