Chapter 75

Wang Bo left his dream, and this time he completed a long distance with his greatly increased endurance, earning him 20 points, bringing his total points to 150.

When he woke up, he found the room quiet, and the "little cockroach" that had been crawling on his face was nowhere to be seen. He turned his head to look at the bed and found that Lu Lu had already fallen asleep, her back turned to him. Seeing that Lu Lu's blanket was not properly covered, with her limbs exposed, he was afraid she would catch a cold, so he got up to cover her.

Unexpectedly, Lu Lu seemed to have just fallen asleep and was a light sleeper. He accidentally touched her arm, and she woke up with a groan, turning to see Wang Bo leaning forward and holding the edge of the blanket, unsure if he was trying to sneak into bed or something else.

She instinctively turned over, grabbed the blanket, and pulled it back, whispering, "What do you want to do to me?"

Their eyes met, and both felt awkward. Wang Bo, not expecting to wake her up and seeing that she was a bit misunderstood, quickly explained, "You kicked off the blanket, I just wanted to cover you up."

She let out a relieved "oh," but then felt a bit disappointed. Taking advantage of his being awake, she asked, "Are you comfortable sleeping on the floor?"

Wang Bo smiled bitterly and said, "It's fine, but it seems that cockroaches can crawl onto my face." Lu Lu was startled, "Cockroaches?!" She didn't expect that Wang Bo was actually talking about her. "Then, then you sleep in the bed, cockroaches are too scary!"

Wang Bo was taken aback, "I sleep in the bed? Where will you sleep, do you want to go down and stay with the cockroaches?"

"Ugh..." She made a disdainful sound, "Of course I'll sleep in the bed too." Saying this, she moved over, "Come on, there's enough space anyway."

Seeing that he was still hesitating, she said in frustration, "I don't mind, why are you, a big guy, still shy?"

Wang Bo thought, if so, then so be it. Since he wasn't going to do anything, he had nothing to feel guilty about. So he turned around, picked up his blanket, placed it next to Lu Lu, and climbed in.

Lu Lu didn't expect him to have this move, and her original plan was immediately foiled. But she had no reason to oppose his actions, so she turned her back and pouted, falling asleep. Wang Bo also slept with his back to her. In the middle of the night, he felt a chill and woke up to find his blanket gone!

He turned back and saw that Lu Lu had kicked her own blanket to the floor and was now covering herself with his. It looked like she was about to kick it off the bed too. So he went over and pulled the edge of the blanket, but Lu Lu turned over and leaned towards him, curling up next to him as if it was more comfortable there. She adjusted her position, smacked her lips, and continued to sleep.

This left Wang Bo in a dilemma. Their positions were right in the middle, and if they split the blanket, there wouldn't be enough space at either end. He was also very tired and didn't want to move, so he simply pulled the blanket to cover both of them, thinking he would explain in the morning, and fell asleep.

He didn't sleep for long before he woke up again. This time it wasn't because his blanket was taken, but because Lu Lu's limbs were restless, touching him here and there. He thought helplessly, her sleeping posture is really bad.

Suddenly, Wang Bo felt a tightness on his back, and a soft mass leaned against him. Then a cold little hand slipped under his arm and wrapped around his chest.

Wang Bo's heart raced, wondering what was going on. Was she awake or still asleep? He listened carefully, and the steady breathing from behind Lu Lu suggested she was deeply asleep. So she was probably just adjusting her position, right?

He closed his eyes and tried to sleep, but Lu Lu's hand became more restless, exploring his chest and eventually resting on his stomach, very close to his lower abdomen. Then her foot also leaned against him, hanging on his leg.

Wang Bo struggled to endure, this state made him completely unable to sleep, feeling a tickling sensation in his heart. Lu Lu's breath on the back of his neck made him shiver. To avoid embarrassing her, he resisted the urge to wake her up, gently moved her hand from his stomach to her back, and slowly moved his body to the side, slipping out from under her foot.

Feeling free, he quickly slid out of bed, looked at her, and saw that she was still sleeping soundly. He let out a sigh of relief, then went to the other side of the bed to pick up the blanket Lu Lu had kicked off, and lay back on his own mat.

As soon as he got into the blanket, he thought with a lingering fear: It's still better to sleep alone.

The next morning, Lu Lu stretched and yawned, then realized something was wrong. After thinking for a moment, she remembered: Why am I sleeping in Wang Bo's blanket? That's not right, where is he? She turned her head and saw Wang Bo lying on the mat, covered with her original blanket.

