Li Chonglou was aware of Lin Qianqian's current position. Given the habits of official personnel, if the general bureau had to resolve this matter today, Lin Qianqian would be affected to some extent in the end.
However, if she could resolve it herself, she might even receive an award. After all, this was just an accident. Officials wouldn't look at the process, but the result.
If Lin Qianqian could handle it on her own, the outcome would be her outstanding problem-solving ability. In the worst-case scenario, her merits and demerits would cancel each other out.
"This is all I can do to help you," Li Chonglou murmured silently. If it were someone else, they would have already left.
Although the situation in the airport seemed clear, it was important to remember that a group of mysterious individuals were lurking. It was unknown whether they still had masters like the man in grey from before. If they did, there would definitely be further changes!
Despite the airport's vastness, within minutes, the few of them arrived at the entrance hall, moving rapidly. As Chen Pao had said, Lin Qianqian was currently gathering her personnel.
The situation in the hall was complex. At the entrance, three figures blocked the way, glaring at Lin Qianqian and the assembled special forces.
On the left side of the hall, Lin Qianqian and over a hundred special forces soldiers were protecting dozens of passengers, their expressions grim as they stared at the three figures.
To seal off information, the signal jammer had not been removed. Therefore, Lin Qianqian could only rely on her own speed to inform the colleagues stationed outside to block the north exit, while the remaining police force was fully mobilized.
Those out-of-control individuals were truly frenzied. If she didn't concentrate her forces to eliminate them, she feared the police force would suffer heavy losses. Even so, Lin Qianqian's brow remained furrowed.
If she only had to face one opponent, it wouldn't be a major problem. But if all three attacked simultaneously, the police, despite their superior weaponry, would definitely suffer some casualties. After all, ordinary people facing masters from the mainland had a gap that firearms couldn't easily bridge.
Therefore, even though they had gathered troops, they dared not make the first move.
Just as Lin Qianqian was feeling anxious, Li Chonglou and the others, led by Chen Pao, suddenly appeared in their field of vision.
Without needing any command, the rifles of the hundred special forces soldiers immediately aimed at them. Chen Pao quickly shouted, "Officer, don't be alarmed! We're here to help you!"
As soon as he spoke, all the special forces soldiers turned their gaze to Lin Qianqian, while Lin Qianqian's eyes, intentionally or unintentionally, fell on Li Chonglou, who was wearing a white mask.
Why was he here? Did this guy have some other agenda?
Upon seeing Li Chonglou, Lin Qianqian's anger flared. If it weren't for the crowd, she feared she would have already stepped forward to question him about the whole affair!
After all, it was Li Chonglou who had called her to dispatch police to seal off the airport before the incident!
However, despite her anger, seeing Li Chonglou at this moment, Lin Qianqian inexplicably felt a sense of security.
So, when she saw the masked Li Chonglou secretly give her a meaningful glance, Lin Qianqian calmly raised her right hand.
The special forces soldiers beside her immediately understood and lowered their rifle muzzles slightly. Chen Pao's face lit up with joy at this, and he walked towards Lin Qianqian with his hands raised.
However, after reaching a distance of about ten meters, Chen Pao wisely stopped.
"Hello, beautiful police officer. I'm here to discuss cooperation with you."
Chen Pao still had that handsome face, sporting what he considered his most dashing smile, appearing completely harmless.
Little did he know that Lin Qianqian's gaze turned a few degrees colder upon hearing the word "beautiful."
The subsequent conversation was similar to what Chen Pao had said. He first explained the situation and then presented his bargaining chips. To his surprise, Lin Qianqian agreed to his request without asking any further questions.
Chen Pao's smile widened with confidence, and then he began to discuss the price with Lin Qianqian. However, this part of the conversation was clearly deliberate, and he did not let Li Chonglou and the others overhear it.
Five minutes later, Chen Pao returned with a triumphant smile.
Zhang San immediately asked, "How was it? What did she say?"
"Are you still worried when I'm here? Everything's settled, and the price is at least double what we usually get for a mission!"
Although they all came from different gangs, their commission rates were not significantly different. Upon hearing that they could double their earnings, Zhang San's eyes lit up with excitement.
"Then what do we do next?"
"You stay here and guard with them. We'll go inside to find the person."
"I'll stay by myself?"
Zhang San clearly hesitated. Chen Pao smiled and said, "Brother, if you want to switch, you can. I'll stay, and you guys go inside to find the person."
Seeing Zhang San's hesitation, Chen Pao explained, "This is also an exit. As long as the police don't forcibly take anyone out, they won't make a move first."
Zhang San was still hesitant. It was then that Li Chonglou suddenly spoke up, "How about I stay here? It's safer here. As long as you can hold your ground and prevent others from rushing over, that's enough."
This suggestion struck a chord with Zhang San. Indeed, compared to the current stable situation, returning inside to find the person was riskier. He understood that "finding the person" didn't refer to Green Bull, but to those out-of-control individuals.
It was bound to involve combat, so staying here was clearly the more stable option.
With that thought, Zhang San quickly said, "Then I'll do it. The most important thing for a team is coordination. Since Brother Chen has given the order, I naturally must obey."
The three of them silently rolled their eyes at Zhang San, but this was their objective, so the matter was settled.
Afterward, they split up. Zhang San went to Lin Qianqian's side and followed her instructions, while the three of them proceeded with their original plan to search for the master.
After they left, Eagle Eye couldn't help but say to Chen Pao, "You're amazing. In just a few words, you got a master to work for us for free."
Eagle Eye's praise was sincere. In his understanding, problems were usually solved through action, but Chen Pao's performance today had opened his eyes. He had never imagined that one could achieve so much with just words.
Chen Pao seemed to relish the praise, his smile stretching almost to the back of his ears.
"It's a small matter, not worth mentioning."
If not for his radiant smile, the other two might have actually believed him. However, Li Chonglou, standing beside them, poured a bucket of cold water on their enthusiasm.
"Don't celebrate too early. Now that we've agreed to cooperate, we have to do something."
Eagle Eye's expression faltered.
