Chapter 89 The case has been reported.
“The case we gave them was too simple, ranked ninth. As long as we use a large-scale investigation, we can definitely solve it.” Lu Ye muttered to Shen Zhenzhu, “Sigh, we were just unlucky this time.”
"Director Tu has disappointed me so much. Look, he doesn't even look at us anymore." Zhao Qiqi couldn't hide her emotions either, her lips tightly pressed together as she looked at the podium.
“There is no such thing as a flawless crime in this world; it’s just that we haven’t discovered the clues yet.” Shen Zhenzhu calmed herself down and said in a gentle tone, “Brother Zheng said that he mainly came here to exchange investigative techniques, so let’s do our best.”
After the draw on the stage, the lottery for Liancheng No. 9 was awarded to the female comrade who had invited Chen Zhenzhu to play badminton the night before. The bureau chief who drew the lots was beaming with joy, and could now stand tall and face the applause of his subordinates.
Shen Zhenzhu clapped along with everyone else, and Lu Ye used the applause as an opportunity to say to her, "It's like participating in a sports meet, where everyone shouts 'Friendship first, competition second,' do you believe it?"
Shen Zhenzhu, of course, did not believe it. This was her first time leading a team to participate in the "Grand Martial Arts Competition," and she couldn't let her morale be completely crushed right after the draw.
After the draw, the provincial leaders gave many encouraging words on stage, and Director Tu also gave a final speech.
"Comrades, today we are launching a province-wide public security system 'grand skills competition' under the theme of 'Sharpening Elite Soldiers in Real Combat, Shielding Peace with Swords'. First of all, I would like to pay my highest respects to all my comrades on the front lines of investigation and case handling..."
Shen Zhenzhu sat upright, clapping her hands vigorously as she listened attentively to Director Tu's speech. She held the veteran criminal investigators in the highest esteem.
"...This competition is a comprehensive test of the capabilities of the public security iron army in the new era of reform, and a vivid practice of our solemn commitment to 'People's Police for the People.' With the 'Grand Competition' imminent, I would like to make three points: First, we must focus on learning, learning from each other's loyalty and sense of responsibility. Comrades offstage must demonstrate their best skills in solving cases! Second, we must use learning to improve our hard-earned skills for defeating the enemy. The traditional criminal investigation techniques of 'every crime scene must be investigated, every clue must be pursued' cannot be abandoned; we must also improve our ability to use new technologies and multi-agency collaborative operations, learning from each other and transforming the techniques summarized in the 'Grand Competition' into killer weapons against crime. Third, we must use learning as a cohesive force, constantly forging a sharp sword of unity and cooperation. Every detail is crucial to success or failure; I believe you will demonstrate a team combat power of '1+1>2' in solving cases..."
Finally, please remember this: every case we solve reduces the danger to the people. Every difficult case we overcome brings greater peace and harmony to society. The Provincial Public Security Department Party Committee has prepared a celebratory feast, and we look forward to your fruitful results. Now, I declare: the 1993 Provincial Public Security System Crime-Solving Exchange Conference—officially open!
Shen Zhenzhu exclaimed from the bottom of her heart, "The way leaders speak is just different!"
It would be even better if I didn't have bad luck.
Almost immediately after Director Tu announced the start of the "Grand Competition," the entire venue became the "Competition Hall."
Lu Ye, who had participated before, was not surprised. Chen Zhenzhu and Zhao Qiqi watched as more than half of the nine teams left in an instant, and dozens of police academy students came and went to help set up the "base camp".
On the surrounding walls are the numbers and names of each case, below which are extensions for dedicated liaison and police academy students, responsible for updating the progress of the investigation, helping with scoring, and other auxiliary work.
"Wow, what a grand display!" Shen Zhenzhu had been pretending to prioritize friendship over competition, but suddenly realized that everyone had stopped pretending.
Many police academy students present discussed and studied the cases listed as No. 1 to No. 9. As outstanding student representatives of provincial public security colleges, this "grand competition" was a rare learning opportunity for them.
There were lively discussions among the students under each case, except for Case No. 1, "The Serial Disappearances in Hongmei County," which was completely deserted.
Without any clues, what's there to discuss?
To the left of Case 1 are Cases 8 and 9, and a few tables further ahead is the "Dissection Case," which has a difficulty level of 7 in Shenshi.
Three police officers from Shenyang, including Song Xinchen, sat calmly below, discussing the case with an air of confidence.
