Chapter 1287: Chapter 1287: No Escape

Regret as she might, Lina’s reaction was quick. Seeing the fear on the policemen’s faces, she trembled and asked, "Wh-who are you?"

After glancing at Lina, the police immediately stepped forward and restrained her, then took her aside.

Lina, now caught, could no longer alert Master Niu. Moreover, Master Niu was at a crucial moment; if distracted, not only would all previous efforts be in vain, it might also worsen his internal injuries.

What to do? What to do?

Lina was anxious, unsure of what to do. Meanwhile, other police officers had already gone upstairs and entered the room. Searching one room after another, they finally found Master Niu in one of the bathrooms.

Seeing Master Niu soaking himself in the bath, the officers’ faces turned unsightly. After all their effort searching for him, he was still in the mood for a bath; he really knew how to indulge.

Master Niu noticed the police as well; he was shocked and hurried, never expecting they’d find him here. After all, this was Lina’s place, and quite a hidden location.

At this point, Master Niu couldn’t care about much else, just wanted to get out of the tub quickly and escape from here. He had just gotten out of jail and didn’t want to end up back there.

However, though he moved quickly, not quickly enough for the police. Before he could escape from the bath, the officers surrounded him.

No chance to escape!

Seeing no way out, Master Niu’s face turned extremely grim. He sank back into the tub in despair, glaring at the officers.

Watching Master Niu return to the tub, a policeman tossed a piece of clothing to him, ordering, "Put on the clothes."

Master Niu took the clothes and put them on, then stepped out of the tub. As he emerged, he wanted to test how much of his skills he had regained.

If his recovery was good, he wouldn’t fear these officers. But as soon as he tried, pain shot through him immensely. Moreover, the Gu King was restless inside him.

Besieged by two kinds of pain, Master Niu broke out in a sweat, kneeling on the floor.

"What’s wrong with him?" The officers surrounding Master Niu exchanged glances, looking at his pained expression as he kneeled.

"Not sure, we’ll get a doctor to check him out later." The officer in charge said, then instructed his team, "Take him downstairs for now!"

At this moment, outside in the yard, Jiang Xue heard Little Fox saying to her, "Woman, woman, I sense the Gu King’s presence on Master Niu."

"Gu King?"

"That’s right, the Gu King!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xue’s interest was piqued, "If there’s such a treasure, we can’t miss it. You have to find a way to get it for me; I’ve never seen a Gu King my whole life."

"Can’t you grab it yourself?" Little Fox retorted, rolling his eyes at Jiang Xue.

"I want to, but with so many officers around, how can I act? As for you, just a little fox, even if noticed, no one would think much of it."

"Want my help? No way. If you want something, get it yourself; I’m not going." Little Fox refused to go no matter what. In the end, Jiang Xue had no choice but to get out of the car and headed towards the officers.

"Miss Jiang, anything we can do for you?" Seeing Jiang Xue approaching, the lead officer greeted her with a smile.

"Officer Chen, here’s the thing, Master Niu’s health seems off. I want to take a look to prevent any unexpected troubles for you guys later."
