Two police cars roared up and stopped in front of the Second Paris.
The doors of the cars opened at the same time, and eight uniformed policemen got out and gathered around a middle-aged man.
Shen Jun strode over to them.
The middle-aged man was Captain Chen, who Shen Jun had mentioned, His name was Chen Guojun, and he was the police captain of this precinct.
"Hi, Captain Chen," Shen Jun greeted Chen Guojun.
Chen Guojun nodded politely and respectfully asked, "Young Master Shen, how's the former director these days? I haven't seen him for a while and I miss him."
"My dad is fine. He's just a little bored because he's retired and has nothing to do," Shen Jun replied. "The day before yesterday, he talked about you with me. He said he wanted to recommend you to the superior. You know, my dad's retired, but his connections remain. What's more, my uncle is still in the munic.i.p.al party committee. You can rest a.s.sured that my dad is nostalgic and he will never forget you."
Chen Guojun's face immediately lit up. "Without the former director, here would be no me. Young Master Shen, your business is my business." Then he changed the subject and asked, "By the way, where is the guy you mentioned? Who did he hurt?"
Yang Hai immediately replied, "Captain Chen, it was me, he hurt me. It didn't happen this evening, but I have physical examination reports and witnesses."
"This is my best friend," Shen Jun introduced. "The guy who hit him is Ning Tao, and he's in the restaurant right now."
Chen Guojun snorted, "How dare he has western food here when he has hurt someone? I'll see who's on the high horse! Come on, let's go into the restaurant and handcuff him!"
Just then Ning Tao and Lin Qingyu walked out of the restaurant.
Tian Mengjiao had sharp eyes and saw them first. "That's him!" She exclaimed, pointing excitedly at Ning Tao.
With a wave of Chen Guojun's hand, eight policemen rush toward Ning Tao and Lin Qingyu, and soon surrounded them.
Lin Qingyu, who was chatting happily with Ning Tao, was shocked. "What's the matter? What... what are you going to do?"
"What's the matter?" Chen Guojun walked up to Ning Tao and Lin Qingyu, looked at Ning Tao coldly and asked, "You're Ning Tao, right?"
Ning Tao nodded and replied, "Yes, I'm Ning Tao. What do you want?"
"What do I want?" Chen Guojun made a wry smile and replied, "You once hurt someone, which is a criminal matter, so I'm going to take you to the police station to investigate!"
A cop took off the handcuffs and came up to Ning Tao and handcuffed his wrists without hesitation.
Ning Tao remained calm and didn't even defend himself.
Lin Qingyu got worried. "You must be mistaken. Doctor Ning is not a criminal. How can you arrest someone without investigating? By the way, what about the arrest warrant? Take it out and show me!"
"Who do you think you are?" Snapped Chen Guojun. "Do you think I'll show you the warrant when you want to see it? I warn you, if you continue to importunate me, I shall accuse you of hindering business, and arrest you with him!"
"This is an abuse of public power!" Lin Qingyu was furious.
"Take him away!" Ordered Chen Guojun indifferently.
The policeman, who handcuffed Ning Tao, gave him a push and shouted, "Go! You'd better behave yourself, or you'll suffer later!"
Ning Tao didn't resist and he walked over to a police car.
Shen Jun, Yang Hai, Liang Ting and Tian Mengjiao gloated over his misfortune in his path, waiting for him to walk past them.
"Ning Tao, I said you'd be sorry for what you did to me," Yang Hai cried with a broad smile. "I also said I would make you double what you owe me. Wait for your prison life!"
Ning Tao paused next to Yang Hai with a smile on his face. "When did you say that? Why don't I remember? All I remember is your fair-sounding screams."
"You!" Yang Hai was choked with anger. He couldn't believe Ning Tao was still on his high horse by this time!
Shen Jun sneered, "Ning Tao, it seems you don't know what you're facing. I'm in no hurry. I'll come and see you in two hours. I hope you'll be as arrogant then as you are now."
Ning Tao's eyes fell on a Buick commercial car parked on the side of the road.
In the driver's seat of the car, Jiang Hao had just lowered her intercom.
A second later, the door of a Haval H6 parked in the parking lot of the Second Paris suddenly opened and a man trotted toward the group. He had a big belly and ran very hard, and he looked very anxious, as if he was eager to run as fast as Bolt!
At this moment, Chen Guojun strode up behind Ning Tao, slapped him on the back and shouted, "Cut the c.r.a.p! Behave yourself!"
But instead of making Ning Tao move, the slap, as if pushed on a big tree of equal diameter, made his hand hurt!
"How dare you resist me!" Furious, Chen Guojun waved and hit Ning Tao on the back of the head.
"Stop!" Roared the man with a big belly.
When Chen Guojun heard the familiar voice, his fist was about to hit Ning Tao on the back of the head. His hands froze in the air and he looked back. A paunchy man came into view, who was stooping and panting, his hands on his knees, but he was staring at Chen Guojun as if he wanted to kill him!
"Chief... Wu!" Chen Guojun was dumbfounded. "Why are you here?"
