With one command, everyone was taken away by the police. Luo Chao calmly followed behind a young police officer. Li Dacheng saw Luo Chao emerge unscathed from the room, excitedly ran over, intending to rush up to Luo Chao, but was stopped by several police officers who said, "You can't approach the suspect!"
"What suspect? Luo Chao is the victim! Are you guys mistaken? I'm an eyewitness, I'm an eyewitness!"
Li Dacheng shouted discontentedly. Su Jinyu, who was initially walking in front, stopped upon hearing Li Dacheng's shouting, turned around and said, "Whoever makes a loud noise again will be taken away and accused of obstructing justice!"
The young police officer blocking Li Dacheng said to him, "You should leave quickly. Otherwise, our boss will really charge you with obstructing justice."
Li Dacheng carelessly replied, "Go ahead, sue me! I want to see if you police officers will be reasonable. In any case, I'm leaving with you all! No one should think of separating me and Luo Chao!"
Luo Chao initially wanted to advise Li Dacheng to head back to school first. Hearing Li Dacheng shout like this was very touching at first, but the last line made him want to kick Li Dacheng, damn it, that's annoying!
The younger officers couldn't handle Li Dacheng, so Luo Chao stepped in to mediate, saying to them, "Dear police officers, just let him come along. Witnesses are needed to record testimonies anyway. Otherwise, his shouting here isn't good for anyone."
The young officers found Luo Chao's words reasonable; they truly had no means to deal with such a stubborn individual. Li Dacheng, pleased to be going to the police station with Luo Chao, happily sidled up to him, giving him a hug. Luo Chao, feeling repulsed by Li Dacheng's clinginess, bumped him aside with his shoulder and cursed, "The hell are you doing? Even women aren't this clingy!"
Li Dacheng wasn't bothered by Luo Chao's actions, clinging tightly to him again, saying, "I thought you were going to die, Luo Chao, scared me to death!"
Luo Chao felt a warmth in his heart. In this unfamiliar city, having a friend who cares about your life or death is nice. Yet unfortunately, he couldn't say anything because they didn't belong to the same world.
A few people were taken down to the ground floor, with Li Haili sent to the hospital by a couple of police officers for treatment. The rest, including Luo Chao, Heilong, and two of Heilong's men, along with the stubborn Li Dacheng who insisted on tagging along, were taken downstairs to ride a police car to the station.
Just as they descended and reached the lobby, Li Dacheng nudged Luo Chao with his elbow, who then looked up and asked, "What?"
Li Dacheng raised his chin towards the lobby entrance. Luo Chao followed his gaze and was startled by what he saw at the door, whispering in surprise, "Why are the special forces here?"
Li Dacheng smiled triumphantly, sidled up to Luo Chao and said, "Isn't it my doing?"
Luo Chao countered, "What credit do you have for this?"
"I called the police, saying there were people with heavy weapons at the Jin Kaiyue hotel, preparing to kill witnesses," Li Dacheng's voice had just fallen when Heilong in front of them shuddered. Damn, a rusty, old handgun is considered heavy weaponry? How should other terrorists feel?
Luo Chao glanced askance at Li Dacheng, unable to understand how his brain worked. It was said Li Dacheng was a top student at Central High School's senior class. With a brain like that, how could he be a top performer? Luo Chao felt a bit disappointed with Central High School.
Li Dacheng looked at the entrance again and then said, "Luo Chao, that fierce woman earlier is talking with some guy in a cheap suit!"
Luo Chao looked up and caught sight of Su Jinyu at the entrance, talking to a tall man, her expression quite impatient. The man had his back to them, but Luo Chao felt a sense of familiarity. Upon hearing Su Jinyu's words, the man stubbed out his cigarette and turned to look in their direction. Luo Chao was startled, quickly lowering his head, and walked over following the young police officers in front of him.
Just as they were about to leave the entrance, a rough, stern voice erupted beside them. Luo Chao heard footsteps in leather shoes approaching, moving closer to Li Dacheng to strategically place others in front of him, hoping they would block his view.
"Are they the suspects?" Ouyang Zhenhua walked up to the group, asking the young officers next to him.
The young officer was startled, looking towards Su Jinyu because she was their superior, but the special forces captain in front of them was also not someone to mess with.
While the young officer hesitated, Su Jinyu walked over, saying, "One of them is an eyewitness."
"I want to take them away," Ouyang Zhenhua's words had just fallen when a few armed subordinates stepped in to take over control of Luo Chao and the others. The presence of the special forces overshadowed that of the young police officers, and they all turned to look at Su Jinyu. Her face flushed with anger as she pointed at Ouyang Zhenhua and said, "Don't think just because your rank is higher than mine, you can always suppress me. This is a police station matter. Why is the special forces interfering!"
Ouyang Zhenhua, however, didn't react as strongly as Su Jinyu, instead staring at Luo Chao's back with indifference, he said to Su Jinyu, "Officer Su, I know you're eager to make contributions, but you can't rush to handle everything. I received orders from above, saying that someone was carrying heavy weapons."
"It's just a burst-barreled pistol, no heavy weapons!"
Su Jinyu stubbornly replied, with Luo Chao internally cheering her on. Beautiful officer, take me away quickly; he didn't want to see familiar faces.
Unfortunately, Ouyang Zhenhua smiled and said, "Maybe they have biological weapons? If it's not discovered in time and you bring them back to the station, everyone might die due to your oversight. Can you bear that responsibility, Officer Su?"
Su Jinyu was choked by Ouyang Zhenhua's words. The young police officers next to her, upon hearing him, all looked at her. They didn't want to die in such an unclear manner.
Heilong stiffened again, carrying heavy weapons was bad enough, but now there's an added charge of carrying biological weapons? He was just following orders, but now he was bearing such a heavy burden?
Taking a deep breath, Su Jinyu pointed at Ouyang Zhenhua and said, "Fine, Ouyang Zhenhua, you win this time. I won't argue with you today! Withdraw team!"
In the instant Su Jinyu turned around, Ouyang Zhenhua's voice rang out again, "Rest assured, Officer Su. Once we've inspected and if there are no biological weapons, we'll transfer them to your police station. You'll still get credit."
Su Jinyu paused, turned back angry, glaring at Ouyang Zhenhua. Luo Chao, however, sighed softly in his heart.
"Let's head back as well," Ouyang Zhenhua said while still staring at Luo Chao's back.
