Asked you to write a book, not to confess your criminal record!

In the corridor outside, the doors to the stairwells slammed shut automatically.

"That small room over there must be your escape route,"

Lin Chuan raised his hand and pointed, his gaze landing in the small room inside the office, the mechanical sound was coming from there.

Yu Keke's lips curled into a smile, "You really are a clever one."

The Morgan Group had become a giant in the global underworld because of their strong sense of security and thorough precautions.

As a Morgan Group elite rooted in Anling City and in charge of the addictive drugs supply chain, Yu Keke had prudently designed an escape route early on, in case of situations like today.

She had prepared for this very scenario.

It was precisely because Lin Chuan had found out about Yu Keke's secret escape route that he had come to Anling Pharmaceuticals alone tonight, to intercept her.

He didn't want to let the tiger return to the mountain!

If he let Yu Keke go, he couldn't guarantee he'd be able to thwart every move she made.

He had a family, a Little Landlady.

Especially considering every step Yu Keke had taken against the Little Landlady, made Lin Chuan feel a flutter of panic—he could not allow her to get away.

He had approached the meeting alone, as a sign of his resolve!

"Madam Manager, we're running out of time," one of the muscular men said in English.

"Alright, let's evacuate now."

Yu Keke nodded.

"What about him?" the muscular man asked, nodding towards Lin Chuan.

"Deal with him right here!"

Yu Keke made up her mind and commanded in a stern tone.

By now, she had realized that she couldn't possibly win over Lin Chuan. Forcibly taking him along would only add to the burden of her escape and cause unnecessary trouble.

Better to handle it directly on the spot!

One had to admit, this was a wise decision in an emergency!

Lin Chuan's expression turned stern, his hand already in his pocket.

The six burly men in front of him were holding weapons, and not far away, Yu Keke had taken out a pistol from the safe next to her seat.

"Indeed, making a pistol is no difficult task for them,"

Lin Chuan glanced and spat in his mind.

He recognized the pistol in Yu Keke's hand as a 'Glock 17 pistol,' which seemed not to be a product of military lines, but rather a homemade or assembled item.

This model, often used by military and police, had only 32 parts including the slide, magazine body, follower, locking block, and the recoil spring guide rod, many of which were made of plastic.

For the Morgan Group, which engaged in producing and trading 'military weapons,' they had a military technology arsenal. Making a gun or two like this in secret domestically and equipping Yu Keke for self-defense was a piece of cake.

"Are you scared?"

Yu Keke smiled, slowly advancing on Lin Chuan.

The six burly men's massive figures surrounded Lin Chuan, seemingly making it impossible for him to break through 'this human barrier.'

Lin Chuan was in danger!

...

Meanwhile.

The elevators at Anzhou Pharmaceutical had been shut down. Shen Qianqian and Hu Daqiang, leading a team, had burst up the stairs.

However, the stone-cold doors of the stairwell, which they had planned to quickly breach to access the Manager's office floor and support Lin Chuan in capturing Yu Keke, were blocking their way.

The door was locked!

"What do we do?"

Shen Qianqian frowned deeply, eyes filled with urgency.

The door before them wasn't a common hallway fire door but a reinforced 'double-locked security door' made with a high-strength cold-rolled steel plate, seemingly indestructible.

With a thickness that far exceeded the standards of ordinary security doors, and being double-layered, even their forceful charges and prying attempts couldn't open this security door in a short time.

This was an unexpected problem in their plan!

Every minute they delayed added to the danger Lin Chuan was in!

Lin Chuan was undoubtedly in peril now!

"Can we pick the lock?"

Captain Hu Daqiang, the Criminal Police Brigade chief, furrowed his brows tightly, his sharp eyes examining the lock on the door.

In that moment.

A team member with a bit of knowledge replied, "It's a dual-lock system that requires both a mechanical code and an electronic fingerprint to unlock. Directly opening it would likely be impossible even for a skilled locksmith."

Shen Qianqian's heart thumped wildly.

She was in turmoil; Lin Chuan could probably pick this lock if he were here, but he was inside!

At this point, Lin Chuan and Yu Keke were probably already in combat.

