Chapter 16: Qin Chuan, Your Skills Are Absolutely Incredible
Qin Chuan spat out a mouthful of blood and looked toward Gui Jianchou.
“How’s it going? Is it easy to earn the million by killing me?”
Gui Jianchou narrowed his triangular eyes, his crimson tongue licking his lips in a circle. His fierce glare was unhidden, greed laid bare.
“I want to give it a try!”
Try? Heh heh.
Qin Chuan also wanted to try—to see if he could take down his opponent before he was completely drained.
Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle!
However, just as the two were about to engage, the sharp sound of police sirens came from afar.
Reinforcements had finally arrived.
Gui Jianchou, ready to charge forward, immediately halted, glancing at the flashing police lights in the distance.
“Longguo police, consider yourself lucky!”
With that, he paid no mind to the groaning Dong Zhijun on the ground and took off running.
Qin Chuan wanted to give chase, but the severe exhaustion, blood loss, and weakness from overusing the Sinful Eye left him dizzy and nearly collapsing.
But escaping wouldn’t be so easy.
Just as Gui Jianchou was about to leave, Qin Chuan sent out a Hundred-Mile Tracking!
As long as the man didn’t get beyond a hundred miles from him, Qin Chuan would eventually have a chance to catch him.
Gritting his teeth against the pain, Qin Chuan struggled toward the explosives depot.
He needed to check on Old Hu’s condition.
But no more than a few steps in, darkness swallowed him.
“Qin Chuan! Qin Chuan!”
Before plunging into the darkness, a smile appeared at the corner of Qin Chuan’s mouth.
It sounded like Old Hu’s voice...
When Wang Xuebing arrived at the scene, he was utterly shocked by what he saw.
Over a dozen men lay sprawled on the ground, wailing in misery.
Their arms and legs were twisted at unnatural angles.
One figure looked somewhat familiar and fared the worst.
His face was drenched in blood, surrounded by a dozen teeth scattered around, with both cheeks marked by bright red palm prints.
“All this was done by him?”
When Wang Xuebing reached the scene, he saw the bloodied Old Hu holding the barely conscious Qin Chuan, surrounded by a dozen groaning burly men.
Old Hu had been struck with a brick by Dong Zhijun but was not in mortal danger—though he was a bit dazed at the time.
After recovering for a moment, he headed toward the square, just in time to see Qin Chuan about to collapse.
“Probably. There’s no one else here.”
“What caused the conflict?”
“Qin Chuan said these two were wanted criminals. When we tried to arrest them, they escaped and violently resisted the law…”
Hu Jianguo recounted what he knew.
“Old Hu… you’re alright…”
As he spoke, Qin Chuan finally regained consciousness in Old Hu’s arms.

“I’m fine, I’m fine. How about you?”
At this moment, Qin Chuan was covered in blood, a swallow dart still embedded in his shoulder.
“I’m fine too…”
“Director, you’ve arrived.” Seeing Wang Xuebing, Qin Chuan quickly said, “There’s an underground casino inside.”
“Three female students were imprisoned in the basement.”
“There were also skeletal remains in the mining tunnel behind the mountain…”
“Director, everyone has been arrested… all of them…”
Before he could say much more, Qin Chuan’s head drooped, and he fainted again.

When Qin Chuan woke again, the scent of disinfectant filled his nostrils.
He struggled to open his eyes, revealing a young nurse.
“You’re awake?”
Her soft and sweet voice enveloped Qin Chuan like a gentle caress.
“Where… am I?”
“At the county hospital. Rest well, don’t move. I’ll call the doctor.”
The doctor arrived shortly after, accompanied by Old Hu.
“You finally woke up!”
Joy uncontrollably lingered in Old Hu’s voice.
Old Hu’s head was wrapped in a large coil of bandages, making him look somewhat comical, like a mummy.
“Old Hu?”
Ignoring the sharp pain from his wounds, Qin Chuan struggled to sit up.
“Are you alright?”
“Lie down properly!” Old Hu hurried forward and pressed down on Qin Chuan’s shoulder to keep him from rising. “I just got hit on the head with a brick by Dong Zhijun. It’s nothing.”
“But you, the doctor said you have seven stab wounds and lost a lot of blood!”
“You’re reckless!”
Relieved that Old Hu was fine, Qin Chuan finally exhaled deeply.
Old Hu was only three years from retirement; if something had happened to him now…
“What about Dong Zhijun and the others?”
“Don’t worry, none of them got away.”
It turned out that after Old Hu reported to Wang Xuebing, the gravity of the situation was clear.
Since the Changning Town police station was short on manpower, Wang Xuebing immediately reported to Lin Hu.
Shortly after Wang’s arrival yesterday noon, the county public security bureau’s main force showed up.
Some of the people Qin Chuan had knocked down were fugitives; some were wanted criminals.
They were all arrested on the spot.
“They’re all being held at the county public security bureau. I heard the city authorities were alerted, and last night officers from the municipal bureau arrived overnight.”
Qin Chuan let out a long sigh of relief.
As long as none escaped, it was good.
The only regret was about that Gui Jianchou.
---
Sinfulness value over 200…
After the doctor finished examining Qin Chuan and confirmed there was nothing seriously wrong, he advised him to rest well and left.
Soon after, Wang Xuebing and the entire team arrived at Qin Chuan’s hospital room.
Zhang Jun squeezed Qin Chuan’s right hand. “I said, are you some kind of immortal?”
“How did you know those two were serious criminals?”
Qin Chuan smiled wryly. He wasn’t an immortal, but he was a damn lucky bastard.
“That guy named Li Hu has a blood mole on his forehead. A couple of days ago, while filing documents, I saw a joint investigation report from Beihang City. The photo wasn’t clear, but I recognized that mole.”
Sun Bingkun looked envious.
“Qin Chuan, your skills are incredible!”
Old Hu had not been present during the fight, and Qin Chuan was unconscious at the time, but Zhang Jun and the others had obtained surveillance footage from the scene.
That’s how they realized just how amazing Qin Chuan was.
One man, fighting over twenty people—and winning them all.
Is that even human?
“You’re way too reckless. There were so many of them. What if something had happened to you…”
Wang Xuebing was truly scared inside.
As the director, his perspective was different.
Qin Chuan faced more than twenty opponents.
If anything had gone wrong…
Qin Chuan smiled. “They were just a bunch of rabble, not worth mentioning.”
“By the way, Director Wang, how’s the follow-up on the case going?”
“You don’t have to worry about that.”
Wang Xuebing patted Qin Chuan on the shoulder. “Xin Hai Mining is completely finished. The remains in the mountain tunnel you told me about have been found, and the imprisoned university students have been rescued.”
“And the underground casino has been shut down.”
“The case is now in the hands of the municipal bureau.”
The municipal bureau…
That made things easier.
“By the way, Director Wang, did you catch someone named Gui Jianchou, a Miaodi native?”
“Miaodi native?”
Wang Xuebing shook his head. “Never heard of any Miaodi native.”
“The last person who fought me.”
“Last? No, we didn’t find anyone. The place where you passed out was a blind spot on the surveillance cameras. No one else was seen.”
A chill sank into Qin Chuan’s heart.
He had already checked the system—there was no trace of Gui Jianchou with the Hundred-Mile Tracking.
The police hadn’t caught him either.
That guy definitely escaped.
