"Aren't there two people? Where's the other one? Did he chase after them?!"
Suddenly, a teammate's voice rang out from afar: "Captain! There's one of our teammate here!"
Lu Yuan quickly shifted his gaze and saw the car door open, and a team member who was bent over with his head down and hands hanging down was pulled out of the car.
Seeing this, Lu Yuan was furious. He rushed over and kicked Zhou Qi to the ground, shouting, "You fucking hid in the car like that! Are you even a man?! I'll kill you right now! If I'd known you were such a coward, I shouldn't have let you come!"
Enraged, Lu Yuan could no longer contain his anger and pulled out a pistol from his pocket, pressing it against Zhou Qi's forehead.
Upon seeing that the other person was Zhou Qi, the hater was immediately enraged: "Zhou Qi, you've really disappointed me! I was actually helping you out! I never expected you to betray your own teammate like this! From now on, we're not friends anymore! You don't deserve to be my friend!"
After saying that, Hei Zi angrily turned and left. Lu Yuan didn't even glance at Zhou Qi, who was almost scared to death. Although Lu Yuan didn't know what had happened, he could figure it out even with a brain. Lu Yuan immediately regretted agreeing to let Zhou Qi come and help.
The team members drove their car in the direction Niu Wen pointed. The lights along the way were bright, and the residents who were still resting were immediately awakened by the noise. One by one, they came out of their homes to ask what was going on. But judging from the scene, it seemed that something was really about to happen.
...
In Minister Chen's office on the other side, Chen Kaiming sat at his desk, frowning as he looked at the report in his hand.
The guard standing to the side didn't dare to breathe too loudly. Usually, when Chen Kaiming was like this, it meant he was quite angry. He had been following Chen Kaiming since before the apocalypse, and after all these years, he knew Chen Kaiming's personality best.
Fortunately, Chen Kaiming is usually very patient. He doesn't usually care about small things, and he won't show it even if it's something big. He usually has a smug look on his face, but today he was as cold as ice. The guard had only seen him like that a few times over the years.
After finishing reading the report, Chen Kaiming slammed it on the table and cursed, "Outrageous! Outrageous! How dare they bully me! They simply don't respect me, Chen Kaiming! Since they want to play hardball, fine! I'll play along!"
The guards immediately stood ramrod straight, not daring to breathe, awaiting Chen Kaiming's next instructions.
Sure enough, after lighting a cigarette and finishing it, Chen Kaiming said, "Xiao Liu, go and inform these people that I'm treating them to dinner at the Marriott Hotel tonight!"
The guard glanced at the time and looked troubled. "Minister, it's already past lunchtime. How about tomorrow?"
Minister Chen waved his hand dismissively: "No need! Now is the time! They can eat more after they've eaten, and there are definitely some people who aren't full yet! I'm going to whet their appetites today!"
The guard saluted and then left the office.
Then Minister Chen picked up the phone and dialed Lu Yuan's number: "Lu Yuan! How's the case going? What's the progress?"
Lu Yuan, on the other end of the phone, was a little annoyed when he heard Minister Chen ask this question, but he still told the truth: "Minister Chen, this is my fault. I should have properly sent people to guard the area and let Pang Rui escape. But we are still chasing him and should be able to catch him soon!"
"Okay! That's good. As long as there's a clue, keep pursuing it. If anyone tries to stop you, ignore them and deal with them directly. If anything goes wrong, pin it all on me!" Chen Kaiming said through gritted teeth.
Lu Yuan was surprised to hear these words. What was wrong with Minister Chen today? He wasn't usually very attentive to cases, so why was he acting like this now? Did he also encounter some difficulties and was he going to fight with his superiors?
"Don't worry, Minister Chen, I know exactly what to do after hearing your words!"
"Okay! That's it!"
After saying that, Chen Kaiming hung up the phone.
Sitting in his office, Chen Kaiming stared intently at the calligraphy on the wall, which bore the powerful characters "Justice and Integrity".
"Hmph! A bunch of petty scoundrels dare to openly challenge me. Today, I, Chen Kaiming, will see whether your tricks are more insidious or my fists are stronger!"
...
At 10:30 p.m., it's time for everyone to rest.
The Marriott Hotel had just finished tidying up and was preparing to close when the phone at the front desk suddenly rang.
A female receptionist frowned as she looked at the ringing phone, her mind still preoccupied with her boyfriend whom she was meeting that evening, but she still picked up the phone without hesitation.
"Hello! This is the Marriott Hotel. How can I help you?"
"Reserve the largest private room for me, and all the chefs must stay on duty. You have half an hour to go and buy the ingredients. We're going to have a banquet at your Marriott Hotel tonight!"
The female receptionist was momentarily stunned upon hearing the other party's unquestionable tone. At this time, the hotel's food supplies had been almost completely consumed, and the chefs had mostly gone home, leaving only the receptionists and cleaning staff.
