Chapter 13

Xu Yun indeed did not guess wrong; Chou Yan had been hiding not far from the medicinal cuisine shop all along. No wonder she could come to the rescue so promptly in the afternoon. Who would have thought that the mighty Violent Fox Lord would have such deep affection for a little girl.

After Xu Yun returned home, he did not sit down to meditate as usual but instead pulled out a gray-green backpack from under his bed. Xu Yun opened the backpack, and various kinds of exquisite medicines spilled onto the floor.

He quickly found a golden-purple porcelain bottle. He had already noticed that Chou Yan's forehead was dark and lifeless. Perhaps only this could help her prolong her life. If it weren't for Guo Guo, Xu Yun wouldn't have taken such a valuable item to save a fox lord who was renowned in the underground world.

After leaving home, Xu Yun soon arrived at the three-story small hotel where Chou Yan was staying. He lightly tapped his foot and leaped up to the window of the third-floor corridor, his movements as smooth as flowing clouds, completely silent!

There were over a dozen rooms on the third floor of the hotel, and Xu Yun walked quietly to the first one, pressing his ear to the door.

"Ah! Husband, hurry up, hurry up! Mmm!"

"Mmm mmm mmm!"

Damn! Do they have to be so enthusiastic! What if the neighbors hear! Xu Yun cursed under his breath, rubbed his ears, and moved to the second room.

"Snore... Snore... Snore... Snore..."

The snoring was like a thunderclap! Sleeping so soundly, no wonder the wild moans from the next room didn't affect him at all.

Xu Yun went straight to the third room and pressed his ear to the door, but heard not a single sound inside. The silence was terrifying!

The "Do Not Disturb" sign hanging on the doorknob usually meant either a couple was having an affair or someone was using drugs. But these two scenarios clearly didn't have the skill to hide their presence so well. Only the fox lord Chou Yan could control her aura to such a degree.

"I know you're inside," Xu Yun smiled slightly. "I've brought you something. If you think it's useful, you can try it."

There was no response from inside, not a sound. This fox was really cautious. But if this continued, even Xu Yun's miraculous skills wouldn't be able to save her.

Xu Yun leaned against the door. "I'm doing this out of good will, don't take it for granted."

There was still no response from inside.

"I'm doing this for Guo Guo's sake." Xu Yun was frustrated; this was like offering a warm face to a cold ass.

There was still no response from inside.

"Fine, I won't waste my breath on a cow." Xu Yun placed the small bottle from his pocket on the ground. "I've left it at the door. If you trust me, take it. If not, throw it away. But this is the best I can do to help you prolong your life. If you don't get treated soon, you won't have a chance to live."

With that, Xu Yun turned and left.

As soon as Xu Yun left the small hotel, the door opened a crack.

Chou Yan stood at the door, her face expressionless. She used her slender fingers to pick up the medicine bottle Xu Yun had left. Was he really doing this for Guo Guo's sake? Or out of pity for a dying person?

Chou Yan gently opened the bottle, and her slender fingers flicked the bottle's mouth. A special, rich scent wafted into her nose, and her originally fierce gaze suddenly became extremely surprised!

"Nine Treasure Soul Restoring Pill!?" Chou Yan exclaimed. How could that guy have such a precious and rare medicine!

Chou Yan couldn't wait any longer. She pulled open the door and quickly ran to the end of the corridor. The window at the end of the corridor was wide open, but Xu Yun was nowhere to be seen.

Chou Yan looked at the precious medicine in her hand, her curiosity about Xu Yun growing even more.

After receiving the call from Qin Wan'er about the casino being shut down and requesting support, the Wenhui District police station took it very seriously. Deputy Chief Ma personally took charge!

When the team arrived at the scene, they were all extremely surprised! Deputy Chief Ma, who was in his forties, had never seen such a big case in his life!

"Qin, you've really done a great job for the station this time!" Deputy Chief Ma couldn't help but praise her. "You caught so many criminals in the afternoon, and now you've shut down a gambling den. I really can't compare to you."

"This is all thanks to Chief Ma's leadership!" Officer Xiao Wu flattered. "Sister Wan'er has achieved such great results under your wise leadership!"

"Hehe, don't say that, or Chief Liu and Instructor Chen will hear!" Deputy Chief Ma was very clear about his position as the third in command. "You should learn from Qin, talk less and do more!"

"Chief Ma's advice is well taken!" Xiao Wu nodded and smiled.

Qin Wan'er never flattered, so she didn't respond. "Xiao Wu, get to work. There are so many pieces of evidence to take back."

"Sure thing!"

