Huo Shaoheng stopped abruptly and didn't continue forward.
Looking at the scene in front of him, a poem suddenly appeared in his mind:
The stars hang over the vast plains, and the moon surges over the great river.
He then thought of a few lines from the Book of Odes:
Pass by the osprey, in the state of the river.
A fair lady is the lover of a gentleman.
His fingers moved, and he took out a cigarette from his pocket. He lowered his head and closed his hands slightly. The lighter flashed, and he lit the cigarette in his hand. He took a slow puff.
The flame between his fingers flickered in the dark night.
He Zhichu saw a flash of light from the corner of his eye. He quietly looked up and saw a tall figure standing not far away. He held a cigarette in his hand and silently looked over.
He didn't expect Huo Shaoheng to come in person.
He Zhichu immediately pressed the self-destruct button on the car key in his hand and calmly destroyed the second system in the car.
The engine of the car that was stuck in the mud had long since died, and the self-destruct mechanism had silently twisted the two systems into a ball. Even if the most powerful mechanic dismantled the car, they would not be able to tell that there used to be two systems here.
He Zhichu nodded at Huo Shaoheng and let go of Gu Nianzhi.
He took a step back, took off his coat, and draped it over Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi sensed something was wrong and followed He Zhichu's gaze.
The tall, unmoving figure not far away was Huo Shaoheng.
Gu Nianzhi restrained herself. Her eyes flashed quietly, but she didn't walk over.
Huo Shaoheng looked away and half-turned to call the people behind him.
"Go, find out what's going on with that car."
The mechanical experts, criminal investigation experts, and intelligence experts of the Special Operations Forces immediately walked over to the car that was stuck in the mud.
Huo Shaoheng followed behind them and arrived in front of He Zhichu and Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi's little face was as pale as snow, and her lips were as pale as a lotus under the moonlight. The tip of her nose was slightly red, and it was obvious that she was freezing.
Huo Shaoheng glanced at her and looked at He Zhichu. "What happened? Do you have any clues? "
He Zhichu shook his head and said coldly, "Unexpected disaster. I have no idea what happened. But did you encounter the police on your way here? "
"I did." Huo Shaoheng nodded. "The police also have a lot of problems. You have to be mentally prepared. I'm afraid they won't stop so easily."
Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips and tightened her coat around her. Taking a deep breath, she said, "We were chased by a police car. They should know our license plate number."
The moment the traffic police checked the license plate, they knew who the car belonged to.
Therefore, even though Huo Shaoheng had sent the Special Operations Forces to stop the police, the police who had received the tip-off would not let the matter rest.
He Zhichu said sarcastically, "Of course. They should be investigating by now."
"What do you want to do?" Huo Shaoheng held a cigarette in one hand and put the other in his trouser pocket.
He was wearing an overcoat made of military wool, and underneath it was the uniform he wore when he attended the military performance. It was made of thick wool, so it wasn't cold at all.
His fingers twitched when he saw Gu Nianzhi's pale face, but he resisted the urge to feel her forehead temperature.
A gust of cold wind blew, and Gu Nianzhi shivered.
Huo Shaoheng threw away the cigarette in his hand. "I'll get Fan Jian to send you back first."
He called Fan Jian over through his Bluetooth headset. "Drive the car over and send them out first. Make sure to take the other road."
The worker with the scanning equipment discovered something under the car. He quickly put on his gloves and climbed down from the raised back of the car. He successfully removed the two packets of white powder.
Gu Nianzhi had only seen the two packets of white powder on video. She didn't think it was a big deal at the time.
Now that he saw the two packages, his breathing almost stopped for a moment.
Each packet weighed two kilograms, so two packets weighed four kilograms. It was enough for them to sit in jail for a long time.
"There are fingerprints on them. We'll investigate after we collect them." Huo Shaoheng waved his hand to dismiss his men. He had already received a secret report that the car was already destroyed beyond recognition. There was no need to investigate further. "We can't stay too long."
He Zhichu turned to look at Gu Nianzhi. "Let's go."
Huo Shaoheng was here on official business, so it wasn't appropriate for him to have too much contact with Gu Nianzhi.
Their gazes met for a moment under the night sky, and then they looked away.
Gu Nianzhi walked up slowly and looked up. "Take us back to the parking lot of the bar."
"What do you want to do?" Huo Shaoheng frowned. "Go back quickly. I'll take care of this."
Gu Nianzhi shook her head and chuckled. "We want to go back to the parking lot of the bar and report that the police car was stolen."
Otherwise, this basin of dirty water would still have a follow-up.
He Zhichu understood what Gu Nianzhi meant and was slightly moved.
This was all for his own good …
The car was his. If Gu Nianzhi hadn't been caught by the police in the car accident, the consequences would have had nothing to do with her.
