Chapter 61 The Campus Genius Used as Cannon Fodder (Part 25) "Don't..."
"Don't come any closer! I've already called the police. They'll be here soon. There are cameras everywhere, and your car is so conspicuous. You can't escape!"
Fang Yue saw the perpetrator staring straight at her and was so frightened that she struggled to back away, but because her knee injury was too severe, she couldn't help but hiss in pain.
According to the normal procedure for a car accident, the person at fault should first call the police and then contact the insurance company to prevent being extorted and to facilitate reimbursement. However, this person planned to take her away directly and even tried to assault her, which is clearly abnormal.
Seeing her wince in pain, Nangong Yao paused, and the driver, finally realizing what was happening, quickly got out of the car and pulled her back. "It's raining so hard, you should get in the car first! I'll handle this!"
Seeing that Nangong Yao was only staring at the woman on the ground without making a move, the driver whispered again, "Young Master, we still have important business to attend to. We can't alert the cops right now!"
Seeing that Nangong Yao had come to his senses, he pulled and dragged him back to the car. The situation in China is different from that abroad. In this kind of emergency in the city, the police would probably not even need five minutes to respond.
He deftly took a box from the trunk and placed it on the ground next to Fang Yue. "Madam, we just wanted to take you to the hospital for a check-up. Since you're scared, consider this money as compensation. We have urgent business to attend to, so we can't keep you company for now!"
The driver got into the car, stepped on the gas, and sped off. Not long after, the sound of police sirens could be heard in the distance.
At the police station, Fang Yue changed into a spare uniform from a female police officer and held the instant noodles that the police officer had prepared for her before she finally stopped trembling.
She never expected that the box of so-called compensation the man gave her would contain a whole box of RMB, a full 200,000 yuan.
Fang Yue had never seen so much money in her life. Her savings were indeed a bit more than that, but who would have the time to withdraw so much cash and stuff it into the trunk?
“Although his attitude was problematic at the time, he provided sufficient compensation, so it can’t be considered a hit-and-run. This situation is not easy to investigate,” the policewoman said, trying to calm her down.
Fang Yue quickly shook her head, "No, no, no, it's not about the car accident. I heard the driver say that they had important business to attend to and couldn't alert... the cops."
Fang Yue glanced at the policewoman and said, "I always felt that his way of addressing me was off. He even called that man something like 'Young Master,' and that man's eyes didn't look normal."
Fang Yue had sharp ears; even though the driver's voice was very soft, she still heard it.
"I also took pictures of his license plate number and the car logo, which looked very expensive. I also remember what they looked like!"
The policewoman didn't ignore the information Fang Yue provided just because she was young; she immediately went to her colleagues to check the license plate number she mentioned.
Fang Yue, who was starving, picked up the instant noodles and started eating them in big mouthfuls. The policeman even added a braised egg and a sausage to them for her. She was so touched!
This is absolutely the best instant noodles she has ever eaten in her life!
After showering the police officer with compliments, Fang Yue squatted in a corner and sent a series of messages to her boss, asking for a few days off and sharing her thrilling night and the handover of work for the next few days.
She received a windfall today, so taking a few days off to calm her nerves isn't unreasonable. As for whether it will disturb anyone's sleep, her boss often does that anyway; it's just a case of the superiors influencing the subordinates.
The young police officer next to her, who was a year younger than the policewoman and didn't look much older than Fang Yue, reluctantly accepted the title of "police uncle."
Anyway, it's not the first time. From another perspective, he's a generation older than his female colleagues.
After hanging up the phone with her boss, Fang Yue happily curled up on a bench in the corner of the police station to play games. She was too excited to sleep.
As for the policewoman not returning and the police officer receiving a phone call telling her that she couldn't leave for the time being, Fang Yue didn't mind at all.
She's not stupid; this clearly indicates that the person's identity is questionable. Staying at the police station would be much better; she'd feel incredibly safe there.
The police officer also said that he would accompany her to the bank after dawn to deposit the money. How thoughtful of him!
After a while, the police officer took out a tablet and asked her to identify the vehicles and people. After Fang Yue pointed them out one by one, she became more certain of her guess.
