Chapter 400: Delay

"Stop the car! I need to use the bathroom!" He Yuzhu shouted.

Lin Wanning glared at him fiercely, "Are you fucking sick? You want me to stop now? If you have to go, just go in your pants!"

"If you don't stop, I really will go in my pants! Hurry up!" He Yuzhu squeezed his legs together, feigning agony.

"You're courting death!" Lin Wanning held the steering wheel with one hand and aimed her gun at He Yuzhu in the passenger seat with the other.

"You stinking bitch, I really can't hold it anymore!" He Yuzhu ignored her threat completely and continued.

"I knew you'd pull some tricks, but I didn't expect them to be this low-class." Lin Wanning sneered, "If you say one more word, I'll kill you right now!"

He Yuzhu revealed a provocative smile: "Heh! There aren't even any bullets in your gun."

"Don't try to play mind games with me; I've already played this trick to death!"

Before her voice had even faded, a key appeared out of thin air in He Yuzhu's hand, and the Handcuffs were opened in a flash.

Lin Wanning was stunned, staring at him fixedly, almost unable to believe it, and then she cursed furiously: "Bastard! You lied to me!"

"I'm not your man, so what if I lied to you?"

"I'll kill you!" Lin Wanning was completely enraged, and the muzzle of the gun was once again pressed hard against his heart.

He Yuzhu shook his head leisurely: "Go ahead and shoot! If I didn't have some real skills, I would have been killed by you dog secret agents eight hundred times over already."

Lin Wanning glared at him, her hand holding the gun beginning to tremble uncontrollably.

After a few seconds of a standoff, she suddenly swung her arm and threw the gun out the window, leaving only despair on her face.

He Yuzhu smiled at this moment and added slowly: "Actually, there were bullets in the gun; I was just lying to you earlier."

"Bastard!!! Then let's die together!!!" Lin Wanning completely lost control, roaring as she slammed the steering wheel, and the car swerved like a wild Mustang toward a thick willow tree on the side of the road!

He Yuzhu's reaction was fast as lightning; his left hand firmly restrained her arms, while his right hand quickly took control of the steering wheel!

Amidst the screeching sound of tires, the car twisted and tilted violently, eventually grazing the tree trunk narrowly before plunging into a deep ditch on the side of the road.

The front of the car slammed solidly into the dirt slope, and the entire windshield instantly shattered into a spiderweb pattern, crashing into pieces!

Thick smoke mixed with dust immediately billowed out from under the hood.

He Yuzhu kicked open the deformed door and mercilessly dragged the dazed Lin Wanning out from the passenger seat, throwing her onto the withered grass.

As soon as Lin Wanning landed, she rolled twice to dissipate the momentum and, without a moment's hesitation, pulled a Dagger from her leg binding and rose to stab at He Yuzhu's heart!

"Whoa! You stinking bitch, you're quite wild!" He Yuzhu teased while dodging backward.

His figure was like electricity, always nimbly avoiding the blade the moment it reached his body.

When Tian Dan arrived with her team, she saw Lin Wanning holding the Dagger, stabbing repeatedly as if she had gone mad.

Her moves were ruthless, all suicidal tactics; yet He Yuzhu acted as if he were playing, dodging easily time and again without even having his clothes touched.

"He Yuzhu, subdue her quickly, don't waste time!" Tian Dan said.

Hearing this, He Yuzhu's expression turned serious. Spotting an opening in Lin Wanning's defense, he clamped onto her wrist and gave it a light flick, causing the Dagger to drop to the ground.

His other hand had already pulled out the Handcuffs from his waist, and he quickly cuffed her hands; the entire sequence of movements took no more than the blink of an eye.

"Bastard! You don't keep your word!" Lin Wanning struggled, cursing in vain.

Tian Dan dragged He Yuzhu behind a small dirt mound nearby and scolded him immediately: "Are you fucking bold enough now? You dare to act on your own without notifying me! If something happened to the hostage, who could take the responsibility?"

He Yuzhu was already seething with anger, and upon being yelled at, he pulled out his credentials and slapped them into her hand: "I'm not serving this job anymore! If I keep working like this, I'll be pissed to death by your people before the secret agents even kill me!"

