Xiaolan, the strange fire civet cat, stayed on Lin Yan's shoulder and kept jumping around, looking very happy.
Moreover, it kept chirping, urging Lin Yan to hurry up. It seemed that it really wanted to find its owner, Chen Xiaokai.
Lin Yan walked quickly towards Cao Jinshan's wild animal factory on Xidan Street in the west, where Chen Xiaokai was imprisoned.
On the other side, Chu Yun first took away several ferocious beasts from Cao Jinshan's basement, and then began to follow his own responsibilities to manage those who participated in the siege of Lin Yan and the kidnapping of the princess.
In addition to Cao Jinshan and Ye Nanqing, Chu Yun also interrogated several people who kidnapped Her Royal Highness. As for the rest, since it was impossible to take them all into custody, they were allowed to leave temporarily, but they were restricted to Nanchang County and were not allowed to escape. .
Chu Yun is not afraid of trouble from others.
It's not a big deal in the first place. If these people continue to flee, they will face his severe pursuit. It is really a stupid thing that outweighs the gains and losses. I believe that anyone who is not a fool will not do this.
Soon, many of the police officers in Nanchang County returned to their respective homes. Although they were in a bad mood and even a little frightened, they were not put in a cell like the county magistrate. They did not have to be prisoners, which still made them feel Very happy.
After all, they all offended Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Imperial City tonight!
If Her Royal Highness the Princess is unreasonable or a little narrow-minded, they will suffer a lot!
However, two people did not go home immediately.
They were the two warriors whose strength was much higher than Lin Yan's and made Lin Yan fearful.
Cao Jinshan's wife, who came over after hearing the news, found them.
Although the two of them are not warriors under the jurisdiction of Nanchang County and have free status, Nanchang County is their home. In addition to their superb strength, it is inevitable that they will often come into contact with the top brass of Nanchang County.
For example, the county magistrate Ye Nanqing and the county's richest man Cao Jinshan have found them and asked them to do many secret things.
For warriors of their level, once they do something secret, they will naturally receive a lot of reward. It is conceivable that Ye Nanqing and Cao Jinshan found them more than once, and they must have done a lot of things. And these things are usually very difficult.
This time, Cao Jinshan's wife had another difficult matter that the two of them had to deal with.
This woman, who was very independent and had always been Cao Jinshan's right-hand man in business, made an offer of 200,000 taels of gold.
Two hundred thousand taels of gold is not a small amount even for these two people.
The condition given by the woman was very simple and clear, that is, let the two of them kill Lin Yan and take back the strange fire civet.
Cao Jinshan's wife understood that once her husband was imprisoned, he would probably never come out. It would be difficult for the Cao family's business to continue, so the whole family was doomed.
And the "culprit" is Lin Yan!
She wished that Lin Yan died so that she could let out a bad breath.
So she didn't hesitate to spend so much money to hire someone to do it.
She didn't dare to move Her Royal Highness, but she knew that Lin Yan was just an ordinary friend of Her Royal Highness, and now that Her Royal Highness had left with General Chu, Lin Yan was alone. If someone killed Lin Yan, he would definitely be unaccounted for. Unaware.
As for the strange fire civet, it was not something she had to get, she just proposed it incidentally.
The two warriors were silent for a while, and then started discussing directly without taking into account the presence of Cao Jinshan's wife.
"Brother, I think the young man surnamed Lin is just destined to meet Her Royal Highness the Princess. Now Her Royal Highness will definitely return to the palace immediately, and that boy is just a warrior from the outer city. If he still stays in Nanchang County, based on our influence on Nancang County, With the familiarity of Cang County, we will definitely be able to find him in a short time." One person said to the other person.
Cao Jinshan's wife interjected: "This boy must have gone to the workshop on Xidan Street now. The owner of the Strange Fire Civet is imprisoned there. It seems that he knows the owner of the Strange Fire Civet. If you make a decision quickly, Maybe we can still find him there, but if we go slower, I'm afraid he will leave, and it will definitely be difficult to find him again in the future."
The person who spoke before didn't seem to be in a hurry and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. Even if we let him go tonight, with our probing skills, we will definitely find him before he leaves Nanchang County."
Then the man said to his elder brother: "Brother, this guy has no background and his strength is lower than ours. I think he can do it with a reward of two hundred thousand taels of gold. Besides, let's help Boss Cao with this small matter." It’s not difficult to be busy, right?”
It was clear that this man had agreed to take on the task entrusted by Cao Jinshan's wife.
Of course, the reason that prompted him to do this was because they felt insulted. If it weren't for Lin Yan, there would be nothing to do with Her Highness the Princess, and they wouldn't be allowed to kneel on their knees and face others when they visit Her Highness the Princess. He couldn't bear to kneel down and he turned his anger on Lin Yan.
The eldest brother thought for a while, then looked at Cao Jinshan's wife and said: "Two hundred thousand taels of gold, madam, you don't need to pay the deposit for now. Our brothers have completed the task and after taking back the kid's head, it won't be too late to ask for the reward. but."
The man paused.
"If you have any other requests, just ask." Cao Jinshan's wife said expressionlessly.
She understood that she was the one asking for these two people now, and the other party would definitely add some more benefits and conditions, but he didn't care. As long as she could kill Lin Yan and calm down the anger in her heart, she could give an explanation to her husband Cao Jinshan.
The eldest brother continued: "Madam, after killing that boy and the owner of the Alien Fire Civet, the Alien Fire Civet will belong to us."
