The police car drove all the way to the residential complex from which Yu Zhou and Tang Yan had escaped. Not only Yu Zhou and Tang Yan, but Director Xing and Tang Long also came along.
In their eyes, this was quite a rare event.
Being able to broaden their horizons was naturally a good thing, especially since they were going to apprehend the culprits this time and there was no danger involved.
Haven't you seen how all the police officers brought their riot batons? Whether anyone brought a handgun, they didn't know, but if you said they didn't have the means to prevent violence, no one would believe it.
Looking at the streets they had walked along, Tang Yan felt a sense of daze.
After escaping, she had never thought she would have a chance to return, not even daring to imagine going back.
But now, it all happened so smoothly, simply because Yu Zhou's status was far higher and his abilities far greater than she had imagined.
Even though Tang Yan possessed great skills and believed she would not live an ordinary life, she had never imagined that the man she met would have such strength and means.
He was someone who couldn't be ignored even by just standing there.
Of course, she didn't believe that if she had escaped alone, someone would have helped her seek justice, and the police would have found the lair of the 'swing machine project' and apprehended them all within a day.
To put it bluntly, even if she had the ability, she didn't have the clout.
Were you a big shot just by standing there? Did you possess resources that others couldn't match?
Tang Yan had none of these, and even if she had developed normally, it would have been difficult to achieve them in her lifetime. But the man before her had them, and in ways that almost surpassed her imagination.
To say that Tang Yan had no feelings for Yu Zhou at this moment would be a lie.
It was like a scene from an idol drama, where in front of her was a stranded, high-profile boss, albeit a young one, and also a boss who wasn't exceptionally handsome.
What girl wouldn't be moved by such a plot?
Even though materialism hadn't developed to the point where many women would go crazy and pursue it recklessly in this era, who wouldn't wish for a boyfriend or husband with inexhaustible wealth?
Unfortunately, Tang Yan knew very well that Yu Zhou didn't have much interest in her.
He was even a married man with a wife and children.
So, at this moment, even if Tang Yan had a sliver of affection, it was completely suppressed by her reason. She dared not imagine what the consequences would be if she fell hopelessly in love.
In this era, mistresses were truly figures of public scorn.
Unlike in later times, where some mistresses could arrogantly trouble the legitimate wives, those people would discard their dignity for money, and what more could you say?
Outstanding men would always have a special appeal.
Tang Yan glanced at Yu Zhou again and then forcefully shook her head, trying to clear her mind of such thoughts.
The most important thing now was to go to that residential complex and find those people.
If she didn't vent the grievances she suffered in that project, she would feel she had let herself down given this current opportunity.
While such a desire for revenge hadn't twisted Tang Yan's mind, it prevented her from reaching inner peace.
"Open the door, we're checking temporary residence permits, open the door now?"
When they arrived at the door of the apartment in the residential complex, a police officer was knocking loudly. Instantly, a tense atmosphere filled the two-bedroom apartment.
Good heavens, being caught at this moment was no good thing.
Moreover, they knew what they had done. While other things might not matter, they had frequently abducted people from the streets.
The man in charge immediately turned pale. If it weren't for the third floor and the security bars, he would have wanted to jump down and escape right then.
"Bang!"
The people inside naturally didn't dare to open the door, but the police had their ways.
They produced a large bolt cutter and began to act without hesitation.
Soon, the security door was opened, and the inner door was kicked open.
"Everyone, put your hands on your heads and squat down. Men on the left, women on the right."
"Don't make me say it a second time, quickly."
The police officers' authority was very evident at this moment, especially their stern tone, which made many people instinctively squat down with their hands on their heads.
"Did we commit a crime?"
Many of the project salespersons had a look of bewilderment.
To be honest, most of them didn't think they were committing a crime.
After all, if a project was short of people, they would simply pick them up from the street, explain things, and then they would all be one big family.
Those who restricted others' freedom did not think they were restricting their freedom.
They even felt they were helping those who didn't understand to make money, that they were doing them a favor, so why would they feel uncomfortable?
Seeing these bewildered people, the police officers were almost unable to contain themselves.
However, before they could make a move, Tang Yan, who rushed forward, glared at them furiously.
"Oh my! You have a day like this? Do you remember me?"
"I only escaped last night."
At these words, almost everyone present looked up, clearly astonished.
Before this, they had no idea what had happened.
But now, they realized that not only did they not know what had happened, but the two people who had escaped last night had also returned.
Moreover, Tang Yan's expression showed triumph, which stunned everyone present.
What? Not only did you escape, but you want revenge?
"Tang Yan? Yu Zhou?"
"Did you two call the police? You two traitors, do you know? What you're doing is illegal and you'll go to jail!"
Among them, the woman in charge said with a look of grief and indignation.
She hadn't squatted down, and her arrogant attitude already indicated it.
Alright, this was a truly brainwashed team leader.
In her mind, this was a secret business heavily supported by the state, and now it had been exposed by these two who had escaped. This was illegal.
They deserved to be arrested.
Hearing this, Yu Zhou, who hadn't intended to speak, could no longer maintain his composure.
