Chapter 202 Intercept
Chen Chuan immediately sensed something was amiss. He asked, "Commissioner Cao, are you just arranging for me to go?"
Commissioner Cao said, "I'll arrange for Lao Feng to go with you."
Chen Chuan asked: "Can I ask why you do this?"
Commissioner Cao said in a deep voice, "Luo Qi may have records of his private dealings with government officials over the years, including those of the Molan Company. He should also be carrying a large amount of gold notes. Using these, some people in the government will choose to accept him.
Once he enters the government and is promoted by others, he will become a high-ranking official in just a few years and sit face to face with us, so we must get rid of him before he is accepted."
Chen Chuan thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "Commissioner Cao, I understand. I'll leave right away."
Commissioner Cao said, "It's half past two now. If you leave from the General Police Headquarters, you should be there in half an hour. The agreed time is four o'clock, but there's a chance the contact person will arrive earlier, so you might only have half an hour to resolve the issue."
After a pause, he continued, "As the head of the Operations Department, Luo Qi hasn't fought anyone in a long time. His condition isn't any better than Tan Wang, whom you once dealt with. But he has equipment to make up for it. So, if you need anything, you can ask for it now. As long as it's beneficial to this battle, I'll grant it to you."
Chen Chuan understood what he meant. As long as he did it, he could agree to it even if it was a little excessive. He said, "Okay, Commissioner Cao, I'll make the preparations now."
Commissioner Cao said in a deep voice, "Just do your work. There won't be any record of this incident afterwards."
Chen Chuan looked at him and nodded.
Then he turned and left the meeting room. It didn't really matter whether it was recorded or not. The world was full of constraints, one way or another. Once you became strong enough, you could naturally break free.
After going out, Lao Feng was already waiting for him there. Accompanied by the latter, he asked for a large amount of medicine from the person in charge of logistics.
This time he was facing an enemy of the third limit with real combat power, and he only had half an hour, so this time, he asked for a lot of things without hesitation, and also asked for the best protective clothing available at the moment.
Ten minutes later, he got in the car and sped towards the north of the city.
On the way, he kept drinking water from the kettle, while holding the Xuejun Knife tightly in his hand. This time it was not just water, but also a lot of medicine added to it.
Maybe others will care about the damage, but the existence of my second self can protect him from the harm of drugs and let him use them with confidence.
Old Feng looked at him with some concern and reminded him, "Student Chen, try to use less medication in the future."
Chen Chuan sincerely thanked him and said, "Thank you, Special Commissioner Feng. I understand."
Old Feng hummed, and said in a deep voice, "Even if Luo Qi doesn't have that information, we can't keep him alive. He should be eliminated as soon as possible. As the director of Molan Company's External Operations Department, I have records of everything he has done over the years, including a large number of records of killing civilians.
Some were not assigned by the company, but were simply expressing their personal emotions. Such people with no moral integrity should not exist in this world. Although we cannot represent justice, we cannot tolerate such evil either."
Chen Chuan nodded and said seriously, "I will deal with him."
At around 3:15, the car passed through Wujia Town and gradually approached the dock area.
"It's just ahead."
Lao Feng said, "If you go over now, he'll probably think we're sent to pick him up. Can we take advantage of that?"
Chen Chuan thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid I can't use it. He should know me. Even if I'm wearing a mask, he can still recognize me by my figure. So there's no chance of a surprise attack. I can only choose to fight head-on."
Old Feng's eyes grew serious, and he said, "Then be careful. I'll be backing you up from behind. If you feel something's wrong, retreat towards the car. Besides, my marksmanship is decent enough, so I should be able to block a few of his shots."
"Thank you, Special Envoy. I won't hesitate to help you when needed."
Chen Chuan threw the empty water bottle aside, put on a mask and a top hat, and tied his scarf. This was to prevent himself from carrying various poisonous fogs and potions. These things are often hard to guard against. Although the second one can resist it, he will try to use other methods if he can.
Then he picked up the preheated Xuejun Knife, pushed open the car door, got out of the car, looked at the warm afternoon sun, took a box from Lao Feng, and walked on the flat and open concrete road towards the terminal area where containers were piled up.
Last time I defeated Tan Wang, I increased the overlapping time by five hours in one go. After wiping out the people from the Mutual Aid Society, I added another two hours, and now it has reached fifteen hours.
But this time he was only given half an hour.
However, if we can win this battle, the additional time should be even greater, and we should be closer to the goal of overlapping within 24 hours.
This kind of opportunity is actually rare, especially before entering the central city, there are actually very few opponents with support and logistics who can face off head-on.
Therefore, the battle strategy he had in mind was to exchange injury for injury, life for life. He would never be a match for Luo Qi by competing with skills. Only by attacking against attack could he win this battle.