Seeing Shen Zhenzhu and her group standing there dumbfounded under Case No. 1, Song Xinchen pointed to his desk and said, "It's taboo to be clueless when solving cases. It's more direct to use bombs. If we really can't find a clue, why don't we apologize to the provincial leaders and switch roles?"
Sitting next to Song Xinchen was a young policeman in his twenties. Compared to Song Xinchen, he was quite handsome, with thick eyebrows and big eyes.
He stopped Song Xinchen's provocative gesture and nodded apologetically to Shen Zhenzhu and the others: "Sorry, that's just his personality. Please forgive him."
"What's wrong with my personality? Let me tell you, solving cases is the only thing that matters." Song Xinchen clapped the clues in his hand and said with a smile, "Three clues will soon become ten. It's easy to go from three to ten, but going from zero to three, I wonder if some people can do that."
Shen Zhenzhu pulled Lu Ye along and walked straight up to Song Xinchen, mimicking Gu Yanzheng's condescending expression as she said, "I can do it, but you might not be able to."
The face-to-face provocation stunned Song Xinchen. Putting aside the two months of study, when he first met the famous Chen Zhenzhu yesterday, she looked no different from any other soft-spoken girl on the street.
Yet this seemingly gentle young girl gave him an unseemly gift, which led to him being reprimanded by the bureau chief last night.
The humiliating memory of being relentlessly provoked by Gu Yanzheng resurfaced. Even after several years, Song Xinchen still couldn't accept the fact that he was inferior to Gu Yanzheng. He had thought he could finally have a good competition this year, but Gu Yanzheng didn't come, and he became Chen Zhenzhu.
In conclusion, Gu Yanzheng's historical conflicts were inherited by Shen Zhenzhu.
"Fine, whoever loses has to take off their uniform and go to the mailroom to collect the newspapers!" Song Xinchen said with a forced smile, "'First-Class Hero' Comrade Shen Zhenzhu, do you dare?"
Shen Zhenzhu didn't know that this was a consequence of her brother Zheng's crazy slap in the face back then, but she knew that Song Xinchen was a bit impulsive.
“Director Tu just said that we should ‘learn from each other’s loyalty and sense of responsibility,’ not that we should gamble with our careers at the drop of a hat. If you’re so fond of gambling, go scratch cards at the school gate. I don’t need to waste my time with gamblers.” Shen Zhenzhu took two steps, turned back, and said with a half-smile, “Remember my refusal; you’ll thank me.”
"What do you mean by that?" Song Xinchen asked, his eyes wide.
Shen Zhenzhu raised an eyebrow and said, "I respect my profession and I won't gamble on it, even if I know I'll win."
That's how it is.
Lu Ye snorted from behind and rolled his eyes to the sky.
"Comrade Shen is right. We shouldn't act impulsively. We should focus on communication and direct the conflict towards external enemies." The young man next to Song Xinchen stood up to block him and extended his hand to shake hands with Shen Zhenzhu: "Hello, my name is Liu Yiyang. I'm leading the team to participate in the 'Grand Competition' this time. Please don't take Song Xinchen's words to heart. I sincerely apologize."
The female police officer playing badminton nearby also said, "Gambling your entire career like this, what do you take the police for?"
Song Xinchen knew he had said the wrong thing in a moment of impulse. Faced with everyone's criticism, he wanted to apologize but felt embarrassed, so he could only whisper, "It was just a joke."
Liu Yiyang tried to smooth things over, extending his hand to Shen Zhenzhu again and saying, "He just likes to make jokes indiscriminately, so let's not take it to heart. Comrade Shen, let's solve cases based on our abilities and learn from each other."
Faced with Liu Yiyang's overtures, Shen Zhenzhu scoffed and slapped his hand away: "Captain Liu, please keep your men in check. We're competing to see who can solve cases the fastest, not who can talk the loudest."
Liu Yiyang saw the two "Hum and Ha Generals" behind Shen Zhenzhu, who were indeed well-trained and remained silent when they shouldn't have. Although the two of them looked like they wanted to devour Song Xinchen.
Song Xinchen was about to speak again when Liu Yiyang scolded him, "Have you made enough of a scene? Are you still going to solve the case or not?!"
Shen Zhenzhu ignored them and led Lu Ye and Zhao Qiqi back to Case No. 1.
