Chapter 65 The Campus Genius Used as Cannon Fodder (Part 29) (To be continued...)

After completing the normal police report procedure, Fang Yue made a separate phone call to the policewoman. Soon, a team of people appeared silently, handcuffed the unconscious Nangong Yao, and carried him away.

After Fang Yue was taken to the police station and gave her statement, she was detained by a policewoman who checked her progress in learning self-defense techniques and taught her a few more moves.

Although the police should trust science, Fang Yue's luck is just too unscientific. She should learn some self-defense skills just in case.

As a girl living alone, Fang Yue takes self-defense very seriously. She diligently studied the instructions for a whole morning and promised the policewoman that she would practice every day from now on.

Then, she received a seven-figure reward. This Nangong Yao was not only a wanted person in China recently, but also had an international warrant for his arrest. Put together, it was a considerable sum of money.

Fang Yue looked at her savings, which had increased almost tenfold compared to before, ensuring she wouldn't have any financial pressure for the next ten years. Suddenly, Fang Yue felt that the lunatic wasn't so bad after all.

So when Nangong Yao asked to see Fang Yue while he was in prison, she didn't refuse. He was a lucky charm passing through, and she might even be able to make a fortune again.

"Woman, I don't blame you for calling the police. Don't worry, I'll be out soon." Nangong Yao looked at Fang Yue with burning eyes, but his tone was much gentler.

He's just not thinking straight; he has no awareness of being arrested and is already planning where he'll take the girl in front of him to have fun after he gets out.

Fang Yue hesitated for a while before finally speaking up, saying, "You said yourself that you couldn't go to the hospital, and there were people chasing you before. What am I supposed to do if I don't call the police? Even finding you a hotel requires you to register your ID! I can't just drag you back to my house!"

"Putting aside the question of how I'm supposed to drag someone as big as you back, with those injuries on your body, do you think I have the means or ability to treat you? You think you've had enough of living? I don't even want to pay for your cremation!"

Nangong Yao was speechless after being confronted. Looking back now, it seems that calling the police was indeed the safest option given his situation at the time.

His voice was even softer, and he protested in a slightly aggrieved tone, "I didn't say you did anything wrong. Besides, cremation fees don't cost you much. I already gave you such a big box. Why can't you pay for my funeral expenses?"

Fang Yue almost rolled her eyes. This guy seems to be a big shot in the government. How did he survive with such a bizarre thought process?

"Fine, whatever makes you happy." Fang Yue rubbed her temples. Communicating with this guy was really difficult. She stood up to leave, but Nangong Yao called her back.

"Woman, don't go yet. Tell me your name. I want to engrave your name in my heart and remember it for a lifetime." Nangong Yao said seriously, what he thought were very affectionate words.

Fang Yue resisted the urge to facepalm and shook her head. "I'll tell you my name next time we meet."

I told you my name because I was afraid you wouldn't be able to find me, right? She's not stupid! Anyway, this guy probably won't be getting out of here, so Fang Yue didn't rule out the possibility of him leaving.

Nangong Yao, however, was so moved that he seemed to have imagined something else entirely. For some reason, he told her about the identities of his subordinates in China and told her that she could ask them for help if she needed anything.

Fang Yue was speechless. Even if she had never been to a prison visitation place like this before, she could tell with her toes that any conversations inside would definitely be recorded and filed.

Or perhaps Nangong Yao knew this all along, yet he didn't care at all. I really don't know where he got his confidence from, thinking that his subordinates could have all the power and influence in the world.

Fang Yue gave a perfunctory reply. Nangong Yao thought she probably hadn't even remembered the names, so he deliberately gave the wrong addresses for both of them. Seeing Fang Yue still nodding casually, he felt both helpless and touched.

The person he set his sights on was indeed extraordinary. Others, upon hearing of so many wealthy and powerful people, would probably have already fawned over them, but she was completely indifferent to power and influence.

While marveling at his own irresistible charm, which led someone to save him even without seeking fame or fortune, Nangong Yao also felt that he had excellent taste, and that the woman he had chosen was indeed extraordinary.

Seeing that he was lost in thought again, Fang Yue didn't bother to guess what he was thinking and simply turned and left.

