Chapter 27 Another Person
Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang followed behind the woman, keeping a distance of about three to four meters.
Qiu Ling turned a corner and disappeared from their sight. The woman's pace quickened noticeably, as if she wanted to catch up.
Seeing this, Lu Yanhe's suspicions deepened.
He and Yan Liang quickened their pace as well.
Suddenly, at that moment, the woman in front seemed to hear their footsteps, stopped abruptly, turned around, and looked at them.
Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang were both startled by the woman's sudden movement and stopped in their tracks.
The woman's eyes gleamed with a strange, terrifying light, like the eyes of an old witch peeking out from a window in a dark fairy tale.
Eyes that exude a chilling aura.
Lu Yanhe didn't know what she was going to do, but he instinctively felt a sense of threat.
"Who are you?" he asked loudly.
Yan Liang was startled by Lu Yanhe's sudden questioning.
The woman glared at them, then suddenly pointed a finger at them, "Who are you? What are you doing following me?"
Lu Yanhe said, "You follow others, yet you ask us why we're following you?"
The woman's eyes flickered, and she immediately said, "Mind your own business!"
Relying on the fact that there was still a distance of three or four meters between them, Lu Yanhe was not intimidated by her threat.
But at that moment, the woman suddenly turned and ran.
She moved very quickly, crossing the road and running into a side street on the other side.
"Why did she suddenly run away?" Yan Liang asked, puzzled.
Lu Yanhe shook his head. "I don't know. It's very strange."
"Are you alright? Why did she suddenly run away?" Li Zhibai ran up from behind them.
Lu Yanhe shook his head: "I don't know. We don't know why she suddenly ran away. She was threatening us one minute and then she ran away the next."
There are no other people on this road besides them.
The streetlights cast long shadows on the ground for them.
Qiu Ling has arrived.
Did she run away?
“She got away,” Li Zhibai said immediately. “Did you see what she looks like? Is she the wife of the man you arrested today?”
Qiu Ling shook her head and said, "I didn't see what she looked like. I was hiding around the corner, waiting for her to come over so I could catch her off guard. But she didn't come over. Then I heard Lu Yanhe talking to her."
Lu Yanhe said, "That person looks pretty scary."
Yan Liang nodded: "Like an old witch."
"An old witch?" Qiu Ling frowned instantly. "What did you see she look like?"
"Yes, even though she was wearing a sun hat, we could still see her face. She was very thin, and her eyes were terrifying. She stared at us menacingly and threatened us not to meddle," Yan Liang said.
“That shouldn’t be it. The person who scratched me during the day was quite fat,” Qiu Ling said. “The person you just saw is probably not the same person I’m talking about.”
"Then why is she following you so suspiciously?"
"Yes, and it's obvious they're after you. They've all told us not to meddle," Yan Liang said.
A look of confusion appeared on Qiu Ling's face.
"I don't know who was following me, and I didn't see what she looked like." She looked around. "There should be surveillance cameras around here. I'll ask my colleague to check for me."
“Yes, we must investigate. Don’t let our guard down,” Li Zhibai said. “It might be someone else who has ulterior motives and wants to take revenge on you.”
Lu Yanhe remained silent.
He carefully recalled the entire process that had just occurred.
The whole thing was strange.
First, it has been confirmed that the thin woman wearing the sun hat was there for Qiu Ling, and this is not a coincidence or a misunderstanding.
Secondly, since this person is not the woman who scratched Qiu Ling during the day, then he must be following Qiu Ling for another reason.
Third, why did that woman suddenly run away? Was it because she was discovered to be following Qiu Ling, so she ran away?
Lu Yanhe thought about it seriously and said to Qiu Ling, "Officer Qiu, you should seriously consider whether you have handled any cases recently that might lead to someone wanting to retaliate against you. You might need to be careful about your safety."
Qiu Ling nodded and said, "I know. Thank you all three of you today. It's lucky I ran into you three, otherwise I don't know what would have happened."
She held her phone, glanced at the time, and said, "It's getting late. You should go back first. I'll handle the rest."
Li Zhibai said matter-of-factly, "Officer Qiu, we'll take you back."
"Take me back?" Qiu Ling was taken aback.
“Yeah, who knows if that person is still watching from the shadows, waiting for us to leave before following you again, trying to do something bad to you,” Li Zhibai said. “With the three of us men protecting you, she definitely won’t dare to show her face again.”
Qiu Ling gave a wry smile and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but don't forget, I'm a police officer. Even if she really follows me, I have the power to fight back. You don't need to worry about me. Knowing there's danger, I'll be very careful. You should go back now."
“No, now that we’ve run into this, we have to make sure you get home safely, right?” Li Zhibai turned to ask Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang.
“Yes.” Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang cooperated with Li Zhibai at this moment, nodding without hesitation.
Lu Yanhe felt that even if Qiu Ling was a police officer and must have some martial arts skills, there was no guarantee that something might happen in the face of such danger. It would be safer for them to escort Qiu Ling back together.
He glanced back at the alleyway into which the woman had fled.
Who knows if she'll make a comeback?
Qiu Ling couldn't refuse these three people, so she had no choice but to let them not only take her into the residential area, but also to her building.
"Alright, we've arrived," Qiu Ling said. "You can rest assured now, go back quickly."
“Okay, go upstairs,” Li Zhibai said. “Send us a message when you get home, then we’ll leave.”
Qiu Ling was taken aback, then gave a helpless smile.
“Alright, thank you so much for escorting me home, I’m very grateful,” she said. “I’ll treat you to something to eat when I’m less busy. I’ll head upstairs now.”
"Bye-Bye."
After watching Qiu Ling go upstairs, Yan Liang asked, "Are we really going to stand here and wait for Qiu Ling to get home and send us a message?"
Li Zhi nodded a hundred times.
Yan Liang sighed.
Okay.
Yan Liang looked at Li Zhibai's upturned lips and the happiness on his face, and teased, "Looks like meeting your goddess tonight has improved your mood."
Li Zhibai immediately composed himself.
"What goddess? You're just spouting nonsense."
