Chapter 350: Chapter 327: Officer Yu, do you need help?

Li Xinmei, Li Chen muttered softly to himself, staring at the words "Yanjing Li Family" on his phone, feeling a chill in his heart.

"What’s wrong?" Lin Yi asked softly from across.

"Nothing." Li Chen put away his phone and managed a slight smile, "I need to step out for a bit, you stay at the villa."

Lin Yi nodded gently and said, "Be careful."

Although she did not know what Li Chen was up to, she did not ask.

After dinner, Li Chen left the villa and headed straight for the location, while Zu Gu, William, and Nether Wolf also led a group straight to an abandoned factory in the east of the city.

This was the last place where Li Xinmei was seen. After the explosion at Lin Corporation Building yesterday, someone had seen her at this location.

Therefore, Li Chen immediately took his men and rushed over.

Next to the abandoned factory, rows of villas stood nearby. Developers had their eyes on this spot, and villas were already constructed not far from there. The old factory was yet to be demolished; the developers planned to wait a while to let the land prices rise, a strategy known as land banking.

Not far from the villas, Yu Yueying was leading a team of armed officers, surrounding a villa.

"Why can’t we break in?" Yu Yueying frowned.

They had surrounded the villa for several hours. She had been at the site of the Lin’s Group explosion but had rushed over immediately due to a breakthrough in another case she was following.

This was a major case, a transnational drug trafficking incident, and these criminals had even committed murder to conceal the drugs.

Murder and drug trafficking, stacked together, were charges that certainly warranted the death penalty.

However, the drug traffickers inside were very experienced. Although she had taken advantage of the night to surround them, it was now morning and they had still not succeeded in capturing them, even suffering casualties on her side.

"Captain, their techniques are too seasoned, and this villa is quite large. We don’t have the paramilitary police with us," a policeman next to her said with difficulty.

It wasn’t that they were ineffectual; the criminals inside knew the gravity of their crimes and fought desperately. They had tried to storm in once but had failed miserably, even injuring one of their own.

"Contact headquarters, request reinforcements," Yu Yueying said coldly.

Meanwhile, Li Chen and his men also arrived, walking past Yu Yueying. The police, who had been surrounding the villa, were momentarily startled. The style of these newcomers was eerily reminiscent of a gang.

Yu Yueying turned around and saw Li Chen and his companions, startling her as well. She was about to speak when she noticed Li Chen hurrying towards the front.

Yu Yueying felt something odd and heard someone whisper next to her, "Captain, do these people seem suspicious? Should we check them out?"

"What are you waiting for? Keep a close eye on them. If they escape, it’s on you!" Yu Yueying barked.

Li Chen and his crew had already reached the abandoned factory. Without needing further instructions, Zu Gu and Nether Wolf led their men and stormed inside.

According to the intelligence, Li Xinmei was indeed here last night, but when Zu Gu and others burst in and turned the place upside down, they found no one.

"Boss, no one’s here," Zu Gu said, scratching his head frustratingly while Nether Wolf checked the traces around the site, speaking gravely, "She was here last night, but must have left this morning."

Nether Wolf looked up at Li Chen and noticed his extremely grim expression.

If she had escaped, it must be credited to her keen instincts or perhaps luck. If it was the latter, Li Chen had nothing to say, but if it was the former, Li Xinmei would prove to be a formidable opponent.

Such acute smell and purposefully troubling oneself is definitely a liability.

This liability must be eliminated, otherwise Li Chen would never be at peace.

"Can you find out how long ago they left?" Li Chen looked at Nether Wolf.

Nether Wolf squatted down, felt the residual warmth in the pile of ashes with his hand, and then said, "It’s been over four Time of Day, they probably left around six o’clock in the morning."

"Search, send someone to check all the stations and airports in Linchuan, and the exits of the city too. Don’t miss any. If she’s still in Linchuan, even if it means digging three feet underground, find her!"

Li Chen said coldly.

"Yes!"

Zu Gu and the others responded.

Li Chen returned with his people, his mood very unpleasant. The existence of Li Xinmei was like a Shadow, and her methods were even more ruthless, treating ordinary people as mere sacrifices.

Fortunately, Li Xinmei didn’t have the abilities of Shadow, which was a relief. Otherwise, she might have directly targeted his women.

Passing by Yu Yueying and her group of police again, Li Chen looked up and noticed Yu Yueying, her face annoyed, seemingly in a tricky situation.

The police also noticed Li Chen and his group approaching and immediately became tense.

Li Chen approached Yu Yueying, glanced at the villa, and said, "Officer Yu, need help?"

Just as Yu Yueying was about to speak, Li Chen didn’t wait for her to start and said indifferently, "But I know you don’t like accepting help from others."

Then he waved his hand!

With Li Chen’s gesture, both Zu Gu and Nether Wolf charged into the villa with their men.

The surrounding police were stunned and then looked at Li Chen, "Has this man gone mad?"

"He’s sending his men to their deaths!"

"Captain Yu, make him stop."

The surrounding police also became anxious. Inside were heavily sought-after criminals involved in cross-border drug trafficking, inherently violent, and those fifteen or so people inside were still clutching the lives of several police officers, having killed cops before.

"Li Chen, it’s dangerous inside, what are you doing?" Yu Yueying suddenly got anxious and looked angrily at Li Chen, "You’re being irresponsible with people’s lives, do you understand?"

Li Chen remained calm, not caring in the least, and then spoke to his men, "Who has a cigarette?"

Someone immediately handed him a cigarette and even lit it for him.

Li Chen blew out a cloud of smoke, seemingly venting his previous frustration.

"Hey, are you listening?" Yu Yueying became even more anxious, and took the cigarette directly from Li Chen’s hand.

William, standing behind him, looked at Yu Yueying with a curious face, and then smiled inwardly. This woman is quite interesting, no wonder she caught the eye of the King of the Netherworld.
