Chapter 229: Chapter 226 You’re Bleeding"Li Qianru’s circle of contacts are all prominent figures, including high-ranking officials and company CEOs. This makes the situation difficult to handle." Zhang Lu paused for a moment and then appeared troubled.

    Ye Fan immediately said, "Managing such a large human trafficking network involves many people, especially those in high positions. It’s impossible to discreetly take the children out without some paperwork. Additionally, transporting the captured children by linking with companies is an important channel."

    Ye Fan was indifferent to whatever difficulties Zhang Lu might have, and unceremoniously said, "We must take this opportunity to expose the scoundrels associating with Li Qianru. If we delay, it will be hard to catch the big fish. More importantly, if Blood Rose learns of Red Skull’s death, she will certainly send someone to take over the business, and all efforts will be wasted."

    "I understand everything you’re saying, but one wrong move could reveal my actions. Also, Li Qianru’s network is extensive, and tracing back will be extremely difficult," Zhang Lu said bitterly.

    "Didn’t you swear you wanted me to help you investigate this massive child trafficking network for the children’s sake? Now, there’s been huge progress, yet you’re hesitating. If you miss this opportunity, who knows how many children will suffer? Weigh the pros and cons yourself." Ye Fan cautioned meaningfully, "I can only assist you. To break this network, you’ll have to rely on yourself."

    "I will report this to the organization and then have the organization deploy reliable forces to take action." Zhang Lu finally said decisively. Sёarch* The n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    She knew the tangled interests behind Li Qianru, but now she had no choice but to take ruthless measures.

    "Li Qianru is already doomed, but there’s another person that must be eliminated." Zhang Lu looked at Ye Fan and said coldly, "Nagatani Meiaki is definitely at Li Qianru’s residence. If we confront her, we’ll definitely gain something. Given Nagatani Meiaki’s hacking skills, I need your assistance."

    "Alright, let’s act." Ye Fan stood up; as for the direct murderer of Shen Yahut, he certainly wouldn’t let them go.

    "No, you can’t go." Chu Mengyao immediately objected.

    Chu Biyao softly said, "Ye Fan, you’re injured and need rest. You can’t run around. Let the police deal with this."

    Ye Fan appreciated the concern of the two sisters. He patted his chest and assured them, "See, I’m fine. Don’t worry, I won’t get hurt. I’m worried Zhang Lu might not be able to handle Nagatani Meiaki alone."

    "Are you really okay? Don’t you need to rest for a few days to recuperate?" Chu Mengyao said worriedly, "I also want Nagatani Meiaki, the murderer, to be punished appropriately, but you’ve lost a lot of blood, and your wounds need time to heal."

    "Don’t worry. Let Zhang Lu handle the fighting. Nagatani Meiaki’s hacking skills are formidable. I have to catch her. If she’s given a chance to escape, it will be hard to catch her again." Ye Fan said softly.

    "Be careful." Reluctantly, the two sisters watched Ye Fan leave.

    "Policewoman, make sure to perform well. If Ye Fan’s wounds tear open because he intervenes, see how I’ll deal with you." Chu Biyao warned.

    Zhang Lu could only agree wholeheartedly, keeping the words of the two sisters in mind.

    In the car, Zhang Lu finally asked, "You’re injured? You, injured? How is that possible? Is Red Skull so formidable?"

    She was puzzled and surprised because she knew Ye Fan’s skills and didn’t expect someone so powerful to get hurt.

    She couldn’t help but suspect that maybe Li Qianru is indeed formidable.

    "It’s no big deal, just drive." Ye Fan said casually.

    With nothing more to say, Ye Fan didn’t want to speak further, so Zhang Lu tactfully refrained from asking.

    At Li Qianru’s residence, after parking the car, the two forcibly broke in.

    "Who are you? Seeking death!" Immediately, four men rushed out, their eyes filled with murderous intent upon seeing Ye Fan and Zhang Lu.

    The residence had only these four bodyguards who knew that anyone visiting Li Qianru had appointments and only visit when Li Qianru was present. Ye Fan and Zhang Lu’s hostile purpose instantly stirred their killing intent.

    "Four useless fools, I won’t even bother." Zhang Lu sneered and confronted them.

    Swiftly, Zhang Lu and the four men were locked in fierce combat.

    Punches and kicks flew, exuding a mighty aura.

    Being Li Qianru’s bodyguards, the four men were quite skilled. Although Zhang Lu had an advantage, it was impossible to quickly subdue all four.

    "Kill the two at all costs." The four knew something major had occurred, but those daring to trespass Red Skull’s residence had to die.

    "I wanted to watch, but couldn’t help it." Ye Fan moved, lifting both feet and skillfully, sent two flying into the wall, knocking them unconscious.

    Immediately after, he executed a flying kick, knocking another unconscious.

    The last of the four gawked at Ye Fan, stunned with fear, giving Zhang Lu a chance to strike him down.

    "Didn’t I say to watch? I could handle them." Zhang Lu glared at Ye Fan.

    "Battle quickly, don’t give Nagatani Meiaki a chance to breathe. If you take too long, the flower will wither." Ye Fan said calmly.

    Zhang Lu was very unwilling, but couldn’t deny Ye Fan’s superiority. However, she couldn’t ignore Chu Mengyao and Chu Biyao’s warnings, especially seeing Ye Fan’s blood-stained chest, which worried her. If Ye Fan’s wound reopened upon returning, Mengyao might not complain, but if Biyao made things difficult for her, she wouldn’t be able to face it.

    "You’re bleeding? You’re injured; please don’t force it, alright?" Zhang Lu said helplessly.

    "I don’t have time to show off. After dealing with Nagatani Meiaki, I’ll leave the rest to you." Ye Fan began searching for Nagatani Meiaki.

    His wound, just stitched up, ruptured upon moving. But this minor wound wasn’t serious, just a few extra drops of blood.

    Zhang Lu shook her head in helplessness. She knew Ye Fan wasn’t the type to show off, and blamed herself for being incompetent, making Ye Fan step in.

    In the room, Nagatani Meiaki immediately sensed something, looking at the computer screen displaying Ye Fan and Zhang Lu’s images. Her gaze turned extremely cold.

    "Red Skull and K1, could something have happened?" Nagatani Meiaki felt as if struck by lightning, with the thought exploding in her mind.

    She couldn’t determine the cause of Red Skull’s failure or their current life or death, but she had a suspicion: Red Skull might be gone.

    Nagatani Meiaki shut down the internal network and surveillance, then hid in the secret room.
