The man in the car seemed unperturbed albeit being surrounded from all directions. He twitched his lips slightly but remained calm.
Soon, he caught a glimpse of the person inside the car from the corner of his eye. His gaze darkened when he discovered someone else sitting in there instead of Ye Lanchen. As expected, it would take more to fool Ye Lanchen.
Ye Lanchen’s immediate instinct was to chase after the car the minute he exited the building. However, the scene from that night five years ago came flooding into his mind all of a sudden. Back then, he went into a hot pursuit only to realize she was not even in the car. He narrowed his eyes slightly at the reminder.
Nonetheless, the circumstances this time were different from that night. Several cars were instructed to trail after her hence it would be impossible for her to get out of the car in the middle of the journey.
However, he had to anticipate another possibility that could happen; she might get out of the car right in front of the bureau.
Therefore, he only pretended to enter the car earlier but ordered the other men to chase after the woman in actuality. He remained by the courtyard with a slightly narrowed gaze scanning over every police car that was parked nearby the vehicle that the woman had gotten into.
Ye Lanchen was indeed extremely cautious and meticulous. His speculation was correct.
Upon seeing Ye Lanchen dashing out of the main hall earlier, Chu Wuyou had in fact left the car through the other door shielded from the former’s view. Her accomplice had parked at the perfect spot surrounded by police cars ready in waiting for action.
Chu Wuyou did not jump into the police car nearest to her but bypassed two others because she noticed two policemen getting into the vehicle. Immediately, she held her foot out before the door was closed fully and entered the aforementioned police car within a matter of seconds.
She did not touch anything with her hands for fear of leaving behind her fingerprints.
Her accomplice from earlier waited until Chu Wuyou got into the police car before speeding off. The timing was impeccable. Chu Wuyou’s lips twitched when she discovered Ye Lanchen, who was standing in the courtyard, shifted his attention over to her direction. F*ck. What a savage.
Those two policemen were slightly stunned at her sudden entrance into the police car.
“Relax, I just want to hitchhike,” Chu Wuyou explained with a sweet and gentle smile. “Please make a phone call to Chief Shen before driving away. I have something to tell your chief.”
Chu Wuyou did not want them to drive off right away for fear that the sudden movement would make them Ye Lanchen’s primary target. She would not act rashly before coming up with a plan.
Those two policemen seemed to be caught by surprise and different motions chased over their features in a quick succession. They decided that she knew their chief personally from the manner of her speech hence one of them retrieved the phone and dialed the chief’s number.
Simultaneously, Chu Wuyou noticed Ye Lanchen taking great strides toward her direction.
Her eyes twinkled but she regained her composure. The corners of her lips curled into an enigmatic smile.
“Chief Shen.” Chu Wuyou requested the policeman to put the call on loudspeaker mode once it was connected. Her voice laced with mocking intention was transmitted to the other end of the phone call.
“It’s you!” Fifth Young Master Shen was quick to respond and discerned her voice instantly. He exclaimed out of instinct and his eyes darted to Ye Lanchen subconsciously.
Ye Lanchen paused in his tracks for a second upon hearing Fifth Young Master Shen’s voice. His eyes narrowed but he did not turn around. Instead, he picked up his pace suddenly and headed toward the police car where Chu Wuyou was situated. It went without saying that he had figured out her tricks…
“I need a favor from you, Chief Shen. Stop him from catching me.” Chu Wuyou twitched her lips again. Was Ye Lanchen an abnormal being? She reckoned the latter would at least stop for a moment if he knew she was speaking on the phone with Fifth Young Master Shen.
Chu Wuyou had no choice but to cut to the chase because Ye Lanchen was running slowly in her direction now.
“You want me to assist you in stopping Third Elder Brother? You must be nuts.” Fifth Young Master Shen’s eyelids fluttered involuntarily upon hearing her words. No doubt Third Elder Brother would kill him if he did as told.
This woman was very optimistic. He already felt sorry for not being able to assist his Third Elder Brother, but now she was asking him to lend her a hand? His response was definitely a no!!!