Of course he knew how precious the Strange Fire Civet was, "Madam, anyway, you know that even if you get the Strange Fire Civet, with the current strength and energy of the Cao family, it may be difficult to protect this precious spiritual beast. Instead, it will be brought to you." Danger."
Cao Jinshan's wife snorted softly.
She didn't want to get the Alien Fire Civet, she just wanted to kill Lin Yan. No matter how precious the Alien Fire Civet was, she was ready to give up. She had specifically added this clause before just for the sake of bargaining now.
Therefore, she deliberately kept a serious face and pretended to be dissatisfied and said: "Even if I don't tame the strange fire civet, I can still make a lot of money by selling it to a buyer, and you don't have this buyer." .However, since I am looking for you to do something, I don’t need this strange fire civet cat, but you have to reduce the remuneration a little."
The three discussed again and finally decided that the two warriors would be responsible for killing Lin Yan and the owner of the strange fire civet. The strange fire civet would belong to them. After the matter was completed, Cao Jinshan's wife paid them one hundred thousand taels of gold as a reward. .
By this time, almost half an hour had passed.
Lin Yan had successfully found a small room in the factory where debris was stored.
According to what Cao Jinshan said, Chen Xiaokai was kept alone here.
"Zhizhi, zhizhi." The strange fire civet called impatiently outside the door.
Suddenly there was movement in the closed room.
Chen Xiao's angry voice came out as he opened the jar.
"Xiaolan, is it you? Did I hear you correctly?"
Although the voice was weak, indicating that the imprisoned Chen Xiaokai might have been tortured, the joy contained in the voice was easily felt by even Lin Yan.
The strange fire civet screamed like a "squeak", and then spewed out a large stream of gray-white Baiji Fire from its mouth.
The fire of White Silence has reached the realm of metamorphosis, its temperature is extremely high, and it can easily melt gold and stone!
No matter how tightly the wooden door is closed, no matter how thick it is, it cannot withstand it.
There was a loud bang, and the wooden door was blown away by the White Silence Fire. Many of the countless tiny wood chips turned directly into black, and many of them were even directly ignited while they were still flying in the air!
The alien fire civet couldn't wait to rush in.
After Lin Yan followed up, he found that the utility room was less than ten square meters in area and there was an unpleasant smell inside. It is estimated that Chen Xiaokai never left after being restricted from personal freedom. He ate, drank and defecated in it.
Chen Xiaokai was lying on a yellowed wicker chair. His face was pale, his hair was disheveled, and he looked very weak. He had probably lost more than half of his weight!
Although the big fat man he used to be is still there now, with very little meat and dry skin, Chen Xiaokai looks like a waning old man on the verge of life!
"Squeak, squeak."
The strange fire civet cat is very psychic. When he saw his master become like this, he jumped onto the wicker chair eagerly. His little paws kept stroking Chen Xiaokai's face, and his big eyes were filled with tears!
Lin Yan couldn't help but frown.
There were no ropes tied around Chen Xiaokai's body, but the situation was far worse than being tied up.
Because there is no need to tie him up with ropes, there is no fear of Chen Xiaokai escaping, and there is no one watching over him!
With Cao Jinshan's cunning, he naturally knew that Chen Xiaokai was a warrior, so how could he not be wary of Chen Xiaokai's escape?
But Cao Jinshan just threw Chen Xiaokai on the wicker chair!
It wasn't that Chen Xiaokai wanted to lie down on the wicker chair, it was someone who threw him in it!
Lin Yan's eyes fell on Chen Xiaokai's hands and feet that were shaking slightly. Chen Xiaokai couldn't control this natural shaking of the body, just like a person addicted to drugs would twitch when there is no drug to smoke.
Lin Yan sighed after seeing it.
He didn't need to step forward to judge, but he also knew that Chen Xiaokai was disabled, and his hand tendons and hamstrings were actually broken!
"Haha," Chen Xiaokai still had the alien fire civet nuzzling him lovingly, his eyes fell on Lin Yan, and a smile appeared on his face with some difficulty, "It turns out that brother Lin Yan came to save me, what do I say? , that old bastard Cao Jinshan could not let Xiaolan escape, Brother Lin, you saved my life again."
Lin Yan's brows furrowed even more tightly, and he deliberately avoided asking about Chen Xiaokai. Lin Yan said, "It's really hard to find you. I thought you were still in Xiaoshui City, but I didn't expect that we would actually meet in Zhongzhou City."
"Yes, it's a coincidence." Chen Xiaokai continued to smile, as if he didn't care about his current tragic experience. He struggled a bit, sat up with difficulty, and said, "It's so damn good to be alive."
After saying that, Chen Xiaokai took a few deep breaths. Although the smell was unpleasant, Chen Xiaokai seemed to smell the breath of freedom.
"Stop talking, let's go out first." Lin Yan directly carried Chen Xiaokai on his back.
"It was you who carried me on my back last time on the mountain road outside Xiaoshui City. Brother Lin Yan, thank you." Chen Xiaokai said sincerely.
Lin Yan felt sad in his heart.
Although he didn't have much friendship with Chen Xiaokai, he still had a good impression of Chen Xiaokai. Suddenly seeing a living fat man transformed into this, he was naturally very touched.
After walking out of the room, Lin Yan was ready to leave here quickly. He was worried that the night would be long and he would have many dreams.
