It was as if everything went dark before my eyes for a moment, and then there was a faint voice ringing in my ears.
"So, Cheng Ran followed the criminals' wheel tracks all the way and met you at the foot of the back mountain of Mount Li?" It was Cheng Bin's voice.
Jiang Hongshao's voice: "I have a mobile phone. He can use it to contact you. As for the whereabouts of the criminals, if the police haven't arrived yet, we can only follow them..."
"It's a great help... But it's also very dangerous... Xiao Jiang, your father is very worried about you."
"Thank you uncle, I'm fine..."
Police lights were flashing all around and vehicles were driving.
My senses gradually returned, and such voices rang in my ears. It was the conversation between my cousin and Jiang Hongshao... But why was the thing I was resting my head on so soft, and there was a fragrance in my nose... It was a familiar orchid scent that was imprinted in my mind.
He opened his eyes and found that he was looking up, just in time to see Jiang Hongshao's profile looking out the car window.
Cheng Ran gradually regained consciousness and realized that he was in the back seat of the car, and... his head was resting on the legs of the girl in front of him.
It feels soft without being too supportive... more comfortable than any pillow could ever be.
Perhaps because of her unusual movement, Jiang Hongshao subconsciously lowered her head, and her eyes met Cheng Ran's open eyes.
They stood there like this for a few seconds.
An awkward and evil atmosphere is spreading...
Cheng Ran saw a blush gradually appearing on her face, and he... closed his eyes again.
Suddenly, his arm twisted in pain and he had to prop himself up. Jiang Hongshao, who pinched him, blushed and silently made lips that Cheng Ran recognized: "Rogue!"
Then she said calmly as if nothing had happened, "You're awake."
Jiang Hongshao's voice made Cheng Bin and Gu Xiaojun in front look over. Gu Xiaojun knew Cheng Bin's temper. He drove with his left hand and quickly put away everything at hand into the door storage compartment with his right hand. Finally, he pressed the teacup on the cup holder tightly and reminded Cheng Bin, "Cheng Ran has overdrawn his physical strength and just woke up. You should control yourself..." He was afraid that Cheng Bin would get angry.
However, Cheng Bin did not get as furious as expected, nor did he scold him for not listening to instructions. He just looked at the road illuminated by the car lights in front of him, and it was unknown what he was thinking. After a moment, a low voice came from the passenger side, "You... did a good job."
"I will tell your father about this. Go back and have a good rest. I may have to go through some formalities. I will come to you then... But this criminal gang is not a simple one. In order to prevent retaliation from their overseas accomplices, you should not expose them for the time being."
“Uh…” Cheng Ran was still a little stunned when he heard these words from Cheng Bin, who was usually relatively indifferent to his nephews.
At this time, Gu Xiaojun turned his head and blinked at him.
Then quietly gave a thumbs up.
Cheng Ran thought, "What happened to those criminals?"
"The bandit leader resisted with a gun, but was shot dead by your uncle on the spot. One of them is already dead, beaten to death by his own people, and the other three were captured... The hostages were rescued! You two little guys have done a great deed!"
Gu Xiaojun smiled and said, "But you fainted from exhaustion before... Your classmate Xiao Jiang's family is also anxious, so we will send you home first... You have worked hard today."
…
…
"The hostages have been rescued, the hostages have been rescued, that's great! Xie Houming is an important state cadre in our Shanhai City, this is a great victory! But there are still problems with this matter," at the road control point with flashing police lights, a middle-aged man in a gray suit followed by three officials stretched out a finger and gestured to the Shanhai City Public Security Bureau Chief Liu Yue, his voice a little hoarse due to staying up late for meetings.
"Ah, a large group of police officers failed to catch the gangsters, but two middle school students did it! Liu Yue, tell me, is there any problem with the professional level of your public security agency in this matter? Although they are acting bravely, isn't it your job to protect the safety and property of citizens? Even in such a big case as the one that happened in Shanhai City, as long as ordinary people are involved in danger in the process of solving the case, or your duties are replaced, it is a dereliction of duty by the police!"