After the bank opened, the police officer led her to deposit the money. Fang Yue looked at her savings, which had almost doubled, and smiled from ear to ear.
The young policeman was about to go back when he saw the girl follow him back to the police station and ask if she could stay there for a few days.
Fang Yue raised her hand and assured, "I feel that man is too dangerous. I'll just hold this corner here and it definitely won't affect your work."
Based on the clues found, the man Fang Yue encountered was indeed not a good person. In the end, she was taken to the female police officer's dormitory, assigned a bed that was temporarily unoccupied, and given a temporary meal card so she could eat in the cafeteria with her.
Fang Yue quickly sneaked home, packed a few changes of clothes and toiletries, and then stayed in her dorm room for a week.
The driver, who was trying to escape, endured Nangong Yao's cold aura and drove for two miles before repeating to himself that he couldn't use guns, kill people, kidnap, or rob people here.
"The cops here are really troublesome. Once they've got their hands on you, they won't let go. They've also set up some kind of 'Skynet' system, with cameras everywhere. You're capable and don't need to be afraid, but there's no need to provoke them. Don't you still have important business to do?"
The driver coaxed and persuaded for a long time until his mouth was dry, and finally, seeing that Nangong Yao was no longer frowning, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Just then, Nangong Yao suddenly spoke, his voice chilling: "Woman, you will never escape my grasp."
The driver choked on his breath and almost choked to death. It took him a long time to catch his breath. If it weren't for the fact that in their line of work, you would get a one-way ticket to hell after quitting, he would have really wanted to quit!
After Shen Zechen woke up, he heard Lin You talk about the heavy rain yesterday and her own guesses. He didn't even bother to wash up before he hurriedly turned on his computer.
After a flurry of activity, Shen Zechen found all the video recordings from the entrances of underground parking lots throughout the city during the early morning rain.
It's great to work for the country, like these videos. Shen Zechen has the authority to access them now, and it won't violate his commitment to abiding by the law.
After some searching, Shen Zechen quickly found a video. The familiar plot began with torrential rain and the chance encounter between the male and female leads. However, with a different female lead, the video ended up being a crime scene.
Fang Yue didn't get into Nangong Yao's car just because he was handsome or his car was nice. Her decisive action of calling the police was praised by Lin You and Shen Zechen.
"That's how a normal girl would react. Wen Yin's brain is definitely not normal." Lin You watched the video while also dubbing the male lead's voice.
It was fine when I read the text, but after watching the video, all I felt when I heard the lines was embarrassment!
"This guy seems to have something wrong with his head too, no wonder the two of them are so in love!" Lin You couldn't help but ask after Shen Zechen stopped investigating, "Shen Zechen, are we just going to ignore what happens next?"
"Just tell the boss, we can't help with the rest," Shen Zechen explained. These were armed terrorists, and the next step would be a real arrest operation. Someone as lazy as him shouldn't cause trouble for others.
Shen Zechen has a fairly accurate understanding of his own combat strength and its importance, and he pays great attention to his own safety.
Considering Zhang Rui and Zhao He'an's security, Shen Zechen has basically avoided crowded places since their arrival.
Shen Zechen used to cook for himself all the time, but with two more people in the family, he switched to buying meals. It's not only unrealistic to expect him to cook three meals a day for three people, but also because he doesn't have the time.
Unlike Shen Zechen's irregular sleep schedule, Zhao He'an and Zhang Rui always get up early and take turns going out for morning runs.
At first, they would buy breakfast for Shen Zechen, but later Zhang Rui felt that eating at home was healthier and more hygienic, so he started cooking at home.
To be honest, although Zhang Rui can only cook some home-style dishes, his skills are quite good. He uses high-quality ingredients and cooks them perfectly, making them taste much better than what you can buy outside.
Zhao He'an is even better at barbecuing. Every now and then, he sets up a grill on the balcony and grills lamb skewers, beef skewers, duck legs, chicken wings, gluten rice cakes, and vegetable sausages. Paired with chilled drinks, the taste is absolutely amazing.
