Chapter 19: Tang Zhilu's reluctance to give up his appetite

"I fed him something. His hands and feet are numb now. I'll find two people to carry him out later."

Du Yanze looked at Tang Zhilu, their eyes met silently and then separated. After Chen Shuang took over, Du Yanze stepped aside and watched him calmly accept the questioning at the police station.

The rain was still falling, and the intensity was not decreasing at all. Tang Zhilu sat in the back seat of the police car as if he were sitting in his own business car. Du Yanze did not get in the car, but stood there with an umbrella.

"Do you need us to make a bigger noise?"

Chen Shuang looked at Du Yanze. In fact, they only summoned Tang Zhilu back to the police station for questioning today.

But Du Yanze found her and asked her to make it look as if the arrest was carried out.

"No need." Du Yanze noticed Tang Zhilu's gaze and said calmly, "Take it back and do whatever you want. People who should know will know. It's too obvious and looks fake."

Chen Shuang had no choice but to nod, but before getting in the car, she suddenly smiled, saying, "You treat him like this, aren't you afraid that he will bear a grudge against you?"

Du Yanze smiled: "He is very smart. He knows who to hold grudge against." Then he took one last look at Tang Zhilu and continued with a cold expression: "It doesn't matter whether he holds a grudge or not."

It really doesn't matter anymore. Du Yanze left the Tang residence, leaving only Oliver, the poor gardener, to stay.

"Are you comfortable leaving him there alone?"

Yang Zhao expressed his incomprehension. How could Tang Zhilu keep him there? Even if he kept him, what information could he get?

Du Yanze was playing with the invitation letter with black background and gold letters in his hand, his eyes never leaving the whiteboard in front of him which was full of clues.

"He won't. On the contrary, if there is any news from the FA, he will tell him immediately."

After saying that, Du Yanze smiled inexplicably. Strangely, he also bet that Tang Zhilu would be reluctant to part with it. His intuition told him that Tang Zhilu just couldn't bear to part with it.

He won the bet. After Tang Zhilu went back, Oliver stayed.

Now Yang Zhao has completely understood Du Yanze's plan. On the day of delivering the information, Yang Zhao thought Du Yanze was suspicious of Tang Zhilu, but then Du Yanze told her to keep an eye on Han Huai.

She also realized that between Tang Zhilu and Han Huai, Du Yanze actually always preferred Han Huai.

Through normal means of investigating and investigating, they can only be led by the nose. It would be better for them to take advantage of the situation like Tang Zhilu did.

Anyway, they had no evidence, no substantial evidence, and no motive for him to frame Tang Zhilu. Han Huai was completely slippery in front of them, and could even show off in front of them unscrupulously.

"Since you choose to trust Tang Zhilu, why don't you just cooperate with him?"

Du Yanze looked at Yang Zhao strangely: "Is a Fork like him worthy of trust?"

Yang Zhao smiled and asked casually: "That's not worth believing. Do you think it's worth taking the risk?"

Du Yanze himself didn't understand why he suddenly couldn't answer this question.

But he immediately decided to put it behind him, as it didn't matter anymore.

The most important thing for him was to think about what else he could do besides waiting, and whether he could start with Han Huai...

Chen Shuang cooperated with them and openly investigated Tang Zhilu and Tang's pharmaceutical company. These rumors caused Tang's stock price to fall a little.

But Tang Zhilu has been very cooperative. He only occasionally heard Yang Zhao tell him that Tang Zhilu often came to the store recently, and he did not ask about Du Yanze.

But everyone knew who he was waiting for.

However, Yang Zhao and Chen Shuang both thought that he was here to cause trouble, and only Deng Shan was shedding tears for the beautiful love.

But Du Yanze has already gone to Country G. He is unwilling to give up until he has personally gone through Han Xian's case and Han Huai's affairs. If he can find any clues about Han Huai, he may be able to arrest him directly.

There is also Barnett mentioned by Tang Zhilu, a middle-aged man with a Chinese face.

The biggest gain of SDD's last cleanup operation was the killing of the so-called president of FA. Du Yanze personally took action, and coincidentally, the person who did it was also a middle-aged man with a Chinese face.

Yang Zhao had already shown the photo to Tang Zhilu, and confirmed that it was the same person. So he was Barnett, and who was the Barnett who came to China in the intelligence?

Du Yanze had no evidence, but he was 100% sure it was the boy Tang Zhilu had mentioned.

