The assistant initially thought Zhou Yi was a very good person, always remaining humble and composed in the face of anything!
In Kyoto, a place teeming with important figures, Zhou Yi showed no fear in the face of anyone.
They were usually very polite to him. Even though he was highly regarded by Mrs. Yang and Boss Yang, Zhou Yi never took advantage of their favor and treated his assistant as an equal.
But he never expected that Zhou Yi would dare to poison Mrs. Yang.
Suddenly—
His previous goodwill towards Zhou Yi vanished, leaving only intense disgust and an eagerness to sever ties. His assistant, fearing this matter would affect his promotion, now wished he could personally bring Zhou Yi to justice.
Zhou Yi was caught by the special police and could not struggle. He looked at his assistant, who had been smiling at him before, but now looked at him with hatred. Zhou Yi's heart instantly turned cold.
His eyes flickered as he looked at his phone, which was off. A sense of helplessness and powerlessness washed over him: 'Oh well, it seems I'll have to wait until I clear up the misunderstanding before we meet again.'
After receiving the call from his godfather, Zhou Yi never considered running away.
This is Kyoto; he can't escape it. Rather than hiding, he should face it directly and prove that he didn't poison anyone.
He just wanted to tell Shen Bingyan that after so much anticipation, the two of them could finally meet in person.
But fate is fickle; will the two miss each other again?
Zhou Yi felt a little frustrated, but he didn't shout or yell. Instead, he obediently followed the special police out of the airport.
However—
Da da da—
Just one minute after Zhou Yi was put into the car, Shen Bingyan walked out of the airport.
She held her phone in one hand, looking at the last message she had sent, her brows furrowing slightly. Zhou Yi usually replied instantly, but this time he hadn't responded for a long time.
She looked up at the crowd of people waiting to pick up passengers, but Zhou Yi wasn't among them!
The head of the bodyguards, carrying the luggage, followed Shen Bingyan out and also glanced at the crowd: "Didn't you say you were waiting for us in the arrival area? Miss, we don't see him. Why don't we call and ask?"
Shen Bingyan came out and stood to the side to make a voice call to Zhou Yi.
The phone rang but I didn't answer it for a long time before the other party hung up.
A driver nearby approached, trying to solicit passengers: "Miss, where are you going? We can share a ride."
The bodyguard captain stood in front of Shen Bingyan, wearing sunglasses and looking indifferent; his muscles alone were enough to scare people away.
"We have someone to pick us up."
The driver responded with "oh, oh," and hurriedly looked for the next passenger, not daring to speak to Shen Bingyan again.
The bodyguard captain glanced at Shen Bingyan's actions, frowned, and said, "Didn't Zhou Yi send a message saying he'd been waiting here for a while?"
"Why haven't I seen him yet?"
"Miss, did he say which exit he was at?"
The bodyguard captain thought to himself that Zhou Yi was unreliable. As soon as Zhou Yi said he was coming to pick her up from the airport, Miss even informed the Shen family of her schedule!
Before boarding the plane, Zhou Yi said he would wait in advance, but now he and the lady are already at the exit, and Zhou Yi hasn't seen a trace of her.
"I can't get through on the phone." Shen Bingyan suddenly felt uneasy.
As far as she knew, Zhou Yi wasn't the type to change his mind easily; he had promised to pick her up from the airport early, and he would definitely come.
Did something happen on the way?
Before Shen Bingyan could make another call, the drivers who were soliciting passengers nearby started chatting, and their voices reached Shen Bingyan's ears without any interruption!
"I don't know what crime that young man committed, but several SWAT officers came out with him. You didn't see it, they were even carrying guns!"
"This is the first time I've ever seen SWAT officers carrying guns to arrest people. These people must be terrorists, right?"
"That was terrifying! I've only ever seen that kind of scene in TV dramas."
Another driver took a puff of his cigarette and chimed in, "This is Kyoto, in ancient times it would be under the emperor's nose. Would terrorists dare to come to Kyoto?"
"I was standing right next to them soliciting customers, and what I heard sounded like something about...poisoning and murder?"
"Tsk, that young man didn't struggle at all after he was caught. He was so calm. He poisoned and killed someone and he's still so calm. He even said he needed to reply to a message and was here to pick someone up. I wonder who he was picking up. Could it be an accomplice?"
"What a pity, the SWAT team confiscated his phone without giving him a chance to reply. Were they afraid he would send a message that would allow his accomplices to escape?"
Upon hearing their conversation, Shen Bingyan's eyelids suddenly twitched violently.
My heart sank suddenly!
She had a gut feeling that Zhou Yi wouldn't go back on his word, and that he must have been waiting for her here all along.
But it hasn't appeared yet...
Could it be...?
Shen Bingyan's expression was not good as she said, "Go and ask about the situation."
The bodyguard captain also overheard the drivers' conversation. After hearing Shen Bingyan's instructions, the bodyguard captain put the luggage on the ground, went over and first gave each driver a cigarette, and then asked them about the situation.
Soon, the bodyguard captain found out what was going on and walked over with a complicated expression. He said to Shen Bingyan, "Miss, the situation may not be good. According to their description, Zhou Yi should have been arrested by the special police."
"Their descriptions of appearance and age are similar to Zhou Yi's."
"I'll go to the airport right away to retrieve the surveillance footage."
Shen Bingyan turned off her phone and put it in her pocket, her voice indifferent: "I'll go with you."
The bodyguard captain picked up the luggage, made a phone call to the airport manager, and then the two of them entered the monitoring room without any trouble and retrieved the footage from earlier.
When Shen Bingyan saw Zhou Yi being held down by several special police officers and handcuffed, a hint of heartache and shock flashed across her indifferent face.
It really was Zhou Yi!
But... he was perfectly fine, so why was he taken away by the SWAT team?
She had been chatting with Zhou Yi every day for the past few days, but she couldn't sense from his words that he had gotten into any trouble in Kyoto.
She was still unclear about what Zhou Yi had done, and even less understood why he could mobilize armed special police! Her immediate priority was to see Zhou Yi, find out the reason, and then make any further plans.
The bodyguard captain stared at the monitor, his gaze growing increasingly complex and thoughtful. "Miss," he said, "they've even deployed SWAT teams from headquarters. This seems quite serious..."
I wonder what the young lady will do next?
The bodyguard captain looked at Shen Bingyan, who stared at the monitor for a while before turning and leaving the monitoring room.
After the two came out, Shen Bingyan immediately instructed, "Go and investigate immediately what has happened in Kyoto recently, and what is the situation with Zhou Yi."
"Also, let me explain this to the bureau."
"I want to see Zhou Yi."
The bodyguard captain nodded and said seriously, "Yes, Miss, I'll take care of it right away."
