"Why should I believe you?" Lin Chuan looked at Lv Yan with suspicion.
"If you don't believe, then forget it." Lv Yan turned around and got into the car.
"Wait." Lin Chuan hastily rebuked: "What organization does Fang Yuan belong to? Is she from the Fire Butterfly Organization like you?"
Lv Yan trembled all over, she slowly turned around, looked at Lin Chuan with an incredulous expression, and said, "How... how did you know?"
"Hmph." Lin Chuan snorted coldly and said, "Who doesn't know about the Fire Butterfly mark on your buttock? I have had encounters with Fire Butterfly and killed some of its leaders. It's kind of a feud."
"Since you already know, let's find a place to sit down," Lv Yan suddenly changed her demeanor, instantly becoming gloomy and fierce.
"Alright." Lin Chuan stepped into Lv Yan's car.
The car headed to Eight Horses Tea House, Lin Chuan's territory, where there was no worry about eavesdropping or inadequate security measures.
Upon entering the tea house, Lv Yan couldn't help but tease: "I didn't expect that the green young boy from back then has now become the second most important person in the east district of the city."
"Times change." Lin Chuan pushed open the door of the tea room and said, "Some things we should forget, right? Please, come in!"
"Thank you!" Lv Yan walked in with a candid smile.
After sitting down, Lin Chuan brewed tea.
Lv Yan sat down opposite Lin Chuan, face to face.
Lin Chuan brewed a cup of black tea for Lv Yan and smiled, "Here, black tea warms the stomach. Judging by your complexion, you probably have symptoms of cold stomach."
"How did you know?" Lv Yan asked in surprise.
"I can tell somewhat." Lin Chuan smiled and said, "It seems you suffer a bit from stomach ache, especially on an empty stomach, the pain is worse, right?"
"That's correct." Lv Yan expressed surprise, "I didn't expect you to know some medicine?"
"Haha, you flatter me." Lin Chuan laughed heartily.
"It seems I really underestimated you," Lv Yan said with a candid smile.
"So, tell me, how has Fire Butterfly infiltrated into China?" Lin Chuan asked with a smile.
"Fire Butterfly's infiltration into China isn't something recent," Lv Yan glanced at Lin Chuan and said, "The leader of Fire Butterfly is a Chinese person, very capable."
"You've met?" Lin Chuan looked at Lv Yan with surprise.
"No, I have never met him." Lv Yan shook her head.
"Since you haven't met him, why would you say so?" Lin Chuan looked at Lin Chuan questioningly and said, "Seeing isn't necessarily believing, let alone just hearing about it."
"I…" Lv Yan paused slightly and said, "Inside the Fire Butterfly Organization, the hierarchy is very strict; superiors know a lot about their subordinates, but subordinates know nothing about their superiors. For us low-level members, not to speak of the leader, even meeting middle-level officers is difficult."
"Then... what rank does Fang Yuan belong to?" Lin Chuan asked curiously.
"She is my superior," Lv Yan sighed, "It was only recently that she approached me, and I found out. Turns out, my superior has always been around me, passing on various tasks. Haha..."
Towards the end, Lv Yan seemed a bit spaced out, as if feeling the world was small. Perhaps feeling that members of Fire Butterfly were everywhere, or everywhere was part of it.
"What did Fang Yuan tell you?" Lin Chuan asked curiously.
"Her?" Lv Yan was slightly surprised, then smiled, "Actually, she didn't say much, just some things about the organization. She also told me that the organization asked her to either turn you against us or kill you. But, the mission failed."
"What?" Lin Chuan was shocked.
Although he could have guessed it, actually accepting such a thing was still somewhat difficult for Lin Chuan.
"That's right." Lv Yan nodded, "Fang Yuan intended to either kill you or recruit you into Fire Butterfly. Unfortunately, she developed feelings, so she couldn't kill you. If she wanted to, it would have been very easy, even as simple as turning a hand, just by adding some poison to your drink, you would undoubtedly die. Yet, she didn't do it, missing the best chance to kill you."
"So she got taken back by the organization?" Lin Chuan's face twitched.
All this was indeed beyond Lin Chuan's expectations; he even doubted the authenticity of this story itself. He found it hard to believe it was true, even harder to believe she would sacrifice herself for someone unrelated.
"That's right." Lv Yan nodded, "Judging by the personality of the organization, it's unlikely she has much chance to live."
Whoosh...
Lin Chuan suddenly stood up.
"No, I need to go save her." Lin Chuan spoke out.
"Are you crazy?" Lv Yan frowned, "What are you going to save her with?"
"With my fists." Lin Chuan clenched his teeth and said.
"You think you can?" Lv Yan scoffed, then said: "I'm telling you, even the Delta Force from the United States respects the Fire Butterfly Organization."