Du Yanze's hair has been dyed back, and his black hair is shorter, but he can hide his presence very well by just lowering his head.

He sat by the fountain in the square, with a few pigeons pacing around him, occasionally flying up to peck at the pigeon food he had casually scattered on the bench.

"I heard that you met some interesting people in China?" An old man who had taken the newspaper from the newsstand came over and sat next to him with a smile.

"It's a private matter, let's not talk about it." Du Yanze spoke the language of Country G fluently and fed the pigeons without changing his expression.

"Okay, let's talk business." The old man shook the newspaper and shrugged. "I've personally run around for you with my old arms and legs. Tang Zhilu's statement is 90% true."

"As for the Han Huai you mentioned, I can only say that it roughly matches the official records. But there is a very interesting thing. This kid named Han Huai replaced almost all of his documents through normal or abnormal procedures."

"It's not easy to change one's identity in China, especially for a child who has taken the college entrance examination. But in Country G, it's not impossible, especially since his only guardian is fully assisting..."

Du Yanze knew that he had found out something by saying that, so he quickly realized, "The one who went abroad was Han Huai, but the one who came back may not be Han Huai."

This was not a difficult task for FA. However, it meant that FA had been preparing to cut off its tail and survive, and was preparing to move its position.

"On the whole, I suggest you choose to cooperate with that Tang Zhilu." The old man said and laughed again, "Didn't you use the beauty trap to recruit him?"

Du Yanze only answered him: "He is a fork, all forks cannot be trusted."

Hearing him say this, the old man sighed, and seemed to be hesitant to speak. In the end, he only warned him: "You have already killed him with your own hands, try to move on."

Du Yanze laughed, stood up and clapped his hands: "I keep moving forward. But this doesn't stop me from hating all the Forks."

*

The rain lasted for a whole week, with only a few days when the sky cleared up for half a day. However, the sky was still covered with dark clouds and the air pressure was much lower.

It started to rain again in the evening, and Yang Zhao still came to the store to check on Deng Shan. Before leaving, Du Yanze told her that Deng Shan was a Cake, and that the FA had not caught her yet, so she should be careful to prevent them from looking for Cakes and attacking Deng Shan again.

"Sister Xiao Zhao, it's only nine o'clock now, why are you still worried? Nightlife hasn't started yet at nine o'clock."

Yang Zhao helped her clean up the store and tapped her head with a smile: "You are so old, yet you keep talking about nightlife."

"Didn't you watch the news? There have been a lot of attacks reported recently. Don't neglect your safety."

Deng Shan is at the old campus of Huajiang University. The location is not as remote as imagined, but the old campus is indeed located in the old city area with many alleys. Walking alone at night does test your courage.

Deng Shan waved her hand nonchalantly. In her opinion, those were too far away from her life. Along the way, she was busy showing off her new DIY cell phone chain to Yang Zhao, displaying the blue beads with special patterns on it.

Yang Zhao was no longer at the age where he liked small things, but he still smiled and praised it.

Yang Zhao watched her enter the school gate before leaving, waving his hand to tell her to go back to the dormitory quickly.

"It's over. I forgot my USB drive in the store. I have to do a group presentation tomorrow."

Deng Shan thought of this as soon as she entered the school. After a brief struggle, she decided to go back and get it.

The PPT is easy to deal with, but there are collected videos in the U disk. It would be too troublesome to ask classmates to send them one by one. It would be better to go back and get them.

The street lights were on, but the tiny lights looked so pale and powerless in the drizzle of rain. A cold wind blew by, and Deng Shan pulled her coat tighter, inexplicably thinking of the vague dream she had a few days ago.

"Don't be afraid, I am a materialist fighter, no monsters or demons can get close to me."

Turning into the alley, Deng Shan took a long breath and turned on the flashlight on her mobile phone. The light shone straight over and quickly melted into the darkness. It was better than nothing.

But she remembered that she only needed to turn two corners to reach the back street, and the road was not long, so she just needed to look for two familiar house numbers. She plucked up her courage and walked forward.

Snap

It seemed like someone stepped on something and broke it. Deng Shan's heartbeat quickened for some reason at that moment. She turned around and ran. She didn't care if he was an innocent passerby or not. She just ran away first...

After running a few steps, there was no movement behind her. Deng Shan breathed a sigh of relief, slowly stopped, leaned against the wall and gasped. Her fingertips felt a dent and she immediately withdrew her hand.

The wet water droplets from the umbrella ribs splashed onto her face, and the strands of hair on her forehead were also wet from running.

