Chapter 84: Zhou Xiaojun Has Been Arrested
On the other side, Zhang Xiaoli was driving her sports car, but she was not going to provide treatments for any customers; that was merely an excuse she had used to fob off Zhou Xiaojun.
She parked the car in the underground garage of a nearby shopping mall and then waited in the car for a call from a private investigator.
Having been with Zhou Xiaojun for several months, Zhang Xiaoli was very familiar with his daily habits, including the irregular foot massage parlor he frequented, which Zhang Xiaoli also knew clearly.
She had agreed to the marriage with Zhou Xiaojun today, then deliberately provoked him and refused to let him touch her; based on her understanding of Zhou Xiaojun, it was highly likely that he would go to that kind of place to vent again.
Sure enough, in less than twenty minutes, she received a call from the private investigator; Zhou Xiaojun had indeed entered that foot massage parlor.
A mocking smile appeared on Zhang Xiaoli's face, and she immediately took out her phone and called Chen Gang, a childhood friend of Lin Dazhi.
Chen Gang was the deputy director of the Shangcheng District Police Station; the reason she had Chen Gang's number was, naturally, because Lin Dazhi had given it to her, just in case.
However, Lin Dazhi probably never imagined that Zhang Xiaoli would actually seek out Chen Gang for this kind of matter.
"Hello? Brother Gang, it's Xiaoli. There is something I would like to ask a favor of you for..."
After hanging up the phone with Zhang Xiaoli, the expression on Chen Gang's face was somewhat strange.
What was this situation?
Wasn't Zhang Xiaoli Lin Dazhi's girlfriend? Why was she calling him and asking him to help conduct a raid?
After thinking about it, Chen Gang still gave Lin Dazhi a call.
On the other end of the line, Lin Dazhi laughed as soon as he heard what Chen Gang had to say.
"Gangzi, I don't know about this matter, but since Xiaoli has asked you, just consider it a favor to me. Come over to my place tonight to have a drink if you're free," Lin Dazhi said with a smile on the other end.
Since Lin Dazhi had said as much, what was there to hesitate about?
Chen Gang immediately walked out of his office and shouted to the few people in the room across the hall: "Dachun, Huzi, Xiao Wei, come out with me. We've received a report from the public that someone is soliciting prostitution!"
"Understood, Captain Chen!"
"Received!"
"Received!"
The SUV roared out of the police station and arrived at the entrance of the alley in less than five minutes.
Chen Gang led his men straight into the foot massage parlor, and upon entering, he immediately flashed his badge.
"Nobody move! Hands on your heads and squat down!"
"Behave yourselves!"
"What are you doing? Put the phone down!"
The men Chen Gang brought were all veterans; this was a minor scene to them. In no time at all, they brought the few men and women caught in the act out to the lobby.
Zhou Xiaojun was squatting on the ground, naked, his mind a complete blank!
What was going on?
He had come here often in the past and had never encountered something like this!
Wasn't it said that the boss was quite capable? That the connections were solid and safety was guaranteed?
It was over. Caught in the act—the fine and such were one thing, but if this got out, how embarrassing would it be!
If Xiaoli found out, would she break up with him?
At the thought of this, Zhou Xiaojun's guts turned green with regret!
But now, regret was useless.
Half an hour later, Zhou Xiaojun was already in the detention center, his eyes vacant, answering questions mechanically.
"Name?"
"Zhou Xiaojun."
"Age?"
"24."
"Place of employment?"
"Unemployed."
"Hmm? Are you sure?"
"Officer, this is truly my first offense, really. Please, show some leniency. I'll pay whatever fine is necessary, just please don't let my workplace find out."
"What were you doing earlier? You know to be afraid now? Cut the useless talk. Place of employment!"
While Zhou Xiaojun was being interrogated at the station, Zhang Xiaoli had returned to the home of Zhangxiaojun's parents, saying she had left some things at Zhangxiaojun's place and had come to retrieve them.
Zhou Dakui and Xie Fenglan were both at home, and as they watched Zhang Xiaoli rummaging around in their son's room, their eyes were filled with satisfaction.
Such a wealthy daughter-in-law, and the key was that she had no maternal family to deal with; she was simply a gift from the heavens to their Lao Zhou Family!
"Did you find it? Xiaoli, why don't you give Xiaojun a call?" Xie Fenglan said from the living room.
"No need, Auntie. I know where it is; Xiaojun told me," Zhang Xiaoli said, turning her head.
Just at this moment, Xie Fenglan's phone rang.
"Your phone is ringing," Zhou Dakui, who was to the side, reminded her.
Xie Fenglan usually forgot where she put her phone; after hearing the ringtone, she searched for a long time before finding it in the bathroom.
She glanced at the incoming number; it was a local landline. Thinking it was a delivery person, Xie Fenglan answered it directly.
Xie Fenglan had a habit when answering the phone: she used the speakerphone. Her hearing was not very good, and she could not hear the voice from the earpiece clearly.
"Hello?"
Xie Fenglan had only just said "Hello" when a stern male voice came from the other end of the line.
"This is the Shangcheng District Police Station. Are you Zhou Xiaojun's mother, Xie Fenglan?" the voice on the other end asked seriously.
Xie Fenglan was stunned and instinctively said, "I am. You're from the police station? What happened to Xiaojun?"
Just at this moment, Zhang Xiaoli also walked out from the room, pretending to come to Xie Fenglan's side unintentionally.
"Your son Zhou Xiaojun has been detained according to the law for soliciting prostitutes; you family members should come over as soon as possible!" the person on the other end of the phone informed her sternly.
"What? Soliciting prostitutes? You must have made a mistake, how could my son do such a thing?" Hearing the content of the call, Xie Fenglan was stunned!
Zhou Dakui, standing to the side, frantically signaled to her with his eyes, indicating that their future daughter-in-law was still here.
But hearing that her son had been arrested, how could Xie Fenglan still care about such things?
"Where is my son now?" Xie Fenglan asked anxiously.
"Didn't I just tell you? Shangcheng District Police Station, 67 Minsheng Road, opposite Taihe Mall, hurry over."
The phone hung up, and Xie Fenglan had not yet recovered from the shock.
To the side, Zhang Xiaoli's expression had already darkened.
"Xiaoli, there must be a misunderstanding about this; perhaps this call is a scam," Zhou Dakui, seeing that Zhang Xiaoli's expression was wrong, hurriedly explained.
"Right, right, it must be a scam, fake! Xiaoli, don't worry, our Xiaojun definitely wouldn't do that!" Xie Fenglan recovered her senses and also hurriedly explained.
"Alright, Uncle and Auntie, at a time like this, stop speaking well of Zhou Xiaojun. If it were really a scam call, why wouldn't they ask you to transfer money directly or ask for your bank card numbers? Whether it's true or false, won't we know once we go to the police station?" Zhang Xiaoli said with a gloomy face.
Listening to Zhang Xiaoli's words, the old couple was left speechless.
"Alright, Uncle and Auntie, stop explaining; instead of wasting time on this, you'd be better off going early. I'm heading to the police station first and will wait for you there."
Zhang Xiaoli dropped this sentence, walked straight out the door, went downstairs, and headed straight for her 911; she pulled open the car door, started the engine, and drove off without a moment's delay.
Seeing this scene, the couple Zhou Dakui and Xie Fenglan looked at each other in dismay.
"What are you still standing there for? Let's go!" Zhou Dakui snorted and said with a gloomy face.
"Sigh, how could this happen!" Xie Fenglan said in a daze, following Zhou Dakui as they walked toward the door.
