I'm in the Ark, a player.

"The Rat King?"

Qin Tianling noticed a new word in Hong Biao's words, and with some confusion,

Perhaps it was a storyline from too long ago, or perhaps he skipped or ignored the part about the 'Rat King'.

Qin Tianling had no recollection of this term.

"Don't you know?"

Seeing that the other party was so skilled yet still didn't know about the Rat King, Hong Biao was somewhat surprised, but he still explained.

"He's a figure at the very top of the Dragon Gate underworld. It's said that no one knows his true identity, yet he is a definite and real person."

Anyone involved in organized crime would be afraid of him.

"Aren't you afraid of the Rat King?"

"afraid."

"Then why do you still get involved in this kind of business?"

"I don't want to do this kind of turning back, but someone is forcing me to."

They approached me, they approached the Red Hand Society, wanting to make the Red Hand Society their black glove, to do this shady business.

Who came looking for you?

"A middleman, responsible for relaying messages, is looking for black gloves—the kind you can throw away after use without getting them on you. How could that possibly expose his identity?"

Hong Biao explained,

"I initially refused, no matter how much they offered, I still refused."

However, after I refused, an accident occurred at the Red Hand Society's legitimate property—reportedly a gas explosion. But the timing of this seemed far too coincidental.

—So I chickened out and agreed to their terms.

Because I could never risk the livelihoods of my nearly one hundred brothers and sisters.

"I get the feeling that you're pretending to be a victim."

But I don't care about all that. The fact is you organized the sale of this stuff and profited from it. How many years you should be sentenced to, whether you should be executed or not, is up to the Longmen Law, not me.

Modeling isn't like creating a beautiful NPC, and the story doesn't sound interesting enough. Qin Tianling didn't want to know so much. He'd rather let Chen Huijie make her own judgment, since she was the cop.

Getting back to the main point, Qin Tianling continued to ask.

"Since you smuggled it in, what did you use to smuggle it in?"

"Use aircraft."

Hong Biao replied,

More accurately, it was the aircraft of the group that approached them. These things are not something normal people can get their hands on, let alone the Red Hands gang.

"Longmen, as a mobile city, has a no-fly zone over low-altitude areas, so drones would be detected. Therefore, they use aircraft capable of high-altitude flight for deliveries."

By dropping cargo during high-altitude, high-speed flight, the aircraft can use projectile motion to drop the cargo into the gantry without even entering the gantry's field of vision.

As for the cargo itself, sometimes it is dropped into the main river of Longmen, and sometimes it is equipped with a low-altitude automatic opening parachute.

Given the dim lighting at night, virtually no one would notice smuggled goods being secretly brought into Lungmen like this.

..

"Yes, that's what he said."

A moment later, Qin Tianling emerged from the basement and entered the room where the surveillance monitor was located.

Chen Huijie was here, while Exusiai was waiting for him outside.

Because the last interrogation was so disgusting, Exusiai doesn't want to watch it again.

Chen Huijie listened to all of Qin Tianling's questions in the room.

"Thank you for your hard work. I'll pay you later."

Chen Huijie rubbed her temples and let out a soft sigh.

As for the system's task reward, it was distributed the moment Hong Biao was captured; Chen Huijie's was extra.

Qin Tianling was quite satisfied with the system's reward this time.

[Demon Blade]

[From: Nightfall, Executor's Skill]

[Description: A demon sword will automatically appear at the waist when used.]

Draw the demon sword and use it to deflect attacks, rendering the enemy's attacks ineffective.

Repeatedly deflecting attacks will free the blade, allowing for powerful attacks with the blade still alive.

However, one cannot dash while drawing the demon sword.

"What's wrong? Is it difficult?"

Seeing Chen Huijie's troubled expression, Qin Tianling asked curiously.

"It's still unknown how credible his words are."

If that's true, then this is indeed a very troublesome matter.

With a sigh, Chen Huijie admitted,

"Leaving aside the fact that this force is clearly based in Lungmen, the aircraft itself speaks volumes."

—You should know that aircraft capable of flying at high altitudes are not something that money can buy.

Moreover, it would be truly difficult to trace the Red Hand Society further back to uncover the even more deeply hidden figures.

"Hong Biao said there's another aircraft smuggling operation later that night. Do you think we can break through from here?"

"It's a bit difficult. Apart from intercepting a batch of contraband, there's not much else we can do."

After all, the Guard Bureau's usual methods are simply insufficient to stop such a high-altitude aircraft; crossbows and the like are simply out of reach.

Chen Huijie's words carried a hint of helplessness and exhaustion.

Police equipment, no matter what, has its limitations.

"Stop them?"

Qin Tianling seemed to sense something and looked at Chen Huijie.

"Can I shoot this aircraft down?"

If we're talking about airplanes, then I, Qin Tianling, would be considered to have quite a few novel skills.

"?"

Upon hearing Qin Tianling's words, Chen Huijie immediately looked at him.

No,

What did you say you wanted to shoot down?!

...

-----------------

The Black Stream Tree Sea was quite fun, but I didn't get to see Chen Yiyin (sad).

Chapter 188, Do you think you two are a couple?

Can ordinary crossbow bolts hit a flying vehicle at an altitude of over 4,000 meters?

Siege crossbows could barely do that, right?

Even with siege crossbow bolts, given this attenuation distance, a hit might not necessarily break through the aircraft's defenses.

Normally, Chen Huijie would never believe someone else saying this.

But the person who said this was Qin Tianling.

He is Qin Tianling.

No matter how outrageous his words were, as long as they were from Qin Tianling, Chen Huijie would always find herself unable to resist believing them.

Even now, that remains true.

Because he can always do it.

But I kept asking him for help and relying on him.

Is it really good?

At noon, Exusiai's attitude couldn't help but come to mind.

That attitude of blaming himself for always leaving the dirty and hard work to Qin Tianling.

I'm just too dependent on him.

At first, all I wanted was for this guy who could rewind time to stop him from doing anything reckless.

In the end, it seems that he did indeed become overly dependent on him.

Even if time could be reversed, the wounds and pain suffered during the trial and error process on the path to success would still be real.

But besides financial support, it seems there's nothing else I can offer him...

It is indeed a bit too unequal.

Tsk,

When did I become this kind of woman?!

"So, how about we try it the night after tomorrow? What if I can actually hit it?"

Qin Tianling was still asking questions when Chen Huijie lightly bit her lip, offering no response.

Why aren't you saying anything?

Because of me, you've developed unnecessary emotions?

If it were anyone else, they would definitely deny Qin Tianling's words outright, right?

Regardless of whether the feelings in one's heart are true or false.

But for Chen Huijie, this is indeed the truth.

She wavered somewhat because of Qin Tianling's situation, and even felt a sense of self-loathing.

Finally, Chen Huijie looked at Qin Tianling and responded.

"I was just... thinking about some things."

I will consider what you said. If we decide to take action the day after tomorrow, I will let you know.

"Thank you for your hard work, Qin Tianling."

"Hmm... okay then."

Qin Tianling nodded, already planning what to do before the night before last, or perhaps even using his bed to skip ahead to the day after tomorrow.

For him, being notified is the same as being certain that something will happen!

Aren't all other games like this?

"Then I'll go first."

He said goodbye and left.

As he walked outside, he heard Exusiai's voice when he reached the door.

At the doorway, Exusiai was leaning against the wall making a phone call. The sunlight of the setting sun slanted into the porch, casting a golden hue on her burgundy hair.

"Hey, Qin Tianling and I are outside!"

"You two secretly went on a date together?"

The voice on the other end of the phone sounded like Croissant.