Actually, Lin Chuan does not think much of the Fire Butterfly Organization. He truly did not want to dishearten Lv Yan, as several mid-level managers and leaders of Fire Butterfly had been killed by him. The deep-seated enmity between them was precisely because of this. The Fire Butterfly Organization did possess capabilities, but they could do nothing against the Dark Soldier, and even less against Lin Chuan. Lin Chuan was the captain of the Dark Soldier, the leader and spirit of this squad. Lin Chuan's existence was a strike and provocation to the Fire Butterfly Organization. Thus, the Fire Butterfly Organization had always been trying everything possible to eliminate Lin Chuan.
"That's right." Lin Chuan nodded.
"You can't do it!" Lv Yan shook her head.
"Why not?" Lin Chuan asked.
"Even if you have the strength to defeat the Fire Butterfly, you still can't find the organization's location." Lv Yan glanced at Lin Chuan and said: "Although I know Fang Yuan went to Shanghai, Shanghai is so vast, isn't trying to find one person like searching for a needle in the sea?"
Lin Chuan's expression instantly darkened, Lv Yan was right, to try and find Fang Yuan in the vast Shanghai with just one person's strength was indeed a very difficult task. However, it was a task he could not ignore.
The more Lin Chuan thought, the more angry he became, his fists clenched tightly.
"Anyway, you handle this matter yourself." Lv Yan glanced at Lin Chuan and said: "I'm just mentioning it because I consider you a friend. Fang Yuan's well-being is none of my business. I'm just feeling a bit uneasy about it in my conscience."
"Thank you." Lin Chuan nodded.
"Alright, I should be going now." Lv Yan stood up and walked straight towards the door. Reaching the door, she suddenly stopped, then said: "Lin Chuan, thanks for the tea."
After saying that, Lv Yan walked out.
Lin Chuan stood at the doorway, hesitating for a long time. He could not make a decision. With his capacities, if he just stood out, if he just waved his hand, there would be countless capable people to assist him. Unfortunately, Lin Chuan did not do so.
With Lin Chuan's abilities and interpersonal relationships, not to mention Shanghai, even in any corner of the world, he can find help.
United Kingdom, Holland, United States...
His private relations with these countries were very good. As long as Lin Chuan spoke up, there really would be no one unwilling to help him. Helping Lin Chuan would mean a chance for him to help them in the future. Favors for Lin Chuan were minor, while the help they sought from him were definitely major international matters.
Of course, if it were domestic, Lin Chuan only needed to find a few brothers from the Dark Soldier, and they could turn Shanghai upside down. But Lin Chuan did not want to disturb anyone. Just like the bold words he had declared when he left, he would not return in this lifetime.
He left with a grand posture and did not want to return humbly to seek assistance.
Lin Chuan is proud, Lin Chuan is dazzling. He does not allow himself to fail, nor does he allow any darkness in his life. Troubles are solved by himself; problems are handled by himself. Even if the sky were falling, he would shoulder it alone.
"Brother Chuan, what's wrong?" Zhou Kai entered the Eight Horses Tea House and noticed Lin Chuan's face was looking a bit off.
"It's nothing." Lin Chuan shook his head.
"Is it that lady from the police station giving you trouble?" Zhou Kai was startled, said: "Damn, I'm gonna go sort her out."
As he spoke, Zhou Kai left in a rage.
"Stop!" Lin Chuan immediately shouted at him.
"Brother Chuan, don't stop me." Zhou Kai said through gritted teeth.
"It has nothing to do with her." Lin Chuan shook his head, said: "Actually, I should thank her."
"Then... then you..." Zhou Kai looked puzzled at Lin Chuan.
"Fang Yuan is in trouble." Lin Chuan sighed deeply.
"Fang Yuan?" Zhou Kai looked at Lin Chuan in surprise, said: "Which Fang Yuan?"
"Night Color Bar." Lin Chuan glanced at Zhou Kai.
"Brother Chuan, you mean that bar girl?" Lin Chuan curiously asked.
"Yes!" Lin Chuan nodded, somewhat enlightened, said: "That bar girl."
"What does her trouble have to do with us?" Zhou Kai looked puzzled at Lin Chuan, said: "Brother Chuan, you wouldn't happen to have feelings for that bar girl, would you?"
"No!" Lin Chuan shook his head.
"Then why are you so nervous?" Zhou Kai chuckled.
Lin Chuan smiled and then said, "No, I just consider her as a friend."
"I see." Zhou Kai thought for a moment, said: "It's alright, she's just a bar girl. Whatever trouble she's in, it has nothing to do with us. In terms of looks, she's not as pretty as Secretary Tang; in terms of figure, she's not as good as that Japanese girl Qingzi. Hehe... Brother Chuan, if I were you, I'd make Secretary Tang my wife and Qingzi my mistress..."
"What are you filling your head with all these absurd thoughts?" Lin Chuan looked at Zhou Kai with annoyance.
"Hehe, I'm just speaking the truth," Zhou Kai hurriedly said: "Brother Chuan, why hasn't that Japanese girl contacted you yet?"
"I don't know." Lin Chuan shook his head, said: "She has her own work, where does she find the time to contact me?"
