"Start closing the net. All these people involved in the Huang family case, regardless of their status, whether they are legitimate or illegitimate, must all be arrested!"

In the conference room, a dignified middle-aged man in a police uniform said sternly.

"The police force in Jingcheng has basically been coordinated and can act at any time, but we still need to notify Night Shanghai." A police officer raised his hand to add to the situation.

The middle-aged man frowned: "Night Shanghai? Haven't the Huang family members already been restricted from traveling?"

The police officer replied: "It's the fourth young master of the Huang family. He went to Night Shanghai a week ago. At that time, the restriction order hadn't been issued yet. Although he can't go abroad, he can still move around within the country.

However, we have been sending people to watch him, and we haven't found any unusual movements."

The middle-aged man said seriously: "What is the fourth young master of the Huang family doing in Night Shanghai at this time? He is an important figure who has had direct contact with Huang Jun. If he runs away, it will be troublesome."

The police officer shook his head: "We don't know why he went to Night Shanghai for the time being. We only know that he booked a room at the Xingguo Hotel on Hongqiao Road, and after moving in with his subordinates, he has been keeping a low profile every day."

"Show me the map of this hotel and its surroundings." The middle-aged man always felt that there was a flaw somewhere in this long-planned operation, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't figure out where the problem was.

"This is the map." The police officer projected the map onto the projection screen in the conference room.

The middle-aged man looked over.

This hotel was just an ordinary building on Hongqiao Road, close to the Hongqiao Road commercial pedestrian street. The road section was prosperous and had a large flow of people. If someone created some sudden situation, it would indeed cause a large-scale riot.

Wait! The middle-aged man's eyes froze as he saw another building not far from the hotel—Night Shanghai Art University!

"Zhang Wen, have you notified the Night Shanghai police to arrange for someone to protect Miss Luo Quan?" The middle-aged man asked his subordinate.

Zhang Wen was stunned: "Protect... protect her for what? This case has nothing to do with her, right?"

"How are you handling this case?!" The middle-aged man slammed the table, spilling the hot tea in front of him all over the table. "If it weren't for Miss Luo Quan bidding against Huang Jun, how could we have filed an investigation into Hua Yi Company so quickly and logically? If this gang is crazy enough to prepare for a 'fish dies, net splits' scenario, the first person they will retaliate against is Miss Luo Quan!"

Just then, the conference room door was opened, and a police officer said anxiously: "Team Qi, the fourth young master of the Huang family has suddenly disappeared. There is no one left in the room!"

"Notify the Night Shanghai police quickly!" The middle-aged man reacted extremely quickly. "Tell them to send two groups of people, one to Shang Yi and one to Tang Gong. They must find Miss Luo Quan and protect her safety. By the way, wait for the rabbit by the tree; the Huang family's fourth young master will definitely go find her!

Also, notify the Jingcheng police force, the net-closing operation starts immediately!"

All the police officers stood up and saluted: "Yes!"

Today is Saturday, November 25th, at nine o'clock in the morning. Today is destined to be an uneasy day.

The efficiency of the Chinese police has always been rapid. In less than fifteen minutes, a large group of police officers arrived downstairs at Miss Luo Quan's dormitory building, and the girls in Miss Luo Quan's dormitory were also called down.

However, Miss Luo Quan was not in the dormitory. Lin Yizhu told the leading police officer: The class monitor seemed to have encountered some happy event and went home early in the morning, saying she wanted to cook in person and asked them to go to Tang Gong for lunch at noon.

At the same time, another group of police officers also arrived at Tang Gong.

Everything was normal in the residential area. The police officers pressed the doorbell in a hurry, but it was Su Yu who opened the door.

"Where is Miss Luo Quan?" The leading police officer asked.

Su Yu was stunned: "She went to the pedestrian street to buy groceries. She called half an hour ago to ask if there was any meat left, and I said no."

The captain shouted urgently: "Call her again, you must contact her!"

Although she didn't know what had happened, Su Yu immediately followed the police's instructions and called the boss.

However, no one answered.

"Can't get through..." Su Yu looked at the police officers blankly and said.

"Something happened." The captain closed his eyes tightly, his expression extremely annoyed.

But in fact, Miss Luo Quan was currently arguing fiercely with an old woman on the street.

"Do you still want any shame? You fell down in front of me yourself, and you're saying I hit you? Is there any law left!" Miss Luo Quan said, holding two catties of pork belly and various vegetables, to an old lady lying in front of her.

"It was you who hit me! I feel like my waist is about to break, pay me!" The old woman grabbed Miss Luo Quan's shoe with one hand, rolling on the ground and making a scene. With such a lively appearance, there was no sign of her waist being about to break.

