Chapter 5

"Master, are we not leaving now? Miss Chen seems to have left!" On the opposite side of the road from the entrance of the Jiangsong High-tech Zone Public Security Bureau, a black Maserati was parked. Inside the car, a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses sat in the driver's seat and turned his head to ask the young man in the passenger seat.

The young man's left cheek was swollen and red, as if he had been slapped. "Let's ignore her for now. There's still one person who hasn't come out!" Zhao Hongjun stared outside with a cold expression. Today was too embarrassing; he didn't have the face to go and fawn over Chen Siyao so soon. In the café, Chen Siyao and Chen Mo had exchanged glances, and Chen Siyao had even said that Chen Mo was her fiancé, which greatly upset Zhao Hongjun. He had to vent his anger, but that guy didn't seem like an ordinary person. Today, he could take the opportunity to see what he was made of.

Zhao Xuan was the ace lawyer of the Jiangsong Qingtian Law Firm, one of the top few in the industry. In reality, he was a branch of the Zhao family, and the Qingtian Law Firm was an institution established by the Zhao family's Haigang Group.

"Master, what kind of person is this to make you, the second young master, wait for him personally? What did he do wrong? Should I go in and talk to the leaders in the bureau?" By seniority, Zhao Xuan was Zhao Hongjun's uncle, but in terms of family status, Zhao Xuan wasn't even worthy of tying Zhao Hongjun's shoes. Therefore, Zhao Xuan spoke to Zhao Hongjun very politely and cautiously.

"Zhao Long, Zhao Hu, are your injuries okay?" Zhao Hongjun didn't answer Zhao Xuan's question but instead asked the two bodyguards in the back seat.

"Fine!" The two men replied in unison after a moment of silence. Today, they had suffered a setback, and it was embarrassing to have been defeated by an unknown young man. They didn't dare to speak much to Zhao Hongjun.

"Zhao Xuan, don't ask anymore. If you're in a hurry, you can leave. Otherwise, wait here. I want to see what this guy is made of." Zhao Hongjun didn't want to explain to Zhao Xuan. This embarrassing matter wasn't something to be proud of. He just wanted to see who Chen Mo would find to bail him out, so he could analyze Chen Mo's background.

...

"Yaoyao, why did you suddenly come to China without giving me a heads-up? You should have called me first about today's incident. That way, you wouldn't have had to go to the police station. Don't worry, I've already spoken to their leaders about that female police officer. It's completely unacceptable!"

Less than a hundred meters from the entrance of the High-tech Zone Police Bureau, a light blue Volvo was parked. The car wasn't particularly eye-catching from the outside, but its mechanical and configuration were quite good.

"Siyu!" Chen Siyao glanced outside and saw the very conspicuous Maserati parked on the opposite side of the road. She had left early and saw Zhao Hongjun and his group get into the car, but she didn't understand why they hadn't left yet. Did Zhao Hongjun think she hadn't come out? Was he waiting for her? She didn't care; she didn't want him to interfere with her affairs.

"What?" In the driver's seat of the Volvo was a young and beautiful woman, about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. Her appearance was slightly less striking than Chen Siyao's, but they had different styles. Her name was Zhang Siyu, and because both their names contained the character 'si,' they had become very close during their studies in Nangang City. Even after Zhang Siyu returned to the mainland, they remained in contact, often using email, QQ, and other communication tools.

"This time, I might have to trouble you. We'll wait here for a bit. There's still one person who hasn't come out!" Chen Siyao didn't know how to explain her relationship with Chen Mo to outsiders. Saying they were cousins wasn't accurate, and saying they were a couple wasn't true either. This relationship was a bit awkward, so it was better to explain as little as possible. She blamed that damned will, but Chen Mo didn't seem as simple as his records suggested. She wanted to see how he would get out of the police station.

...

"Name!" Zhou Yaping entered the small room, waved her hand to dismiss the two police officers inside, and then sat opposite Chen Mo, asking formally.

"Chen Mo!" Although Chen Mo was angry that Zhou Yaping was asking questions she had already recorded, he still answered obediently. This wasn't the time for a temper tantrum; the important thing was to get back to school as soon as possible. It was already 12:30 PM, and he had a class with the 'Extinction' old woman at 1:20 PM. If he didn't return, he would be in trouble.

"Gender!"

"Age!"

"What did you do to get here?"

...

Chen Mo answered all of Zhou Yaping's deliberately difficult questions, finally showing a fearful expression. "Sister Police Officer, can you let me go now? I have a class this afternoon and can't afford to miss it!"

"Hmph!" Zhou Yaping sneered. If she hadn't just seen the surveillance video, where Chen Mo's skills were as good as those of a top special forces soldier, she might have been fooled by his innocent and simple expression. "Anyone who dares to conflict with the second young master of the Haigang Group is no ordinary person, but this Chen Mo's background is too ordinary. Hmph, my uncle said I was wrong, but I'm not. I must prove to him that I'm right!"

"Disrupting public order in a public place is a serious violation of the law. Considering that you are a student and have a relatively positive attitude and cooperated with the investigation, you will not be administratively detained. I will give you a warning, and your family must come to take you home!" Zhou Yaping said coldly.

Chen Mo was taken aback. He thought Zhou Yaping had come in a rage and expected to be in trouble, but he was surprised to be let go so easily. He was relieved that the school hadn't been notified, but he couldn't help but smile bitterly at the thought of having to call his family.

"What, do you want to stay here? I can arrange for you to stay!" Zhou Yaping frowned when she saw Chen Mo sitting there silently with a smile and said coldly.

"No, no, Sister Police Officer, I don't want to eat prison food. I don't have many family members left. I don't know who to call. Can't you just let me go?" Chen Mo put on a pitiful expression, knowing that with Zhou Yaping's temper, like a little tyrannosaurus, it was better to be soft to gain her sympathy.

"Oh, parents missing!" Zhou Yaping looked at the records and understood. It wasn't a lie; the records showed that Chen Mo had reported his parents missing to the police, but their whereabouts were still unknown. Although she was curious about Chen Mo's skills, she felt some sympathy for him. "Then, any relative, teacher, classmate, or friend can come to pick you up!"

"Can't I just leave without anyone coming?" Chen Mo saw Zhou Yaping's tone soften and felt relieved, putting on a pitiful expression again.

"No!" Zhou Yaping said firmly, "A legal citizen must bail you out. Otherwise, you can't leave here!"

Chen Mo put away his pitiful expression, showing a look of helplessness, and used the landline in the small room to dial a number!
