Chapter 25: A mere police officer like you dares to arrest me?
It was impossible to enter through the front door. The floor where these two men were located required a specific key card for the elevator, and there was certainly someone keeping watch. Although he could fight his way up, by the time he reached the top, the victims might have already been violated. Even now, that wretch Sun Tao was already unbuttoning his clothes.
Qin Chuan looked up at the facade of the Red Pavilion. Each floor had protruding balconies, which were perfect for climbing. Stepping back a few paces, he took a running start, grabbed the first-floor balcony, and then scrambled upward like a monkey. In just a few breaths, he reached the top floor. A young boy standing by the roadside, looking up at the moon, happened to see Qin Chuan scaling the building with his bare hands as if walking on flat ground.
"Mom! Look, Spider-Man!"
"Yes, yes, Mommy will buy you a Spider-Man toy when we get home..."
Bang! Qin Chuan had already pinpointed Sun Tao's room while downstairs. With a heavy kick, he shattered the glass and entered. The impatient Sun Tao had his pants half-down; hearing the explosive sound, he broke into a cold sweat, and his manhood immediately shriveled. "Who's there!"
Qin Chuan stepped out from behind the velvet curtains.
"It's you!" Sun Tao could never have imagined that Qin Chuan would appear here.
"Brother Qin! Help me!" The young girl’s voice was hoarse, but her eyes ignited with unprecedented hope. Jiang Yaoyao had already descended into despair. She had even resolved to wait for a chance to bite off Sun Tao’s tongue and then jump from the building. She never expected that in her darkest moment, the police officer who used to make her heart race and her face flush at the county hospital would appear!
"Secretary Sun, didn't see this coming, did you?"
"You..." Sun Tao was both shocked and furious.
Crack! Before he could finish, Qin Chuan delivered a resounding slap. Two teeth mixed with blood sprayed out. Qin Chuan did not hold back at all. Having consumed the Great Strength Vajra Pill, his physical constitution had tripled, making him even more formidable than he had been at the Xinhai Mine.
After Sun Tao’s eyes swam with stars and he lost the ability to act, Qin Chuan grabbed a fruit knife from the coffee table and walked to the bed, cutting the ropes binding Jiang Yaoyao. Once free, she threw herself into Qin Chuan's arms, sobbing uncontrollably. "Brother Qin... wuwuwu..."
"It's alright, it's alright. Call the police first; I still have to go save the others."
Without time to dwell on the young girl's embrace, Qin Chuan set off to save the person in Song Hui's room. His "Hundred-Mile Tracking" could only show the situation around Sun Tao; he didn't know how far things had progressed with Song Hui. But he had to be fast. It had only been three minutes since they entered the rooms. There should still be time!
***
Bang! Kicking open the door to Song Hui's room, Qin Chuan appeared in the hallway.
"Who goes there?" Wang Lang felt that these last few years were the only ones worth living. Ever since he had been wanted for rape and murder in Beizhou three years ago, he hadn't spent a single day in peace. He had spent half a year hiding and running. Now, with the backing of the Xinhai conglomerate, he was living the high life, occasionally grabbing a few young girls—life couldn't be more comfortable. Sometimes, however, Wang Lang regretted not studying harder. If he had, he could have been a corrupt official. He wouldn't need to steal money; people would bring it to him. He wouldn't need to chase women; they would be delivered to him.
Today, there were only two guests upstairs. But this man was clearly not one of them. Where did he come from? Qin Chuan snorted coldly and lunged forward. Crack! Splat! The ear-piercing sound of bone breaking made one's teeth ache. With time of the essence, Qin Chuan did not hold back. Before Wang Lang could react, he snapped his arms and delivered a hand-strike to the carotid artery, instantly incapacitating him.
He found the room where Song Hui was and kicked the door in! Song Hui, startled by the noise, nearly died of fright. "It's you!" Looking up, he saw it was Qin Chuan! How could he be here? Qin Chuan glanced at the bed and saw, as expected, a girl bound hand and foot. Unlike Sun Tao, Song Hui was slower; he had taken off his clothes, but hadn't yet laid a hand on her.
"Qin Chuan!" The familiar yet strange voice made Qin Chuan pause. How did the girl on the bed know his name? Just as he was about to step forward to see her face, Song Hui blocked him. "Qin Chuan, what are you doing here? Get the hell out!"
Get out?! Qin Chuan sneered and grabbed Song Hui’s right hand. "Song Hui! You are suspected of rape, and I am placing you under arrest in accordance with the law!"
Arrest him? Song Hui almost laughed. "Qin Chuan, I don't care how you got here. But you, a tiny police station officer, want to arrest me, the Captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade?! Are you insane?"
Insane? Qin Chuan exerted force with his right hand. Crack!
"Ah!" Amidst Song Hui’s scream, Qin Chuan snapped his wrist. He was ruthless!
***
Song Hui's right palm folded against the inside of his forearm, the bone shards piercing the skin and exposed to the air.
"Ah! My hand!"
"Qin Chuan! You're looking for death! Who gave you the authority to run wild here! Do you know whose territory this is?"
Qin Chuan gritted his teeth! When he had broken Song Hui's wrist, he had seen who was on the bed. Li Xiaoyue! His ex-girlfriend, who had decisively broken up with him a week ago after learning he had been assigned as a common officer at the Changning Town Police Station!
Bang! He kicked Song Hui in the knee, forcing him to his knees, and said coldly, "You ask who gave me the authority? I'll tell you! It is the people! It is this police uniform I wear! It is the national emblem on my cap! I don't care whose territory this is; I only know this is the territory of the Dragon Kingdom! You are committing crimes here, raping women, and I will arrest you!"
After dealing with Song Hui, Qin Chuan walked to the bed and used the fruit knife from the table to cut the ropes on Li Xiaoyue. "Are you alright?" Even if a relationship ends, there's no need to become enemies. Besides, Qin Chuan could understand why Li Xiaoyue chose to break up with him. As a small-time officer, what kind of life could he provide? Looking back at his past life, her choice could be considered wise.
"Wuwuwu!" Li Xiaoyue didn't think that far ahead; she threw herself into Qin Chuan's arms and sobbed loudly! "Why did you take so long to come! Wuwuwu... I almost... was... wuwuwu..." After being kidnapped, the first man she thought of was Qin Chuan! She had desperately hoped he would descend from the heavens to save her. But reality had told her it was all in vain. She had accepted her fate. Heaven knows how moved she was when the door was kicked open and Qin Chuan appeared before her!
Song Hui, kneeling on the ground, endured the agony and struggled to crawl toward the coat rack where he had hung his clothes. He knew Qin Chuan was skilled, but could he be faster than a bullet? As the captain of the Zhulin County Criminal Investigation Brigade, he naturally had the authority to carry a service pistol at all times.
"Damn it, I'll send you pair of lovebirds to the afterlife!" Song Hui hadn't expected the girl to know Qin Chuan. But it didn't matter. Once he shot Qin Chuan, he would claim that Qin Chuan was attempting to rape the girl, that he had discovered him, and that Qin Chuan had resisted arrest with violence, causing him severe injury, leaving him no choice but to fire his weapon to save the victim! As for the girl... she was pretty, but it was a shame! He would stab her to death and say that Qin Chuan had killed her after failing to rape her. Since everyone would be dead, there would be no witnesses, and he could spin the story however he wanted.
