The previous second, Zhou Jinwei didn't want to answer Chen Tinghan's call because of a strong sense of guilt. After all, in his opinion, Chen Tinghan was an "insider" and, like him, acted according to a strong code of conduct.
And now, he has taken that step and made a choice that a policeman would despise, which he sees as a betrayal.
And what about You Shenyu? In this life, he probably won't be able to meet someone he loves more, and who loves him more. Even if a phone call doesn't go through, the name on it can still touch the softest part of his heart.
After thinking for a long time, he finally pressed the answer button before the call was about to exceed the response time.
Chen Tinghan's voice came from the other side: "It's me."
Zhou Jinwei paused, then cursed with a smile, "Fuck you, I knew it... How did you get my phone number? Are you tracking me down?"
"Yes." Chen Tinghan said briefly, "Do you have a gun?"
Zhou Jinwei's brows furrowed suddenly, his thoughts racing. He glanced at Lu Chao standing next to him calmly and said in a low voice, "I brought it."
Chen Tinghan said quickly, "I just received intelligence that someone wants to kill you. Now follow my instructions and don't miss a single step."
This made Officer Zhou's muscles tense up and he looked around quickly. He did not doubt Chen Tinghan's words, nor did he think that he was playing a trick on him, but he still found it a little unbelievable. Who dared to attack him and how?
Along the way, he didn't find anyone following him at all. Moreover, the terrain in this place was open and he was standing on a commanding height, so he could see the surrounding situation clearly and there was nothing unusual.
With his mind racing, Zhou Jinwei had already put on his headphones and asked Lu Chao directly, "Did you come here alone?"
"Of course it's just one person."
"Did you bring a tail with you when you came here?"
He was stunned by the question, his mind went blank for a moment, and then his face suddenly turned pale, without a trace of blood, and he asked back: "You, you mean..."
Zhou Jinwei understood what he meant by that. The bullshit boss, the caution, the counter-investigation, it was all just a makeshift team, all outwardly impressive but inwardly weak, all a show put on by Lu Chao for himself, to comfort himself. Everyone else knew everything about his actions.
Zhou Jinwei was really carried away and actually believed in the so-called caution of this kind of person.
The gun is in hand, the safety off.
"If you don't want to die, just follow me."
......
Chen Tinghan quickly gave the first instruction: "Go downstairs at the most normal speed, look calm, and pretend nothing happened."
Zhou Jinwei did as he was told, walked down the stairs at his usual pace, and soon reached the downstairs. He walked to the side of the road with Lu Chao as if nothing had happened.
"Then walk around the right-hand corner and head towards Lu Chao's car."
The two then walked towards a low-key gray car. Halfway there, new instructions came from the headset: "Don't walk too fast...Okay, stop in this shady place."
Although he didn't know what the purpose was, Zhou Jinwei still stopped, not taking a single step forward, waiting where he was. This place was shady, and the accumulated water from the previous two days' rain had lingered there for a long time. The damp moisture clung to the moss, dripping down like a drumbeat.
Until one moment, another drop of water fell.
The earth shook violently, and the gray car in front of the two people burst into flames from the chassis. The scorching heat instantly stirred up the wind, blew up the clouds and dust, and burned away the weeds.
The car body burst open like an iron embroidered flower, and the artistic beauty brought by the flames could be seen in an instant. Then it twisted and deformed, and the flames were short-lived. Only a piece of burning iron sheet that flew up to the sky fell down weakly, making a teeth-grinding collision sound.
The sudden explosion shocked both of them. Not only the two people at the scene, but even Chen Tinghan, who was on the other end of the phone, had his breathing slowed down for a moment.
Chen Tinghan finally learned about the existence of that phone card before Zhou Jinwei's death in his previous life. He had been closely following the movement of this card from the very beginning. It can be said that he was "monitoring" Lao Zhou to a certain extent. It was not out of distrust, but because he trusted him too much and knew too well what this guy would do.
Although he had an idea of Zhou Jinwei's whereabouts, he received the news that someone wanted to attack Zhou Jinwei in a hurry, and there was no available surveillance at the scene. Chen Tinghan rushed to the scene in a hurry, observed with a telescope from a high-rise building at a distance, and provided him with support.
Chen Tinghan clenched his fists, sweat dripping from his face. The enemy was just as ruthless as he'd imagined. He put himself in their shoes and thought, what methods would they use to eliminate a police officer?
Shootings can easily develop into gunfights. Homemade firearms are unreliable and prone to accidents, while reliable firearms are not so easy to obtain, so it is very easy to leave behind traces, which is very risky.
There are many other options, but considering the environment and conditions they are in now, there are not many means left, and the possibility of using bombs is quite high.
Lao Zhou is an old criminal policeman and very cautious. There is a high probability that all the cars on the road will be within his field of vision. He wants to tamper with the police vehicle and kill a policeman. No matter from which angle you look at it, the risk is too great.
The only one left who could cause problems is the boss named Lu Chao.
So Chen Tinghan decided to give it a try. Although it was just a test, he didn't actually think that he could really test out a bomb. He just wanted to give it a try and then let Zhou Jinwei temporarily change the route and use complicated props as a cover to hide.
Fortunately, he just tried it this time.
The two men didn't get in the car, and they didn't start the ignition, so the bomb wasn't mounted on the car and ignited, but was remotely controlled. I saw the two men walking downstairs to the car, but I couldn't see where they actually got in the car... Chen Tinghan looked intently and gave orders in a deep voice: "The enemy is hiding on the third floor of the prefabricated house to your southwest. There should be only one of them, and there is only one of them in this group.
Don't take any risks, go to the sales office in the back, support is on the way."
After hearing this, Zhou Jinwei pulled Lu Chao without hesitation, ran and bumped into the sales office, stepped on the broken glass on the ground, and squatted behind the heavy marble counter.
The heavy breathing did not dispel the horrible silence, but instead complemented it, like a concerto, which strung out Lu Chao's nerves. His legs were shaking like a sieve, and he actually peed.
Zhou Jinwei didn't have time to pay attention to him. He picked up his mobile phone, turned on the camera, and observed the situation outside from an angle.
However, before he could wait for Chen Tinghan's next instruction, he heard another violent explosion in his ears. The mobile house where Chen Tinghan had just told him that the enemy was was blown into the sky right in front of him.
Zhou Jinwei was speechless for a moment, staring in amazement at the flames rising into the sky. Lu Chao was even more frantic, and he fell to the ground, wailing loudly, "It's not that bad, it really isn't that bad!"