But she didn't stand by and watch.
Huo Shaoheng regained his expressionless composure. He glanced at the car and said, "The windows are professionally shielded from light. The driver's face shouldn't have been captured. It's still feasible to report that the police car was stolen. "
He agreed with Gu Nianzhi's idea.
"That's why we have to go back and call the police." Gu Nianzhi shivered again. It was so cold that even her smile was frozen.
"What if the parking lot had surveillance?" He Zhichu said slowly. "Wouldn't you be slapping yourself in the face if you called the police like that?"
Gu Nianzhi winked at He Zhichu slyly. "How could that be? I bet the cameras in the bar's parking lot must have been broken today. "
He Zhichu thought about the two people who had tampered with his car and immediately understood. A faint smile appeared on his cold face. "Yes, definitely."
The three of them didn't say anything else. He and Gu Nianzhi got into Fan Jian's car and drove off in another direction.
It wasn't far from Bar Jinling, so it only took them ten minutes to make a detour.
Knowing their plan, Fan Jian purposely chose a place where the cameras couldn't capture them and finally sent them safely to the street.
Gu Nianzhi and He Zhichu got out of the car and went to a supermarket to kill five minutes. Then they walked to the parking lot of Bar Jinling.
The bar was still brightly lit. The dance hadn't ended yet.
The two of them walked to the parking lot and looked around before He Zhichu picked up his phone to call the police.
Five minutes later, a local police car drove over with flashing lights and stopped in front of Bar Jinling.
He Zhichu stood calmly in the parking lot and said to the traffic police officer who had come to collect information, "My car has been here since 6pm, but it's gone now."
"Gone?" The traffic policeman scratched his head. The person who made the police report had an extraordinary bearing and was handsome. Although he was only wearing a narrow gray pinstripe suit, his every movement was extraordinary. One look and one could tell that he was either rich or noble.
The car he said had been stolen was a famous luxury Bentley.
"How about this? There are usually cameras in the parking lot of bars. We'll know once we get them." The traffic police officer searched the license plate number He Zhichu had mentioned in his system. It matched their records. The owner was indeed He Zhichu.
The owner of Bar Jinling panicked when he heard that a luxury car had been lost in his parking lot. He quickly asked someone to bring the parking lot camera records for the police to see.
However, the person on duty said with a sad face, "Boss, the parking lot camera was broken a few days ago. We requested to replace it, but you haven't approved it yet …"
The owner was extremely embarrassed and yelled, "How could you not remind me of such an important matter?! Dereliction of duty! Don't even think about getting a cent of this year's year-end bonus! "
He Zhichu looked at the owner coldly as he pushed all the blame to the person on duty. He shook his head slightly and said to the traffic police, "Then what should we do? Without the camera records, our car was lost for nothing? "
"Not necessarily. Your car is too expensive. It shouldn't be hard to find. "The traffic police said as he reported He Zhichu's report.
Not long after, his walkie-talkie rang. Someone wanted him to take the call.
The traffic police officer was confused. He didn't know what was going on. He took out his phone and walked to the side to ask, "What is it? Boss, I have someone reporting a theft. "
"… What license plate did you say the car was reported missing?"
The traffic police repeated the license plate He Zhichu had just mentioned and added, "I just checked the system. The owner of the car is indeed this person. He lost his luxury car, so of course he's unhappy. "
The person on the other end was very surprised and said, "Calm him down. I'll be right there."
The traffic police didn't know what was going on, but he still put away the phone and came over with a smile. "Please wait a moment. Our boss will be here soon. Sir, you lost a luxury car, and the amount is huge. We will definitely file a case. "
He Zhichu nodded reservedly, but he was unwilling to wait. "I believe in your abilities, but can we go back first? It's too cold, and I'm worried that my students won't be able to take it. It'll be troublesome for you if they get sick, right? "
He Zhichu used both the carrot and the stick, and the traffic police hesitated again.
He Zhichu was the person who had reported the theft. What reason did he have to detain him?
But he had no choice but to listen to his superior!
The traffic police was in a difficult position. With a bitter expression, he bowed to He Zhichu. "Mr. He, please wait a moment. Our boss will be here soon." He added, "If this lady is cold, you can come to my police car to warm up."
"No!"
"No way!"
Gu Nianzhi and He Zhichu refused almost in unison.
The traffic police froze. "I'll warm up in the police car …"
Gu Nianzhi pouted. "I didn't break the law. Why would I get in your police car?"
If someone secretly took a photo of her sitting in the police car, then edited it and Photoshopped it, she would be in unknown trouble again.
As the saying went, it was easy to start a rumor, but it was hard to refute it.
He Zhichu ignored the traffic police and called a taxi over.
