Chapter 33

Jonathan was ordered to "interrogate" the captured tongue (to save time). After the interrogation, Jonathan returned to the meeting room.

Robin: "How did it go? Did you get him to talk?" — tired

Jonathan: "He talked, the guy spilled everything."

Robin: "Everything? You're amazing. I asked him all the way during the escort, but he refused to reveal his identity. Do you have some special technique for our secret interrogation methods? Can you teach me?" — admiring

Jonathan: "Teach you? Sure, no problem, it's just some practical carpentry skills." — smiling

Robin: "…I think I'll pass. (whispering) No wonder they didn't let us watch."

Dent: "So, is he a cop?"

Robin: "A cop? Why would you think that?"

Dent: "One of them claimed to be a cop when they were kidnapping, demanding that the GCTV security guards not interfere. He only showed the cover of his badge and didn't show the actual badge before they drove away. Since they weren't in uniform and didn't show their badges, their identities were a mystery, so I ordered the security guards to detain one of them and call the police."

Jonathan: "He's not a cop, he's a security guard hired by Seaside Pharmaceuticals, called 'Lackey Ding.' You did the right thing by not letting him go."

I (narrator): "Sure enough, a fake cop. The audience and I are not surprised at all."

Gordon: "Alright, no need to say more. This matter should be handed over to the Gotham City Police. Everyone can take a lunch break."

Robin: "Lunch break? Zhou Ke was kidnapped, and we still have time for a lunch break? Why aren't we rushing to save him?"

Gordon: "Dent already called the police when it happened. Now the Gotham City Police have taken full control of the situation."

Robin: "But…"

Gordon: "Don't worry, they won't escape Gotham City. Police checkpoints have been set up on all roads, at train stations, airports, and ports. Plus, the surveillance cameras at GCTV captured clear images of the license plates of the two cars they used. We have a fully cooperative tongue. They have no chance of escape; it's just a matter of time before the police catch them."

Robin: "So we can only wait now?"

Gordon: "Yes, this kidnapping case is now under police jurisdiction. It's not the time for concerned citizens to help catch the mentally ill. We just need to wait. I estimate that Zhou Ke will be back within five hours. Alright, everyone, go have lunch." — everyone disperses

I (narrator): "Will it go so smoothly? I doubt it."

Meanwhile, on the highway, in the leader's car

Zhou Ke: "You are… (recognizing the leader's face) the black security guards responsible for intercepting petitioners for Seaside Pharmaceuticals."

Leader: "Hehe, we've had many encounters, and now we know each other well. No need for me to explain further, right?"

Zhou Ke: "…Are you going to throw me back into the mental hospital again? Are you going to beat me up to teach me a lesson?" — frightened

Leader: "Yes, the [order] from above requires it. Sorry, I don't want to, but I'm actually grateful to you." — apologetic smile

Zhou Ke: "Grateful to me?" — confused

Leader: "Of course. Without petitioners like you, Seaside Pharmaceuticals wouldn't give us so many [orders]. Without a steady stream of [orders], how could our security company grow so fast and so big? How could I not be grateful to you?" — smiling

Zhou Ke: "Hehehe, so I've unknowingly become your business partner."

Leader: "Exactly, we should find time to have a drink together."

Zhou Ke: "A drink? No need. As your long-term business partner, let me give you a business tip."

Leader: "A business tip? Sure, I'm all ears." — smiling

Zhou Ke: "Before putting a lunatic in a car, you should thoroughly search him to see if he has any hidden weapons. Otherwise, the lives of everyone in the car are at risk." — smiling

Leader: "…" — his smile froze

Three seconds later, a serious car accident occurred on the highway, with multiple cars colliding. The first two cars were severely damaged.

I (narrator): "Wow, this turn of events. Zhou Ke isn't really mentally ill, is he? How can he be so violent?"

After lunch, in the "Professional Superhero" production team meeting room

Robin: "What's this? Your bag?" — asking Dent

Dent: "It's not my bag, it's Zhou Ke's. He left it behind when he was kidnapped, and I brought it back."

Robin: "I see… Let me check what's inside." — about to open the bag

Dent: "That's not right. We shouldn't touch it; it's an invasion of privacy."

Robin: "Oh, you're so cautious. Maybe there's a clue to save Zhou Ke in here…" — opening the bag

Dent: "Hmph, if he sues you, don't drag the production team into it. I warned you." —

Robin: "Forget the small stuff, go get everyone." — his face changed

Dent: "Get everyone? Are you out of your mind? Who do you think you are?"

Robin: "Go get them!" — shouting

Dent: "Alright, alright." — realizing something was wrong, he went to get everyone

I (narrator): "What did the boy find in the bag that got him so excited? It can't be a nuclear weapon, right?"

—

Gordon: "Why did you call us here so urgently? Don't you know I need to rest after lunch? Do you know anything about health?"

Robin: "Director, look what I found in Zhou Ke's bag." — handing a box to Gordon

Gordon: "Just a box… an urn?" — serious

Robin: "It's his wife's urn."

Gordon: "…Damn it, Jonathan!" — angry

Jonathan: "This… the background check on Zhou Ke didn't show that his wife had died. It must have happened in the last couple of days. I didn't know."

Gordon: "Did you take him lightly because he's just a regular person? Kent!" — knowing Kent has X-ray vision

Kent: "I checked, and there were no dangerous items in his bag."

Gordon: "No dangerous items in the bag? You don't understand human nature. He came to Gotham City to seek revenge, not to return alive… Wait, you said 'in the bag'?" — emphasizing "in the bag"

Kent: "Yes, the things he carried didn't threaten me." — indifferent

Gordon: "You…" — speechless with anger

I (narrator): "Wanting Zhou Ke to take out Gordon? Boy, you're too dark."