"Yes, yes, Mayor Li! After this incident, we must learn from the pain, take the 'June 2nd case' as a warning, and carry out comprehensive rectification and upgrading of police work! Calm down, make up our minds, and improve our professional level! Prevent any signs of such cases from happening again!"
After a moment of seriousness, Liu Yue relaxed his brows and said, "Mayor Li! This is a great victory after all. We solved the case so quickly that we were ahead of the provincial and ministerial experts... Your daughter is really amazing. In my opinion, Jiang girl is really a heroine... Oh, Cheng Bin sent someone over..."
Inside the car, Gu Xiaojun had an unpleasant look on his face. "Not good... Mayor Li is cursing!?"
Jiang Hongshao's father? Even a bachelor like Gu Xiaojun showed such a difficult expression. One can imagine the usual majesty of the mayor of Shanhai City.
At this time, Cheng Bin and Gu Xiaojun turned their heads at the same time and looked at Cheng Ran in the back seat.
Cheng Ran's heart sank at that moment. After all, they were his elders. What was that expression on their faces? Why were they making him feel like he was about to be executed
At this time, Cheng Ran saw that the man with droopy eyelids was looking at their car slowly approaching with a cruel expression, like a black-faced god.
The black-faced god only took one look at Jiang Hongshao and then stopped looking at her. Instead, his eyes were fixed on himself beside her.
The look was really unfriendly, and it was staring at me without blinking, which actually gave me a scary feeling.
The car approached slowly, and Cheng Ran consciously or unconsciously let his head tilt back slowly, and the C-pillar of the car just blocked the line of sight between him and the black-faced god.
Then... he saw the black-faced god who was respectful to the Public Security Bureau Chief, and his head slowly moved out of the C-pillar that blocked their view... and their eyes met again.
This is simply as scary as a horror movie...
They stared at each other for a moment, then Cheng Ran awkwardly stretched out his hand, waved over there, and said, "... Hello, uncle."
…
Santana stopped, the door opened, and a group of people got out.
Jiang Hongshao stepped forward and said obediently, "Dad..."
Li Jingping said, "Are you okay?"
Jiang Hongshao shook her head and said it was okay.
Li Jingping nodded to Cheng Bin and said, "Thank you for your hard work. You have done a great job!"
Cheng Bin said, "It's my duty."
After some polite greetings among the crowd.
The dark aura on Li Jingping's face had not yet dissipated. He looked at Jiang Hongshao and asked in a deep voice, "Where are your clothes?"
Only then did Cheng Ran notice that he had been wearing Jiang Hongshao's pink jacket, which was one size smaller, the entire time!
At this time, in the mottled police lights around, the police officers who looked over were either chuckling secretly or looking at him strangely. Gu Xiaojun gently placed a hand on his face.
Cheng Ran took it off quickly and handed it to Jiang Hongshao in great embarrassment in front of everyone.
Jiang Hongshao reached out to take it, folded the coat and put it in her hand, then looked at him and said softly, "Thank you."
Li Jingping said in a deep voice, "Let's go home first."
Jiang Hongshao nodded, and before entering the city government car whose door was opened by the secretary, she turned around to look at Cheng Ran and waved at him.
Until Jiang Hongshao got into the car, Li Jingping's eyes remained on Cheng Ran from beginning to end.
It was like looking at the culprit who put his daughter in danger.
It was a voice that seemed to come from the king...
Condescending defensiveness and contempt.
…
…
Later, Li Jingping left with Jiang Hongshao, and Cheng Bin drove Cheng Ran home.
On the way back, Cheng Ran leaned his head on the back seat pillow.
On the road to Heilongtan, the traffic with flashing police lights merged into a sea.
Liu Zhiguo, the bandit leader who committed numerous murders and crimes and was only arrested six years later in his previous life, has been shot dead.
In the lobby of the Public Security Bureau, Xie Houming, who was drowned in a lake in his previous life, has been rescued. After counseling by a psychologist, he met his family and cried bitterly...
At this moment, Cheng Ran's mood in the back seat of the Santana could not be compared to that of winning tens of millions in lottery tickets. That was not a feeling that wealth, fame, or status could bring...
Well, the world has changed.