The two police academy students in charge of Case No. 1 quickly created a separate space using movable partitions to avoid further confrontation and arguments.
They were overjoyed to learn that Shen Zhenzhu was involved in Case No. 1. The number of female police graduates from the province assigned to the criminal investigation team has been gradually increasing in the past two years, reportedly all because of Shen Zhenzhu.
She led Liancheng's crime-solving rate to soar. Agile and intelligent, she broke down gender barriers and became a role model for many female trainees! Everyone hopes to join the criminal investigation team after graduation and become an outstanding police officer like Shen Zhenzhu!
"Brother Ye! Brother Qi!" Chen Zhenzhu sat down and said gratefully to them, "You two are too kind. You can each have a lotus leaf chicken leg."
She held her backpack across her chest, took out a lotus leaf chicken, placed it on the table, and called to the two police academy students, "You two have good taste. I'll give you a delicious chicken wing as a reward for each verbal praise you give me!"
Lu Ye said, both amused and exasperated, "Aren't we going to solve the case anymore? Why are we suddenly eating?"
"I didn't eat any this morning." Chen Zhenzhu said, tearing apart the lotus leaf chicken without looking up, "My mom said it can only be kept for three days at most, otherwise it will spoil. Don't underestimate food spoilage, you know, it can make you vomit and have diarrhea until you're completely exhausted, and then it will be too late to regret it."
“Besides, we can’t waste food.” One of the police academy students, with a round face, dragged over a stool, pulled another student to sit next to him, and, smelling the aroma of the lotus leaf chicken, said, “We can’t just eat for free, why don’t we read the case details to the three senior officers?”
“This is fine.” Chen Zhenzhu stuffed a large chicken wing into her hand with a tissue and said, “Eat it, don’t be shy.”
As he spoke, he finished off the remaining chicken wings and drumsticks.
"Thank you, senior. You can call me Xiaobai." Xiaobai took the chicken wing and took a bite. She had never eaten such fragrant lotus leaf chicken before. She savored it carefully for a couple of bites, then opened the file and began to read.
Shen Zhenzhu tore open a piece of chicken breast and delicately dipped it in the sauce from the small box. She had brought the lotus leaf chicken specifically because she didn't have time to eat breakfast in the morning. She could just grab a few bites now so she could set off as soon as she found a clue, which would save her time.
Lu Ye devoured the large chicken leg in a few bites, not bothering to savor it, and wiped his hands before burying himself in sorting out clues about missing persons.
After finishing his meal, Zhao Qiqi licked his fingers, rolled up his sleeves, and asked, "Sister Pearl, what's the best approach to solving these serial disappearances? Is it the same as for ordinary missing persons cases?"
These words resonated with Lu Ye and Xiao Bai, who looked intently at Chen Zhenzhu, eagerly awaiting an answer.
"Wait a moment." Little White, with a chicken wing in its mouth, ran to the side and brought back a whiteboard and a whiteboard marker: "Senior!"
Shen Zhenzhu gave a thumbs up, thinking the young man was teachable.
"Let me first talk about how to solve a typical missing persons case, so we can make a comparison."
Her words also aroused the curiosity of the female police officer next door and others who were passing by stopped and couldn't help but listen for a few minutes.
A series of disappearances with zero clues—whoever gets assigned to it is completely clueless.
Chen Zhenzhu wiped her hands, not trying to hide anything, but deciding to fulfill her promise of technical exchange and listen in on the investigation process if anyone was willing.
She took the whiteboard marker and wrote "solo disappearance case" and "serial disappearance case".
He continued, "First, the assumptions are different. Independent disappearances can be assumed to be: isolated events, with no clear criminal motive. For example, running away from home, accidents, accidental kidnapping, etc. The key is to ascertain the victim's last movements, investigate their social relationships, and determine whether their disappearance was voluntary."
Serial disappearances presuppose the existence of a well-established crime pattern within the area where the disappearances occurred. Examples include serial killers and human trafficking organizations. The key is to investigate common characteristics of the victims: age, occupation, gender, time and location of disappearance, consistency in modus operandi, and signs of escalation in the crimes.
Zhao Qiqi quickly jotted it down in her notebook and asked, "Does that mean we can confirm that the serial disappearances are serious crimes, and there's no possibility of voluntary disappearances?"
