What's your reaction when you're focused and suddenly disturbed by someone?

Lu Chuan gave a classic reaction.

"Damn! Scared the hell out of me!"

Lu Chuan was truly startled. Although he was monitoring the warehouse with peripheral vision, all his attention was focused there.

Being suddenly spoken to beside him really shocked him.

He turned his head and saw a pair of slightly apologetic eyes: "Buddy, sorry, I just bought cigarettes and forgot to bring a lighter."

As he spoke, the man with unusually dense hair raised his right hand, showing the cigarette pinched between his index and middle finger.

"Ding!"

"Tian Yongjiang, male, 32 years old, wanted suspect in Cuiping Road District police assault case, similarity 100%!"

A blood-red halo Lu Chuan had never seen before was on top of the man's head.

Information was clearly printed within.

It's actually him!

Lu Chuan didn't expect that he was watching the possible hideout of the target, but the man himself appeared right beside him.

Damn!

Capture or not?

The idea quickly flashed in Lu Chuan's mind and was extinguished.

Yet, it filled his mind like wild grass.

The opponent was alone now. If Lu Chuan acted directly and succeeded, it would be a major achievement!

But, this was a ruthless bandit who had just stabbed a Tianzhou City Criminal Investigation Team detective.

Lu Chuan had only learned some basic self-defense in his previous life, and in college only dabbled in general sparring, without real combat experience, he couldn't guarantee success.

So, in theory, Lu Chuan's best choice now was stability. Just confirming the opponent's hideout was also an accomplishment.

But, the problem was if allowed to return to the hideout, the opponent would have Liang Qi as a hostage.

With the cautious nature of installing surveillance cameras in the mistress's house, silently rescuing Liang Qi would be very challenging.

In that case, the capture would become a stand-off.

With the large population in the Huilong Mountain area, word would spread quickly.

What to do?

These thoughts amounted to just one or two ideas.

"Almost dropped my ice cream out of shock." Lu Chuan's dissatisfaction was clear in his eyes.

However, lending a lighter for a cigarette is something few will refuse unless utterly unreasonable.

Lu Chuan took out the lighter from his right pocket and handed it over.

Tian Yongjiang took the lighter, flicked it, lit his cigarette, and took a deep breath.

"Buddy, what are you watching with such focus?"

Returning the lighter to Lu Chuan, Tian Yongjiang asked casually.

Lu Chuan pointed to a short-skirted beauty standing at the small house's door in the distance: "Hey, see that figure? I…"

Before finishing his sentence, Lu Chuan stopped abruptly, and suspiciously looked at Tian Yongjiang: "Someone you know?"

Tian Yongjiang quickly waved his hands: "No, no, just chatting casually. I'm not in that line of work."

Lu Chuan didn't speak, instead he looked steadily at the other party.

The intention not to continue chatting was very clear.

"Thanks, buddy!"

Tian Yongjiang raised his hand again, turned sideways, and walked in the direction of the warehouse Lu Chuan was watching.

Under the shadow of the eaves, Lu Chuan narrowed his eyes and his legs pushed forcefully against the ground.

The cigarette and ice cream in his hand swirled in the air.

Grapple, chokehold!

However, what Lu Chuan thought was a sure strike missed.

Tian Yongjiang quickly moved forward and turned around to see Lu Chuan, who was attacking him.

Lu Chuan's expression turned sour; his hands missed completely, and he didn't continue attacking.

Tian Yongjiang held the half-burnt cigarette in his mouth and drew a butterfly knife from his back waist with his right hand.

Lu Chuan clearly saw that the hollow part of the handle still had dark red stains.

Tian Yongjiang looked at Lu Chuan with a half-smile, seemingly in no rush to make a move: "Curious about how I noticed you?"

Lu Chuan still didn't speak, cautiously watching Tian Yongjiang.

"Buddy, you're still too young."

"People who smoke Chinese cigarettes would come here looking for women?"

"With your looks, would you lack women?"

Damn!

So having money and looking handsome isn't okay?

Swish!

Tian Yongjiang had swift movements, not following any martial arts methods, just fast.

The gleaming knife edge was aimed at Lu Chuan's neck.

