In the reception room.
Standing beside Gao Qiqiang were two men, Chu Lingtian and Kui Niu.
"I'm telling you, you'd better behave, or I'll take your dog life in minutes!" Chu Lingtian said.
Gao Qiqiang was already scared senseless and quickly nodded.
Soon, Brother Kun walked in from outside, wearing a bathrobe.
Behind him were four burly men, all with fierce faces and menacing appearances.
They were Brother Kun's personal bodyguards, whom Gao Qiqiang had seen before.
However, Brother Kun always brought them when he went out. He hadn't expected him to have them with him at home today.
"You finally came!"
Brother Kun sneered slightly and walked towards Gao Qiqiang, his expression gentle.
Just as Gao Qiqiang was about to speak, he heard a bang.
He felt a sharp pain in his head and, upon touching it, found his hand covered in blood.
Chu Lingtian and Kui Niu stood still, not yet knowing Xiao Lengyue's whereabouts and fearing they might alert the enemy.
Gao Qiqiang was also bewildered. He didn't know Xiao Lengyue was a police officer and thought Brother Kun had discovered Chu Lingtian and the others' identities.
He dared not say anything more and could only endure the pain.
"You're quite bold! How dare you send a female police officer here? If I hadn't seen through her identity, I would have been arrested by the police by now!"
Brother Kun said coldly, "You better think hard! What's the deal with this female police officer? Otherwise, you'll just wait to die!"
Gao Qiqiang was confused and hadn't figured out what was happening.
Chu Lingtian used his telepathic communication skill and said, "Immediately find out where that female police officer is. Say you don't know anything."
Gao Qiqiang followed Chu Lingtian's instructions.
Brother Kun sneered, "Is that so? Bring that little slut out, and you can confront her face to face!"
"Guards, bring her here!"
Upon hearing Brother Kun order Xiao Lengyue to be brought over, Chu Lingtian breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as Xiao Lengyue's safety was ensured, they could make their move.
In a blink of an eye, Xiao Lengyue was brought into the reception room.
Xiao Lengyue had not been tortured. The moment she saw Chu Lingtian standing there, her eyes immediately turned red, and tears welled up.
But she didn't call out to Chu Lingtian, only looking in his direction.
This made Brother Kun furious. He grabbed a teacup and hurled it at Gao Qiqiang. The scalding tea poured all over him, making him cry out in pain.
Gao Qiqiang had no idea what was going on.
"You damn liar, you said you didn't know her, yet her eyes welled up with tears the moment she saw you!"
Brother Kun roared, "I treated you well, and you dared to collude with the police against me? I'll kill you today!"
Gao Qiqiang felt wronged but couldn't say anything.
*Brother Kun, I can't tell her she wasn't looking at me?*
But he couldn't say anything. He had to keep all his grievances to himself, as his life was in Chu Lingtian's hands.
Brother Kun grabbed an ashtray and lunged at Gao Qiqiang, but Kui Niu blocked his path.
Brother Kun sneered slightly and looked at Kui Niu with disdain.
"Kid, this is my territory. And does being tall mean you can scare people? You two really have blind eyes!"
"Boss, who are you following? You have to follow Gao Qiqiang, this good-for-nothing!"
Before he finished speaking, he swung the ashtray in his hand towards Kui Niu's head, but it missed.
Because Kui Niu was much taller than him, he couldn't reach Kui Niu's head.
Kui Niu grabbed Brother Kun's wrist, took the ashtray from his hand, and smashed it down on Brother Kun's forehead.
Brother Kun reacted extremely quickly and dodged by turning his head.
He was also a martial artist, and a very skilled one at that, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to subdue Xiao Lengyue so easily.
He also realized that Kui Niu was a martial artist and had profound cultivation.
Brother Kun clenched his fists and punched towards Kui Niu's chest, but it was like hitting a stone, having no effect on Kui Niu.
Kui Niu had followed a monk around the jianghu since he was young, making a living by performing martial arts. He had trained in hard qigong like the Golden Bell Shield and Iron Shirt.
Let alone the strength of Brother Kun's punch, even a charging bull crashing into Kui Niu wouldn't have harmed him.
"Are you tickling me?" Kui Niu sneered.
His massive iron fist descended towards Brother Kun, scaring Brother Kun into quickly dodging aside.
He could dodge the iron fist, but not the ashtray!
Clang!
The ashtray instantly hit the back of Brother Kun's head, splitting it open and causing blood to flow.
Brother Kun winced in pain, his face showing extreme murderous intent as he looked at Kui Niu.
*What kind of hard qigong is this guy practicing?*
He was helpless against Kui Niu.
"Well done, well done! Beat him to death!"
Gao Qiqiang thought about the ashtray he had taken earlier and all the indignity he had suffered since following Brother Kun. A surge of unquenchable anger welled up within him.
Since he was finished with Brother Kun anyway, there was no need to be afraid of him anymore.
Brother Kun's expression changed again. He was right about this guy. This kid had a rebellious streak and was undoubtedly a police informant.
"Gao Qiqiang, you treacherous dog, I won't let you off!"
Gao Qiqiang immediately cursed, "You dog! Stop trying to scare me. I've had enough of being your subordinate, you wretch!"
"If you have the guts, kill me today, or you're a son of a bitch! I'm not afraid of you!"
He had nothing left to lose and started cursing back at Brother Kun.
Brother Kun was also greatly surprised. He never expected the usually submissive Gao Qiqiang to be so bold today.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Chu Lingtian quickly walked towards Xiao Lengyue.
The two thugs by Xiao Lengyue's side immediately attacked Chu Lingtian, but Chu Lingtian dealt with them in two moves.
"Are you alright?" Chu Lingtian asked.
Xiao Lengyue said nothing, throwing herself into Chu Lingtian's arms and sobbing.
To be honest, Xiao Lengyue was truly terrified.
She thought that if Chu Lingtian hadn't appeared in time to save her, she would have bitten her tongue to death or run headfirst into a wall rather than let Brother Kun defile her.
"It's alright! You're safe now. With me here, no one can harm you! Rest assured!"
Xiao Lengyue looked up at him and nodded obediently.
At this moment, she was no longer the hot-tempered female police officer but a meek and pitiable woman clinging to Chu Lingtian.
Xiao Lengyue didn't know why, but she felt an overwhelming urge to depend on Chu Lingtian at this moment.
"Kui Niu, no need to be polite with him. Just interrogate him directly!" Chu Lingtian said coldly.
Kui Niu nodded, turned, and asked, "Where is the Ninth Princess?"
Upon hearing the words "Ninth Princess," Brother Kun showed no reaction. He appeared completely dazed, as if he had no idea who the Ninth Princess was.
"I'm asking where the Ninth Princess is!"
Kui Niu slapped him again, making Brother Kun's mouth bleed. His subordinates immediately rushed forward.
