Seeing Qin Yang locked in a fierce battle with the three "ground rats" in the arena, a faint smile finally appeared on Qin Chuan's icy face.
Qin Er Ge was also excited, clenching his fists.
"Xiao Chuan, although your method is radical, it's undeniably the most effective!"
"Our boss is truly too timid, he needs this kind of tempering!"
Qin Chuan responded noncommittally, then surprisingly turned and walked towards a nearby shadow, pulling out his phone to call someone.
By the time Qin Chuan finished his call and returned, the battle in the arena had already concluded.
The once energetic and fierce three "ground rats" were now lying on the ground, exhausted as if they had just been fished out of water, dripping wet, mouths agape, panting heavily, like three huskies.
As for Qin Yang, his expression was unchanged. He stood there calmly, leaning on the straight saber with one hand, his face not flushed and his breathing not labored.
Qin Chuan scanned the scene and roughly guessed everything. Although still somewhat disappointed, he could only sigh inwardly.
Qin Yang had done quite well tonight!
He would be slowly trained further in the future!
However, while Qin Chuan harbored some disappointment, he failed to notice that everyone standing around, except for Qin Er Ge, was looking at Qin Yang as if he were a monster.
This included Zheng Cheng Dao, Yao Dong, and Bai Xiao Guang.
Everyone seemed to have discovered something incredible, their gazes fixed on Qin Yang with a mix of surprise, doubt, shock, disbelief, fear, and apprehension.
"Bring those two over to me!"
Qin Chuan pointed at Si Yan and Huo Lun, then turned and walked towards the small bungalow not far away.
A few minutes later, Si Yan and Huo Lun, their faces covered in blood and their arms broken, were brought in. Bai Xiao Guang and San Mao stood at the doorway like divine guardians.
The two men appeared panicked, filled with unease and anxiety.
As soon as they entered, they both knelt on the ground, shouting for mercy.
Qin Chuan lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and exhaled forcefully, the smoke hitting their faces.
"Do you remember our bet from earlier?"
Si Yan and Huo Lun nodded frantically, fearing that any delay would lead to terrible consequences.
"Very good, then I will ask questions now!"
Qin Chuan said expressionlessly.
"Remember, I need truthful answers, not fabricated ones. If you dare to hide anything, or omit even one detail, I will break one of your fingers!"
Si Yan nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
"First, where do those 'ground rats' outside come from?"
Si Yan answered without hesitation, "They are from the Wild Wolf Gang in Lin Cheng. The Guo family specifically hired them to deal with you, to get revenge for you breaking Guo Bao Kun's leg last time!"
"The leader is called Big Dog..."
Si Yan seemed genuinely terrified and immediately blurted out the origin of the "ground rats" outside.
"The Guo family and the Wild Wolf Gang have known each other for a long time, what kind of business do they conduct?"
Qin Chuan asked again, then pointed at Huo Lun, "You answer!"
Huo Lun, whose face was disfigured and nose bridge broken, looked rather comical. He didn't dare to delay, and quickly said, "The Guo family and the Wild Wolf Gang have known each other for over three years!"
"They do have business dealings. Many of the young women the Guo family keeps are bought from the Wild Wolf Gang."
"Bought?"
Qin Chuan was very sensitive to this word. His dark eyes narrowed slightly. "I have reliable information that this Wild Wolf Gang is often involved in kidnapping women."
"With such close ties between the Guo family and the Wild Wolf Gang, are they also involved in this trade?"
"This..."
Si Yan's expression became hesitant. Qin Chuan noticed this, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes. He said coldly, "Brother Paigu, break one of his fingers!"
Bai Xiao Guang, who had been guarding the door, heard this and immediately pulled out a dart from his怀. He bent down, grabbed Si Yan's arm, and was about to plunge it in.
Si Yan was terrified. "No! I'll tell you! I'll tell you everything!"
Huo Lun beside him was also terrified and trembled all over.
Qin Chuan waved his hand, and Bai Xiao Guang regretfully withdrew his hand. He hadn't had a chance to use his darts tonight, which was a great pity.
"Yes! The Guo family is indeed involved in the trade of kidnapping women!"
Si Yan confessed, and after saying this, he nearly collapsed to the ground, as if all his energy had been drained.
Because he knew that after answering this question, he had completely severed ties with the Guo family. He would never be able to return to the Guo family, and moreover, he would become their sworn enemy.
Qin Chuan was very satisfied with this answer, and a brilliant smile appeared on his face.
The Guo family was truly courting death. Running private casinos, keeping mistresses, and engaging in loan sharking was one thing, but they even dared to traffic people. No one, not even the King of Heaven, could save them from such a heinous crime.
"I heard the Guo family is very close to our county secretary. Do you know anything about their situation?"
Qin Chuan asked again, "Si Yan, you answer!"
"I'm not very clear about this!"
Si Yan shook his head. "But as far as I know, Guo Guang visits the secretary during festivals. Zhao Guang handles all of this personally and doesn't allow us to follow."
This answer was quite telling. Guo Guang was indeed involved with that secretary, and their relationship seemed to be very deep.
Just as Qin Chuan was about to ask something else, car sounds suddenly came from outside, and vehicles were approaching, more than one.
Upon hearing the commotion, the corners of Qin Chuan's mouth curled upwards, and he murmured softly, "They're finally here!"
With that, he stood up and walked out of the bungalow.
Outside, everyone's attention was drawn to the two cars that had suddenly appeared in the dead of night, as it was already very late, past one in the morning.
Who would come to this abandoned cannery at this hour?
Under the watchful, suspicious, and guarded gazes, the two cars stopped, and their doors opened. Two people alighted from each.
Upon clearly seeing the faces of the newcomers, many people's eyeballs bulged outwards, their expressions filled with disbelief, as if they had witnessed something extraordinary.
"County Magistrate Ye... County Magistrate Ye!!"
"Secretary Wang?"
"And the Deputy Director of the Public Security Bureau, Zhou Congrong, Captain Xiao!"
These four individuals practically represented the highest positions in Yongnan County. To think they would all arrive at this abandoned cannery in the middle of the night.
Who had notified them?
While everyone was wondering, Qin Chuan had already stepped out of the bungalow and strode towards the four men.
"County Magistrate Ye!"
"Director Zhou!"
"And Secretary Wang, Captain Xiao, I am truly sorry to trouble you all to make this trip so late at night. Apologies! Apologies!"
Qin Chuan shook hands with the four men with a smile. Except for Zhou Congrong, the other three were old acquaintances.
Seeing Qin Chuan's disingenuous apology, the three of them inwardly rolled their eyes.
"You rascal, you're truly a troublemaker!"
"Disturbing people's dreams in the middle of the night, forcing the four of us to stay up late tonight!"
Ye Qingping said to Qin Chuan.
"If you don't give us a satisfactory explanation tonight, you can expect to be made to suffer later!"
Qin Chuan quickly waved his hands. "No! County Magistrate Ye has a magnanimous heart and a broad mind. How could you stoop to the petty squabbles of a commoner like me."
"Humph!"
An discordant cold snort came from the side.
Xiao Guodong said coldly, "Boss Qin, you are no longer a commoner. You are a rising star renowned throughout our county!"
"Look at this scene before you. Does it look like something a commoner would create?"
"And you even brought weapons. What, do you intend to cause a death?"
