Unexpectedly, this was an extended expressway leading directly from Zhang Xiuxiu's residence to the garage. It seems that someone was waiting for Zhang Xiuxiu in the garage.
"Is someone with her?" Leng Yue asked Ling.
"Hmm, you seem somewhat familiar with him." Zero's voice carried a mischievous chuckle. "You'd never guess it's Wang Shengli."
"Wang Shengli?" Leng Yue paused. "Still alive?"
After joining the superpowered group, Leng Yue learned that Wang Shengli had a criminal record, including robbery and sexual assault, targeting single women walking alone at night, as well as young girls. He had committed many crimes and was a repeat offender.
However, after Leng Yue, he disappeared without a trace. Because his disappearance was so complete, Leng Yue once thought that he had been silenced by Zhang Xiuxiu.
“Of course, he’s not just alive. You definitely wouldn’t recognize him now.” Zero directly pulled up a photo of Wang Shengli. “Look, this is him.”
"This is... Wang Shengli?" Leng Yue was completely stunned. "This handsome young man, is it really him?"
Wang Shengli and Leng Yue vaguely remembered him as an ordinary man, even somewhat sleazy. But the man in this photo was dressed fashionably and handsomely, though it felt a little strange. However, he truly bore no resemblance to the man in the previous photo.
"Of course, he's ruthless to himself too. After you dealt with him, he was terrified. So he went abroad and had all sorts of surgeries done, like shaving his bones and cutting his flesh. He's had about a hundred surgeries in total." With a tap of her hand, Ling Xiao produced a series of information, which she then selectively told Leng Yue.
Leng Yue was so engrossed in listening that she didn't even notice her colleagues talking or Yao Yuan calling her name. It wasn't until someone pushed her that she was thrown aside by reflex.
With a thud, a person landed on the ground, followed by a chorus of cries, "Ouch, Comrade Leng Yue, what are you doing? Ouch, that hurts so much!"
Leng Yue whispered "Oh no!" to Ling, then rushed over to help her up, and then apologized profusely, "I'm so sorry, I was lost in thought!"
Fortunately, the other person was a young man who held his waist and waved his hand, saying, "It's okay, it's not a big problem. I'll be fine after resting for a couple of days."
Hearing the commotion from the other end, Yao Yuan was startled and shouted, "Leng Yue, Leng Yue? Are you alright? What happened?"
Upon hearing Yao Yuan call her by her full name, Leng Yue knew he was worried. She quickly explained, "It's alright, Captain, it was a misunderstanding. I'm almost there with the clues!" Then, Leng Yue reported to Yao Yuan about the passage in Zhang Xiuxiu's room and the fact that someone was there to meet her.
"Keep in touch, don't be reckless." Yao Yuan said, then seemed a little hesitant. After a moment of silence on the other end of the line, he added, "Be careful, don't accidentally hurt your colleagues..."
Leng Yue: "...Okay."
After Ling Deng finished speaking, he couldn't help but praise Leng Yue, "Yueyue, your reaction is amazing now! The training you've received over the past few years is more effective than all the training you've received in other worlds combined!"
"Alright, stop joking. Where did the female lead go?" Leng Yue knew this wasn't the time to banter with Ling.
Zero checked the female lead's route and found that she had indeed gone to the airport.
"No way, we haven't seen our colleagues at the airport yet." Leng Yue thought for a moment and then asked, "Did you go with Wang Shengli?"
Before anyone could respond, Yao Yuan sent another message, instructing everyone to head to the airport.
"Did Zhang Xiuxiu really go to the airport?" Leng Yue was still suspicious. For some reason, she always felt that Zhang Xiuxiu had a backup plan.
“Yes, the boss said he saw a man driving with Zhang Xiuxiu on the Qinghe Expressway. They were smart enough not to take the road closest to the airport. They started circling around the city center, driving against the flow of traffic, and then turned onto the Qinghe Expressway at the Dongxing intersection. If it weren't for the large amount of surveillance footage, we wouldn't have found them!” Yao Yuan was very excited. “Let's hurry, we need to catch up with our target.”
Leng Yue and the other two followed the car from afar, but Leng Yue couldn't help but feel suspicious. Zero hadn't sent any more messages, and Leng Yue didn't know if he hadn't been found or if something had happened to him again.
"Zero, what's the result?" Leng Yue couldn't help but urge them, because once they got on the highway, they would have to drive all the way to the river mouth to get off. The time wasted in between couldn't be ignored.
"Yueyue, it's strange, I feel like the person with Wang Shengli isn't Zhang Xiuxiu!" Ling hesitated for a long time before finally speaking.
"If it's not Zhang Xiuxiu, then who is it? Does Zhang Xiuxiu have sisters? No!" Leng Yue clapped her hands. "I know, she had plastic surgery too, right?"
"Where is the real Zhang Xiuxiu? Did she escape beforehand? No, my colleagues have been keeping a close eye on her lately, there's no way she could have escaped beforehand. So where could she be? Where could she be?" Leng Yue sat in the passenger seat, constantly thinking.
Seeing Yao Yuan's car enter Dongxing Road, and soon they would reach the highway entrance, Leng Yue was extremely anxious, constantly recalling what she had seen and heard in Zhang Xiuxiu's room.
Now that I think about it carefully, that house doesn't look like anyone has ever lived there. In other words, Zhang Xiuxiu probably didn't live there at all. But her colleague said that Zhang Xiuxiu had been living there for a long time.
If the colleague is not mistaken, and Zhang Xiuxiu does not actually live here, then all of this is worth examining.
But did someone really get plastic surgery to look like Zhang Xiuxiu and become her stand-in?
"Yueyue, I knew something was off. Look at this, and you'll see what's strange!" Ling said, sending Leng Yue a video.
The video shows Zhang Xiuxiu and Wang Shengli. Wang Shengli is driving, and Zhang Xiuxiu is in the passenger seat. Their intimate behavior makes them appear like a real couple to anyone unaware of the situation.
In the video, Zhang Xiuxiu pats Wang Shengli's head, and Wang Shengli looks at her affectionately. This interaction is exactly like that between a young couple.
If it were Zhang Xiuxiu, firstly, she knew Wang Shengli's background perfectly well and had plenty of eligible men around her. Even if she wasn't with Song Jingci, there was no need for her to flirt with Wang Shengli. Secondly, the girl in the video was genuinely in love. Could someone as heartless as Zhang Xiuxiu possibly understand what love is? It seems impossible.
"Captain, that's really not Zhang Xiuxiu, we've chased the wrong person!" Leng Yue shouted, causing everyone to turn around and return to Zhang Xiuxiu's original residence to make the arrest.
Yao Yuan naturally disagreed, "Leng Yue, we have carefully considered this operation. Don't give orders blindly."
“I really didn’t make this up, it really wasn’t her up ahead. Oh dear, there’s no time to explain, Captain, just one question, do you believe me or not?” Leng Yue didn’t wait for Yao Yuan’s reply, and turned to her colleague who was driving, saying, “Our team will listen to me, nod now, and head straight for Taoyuan Residential Area.”
The colleague driving looked a little embarrassed and asked Leng Yue, "Isn't this inappropriate?"
"Don't make me resort to force!" Leng Yue threatened in a low voice. "Don't worry, the good deeds go to everyone, and the mistakes are my own responsibility, and have nothing to do with you!"
The colleague driving couldn't get a pass, so he had to make a U-turn where he could nod.
Yao Yuan was furious and shouted loudly, but he had already entered the highway. Looking back at Leng Yue driving in the opposite direction, he felt helpless.