“Of course, when you first joined our team, the case of the illegal imprisonment of a deaf-mute disabled person at the brick factory was also a type of serial disappearance case. It already had the beginnings of a human trafficking organization.” Shen Zhenzhu wrote “Core Ideas” on the whiteboard and said: “The golden time for solving independent disappearance cases is 72 hours. We can trace the victim’s personal social relationships and psychological state. The last place the victim appeared and the witnesses are crucial. First, we need to screen within the circle of acquaintances.”
Serial disappearances are cases that require long-term investigation; the case we're handling has been ongoing for over four years. We can identify patterns in the time intervals between disappearances, create group profiles, find similarities among victims, and screen for high-risk individuals. The main investigation can be conducted using spatial analysis based on crime hotspots, or comfort zones. Once we have some leads, we can perform criminal profiling, screening suspects based on psychological profiles and behavioral patterns.
Lu Ye scratched his head, frowned, and flipped through the case files, saying, "There are many victims in the serial disappearance case, and the information is so complicated that it's easy to fall into the wrong direction."
Zhao Qiqi nodded and said, "Yes, with so many victims, we don't know whose behavior is the key, or who the people they came into contact with are suspects."
Shen Zhenzhu nodded and said, "Independent disappearance cases are prone to misclassifying passive disappearances as voluntary disappearances, leading to delays in the investigation. In serial disappearance cases, excessive focus on explicit connections can cause the perpetrator to lose their way due to deliberate interference. To use an analogy, independent disappearance cases are like piecing together a puzzle under a microscope, while serial disappearance cases are like identifying objects under a wide-angle lens. The former requires efficiency, while the latter requires systematic thinking and the support of criminal psychology. In the early stages of serial disappearance cases, they are easily disguised as independent disappearance cases, so quickly distinguishing the nature of the cases to avoid resource misallocation is also crucial."
"Criminal psychology?" Zhao Qiqi clapped his hands and said, "This is exactly what Sister Pearl is talking about!"
Having a clue to solve the case, Lu Ye volunteered, "Let me summarize the common characteristics of the victims."
Shen Zhenzhu looked at Zhao Qiqi and said, "Brother Qi, summarize the locations and times of the disappearances and see if there is a fixed pattern."
After saying that, she took out her mobile phone, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I'll go call Brother Zheng to let him know."
Shen Zhenzhu appeared very composed and spoke eloquently, except that her hand holding the mobile phone was a little sweaty.
The female police officers and others listening nearby couldn't help but remember the key points of Shen Zhenzhu's words. In this era where solving cases relied heavily on experience, such concise summaries were invaluable. Usually, only one's mentor would offer a few pointers.
In fact, this was the original intention behind holding the "Grand Competition".
The two police academy students were still exchanging notes. Shen Zhenzhu's analogical analysis was more practical than what the teacher taught in class, or rather, it was experience and techniques she had summarized from real-world combat. This "grand competition" had just begun, and they already felt they had benefited greatly.
Shen Zhenzhu glanced back, then walked away with her mobile phone in her arms.
With her subordinates' morale stabilized, she needed to talk to her superior to calm her nerves.
I also want to tell Brother Zheng that the executioner is incredibly ruthless!
“Your analysis is correct. Following this line of thought, let’s start by summarizing the characteristics of the group.” Gu Yanzheng had just finished his work and was about to ask about the situation when Shen Zhenzhu’s call came in at just the right moment.
Baba quickly recounted what had happened, awaiting the leader's feedback. Clearly, the leader was an encouraging type, knowing that Shen Zhenzhu preferred praise to criticism.
"Case clues don't fall from the sky. If you keep looking around, you might get unexpected results." Gu Yanzheng successfully reassured Section Chief Shen and offered a few more words of advice.
"Understood!" Shen Zhenzhu also had a plan; once she finished processing the information, she would go out to look for the family members.
"Besides, it's normal that we didn't solve Case No. 1. If things go wrong, the comrades who got Case No. 2 and No. 3 might even envy us for not losing face even though we couldn't solve them. If, by some chance, we solve it and they don't, the pressure will be on them, and we'll all be happy."
"That's true. I noticed that the comrades working on Case No. 2 and Case No. 3 were scratching their heads. It turns out that they were under more pressure than I was."
"Good to know. Health is the foundation of everything. Remember to balance work and rest."
"I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Zhenzhu returned to her seat with renewed energy and began searching through historical files. Occasionally, she would glance at the seats for cases number 2 and 3, where the more difficult cases were all sitting still, looking worried.