Bam!

However, quick to arrive, quick to leave.

Just as Lu Chuan was about to fend off, a dark shadow unexpectedly darted out from behind and hit Tian Yongjiang's chest squarely.

It was Zhang Hui!

"Brother Hui!"

Lu Chuan's tense face flashed with surprise, stepping forward quickly to assist: "Why did you come back?"

Zhang Hui had only left less than ten minutes ago, logically shouldn't have returned so quickly.

"Save it for later, let's take him down first!"

The cold barrel of the gun was already pressed against Tian Yongjiang's forehead: "Don't move! Drop the knife!"

Lu Chuan took out handcuffs, kicked aside the butterfly knife Tian Yongjiang had dropped, and twisted his arm back.

Clack!

The clasp was tightened to the maximum, causing Tian Yongjiang to sweat profusely in pain.

Taking out the walkie-talkie, Zhang Hui announced on all channels: "Captain Qin, suspect Tian Yongjiang has been arrested, located at Yongsheng Second Lane in front of Water Cloud Foot Bath Shop."

In front of the Water Cloud Foot Bath Shop, the little darling who had been standing at the door was now ashen-faced.

Appearing as if someone had enjoyed without paying, it was very realistic.

Slowly, a crowd began to gather as well.

"Everyone, disperse, don't crowd, don't watch!"

Lu Chuan began to maintain order on-site; it took less than two minutes before Qin Yong and all the detectives in the Huilong Mountain area arrived.

"Where's Liang Qi?"

No time to ask how Tian Yongjiang was caught, Qin Yong immediately focused on the kidnapped hostage's situation.

"In the house I'm renting."

"Specific location!"

"Right by the warehouse to the right of the foot bath shop."

Indeed, Tian Yongjiang hadn't rented residential housing but had rented a small warehouse in the bustling area.

Moreover, there's an underground room inside.

When Liang Qi was found, she was locked to the iron bed in the basement.

"I'll go in with Lu Chuan, everyone else waits outside the basement!"

At the basement entrance, Qin Yong didn't let everyone rush in.

Tian Yongjiang's kidnapping of Liang Qi required evidence collection.

And he had imprisoned Liang Qi for eight days; during that time, who knows what he did.

Lu Chuan didn't have his crime scene investigation kit, but he had some simple tools.

At least fingerprints and bodily fluid evidence could be fixed and identified.

Liang Qi, twenty-six this year, grew up without a father, greatly impacting her development.

However, Liang Qi was very smart; she entered a prestigious university after high school.

Post graduation, she worked for a foreign company.

Childhood's unhappy memories seemed to dissolve over time.

But she didn't expect that when everything was on track, a demon broke into her life.

Eight days felt like enduring eight years in hell for Liang Qi.

Bang!

When the basement door lock opened and a strange male voice sounded, her tears fell silently.

"Are you Liang Qi?"

"We are the police!"

Police?!

Never before did Liang Qi want to hear those two words so much.

Whoa!

Lu Chuan just entered with Qin Yong, and a figure pounced on him.

Then, his shoulders were soaked with tears.

The heartwrenching, wailing cry seemed like a flood bursting its bank.

The Liang Qi before him had no visible wounds, her clothes were surprisingly good-looking, even wearing light makeup.

But items on the bed let Qin Yong and Lu Chuan know what Liang Qi had gone through.

Outside the warehouse, wrapped in a blanket, Liang Qi trembled in the support of two female officers, slowly walking out.

The noon sunlight, like newborn dew, bathed Liang Qi's body and heart.

"Ah! I'll kill you! Kill you!"

A now somewhat calmer Liang Qi caught sight of Tian Yongjiang in the police car.

Lu Chuan was still in the basement at this moment, where there was a lot of evidence; on the basement bed, residue of bodily fluids.

Everywhere were Tian Yongjiang's fingerprints, footprints.

On the tools on the bed, there were his fingerprints.

With charges of kidnapping, imprisoning, assaulting, and attacking police, getting a death sentence was difficult, but life imprisonment was certain.

Moreover, for someone as maleficent as him, there's basically no chance of sentence reduction.
