Chen Wei had been anxiously waiting for a long time in a small restaurant near Hedong City's Central District Police Station.
Finally, the tall and sturdy young man arrived. He scratched his head in embarrassment. "Chief Chen, I'm sorry. I'm not familiar with the road and came to the wrong place."
"It's fine. Hedong City's roads aren't easy to find." Chen Wei smiled faintly. "Where's your companion?"
"She's on her way. Don't wait for her. She said she already ate." The young man apologized again. After receiving Chen Wei's call, he had immediately contacted Yin Long. However, Yin Long had told him that she was in Hedong City and would only come after lunch.
Chen Wei's face was somewhat puzzled. "Aren't you guys working together?"
The young man grinned. "We haven't even seen Red Scorpion's shadow yet. It should be faster if we split up to look for clues."
Chen Wei nodded thoughtfully. Then, he ordered the waiter to serve the dishes. It seemed that the customer in front of him was already quite hungry.
About ten minutes later, Ponytail appeared in the small restaurant. Chen Wei hurriedly invited her to sit.
The young man didn't react. He continued to eat casually and asked casually, "Any clues?"
Ponytail didn't answer. After sitting down, she drank a mouthful of tea and said to Chen Wei, "Chief Chen, I don't know why you called us here. Do you have clues about Red Scorpion?"
"No." Chen Wei said awkwardly.
"Chief Chen, if there are no clues in the future, I think it's best if we don't have any contact in the near future." Ponytail didn't have any intention of avoiding the topic. "I don't have any other intentions. I just don't want my and Azure Dragon's identities to be exposed too early."
Chen Wei nodded. "I understand. However, I came here this time to say something. I hid something from you guys yesterday because I wasn't sure. "
The young man and Ponytail both raised their heads to look at Chen Wei.
"Previously, I said that I suspected that a female superintendent of our city's police station had an expert helping her. I did a thorough investigation. The chef of the medicinal cuisine restaurant she lives in may be that expert." Chen Wei said. "This morning, I arranged for the criminal police to rent an Audi to follow him. However, he discovered us. They were able to adapt in time to avoid being caught. According to my many days of investigation, whether it's his insight, mobility, or intelligence, they are all extraordinary. "
The young man frowned. "Director Chen, is that person suspicious?"
Chen Wei shook his head. "Not at all. I just want to get his help. I think he's the one who can really control the underground forces in Hedong City."
The young man shook his head. "Chief Chen, we won't interfere in matters outside of Scarlet Scorpion. Our objective for coming here is extremely clear. If the other party isn't suspicious, even if he's someone from the underground world, we won't casually interfere."
"That's not what I meant. I just wanted to say that guy is definitely not a bad person. If you guys investigate Scarlet Scorpion, you'll find this person. By all means, do not misunderstand him." Chen Wei explained that the Audi that followed Xu Yun in the morning was arranged by the police, but he didn't have any bad intentions. He just wanted to clear Xu Yun's name.
Chen Wei knew that Azure Dragon and Yin Long were experts arranged by the higher-ups. They were extraordinary experts, so he was worried that when they investigated the Red Scorpion case, they would implicate the person who had helped Qin Wan 'er make several great contributions.
Having someone in Hedong City who helped the police in the dark was very beneficial to him, so he didn't want any other mishaps to happen.
"I've been to the medicinal cuisine restaurant," Ponytail said indifferently.
The young man frowned. "Yin Long, didn't I tell you not to mess around?!"
Ponytail disagreed. "Hedong City is only a third-tier city with a population of five to six million. How could there be an underground expert willing to settle here? So, whether it's Scarlet Scorpion or that person, they must have their own reasons. "
Veins popped out on the young man's fists. He really didn't know why such a newcomer was arranged to work with him. It was simply unreasonable. He still missed the boss's style of doing things that didn't concern him. A mission was a mission, and he wouldn't get involved in anything other than a mission.
"No one can prove whether or not he's the same as Scarlet Scorpion, someone under Green Demon." Although Ponytail's voice was low, it was pressing to the heart.
The young man's temples suddenly bulged. His face was stern and angry. "Yin Long, you should know what to say and what not to say."
This time, Ponytail didn't continue to defend herself and immediately fell silent.
The young man stood up. "Chief Chen, thank you for your kind reminder. We definitely won't meddle in other people's business. We only have one mission, and the target is Scarlet Scorpion. If you have any clues about him, please pass them on to us. We'll take our leave first. "
Ponytail followed suit and stood up.
"Then let's eat before you leave." Chen Wei also stood up. The two of them had changed so quickly. Just a moment ago, the young man with the codename Azure Dragon still had a relaxed expression on his face. Why did the ponytailed brat suddenly mention Green Ghost? His expression immediately changed.
The young man tactfully declined. "Thank you for your hospitality, Chief Chen. I'm already full."
Without waiting for Chen Wei to decline again, the young man and Ponytail had already disappeared from his sight. They directly got into the car and quickly left.
In the car, Ponytail didn't say a word. She had already realized her slip of the tongue. After a long time, she said indifferently, "I'll write a reflection when I get back."