He had read Luo Qi's information before.
This man wasn't from a military background, but rather a true, traditional talent. He rose to the position of Director of Operations primarily through his own abilities, not through force. He was known for his ruthlessness and lack of self-control, having been responsible for many of Molan Company's dirty work over the years.
However, there has indeed been no record of fights in recent years. Once a fighter neglects fighting, even for just a few days, his condition will decline rapidly. If he does not fight for a few years, it is certain that he will not be able to maintain his peak condition.
However, this person can use implants and medication to compensate for the defect, so you should still be as careful as possible.
Near the dock, Luo Qi was waiting there, smoking slowly.
He wore black gloves and a Molan Company uniform, a long sword at his waist, and a metal box at his side. A simple underwater breathing apparatus and a diving membrane were thrown aside by him.
At this time, he noticed Chen Chuan walking over and looked at him from a distance.
Chen Chuan had never seen this person before, but he had seen photos. Luo Qi is now 46 years old, but he looks only about 30 years old. This person has good facial features, but there is a hint of sinisterness between his eyebrows. He always has a stern face and feels very gloomy.
When he came over carrying the Xuejun Knife and the box, Luo Qi flicked the cigarette in his hand, stood there casually and said, "You guys came quickly."
Chen Chuan said: "We are in a hurry."
Luo Qi's eyes fell on the box he was carrying and he said, "Did you bring what I wanted?"
Chen Chuan put the box down, then stuck the Xuejun Knife into the ground and said, "Don't pretend, Manager Luo, you should have recognized me at first sight."
Luo Qi raised his eyebrows and chuckled playfully, "Smart." He glanced behind Chen Chuan and asked, "Why, you came here alone?"
Chen Chuan looked up at him: "Of course not."
Luo Qi said, "I see."
He stretched his neck and shoulders and stared at Chen Chuan. "If someone wanted to deal with me, there wouldn't be just you guys here. So I guess there must be someone else trying to kill me to prevent me from joining the government, right?"
Chen Chuan did not give him an answer. He held the hilt of Xuejun Knife, and as he walked forward, the blade was slowly taken out of the scabbard.
Since there was not much time left, he would not waste any more words with the other party.
Before this, and in the process of coming here, he had been communicating with Xuejun Dao. Even when he met Commissioner Cao, he didn't take it down. Now he has adjusted to the point where he can connect with the sword power at any time.
Luo Qi looked at him and spoke to himself, "It seems you captured that member of the Secret Snake Cult from Central City. Interesting. It seems you used the medicine the Bureau of General Affairs gave you back then. You must have been promoted by the higher-ups, right? Yeah, that's right. I'd like to see how long your medicine lasts."
He reached out and grabbed the hilt of the sword at his waist, pulling out the long sword. The black blade did not reflect anything in the sunlight.
Chen Chuan walked up slowly and picked up the Xuejun Knife. At first, the two of them just looked at each other, but as he approached to a certain distance, the two of them moved almost at the same time, and at this moment, it seemed that the two of them disappeared from the distance together.
Luo Qi chose to hold the sword with both hands and thrust it straight forward, while Chen Chuan held the knife with both hands and slashed down from the front. It seemed that he had no intention of dodging at all.
Luo Qi saw that he did not dodge or evade. Originally, his speed seemed to be comparable to Chen Chuan's. However, after taking two steps, his speed suddenly increased as the modified tendons under his feet were pulled!
However, when Chen Chuan witnessed this scene, his expression did not change, and the posture of his knife chopping down did not change at all.
Luo Qi narrowed his eyes. If he continued like this, he would definitely be able to stab Chen Chuan in the chest. Even if Chen Chuan was wearing protective clothing, he was confident that he could pierce the latter through.
But if Chen Chuan didn't die immediately, the knife could still chop him down. With his observation ability, he could tell at a glance that the knife was not simple, and he felt a strong sense of threat to himself.
So when he saw that Chen Chuan did not dodge or evade until the end, and seemed willing to die with him, he had to change his tactics at the moment when they were about to make contact. He flipped his wrist upwards, raised the sword and deflected the chopping blade.
However, because the change of moves was hasty, and Chen Chuan was moving forward, holding the sword with both hands and exerting full strength, he only felt the sword body vibrate, as if it was about to fly away from his wrist, and a force was transmitted directly into his body.
He only felt a tightness in his chest, and quickly mobilized the alienated tissues in his body to absorb this force layer by layer. At the same time, he used the toughness of the implanted tendons to move his body back several steps to the side, taking this opportunity to dissipate the force.
Chen Chuan also felt a force coming from the sword and penetrating into his body, but when the second me became slightly blurred, he himself was not affected at all. He twisted his waist and made another diagonal move, and a flash of knife light swept straight towards Luo Qi's neck!
