âGo where?â
Chu Tong took a deep breath as she got into the car, turning to look at Ye Xiaofei.
âYou think?â Ye Xiaofei narrowed his eyes, enjoying Chu Tongâs conflicted expression, though she tried to appear indifferent.
âGot it.â
Chu Tong turned her head and started driving. After more than ten minutes, she parked the car in front of a hotel.
âWhy did you bring me to a hotel?â
Chu Tong frowned at Ye Xiaofei in annoyance.
âOf course forâ¦â Chu Tong gave Ye Xiaofei a stern look.
Ye Xiaofei responded with the same coldness, âCanât you think of anything normal? I want to go to the place where those two guys were last seen.â
âAhâ¦â Chu Tong was stunned, then immediately excited, âYou mean we continue investigating this case?â
Ye Xiaofei said, âI just want to have a look, see if we can find some clues. Itâs just trying our luck.â
âGreat!â Chu Tong agreed, but quickly added, âBut if itâs just the two of us, isnât it too dangerous? After all, those two are very powerful.â
âScared?â Ye Xiaofei raised an eyebrow, taunting her with his words.
Chu Tong stared back directly, saying, âOf course, Iâm not scared, but my life doesnât matter as much as yours. This is about the lives of countless officers in our police force. I have to protect your safety, so I canât take you there.â
âYou sound noble, but they are definitely not there anymore. I just want to go and find some clues that you guys might have missed. Do you really want those two to escape freely?â Ye Xiaofei retorted.
Chu Tong hesitated for a moment and said, âYou do have a point, but you have to promise me that if we encounter them, you must escape immediately. Iâll do whatever it takes to protect you.â
Ye Xiaofei glanced at Chu Tong and chuckled, âHeh, no offense, but youâre really weak.â
âYouâ¦â Chu Tong was about to fire back, but she suddenly remembered the strength Ye Xiaofei had displayed when they arrested the suspect at the restaurant. He was indeed quite powerful.
Moreover, she recalled the first time she met Ye Xiaofei when he had single-handedly beaten up the bodyguards from both the Wang and Tang families, who were known to be formidable.
âRemember how good I am?â Ye Xiaofei blinked, raising his finger to tilt Chu Tongâs chin, and said, âYouâre my little sweetheart; how can 1 bear to let you take risks?â
âYouâ¦â Chu Tong almost slapped Ye Xiaofeiâs hand away, her hand halfway up in the air, but she held back, letting Ye Xiaofei continue to be impudent, and said, âAre you sure you can outmatch them? Do you know how powerful they are?â
âQuite smooth, the feel of your chin is nice.â Ye Xiaofei complimented before adding, âOf course, I know. After seeing the palm injuries on those four men, if I canât make a basic judgment, then Iâm not a skilled doctor.â
Chu Tong assessed Ye Xiaofei up and down and asked, âYou think⦠youâre not weaker than them?â
âOf course,â Ye Xiaofei humphed and said, âDo you think only the person who saved you has enough strength? Let me tell you, I possess the same abilities. Be my lover, and you wonât regret it.â
Chu Tong opened his mouth, then took a deep breath and replied, âAlright, letâs go.â
After Su Zhenhai was kidnapped, the detective team couldnât simply sit idle. They immediately activated the cityâs surveillance system, tracking their movements.
Initially, the car they were following was a clear target. However, once the car entered a run-down neighborhood, it became challenging to determine if they had left the area due to several malfunctioning cameras.
The police quickly arrived at the scene, only to find the abandoned car without any clues, losing the trail of the two individuals.
It was a small truck that seemed to have transported live chickens yesterday, and the entire vehicle reeked of chicken droppings.
On their way to the scene, Chu Tong briefed Ye Xiaofei on all the known information.
Ye Xiaofei just glanced at the open car door and then closed it before walking ahead.
âYou found some clues?â Chu Tong asked, puzzled.
âFollow me,â Ye Xiaofei said, continuing forward.
Chu Tong quickly followed Ye Xiaofei, carefully observing the surroundings, but she couldnât see anything out of the ordinary.
âWhat did you discover?â Chu Tong inquired. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âThe smell, the scent on them,â Ye Xiaofei replied.
âYou can smell that too? Oh, you mean the chicken droppings smell,â Chu Tong suddenly realized, but then shook his head and said, âBut I canât smell anything now.â
Ye Xiaofei rolled her eyes at Chu Tong and retorted, âYou may have a good physique, but you lack brains.â
âYouâ¦â Chu Tong blushed at the remark, feeling indignant, âIsnât that right?â
âOf course not. Iâm looking for the scent of the person who used poison. That kind of smell canât be concealed,â Ye Xiaofei explained.
âSo, youâve become like a bloodhound?â Chu Tong mumbled, feeling a lot better after venting some frustration at this guy..
