Chapter 1689 - 1702: Deep Into the Tiger’s Den

Chapter 1689: Chapter 1702: Deep Into the Tiger’s Den

The first floor was a hall, the decor was quite ordinary. Due to his professional habit, Liu Genyou instinctively surveyed the surroundings, and what he saw made the Director’s heart leap to his throat. The load-bearing columns, the walls, and even the staircase leading to the upper floor were all equipped with remote bombs. The beeping sound was like a death knell, and Liu Genyou’s cold sweat immediately soaked through his vest.

"Lin Mu, did you see that?"

Liu Genyou took a deep breath and whispered softly.

"Of course, I saw it!"

Lin Mu swallowed, eyes fixed on the reception desk.

There stood a woman, or rather, a woman with a hot figure and a captivatingly charming face. A fiery red short dress outlined her curvaceous and voluptuous silhouette; two snow-white long legs gently crossed together, plump and straight yet not losing their fleshy appeal. The woman wasn’t short to begin with, and with a pair of Roman-style high-heeled sandals, she stood almost eye-to-eye with Lin Mu.

"You, you stupid kid, I’m talking about the bombs! What are you looking at!"

Noticing Lin Mu’s behavior, Liu Genyou’s face turned red with anger.

At a time like this, he still had the energy to look at women - really, didn’t know if this guy was courageous or born with a nerve missing...

"Uncle, I’m also looking at the bombs!"

Lin Mu wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth, eyes gleaming.

Generally speaking, a perfect leggy girl with nine heads high usually has a connection with ’airport flatness,’ but the woman approaching was an exception. The gently swaying business line, those white-hot deep rifts, all indicated that her magnificence was definitely above a D-cup.

Liu Genyou: "..."

He suddenly regretted coming with Lin Mu.

At this moment, Qing Niang had already stepped forward, squinting her eyes, sizing up the two of them, and then uttered a word from her crimson lips, "Strip!"

"Young girl, coming to negotiate is already enough to show the police’s sincerity. Making us remove our bulletproof vests is a bit much!"

Liu Genyou frowned, about to speak again when Qing Niang suddenly kicked him in the abdomen. Although he had two layers of bulletproof vests to reduce the impact, Liu Genyou’s face turned pale instantly, stumbling back three steps before he managed to stop.

"You don’t have the right to negotiate with me. Either strip, or die!"

"You, good!" Liu Genyou broke out in a sweat, took a deep breath, suppressed the pain, and gritted his teeth as he started removing his bulletproof vest. Seeing him compromise, Qing Niang smiled with satisfaction and shifted her gaze to Lin Mu, "You too must..."

However, mid-sentence, she suddenly couldn’t continue.

The man in front of her, for some reason, had already removed all his gear – bulletproof vest, dagger, the police-issue gun holstered at his waist, and even his T-shirt was off. Now, he sat bare-chested on the floor, grunting as he untied his shoelaces, seemingly intending to remove his socks too...

"Idiot! I told you to remove your gear, not to strip naked! Put your clothes back on!"

"Uh, you should’ve said so earlier; I’ve been busy for nothing." Lin Mu awkwardly touched his nose, lifted his head again, and said quietly, "However, as an outstanding bandit, your actions lack professional integrity! Not even frisking, let alone stripping clothes - what if there’s a deadly weapon hidden in my underwear? Meimei, why don’t you come and check? It’s alright; I don’t mind being frisked by a beautiful woman. Search wherever you want!"

Qing Niang: "..."

Liu Genyou: "..."

Lin Mu’s strong desire to be searched was ultimately not realized, and after being kicked twice by Qing Niang, he obediently put his clothes back on. Immediately, the three headed upstairs. Lin Mu hung his head, lost in thought, while Liu Genyou was filled with anxiety. In just a few short flights of stairs, he had spotted no fewer than twenty bombs. These bombs might not be very powerful, but they were set at crucial points of the building’s structure. If detonated all at once, the entire building would surely collapse into rubble within ten seconds.

Soon, the trio reached the fifth floor.

Qing Niang pushed open a door, revealing a spacious room.

This was a meeting room, very large, with tables and chairs pushed to the corners. About a dozen hostages with their hands and feet bound, sat pale-faced at the base of the walls on both sides, Liu A Zhen, Sun Yan, and Zhang Man among them. However, they appeared to have been treated favorably, with no ropes restraining them.

"Dad! Lin Mu!" Upon seeing the two, Liu A Zhen brightened up and was about to stand up, only to be kicked back down by Golden Egg.

"What are you doing to her; she’s just a child!"

"Ah Zhen, are you alright?" Sun Yan and Zhang Man’s faces changed simultaneously, one glare at Golden Egg, the other hurriedly hugged Liu A Zhen, checking her over.

"Haha, Director Liu sure has good fortune. Both of your wives are not only beautiful but your daughter is quite the lovely beauty too."

Saint Master waved his hand to gesture Golden Egg to back away, stood up with a grin, and looked at Liu Genyou.

"It’s you?" Upon seeing him, Liu Genyou’s pupils involuntarily became pinprick-like.

Others might not know, but he knew that the brutal dismemberment case years ago was actually committed by two individuals: one being the assassinated Evil Ghost, and the other being the Saint Master standing before him. The latter had narrowly escaped during that time, and in order to swiftly quell the adverse social impact, Liu Genyou was compelled by pressure from above to close the case.

Though the incident happened many years ago, Liu Genyou had never forgotten this person.

Because, this Saint Master was even more vicious and terrifying than the Evil Ghost back then!

"Never thought the busy Director Liu would remember someone like me, really feel honored."

"Enough with the nonsense!" Liu Genyou took a deep breath, eyes blazing as he looked at Saint Master: "What do you want, to let them go!"

"Heh, it’s been years, Director Liu aged quite a bit, but that temper hasn’t changed much."

Saint Master chuckled and said, "Let me be blunt; the first reason for this visit is to settle some old scores with you using my two brothers, and secondly, I heard that Director Liu recently cracked a drug bust, and I’m very interested in what you seized. So, within half an hour, I hope it’s placed before me. Is there a problem?"

Sun Yan’s expression shifted slightly, squinting subtly, while Liu Genyou frowned. Due to certain reasons, the East Suburb Factory operation’s outcome had been strictly classified, internally issued with a gag order, and outwardly announced as a flawlessly executed police operation...
