Chapter 946: Strike On the Spot

Lu Chuan spoke while typing into his phone.

"Now act, first control Old Knife, then capture Smiling Tiger."

This was Lu Chuan's decision.

The opportunity now was rare; Lu Chuan and Chen Jiang had already blended in, and the other side didn't have any suspicion toward them, especially with Zhao Kai being the insider. The other side had three people; they had three people as well.

"Then let's switch."

Zhao Kai, having been undercover for many years, knew best how to seize the opportunity.

On his phone, he typed the word: "Okay!"

After speaking, Zhao Kai left the kitchen.

Of course, Lu Chuan and the others couldn't really start replacing gas pipes in the kitchen.

They had just gathered some information temporarily, knowing how to handle inspections and responses; as for the replacement, that was nonsense.

"Boss, can I borrow the restroom for a bit?"

After Zhao Kai left and entered the living room, Chen Jiang followed shortly after.

Zhao Kai frowned.

He looked at Old Knife across from him.

The other party nodded calmly.

Zhao Kai then spoke: "Follow me."

Zhao Kai knew very well that Chen Jiang was looking for an opportunity to join him upstairs to deal with the two people there, and as for Old Knife downstairs, it would be left to Lu Chuan.

Earlier in the kitchen, Chen Jiang and Lu Chuan had already exchanged their operation plan.

Zhao Kai and Chen Jiang would go upstairs to handle the two unarmed individuals, while the armed Old Knife would be dealt with by Lu Chuan.

Chen Jiang clearly knew Lu Chuan's capabilities; Old Knife, no matter how formidable, probably wouldn't last more than two moves against Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan had the best advantage when dealing with Old Knife, and the two others upstairs being unarmed should be manageable for Zhao Kai and Chen Jiang.

Once they went upstairs, Lu Chuan naturally emerged from the kitchen.

He looked at Old Knife, seated on the sofa: "Boss, it's all done."

Old Knife didn't expect it to be done so quickly.

"230 yuan, can you settle the bill?"

Lu Chuan still held the pliers, stepping closer to the coffee table.

"Wait a moment."

Of course, Old Knife wouldn't haggle.

The entire process Lu Chuan and the others went through entering, along with their exchange with Zhao Kai, was all closely observed by Old Knife.

Moreover, the other side already knew from the property management that Lu Chuan and his team were inspecting each villa, so naturally, Old Knife relaxed his vigilance.

As for haggling, Old Knife certainly disdained it.

Casually pulling out three hundred yuan, he was about to hand it to Lu Chuan.

Just as Lu Chuan reached to accept it, his gaze suddenly turned fierce.

The hand meant to receive the money shifted abruptly, grabbing Old Knife's wrist instead.

Crunch!

Lu Chuan's move showed no mercy; with a downward press, he dislocated Old Knife's wrist.

The sharp pain made Old Knife realize something was wrong.

However, with his wrist broken, Old Knife's combat ability plummeted.

Yet, in a critical moment, Old Knife still reacted.

His left hand reached back to draw a gun!

Lu Chuan couldn't allow him to draw his gun; following the wrist break, his left hand formed a fist and smashed into Old Knife's jaw.

Followed by an elbow strike, hitting Old Knife's solar plexus.

Bam!

The person fell onto the sofa.

Lu Chuan pulled out handcuffs, click-clacking them onto Old Knife securely.

Then he retrieved a handgun from Old Knife's waist.

The moment of Lu Chuan's attack was incredibly rapid; although it took a few moves, it actually lasted less than a single breath.

Truthfully, Old Knife's reaction was swift; when Lu Chuan instantly broke his wrist, Old Knife surprisingly didn't cry out.

Instead, he responded fastest by attempting to draw his gun.

Only then did the sounds of conflict break out upstairs.

Tabby Cat and Chen Jiang had acted over there too.

Having dealt with Old Knife, Lu Chuan didn't immediately head upstairs.

Instead, he delivered a karate chop to Old Knife's neck.

After Old Knife lost his ability to move, Lu Chuan charged toward the stairs.

Bam!

Just as Lu Chuan made it to the stairs, a door upstairs suddenly burst open.

It was Chen Jiang!

A burly man emerged from inside, trying to deliver a kick.

If that kick landed solidly, Chen Jiang would surely be severely injured.

Lu Chuan darted swiftly, kicking the opponent from the side, sending him flying.

Then he delivered an elbow strike to the man's face.

Blood gushed out.

"Old Chen! How are you?"

Chen Jiang rubbed his chest: "I'm fine! Damn, I got careless!"

On the other side, Zhao Kai was already dragging someone out.

"How's downstairs?"

Lu Chuan kicked the fallen person again: "Old Knife is already cuffed."

Half an hour later.

Old Knife had regained consciousness.

"You're an undercover!"

Old Knife didn't look at Lu Chuan and Chen Jiang but instead fixed his gaze on Zhao Kai.

Zhao Kai surely wasn't an insider; otherwise, he wouldn't be handcuffed. These people were clearly police.

Zhao Kai nodded: "Speak, where's Smiling Tiger?"

Ptooey!

Spitting out, Old Knife grinned: "What, you want me to betray Brother Hu?"

Lu Chuan frowned.

While Old Knife was unconscious, Lu Chuan had already interrogated the two upstairs.

The two were merely in charge of watching over things, and Zhao Kai didn't know where Smiling Tiger was either.

"Old Knife, you're aware of your crimes, and once caught in the country, you know what kind of punishment awaits you."

Zhao Kai understood the relationship between Old Knife and Smiling Tiger.

Old Knife was an orphan raised by Uncle Kun since childhood; he grew up with Xiao Minghu, and their relationship was undoubtedly strong.

Frankly, Zhao Kai didn't believe he had a high chance of uncovering Smiling Tiger through Old Knife.

However, it was worth a try.

"Smiling Tiger's presence in the country is already known to the police; you should consider whether he can manage to escape."

"Even if you don't tell us where he is, do you think we won't find him?"

"Haha, well then, go find him yourselves."

Old Knife clammed up after that.

"Captain Lu, what now?"

Chen Jiang knew, even if the other party confessed, it wouldn't be instant.

But if Smiling Tiger remains unchecked for long, he will realize something's amiss and surely flee.

"Let's go, check surveillance!"

Lu Chuan didn't intend to waste time on Old Knife.

From the very capture itself, it was clear Old Knife was decidedly tough.

Even using some means probably wouldn't yield any valuable information.

Additionally, as Chen Jiang mentioned, if Smiling Tiger doesn't receive updates from this side for a long time, he might detect a change and escape; catching him then would be difficult.

Hence, Lu Chuan decided to pursue directly, which might be faster.

After all, Zhao Kai mentioned earlier that Smiling Tiger had left in a vehicle.

That made it much easier.

In the surveillance room, after Chen Jiang revealed his identity, they quickly located the vehicle Smiling Tiger used.

Lu Chuan then immediately called the traffic police division leader.

Within two minutes, vehicle information had been sent to Lu Chuan's phone.

"The car is rented, let's go to the rental company!"

It's best when the vehicle is rented.

Because such cars have tracking devices, making them easy to find!