If I were the one who drew case number 2 or 3, I would really wish I had drawn case number 1. If I solved it, it would be a pleasant surprise; if I didn't, no one would say much.
"We're leaving, you guys take your time." Song Xinchen pulled his coat over his shoulders, leading Liu Yiyang by a wide margin. Anyone who didn't know better would think he was the team leader.
Xiao Bai stood up and slammed the partition shut.
Song Xinchen: "......" Goodness, you learn really fast.
"According to Deputy Captain Shen's analysis, the chances of the 25 missing persons surviving are slim. Let's call them victims for now. Of the 25 victims, 7 are from outside the province and 18 are registered residents of the province. Among them, there are 23 male victims, the youngest being 19 years old and the oldest 45 years old at the time of their disappearance. There are 2 female victims, aged 17 and 34 respectively, who disappeared with the male victims. One is the sister and the other is the wife."
Lu Ye and Zhao Qiqi summarized the missing persons information, and Lu Ye spoke: "The disappearances all occurred in the vicinity of Hongmei County. Some were passing through Hongmei County, some were doing business there, and they vanished without anyone noticing. Usually, it takes ten days to half a month for the families to discover and report the disappearances. There is no pattern to the timing of the disappearances; the frequency is about once every two months, with the longest interval being once every three months. All personal belongings disappeared, leaving no trace. These are the places where I found the last places they were seen: some disappeared after helping to build a rural Hope School, some after attending a wedding, and some were driving long-distance unlicensed taxis, and their cars were also gone."
Chen Zhenzhu rested her chin on her hand and thought for a moment, saying, "There are only two missing women. We can tentatively assume that they disappeared because they were implicated by the missing men. The suspect's target should be young and middle-aged men."
Zhao Qiqi said, "To be able to target young and middle-aged men without leaving a trace, it must be either a gang operation or someone who is very confident in their skills."
Shen Zhenzhu added, "We cannot rule out the possibility of 'anesthesia' using drugs or other means. What concerns me is the victim who drove a long-distance unlicensed taxi. We have his license plate number, so why did the vehicle disappear into thin air?"
"Could it be a cloned license plate? If you find an identical car, you can forge the license plate number and drive on the road." Zhao Qiqi, who knows about vehicles, pondered and said, "Engines all have serial numbers, but checking each engine one by one is like finding a needle in a haystack."
As Chen Zhenzhu marked "Hongmei County" with a key symbol, a huge clock on the wall suddenly struck, announcing to everyone present that the "Grand Competition" had already begun two hours earlier.
A countdown timer hung next to the clock, with a sign saying "29 days to go," urging Chen Zhenzhu to act quickly.
Shen Zhenzhu was also extremely anxious, especially after Song Xinchen left.
But she couldn't let things get out of control, so she said, "Give us another hour, and each of us will take charge of a portion of the victim files to get to know them."
As he spoke, he brought over a thick stack of file folders and began to look through them.
When an hour had passed, they looked up from their file folders and shook their heads in unison.
“Let’s go check Hongmei County first. Two of the victims live in Hongmei County.” Chen Zhenzhu stood up, stretched her arms, nodded to Xiaobai and Xiao Hongjun, and said, “Please keep an eye on things here and don’t let anyone touch them.”
"Don't worry, Sister Pearl, I guarantee you'll be back exactly the same as before." Xiao Bai stood up nimbly, pushed open the movable partition, and said, "Looking forward to good news from all of you seniors! The extension number is available 24 hours a day, and we can provide support and assistance in checking information. If you need to retrieve files from other locations, we will send someone on a business trip. Here is a map of Hongmei County, as well as a map of the township administrative regions."
"Thank you in advance." Chen Zhenzhu rubbed her temples, feeling mentally exhausted from dealing with the massive amount of files. Meeting the bright and intelligent police academy girl was truly therapeutic.
“It has been four years and nine months since the first report of the serial disappearances was filed. The chances of finding uncontaminated physical evidence are extremely slim.” Lu Ye and Shen Zhenzhu sat in the back of the Cherokee, continuing their small meeting to discuss the case: “By the way, maybe the people who filed the reports have forgotten what they said back then.”
“Investigating missing persons cases is generally a ‘labor-intensive’ operation. In addition to relying on the mobilization capabilities of the grassroots, it also tests our experience and intuition. At present, our crime-solving technology is limited. Unlike some areas abroad where ‘cameras’ are installed for tracking, we can only rely on our basic skills in on-site investigation.”
