Nie Zhao stood behind Inspector Gu, with Nie Jiajun, a victim who had been kidnapped before, behind him.

Their support shifted public opinion in another direction: whether the Nie clan members might be kidnapped again, which could divert pressure from the police force, a great help to the police station.

Like sending charcoal in snowy weather, he solved Inspector Gu's urgent problem and also gave the police force support.

This crucial act of kindness is also a great favor.

Chief Inspector Gu grasped Nie Zhao's hand in return and nodded firmly. He would never forget the favor of helping him in that dangerous situation.

Of course, Nie Zhao only said a few words, giving those who couldn't get a shot a chance to take pictures. After a few seconds, bodyguards immediately came forward to help the uncle and nephew away, and the reporters followed like wasps.

Inspector Gu's public interrogation is finally over. He can finally go home. Damn, I'm exhausted!

He couldn't help but mutter a few complaints to himself. Nie Zhao was simply unbelievable; he was even more shrewd than his father, always waiting until the crucial moment to step forward.

He not only won people's hearts but also did them a favor; he really got the benefit but still acted innocent.

Master Er and Master Dong left together just now, and Nie Zhao and Nie Jiajun also left first.

Nie Jiajun insisted on troubling Chen Rou to stay because he was worried about the police officers. He feared that if they left, the police might, for the sake of public opinion, stage another incident like Huang Sir's suicide attempt and then kill Huo Qi.

When the cover is lifted, the Hong Kong Police Station will be completely innocent, and Huo Qi will die even more unjustly than Huang Sir, since he didn't even get a house. So at this moment, Chen Rou, Secretary An, Chen Ke, and Yue Zhongqi, who just arrived, are still at the scene.

Secretary An may not be good at much else, but she has the sharpest eyes. She was watching from the doorway when she suddenly stepped forward, her voice echoing down the corridor: "Mr. Lin, are you going home after get off work?"

Brother Lin from the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB) had just come out of Huo Qi's interrogation room. He was with his subordinates and was rushing towards the other staircase, running like Japanese soldiers entering a village. The corridor lights were almost all turned off. How did someone see them?

But since they had come to greet him, he naturally had to deal with them, saying as he walked, "Anjie, you haven't rested yet either?"

Secretary An stopped, but Chen Rou caught up: "Hello, Mr. Lin."

Mrs. Nie, she hasn't left yet?

Inspector Lin had no choice but to stop: "It's so late, and Mrs. Nie is still up. Is it because..."

Chen Rou smiled and said, "You know, children are always more sincere. I can understand your trial procedures, but my Jiajun knows that Huo Sir is innocent. He is young and does not understand your difficulties, so he is inevitably worried about Huo Sir's safety."

Inspector Lin also reads gossip. It is said that Mrs. Nie's position is not very stable. It is probably because of this that she stayed alone at the police station in the middle of the night to run away for the young master of the Nie family.

We are all ordinary people, and we all have our own difficulties. Lin Sir patted his chest and said, "I can't guarantee anything to you until the case is solved, but as you know, our O-Division, Commissioner Liao took the initiative to apply for a self-investigation."

Chen Rou nodded, but also shook her head and sighed, deliberately saying, "I will try to persuade Jiajun, but he's not a child. Sometimes even his uncle can't persuade him. I vaguely heard that he's going to Kowloon to find someone who can fly over walls..."

Secretary An coughed at the opportune moment: "Madam..."

Chen Rou seemed to snap out of her daze, and said with a smile, "I was just joking, don't take it seriously, goodnight."

In fact, this morning, A-Kang, along with his wife and daughter, had already headed to Tokyo. From now on, his job will be as a Disney magician, wearing a clown hat and beloved by children.

But Brother Lin didn't know that, and he had just gone to Zhang Sir's office to check. It was 16 stories high, with marble exterior walls, and the widest part was no more than 2cm, but someone had climbed up there.

Will that person come again tonight? And if they want to do something to Huo Qi, will they just film it?

The warning was brief; by the time Brother Lin came to his senses, Chen Rou had already left.

He ordered his men, "Take Inspector Fok back to the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau."

Of course he wouldn't, since the police's mess was none of his business, but he was afraid that the police force would make a fool of themselves.

It would be safer to keep Huo Qi in our own territory.

And so, Huo Qi narrowly escaped death. Whether he would remember the favor or not, no one knew.

...

At 2 a.m., the night market was full of delicious food, but for Chen Ke and Yue Zhongqi, the taste was a bit too bland.

The two ordered two servings of stir-fried rice noodles. After a long time, they asked the owner for a bottle of chili sauce. They tried to pour it out but couldn't. Finally, they shook it out with a whoosh, and it came out as a huge lump. Yue Zhongqi took a bite and found it sweet and spicy, which was really not to his liking. So he pointed to Chen Rou's black pepper pasta, and she scooped out a big lump for him.

Yue Zhongqi took a bite and said, "Huh, this is actually not bad."

Then he said to Chen Ke, "You haven't eaten all day, have you? I'll treat you. Can I get you some of this?"

Although Chen Ke didn't like it, he never complained or wasted food. He took Yue Zhongqi's portion and started eating, asking Chen Rou, "In your estimation, how long will it take for the police station to re-arrest Zhang Leqiang?"

Chen Rou said, "It will take at least half a month because the police need to withdraw the complaint before they can open a case for investigation."

After finishing nearly half a portion of spaghetti that Chen Rou had given him, Yue Zhongqi started slicing up rice noodles: "They can't avoid going through the procedures either?"

He added, "Can't we think of a way to make a scene and expedite the case? Can't they work overtime?"
