Otherwise, he might have been taken advantage of and would still believe that his parents are in the hands of the other party, and that he has no choice but to do things for them and be used by them.

but……

Du Chenzhou recalled the malicious gaze he had vaguely sensed at the restaurant at noon.

So it wasn't his imagination; someone was indeed looking at him with malicious eyes.

That person must be the female officer.

Du Chenzhou narrowed his eyes, and the muscles that had just relaxed tensed up again.

Why does she keep chasing after him?

There are so many people in this world, and so many people attending this meeting alone, so why did she choose him and insist on chasing after him?

Du Chenzhou was gritting his teeth and pondering when he inadvertently looked up and met Xie Zhiyan's gaze.

"Just stay there and don't move."

Xie Zhiyan casually gave an instruction, then turned to instruct Qi Zecheng.

"Based on the information provided by Daniel, go and investigate immediately!"

"yes!"

Qi Zecheng immediately accepted the order and jogged away.

Having followed Xie Zhiyan for a long time, Qi Zecheng had learned his style of doing things perfectly. He was efficient and quick, and soon he had checked everyone in the banquet hall.

"Zhiyan, we've already checked. Three people are missing from the scene. According to the list, the names and information registered match those of Daniel and his two colleagues."

Fortunately, this conference limited the number of participants, with a maximum of three people allowed per country and per team.

Otherwise, if there were more people, who knows what kind of trouble they would cause.

"I have already given advance notice to seal off all entrances and exits of the venue and restrict everyone's entry and exit until the curfew is lifted."

"Zhiyan, we'll follow your instructions next."

"According to our investigation, these three people should have just left recently, and probably fled in panic after realizing something was wrong."

"I just took control of all the entrances and exits of the clubhouse and quickly contacted other units to have them control the entrances and exits at several nearby intersections. The person shouldn't have gone far."

Xie Zhiyan's expression was serious. With a single command, he quickly arranged for his soldiers to launch a thorough pursuit.

Qi Zecheng and Ye Zhanying personally led a team to arrest them.

As Ye Zhanying turned to walk out, he couldn't help but be surprised.

"Wow, I didn't expect you to have learned to imitate Xie Zhiyan so well now. You're so efficient at getting things done. That's rare."

Qi Zecheng gave him a look that said, "You're making a fuss over nothing."

"I've always been like this, okay? What do you mean by 'rare'..."

The two bickered as they went, but didn't delay their actions. They quickly went downstairs and began to cooperate in making a capture.

The dinner party's schedule was disrupted, and since Shu Ying and Du Chenzhou didn't have to go downstairs to translate, they stayed upstairs with Daniel, waiting for news.

Just as the banquet was nearing its scheduled end time, when people were most restless and anxious, good news suddenly arrived.

Qi Zecheng and Ye Zhanying spotted the three people who had disguised themselves and were preparing to slip away at an intersection not far from the venue.

Ye Zhanying didn't give them a chance to react at all. She kicked each of them, knocking them all down and bringing them back.

Ye Zhanying ran up to report the situation.

"Xie Zhiyan, I've brought the man back. What's the next step?"

Xie Zhiyan stood on the second floor and looked down into the distance.

"Send the person back and await the organization's approval."

"Remember, you must be extremely careful and vigilant during the escort process."

"Don't worry, we'll take them back ourselves."

Ye Zhanying gave a military salute, smiled and winked at Shu Ying, as if asking: Isn't sis awesome?

Shu Ying breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help but laugh at her, and very cooperatively raised her thumb.

Xie Zhiyan remained silent.

If Ye Zhanying were a man, he would have kicked her the moment she started flirting with his wife like that.

But since she's a woman, he has no reason to be jealous.

Ye Zhanying seemed to know that Xie Zhiyan couldn't do anything to her, so she swaggered around, turned around, and ran downstairs again, then escorted the person back.

Du Chenzhou clutched his chest, still shaken, and quickly glanced down from behind the second-floor railing.

Even from a distance, and even with the woman's long, brown, curly hair and disguised attire, Du Chenzhou recognized her from behind at a glance.

Du Chenzhou's gaze darkened.

The woman seemed to sense his gaze, abruptly stopping and turning her head precisely to look at the second floor, meeting Du Chenzhou's eyes directly. A sinister smile slowly crept onto her lips.

Du Chenzhou was startled and took a step back, feeling a chill run down his spine.

Xie Zhiyan happened to walk over, glanced at the person quickly, and immediately signaled Ye Zhanying to take the person away.

After all, Du Chenzhou's mental fortitude was lacking. Last time, when he came to him with a note, he was so flustered that his face turned pale and his lips trembled uncontrollably.

This clearly shows how deep his fear of this woman was.

Ye Zhanying received the signal and nodded.

"Tsk, what are you looking at! You fake foreigner, get out of here!"

Ye Zhanying simply grabbed the person and took him away.

Looking at the intimidating look that woman had just given, Ye Zhanying would have kicked her if it weren't for so many people around.

The woman was forced to look away, and glared fiercely at Ye Zhanying with her gloomy, viper-like eyes.

Unexpectedly, Ye Zhanying was not only unafraid, but was also angered by her, and directly raised two fingers.

"What are you looking at? If you don't need your eyeballs, I'll gouge them out and give them to someone who does!"

The woman averted her gaze in a second, and was led away resentfully.

Although Lusca and Howard didn't understand what was happening because of the language barrier, they found the scene inexplicably funny and couldn't help but laugh.

That smile eased the tension.

Du Chenzhou exhaled a breath of stale air, feeling as if the mountain of threat that had been pressing down on him had instantly crumbled.

He could finally breathe a sigh of relief; he no longer had to worry that this woman would actually kidnap his parents to threaten him.

Lusca and Howard were startled when they saw him stagger, his face pale and covered in sweat. They quickly came over, handed him a handkerchief, and patted him on the shoulder.

"Zhou, are you alright?"

Du Chenzhou shook his head.

"It's nothing, I just..."

He tried to comfort Lusca and Howard, but after a long pause, he couldn't come up with anything meaningful.

He was so tired and scared these past few days. It was like a string that had been stretched taut for a long time. When it was suddenly released, he needed time to recover.

Lusca and Howard have also noticed that Du Chenzhou is not in a good mood these past few days.

The two didn't ask any questions, but simply stayed by his side, comforting him in Russian.

Du Chenzhou had mixed feelings.

He hadn't expected Lusca and Howard to be so kind to him.

Unexpectedly, she was saved by Shu Ying and Xie Zhiyan once again.

And this is about something so important.
