BXBX NOVEL Chapter 261 Catching Rats
Chapter 261 Catching Rats
"Luo Bo! Jia Le! A nice coincidence! Here, take this, a souvenir from Belgium. Whether you share it with Bin Yong and Shi Zuo that is a matter I will close my eyes to." Xiong Da passed each of them a bag full of premium Belgium chocolates, all beautifully wrapped.
"Wow, Thanks Xiong Da! How was the trip with Ruo Ying? I am more interested in that! Cannot believe you immediately flew away to a faraway place to spend some quality time with her." Jia Le thanked Xiong Da as she admired the wrapped box.
"Oh, She and I had some good heart to heart talk and did some sightseeing along with some couple activities. I have yet to thank all of you properly for helping me to get back Ruo Ying." Xiong Da replied.
"Oh ho ho ho~! Xiong Da no longer a Wizard?" Luo Bo smirked at Xiong Da, but he could not help but laughed awkwardly and nodded his head.
"She decided to release all of my \'magical energy\' for the last night of our trip. Saying that it would be a memory to last for a long time." Xiong Da blushed, but some of the customers who were waiting could not help to eavesdrop part of the conversation. Some even cheered at Xiong Da\'s success before Luo Bo rolled her eyes and said. "Please spare us the details. I would rather be dungeoneering."
"Speaking of dungeoneering, what exactly happened to the shop?" Xiong Da knew that Boss Jin liked to change things, but this time around, it seemed way over the top. Both Luo Bo and Jia Le explained over the course of waiting, but for some reason, they could not help but notice something was wrong.
"Weird, Boss should have opened his shop about this time, if not earlier than this." Luo Bo checked her watch.
"Hey, Bo Bo, look it\'s Yun and Zhen Qing." Jia Le noticed the two of them trying to rush themselves to the shop.
"Hi guys, sorry for the wait." Yun started to open the shop and figured that Jin should be fine on his own. Zhen Qing, on the other hand, would be safer in the store as compared to leaving her in Jin\'s house.
"What happened? It is not usual for you guys to be this late. Did something happen to Jin?" Xiong Da could not help but be a little suspicious. He felt his lawyer\'s hunch tingling.
"Woah, new hair colour Zhen Qing. That looks really natural on you." Luo Bo could not help but change the subject, brushing off the concern that Xiong Da had.
"Thank you… Erm, we are sorry for opening the store this late." Zhen Qing bowed.
"Nah, it is fine. At least it\'s not like you were similar to some other restaurants or stores that closed their shops for no particular reason. I remember there was this infamous food store for its egg fried rice said that it closed its store because it\'s international reporter\'s day." Luo Bo accepted the apology but could not wait to get into the store and show Xiong Da her new pet.
Suddenly, many black armoured vans came from all corners of Tiangong District in one swoop, and one of them did an emergency stop just right outside of the dungeon shop. The van side door was opened abruptly, and three masked men came out to grab onto Zhen Qing.
Everyone including Yun who was opening the door was shocked by the confusion and brusque manner of this daylight kidnapping. The one who was petrified by this was Zhen Qing as she was being pinned down with a knife at her throat as the kidnappers tied her up and subsequently threw a sack over her head.
The other black armour vans immediately threw smoke grenades on the floor, and all the vans drove off in different directions.
"Shit!" Yun cursed and looked at the crowd. "I am sorry, we are closing for the day," Yun said which most of the customers understood the meaning of that. They too were stunned by that, but it did not seem to faze Xiong Da.
"Luo Bo, Jia Le and Yun. To my car!" Xiong Da sprinted forward to the parking lot nearby with Luo Bo and Jia Le. "Do you know what to do, Hippo? We could not track all of the vans down!" Luo Bo sat in front while Jia Le at the back. They were not going to let this injustice down.
"The only thing I was proud when I was young was my sense of smell, and Zhen Qing has a very peculiar scent." Xiong started the engine before he was being beaten by Luo Bo.
"What scent, you disgusting pervert!" Luo Bo said as she beat Xiong Da\'s arm.
"Ouch! No, it\'s not what you think it is! She is a chef, and I believe for some reason or another she had a distinct, high quality scent of raw ingredients on her. I think she interacted sufficiently with Jin\'s high quality food items that I could distinguish her by scent." Xiong Da drove his car in front of the Dungeons and Pandas before he picked up Yun.
"Yun, any idea who kidnapped Zhen Qing? That was no ordinary kidnapping manoeuvre." Xiong Da stepped on the gas and followed the scent of Zhen Qing while Luo Bo took note of the map app to guide Xiong Da.
"I will call Big Sis Xue Ping about this." Jia Le said as she searched Inspector Xue Ping\'s user on the Pandamonium chat group.
"Damn it, if only Zhen Qing was bestowed with the sub System, I would not have to go through this much trouble trying to track her down," Yun said as she tried to communicate with the System to see if they could locate her. Yun also decided not to tell Jin at the moment since he already had his plate full of gangsters the last they communicated via thought.
The System understood Yun\'s plight and bestowed her a potion in her storage ring. Yun took a quick look at the potion and realised what it was. She immediately took it out of the storage ring and opened the potion\'s safety seal cap. "Xiong Da, open your mouth, I am going to pour a potion in your mouth. I do not care if it is disgusting or not, but you better drink every drop of it." Yun leaned forward and fed Xiong Da the potion.
Xiong Da suddenly felt that the scent of Zhen Qing grew stronger and he thought he could sense a faint trace of chi along with the scent. He decided to follow that overtake the red light and cut to the left of the road to follow the scent.
"What kind of potion is this! I can sense Zhen Qing\'s faint chi signature." Xiong Da asked as he sped up the car even though the red light camera flashed and captured his number plate.
"A potion mainly to enhance the five senses. If Zhen Qing was a cultivator, it would be easier to trace her scent. All we can do now is to rely on you." Yun said that she had an inkling what had happened but will be explained later. "All I can deduce is that it\'s the Ruby Rat Triad members who kidnapped her."
"Xiong Da! Xue Ping said to do what you must to find Zhen Qing. She will remove any red light tickets on your behalf. She said she was going to sortie after getting some information from Lee An." Jia Le just ended her call with Xue Ping as she now buckled on her safety belt as a precaution.
"Well, that\'s rather pleasant to hear. Let\'s catch some rats." Xiong Da stepped on the acceleration pedal and continued to chase after the scent.
