Chapter 206: So You're Afraid Too

The words about what price it costs to keep a college student now came to his lips, but Yu Dazhang forced them back down.

"I will send you an experimental report shortly, one that the researcher conducted last year."

Yu Dazhang spoke in a commanding tone:

"This report is the evidence. Keep an eye on him; a colleague will arrive to support you immediately."

Liu Miao understood and immediately asked:

"After the arrest, should we bring him back right away?"

Yu Dazhang glanced at the time; it was already two-thirty in the afternoon.

Even if the supporting officers set off now, the fastest they could reach Jin Ling University would be past five o'clock.

Bringing the person back would then push the time to nine at night.

There was no time.

"Do not bring the person back for now."

Yu Dazhang thought for a moment and said:

"Find a nearby police station and interrogate him there. If you extract any information regarding Liu Qi, contact me immediately."

After ending the call, the four supporting officers Li Jun had summoned arrived at the office.

Upon learning they would be working a case with Yu Dazhang, the smiles on the four men's lips were impossible to suppress.

Who in the entire branch station didn't know this fatty's capabilities now?

As long as one was with him, earning merit was as simple as drinking water or eating a meal.

Ma Jian was the example.

Nearly thirty years old, he hadn't achieved anything respectable in all these years.

Yet after going on duty with Yu Dazhang for a few days, he solved a special case.

In the eyes of the other criminal police in the detachment, Ma Jian's personal Third-class merit was simply picked up for free.

"Dazhang, just give the orders," one of the officers said excitedly.

The other three stared at Yu Dazhang with expectant faces.

Why are they acting like they've been injected with chicken blood... Yu Dazhang secretly glanced at Li Jun.

This was in the branch commander's office; giving orders here would make Captain Li wonder what he thought of him.

"Captain Li, please give instructions," Yu Dazhang straightened his chest before Li Jun.

No matter how urgent, the primary and secondary roles still had to be distinguished.

Captain Li looked at him and said in a bad mood:

"Alright, stop pretending. Hurry up."

Although he said this with his mouth, he was quite satisfied with Yu Dazhang in his heart.

"You two set off right now," Yu Dazhang casually assigned two officers:

"Go to Jin Ling University and meet up with Liu Miao to assist him in the arrest operation."

"Yes." After agreeing, the two turned and left.

Yu Dazhang then looked at the remaining two officers:

"You two come with me."

One hour later.

Below Zhengyang Group.

Two plainclothes criminal police officers walked out of the main gate, came to the parking lot nearby, and got into an off-road vehicle.

"How is it?" Yu Dazhang, in the driver's seat, asked.

"We asked," one of the officers replied:

"Liu Qi was working at the company today and is currently attending a meeting; she is expected to work until six in the evening."

The other officer added:

"We approached her under the pretext of seeking cooperation and did not reveal our identities, but we did not see her in person. The front desk receptionist said that seeing President Liu requires an appointment first."

Yu Dazhang glanced at the time on his phone and said to the two of them:

"We will wait here for now. You two keep an eye on the entrance; if you see her come out, tell me immediately."

As a senior vice president of Zhengyang Group, Liu Qi was naturally not someone one could just see whenever they wanted.

Before they went to inquire, Yu Dazhang had already anticipated this.

He could not call to make an appointment with her this time.

Liu Qi must have known the news that Ceng Ceng Lisi had been brought to justice, so inviting her now in the capacity of a police officer would surely make her overthink things.

Dealing with someone like Liu Qi, who likes to play mind games, requires catching them off guard; one cannot give her time to react.

After giving instructions, Yu Dazhang took out his phone and called Ye Zhiyu.

The other party only answered the call just as the ringtone was about to end.

"Officer Yu, why do you always look for me when I am sleeping?"

Ye Zhiyu's voice sounded very exhausted, as if he would fall asleep again in the next moment. "No choice; who made your biological clock exactly opposite to that of normal people?"

After making a teasing remark, Yu Dazhang switched to a serious tone:

"I need your help today."

On the other end of the line, Ye Zhiyu fell silent for a few seconds, then hesitantly spoke:

"Um... finding a job like the one I have now is actually quite difficult, so..."

Yu Dazhang was too lazy to play riddles with him and cut him off directly:

"The reward increases by one thousand. Take a taxi over; travel expenses will be reimbursed."

"Send me the address." Ye Zhiyu's voice rose a few notches, and she sounded completely energized:

"I'm heading over right now."

Does she really have to be this mercenary… Yu Dazhang really wanted to cover his face.

Forty minutes later, Ye Zhiyu took a taxi to the parking lot.

After getting in the car, he greeted everyone.

Error-free, first release, full content, all here!

Yu Dazhang saw her eyes bloodshot, her face weary, and felt a bit reluctant to disturb her:

"Sleep in the car for a bit. When it's time to move, I'll call you."

"Sure." Ye Zhiyu didn't stand on ceremony either. After answering, she leaned back in the seat and rested her eyes, falling asleep in no time.

Another hour passed, and Yu Dazhang's phone rang.

The moment it connected, Liu Miao's voice came through from the other end:

"The person has been taken into custody. We're heading to the nearby police station now and should be able to start the interrogation in about fifteen minutes."

"Good." Yu Dazhang acknowledged, then said:

"Once the interrogation starts, take a photo of the lab technician and send it to me."

After ending the call, Yu Dazhang checked the time again.

Five-thirty in the afternoon.

He woke Ye Zhiyu, waited another ten minutes, and as six o'clock was about to arrive, Yu Dazhang gave the order:

"Move out."

The four got out of the car and walked briskly into Zhengyang Group.

Arriving at the front desk, Yu Dazhang flashed his credentials:

"What floor is Liu Qi on?"

The receptionist had never seen anything like this and answered without hesitation:

"On… the sixteenth floor."

Yu Dazhang didn't dare delay and said to the female receptionist:

"Please take us up."

It sounded like a request, but carried an undeniable, unquestionable force.

Soon, the group took the elevator to the sixteenth floor and, led by the female receptionist, stopped outside an office door.

"Who are you? How did you come up without an appointment?"

A professional woman who looked like a secretary walked over, casting a cold gaze at the group.

Yu Dazhang ignored her and pushed the door open directly. The female secretary was blocked outside by two officers.

Inside the office, Liu Qi was sitting behind her desk, flipping through documents.

The door was suddenly pushed open. She merely furrowed her brow slightly and glanced up at the arrivals.

Yu Dazhang smiled and waved at her, then walked over and sat down in front of her desk.

"Officer Yu, barging into someone's office isn't very polite."

Liu Qi's expression showed a hint of anger as she closed the document in her hand.

"If there's any work to hand over, do it now." Yu Dazhang's smile didn't fade:

"You still have the right to make phone calls, but you'll have to make them in front of me."

"What do you mean?" Liu Qi frowned.

Yu Dazhang didn't answer, but instead asked:

"You know Ceng Ceng Lisi, don't you?"

The instant she heard the name "Ceng Ceng Lisi," Liu Qi's chin lifted slightly and her brow unconsciously drew tight upward.

Yu Dazhang's smile deepened.

That was a sign of panic.

Even though she tried hard to hide it, her micro-expressions had betrayed her.
