Chapter 375

Just as Zhao Desan was secretly happy and preparing to take Zhao Xue to get a room, he suddenly discovered a situation and gave Zhao Xue a look. As a police officer, Zhao Xue immediately became alert that something was wrong. Looking back, she found two young men in black short sleeves looking at them sneakily.

"Not good, someone is following us." Zhao Xue said.

Zhao Desan scanned the two young men in black with the corner of his eye, gave Zhao Xue a look, and said, "You go first. Let's separate. Find a hotel and send me a message. I'll shake them off and then meet up with you."

"No!" Zhao Xue said righteously, "I'm a police officer, I should be the one protecting you."

Zhao Desan took the opportunity to pat her smooth cheek gently and smiled, "You police officer aren't professional enough. Don't you want to know why they are following us?"

Zhao Xue then frowned slightly and asked, "Why?"

"I guess it must be that Gao Husheng and that corrupt director in your public security system know what we came to the provincial capital for. Otherwise, why would someone follow us? What do you think?"

Zhao Xue frowned and thought, then nodded and said, "Then take care of yourself. If anything happens, call me, okay?"

"You can go first with peace of mind. I'll lead them away and then come to meet you." Zhao Desan said with a smile.

So Zhao Xue looked at him reluctantly, quickened her pace, and walked ahead. Zhao Desan stood in place without moving, and the two men following them were also wandering around ten meters away. Only after Zhao Xue safely disappeared nearby did Zhao Desan hail a taxi and drive around the city. After a few laps, the black Nissan following him was shaken off. Only then did he change to another taxi. After getting in the car, he received a message from Zhao Xue, telling him the hotel name and room number.

A dozen minutes later, Zhao Desan appeared before Zhao Xue without a scratch.

They had shaken off the people following them, but finding Zhao Jiping next was a headache, leaving them with no way to start.

"Zhao Desan, you said that although we have arrived in the provincial capital, I don't know where Uncle Zhao is. What should we do?" Zhao Xue said anxiously.

Zhao Desan looked at her, rolled his eyes, and said, "You said Zhao Jiping is running a night market in the provincial capital?"

Zhao Xue nodded: "Yes, I only heard that he is running a night market in the provincial capital to make a living, but I don't know exactly where."

Zhao Desan racked his brains, stood up directly, and said, "It's like this, you wait for me at the hotel first. Stay here and don't run around. I'll go out and come back."

"Where are you going?"

"Don't worry about it, just stay here and wait for me." Saying this, Zhao Desan turned around and pulled the door open to go out.

Where to? Zhao Xue muttered and stomped her feet twice, then took out her phone to call him. Zhao Desan had already walked out of the hotel. As soon as the call connected, Zhao Xue asked, "Where are you going? Why didn't you tell me? I'm going with you too."

"I'm going to find news about your Uncle Zhao. I have acquaintances in the provincial capital. You be a good girl and stay in the room. I'll be back before dark." Zhao Desan hung up the phone like he was coaxing a child. Standing at the hotel entrance, he called his university classmate who was a civil servant in the provincial capital, but the number was disconnected. "Damn it!" he cursed angrily. Just as he was annoyed, a familiar face suddenly flashed through his mind. He thought of someone, the only woman in the provincial capital who made him feel good. Yes, that's right, it was Su Qing, the Minister of the Organization Department of the Provincial Committee.
