Chapter 186 Thunderous Rescue and Deserved Punishment
Lin Yan's divine sense, like an invisible net, covered an area of twenty-five kilometers, clearly discerning every fluctuation of life and every energy anomaly. In less than a minute, his divine sense locked onto the target that made his heart sink—Yang Xi'en! She was in a suite on the fourth floor of the "Songtao Hotel," not far from here, her life force stable but her consciousness dormant, clearly in a coma. There were two men in the suite, one of whom Lin Yan remembered—one of the five white youths on the advanced ski slope yesterday! At this moment, that man was taking out a checkbook from his suitcase and writing something, while the other man, wearing a top hat and exuding a burly air, stood to the side, the air thick with the stench of a dirty transaction.
"Lin Gang, go to the nearest police station and report that a rape is taking place in suite 408 of the Songtao Hotel! Hurry!" Lin Yan instantly gave the order to Lin Gang through his divine sense, his tone leaving no room for doubt. Without hesitation, Lin Gang swerved the steering wheel, and the car sped towards the police station.
Lin Yan got out of the car at the hotel entrance, his spiritual sense locked onto room 408. He saw the man in the top hat take the check, a satisfied, sinister smile spreading across his face. He then opened the door and, instead of taking the elevator, chose the fire escape, seemingly intending to leave quietly.
"Trying to run?" A cold glint flashed in Lin Yan's eyes. He moved like a ghost and instantly appeared at the corner of the stairs leading from the third floor to the second floor, waiting quietly.
Sure enough, the thug, humming a tune and smugly pleased with himself, had just reached the third floor when he saw a tall, slender, and imposing Eastern youth, who, like a grim reaper blocking his path, strode forward with long legs, cutting him off. The thug, James, was initially taken aback, but upon recognizing Lin Yan's face, he was overjoyed rather than alarmed! He had been staking out the ski resort during the day, struggling to find an opportunity to harm these Eastern men, only managing to capture a woman to report back. Now, his target had delivered himself to his doorstep! Capturing him would allow him to collect another hefty bounty from Mr. Thomas!
However, before the greed and ecstasy on his face could fully bloom, they froze instantly, turning into extreme terror!
Lin Yan gave him absolutely no chance to react! The speed was beyond the limits of human vision! James only saw a blur before a cold, iron-like hand gripped his throat! The next second, an irresistible force came, his airway seemed to be crushed instantly, and his feet left the ground as Lin Yan lifted him off the ground with one hand!
"Ugh...ha..." James struggled in vain, his eyes bulging, his face turning purplish-red from lack of oxygen.
Lin Yan stared directly into his eyes, which were filled with fear and pain, and instantly activated the Bewitching Chaos! James's eyes immediately became dull and blank, and all his struggles ceased, like a puppet whose soul had been taken away.
Lin Yan dragged James, whose consciousness was under control, like a dead dog, and steadily walked up to the fourth floor, arriving at the door of room 408. In his mind's eye, Thomas Browne inside the room had already impatiently entered the bedroom and was reaching out to unbutton Yang Xi'en's coat!
"Bang--!!!"
A deafening crash! Lin Yan kicked the sturdy wooden door of apartment 408, and it shattered into pieces instantly, as if hit by a cannonball, with wood chips flying everywhere!
Thomas, who was about to commit his evil deeds, was terrified by the sudden loud noise and rushed out of the bedroom. What came into his view was a broken door and the Eastern boy he hated to the core, who now looked like a demon! In the boy's arms was James, the thug he had hired at great expense, who was now as weak as a lump of mud!
"You...!" Thomas was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
Lin Yan's gaze was icy, and he activated his Bewitching Confusion technique again, directly invading Thomas's unsuspecting mental world. "What's your name?"
"I...I am Thomas Jefferson Brown..." Thomas's eyes instantly became vacant, and he answered as if in a dream.
Lin Yan sneered inwardly, satisfied with the spell's effect. He stepped forward and slapped Thomas across the face without hesitation!
"Smack!" A crisp, loud sound! The immense force sent Thomas spinning in place, half his cheek instantly swelling up, his mouth cracking and bleeding, leaving him completely stunned.
Lin Yan then pretended to take out a sturdy rope he had prepared beforehand from the inside pocket of his coat (actually from his spatial storage), and quickly and firmly bound Thomas and the unconscious James's hands and feet, like pigs and sheep bound and waiting to be slaughtered.
After doing all this, he picked up the phone in the room, dialed the hotel front desk, and calmly informed them: "This is Lin Yan. Please tell my companion Lin Yi to bring Mr. Tang Liuqian and the others to room 408 of the Songtao Hotel immediately." Then, he sat leisurely on the sofa in the living room, waiting for the next step.
The loud crash of the door being kicked down had already alerted all the guests on the fourth floor. At this moment, a number of awakened guests had gathered outside room 408. They looked in horror at the scene inside the room—the broken door, two white men tied up, and an Eastern boy sitting calmly on the sofa. They were all talking about it, and some had already run to notify the hotel security.
Lin Yan got up and went into the bedroom. He carefully checked Yang Xi'en's condition and found that she had only been knocked unconscious by a heavy blow to the back of her neck. Her clothes were intact, and she had not been violated in any other way. He felt a little relieved. "She's lucky."
About five minutes later, the urgent sound of police sirens grew louder as they approached. Lin Gang, along with several police officers who had responded quickly to the report, pushed through the crowd and rushed into room 408.
The scene before them stunned even the police officers. Lin Yan stood up, pointed to Thomas and James, who were bound on the ground, and spoke calmly yet with undeniable authority:
"Officer, these two men are suspected of kidnapping and attempting to sexually assault this woman. I happened to be passing by when I heard her cries for help, so I broke down the door, stopped the crime, and subdued the suspects. This woman is my friend, and we need to take her to the hospital for a checkup immediately."
Caught red-handed, with clear evidence at the scene—the broken door, the unconscious victim, the subdued suspect—Lin Yan's statement was plausible. Police quickly secured the scene, called an ambulance, and turned their attention to the two suspects lying on the ground, their eyes vacant, as if they had lost their souls.
Thomas Browne, the California "princeling," was being carried by the police like a lump of mud. He probably didn't know that his and his family's fate had been sealed from the moment he laid a hand on the people around Lin Yan.
