149: Chapter 149 Liu Sanxing is knocked unconscious

It was clear that Liu Sanxing was a veteran; he was extremely cautious, and his movements were textbook. Under the cover of night, he quietly crept toward the house where Qin Chuan was staying.

As the boss of Jianning City's underworld, he had committed his fair share of murders and robberies in the past. In his early days, he had even fought a bloody path to the top to secure his position as the leader.

The Municipal Public Security Bureau had originally dispatched several police officers for protection, but because it was late at night, most had already gone off duty, leaving only two behind.

Inside a car parked downstairs, two police officers were stationed. They had agreed that one would watch the first half of the night and the other the second. One of them was already asleep, and the other had not yet noticed Liu Sanxing.

Inside the room, Qin Chuan was not asleep.

Because he had received a system notification, which was practically like having a cheat code, he had long known exactly when Liu Sanxing would arrive and that the man was armed with a gun.

This allowed him to make preparations in advance.

He had set up a decoy on the bed in the master bedroom, stuffing two pillows and several pieces of clothing under the blanket. At first glance, it looked like someone was sleeping there.

Meanwhile, Qin Chuan himself held a wooden club and hid in a dark corner, waiting for Liu Sanxing to arrive.

He's here, he's here.

Qin Chuan had excellent hearing, and in the silence of the night, he could hear sounds from quite a distance. He heard someone exit the elevator, then footsteps reached his front door, followed by the sound of a lock being picked.

This Liu Sanxing was actually a master locksmith; he managed to pick the lock in just a few moves. Then came the sound of the door being pushed open gently and the sound of someone entering.

Liu Sanxing moved with light steps, entering stealthily.

The house was very dark, with only the faint light from outside filtering through the windows and the balcony. After taking three to five seconds to adjust and survey the layout of the room, Liu Sanxing, clutching a Type 54 imitation pistol, crept toward the master bedroom.

The master bedroom door was ajar. He pushed it open very slowly, likely worried that too much force or speed would make a noise and wake Qin Chuan.

Walking into the master bedroom, he saw the "person" sleeping soundly on the bed. Without a doubt, this was Qin Chuan, the man Liu Sanxing intended to kill tonight.

He took out a prepared towel and wrapped it around the muzzle. While not as effective as a silencer, it would significantly dampen the sound of the shots.

A cruel grin appeared on his face. Liu Sanxing didn't waste any words and fired directly at the bed.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

He fired five or six shots in total. At such close range, every bullet hit the target. Feeling satisfied that the person on the bed must be dead, he finally stopped shooting.

Qin Chuan, you finally have this day!

This is the price for opposing us!

Believing the man was dead, Liu Sanxing was no longer cautious. He strode forward and yanked back the blanket to confirm.

However, once the blanket was pulled away, he was instantly stunned!

It wasn't Qin Chuan at all, just a few pieces of clothing and two pillows.

Damn, it's a trap!

The realization had barely flashed through his mind before Liu Sanxing could react. He felt something smash into the back of his head, his vision went black, and he slumped to the floor.

Qin Chuan's timing was perfect. He struck the back of Liu Sanxing's head with the wooden club, knocking him out instantly.

He kicked the pistol away and then turned on the light.

Although he had never met Liu Sanxing in person, he had seen his photos and files. He was certain that this was the boss of Jianning City's underworld and Young Master Yang Wenhao's Black Glove.

Downstairs, inside the car.

The young police officer on the night shift froze. He thought he heard gunshots, but they didn't quite sound right—the noise was more muffled and much quieter than a normal gunshot.

Just as he was wondering if it had been gunfire, the light in Qin Chuan's room came on.

Seeing this, his heart tightened, and he quickly shook the slightly older officer. "Old Li, something's happening!"

Old Li was more alert. Upon waking and seeing the situation in Qin Chuan's room, he immediately said, "Let's go, something's gone wrong!"

As they ran, he drew his service weapon and reached the door of Qin Chuan's apartment as fast as possible. Seeing the door was unlocked, he hurriedly knocked and shouted.

"Director Qin, are you okay!"

Qin Chuan's voice came from inside. "I'm fine. I've knocked Liu Sanxing unconscious. Come in quickly."

What!

Liu Sanxing!!!

The two police officers didn't dare delay and pushed the door open. The first thing they saw was Liu Sanxing unconscious on the floor, followed by the Type 54 imitation pistol.

Both of their expressions changed.

Needless to say, the situation just now must have been extremely critical. Damn it, they hadn't even noticed and had actually let Liu Sanxing sneak up there.

"Xiao Zhang, call the bureau immediately!"

Soon, several police cars arrived, breaking the silence of the late night. The person leading them was none other than Lei Jianping.

"Director Qin, are you alright!"

Upon hearing the news, he had broken into a cold sweat and rushed over at maximum speed.

Secretary Yu had repeatedly instructed that Liu Sanxing must be captured as soon as possible and that Qin Chuan's safety must be guaranteed one hundred percent. Yet, from morning until night, not a trace of Liu Sanxing had been found. Now, he had actually appeared here at Qin Chuan's place.

Qin Chuan said, "Director Lei, I'm fine. Please confirm, this should be Liu Sanxing."

Lei Jianping replied, "That's right, this is Liu Sanxing."

Qin Chuan nodded and briefly recounted the events that had just occurred.

After listening, Lei Jianping broke into another cold sweat.

Fortunately, Director Qin was clever and had prepared in advance. If he had been sleeping in that bed, he would likely have been riddled with bullets by now.

The police officers got to work, taking photos and collecting footprints and fingerprints.

Municipal Party Secretary Yu Zhikun was awakened from his sleep. A phone call at nearly one in the morning meant there was definitely something important.

After taking the call, Yu Zhikun also nearly broke into a cold sweat. Fortunately, Qin Chuan was unharmed; otherwise, how could he possibly answer to Governor Zhu?

The matter was too serious for him to delay. Despite it being one in the morning, he immediately called Vice Governor Zhu Shihua to report.

Whether in Jianning City or the provincial capital, certain leaders remained sleepless throughout the night, with various phones ringing constantly. Even the Jianning Municipal Party Committee and the Provincial Public Security Department received instructions from the Provincial Party Secretary to conduct a crackdown on gangs and evil with thunderous force.

Overnight, a massive Campaign to Crack Down on Gangs and Evil was launched in Jianning City. There were even instances of Cross-jurisdictional police deployment, with squads of Special Police mobilized from the provincial capital participating.

Young Master Yang Wenhao was sleeping soundly.

Last night, several newcomers had arrived at a certain club. He had picked two and had a great time, only falling asleep late at night from exhaustion.

He hadn't heard a word about Liu Sanxing being knocked unconscious. However, even if he had heard such news, he probably wouldn't have cared much. He would likely have just turned off his phone and gone back to sleep. If Liu Sanxing got caught, what did that have to do with him, Yang Wenhao?

As for whether Liu Sanxing would implicate him, he had some concerns, but not many.

Even if he were dragged into it, he was confident he could resolve it. In all of Jianning City, no one dared to do anything to him. Besides, he had ways to solve any kind of problem.

He slept until the sun was high in the sky and turned on his phone after waking up.

Once the phone was on, Young Master Yang Wenhao was instantly stunned.

There were at least dozens of missed calls and a massive number of unread messages!
