Chapter 1504 - 1489: Qin Shaobing

Mu Hong heard Lin Chuan's words and didn't show much anger or surprise. She calmly said, "Lin Chuan, thank you for being honest with me. It seems my sister didn't misjudge you."

Lin Chuan was taken aback and said, "Your sister, could it be that your sister is Mu Bai?"

Mu Hong smiled and said, "Of course."

Although Lin Chuan had earlier guessed that Mu Hong was Mu Bai's sister and had even asked her, she hadn't admitted it. Hearing Mu Hong personally confirm it now still shocked him.

Mu Hong continued, "Lin Chuan, there's something I need to tell you. When Mu Bai was in the United States, she registered a fund company and let my brother Mu Yuan manage it."

Lin Chuan had an inkling of what Mu Hong was about to reveal, and interjected, "You must be talking about the Chuanheng Fund."

Mu Hong was slightly surprised and said, "How did you know?"

Lin Chuan smiled bitterly and said, "I had someone investigate the money transferred from Chuanheng Fund to the Jiangbei City State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, but I never thought Mu Bai was the mastermind behind Chuanheng Fund."

Mu Hong said, "Before Mu Bai passed away, she told me that you gave her a fund of two hundred million. She intended to dedicate this money to charitable purposes, but to avoid causing you trouble in the future, she transferred the funds to the United States and registered a company in my brother Mu Yuan's name."

Lin Chuan was startled and asked, "Then how did you know there was an issue with this money on my side?"

Mu Hong raised her right hand, stroking it through her black long hair, and smiled sweetly, "As for that, forgive me for not revealing it. I can only tell you that the background of the Mu family is not as simple as you might think."

Even though Lin Chuan had a close relationship with Mu Bai, he never knew about Mu Bai's family background, nor had he ever asked her.

So when Mu Hong mentioned the complexity of the Mu family's background, Lin Chuan couldn't probe further and said, "Surely you didn't call me today just to tell me this?"

Mu Hong chuckled and said, "Lin Chuan is certainly Lin Chuan. I happened to learn that someone is targeting your Sichuan University Group; you should be cautious."

Lin Chuan frowned and asked Mu Hong, "Who is it?"

Mu Hong's expression turned serious, and she said, "Lin Chuan, I can't tell you that, but the forces behind them aren't something you can contend with."

Lin Chuan, who had been through much turmoil, wasn't afraid even if the forces behind those folks were mighty. He chuckled and said, "Thank you for your concern."

They chatted a bit more, and as Lin Chuan was about to take his leave, his phone rang.

Apologizing to Mu Hong, Lin Chuan answered the call.

As soon as he picked up, he heard Qin Shaobing's voice on the other end, "Is this Lin Chuan? Wu Yuanyuan and Huang Mengqi are in our hands. If you want to save their lives, come to Double Dragons Mountain."

Just as Lin Chuan wanted to respond, the other party had already hung up.

Having just left the massage parlor not even two hours ago, how did Wu Yuanyuan and the others get captured by Qin Shaobing? Lin Chuan hurriedly briefed Mu Hong and left the BBQ restaurant, heading straight to the massage parlor.

Rushing to the massage parlor, he entered to find the place in disarray, and Er Niu was still lying on the ground.

Lin Chuan quickly approached Er Niu, first checking his breath, which was normal, but he had fainted.

After propping Er Niu up, Lin Chuan slowly channeled a stream of inner qi into Er Niu's back, and within moments, Er Niu awoke with a start.

Upon awakening, Er Niu saw Lin Chuan and immediately shouted, "Brother Lin, hurry, a group took Wu Yuanyuan and Xiao Huang away."

Lin Chuan let out a wry smile and said, "I already know. Are you alright?"

Only then did Er Niu feel a sharp pain in his chest and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Lin Chuan supported Er Niu, helping him to an interior massage bed, saying, "Er Niu, you've suffered internal injuries. Rest here for a bit; I have to step out for a moment but will be back shortly."

Er Niu didn't resist, obediently lying down to rest.

After settling Er Niu, Lin Chuan walked out. Qin Shaobing was from Maoshan Tao. They captured Wu Yuanyuan and Huang Mengqi, clearly targeting him.

These bastards, they won't be let off lightly. Lin Chuan cursed inwardly.

Since Qin Shaobing had captured Wu Yuanyuan and Huang Mengqi not long ago, they must still be in East Sea County. Finding that guy might lead to finding the two women. With this in mind, Lin Chuan quickly left the massage parlor, though uncertain of Qin Shaobing's whereabouts.

In East Sea County, locating someone isn't easy. Perhaps there's only one person who can help him, Yang Biao.

Lin Chuan drove directly towards Yang Biao's company.

Halfway there, passing through a bustling intersection, there seemed to be some incident ahead that blocked the road.

