"Captain, he's talking nonsense, don't be fooled by him!"
"Yeah, I seriously suspect he's in cahoots with that Chen Ting. He's just stalling for time, I think we should arrest him!"
"Captain, wake up, this guy is a liar!"
...
Seeing that Zhang Qiang would rather believe Er Zhu than them, the police officers hurriedly persuaded him, but Zhang Qiang seemed possessed, following Er Zhu towards the door.
"Xiao Zhang, do you think this Wang Er Zhu knows some dark arts?"
"What nonsense are you spouting? You're a police officer, those are just charlatans. There's no such thing as dark arts in this world!"
"Can you two stop talking and follow us quickly? If the captain is in danger, none of us will escape blame!"
...
Just as the police officers were worried about Zhang Qiang's safety, an older police officer suddenly seemed to recall something and reminded them.
"Wait for me, I'm going too!"
After being reminded by his companions, the police officers were about to chase after them when Li Hongmei's voice suddenly came from behind.
Although the police officers felt it was inappropriate for Li Hongmei to follow, they didn't say anything when they saw the badge on her shoulder. Even though Li Hongmei was just a forensic doctor, her police rank was quite high, even higher than Zhang Qiang's!
On the road, the black luxury car sped along the highway. Er Zhu had already noticed the police car following him, but he simply couldn't be bothered.
It was good for them to see, so these idiots wouldn't keep thinking they were clever.
"I'm sorry, Er Zhu. Xiao Zhang and the others just graduated from the police academy. Please don't take it to heart."
Seeing Er Zhu's cold gaze, Zhang Qiang thought Er Zhu was angry at the police officers and quickly explained.
"They are just some kids, I never paid them any mind."
Er Zhu glanced at the rearview mirror, looking at the clumsy police officers with disdain.
With this skill, they call themselves drivers? They probably wouldn't catch the suspect while investigating a case, and would end up in an accident themselves...
"Right, how did you know where Chen Ting was?"
After a brief silence in the car, Zhang Qiang suddenly seemed to recall something and looked at Er Zhu curiously.
"I had my subordinates look for her before I came," Er Zhu said, rubbing his eyes, and casually gave a reason.
"Oh, then who is the Chen Ting from Huadong Province?"
Hearing Er Zhu say that, although Zhang Qiang felt something was not quite right, he didn't think much of it and then thought of another question.
"I don't know about that. You can ask Chen Ting yourself later."
Hearing this question, Er Zhu wanted to explain, but he was afraid that saying too much would attract more of Zhang Qiang's attention.
That old river god had repeatedly warned him not to reveal this matter, otherwise, he would leave!
In a short while, Er Zhu's black luxury car stopped outside a high-end residential complex. Looking at the luxurious complex before him, a flicker of doubt flashed in Zhang Qiang's eyes. He doubted Er Zhu's judgment for the first time today.
"Er Zhu, according to the records, Chen Ting is just an ordinary person. She shouldn't be able to afford to live in a place like this, right?"
Zhang Qiang's eyes darted around as he asked cautiously.
"I don't know the specifics. My bodyguard said Chen Ting is here anyway."
Er Zhu replied perfunctorily as he walked towards the complex.
Seeing that Er Zhu didn't know either, Zhang Qiang didn't ask further and followed him. But at this moment, Li Hongmei and the others also caught up.
"Captain, we just thought it through. We believe Er Zhu too!"
"Yeah, you admire him so much, Captain, he must have something special about him. Of course, we should believe him!"
"Captain Zhang, where is Er Zhu? Why are you alone?"
...
Before Zhang Qiang could ask, those police officers had a complete change of attitude, a 180-degree turn. Although their attitudes were good, Zhang Qiang still saw the cunning in their eyes.
These people didn't truly believe Er Zhu; they were here to see him make a fool of himself!
Zhang Qiang's anger instantly surged. He wanted to reprimand them, but thinking of Chen Ting, he didn't speak.
Just as Zhang Qiang and the others were with the police officers, Er Zhu was stopped by the security guards on the other side.
"Open your eyes and look clearly. Is this a place for poor people like you to come?"
"Looking for someone is also not allowed. The people living here are all rich and noble. Do you see any rich people with friends like you?"
"Get lost, get out of here, don't stand here, you're bringing bad luck!"
...
Before Er Zhu could speak, three security guards walked out of the security room, their eyes full of ridicule.
"I'm here to arrest someone. You'd better let me pass immediately. If the person escapes, you won't be able to bear the consequences!"
Er Zhu's eyes glanced at the tall building not far away. He was monitoring Chen Ting's situation while dealing with the security guards.
If it were any other time, he would have charged in already. But this time, he was here with Zhang Qiang. Acting in front of him would be like slapping him in the face, wouldn't it?
Moreover, the arrest was originally initiated by Zhang Qiang and the others, he just wanted to assist.
"Hahaha, do you think you're a police officer? Arresting people? You bumpkin, you're hilarious!"
"Bear the consequences? I'd like to see what consequences I'll have to bear for offending a country bumpkin like you!"
As soon as Er Zhu finished speaking, the three security guards burst into laughter, and one of them was laughing so hard he couldn't even speak.
"Idiot!"
Seeing that Chen Ting had left the balcony, Er Zhu was afraid she would escape. He cursed and raised his fist, about to make a move.
"Damn it, you dare to fight me? You're really over the top!"
Seeing Er Zhu charging at them, the security guards were not to be outdone, their fists clenched, ready to fight.
"What are you doing? Get out of the way quickly, police business!"
Just then, Zhang Qiang and the others arrived, seeing the security guards surrounding Er Zhu. Zhang Qiang shouted as he took out his badge.
"Oh my god, they really are police officers here to arrest someone."
A security guard was just about to make a move when he suddenly saw Zhang Qiang and the others in uniform. A flicker of shock flashed in his eyes, and he stopped in his tracks.
"This... we really can't afford to bear the consequences."
Another security guard also stopped. Looking at the uniformed police officers, he said and began to back away.
"Get lost! If the suspect escapes, you will all go to jail with me!"
As he spoke, Zhang Qiang had already reached Er Zhu's side. Without asking any questions, he pushed aside the security guard and pulled Er Zhu into the complex.
The security guards, who were already scared stiff, collapsed on the ground.
On the other side, Er Zhu and the others quickly arrived at Chen Ting's doorstep. Xiao Zhang and the other police officers swiftly kicked the door open. As soon as Zhang Qiang and the others entered, they saw Chen Ting standing at the door.
She was about to go out!
The moment they saw Chen Ting, all the police officers were stunned, especially the officer who was sent to investigate Chen Ting's whereabouts.
This Chen Ting was exactly the same as the Chen Ting he saw at the airport. No, it was the same person!