Miss Luo Quan was both angry and amused when she saw this: "Old lady, there are surveillance cameras on this street. Whether I hit you or not, we'll know once we check the surveillance. You're at such an old age, why bother acting like a rascal and staging a scam?"

As the saying goes, if a person is shameless, they are invincible in the world.

No matter how Miss Luo Quan argued, the old woman just lay on the ground and refused to get up, and her hand kept pulling on Miss Luo Quan, refusing to let go.

Miss Luo Quan didn't dare to use force to break free. After all, this old woman looked like she was seventy years old. If she used some force and really broke two bones, then it would be completely over.

So the two of them were deadlocked like this, and a large crowd of onlookers gathered around.

Some were scolding the old woman for being shameless, scamming money in broad daylight.

Others were pointing at Miss Luo Quan, thinking that she had hit the old lady and that young people lack morality.

Others were acting as "rational neutrals," advising Miss Luo Quan to accept her bad luck, saying that today was destined to be a disaster, and just treat it as spending money to avoid trouble.

These onlookers made Miss Luo Quan tremble with anger. Just as she was considering whether to call the police, a little girl squeezed out of the crowd and came to Miss Luo Quan.

The little girl held a bouquet of red roses in her left hand and a samurai sword with a hilt in her right hand, and said to Miss Luo Quan: "Big sister, just now an uncle asked me to give these things to you."

"Not this again, isn't it annoying!" As soon as Miss Luo Quan smelled the flowers, she knew who sent them. Isn't it that count from the Freemasons or something? Why is he inexplicably sending her this again?

"Thank you." Miss Luo Quan thanked the girl and then took the flowers and the sword.

Just like before, there was a card on the roses with a few lines of text on it:

"You are going to be in trouble soon, I hope this sword can help you. — The Count"

After reading it, Miss Luo Quan didn't know what to say. Could it be that this old woman is arranged by that jerk? Then what does giving her a sword mean? Let her chop this scamming old woman with one stroke?

"Crazy." Miss Luo Quan cursed in a low voice, threw the flowers on the ground, and was about to take out her phone to call the police when a commotion came from outside the crowd.

"What are you doing?"

"Why are you hitting people!"

"Ouch!"

"Help, someone's killing!"

"Call the police quickly!"

The crowd who were still watching the fun had encountered a big deal this time, and suddenly exploded, scattering like birds and beasts.

Through the scattered crowd, Miss Luo Quan saw a few men in black jackets from the gaps, and they were walking slowly towards her.

Miss Luo Quan's heart tightened, as if she understood something.

She looked down at the old woman who was still pulling on her shoe, and said helplessly: "Old lady, you really want money more than your life. My enemies have found me. If you don't leave, be careful about losing your life here."

"Don't scare me, do you think you're filming a TV series!" The old woman's will to scam was quite firm, and she was not moved by Miss Luo Quan's words at all.

Seeing those big men in black getting closer and closer, and fearing that something would happen if she dragged it out, she stepped on the heel of her shoe and pulled her foot out of the shoe:

"I'll give you this pair of shoes. These are Chanel's latest hit models. Even a second-hand pair can sell for twenty or thirty thousand. I don't have any more, I don't have any cash on me." After saying that, she took off the one on her other foot and kicked them all into the old woman's arms.

"Hehe, I knew it was Chanel." The old woman hugged the shoes in her arms, climbed up from the ground with unusually agile movements, and ran away happily.

"MMP, this old coffin actually recognizes Chanel..." Miss Luo Quan only felt that all of this was so absurd, she was simply speechless.

However, the small trouble was solved, and there was still a big trouble at hand.

"Stop, if you get any closer, I'll take action." Miss Luo Quan drew the samurai sword with a "swish," pointing the tip at the men in black approaching her.

There were fifteen of them in total, all over 1.8 meters tall, with very burly builds. Moreover, the veins on their temples were bulging, and their knuckles had obvious round calluses. One look and you could tell they were trained fighters.

"It's really not easy to see you, Miss Luo Quan." A young man walked out from behind the men in black. He looked to be in his early twenties, and his face looked a bit pale due to long-term indulgence.

Miss Luo Quan frowned: "Who are you?"

The young man raised his chin, full of arrogance: "Huang Songtao, the fourth young master of the Huang family in Jingcheng."

"So it's Huang the Fourth." Miss Luo Quan chuckled: "Easy, I am the eldest granddaughter of the head of the Albert family in London."