The young man said expressionlessly, "I'm not the kind of person who likes to snitch. I won't report this matter to the higher-ups. So don't worry. "
"But I'm that kind of person." Ponytail said without the slightest bit of apology. "You must've gone to a bar to drink last night, right? I've already sent a report to the instructor. "
Fuck! You don't have to be so quick to snitch, right?!
The young man nearly vomited blood. "Are you kidding me? Didn't I say that I'm only familiar with Hedong City's roads?! How can you be so sure that I went to drink? "
"There's a GPS in the car." Ponytail replied very easily. "Last night, after half past ten, the car stopped at Tongcheng Road No. 18. It didn't leave until three in the morning. I've already checked. Tongcheng Road No. 18 is a bar called Beautiful Night. Am I right? "
You win! You even keep track of the GPS! The young man was really speechless with his new partner. If it was the old Yin Long, he would've never done this … It was even more impossible for him to snitch. He would've gone to the bar with him a long time ago …
Ponytail seemed to read the young man's mind. "Sorry, I'm not your former partner. And before I came out, the instructor repeatedly told me that if you went to drink, I must report it. The captain said discipline. If you violate the rules, I will definitely report it."
The young man was speechless. That bastard Ying Long! Boss has only been gone for a year, and this bastard really thinks he's the boss.
"Newbie, let me tell you, there's only one boss in the Dragon Fury Team! Even if the boss is gone now, he's still the only instructor, the only captain. You better not use Ying Long to pressure me. He's not qualified to control me! "The young man looked a little irritated, and unknowingly sped up the car.
Ponytail didn't say that she didn't know the history of Dragon's Fury. She only knew that she was the first female member of the Dragon Fury Team, and that all the members of Dragon's Fury were abnormal existences. The weakest were at the peak of second-rate experts, and people who were about to break through to the first-rate realm.
The Dragon Fury Team was the sharp blade of the Dragon Squad. Only the sharpest elites of each department had the opportunity to enter the Dragon's Fury Team and receive more severe training and more dangerous and cruel missions.
Ponytail had only joined the Dragon Fury Team for half a year. The only instructor she knew was Ying Long, the only man in the Dragon Fury Team who stood at the peak of the ninth rank. She had also heard of another "boss" from many people. Although she hadn't seen that person, the people of Dragon's Fury didn't seem to be particularly convinced of Ying Long. Many times, they would compare Ying Long with that "boss".
Half a year after entering Dragon's Fury, the ponytailed girl had broken through from a second-rate expert to a first-rate expert. She had also finally received everyone's recognition and was given the title of Silver Dragon. It was said that the previous owner of this title was a martyr who had achieved outstanding military service, so she respected this title very much. She felt that she deserved this title and was especially honored.
Later on, she met Azure Dragon, who was Yin Long's partner. Azure Dragon had a sloppy personality and often talked back to the instructor, but the instructor couldn't do anything about it. She was very curious as to why this kind of person could stay in the Dragon's Fury Team. However, during a group mission, she saw Azure Dragon's terrifying strength and understood why he existed in the Dragon Fury Team.
Although they were both first-rate experts, she was only a first-rate expert of the first rank, and Azure Dragon, who was above the fifth rank, was still far away. Later on, she no longer rejected this partner. Especially when Azure Dragon's companion's life was in danger, he erupted with a terrifying aura. It was something she had never imagined.
Perhaps this was the commonality of every member of the Dragon Fury Team. Every one of them was the same. They could accept their own death, but they absolutely couldn't accept watching their companions fall.
Later on, she heard from Azure Dragon that she, the predecessor of the Yin Long title, had fallen in order to protect the life of that "boss". She had always been shocked by this and had always wanted to see this "boss" they spoke of.
However, every time she mentioned this person, Azure Dragon would have a bitter smile on his face. He would look up at the sky and say to himself that he didn't know whether or not the boss would return here.
"I'm sorry." Ponytail suddenly opened her mouth. "But I'm no longer a newcomer. You should trust me."
The youth didn't expect her to apologize. He helplessly smiled bitterly. "There's nothing to be sorry about. I'm just not used to Shadow Dragon's control. It has nothing to do with you. I don't want you to complicate things because Scarlet Scorpion is definitely not someone to be trifled with. With your strength, you're definitely not his match. I really don't fucking understand why Shadow Dragon would throw this mission to me. From the start, I never thought of bringing you along. "
Ponytail clearly didn't agree. "If I don't experience this kind of thorny mission, I'll never be able to grow."
"Heh, you're quite open-minded. What if you die? The price of growth isn't that simple. "The youth was quite speechless at Ponytail, this newcomer who didn't know the difference between life and death.
Ponytail indifferently said, "Dragon's Fury members won't just watch their companions die. I don't believe you'll let me die. "
"Tch." The youth snorted disdainfully. "You think you're infallible? Do you think I'll risk my life for anyone?"
"But I'm your partner." Ponytail didn't take the blow in the slightest.
"I really can't stand you." The youth rolled his eyes. "Then don't act on your own."