Lin Chuan got out of the car to see what was happening and unexpectedly saw someone he recognized. It was none other than Meng Hui, the hoodlum he had encountered a few days ago.

"Meng Hui." Lin Chuan saw Meng Hui leading two lackeys walking nonchalantly, so he shouted.

Hearing someone calling him, Meng Hui turned around and saw it was Lin Chuan. His expression immediately became a bit unnatural. That day, he escorted Lin Chuan to Yang Biao, witnessing firsthand how Lin Chuan dealt with those security guards. He finally realized Lin Chuan was no ordinary person.

Being able to openly confront Yang Biao and take down several security guards in an instant, how could he be just an ordinary person?

"Brother Lin, where are you heading?" Meng Hui had changed his way of addressing Lin Chuan, plastering a smile and walking over.

Lin Chuan gave the kid a smile and said, "Meng Hui, I'm asking you about someone. Do you know Qin Shaobing?"

Meng Hui was slightly stunned, nodding quickly, "I know, who doesn't know him? He's just a spendthrift."

"Do you know where he lives?" Lin Chuan asked.

Meng Hui nodded repeatedly, "I know, I know."

Lin Chuan said, "Get in the car, now take me to find him."

Lin Chuan's tone was commanding. Meng Hui didn't dare to defy, jumped in the car, and let his two lackeys go off to have fun.

Unable to pass, Lin Chuan glanced at Meng Hui sitting in the front passenger seat and asked, "What's up ahead?"

Meng Hui pursed his lips and said, "Looks like a car hit an old lady, and the old lady's son is arguing with the driver about compensation."

Lin Chuan shook his head and said, "Which road can I take to reach Qin Shaobing the quickest?"

Meng Hui pointed to an alley on the left and said, "Go through that alley, and you'll be there in ten minutes."

Lin Chuan responded, turned the car around, and under Meng Hui's guidance, passed through the alley, reaching Qin Shaobing's residence in just a few minutes.

Just as Meng Hui described, Qin Shaobing was a typical rich second generation, which was evident from his house.

Qin Shaobing's residence was a standalone villa. Lin Chuan parked the car at the entrance, got out, and saw the gate firmly shut. He frowned slightly and said to Meng Hui, who had just gotten out, "Wait here for me."

After speaking, he glanced around, and seeing no one, he leaped up the three-meter-high wall.

Meng Hui was stunned. The scene was like something out of a movie.

Lin Chuan leapt onto the wall and quickly jumped down. Once on the ground, he first surveyed the surroundings.

The villa's courtyard was spacious, with some flowers and plants planted. Seeing no movement around, Lin Chuan silently activated the Heavenly Heart Skill's inner qi and, like a shadow, flashed to the villa's main entrance.

The villa's main door was also tightly shut, and it seemed no one was inside. Lin Chuan carefully searched everywhere, but the entire villa was empty, not even a ghost to be seen.

It looked like Qin Shaobing had already left East Sea County. Lin Chuan cursed silently in his heart.

Finding nothing, Lin Chuan had no choice but to retreat. Seeing Lin Chuan come back, Meng Hui quickly approached and said, "Brother Lin, did this guy offend you? Want me to gather some people to help you?"

Meng Hui knew even if he gathered a hundred men, it would be useless against Lin Chuan. His words were quite sycophantic.

Lin Chuan shook his head and said, "Let's go, the kid isn't here."

Lin Chuan was set to return to Jiangbei City the next day. It seemed that rescuing Wu Yuanyuan and Huang Mengqi would have to wait until he had dealt with Zhou Kai.

Meng Hui might be a small-time thug, but he had helped Lin Chuan several times. After much thought, Lin Chuan decided to take the kid to Jiangbei City and get him a job at the Sichuan University Group. It was better than him wandering every day.

Meng Hui only then found out some of Lin Chuan's background and was naturally more than willing.

Around four in the afternoon, Lin Chuan went to the hospital to see Huang Liyong. Huang Liyong was almost completely recovered. When Lin Chuan entered the ward, he saw him joking with a nurse.

The nurse saw Lin Chuan and still didn't give him a pleasant expression. Lin Chuan didn't mind, and directly said, "Liyong, I'm leaving tomorrow. Came to have a word with you."

Lin Chuan's words were undoubtedly telling the nurse they had something to discuss, so she should step out.

Huang Liyong certainly understood Lin Chuan's meaning and said to the nurse, "You go ahead and be busy. I'll come find you later."

The nurse pouted in dissatisfaction and unwillingly left the ward.

Lin Chuan didn't tell Huang Liyong about Huang Mengqi being kidnapped by Maoshan Tao. Instead, he told him to sell the massage parlor after being discharged and head to the Sichuan University Group in Jiangbei City to find him.

Upon leaving the hospital, it was nearly six in the evening. Lin Chuan went straight to the hotel where Feng Lingfeng was still waiting for him.