Tian Dan was taken aback; she had never seen He Yuzhu lose his temper like this. Stunned for two seconds, she raised her leg and kicked his calf: "You dare to quit on me? I..." The harsh words reached her lips, but looking at the credentials he had slapped back, she ultimately didn't spit them out.

He Yuzhu took a few heavy breaths, his tone softening slightly, yet still resolute: "Dan, it's not that I don't give you face. If that Zhou Hao stays working by your side, I really can't do this job. During the operation, he didn't care about the hostage's life at all; I am ashamed to be associated with such a person..."

He recounted the entire sequence of events from today, point by point.

After listening, Tian Dan was silent for a moment before saying in a low, slightly weary voice: "That kid... is angry at you. He always feels you are getting too close to me."

"What? Jealous?" He Yuzhu laughed out of extreme anger, "Then he's even less fit to be used! If he lets his emotions dictate his actions today, he might cost the whole team their lives tomorrow. One word: either I go, or he goes."

Tian Dan turned her face away and said: "His uncle is an important figure in the Ministry; I can't touch him."

"Then I'll go." After saying this, He Yuzhu turned and walked away without even looking back.

Tian Dan stood where she was, her lips moving, but in the end, she only shook her head.

In the interrogation room of the Public Security Bureau, the words "Confession leads to leniency, resistance leads to severity" were very large, and the lighting was that kind of bleak white that left no color on a person's face.

Lin Wanning had been sitting in silence for nearly an hour, saying nothing to any questions. Tian Dan was getting a bit anxious and said: "If you reveal your hidden base now, it will count as a merit, and when you are sentenced, it can be handled with leniency; otherwise, there is only a dead end!"

Lin Wanning suddenly raised her eyes, revealing a strange smile: "I've decided. You give me a roast duck from Quanjude, and after I eat it, I'll talk!"

Tian Dan was stunned, and then her temper flared up: "This is not a place for you to order food!"

"I'm hungry. If you won't even give me a roast duck, then even if I talk, it's a dead end anyway, so I might as well not talk."

Tian Dan stared at her, her chest heaving violently a few times, and suddenly she turned and roared toward the door: "Someone come in!"

Zhou Hao, who had been guarding outside the door, quickly pushed the door open and entered, his face still bruised.

Seeing it was him, Tian Dan ordered: "Go to Quanjude and buy a roast duck, go right now."

"I want a double portion of duck skin!" Lin Wanning added.

Zhou Hao looked at Tian Dan, then at Lin Wanning, seemingly wanting to say something.

Tian Dan finally exploded, slamming the table, and said: "This is an order! If you don't want to work, then fucking get out of the First Division!"

Zhou Hao's face turned pale; he muttered a few words and turned to run out.

Tian Dan was unwilling to waste time with Lin Wanning, so she found Li Hu to ask in detail about what happened today. Because she also didn't understand why He Yuzhu was so angry that he just quit on the spot.

Li Hu initially wanted to cover for Zhou Hao, but under Tian Dan's pressure, he finally told the truth.

"Zhou Hao has a good relationship with the clerk Xiaomei. Xiaomei told him a woman came to buy clothes and the Boss wouldn't sell... He judged that the woman was Lin Wanning and told us not to let He Yuzhu enjoy this credit all by himself..."

"All his cleverness is used on crooked paths!" Tian Dan scolded.

Just then, Zhou Hao walked in quickly carrying a food box, and Tian Dan stopped her questioning.

Lin Wanning opened the food box in a leisurely manner, picked up a piece of duck skin, spread the sauce, added duck meat and green onions, rolled it up, and put it in her mouth, savoring it carefully as if it were her last supper.

Lin Wanning ate the last roll, and the duck was eaten clean.

The clock pointed exactly to seven; Siqiang must have already left, so she picked up her handkerchief to wipe the corners of her mouth, looked up at Tian Dan, and said, "We live at Luoquan Hutong 23."

After hearing this, Tian Dan quickly walked out of the interrogation room, glanced at the Police in the lounge, and ordered, "Luoquan Hutong 23, let's go!"
