Chapter 744: Chapter 744

"Damn it, you dare to threaten me when you're about to die." Lin Chen immediately continued punching and kicking.

Poor Thomson, who had entered the scene as a gentleman, was now beaten by Lin Chen to the point where his whole body was bruised, his face swollen like a pig's head, and his clothes covered in footprints.

"How should we handle him?" Zhao Jingxue asked.

Lin Chen snorted coldly, "The police can't hold this kind of person. I'll interrogate him thoroughly first, then hand him over to the special unit."

At that moment, not far away, two tall foreigners stared over coldly.

"Elle, let's go and rescue Thomson," said a blonde, blue-eyed woman.

"No, that guy is too strong for us. We can't beat him," Elle said coldly.

"Then what do we do? We can't just watch Thomson get caught," Elle said anxiously.

A sinister look appeared in Elle's eyes, "That bastard Thomson, I told him not to go too far, but he wouldn't listen. Since it's come to this, we have to use the 'Blood Curse'. We absolutely can't let him get captured."

"Blood Curse!" Hearing Elle's words, the blonde woman's face changed.

Lin Chen picked up Thomson, who was trapped in an electric net, and said coldly, "You better behave, or you'll regret it."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed.

He instantly threw Thomson out.

Almost instantly, Thomson turned into a mist of blood.

"Damn, that was a close call. I just made it," Lin Chen said, looking towards a dark corner.

"Not good, they've spotted us, let's go." Saying this, the two vampires turned and fled.

Lin Chen knew it was difficult to catch them from such a distance, so he didn't chase after them.

Seeing Thomson explode into a blood mist, Lin Chen shook his head helplessly as his prey flew away.

Originally, Lin Chen had hoped to learn some secrets about the Flower of Life from Thomson's mouth.

Just then, an explosion drew police cars to the scene, and Lin Chen said to Zhao Jingxue, "I'm going first. You deal with the police! Oh, and make sure to keep this a secret for me."

Saying this, Lin Chen vanished in a flash.

"This guy," watching Lin Chen disappear in a puff of smoke, Zhao Jingxue felt speechless.

Lin Chen returned home to find the lights in his cottage still on.

Pushing the door and entering, Li Yuqing quickly stood up, "Lin Chen, where have you been? I was so worried, you didn't even answer your phone."

Seeing Li Yuqing sitting on the bed with a worried face warmed Lin Chen's heart.

"Silly girl, I was just chatting at a friend's house, that's why I'm back late," Lin Chen smiled and said.

"Okay! I'm going to sleep now."

Li Yuqing yawned and then collapsed onto the bed.

Watching Li Yuqing lying on the bed, Lin Chen smiled softly, suddenly leaned down, and kissed her cheek, "Thank you for waiting up for me so late."

Li Yuqing had already closed her eyes, feeling a moist sensation on her cheek, "Stinky Lin Chen, you're taking advantage of me again."

By then, Lin Chen had already run back to his own cottage.

The next day, as Lin Chen and Li Yuqing were about to leave, suddenly Zhao Jingxue walked over from outside.

She had changed into a police uniform and looked at Lin Chen with a strange flash in her eyes, "Lin Chen, wait a moment, I need to talk to you."

"What's up?" Lin Chen got off his electric scooter and asked with confusion.

Zhao Jingxue pulled Lin Chen aside, "Who are you, really? I tried to search for you on our Public Security Network, but I didn't have the authority."

Lin Chen just smiled faintly, "As long as I'm not a fugitive, it's fine."

Now, Lin Chen was a special consultant for the Dragon Group; how could he possibly let just anyone find out about him.

"Forget it, by the way, after comparing blood types and fingerprints, that guy is indeed the murderer involved in several other cases," Zhao Jingxue said.

Lin Chen nodded, "Congratulations, you must have earned big merits this time!"

Zhao Jingxue replied, "Yes, I heard it's a first-class merit, but I feel unworthy of this honor!"

"What's there to feel guilty about? You risked your life to help a team of pigs lure out the monster, almost losing your life in the process, you deserve it," Zhao Jingxue said.

Zhao Jingxue thought for a moment, "Let's do this, the bonus I receive will be all yours."

Lin Chen nodded, "All right, have it your way. Anyway, I need to go to work now or Uncle Li will scold me again."

When he arrived at the small clinic, Lin Chen walked around the back and approached Uncle Li, "Whose is that abandoned land in the backyard, Uncle Li?"

"It's our land, why do you ask?" Uncle Li responded, looking at Lin Chen.

"I was thinking of planting something there; it's such a waste to leave it barren," Lin Chen said with a smile.

Uncle Li thought for a moment, "Planting is fine, but you'll need to pay rent."

"No problem, just name your price," Lin Chen said with a smile.

"Well, the land in Zhonghai is really expensive now. A new development is selling for forty to fifty thousand per square meter," Uncle Li said, squinting his eyes and puffing on a cigarette, his face the picture of a cunning businessman.

"Uncle Li, that's in the city. Here we are on the outskirts. How about a flat rate, one thousand a month, take it or leave it?" Lin Chen asked straightforwardly.

"A thousand, that much!" Li Dafu looked at Lin Chen in surprise.

In reality, he had intended to ask for five hundred, but Lin Chen had offered double that right off the bat.

"Okay, a thousand it is," Li Dafu said hastily, as though he feared Lin Chen might change his mind.

"No way, Dad, how can you trick Lin Chen ?" At this moment, Li Yuqing walked over.

"The soil in the backyard is saline-alkali soil; nothing can be grown. Don't be fooled," Li Yuqing said.

"You little brat, are you really my own? You sure know how to throw your weight behind outsiders! Haven't you seen the few weeds growing out there? Who says nothing can grow?" Li Dafu said.

Lin Chen smiled, "Don't worry, since I've said I'll rent it, I'll definitely rent it."

Just then, a noisy commotion came from the entrance; a few swaggering young men walked in.

"Old man Li, it's time to pay the protection fee," said one of the young men with a middle parting in his hair.

Li Dafu looked at the group, furrowing his brows, then took out five hundred yuan from his wallet and handed it to the young man.

The young man smirked coldly, "Old man Li, didn't you know the price has gone up? See that building next door? It's selling for forty to fifty thousand per square meter now. Your five hundred is a bit too little, our boss said at least a thousand."

"What? A thousand? Er Gou, are you robbing us?!" Li Fuyou was furious when he heard the protection fee had doubled.

This group was just a bunch of lazy thugs from a nearby village, living off protection money from local shopkeepers and street vendors.

Seeing that Li Fuyou was reluctant to pay, the middle-parted young man coldly advised, "Old man, you better just pay up, or else who knows, maybe tomorrow your windows get smashed, a few dead rats appear at your doorstep, or your house gets torched. You wouldn't want that."

"You guys!" Although Li Fuyou was angry, he had no choice but to take out another five hundred yuan.

Li Fuyou handed the money to Er Gou.

Counting the money, Er Gou smirked triumphantly, "That's more like it!"

However, the next minute his expression suddenly changed because the thousand yuan he had just counted had disappeared.
