The hand that was holding the dagger now once again demonstrated its effectiveness.


    Lin Chuan quickly flipped over, correctly gripping the bay, and the big man had no chance to dodge.


    Puchi!


    The dagger plunged into the big man''s back from the side!


    Lin Chuan did not pause, he fiercely withdrew the de and with another sideways flip, elbowed the big man in the chest, causing a spray of fresh blood to gush from his mouth.


    He had little room to fight back.


    Lin Chuan skillfully disarmed him of his ASP expandable baton, with a ferocious attack that forced the big man to keep retreating.


    And the direction Lin Chuan was forcing him to retreat towards...


    —— was right where Yu Keke was positioned!


    At that moment, Lin Chuan was only three to five steps away from Yu Keke.


    Which is faster?


    The gun or the knife?


    It was unknown.


    Lin Chuan nced at Yu Keke using his peripheral vision, then seizing the moment, he flipped over with added force, executing a high side kick with all his might focused into his leg.


    Thump!


    Lin Chuan''s high side kick struck the big man right on the chin!


    The big man, whose defense had already been disrupted by Lin Chuan''s earlier attacks, lost his bnce and was sent flying backward more than ten centimeters, before crashing down heavily!


    His towering body, like a mountain, toppled toward Yu Keke, mming down in front of the desk.


    Yu Keke''s vision darkened as Lin Chuan disappeared from her line of sight; she quickly dodged, while tightly gripping her pistol, ready to shoot at any moment.


    However.


    After the big man hadpletely fallen,


    Yu Keke''s first instinct was not to look for Lin Chuan but to focus all her attention on a dagger spinning toward her.


    Because the dagger was already in front of her.


    No more than fifty centimeters away!


    The dagger was so fast she barely had time to react.


    In life-threatening situations, the mind often goes nk, reacting purely on instinct.


    At the young age of twenty-five, Yu Keke, although shrewd and careful, had never faced such a life-threatening crisis before.


    So she was no exception.


    Yu Keke''s heart pounded ''thump thump thump''; her face instantly filled with horror as she reacted instinctively.


    —— I have to dodge!


    If I don''t, this dagger will slice my throat, or it might stab into my chest or head!


    I''ll be dead on the spot!


    Almost as soon as this thought shed through her mind, her brain subconsciously attempted to control her body to dodge.


    Her body violently twisted!


    Swish!


    The dagger whizzed past her ear, the ''swish'' sounding like the Grim Reaper whispering beside her ear. This time, the Reaper''s scythe did not harvest her life, but the spinning dagger did slice off a lock of hair hanging by her ear.


    Hu—


    Yu Keke was still in shock, but an iing baton struck her hand hard.


    The Glock G17 pistol she was holding flew out of her grasp.


    "President Yu, you can no longer escape," said Lin Chuan picking up the pistol, twirling it expertly in his hand like a toy gun for a couple of revolutions, aiming the muzzle at Yu Keke.


    Capture the king first!


    This was Lin Chuan''s strategy!


    His several skirmishes with the six big men were all intended to use them as human shields and get close to Yu Keke.


    Once he controlled Yu Keke and the gun, everything else would fall into ce.


    After all, Lin Chuan had never been defeated in close-quarterbat.


    Though he hadn''t fought much.


    Using a gun, Lin Chuan''s first time in the real world, but with the weapon in hand, he could threaten many people.


    Look, Yu Keke and the six big men dared not move.


    With the gun in Yu Keke''s hand, Lin Chuan wasn''t afraid.


    Now, with the gun in Lin Chuan''s hand.


    Was Yu Keke scared?


    Were the six big men scared?


    Only the Grim Reaper knew their fears.


    "Fuck!" an expletive erupted from one of the big men, apparently ready to take a daring action.


    Lin Chuan turned the gun and pulled the trigger.


    Bang!


    A deafening gunshot echoed sharply, like thunder reverberating in the confined space, making the walls hum.


    A bullet shot out of the chamber, passing precisely above the head of the big man who had shouted ''fuck'', leaving a ck bullet hole in the wall behind him.


    The big man instantly felt weak in the knees.


    The bullet had grazed so close, as if the Grim Reaper had caressed the top of his head.


    —— Terrifying!


    "Get down, hands over your head," Lin Chuanmanded in a stern voice.


    The gunshot just now had shaken these burly men to their cores.


    At this moment, Lin Chuan seemed like a hellish judge pronouncing their death sentence; even though they were ustomed to living on the edge of the de, under the muzzle of his gun, they could do nothing to oppose him.


