"Hey, yeah, Anxin said you're sharp, and he really is. Thanks, bro! By the way, that girl's really pretty, is she your girlfriend?"
Yang Jian immediately realized what was happening, his face filled with gratitude. He then looked through the glass doorway at Meng Yu behind the bar and asked curiously.
Tang Ping said, "No, just an ordinary friend."
"Just ordinary friends? Do you have her phone number? Can you give it to me?" Yang Jian asked.
This guy really has his eye on Meng Yu.
In the end, Meng Yu followed Yang Jian in the storm, but now, how could Tang Ping tolerate Yang Jian taking Meng Yu away from him again?
"sure."
Tang Ping smiled and gave a phone number.
Yang Jian took notes on his phone, patted Tang Ping on the shoulder happily, and said, "Thanks, brother. You've found a clue. I'll treat you to dinner!"
"Don't mention it, go ahead and investigate," Tang Ping said with a smile.
Yang Jian left in a hurry. Arcades are places that are easy to investigate, and problems will always be found, especially since Chen Shuting's arcade already had a lot of illegal gray income behind it.
It's good that Yang Jian is investigated; at least the business will have to suspend operations for a period of time for rectification.
After seeing Yang Jian off, Tang Ping got on his motorcycle and took Meng Yu to a roadside food stall.
"What does Yang Jian want with you?" Meng Yu asked curiously while waiting for the food.
"You know him too?"
"I wouldn't say we know each other. Although the anti-drug squad and the criminal investigation squad are not in the same system, we often deal with each other. I've met them a few times."
Tang Ping said, "He asked for your phone number, probably because he wants to pursue you."
"Did you give it to him or not?" Meng Yu asked.
Tang Ping said with a smile, "Of course I gave it to you."
"Really? Look at that smile, I don't believe it," Meng Yu said.
Tang Ping laughed and said, "I really did give it to him, but I gave it to Director Meng."
Meng Yu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Huh? Tang Ping, you're too mean!"
"Haha, who told him to steal my girlfriend right in front of me?"
"Ugh, who's yours?"
Meanwhile, Yang Jian was arranging for his team to infiltrate the arcade. He himself led a team to wait by the roadside. Bored, I took out the number saved in my phone and dialed it: "Hello!"
"Hello, this is Meng Dehai, who is this?"
"Meng Dehai... Holy crap!"
Yang Jiangang immediately realized something was wrong after swearing, quickly hung up the phone, and then looked at the internet cafe across the street with a resentful expression, saying, "Tang Ping, you son of a bitch, you're really nasty!"
That evening, the arcade and video game center were shut down. Although Yang Jian did not find any flour transactions inside, he did seize a batch of gambling machines.
Yang Jian originally planned to follow the clues and interrogate them one by one, but the case was called off early the next morning.
In the director's office, Yang Jian asked with a puzzled look, "No, why? I was almost making progress, why do we have to stop?"
"Someone above has spoken: we must prioritize the overall situation. Right now, the most important thing for Jinghai is to strive for economic development and achieve rapid growth. Yang Jian, I know you're not convinced, but you must remember, you're a policeman, and you must always obey orders and follow commands!"
"knew!"
Yang Jian walked out of the office, looking indignant.
Chen Shuting's arcade and video game center were shut down for only one day, but they immediately reopened for business.
However, Tang Ping no longer cared about any of that. He and Meng Yu had already boarded the green train bound for Kyoto.
I couldn't get a sleeper berth, only a hard seat was left.
After the train started moving, Tang Ping said, "I'm sorry to have troubled you. I'll definitely buy a ticket in advance for the return trip."
Meng Yu didn't mind at all. Sitting by the window, she laughed and said, "What's the big deal? I used to take the train back to Kyoto by myself all the time."
"Won't Lao Meng see you off?" Tang Ping asked.
Meng Yu complained, "He never has time. He's always so busy. Sometimes I don't even get to see him when I come back from my vacation."
"That's pretty bad. By the way, I've never been to Kyoto before, so I don't know what fun places there are."
"There are so many! After we finish our business, I'll show you around."
The two chatted about everything under the sun without getting bored. Tang Ping would find topics to talk about, and each time he could make Meng Yu want to confide in him, such as the strange stories she had encountered when she was a reporter.
As night fell, the carriages quieted down, and the passengers drifted off to sleep. Meng Yu was also getting sleepy. She had been sleeping by the window, but with the swaying of the train, she found herself leaning against Tang Ping's shoulder without realizing it.
Tang Ping was also half asleep, and one of his hands naturally wrapped around Meng Yu's waist. The two of them fell asleep leaning against each other like that.
Around midnight, the train seemed to have stopped at a station. When it started moving again, a heated argument and sounds of fighting broke out at the carriage door.
Tang Ping was jolted awake. Just as he was about to get up to check, several burly men with stockings over their heads rushed into the carriage. They were holding gleaming blades and shouted, "Robbery! Everyone stay in your seats and don't move, or we'll make you pay with your knives!"
The passengers were stunned; they never expected to be robbed while traveling by train.
There were robbers guarding both the front and back carriages, so it was too late to run. No one dared to resist; they all huddled in their seats, trembling with fear.
The leader of the robbers, still holding a hunting rifle, shouted menacingly, "I only want money, not lives. I hope everyone cooperates and hands over all your cash and valuables. If I find them, I don't want money, I want your lives! Understand?"
While he was speaking, his two accomplices had already started robbing people. One of them carried a backpack and asked each passenger to put their money and valuables inside. Those who paid less were searched, and if money was found hidden inside, they were forced to sit down and beaten.
As the target approached, Tang Ping clenched his fists, considering whether or not to make a move.
There were five robbers in total: two blocked the front and rear doors, two collected the money, and the leader was armed and monitoring the entire carriage.
If we really have to take action, we have to deal with the leader first, since he has a gun.
Tang Ping wasn't entirely confident, and he was worried about Meng Yu's safety if he got up and left.
Meng Yu was also a little nervous. She unconsciously took Tang Ping's hand, signaling him not to make any rash moves.
Tang Ping nodded and took out the cash he had on him. Fortunately, he didn't have much cash on him, and he didn't usually wear watches or jewelry. He also had a mobile phone, but it wasn't worth much.
Meng Yu was the same, except she also had a camera.
When it was Tang Ping's turn, the robber took the money, stared at Meng Yu for a few moments, and then left with a lewd smile.