The man was Wu Wenbo, a senior superintendent in Shan City police system. He was in that Haval H6 helping Jiang Hao with her mission. Jiang Hao's position was lower than his, but the command from Beidu was by no means for fun, and he had to obey the director from Jiang Hao who had power of command. With such a big thing happening in Shan City, he was on pins and needles. He just wanted to finish the thing and send away Jiang Hao. He did not expect that the first night of the mission, one of his subordinates would cause this trouble!
After finally getting his breath back, Wu Wenbo strode up to Chen Guojun. Then he suddenly reached over, took off Chen Guojun's police cap without a word, and threw it far away.
Chen Guojun's face was blue in a flash. "Chief, Chief Wu, what are you..." He asked in a broken voice.
Shen Jun, Yang Hai, Tian Mengjiao and Liang Ting were all dumbfounded and wondered what was going on.
"Are you asking me what I'm doing?" Wu Wenbo thundered.
Chen Guojun nodded subconsciously.
"Is it your first day as a cop?" Wu Wenbo yelled in a louder voice. "How dare you arrest anyone without a warrant? And! And! And do you know who you're arresting?"
Wu Wenbo's emphasis made Chen Guojun cold in the head. He cast a glance at Ning Tao automatically, but he couldn't imagine what a great person he'd offended.
Ning Tao was actually startled. He did not know the so-called Chief Wu, but the chief came to his rescue. His curiosity about Jiang Hao's ident.i.ty grew stronger, and he began to wonder if she was really just a cop.
"You are arresting my savior!" Wu Wenbo was actually improvising. "Doctor Ning cured my father of years of illness. What a nice man he is! How can you handcuff him indiscriminately?"
"I... I..." Chen Guojun couldn't retort. He turned to look at Yang Hai with hatred, eager to punch him.
"What?" Wu Wenbo reprimanded. "Write tickets on the street tomorrow. If you still do not repent, I'll fire you!"
Immediately, Chen Guojun's spirits sank.
Wu Wenbo went on, "What are you doing standing there? Get his handcuffs off!"
The cops, not daring to delay, immediately removed the handcuffs on Ning Tao's wrists and apologized.
Wu Wenbo went up to Ning Tao, took his hand in both his, and said earnestly, "Miracle Doctor Ning, I'm really sorry to have wronged you. At noon, my father told me he wanted to see you. Why don't you come round for dinner when you're free?"
Ning Tao smiled in coordination and politely replied, "Chief Wu, you're too modest. I'd love to visit your father, too. I'll call on you in a few days."
"I'll ask my wife to make your favorite sweet-and-sour fish," Wu Wenbo stated, all smiles.
"Since when do I like sweet-and-sour fish?" Ning Tao thought, but he replied with a smile, "Okay, thank you."
Wu Wenbo looked at the cops, who still had no idea what was going on at this moment. "What are you still staring at? Go back and write a review!"
Those policemen withdrew more quickly than the others.
Ning Tao walked over to Shen Jun, Yang Hai, Tian Mengjiao and Liang Ting.
The three students looked at Ning Tao with extremely complicated looks in their eyes and mixed emotions. Yang Hai, Liang Ting and Tian Mengjiao were sure they know Ning Tao very well, but they found out that tonight Ning Tao was like a different person. He was no longer the poor student who worked hard to earn money to pay his tuition but a wealthy young master that they simply dare not to afford!
You had changed, man!
Ning Tao stopped walking. "Have you gotten enough, you four? If you have gotten enough, get out of here, or I will continue to play with you," he threatened with a cold look in his eyes.
Shen Jun reddened. Not daring to speak anything, he immediately went away.
Tian Mengjiao ran after him while crying, "Brother Shen Jun, wait for me."
Just then Yang Hai and Liang Ting came back to their minds and dared not even look at Ning Tao again. They turned around, followed Shen Jun and Tian Mengjiao and left.
"I thought you were going to beat them up." Lin Qingyu walked up to Ning Tao and said, "You were kind of scary."
Ning Tao didn't think it was necessary to hit a dude like Shen Jun and Yang Hai or the two vain female cla.s.smates. If he did that, what was the difference between him and Shen Jun and Yang Hai?
"Do you think I'm the one who beat others at will?" Ning Tao asked and laughed.
Lin Qingyu looked at Ning Tao carefully, then shook her head and replied, "No. You look smart in the suit. If you had dressed like this last night, you wouldn't have had such a hard time."
Ning Tao just gave a thin smile. He didn't need the respect that clothes could buy.
Lin Qingyu seemed to feel something and said apologetically, "Actually my father was waiting for Mr. Jiang last night to buy that piece of land. I didn't know it and took you home at that time..."
"Let bygones be bygones. How do we get to your brother's lab?" Ning Tao asked.
Lin Qingyu smiled at Ning Tao and answered, "I'll get the car."
"Then I'll wait for you here," Ning Tao said.
On the roof of a building, a dark figure silently looked down upon Ning Tao standing on the edge of the road. He wore a black robe, and a big bamboo hat, looking like an ancient swordsman, but what he held was not a sword, but a Haagen-Dazs ice cream...