What exactly happened? She tried to recall, but she had slept too deeply last night and had no memory of it.

Last night, there was a breakthrough in the case involving Chang Guobing and his accomplices suspected of kidnapping. According to the analysis of the case last night, the police leaked information during the interrogation of Chang Guobing's subordinates, and someone informed Chang Guobing and his group, leading to their timely escape.

Although the kidnapped hostages were safely released, the criminals were still at large. Therefore, the police believed that there must be an informant among Chang Guobing's subordinates and intensified the interrogation.

Finally, under the pressure of the severe punishment for kidnapping and the criminal responsibility of those who shielded the criminals, someone could no longer withstand the pressure and confessed to part of what they knew.

Following the leads, the police eventually determined that Chang Guobing and his group were habitual offenders, with two extremely serious kidnapping cases on their record! The victims were all students, and after the police found them and patiently persuaded them, they finally confirmed the evil deeds of Chang Guobing and his group.

Therefore, while the police issued a warrant for the arrest of Chang Guobing and two others, they also acknowledged the statements of the victims in the kidnapping case last night, speculating that Chang Guobing and his group, having committed similar crimes multiple times, fled in a panic when they learned that the police had started an investigation, without harming the victims and their classmates. The case was temporarily concluded, and only needed Lu Lu and Wang Bo to testify in court when Chang Guobing and his group were caught.

However, one person still had doubts about the case, and that was Peng Zhenzhen, the intern policewoman who took the statements from Wang Bo and others last night. According to the testimony of the eyewitnesses, one of the suspects lured Lu Lu downstairs, and two more suspects jumped out of the car to kidnap her. Afterward, the three of them got back into the car, which meant there was a fourth suspect, the driver of the van!

However, in the confession of Chang Guobing's group, only two subordinates, nicknamed Baldy and Scholar, went out with Chang Guobing last night. So who was this unknown fourth person? She believed that given Chang Guobing's style, he wouldn't hire a driver for such a case on the spot. Therefore, this driver was likely a close friend of Chang Guobing, trusted and bold enough to participate in such a crime. This narrowed down the possibilities to his peers in the underworld.

However, the fight at the cinema parking lot had already sent most of Chang Guobing's allies to the detention center. Who else could have avoided that incident?

Peng Zhenzhen was very smart, but without more clues, she couldn't piece together a clear picture. So that morning, she drove to the outskirts of the city to investigate several locations.

The first place she arrived at was near a construction site, where Wang Bo said Chang Guobing had first met him. She found no clues there.

Then she went to the second place, where Lu Lu said Chang Guobing had left her. She carefully examined the area but found nothing.

She reviewed Chang Guobing's personal file and found that both places were close to an old house of Chang Guobing's. However, Lu Lu did not mention this old house in her statement last night. According to her, she had been unconscious after being kidnapped and only regained consciousness in the car, hearing Chang Guobing and his subordinates discussing that the police were on their trail, so they had to run away and then left her by the roadside.

Peng Zhenzhen drove to the old house mentioned in the file. Seeing the door wide open, she immediately became alert. She got out of the car with a police baton and carefully entered the house. She found that the place was frequently visited, with cigarette butts and other trash scattered around, and the fingerprints were very mixed, indicating that it was a hideout for Chang Guobing's group.

She deduced that after kidnapping Lu Lu last night, Chang Guobing and his group likely stayed at this place first, then sent someone to the first meeting point to secretly observe Wang Bo, to see if he came alone or with the police. After confirming it was safe, they planned to drive Lu Lu to the second meeting point to carry out their revenge on Wang Bo. However, they received a warning call and abandoned their plan, fleeing in the night.

At first glance, the case seemed to make sense, but Peng Zhenzhen shook her head in doubt. If they had confirmed it was safe, why didn't they directly invite Wang Bo to this place and avoid the transfer?

She investigated the area around the old house and found tire tracks in the mud, indicating that a car had been there, and the tracks were relatively fresh. She also noticed that the soil near the stone slabs was slightly different from the soil further away, appearing more damp. She carefully examined the cement floor in front of the old house and determined that part of it had been soaked.

This discovery surprised and delighted Peng Zhenzhen: Something definitely happened here last night, but the scene had been tampered with. What exactly happened? Was it a murder?

The sound of machinery from a distant construction site reached her ears. She looked in that direction and decided to visit the site, hoping to find valuable clues.
