You went on a blind date and presented an A-level wanted criminal as a meeting gift?

After confirming that the Smiling Buddha was completely unable to resist, Lin Chen casually put the remote control into his pocket.

He turned his head to look in the direction of the load-bearing column.

"Qingcheng, come out, it's alright now."

Ye Qingcheng emerged from the shadows, her high heels clicking crisply on the floor strewn with bullet casings and blood.

Even a female CEO with billions in assets, who was used to the cutthroat world of business, turned pale at the sight of the corpses scattered on the ground and the pitiful sight of the smiling Buddha kneeling on the ground.

But when she walked up to Lin Chen and felt the calm aura emanating from this man, the fear in her heart instantly vanished.

"Honey, are you alright?" Ye Qingcheng looked Lin Chen up and down.

"These rotten fish and shrimps can't hurt me."

Lin Chen smiled and reached out to ruffle Ye Qingcheng's hair.

Then, Lin Chen took out an anti-interference satellite phone from the system space and skillfully dialed Su Qingge's number.

The phone was answered after ringing less than two times.

Su Qingge's anxious voice came through the receiver: "Lin Chen! How's the situation on your end? The location shows you're in international waters, please don't act rashly!"

Lin Chen replied casually, "Wife, let's bring some men to international waters to close the net."

"The coordinates are the Poseidon cruise ship."

"The big fish has been caught. We'll also bring a few ambulances; there are quite a few hostages here that need to be dealt with."

Su Qingge on the other end of the phone paused for two seconds, then burst into immense joy: "Okay! I'll take people over right away! Be careful, wait for me!"

hang up the phone.

Lin Chen led Ye Qingcheng up to the second floor.

He easily dealt with a few stragglers hiding in the shadows, trembling and barely able to hold their guns, and then released all the hostages from the water tank.

The hostages were so frightened that they hugged each other and cried.

Ye Qingcheng demonstrated the ability to control the situation as a female CEO, gently comforting the frightened ordinary people and quickly calming them down.

Time passed by, second by second.

A few hours later.

At the horizon, more than a dozen blindingly bright searchlights lit up!

Immediately afterwards, the roar of a huge engine tore through the night wind at sea.

Five fully armed coast guard vessels, like steel behemoths, broke through the waves and surrounded the massive "Poseidon" cruise ship.

In the sky, three heavy police helicopters hovered above the cruise ship, their rotors creating violent gusts of air.

"Listen up, you men! You are surrounded! Drop your weapons immediately and put your hands behind your heads!"

The loudspeaker on the helicopter began broadcasting on a loop.

Fully armed special police officers quickly rappelled down the ropes onto the cruise ship deck.

Wearing a black tactical bulletproof vest and carrying a submachine gun, Su Qingge was the first to rush into the banquet hall.

Li Mingyu followed closely behind with a team of special police officers.

When they rushed into the banquet hall and saw what was inside...

Everyone suddenly stopped in their tracks.

The entire SWAT team fell into a deathly silence.

"Holy crap..."

Li Mingyu's eyes widened, and he managed to squeeze out two words with difficulty.

Shell casings were scattered all over the ground.

The walls were riddled with bullet holes.

More than forty heavily armed mercenaries lay sprawled in pools of blood, their deaths gruesome, all killed with a single blow.

Meanwhile, the cunning "Smiling Buddha," who had been on Interpol's wanted list for over a decade, was kneeling in the center of the hall, bleeding from all seven orifices, drooling, and grinning like a fool.

"This...this was all done by Consultant Lin alone?" A young special police officer swallowed hard, feeling his worldview being greatly shaken.

How could one person, unarmed, take down a fully armed mercenary company?

Just as everyone was too shocked to speak.

Footsteps could be heard on the stairs on the second floor.

Lin Chen took Ye Qingcheng's hand and leisurely walked downstairs.

His leisurely stroll made it seem as if he had just attended an ordinary dinner party.

"Qingge, you've arrived."

Lin Chen walked up to Su Qingge, took out a black encrypted hard drive from his pocket, and handed it to her.

"This was found in the safe in the Laughing Buddha's private room."

"It contains the global buyer list of the Dragon Seeking Society, all the flow of funds, and the hiding places of those stolen national treasures."

"With this, your Major Crimes Unit will be busy for at least half a year."

Su Qingge took the hard drive and looked at Lin Chen, who was completely unharmed.

She could no longer control her emotions, so she threw the bottle in her hand to Li Mingyu next to her, took a step forward, and hugged Lin Chen tightly.

"You scared me to death, you know that?!"

Su Qingge buried her face in Lin Chen's chest, her voice clearly trembling with sobs.

Lin Chen patted her back and comforted her softly.

Ye Qingcheng, who was standing next to her, was displeased.

She coughed lightly, crossed her arms, and said in a cool tone, "Captain Su, watch your manners. I was the one who helped him arrest him. You're just hugging him like that; aren't you showing me no respect?"

Upon hearing this, Su Qingge blushed and quickly released Lin Chen.

But she wouldn't back down, glaring at Ye Qingcheng: "I'm a police officer, what's wrong with me caring about my husband? What do you, a capitalist, know about risking your life?"

"Hehe, I don't understand, but I know that without my 10 billion in verification funds, how could you have caught this smiling Buddha?" Ye Qingcheng said without backing down.

Watching two stunningly beautiful women bickering over a man in a banquet hall filled with corpses.

Li Mingyu watched from the side, swallowing hard.

He mentally screamed: "Brother Lin's ability to handle things is even more terrifying than his fighting ability! How come they didn't fight?"

Lin Chen quickly stepped in to smooth things over.

"Alright, alright, stop arguing, let's talk about it when we get back."

Lin Chen turned to Li Mingyu: "Mingyu, you're in charge of cleaning up the scene. The hostages are on the second floor, make sure they're settled properly."

"Yes, Brother Lin! Don't worry, I guarantee I'll complete the mission!"