Huang Songtao sneered: "It's a pity that this is China, your family doesn't work well here."

Miss Luo Quan replied with a sneer: "You also know this is China. Do you know that your current behavior has violated Chinese law? I can sue you for picking quarrels and provoking trouble at any time!"

Huang Songtao smiled: "It doesn't matter, anyway, I won't be Chinese soon. The boat to Vietnam is already ready."

Miss Luo Quan mocked: "Since you're running away, you still dare to be so ostentatious on the street. Is there something wrong with your brain?"

Huang Songtao appeared very calm: "All the main roads nearby are blocked now. Even if the police run over, it will take at least fifteen minutes. Fifteen minutes is enough for me to capture you alive."

Miss Luo Quan was disdainful: "Just by relying on you guys?"

"I know you have good skills, you know karate, you know kendo, ordinary thugs might not be able to get close to you.

So, this time I found all double-flower red poles from Nanyang. They are all battle-hardened experts. Fourteen people, capturing you alive is more than enough."

Miss Luo Quan raised an eyebrow: "So powerful, then what after capturing me alive? Planning to take me to Nanyang too?"

Huang Songtao grinned and laughed: "You are my future cash cow abroad. Such a top-tier item like you is a hot commodity on the dark web. It can maintain its value no matter how many times it's patronized.

Of course, before that, I must definitely first..."

"Stop, it's already disgusting enough. Your heart is as sleazy as your person, it's simply nauseating." Miss Luo Quan raised her hand to stop Huang the Fourth's disgusting and perverted fantasy.

In the eyes of such people, women are just tools and playthings. I don't know how many girls have been ruined by him.

When Su Yu was banned, it seems it was also because she refused his hidden rule requirements. This time he actually dared to have designs on her, then it's just right to settle old and new grudges together!

As if stimulated by Miss Luo Quan's words, or perhaps the long-accumulated emotions finally erupted, Huang the Fourth gritted his teeth and opened his bloodshot pupils, glaring at Miss Luo Quan:

"Do you know what that jade seal represents? That is the last straw for my Huang family. I spent one billion to get this news, and it was all ruined by you!

The Huang family is finished, but don't think you'll have it easy either. I want you to be a slave for a lifetime... Ah!!"

Huang Songtao still couldn't finish his sentence, as the scabbard thrown by Miss Luo Quan hit his nose bridge squarely. Huang Songtao's nose bridge was immediately smashed and sunken, and blood flowed from both nostrils like a fountain.

"The force is enough, but the accuracy is a bit off." Miss Luo Quan shook her head regretfully. What she was actually aiming for was Huang Songtao's mouth.

"Grab her for me!" Huang Songtao let out a hysterical roar. The men in black immediately reached into their arms and took out a black stick. With a flick, a long steel rod was extended.

China's control over firearms and knives is quite strict, especially guns, which are almost impossible to get. Knives are a bit easier to get, but because they want to capture her alive, they can only use sticks.

In comparison, Miss Luo Quan didn't have so many concerns here. Now she is a victim about to be kidnapped, so it doesn't matter if she uses lethal force on these people!

In order to avoid being surrounded by these people, although Miss Luo Quan was holding a sharp weapon, she still handled it cautiously and didn't attack rashly.

The thugs in black were obviously quite wary of her. After all, the knife in her hand was cold and gleaming, and it even had a blood groove. If you get stabbed by such a lethal weapon, even if the ICU is right next door, you won't be saved.

However, the thugs in black ultimately occupied a numerical advantage. After spreading out, they immediately launched an attack on Miss Luo Quan.

In action movies, enemies always use the "Huluwa saving grandpa" method, letting the protagonist solve them one by one.

In reality, there will never be a situation where teammates charge and I stand by and watch the show, especially in this kind of "many against few" scenario, where everyone just waves their sticks and swarms up.

Faced with this situation, it was impossible for Miss Luo Quan to stay in place and resist hard, but it was actually not difficult to break it.

She lifted her sword and turned into a long shadow, galloping towards the direction where the encirclement was the thinnest.

The thug who was used as a breakthrough point showed no fear and put all his strength into knocking at Miss Luo Quan's shoulder.

This stick was fast and ruthless. If it hit, an ordinary person would probably fall to the ground in pain.

However, Miss Luo Quan had long been on guard against everything. She lifted her sword and flicked it upwards, directly shattering the thug's telescopic baton, and then followed up with a side kick.

The thug who flew backwards only had one thought in his mind at this time: How can this girl have such great strength!

Miss Luo Quan, who successfully broke through the encirclement, turned to face the thug running towards her. Her body was as agile as a black panther. She lowered her shoulder to dodge the stick he swung, and then countered with a slash.

