Chapter 257

Then he hoisted the two hooded figures onto his shoulder and quickly headed down the mountain.

At a certain spot at the foot of the mountain, others were already waiting specifically for them.

Watching the Wolf Tooth Special Forces squad disappear from sight,

Lu Shu also pushed Lu Xiaomian's wheelchair.

"Let's go, we're going home too."

Lin Fan and Song Jun hurriedly followed along together.

"Wait, let me send you off..."

In the end,

after arriving at the foot of the mountain,

Lu Shu took Lu Xiaomian onto a dark green military vehicle marked with Special Police,

with another Special Police vehicle following behind, plus two Armed Police vehicles,

and a dedicated escort police car in front; the two armed helicopters overhead had already flown away.

They drove home in such a grand procession,

and although no sirens were sounded along the way,

this kind of scene

still drew enormous attention.

Vehicles and pedestrians on the road, seeing a row of vehicles marked Special Police and Armed Police,

all thought something extraordinary must be happening in Yong'an City.

Upon returning to the old residential community where Lu Shu lived,

the security guard at the gate and the elderly ladies sunbathing

immediately gathered around, enjoying the spectacle immensely.

When they saw Lu Shu pushing Lu Xiaomian down from one of the Special Police vehicles,

the elderly men and women instantly recognized them.

"Oh! Isn't this Little Shu and Little Mian!"

"... Why are you coming back in this vehicle? And so many police and soldiers, even some carrying guns!"

"Hehehe, incredible! Little Shu is powerful now; the police personally escorted you back."

"Little Shu, you're not young anymore; Auntie Wang will find you a match. What kind do you want?"

In the eyes of the elderly men and women,

they couldn't distinguish between Special Police, Armed Police, or regular police,

thinking they were all good soldiers of the state.

Seeing such a grand procession personally escort Lu Shu and Lu Xiaomian back,

they all believed Lu Shu must have done something extraordinary.

Otherwise, how could there be such a grand procession?

After bidding farewell to the elderly men and women who loved to make a fuss,

Lu Shu pushed Lu Xiaomian toward the apartment building entrance.

Then he paused, his gaze drifting lightly toward Lin Fan and Song Jun following behind.

The two immediately understood and stopped in their tracks.

Lin Fan waved cheerfully,

"Then it's settled; we'll come over the day after tomorrow."

Lu Shu made no response, simply pushing Lu Xiaomian slowly into the corridor.

Only when Lu Shu's figure was no longer visible at all

did Lin Fan and Song Jun walk out of the residential community together.

"Hehe, it seems your State Security really wants him."

"They even escorted him right to his doorstep."

Song Jun sneered with a smile.

Lin Fan glanced sideways,

"As if your military doesn't want him."

"Then don't escort him if you're so brave?"

"Anyway, it's just the day after tomorrow."

"We'll see then whether it's your military or our State Security that gets to secure Lu Shu, this great weapon!"

As they spoke,

both fell silent simultaneously,

each pondering what method to use the day after tomorrow to recruit Lu Shu to their side.

Because whether it was Lin Fan or Song Jun,

both had actually realized

that Lu Shu held an attitude of complete indifference toward joining either side, or even whether to join at all!

In such a situation,

it would depend on who could offer Lu Shu the most tempting bargaining chip!

It all comes down to who can offer the most compelling bribe to Lu Shu!

Unknowingly,

The two walked in silence all the way to the entrance of the residential compound.

Song Jun glanced up,

and sneered with some disdain,

"Are those the people you called?"

"Looks like they're preparing to surround this compound and monitor him 24 hours a day?"

Lin Fan also looked up, frowning instantly,

those armed police and special police vehicles had not left after Lu Shu entered the compound.

Instead, the armed police and special police officers had already begun spreading out toward the surrounding buildings,

apparently searching for suitable observation spots to carry out 24-hour surveillance.

Upon seeing this,

Lin Fan immediately ran over and shouted with a hint of anger,

"Everyone, come back!"

"Don't go setting up 24-hour surveillance; this is just nonsense!"

The day after tomorrow is the final negotiation,

this stage is equivalent to the ambiguous phase; absolutely cannot let Lu Shu form a bad impression!

An armed police captain said somewhat awkwardly,

"But the orders given to us by higher-ups..."

Lin Fan sighed helplessly,

"Rest assured, I won't put you in a difficult position."

"I will make phone calls to coordinate this matter."

Saying this, Lin Fan walked aside, took out his phone, and made several calls in succession to coordinate and communicate.

When he finally returned, he showed his phone to the two captains of the armed police and special police respectively,

"Alright, the order to cancel the mission has come down."

"You can go back now; thanks for your hard work, brother."

Knowing the mission was canceled,

dozens of armed police and special police officers then got into their vehicles and drove away from this compound.

Watching the vehicles disappear around the bend,

Lin Fan stamped his foot in anger,

"Damn it, at least give us a ride back!"