Not long after, she received another bonus from the government, and several familiar names appeared in the news—the very people Nangong Yao had told her about.

Oh dear, this idiot is indeed a lucky charm, bringing her good fortune.

Fang Yue spent a fortune online, buying a whole bunch of clothes, jewelry, and bags, spending a five-figure sum, before she could finally soothe her wounded heart.

As for shopping, she has decided that she will not go to the mall for a year!

When Shen Zechen received the news that the mentally unstable young master had been captured, he still felt it was somewhat unreal.

"Can I go out now?" Shen Zechen looked at Director Zhou hesitantly, then patted Zhuifeng's head, still feeling a little reluctant.

"Wait a few more days until they've cleaned up the mess over there, then we can go out and have some fun. Don't you love going to roadside stalls? We can go to the nearby food court then."

Many young people like to go there, and there are lots of young women there; you might even meet your other half.

Director Zhou patted Shen Zechen on the shoulder, speaking in a tone that sounded like he was coaxing a child. This kid is really well-behaved. Ever since he knew he had someone protecting him, he hasn't gone to any crowded places in order not to cause trouble.

Director Zhou overlooked the fact that Shen Zechen was a homebody, and was even more eager than Shen Zechen himself to go out and have fun.

After a few days of urging, they finally gave a definite answer, and Shen Zechen was officially released from quarantine. However, he didn't go to any food courts; he just strolled around the neighborhood.

After being confined for three months, even Shen Zechen has come to love going out. He goes out for a walk every day, and sometimes he even secretly takes Zhui Feng out with him.

The crowd couldn't help but laugh at his sneaky behavior, but they also felt that having Zhui Feng with him would provide an extra layer of security, and Zhui Feng could also get used to the crowd environment, so they didn't stop him.

That day, after Shen Zechen had lunch, it was time for the police dogs to roam freely. He secretly hid at the corner of the door, and Zhui Feng, taking advantage of the handler's inattention, also quietly approached Shen Zechen.

Like thieves, the man and the dog successfully met up and then slipped out the door together.

While pretending to tidy up his things, Wu Zhen chatted with the team leader, "Our Chasing Wind is getting smarter and smarter. If I hadn't known that the two of them were going to run away, I probably wouldn't have even noticed that it had run away."

The captain nodded in agreement, his tone full of pride, "Zhuifeng isn't old enough yet, otherwise he could be on missions by now."

They successfully lured Zhui Feng away again. Shen Zechen, Zhang Rui, and Zhao He'an met up and went to the old street this time. There was a small wonton shop there with very authentic flavors.

The wonton wrappers are very thin, so they're best eaten on the spot. If you order them for delivery, they'll easily turn into a soup of wonton pieces and meatballs.

Lin You casually mentioned wontons last night, and today Shen Zechen checked the map and picked the shop with the best online reviews.

Seeing how considerate he was, Lin You didn't know whether to tell him that he had been let off the hook by someone when he secretly led Zhui Feng out.

Lin You becomes unusually quiet whenever she has something on her mind. Normally, if you take her to buy delicious food, she will excitedly chatter to Shen Zechen all the way, but now she is unusually quiet.

Without hearing her chatter, Shen Zechen felt something was missing. After finding out why, he said helplessly, "Do you think I'm that stupid that I can't see they're letting me win?"

Putting everything else aside, the fact that Zhui Feng has disappeared is not a one-off incident, yet no one seems to care or look for him. It's obvious that T has tacitly accepted it.

"The procedures for getting the Chaser out are too complicated. We just stroll around and don't go on any missions, so they turn a blind eye."

Shen Zechen patiently explained to Lin You, and also went over the process of things, until Lin You regained her active state, before he continued walking with satisfaction.

The place they were going to was one kilometer away from the training camp. Shen Zechen had been running with Zhui Feng for the past two months and no longer planned to use any transportation; he would just walk there.

Shen Zechen held the leash of the Wind Chaser in his hand. The Wind Chaser swished its tail and followed slowly beside him, its ears always perked up, alert to its surroundings.

With it by their side, Zhao He'an and Zhang Rui felt much less pressure. They walked along chatting and laughing, looking like the three of them were walking a dog.