This slash was faster than the eye could see.

In the thug's eyes, it was as if Miss Luo Quan had waved her hand to unfold a silver fan. By the time he reacted, his abdomen had already been slashed by Miss Luo Quan, and he stumbled back several steps, finally falling to the ground and curling into a ball.

Although Miss Luo Quan used the back of the blade for this slash, it still made the thug feel as if his stomach had been stuffed into a meat grinder after the hit, and the pain was unbearable.

In the blink of an eye, the thugs lost two people, and Miss Luo Quan was unscathed.

However, these were not ordinary thugs after all. After discovering that the target was tough, they immediately stopped the chaotic fighting without rules and stood side by side, forming a semi-moon arc with the opening facing inward.

In this way, if any point is attacked, other thugs can immediately counterattack!

The semicircle approached rapidly, and Miss Luo Quan was not afraid. Instead of retreating, she advanced, raising her sword to launch a counterattack.

Miss Luo Quan's sword speed was still swift. The thug directly opposite her had just raised his stick when he was blocked by her sword, and then she swept with the back of the blade, hitting his cheek squarely.

At the same time, the iron rods of other thugs followed one after another. Miss Luo Quan snatched the stick from the thug she had just slashed, and directly used both hands, waving the iron rod and the steel sword at a speed unimaginable to ordinary people.

The fastest Iaido in the world can hit a tennis ball launched head-on at 150km/h within ten meters, which converts to 42m/s.

In the eyes of such a sword saint, all enemies' movements seem to be slowed down. Except for using guns, it is very difficult to win by purely using human power.

Miss Luo Quan's swordsmanship had not reached such a peak, but the speed at which these thugs swung their sticks was far from 42m/s. Plus, she was dual-wielding, so she still blocked all attacks in the time of a single encounter.

At this time, she was like a character with a modifier turned on in a fighting game, using the parry skill without limit. The iron rods hit like raindrops, but she didn't get a single leaf on her body.

The two thugs closest to her, while their iron rods were shattered and their web spaces were in severe pain, also received a kick from Miss Luo Quan, directly bowing and falling to the ground, unable to get up again.

If she could maintain this, Miss Luo Quan could put down these thugs one by one in the safest way.

However, these thugs were worthy of being desperadoes summoned by Huang Songtao. Seeing that they couldn't take her down if they continued like this, the thug on her left side made up his mind and flew over together. Their goal was only one, and that was Miss Luo Quan's hand, or at worst, the stick would do!

As long as they could control Miss Luo Quan for two seconds, other companions would definitely finish her off!

No matter how painful the stick is, the lethality is not as great as a knife.

Even if Miss Luo Quan really swung the knife, because of the backhand, the attack from the right side is also difficult to block with the efficiency just now.

This kind of life-risking style can indeed work in most situations, but unfortunately, this time she is facing Miss Luo Quan.

As soon as she saw the stance of these thugs, she understood their thoughts.

But do they really think she has no combat power without a weapon?

Miss Luo Quan used the stick in her left hand as a hidden weapon, smashing it fiercely at a thug's face, while the long sword in her right hand flew out of her hand, rotating and sweeping towards the thugs on the right side.

Faced with such a situation, these six or seven people immediately scattered.

From the previous battle, they could see that Miss Luo Quan had no intention of killing.

But once this knife was thrown out, it was no longer under control. It would be very dangerous to be grazed by it!

However, power is strongest when concentrated. Once scattered, it gives others a chance to break them one by one.

And Miss Luo Quan had been waiting for this moment.

She quickly tore off the coat she was wearing and threw it at the thugs on the left who were rushing towards her desperately, covering three or four of them like Fahai throwing his kasaya, slightly delaying their pace.

And she herself was already holding her fist, rushing towards the nearest thug on the right who had been dispersed, calmly dodging his iron rod, and then throwing a punch.

An ordinary punch, but only one punch was needed to make a 1.8-meter big man completely lose his combat ability.

Miss Luo Quan, who threw a punch, didn't care about the life or death of the person in front of her, and directly turned to run towards the next target.

Between the rabbit rising and the falcon falling, the five thugs on the right had already been put down by Miss Luo Quan, and the speed was unexpected by everyone.

Fighting until now, Huang Songtao's thugs only had four people left. This amount of manpower would still be a piece of cake for her to deal with if it were a few months ago.

Miss Luo Quan sneered and walked towards the few thugs. At this time, the identities of both sides had completely changed.

She is the hunter, and they are all prey.