"Cheetah to Cheetah, based on monitoring, Target One has a handgun, six thugs surrounding Falcon, Falcon is in grave danger!"

At that moment, the voice of Xia Qingqing came through the walkie-talkie in Captain Hu's hand.

Xia Qingqing had always been in charge of monitoring Lin Chuan's movements.

When she heard the word "gun," her heart skipped a beat and clenched tight.

This was a situation they had anticipated.

But gun combat increased the danger level to the maximum!

"Gun?"

Hu Daqiang, Shen Qianqian, and the rest of the operation team known as 'Cheetah' tensed up,

"We have reached the stairwell but we're blocked by a security door, can't get in, and are trying to figure out a way to break through!" Hu Daqiang picked up the walkie-talkie, his tone heavy.

"Received, will notify the technical team to provide support immediately!"

Xia Qingqing's expression was resolute as she reacted instantly.

"This door is a double-lock security door, we can also attempt to get internal authorization to enter!"

Shen Qianqian took the walkie-talkie, her voice urgent and clear as it transmitted out.

"Internal authorization..."

Xia Qingqing exclaimed in surprise, then immediately replied, "Okay, I'm on it right now!"

To obtain internal permission undoubtedly meant finding the 'internal security management system' for the security door and then using administrator authority to grant access to open it.

For Xia Qingqing, this was a formidable technical challenge!

However, she did not possess Lin Chuan's skills.

Finding the 'internal security management system' and obtaining permission in a short time was nearly impossible!

At the stairway, outside the double-lock security door.

Shen Qianqian was burning with anxiety and tried various lock-picking methods, but to no avail.

She suddenly felt some regret!

She thought she should not have agreed to let Lin Chuan take the risk alone tonight, holding off Yu Keke by himself.

At the very least, she should have accompanied Lin Chuan in action!

If she had been more adamant at the time, maybe Lin Chuan wouldn't have gone alone!

This won't do!

Sitting idly by was not an option! Find your next read on m_v l|e'm-p| y r

With her nerves wound tight, an idea suddenly struck Shen Qianqian, "Captain Hu, I'll take a few team members, try to climb up to the roof, then descend from above, and enter through the window into the general manager's office!"

Hu Daqiang's gaze met Shen Qianqian's for a moment.

He distinctly saw the determination in Shen Qianqian's eyes, knowing she was desperate to quickly support Lin Chuan.

However, breaking in through the window was extremely dangerous.

This wasn't a scene from movies or TV shows.

In reality, if there's a professional hitman guarding the window, they would attack as soon as they spot someone, making the possibility of entering through the window very low!

Moreover, Yu Keke had a gun.

Getting shot at a high altitude and falling to the ground almost certainly meant death!

Therefore, Captain Hu refused, "No, it's too dangerous!"

"Captain Hu, I don't want anything to happen to Lin Chuan," Shen Qianqian said in a low tone, her eyes filled with resolve.

Shen Qianqian wasn't overly concerned about her own safety, but was thinking about Lin Chuan's situation!

"You know Comrade Lin Chuan, he always does things he is certain about!"

Hu Daqiang spoke earnestly and added, "The technical team will be here soon, they have specialized tools for breaking through doors!"

As they spoke, the technical team had arrived.

Hu Daqiang, Shen Qianqian, and the others quickly made room for the technical team.

The leading technician, an experienced master, glanced at the door and judged that opening it using technology alone was unrealistic.

So, the technical team resorted to the most straightforward and crude method.

Sawing open!

For this type of steel plate, a metal-cutting saw was needed, and fortunately, these tools had been prepared to ensure the operation's success.

Soon, the experienced master and two other technicians brought out the metal-cutting saw.

They quickly marked a cutting area on the security door.

Click!

The master pressed the start button, and the saw's motor roared into life instantly; the blade spun at an astonishing speed, with a silvery light tracing a path and holding everyone's breath.

Especially Shen Qianqian.

She focused intently on the saw blade, ready to burst through as soon as there was a gap in the door!

No hesitation!

Suddenly!

Just as the master's metal-cutting saw was about to touch the 'double-layered extra-thick stainless steel security door,'

the door suddenly opened!