The wonton shop that Shen Zechen wanted to go to was on a street corner. It wasn't a big place. When they arrived, it was just past lunchtime, and there weren't many people in the shop.

Because he had Zhui Feng with him, he chose a seat on the outside near the edge, with Zhui Feng squatting beside him, standing guard with an imposing air.

Zhao He'an and Zhang Rui did not go inside to eat wontons. After confirming that there was no one else in the shop and that there was no safety hazard, they went to stand guard at the entrance.

Besides the wonton shop, there is also an authentic dim sum shop on this old street. There was a crowd of people gathered outside, and you could tell from the look of it that the dim sum was good.

Shen Zechen looked at Zhao He'an, then at the pastry shop, and grinned: "Brother Zhao, there's a long queue over there. I don't have anything to do here, could you help me get a number?"

The streets in the old town are quite narrow. To prevent customers from queuing and causing traffic congestion, the snack shops have a numbered queue system.

Getting a number wouldn't take long, and there wasn't anything unusual around. Zhao He'an wouldn't refuse to help him with such a small thing, so they quickly went to the pastry shop.

Shen Zechen took the opportunity to pack two bowls of wontons. The owner assumed he was packing them for his companions outside. After quickly cooking and packing the wontons, he continued to busy himself with wrapping wontons.

Compared to Zhao He'an, who always focused on himself, Zhang Rui was better at being alert to his surroundings and didn't pay much attention to what Shen Zechen was doing.

While he was turning around, Shen Zechen secretly slipped two portions of hot, packaged wontons into Lin You's backpack.

Time seemed to stand still in the backpack. When Lin You took it out later, the wontons were still hot and freshly cooked, so the taste wasn't affected.

"These wontons are filled with fresh pork, the meat is quite fresh, and the seasoning is good too. There's another wonton shop not far from here that uses shrimp filling, let's go there later." Shen Zechen chatted with Lin You in secret while eating.

Just then, Zhui Feng, who had been squatting quietly to the side, suddenly stirred restlessly, his ears perked up, and his eyes sharpened.

Shen Zechen patted Zhuifeng's head reassuringly and cast a beast-taming spell, but still couldn't calm Zhuifeng down.

It barked softly at Shen Zechen twice, then stretched out a front paw and placed it on Shen Zechen's leg. That familiar action was the same one it made when it discovered a situation during the Chasing Wind training.

Shen Zechen immediately called Zhao He'an and casually made up a story, "Old Zhao, it took you so long to buy a candy twist. You must have been hiding away smoking. Hurry up, I need to go buy beef jerky for Afeng up ahead. He can't wait!"

Upon hearing the noise, Zhang Rui immediately sensed something was amiss, quietly took a step back, and shielded Shen Zechen, who was about to leave the store, behind him.

Shen Zechen tugged at Zhuifeng's ears for a while, then pulled its tail, and soothed it, "Afeng, don't worry, I'll deduct Old Zhao's salary later, and I'll use the deducted money to buy you beef jerky!"

Zhui Feng quickly understood Shen Zechen's intention and obediently sat down to cooperate with his act, letting him pull and tug at him, his tail wagging incessantly. He looked silly and instantly lost his imposing aura.

Zhao He'an returned quickly after receiving the call, explaining as he walked, "That pastry shop was too crowded."

The three people and the dog pretended to be nonchalant and walked forward. Soon they turned a corner and went to another street.

Not far from the wonton shop, an inconspicuous middle-aged man looked away and took his hand out of his pocket.

His eyes would occasionally sweep across the street, seemingly casually, but actually observing every passerby.

The middle-aged man carried a small silver box. He casually patted the box three times, straightened his sleeves, and strode forward.

After turning the corner of the alley, Shen Zechen and his two companions did not actually leave. Instead, they went to a supermarket that was connected from front to back.

Zhang Rui, who was the most agile, entered the supermarket through the back door, walked to the front shelf to hide, and observed the situation outside.

Shen Zechen obediently led Zhui Feng out of three streets, finally stopping on a rather secluded street with no shops or passersby on either side.

He picked a stone bench by the roadside and sat down. Shen Zechen was always aware of his own fighting ability. He knew that he could do nothing but cause trouble from the side.