Fortunately, the traffic police's superior arrived at almost the same time as the taxi.
As soon as he got out of the car, the police captain said to He Zhichu, "You called the police? When did the car go missing? "
He Zhichu put his hands in his trouser pockets and shrugged. "I don't know when I lost it. From six o 'clock this afternoon until now … "He looked at his watch with his left hand." Eleven o' clock. There were five hours in between. "
The police captain folded his hands behind his back and walked around the parking lot a few times before returning to He Zhichu. "To be honest, we received a tip-off that a Bentley had a major transaction today, but we lost it after following it for a long time. The license plate of that car is your car's license plate. "
He Zhichu raised a brow. His expression didn't change. "I see. You mean someone stole my car to commit an illegal act?"
"What does that have to do with us?" Gu Nianzhi was impatient. She gathered her coat and tugged at He Zhichu's collar. "Professor He, I'm freezing."
He Zhichu reached back to take her hand. It was icy cold. He immediately said, "I'm sorry. We really can't stand the cold. Goodbye."
The police captain was about to stop He Zhichu when he heard someone call out to him. "Boss! We found the car! It's at Little Chang River! Hurry over! "
The police captain was overjoyed. He immediately said to He Zhichu, "Sorry for the interruption." He then got into his police car and drove towards the Little Changhe River.
Gu Nianzhi and He Zhichu got into a taxi and returned to B University.
The taxi dropped Gu Nianzhi off at the bottom of her dorm building.
He Zhichu got out of the car with her and called the taxi back.
Gu Nianzhi asked, "Why did you come down? Isn't it better to take the taxi all the way back to the professors' building? "
He Zhichu urged her upstairs. "I'm fine. You go up first. I'm going to smoke."
Gu Nianzhi was freezing. She felt like her nose was about to run. In order to not be rude in front of He Zhichu, she turned around and went upstairs.
He Zhichu quietly smoked a cigarette under the big tree in front of the dorm building. He only returned to the professors' building when he saw Gu Nianzhi's dorm lights go out.
…
On the other hand, the police only found a nearly totaled Bentley stuck in the mud by the river.
"Boss, there's nothing in the car. Someone tampered with the brakes. It doesn't look that simple." A police officer reported their findings to the police captain.
Huo Shaoheng and his team of law enforcement officers were, of course, efficient. They searched the area first and didn't leave behind any clues. The police who came to search the area a second time didn't notice anything at all.
However, someone was also suspicious. "Boss, this area seems to have been sealed off tonight."
The police captain knew what was going on. "Tow the car away. Have Mr. He come to pick it up tomorrow."
…
Gu Nianzhi took a hot shower after returning to her dorm before going to bed.
However, she still caught a cold. When she woke up the next day, her head was heavy and her feet were light. She had a fever and didn't want to get up.
Her temples were swollen with pain.
She didn't rest for long before she was shocked by Ma Qiqi's knocking on the door.
"Nianzhi! Nianzhi! Look at Weibo! Look at Weibo! Someone is making a big scoop! "
Gu Nianzhi's heart skipped a beat. She quickly took out her phone and opened Weibo.
She saw that her homepage was filled with photos of a luxury car late at night.
Someone posted on the official blog of "Peace in the Capital" and claimed that they had captured a large police operation on Christmas Eve. They were chasing a luxury Bentley, and the owner of the luxury car happened to be acquainted with He Zhichu, the famous professor of law at B University. They asked "Peace in the Capital" what had happened.
Very quickly, another verified account came out and said that they had received a tip from a police insider. They had sufficient evidence to prove that the Bentley was suspected of transporting drugs. The amount was very large and the nature was extremely serious.
He Zhichu was also a famous person on Weibo. Not only did he have his own official blog, but he also had his own fan club.
Therefore, when this news came out, He Zhichu's fan club was the first to explode.
This group of Mrs. He's fans all came out and fought with the verified account and the secondary account that leaked the news. It was a bloodbath and their fighting power was off the charts.
Gu Nianzhi quickly glanced at the marketing accounts and fake accounts that were stirring up trouble. She immediately called He Zhichu. "Professor He, there's indeed someone on Weibo who's stirring things up. Please use your official Weibo account to make a statement."
He Zhichu had also just woken up. He took out his phone and looked at it when he heard Gu Nianzhi. He immediately went to the official police blog that he had reported to the police yesterday and said, "Looks like there are clues about my lost car. Please investigate them and see where they got the information. Someone stole my car to commit illegal acts. Not only did they commit theft, drug trafficking, but they also planted evidence and slandered others. I reserve all rights to pursue civil compensation. "
At the same time, he attacked the verified account and the secondary account that leaked the news. "Wait for my lawyer's letter."