She immediately raised her phone to check the house number in the alley - No. 8. Eh? She was running forward with her head down, but she had already turned the corner?

But she was not in the wrong direction, so she should turn left...

Snap, snap, snap…

Deng Shan heard footsteps again in the rain, as if someone's shoes were heavy and stepped on the puddle. Deng Shan began to shiver unconsciously, and she couldn't tell whether it was because of the cold or fear.

Deng Shan immediately slowed down her pace and kept telling herself to stay calm, as she only had one more turn to get out.

But just in case, she began to think that this alleyway would lead her to someone else's house the fastest. Even if she got scolded, she could just yell "fire"...

Deng Shan was lost in thought and kept walking in the direction of her memory. The footsteps seemed to always be following her closely, and she didn't have the courage to stop and look.

Deng Shan took a deep breath and turned on her phone to contact Yang Zhao. She tried not to be too obvious. She was worried that if someone was following her and saw her trying to pull out her phone for help, they would suddenly go crazy.

Deng Shan didn't know whether she cried or not, her face was wet from the rain. She avoided the sound of footsteps and once the sound got louder she ran faster in panic.

Could it be that I misunderstood? Am I being too sensitive? What if he is not a bad person? Am I asking for trouble?

Is this road so long?

Her strength was quickly exhausted and her heartbeat was almost drowning out the sound of the rain. Deng Shan subconsciously touched the wall, but felt a familiar dent.

She raised her cell phone to take a picture of the house number, it was the same one!

No. 8

Someone was walking her around in circles like a cat playing with a mouse! The lights were dim at night, and she was so flustered that she didn't pay any attention to her surroundings.

Really, someone is following her!

Deng Shan no longer hesitated and walked away quickly. Her palms felt slippery, she couldn't tell if it was rain or sweat. She changed her mind now. She couldn't scream.

This would only make the other party discover her faster, which would do no good. She immediately edited a text message to call the police, and then called Yang Zhao, the beads on the phone dripping with water...

Snap, snap, snap…

The sound gradually became clearer in her ears. Deng Shan told herself to stay calm, but her mind was completely blank.

She didn't dare turn on the flashlight again, and just tried to identify the road signs under the dim street lights and kept walking.

But the road that usually took only a short time to walk to the end during the day suddenly became like a maze. She became more and more anxious and even mustered up the courage to walk back a distance.

The criminals haven't killed me yet, but I'm going to get lost first... Deng Shan smiled bitterly, trying to relieve her overly nervous mood. Her hands and feet were so tense that they were weak.

"Deng Shan, are you okay?"

It was too dark, and Deng Shan suddenly heard a familiar voice. The voice was so gentle and soft that Deng Shan almost cried.

Han Huai was standing under the street light in front of the intersection, holding an umbrella, with a look of surprise on his face.

Deng Shan's tense nerves relaxed instantly. She held on to the wall with weak legs and walked towards Han Huai who was standing in front of her.

So lucky, he's here...

"Are you okay?"

Deng Shan touched the water off her face and vaguely saw Han Huai's face, which was full of concern. The ghostly footsteps finally disappeared at this moment...

Deng Shan was speechless and just kept shaking his head and gasping for breath.

"It's so late, let me take you home." Han Huai walked to her side and tilted the umbrella in his hand towards her.

Deng Shan felt the numbness and swelling in her hands and feet gradually improve, and Han Huai was patiently waiting for her. He had a smile on his face, but it was blurry in the dim light.

"I...I can't find the way."

"Shouldn't you be very familiar with this place? How did you go the wrong way?"

Deng Shan slowly straightened up, feeling an indescribable feeling in her heart, but the feeling of fear just now suddenly eased, and she wanted to kowtow to Han Huai three times.

"Do you know the way?"

"Have you forgotten? You and I are classmates, and I am also from Huajiang University."

The cell phone in Deng Shan's hand suddenly rang. She glanced and saw that it was Sister Yang Zhao calling back.

The screen lit up, and Deng Shan subconsciously looked at Han Huai. Han Huai smiled and reached out to help her hang up the call.

"I'll take you there. No need to trouble her."

Deng Shan's heart tightened and her fingers clenched. She wanted to remain calm and asked him in the calmest tone possible.

"It's so late, Brother Han, why are you here too?"

The rain was still falling, Deng Shan's cell phone rang again, and Han Huai, half of his face hidden in the night, smiled softly.

"Do you doubt me? I thought you would just follow me obediently."
