Chapter 114
Boss Niu sat up, clutching his neck. "Ouch... I feel dizzy... That bastard stabbed me with a needle..."
Chen He supported his arm: "Zhuangzhuang, can you stand up? Let's leave here first..."
The two men, each holding one side, carried Boss Niu out of the back door of the workshop.
Boss Niu swayed his steps and hummed as he walked, "There's too much gasoline in the workshop... It's too dangerous... We can't stay in the yard either, let's go further away..."
The two men helped him out of the backyard, through the narrow path and across the road, and finally sat down under the big locust tree before he felt safe.
Boss Niu leaned against the tree trunk, took a breath, and raised a hand towards Song Zhou: "Hey, you..."
Song Zhou turned his back and retreated into the shadow of the tree trunk.
"Hey, why is this guy ignoring me?" Boss Niu complained, turning to ask Chen He on the other side, "Ni'er, who is this guy?"
"My boyfriend, Song Zhou."
Chen He changed her position and moved closer to Song Zhou, blocking Boss Niu's line of sight.
"So he's your boyfriend? He's too introverted and doesn't talk much, haha. Oh, you're all greasy..." Boss Niu complained, pulling at the wet corner of his clothes.
He probably didn’t recognize her—Chen He breathed a sigh of relief.
Indeed, the mechanic back then and Dr. Song now had changed so much. Plus, it was pitch dark, so Boss Niu definitely wouldn't have recognized him.
She noticed the cut at the corner of Song Zhou's mouth and said with concern, "Oh, the skin is broken." She reached out to touch his face.
Song Zhou subconsciously hid and turned his face to the other side.
In the past, if Chen He had just extended her hand, he would have offered his face. This kind of evasive action would never have happened before.
Chen He's hand froze in mid-air.
A thin layer of ice seemed to form in the air in an instant.
A light breeze blew past on the early winter night, and Chen He shivered.
Song Zhou seemed to wake up from sleepwalking, and immediately put his arm around her shoulders: "Why are you wearing so little? Are you cold?"
"It's so cold." Chen He took the opportunity to hug the evasive guy tightly.
Want to hide? No way.
Song Zhou wanted to take off his jacket and give it to her, but found that the black jacket was soaked with gasoline.
Boss Niu suddenly came over.
Chen He was startled and quickly pushed Song Zhou's head onto her shoulder to hide his face.
"Ugh..." Boss Niu looked at the scene with disdain. "Hey, can you two stop being so busy with your romance? If anyone has a cell phone, call the police first."
"No need to report, it's time to arrive." Chen He said.
Before he could finish his words, several police cars suddenly came speeding from the end of the road.
Boss Niu was stunned: "Ni, you're amazing! How come you can even tell fortunes?"
Chen He smiled and took out his cell phone to take a look.
On the screen, a stopwatch is ticking.

More than half an hour ago, Zhang You knocked on the door of the hotel room, but Teacher Chen was gone. There was only a waitress wearing Chen He's clothes.
She opened her innocent eyes and said:
"That young lady asked me to cooperate with the police and lend her the clothes. What's wrong with you, officer? Am I not cooperating well enough?"
Zhang You is going crazy.
This waiter was personally selected by the police from the hotel staff and was specifically responsible for Chen He's room service.
Not long ago, Chen He said that the bedding was dirty and asked for new ones. Zhang You didn't think anything of it and called the waiter over.
After a while, the "waiter" left the room wearing a mask and holding a pile of bed sheets and quilts that just covered his head and face.
Zhang You was standing opposite with his eyes wide open, but he didn't notice that the person had changed.
In addition to Zhang You, there were several rooms with open doors from the door of Chen He's room to the elevator. The policemen inside stared at him like searchlights. There were also plainclothes officers downstairs, but no one noticed the flaw.
Teacher Chen had undoubtedly just learned this camouflage skill from Zhou Zhengzheng.
Talented people learn things quickly.
Zhang You couldn't understand why Chen He left without permission, where she went, and whether she was in danger.
On the other end of the phone, Chang Ting was almost going crazy, his roar breaking through the microphone: "Go check the surveillance immediately and see her... What's that sound?"
Zhang You also heard the beeping sound and looked up: "What's going on?"
The waiter turned off the alarm on his phone. "The lady told me to set the alarm for 10 minutes. When the time is up, my mission will be over. The police will rush to the Qingde Auto Repair Shop to meet her and rescue Dr. Song who was kidnapped by the suspect."
Zhang You was stunned for a moment, then he jumped up and rushed out the door.
…
Before leaving the hotel, Chen He carefully calculated the time.
She knew that the Qingde Auto Repair Shop must be a trap and the police had to be let in.
But she had to arrive earlier than the police so that there would be room for maneuver if anything happened.
It takes 20 minutes to get to the auto repair shop by taxi.
The police car must be fast and will arrive in 15 minutes.
So when she left the room in disguise, she asked the waiter to set an alarm for 10 minutes and then report it to the police.
This way the police car will depart 10 minutes later than yours.
I can arrive 5 minutes earlier than the police.
5 minutes should be enough.
After getting on the online car-hailing service, she said, "Master, I have something urgent to do."
The driver drove as fast as possible before breaking the law. In fact, she arrived a little earlier than expected and caught up with Song Zhou beating up Xing Yao...
Several police cars slammed on the brakes in front of the big locust tree.
Chen He turned off the stopwatch on his phone.
The answer came out: the police car arrived 8 minutes and 3 seconds later than him.
The corners of her mouth curved into a triumphant arc.
Zhang You jumped out of the car and saw Chen He first. He was so excited that tears came to his eyes.
"Teacher Chen!"
He choked out a sob from the bottom of his heart and rushed forward.
A black shadow blocked his way like a gust of wind.
It almost triggered an instinctive reaction from police combat training. Zhang You used all his moves and saw the other person's face clearly.
He was shocked and said, "Doctor Song? You've escaped?"
Chen He quickly stepped between the two of them and said, "Officer Zhang, this is what's going on."
She shielded Song Zhou behind her without leaving any trace: "Xing Yao kidnapped Song Zhou, took him hostage to the auto repair shop, and attacked Boss Niu.
"Xing Yao used Song Zhou's phone and sent me a message pretending to be him, asking me to come here alone..."
She quickly waved her phone in front of Zhang You and said, "Love makes people blind. I am no exception and fell for his trick.
"I didn't dare tell you directly. If Xing Yao found out, it would anger him and put Song Zhou in even greater danger. But I also felt that leaving without permission would be too uncooperative with your work, so I compromised.
"I decided to come over first, and asked the waiter to tell you to come over later.
"This is all my fault for acting on my own initiative. Don't worry, Officer Zhang. I will explain to Chang Ting later. It's all my fault. You have nothing to do with it."
She spoke so quickly, and her words contained so much information that Zhang You couldn't process it all at once. However, he managed to grasp the key points:
"Wait, Teacher Chen, are you saying Xing Yao is here?"
"Inside the auto repair shop, Song Zhou knocked him down—it was self-defense, get it straight.
"There's gasoline all over the floor inside, so be careful when you go in."
Chen He said, pointing in the direction of the auto repair shop...
As if some magic had been activated, with a loud bang...
Huge flames and white smoke rose into the sky. The blast blew the steel tile roof of the workshop into the air. A row of police cars were blown up on the spot, and the car windows exploded. The people could not stand and were all knocked to the ground by the blast.
The auto repair shop exploded.