    Afterward, Lin Chuan nced at Yu Keke and said with a smile,"Suspect Yu, put your hands on your head and squat down."


    He referred to Yu Keke as ''Suspect Yu.''


    Cough, after all, it waspletely reasonable to address a criminal suspect as ''Suspect Yu.''


    Yu Keke lifted her head, the dark muzzle of the gun was aimed at her, and behind it was Lin Chuan''s face, wearing a faint smile—clean, with a touch of innocent harmlessness.


    Ah spit, innocent harmlessness!


    All craft and cunning!


    Yu Keke took a deep breath, slowlying back to her senses as a tinge of despair appeared in her eyes.


    From the moment she loaded the magazine into her gun, to the moment the gun slipped from her grasp andnded in Lin Chuan''s hands.


    No more than two minutes had passed.


    Fast!


    Too fast!


    Yu Keke had never imagined the situation would turn out like this.


    Because of her nervousness and panic, she was breathing heavily, her chest heaving, her delicate and alluring face gradually turning pale and losing its color.


    She was no overlord, incapable of keeping extremely calm andposed in a life-threatening situation.


    At this time.


    A plea for mercy appeared on Yu Keke''s face,"Lin Chuan, let me go, I can ensure your safety in the Underworld."


    She knew her security system was no match for the police outside.


    At most, it would five take minutes for the police to storm in.


    The rm was still sounding, and the sh of lights outside the window, flickering on and off, told her that her road hade to an end.


    Lin Chuan stood before her, her faintest glimmer of hope.


    "Suspect Yu, you should know that''s impossible," said Lin Chuan, shaking his head.


    Upon hearing this, Yu Keke felt a touch of despair.


    "Squat!" Lin Chuan ordered again, pressing the gun against Yu Keke''s head, showing no signs of sympathy or mercy.


    Yu Keke had no choice but toply, the life gone from her eyes.


    Lin Chuan didn''t care about her; he walked directly to her desk and after a simple search, found how to unlock the doors to the floors.


    Lin Chuan pressed a button.


    Themand was transmitted precisely to the management system, opening the doors to the stairwell on the floor where the general manager''s office was located with a bang!


    Then, Lin Chuan took off his casual jacket and tied it around his waist.


    This suit, although a bit loose, was truly not suitable for closebat fighting.


    Lin Chuan''s previous high side kick had hurt the enemy a thousand, self-injuring twenty.


    —He had torn a hole in his pants.


    Using his jacket to cover up the embarrassment.


    ...


    Outside the stairwell.


    Shen Qianqian and Hu Daqiang''s team saw the double-locked security door suddenly open; they didn''t have time to think, immediately springing into action.


    Shen Qianqian charged ahead like an arrow released from its bow, dashed across the corridor, heading straight for the office.


    Her heart was lodged in her throat.


    Who would have thought Lin Chuan was still inside alone?


    If something happened to Lin Chuan, she... she wouldn''t know how to exin it to Zhang Xinxin.


    Before the operation, she assured Little Landy Zhang Xinxin, patting her chest, that she would ensure Lin Chuan''s safety.


    She didn''t expect a double-locked security door to cause her such nervousness.


    Panting heavily, Shen Qianqian stormed forward, finally leading her team to the office door.


    However, the office was eerily quiet, no soundsing from inside, only the ring rm and the mor from thepany''s perimeter could be heard.


    Shen Qianqian''s heart sank.


    She twisted open therge office door with one hand, held her gun with both hands, and quickly scanned the inside of the office from a sidelong position.


    Hmm?


    First, Shen Qianqian was startled, then her eyes bulged.


    Inside the office, six burly men and Yu Keke were neatly squatting against a wall with their heads in their hands.


    Lin Chuan stood unharmed in front of these criminal suspects, holding a pistol and with a jacket tied around his waist. When he saw Shen Qianqian appear at the doorway, he turned and shed a grin,"You''re finally here, cuff them all."


    Seeing Lin Chuan unharmed, Shen Qianqian''s heart settled.


    She was delighted!


    But seeing the seven suspects ''behaving'' and squatting against the wall, she found it incredible.


    In her mind,


    Lin Chuan was in extreme danger at this moment, fighting these thugs.


    Then she''d lead her team out and y a ''hero saves the leader'' scenario!


    But now, Lin Chuan had single-handedly taken them all down!


    She didn''t even get to participate!


    Swallowing hard, Shen Qianqian looked at Lin Chuan, who was grinning broadly, feeling both shocked and delighted, and then spit.


    —He must have cheated!
