Ten minutes later.
Chu Lingtian and Xiao Lengyue met at a coffee shop.
Upon meeting, Chu Lingtian eagerly began to question Xiao Lengyue about the situation.
Xiao Lengyue smiled and said, "What's the rush? I'll tell you everything I know!"
"Heh heh, I'm just eager to find someone," Chu Lingtian replied.
Chu Lingtian had called Xiao Lengyue earlier, asking her to help gather information from some thugs about human traffickers in Dachang City.
The Ninth Princess had disappeared inexplicably in Dachang City, and it was possible she had been kidnapped by traffickers. He couldn't afford to miss any clues, as the longer he delayed, the more danger the Ninth Princess would be in.
Xiao Lengyue took a sip of water and said, "You know, one of the thugs actually confessed something. See if it helps you?"
"He said that half a month ago, he helped a trafficker known as Brother Kun transport a batch of goods. Among them was a girl with a Beijing accent who kept muttering that she was the Dragon Lord's Ninth Princess..."
Upon hearing this, Chu Lingtian immediately grabbed Xiao Lengyue and headed for the exit.
"Don't drink anymore. I can treat you to as many cups as you want another day!" Chu Lingtian said. "But now you have to take me to find that guy. I want to question him myself about this. The girl he mentioned is very likely the one I'm looking for..."
Xiao Lengyue frowned. "Is your friend out of his mind? Claiming to be the Dragon Lord's Ninth Princess?"
"I can't explain it to you in a moment. I'll explain later. You just need to come with me to find the person now!"
Xiao Lengyue didn't understand why Chu Lingtian was suddenly so anxious, but she didn't ask further and followed him back to the police station.
She found the thug alone and began to interrogate him. The man seemed to realize something and denied everything he had said before, and also denied knowing Brother Kun.
Xiao Lengyue said angrily, "You didn't say that earlier! You'd better be honest, or I'll keep you locked up for a few more days!"
The man sneered, "Officer, can I just be joking?"
It turned out that when he saw Xiao Lengyue bringing a stranger for his interrogation, he immediately realized he had slipped up. If Brother Kun found out he had sold him out, he wouldn't just face jail time; he'd be killed within minutes.
"Impossible, you must know something!" Xiao Lengyue insisted.
Chu Lingtian said, "Even if he knows something, he won't tell you. Spending time in jail is better than getting killed!"
The man gave Chu Lingtian a thumbs-up and smiled, "This officer is smart. You can beat me to death, and I still won't say anything!" "Just consider what I said earlier a joke and don't take it to heart!"
Xiao Lengyue glared at him angrily, but she couldn't do anything to him. She couldn't exactly use torture in the police station.
"Chu Lingtian, I'm sorry! I couldn't help you this time!"
Chu Lingtian smiled and said, "You don't need to say that. You've already helped me a great deal, and I know what to do now!"
He then turned to look at the thug with a smile.
"Officer, you don't have to look at me like that. I'm really scared!" he said provocatively. "Why don't you come in and beat me up, maybe then I'll talk. But there are cameras everywhere!"
His arrogant demeanor made Xiao Lengyue want to beat him up.
"You should indeed be scared. We will soon leak the information you provided and launch a pursuit of Brother Kun!" Chu Lingtian said slowly. "If Brother Kun finds out, will he retaliate against you?"
He paused and added, "Oh, I almost forgot, you're safe at the police station. But your family's safety is another matter, isn't it?"
Instantly, the man's expression changed, and he lunged at Chu Lingtian.
"I warn you, if anything happens to my family, I will not let you go!" the man said with fierce eyes.
"It seems you're looking for the wrong person. The one who will kill your whole family is your Brother Kun. You should seek revenge from him... Never mind, you'll be in prison for the rest of your life!" Chu Lingtian sighed. "When your family becomes wandering spirits, it will indeed be quite pitiful."
The man's expression shifted again. He wasn't afraid of going to prison, but he didn't want his entire family to suffer.
"If you cooperate with us, and once Brother Kun is caught, I guarantee no one will know you betrayed him. We will also give you some money to take your family and leave Dachang City." Chu Lingtian smiled slightly. "You have two paths to choose from. I hope you choose the right one!"
After hesitating for a long time, the man looked up at Chu Lingtian. "Fine, I'll tell you everything, but you must guarantee the safety of my entire family!" he said.
"Speak! The police will keep their word!"
Immediately, the man confessed everything he knew.
As it turned out, the Ninth Princess had indeed been kidnapped by Brother Kun's men. According to the information provided by the man, the Ninth Princess was likely being sent to the border. If Chu Lingtian didn't hurry, she would be sold off at the border. If the Ninth Princess was sold to another country, the consequences would be dire.
"Find a way to contact Brother Kun. Tell him you have goods and want to meet for a transaction!" The man didn't know where the Ninth Princess was being held.
"Okay, I'll contact Brother Kun's subordinate, Brother Qiang, immediately!"
Chu Lingtian nodded with a smile and let him make the call. The call went through quickly. The man was surprisingly calm and didn't reveal any major flaws, actually managing to contact Brother Kun.
"Brother Kun wants to inspect the goods online! He will only come to pick them up once he confirms the goods meet his requirements!"
Chu Lingtian said, "Don't worry about that. I'll arrange it right away. Hold on tight!"
Chu Lingtian immediately thought of Bai Mei. He had been so busy lately that he hadn't had time to go back and spend time with her. The two flight attendants had also messaged him, asking him to return immediately for an important discussion, but he had ignored them.
Chu Lingtian called Bai Mei. On the phone, Bai Mei sounded overjoyed.
"Oh my, you've finally contacted me! Have you forgotten about me and Xiao Yan?" Bai Mei said coquettishly. "I miss you so much that I can't sleep. I need you to fill my body!"
She was now Chu Lingtian's woman in every sense of the word, and her words were full of seduction.
"Oh my, hurry back! I miss you, I miss your treasure!"
Bai Mei was as playful as ever. If it were any other time, Chu Lingtian might have teased her back, but he had no interest now.
"Alright, Bai Mei, find me thirty young and beautiful girls, then send me their photos. And do it quickly!" Chu Lingtian said.
Bai Mei was taken aback. Was Chu Lingtian planning to choose concubines? He was suddenly looking for thirty young and beautiful girls. The girls might be able to handle it, but could he? Although Chu Lingtian's stamina was extraordinary, fifty young girls would be quite a handful.