After watching the video, Shen Zechen stretched, washed up, and ate breakfast. He first drank the sweet and soft eight-treasure porridge, then ate a bite of crisp pickled vegetables. On the plate next to him were two tender scallion and egg pancakes.
While eating, Shen Zechen took out his phone to call his boss. After the call was connected, he said "Hello?" and then promptly replied:
"Boss! Help! I'm in big trouble again!"
After shouting, he didn't forget to stuff a piece of egg pancake into his mouth, and while eating, he gave a thumbs up to Zhang Rui, the chef, to express his praise for his cooking skills.
Zhang Rui, who was eating porridge across from him, almost choked on a bean when he was yelled at. He covered his mouth and coughed for a while before he recovered.
Watching Shen Zechen eat while on the phone, enjoying each bite of pancake and porridge without any sign of urgency, I couldn't understand why he suddenly cried for help!
Zhao He'an, who was eating a pancake next to him, was also startled by his shout. He swallowed a big mouthful of pancake and drank more than half a cup of water before he could catch his breath. He and Zhang Rui looked at each other and saw amusement and helplessness in each other's eyes.
Before they arrived, they had been instructed by their superiors that the person they were protecting was young, a bit impulsive, and not very stable, and that they should try to coax and persuade him.
They were both not good with words, and at first they were worried that they wouldn't do well. But after spending a few months together, they didn't feel that Shen Zechen was unreliable in any way.
Looking back now, he does indeed have some of the youthful spirit he once had.
Although Shen Zechen's phone was on speakerphone, he covered his mouth while eating and kept his chewing noises down, so his boss, who was awakened, didn't notice at all.
"Where are you? Are you in danger? Where are your two comrades who are protecting you? Xiaoze, don't panic, hide yourself well, I'll contact the SWAT team right now!"
The boss's voice trembled with fear. This man was the hope of their information security department. He would rather be the one who got into trouble than have anything happen to Shen Zechen.
"Boss, don't get excited. Listen to my instructions, breathe in and out slowly. I'm fine, I'm having breakfast at home." Shen Zechen was startled by his reaction and realized that he had gone a bit too far. He didn't care about being cheeky anymore and immediately explained what he had discovered.
“I found out online that the heir of a foreign criminal gang has come to our area. I have a feeling that he’s probably here for me. I’d like to ask the boss to help me figure this out.”
The boss finally breathed a long sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat from his brow, and, without bothering to reprimand the unruly child, continued to give instructions:
"Don't go to school today. I'll have someone pick you up later. Don't worry about your sister. The organization has already sent people over there, and they will definitely ensure her safety."
Before Shen Zechen could say anything more, his boss had already hung up the phone and gone to find someone. After hearing this, Zhang Rui and Zhao He'an finished their meal in a few bites, cleaned up the kitchen, and then went to help Shen Zechen pack his luggage.
Shen Zechen's words drew the attention of Director Zhou. Regardless of whether they were true or false, they had to be investigated. Moreover, having known Shen Zechen for so long, he had a good understanding of him and knew he wasn't the kind of person who spoke carelessly.
Shen Zechen was about to help pack his things, but the two of them stopped him. Zhang Rui even advised him, "You should eat properly. Judging from Director Zhou's attitude, someone will probably be here soon."
"So your clever bald boss's surname is Zhou, Shen Zechen. After we leave, will we ever have a chance to come back?" Lin You sighed somewhat dejectedly, feeling a little reluctant to leave the room that Shen Zechen had prepared for her.
"I can come back for a visit, but I'm afraid I won't stay there permanently." He paid a year's rent for this house.
Shen Zechen quickly finished his meal. He figured he was probably going to some kind of secret base. Bringing luggage was fine, but bringing a bunch of pets was a bit unrealistic. He'd better find them a good place to go.
Shen Zechen stroked the three furry dogs at home. Mango had grown a bit and looked about the same size as Orange, but it still liked to follow Orange around.
Snowy is just an ordinary rabbit, but she is very smart and can understand many commands, almost matching the intelligence of an average dog.
Orange hasn't changed much; it still has that domineering personality. Since this place is very close to the school, it goes back to the school every day to patrol its territory. No one at the school has even noticed that Orange has been adopted.
