"Is that really so?"
Lin Yuan was merely speaking off the cuff. He took out his already powered-on phone and called Lu Zhigang.
The music in the bar had stopped, and Lu Zhigang was just about to take his group outside when his phone rang in his pocket. It suddenly reminded him that he had forgotten about Lin Yuan.
Once the call connected, he was about to ask where Lin Yuan was when he heard Lin Yuan's voice on the other end:
"Someone is trying to assassinate me, and I’ve caught him. Can you come over to pick him up?"
As he spoke, Lin Yuan glanced down at the ground.
The person looked like they were in pretty bad shape. Their leg was twisted at an unnatural angle; even if they survived, they wouldn’t be walking normally again.
By the time Lu Zhigang arrived with someone who had a bit of medical knowledge, the person on the ground had already passed out.
He was astonished that Lin Yuan could handle things to this extent alone. Then he noticed a small object embedded in the person's wrist; it was inserted straight into the flesh. Normally, there should have been a blade sticking out.
"I thought Zhang Yaozhi was joking when he said someone wanted to kill you, but it seems I was wrong."
He genuinely believed it was just a joke at the time.
This wasn’t the first time something like this had happened, but now that they had caught the person, he wondered if he could interrogate him directly.
There was no way to hand him over to the district again, which prompted Lin Yuan to ask.
Lu Zhigang shook his head. "We’ll handle the initial interrogation; later on, it can be handed over to you."
It was more of a formality; no one knew better than Lin Yuan why this person had attacked him. However, since Lin Yuan wasn’t saying anything, Lu Zhigang wouldn’t press for details either.
Moreover, he felt a bit puzzled himself; when reviewing the files earlier, he hadn’t found any enemies of Lin Yuan’s who would resort to such brazen violence in public.
"Alright, thank you."
As long as he had a chance to ask questions, Lin Yuan felt satisfied.
The scene before them concluded with Lin Yuan dislocating the assailant's jaw. On Fang's side, his phone displayed an ongoing call; evidently, someone else wanted him to see this footage.
After a few seconds of silence following the end of the clip, he finally spoke up. "Is this how you want to help me solve my troubles? Qing She, your people have been captured."
This isn't about letting him see how his troubles are resolved; it's about directly shoving his face into embarrassment. To be caught by the police like this—what else could it be but irony? I remember you never had any dealings with the police before.
Unlike them, Azure Serpent only rises from among the wanted criminals within the police department. The best he can offer them is a guarantee of continuous profit while ensuring they won't be caught by the authorities. This has been the only time it ended so disastrously.
It seems he truly is a tough nut to crack. A voice, neither male nor female, came through the voice changer, but it sounded rather calm.
It's fine; I don't intend to deal with this person anymore. If we lose him, we lose him. Lin Yuan might not be willing to let him die.
Azure Serpent interrupted him. He'll die on his own; we don't need to lift a finger.
With that assurance, I felt relieved. Now we can finally think carefully about our plan against Lin Yuan together.
Once again, before he could finish speaking, Azure Serpent interrupted him. This was just a miscalculation in my assessment of his strength; there's no need to worry about that. I've already returned your investment, but the other party has a request.
What request?
They want to meet and discuss with us.
Indeed, when it comes to matters regarding Lin Yuan, this is quite important. However, when he posed this question, Mr. Fang didn't respond immediately, and Azure Serpent remained patient.
After cooperating for so long, there's no need to suddenly insist on a meeting now. They certainly don't want to expose themselves, which is why they have capable people under them. If there's any threat to themselves, whether it's him or anyone else, their first thought would be to eliminate that risk.
I understand what you mean, but the other party has made it clear that if their conditions aren't met, then cooperation can be terminated afterward.
Nothing is ever one-sided, Azure Serpent; I shouldn't have to teach you that. Even if they don't want to cooperate with us anymore, we can find other channels ourselves.
Threats? He hasn't faced a shortage of those from the past until now.
Since you've put it that way, I'll take it as your stance.
Yes, you still need to pay attention to Lin Yuan's situation; don't think I'm being alarmist. You know I’m not someone who likes to exaggerate things.
They established their cooperation knowing each other's secrets. Although Mr. Fang was leading the way, he didn’t want to be the one pushed out like a sacrificial lamb.
The Green Serpent paused for a moment before finally responding with a simple "good."
Haishi was not his territory, but if Mr. Fang spoke like that, he could resort to some illegal means if necessary. The only injured person at the police station was the assassin who had been stopped by Lin Yuan; the weapon he used had already been collected, and he was still lying in the emergency room. As for the poison in his mouth, it had already been removed.
For the sake of these two individuals at the bar, Lü Zhigang and Nan Feng had spent two nights working on this, so they didn’t stay with Lin Yuan but directly called Bai Ling over.
Having grown accustomed to staying up late, Bai Ling looked much more energetic at night than during the day.
"Do you know who’s targeting you?"
The person had already been sent to the hospital, and Lin Yuan was now left in Bai Ling's office. She thoughtfully handed him a cup of coffee, but Lin Yuan had no intention of drinking it.
He still didn’t know; perhaps he had offended someone in the district. At this moment, there wasn’t a clear suspect in Lin Yuan's mind. Many people in Haishi were being watched, but they generally wouldn’t resort to such extreme measures as gun violence unless they were dealing with someone formidable.
"Staying in the district is troublesome for you. Have you considered moving over to our side?" This was his invitation to Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan thought about Captain Zhang over there; his presence was indeed causing trouble for them. However, seeing that Lin Yuan was still somewhat hesitant, Bai Ling didn’t force him to make a decision right away.
"Think it over carefully. This person is a wanted criminal by our police department; here’s his information." Bai Ling took out a document and continued, "The organization he belongs to is called Red Blood. They have a mixed group of people; you might want to take a look."
Since they were targeting Lin Yuan, he couldn’t let his own people be unprepared.
"Thank you," Lin Yuan said sincerely.