"You can find this kind of thing on the street?" Lu Ye was genuinely surprised.
Zhao Qiqi, who was driving in front, said, "I heard there's one in Tianxiamen Square."
"There should be. It's surprising that some streets abroad already have them." Lu Ye had seen it for himself.
It takes the three of them more than an hour to drive from Shen City to Hongmei County. At a gas station, Shen Zhenzhu took out some red bean buns for them to drink with Wahaha (a popular Chinese beverage), and that was their lunch.
Hongmei County has neither mountains nor rivers, and the surrounding farmers rely on growing cantaloupes and sorghum for a living. The county seat serves as the trading hub for cantaloupes and sorghum, with many organizations and middlemen coming and going to purchase them, generally concentrated in the second half of the year.
"There's also sorghum liquor. The sorghum liquor produced in Hongmei County is famous far and wide. I'll bring a few jin for my grandma later." Zhao Qiqi often buys sorghum liquor for her grandma and has long heard of Hongmei brand sorghum liquor.
There aren't many people from other places visiting Hongmei County in the spring; those who do come are mostly there to buy sorghum liquor.
In the center of the county town, there is a roundabout surrounded by seven or eight buildings of varying heights and dilapidated buildings, including a savings bank, a small shopping mall, and a hotel. It is part of Hongmei County's CBD.
The Cherokee circled the area twice and, noticing an open-air market not far away, pulled up to the intersection and stopped.
"Second office of the farmers' market management, Di Jun." Shen Zhenzhu read the address as she got out of the Cherokee.
It was already the end of the market season. People from the county town who had finished work rushed to the market on their bicycles to buy cheap goods, hanging plastic bags on their handlebars and pedaling away.
No matter the time, ordinary people always have a hard life.
Shen Zhenzhu knew the address, so she walked ahead.
Lu Ye and Zhao Qiqi followed behind.
She walked quickly, and they walked quickly too.
She turned, and they turned too.
She stopped and looked up to study the terrain, and they also stopped and looked around.
When the vendors at the market saw her and them, for some reason they packed up their stalls much faster.
Shen Zhenzhu searched around the market twice before finding the second office. The person there said regretfully, "I remember Di Jun. His brother is missing. I remember he and his parents moved away. He quit his job the year before last, saying he was going to the south to start a business. I don't know his address either. I'm not close to Di Jun, so there's no need for me to shamelessly ask him for his address."
Lu Ye went up and asked a few more questions, but unfortunately the other party knew nothing about it and was busy getting off work.
Shen Zhenzhu had no choice but to call headquarters and ask Xiaobai to help check Di Jun's file. She continued her search for the second victim's family from there.
The second victim worked at the public bathhouse; her family owned it. The county town wasn't large, and following the map, Chen Zhenzhu asked several people for directions before heading towards the public bathhouse.
“After we finish this one, we’ll go back and do the criminal profiling,” Shen Zhenzhu said.
As she walked down the street, she noticed that passersby were making way for her, which she found strange. Looking down at her plainclothes clothes, she wondered if it was because she was a police officer.
This strange feeling was dispelled only after receiving a call from Xiaobai.
Xiao Bai said urgently on the phone, "Sister Pearl, be careful! A report has been filed in Hongmei County that two burly men are following a strange woman. The description matches your physical characteristics! The county police station is very concerned and has reported it to the city bureau, which in turn contacted our venue!"
Two burly men are following us? Who are they?
Shen Zhenzhu pressed her lower back and silently turned around. She saw the two generals, Lu Ye and Zhao Qiqi, just a step away, and her lips twitched.
"Thank you to the kind people who reported the case. I'm fine; it was a misunderstanding."
"Is it really a misunderstanding?" Xiaobai said in a low voice, "If you're being threatened, cough once."
Shen Zhenzhu chuckled and said, "You're very vigilant, thank you. It's all a misunderstanding. You've met the people who've been with me before; they're Senior Lu Ye and Senior Zhao Qiqi."
Xiao Bai visibly breathed a sigh of relief on the phone. The young student, who had never experienced anything like this before, choked up and said, "That really scared me to death."
"Don't worry, I'll tell you later." After contacting Xiaobai, Chen Zhenzhu looked at the two who were still unaware of the situation, both amused and exasperated: "You two, get out of here!"