Shen Zechen patted Chengzi's head and explained the situation. With its intelligence, Chengzi could understand what Shen Zechen was saying.
The orange cat rubbed affectionately against his hand and meowed twice. Shen Zechen understood that it was saying not to worry, that it could take care of itself.
"I'll have someone bring you food and canned goods every day. You shouldn't get into so many fights anymore; what if you get hurt?" Shen Zechen instructed.
Orange let out a very domineering meow, as if to say, "I never get hurt in fights!"
"Alright, I know you're the best. You still need to be careful. I don't lock the balcony window here. You can come back and stay if you want. You know where the snacks and food are."
Orange nodded. Shen Zechen used the Beast Taming Technique on it again. The taming days from the Beast Taming Technique can only be overwritten and cannot be stacked, but using the Beast Taming Technique is beneficial to them.
A system notification suddenly sounded, and Shen Zechen was stunned for a while before opening the cheat page at Lin You's prompting.
On the data page, the nameless cat that was originally at level six taming and had six months remaining to tame quickly had its information updated.
The taming level is 10, the time limit is one year and two months, and the exclusive information has also been updated.
[Type: Domestic Cat]
Name: Orange
Special skill: Speed
Talent: Unrivaled in the world
In summary: It will boast about being the leader of the family to everyone, and if any other cats disagree, it will beat it until it submits, thus helping its owner tame other cats.
Shen Zechen was dumbfounded. He never expected that Chengzi, who usually seemed so carefree and easygoing, was actually a street thug!
Lin You stared at it for a while before saying, "Can this skill really help tame other cats? I feel like it might attract more hatred than anything else."
Although he has a somewhat domineering personality, it's always better for your own child to beat up others than to get beaten up yourself. Once you accept this premise, you'll always get the illusion that Orange has an overbearing aura.
Orange meowed twice at Shen Zechen, then darted off from the balcony. Shen Zechen's rented apartment was on the second floor, and Orange moved like lightning, leaping onto the opposite fence in the blink of an eye. After a few jumps, it disappeared into the green belt.
When Beibei came to play last time, Mango liked to follow Beibei. Liu Zhenzhen also really likes pets. Ding Jie is one of their own, so Shen Zechen decided to entrust it to Ding Jie and Liu Zhenzhen.
The two naturally agreed. Liu Zhenzhen was a pet blogger, so having more smart and adorable pets would be the best thing ever.
Ding Jie naturally had no objections. He only vaguely felt that something was wrong. The dormitory staff had a basic understanding of Shen Zechen's family situation, so there was no possibility of him suddenly returning to his hometown.
What could have happened that made him leave in such a hurry?
Liu Zhenzhen was in the neighborhood. When she and Ding Jie brought Beibei to pick up Mango, Shen Zechen also gave them the keys to the pet shop.
“I have to leave due to urgent business and will no longer be able to open a pet shop. Ding Jie, please help me with the transfer fee, this amount is fine.”
Liu Zhenzhen looked at the number he wrote down, hesitated, and then stopped. She knew this number; it was the transfer fee when Shen Zechen took over the pet shop. The previous owner had advertised it in the neighborhood when he transferred it.
But now the pet store is famous, and many people come to take photos every day. The store has been renovated, and there are many more snacks on the shelves. The transfer fee would probably triple, and there would be plenty of people willing to take it over.
Seeing the mess in the room, which looked like he was about to leave in a hurry, Ding Jie, carrying a bunch of snacks and toys, didn't say anything, only wishing him well.
Seeing that he was suspicious, Shen Zechen reached out and patted his shoulder, reassuring him, "Don't worry, it's not a big problem."
Ding Jie nodded, but whether he believed it or not was unknown.
Mango was still young and didn't understand what separation meant. She happily followed Beibei away. Beibei, on the other hand, understood Shen Zechen's words. She reluctantly went over and rubbed against him before turning back.
Ever since it learned that Shen Zechen was leaving, the rabbit Snowy had stayed by his side without leaving him for a moment. Whenever Shen Zechen stopped, it would squat down at his feet and not move.
