At this moment, Zhou Chunhua was fully prepared, intending to use her own body as a human cushion to protect her daughter.
The car body spun faster and faster, like a top.
She didn't even have time to look at her daughter one more time; she could only hold her daughter tightly, savoring the warmth of her body that she had longed for for seven whole years.
She really wanted to watch Nini grow up, but... she might not have that chance.
With a complicated expression, Zhou Chunhua couldn't help but think of Gu Yao.
It's all because of her!
Gu Yao was implicated because he helped her.
"I'm sorry." She looked at Gu Yao with tears in her eyes.
However, Gu Yao said, "What nonsense are you thinking! They want your life, but they need my permission first!"
Before she could even see what Gu Yao had done, the car suddenly stopped turning and, in the blink of an eye, shot off.
Then, another loud crash followed.
Zhou Chunhua bumped her head against the back of the seat.
Seriously, it's a good thing it was soft. Otherwise, I would definitely have had a concussion.
At the same time, the creaking sound of sheet metal scraping against the ground could be heard outside the window.
She hurriedly endured the pain and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a black sedan roll over to the side of the road and crash into a telephone pole, with a loud bang and flames shooting up from under the car...
Bang!
It exploded!
That car... exploded!
Zhou Chunhua turned her head to look behind her with trembling pupils, and only then did she realize that the car was one of the ones that had hit them.
The other two cars also stopped next to the one that was engulfed in flames.
The people in the car rushed out and began to help put out the fire.
As the scene in her field of vision shrank smaller and smaller, Zhou Chunhua gradually came to her senses.
She slumped back in her seat, the events that had just occurred replaying in her mind like a movie.
She actually experienced this kind of famous scene that only happens in movies. If you told others, not only would others not believe it, but even she herself wouldn't believe it.
After regaining her senses, she quickly checked Nini's body and, after confirming that Nini was not injured, she breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed.
"Are you alright? How's Nini? Are you hurt?" Gu Yao turned to look at her, his eyes full of worry.
"I'm fine. How about you? Are you hurt?"
At that moment, in Zhou Chunhua's eyes, Gu Yao was shining brightly.
"I'm fine, it's just... I might be busy tonight." Gu Yao smiled calmly.
His calm and composed demeanor made it seem as if nothing had happened.
She didn't understand. They were all ordinary people, so how could Gu Yao remain calm even when Mount Tai collapsed in front of him?
When she came to her senses, she realized that the car had already stopped in front of Uncle Hat's house.
Then, Gu Yao took out his phone and called Captain Zhang of the special task force.
The phone rang more than ten times, but the other party did not answer.
Gu Yao dialed a second time, and after seven or eight rings, Captain Zhang's voice came from the other end.
Gu Yao got straight to the point, briefly recounting what they had just experienced.
The time, place, cause, process, and result were all included without omission.
On the other end, Captain Zhang remained silent for a moment.
He asked, "Where are you now?"
"At the entrance of your workplace," Gu Yao replied.
There was silence on the other end again, then a moment later, the voice rang out again: "Okay, wait for me, I'll be right there."
Before Gu Yao could say anything more, Captain Zhang hung up the phone.
Just as Zhou Chunhua was about to speak, she saw Gu Yao staring blankly at his phone.
"What's wrong?" she asked cautiously.
Coming to his senses, Gu Yao shook his head and casually placed his phone aside.
Zhou Chunhua could tell that Gu Yao was behaving strangely.
After waiting for about twenty minutes, Captain Zhang, dressed in plainclothes, appeared in front of them.
Captain Zhang then led them inside.
On the way, Captain Zhang said, "Don't worry, Attorney Gu, I'll take the men there right away."
Gu Yao snorted coldly and remained silent.
Subsequently, Captain Zhang arranged for members of the special task force to take statements from both her and Gu Yao.
To be precise, her statement was taken in separate rooms from Gu Yao's.
The enclosed space and dim lighting resembled a scene from a police and gangster movie.
Zhou Chunhua looked puzzled. Why did she feel like they were treating her like a criminal?
As for Captain Zhang, he disappeared after leading them inside.
By the time the statement was taken, it was already dawn.
Nini had fallen asleep on the chair next to her at some point.
Gu Yao took off his coat and gently covered Nini with it.
"Nowhere is safe tonight except here. You'll just have to make do for now. If you're sleepy, you can close your eyes and try to sleep for a while."
How could Zhou Chunhua possibly sleep?
This is the first time in my life I've experienced something so exciting, my adrenaline is still soaring.
She turned to look at Gu Yao and finally asked the question that had been bothering her.
"Why didn't you call the police first, but instead contacted Captain Zhang? Actually, when you called earlier, I already felt that this was a bit unreasonable."
After all, while those people were busy rescuing their accomplices, it was the perfect opportunity to wipe them all out! But you didn't call the police immediately, and you wouldn't let me either.
Instead, they drove here to find Captain Zhang. It just doesn't seem right.
Gu Yao looked down and fiddled with his phone: "That's strange!"
"What do you mean?" Zhou Chunhua asked, confused.
Gu Yao put down his phone, leaned over, and whispered, "Whether we call the police or not, the outcome will be the same. I just want to use this to confirm whether Captain Zhang is someone I can trust."
Zhou Chunhua's pupils trembled.
She looked at Gu Yao in disbelief.
What does Gu Yao mean by this? Does he mean that Captain Zhang of the special task force is the mole?
Suddenly, Zhou Chunhua seemed to have figured out all the doubts in her heart.
He concealed the original bill of exchange not only to protect the crucial evidence that Chen Xue had risked her life for, but also to protect Chen Xue's younger brother, Chen Deming.
Gu Yao's statement that reporting to the police or not would have the same result meant that no one would catch those people.
As her thoughts deepened, Zhou Chunhua gasped.
A terrible thought plunged her into an icy abyss.
"You mean, if Zhang Jingtian brings his men there, they definitely won't catch anyone. But as long as there's a crime scene and a case is filed, then at least Zhang Jingtian can be trusted?"
Conversely, if even a case cannot be filed... then let's be frank: Zhang Jingtian is either an inside man or one of the inside men!
"I've always said you're very talented. How about you consider going back to school? I can be your teacher." Gu Yao's lips curled up, his face full of anticipation.
Zhou Chunhua, whose whole body was ice-cold, couldn't smile at all.
She thought, if even Captain Zhang can't be trusted, then wouldn't it be very dangerous for them to be here?
She couldn't help but swallow.
Right there, Zhang Jingtian's car appeared outside the gate...