Over a hundred gambling devices and twenty-three suspects were all taken back to the station, including Lu Bao, who had broken the window to steal money.

Chief Ma ordered that the suspects be interrogated overnight to bring them to justice. However, due to Qin Wan'er's outstanding performance, she was allowed to go home and rest for the night, and the other tasks were assigned to the on-duty officers.

Qin Wan'er was indeed a bit tired, and she found the interrogations uninteresting, so she followed the orders and rode home to rest. However, while waiting at a traffic light on Bowen Street, a bag suddenly fell from the sky!

Immediately, her vision went dark, and her hands were suddenly restrained! No matter how she struggled, she couldn't escape being tied up! Then she heard several voices, and she was thrown into a car.

"You dare to assault a police officer!" Qin Wan'er shouted.

But the response was a cold knife pressed against her neck. "Shut up! What's a police officer? Even the Jade Emperor, I'd dare to assault!"

Qin Wan'er knew she had encountered a reckless thug, so she didn't say anything more. In police school, her teachers had said that in such situations, one must remain calm, calm, and calm again. Only by staying calm could one think of better strategies!

The car drove for about half an hour before stopping.

"Whoosh—" Qin Wan'er heard the car door open.

"Boss, I've brought the person."

"Hmm." A hoarse voice sounded extremely cold.

Qin Wan'er felt her pocket empty as her phone was taken away.

Soon, the hoarse voice laughed coldly and dialed a number with Qin Wan'er's phone.

...

Xu Yun had just left the small hotel where Chou Yan was hiding when he received a call from Qin Wan'er. He was a bit puzzled: "What, are you inviting me to dinner to thank me?"

"Hmph, I really need to thank you." A hoarse voice with a hint of coldness replied.

Xu Yun was slightly taken aback. Why was Qin Wan'er's call answered by a man? His sixth sense told him that this was not a good sign: "Who are you?"

"Qin Wan'er is in my hands. If you don't want anything to happen to her, you'd better be polite to me." The hoarse voice became more grating. "You dared to touch my casino, don't you know your place?"

Xu Yun fell silent. He had given the tip about the gambling den to Qin Wan'er out of good will, but now it had turned into a bad situation. It seemed that Qin Wan'er had gotten into a big trouble because of his gift. He regretted not staying longer at the scene on Bowen Street.

"What do you mean? Speak up, I'm listening." Xu Yun knew the person on the phone was not friendly, so he got straight to the point.

"You beat up Old Four in the afternoon, and they were all arrested by the police! Then you came back in the evening and beat up San Pao, shut down my place, and called the police." The voice on the phone snorted. "You're really the bane of the Four Wolf Gang. Don't you want to meet me and explain yourself?"

Xu Yun understood what the person meant and didn't beat around the bush. "Fine, where do you want to meet?"

"At the abandoned rubber factory by the Si River, at the border between the southern suburbs of Hedong City and the northern suburbs of Jinan City." The voice on the phone became even hoarser, and a sinister feeling arose. "And don't try any tricks! Come quickly, I can't guarantee that all my men can control their desires! If anything happens, don't blame me, blame the little police officer for being too pretty!"

"Alright, I'll be there soon. Leave a way out." Xu Yun felt a strong urge to kill rise in his heart. "It's better to leave a way out for a conversation."

"Hmph, you should have left a way out for me." The person snorted and hung up, the dial tone sounding particularly grating in the night.

Xu Yun was also puzzled about what had happened. He quickly hailed a taxi. At this late hour, going to a remote area usually cost a lot, and the driver had to be the type who would risk anything for money.

The abandoned rubber factory wasn't closed because of bankruptcy but because of severe pollution of the Si River. The leaders of Hedong City and Jinan City didn't want this beautiful ancient river to be polluted.

When they reached the destination, the taxi driver was already nervous. He had already earned his money and just wanted to leave as soon as possible. As soon as Xu Yun got out of the car, the taxi sped away.

It was late at night, and the abandoned rubber factory was eerily quiet.

After getting out of the car, Xu Yun walked about a mile before he saw the dimly lit rubber factory. Following the light, he could faintly hear some boisterous laughter, indicating that there were quite a few people inside.

In the courtyard of the rubber factory, there was a Passat, a Haval SUV, a Great Wall pickup truck, an old Buick minivan, and several other vehicles. Among them was Qin Wan'er's imposing police motorcycle.

There was no one in the courtyard, and it seemed that the other side was not worried about being ambushed. After all, they had Qin Wan'er in their hands, so they believed Xu Yun wouldn't act rashly.

Xu Yun walked straight to the rusted iron door of the factory and pushed it open with a creak.
