"What's wrong?" Zhou Rang's voice was hoarse. Seeing that Wang Yong didn't answer, he forced himself to ask again.
Wang Yong lowered his brows and muttered after a while, "Something happened in Shanghai too, but he was the only one arrested."
Hearing this, Zhou Rang was struck by lightning. He hammered the bed twice with his hands, his breathing becoming heavier. He forced himself to calm down and said to Wang Yong, "I remember there's a train back to Shanghai tonight. Book a ticket. I want to go back to Hangzhou."
"But, Brother Rang, you're injured." Wang Yong raised his head in shock and looked worriedly at Zhou Rang who was half lying on the bed. It was obvious that he didn't agree.
"Book the ticket." Zhou Rang gritted his teeth and sat up from the bed. He reached into the bedside drawer, took out his ID, and handed it to Wang Yong.
Wang Yong wanted to say something, but he couldn't resist Zhou Rang's insistence, so he finally took his ID and left as he instructed.
After Wang Yong left, Zhou Rang fell into a coma again. His mind was clear, but he could not move. In a trance, he felt a burning pain and itching from the wound on his waist and abdomen.
But the pain only lasted for a while and then stopped. Then his whole body began to feel warm and comfortable, so comfortable that he didn't want to wake up.
After Wang Yong bought his ticket and returned to Wutong Street, he saw Zhou Rang still lying motionless on the bed. He thought he was resting and since there was still some time before the train departed, he did not call him.
After taking a look around, he saw a suitcase in the corner. In order to let Zhou Rang sleep a little longer, Wang Yong helped to pack the suitcase since he had nothing to do.
When he opened the wardrobe, he found that most of it was girls' clothes. Wang Yong couldn't help but curl his lips.
Thinking back to the time after the "kidnapping incident", Zhou Rang had asked him to buy a bunch of south-style girls' clothes. After sighing that he really loved his sister-in-law, he packed all of Zhou Rang's clothes into his suitcase, not even leaving out his underwear.
After packing up his luggage, Wang Yong put all the medicines Zhou Rang had just used to treat his wounds into a bag and put it into the suitcase.
After looking around, he simply cleaned every corner of the house and threw away the uneaten dishes in the kitchen. They would rot if no one ate them, and leaving them there would attract insects.
After finishing all this, it was not long before departure, so Wang Yong prepared to wake Zhou Rang up. Before he could get close to the bed, Zhou Rang woke up and sat up.
"Brother, you're awake. Let's go quickly. We're running out of time. I'll pack your luggage for you." Wang Yong pointed to the suitcase beside him.
Zhou Rang rubbed his forehead and subconsciously touched the wound on his waist and abdomen. At this time, he had no feeling there, not even a trace of pain, as if everything he had experienced before was just an illusory dream.
"Yeah." There was no time to think so much at the moment. Zhou Rang tidied up the clothes on Tu's body, picked up the box next to him and walked out.
After arriving at the train station and passing through security, Zhou Rang was about to head to the waiting hall when he paused. He saw a large number of police officers not far away checking whether an adult man had any injuries on his waist. The scene was very loud.
Seeing this, Zhou Rang subconsciously lowered his head and was about to leave the station when he heard a staff member behind him stop a man who insisted on leaving the station.
"I left my stuff at home and I want to go out. Why don't you let me go?" The man looked excited. As he spoke, he tried to push away the staff who tried to stop him and ran outside.
"Please cooperate, comrade. Once the inspection is complete, you will be released." The staff member pressed the alarm in his hand, and the shrill sound echoed throughout the security check area.
Seeing this, the man became even more agitated. He slapped the staff member in the face, picked up his bag and rushed outside. However, he had not run a few meters before he was tackled to the ground by the nimble police who rushed over and held his hands and feet tightly.
"Help! The police are beating civilians." The man wailed in pain and struggled desperately to break free, but it was obviously futile.
The officer holding him down raised his head, a sinister look in his eyes, and shouted at his colleague who was a step behind him: "What are you standing there for? Handcuff me."
The colleague was startled by his look, swallowed hard, and handed over the handcuffs at his waist.
Zhou Rang paused as he watched the scene unfold before him. He put on the wide brim of his coat and tried to leave in another direction. However, just as he turned around, he heard a cold voice behind him: "Stop."
Hearing this, Zhou Rang pretended nothing happened and continued walking forward, but after a few steps, a policeman appeared in front of him and blocked his way.
Then, there was the sound of shoes stepping on the ground behind him, and a big hand pressed down on his shoulder.
"Comrade, please cooperate with our work."
Zhou Rang tightened his grip on the suitcase and turned around without a word. He met the gaze of the police officer who was holding his shoulder. A hint of surprise flashed in the officer's eyes, and he raised his voice and called out, "Zhou Zhiqing?"
The policeman was Chen Mu.
"Public Security Officer Shen." Zhou Rang raised the corners of his lips slightly and nodded in greeting.
Seeing that the two knew each other, the other policemen did not step forward to interfere. Instead, they turned around and arrested the man who had tried to escape, lifting his shirt. However, surprisingly, he had no wounds on his body.
"You're not injured, why are you running?" A policeman pulled off the corner of the man's clothes with force and spat angrily.
Seeing this, the man rolled his eyes and quickly begged for mercy, "Oh, I was too nervous. I forgot something very important at home, and I was in a hurry to catch the bus, so I couldn't help but do something wrong. It's all my fault. Can I go now?"
"Okay, let's go."
"Wait." Chen Mu turned around and looked at the sweaty man, narrowing his eyes: "Catch him back and interrogate him carefully. There must be something we can investigate on him."
"You can't arrest people randomly, you can't, I'm just an ordinary citizen." The man struggled as if facing a great enemy, trying to break free from the handcuffs.
"You feel guilty when you see the police. If you were an ordinary citizen, you would have cooperated with the inspection a long time ago." Chen Mu gave a look to his colleague next to him, and the other party snatched the bag that the man had been holding tightly in his hand and opened it directly regardless of his roar.
After a while, he found a large sum of cash in it, and the whole bag was full of money.
"Holy crap." People at the scene kept exclaiming in surprise. After all, most people nowadays are poor, and no one has ever seen so much money. For a moment, they couldn't help but want to move forward and almost caused chaos.
"Take the man back to the city." Chen Mu frowned and made the decision.
"yes."
After the scene returned to calm, Chen Mu turned his gaze back to Zhou Rang. He caught a glimpse of the suitcase in his hand and raised an eyebrow, asking, "Zhou Zhiqing, where are you going?"
But he remembered that as an educated youth, he could not leave the countryside unless necessary.
Zhou Rang remained calm in the face of danger. Instead, he smiled and said lazily, "I'm no longer an educated youth. I work at the Agricultural Bureau now. Something happened back home, so I came back to check it out."
"I see, but Zhou Zhiqing's expression doesn't look too good, like..." Chen Mu nodded first, then stared meaningfully at Zhou Rang's pale face under the brim of his hat, and stretched out his voice.
"Looks like he's seriously injured?"
