Chapter 52: Meeting a Familiar Face
"Don’t mention it, the past is hard to recall. But Old Zhao, I must warn you, never expose my identity, or else I’ll take down the entire police station." Chen Tianlong warned.
"Haha, of course, I wouldn’t dare to provoke you, not just a police station, but even an entire battalion couldn’t hold you." Zhao Bing knew this guy’s abilities, capable of anything from heaven to earth.
Chen Tianlong gave a bitter smile but quickly got to the point: "No matter how powerful I am, I’m still on your turf. I need your help to get out of here this time."
"Understood, I can bail you out for such a small matter, but I must remind you to be careful of the Hao Family people. This is all orchestrated by them." Zhao Bing didn’t say it explicitly, but Chen Tianlong surely knew whom he was talking about.
"Thanks, I’ll treat you to a drink another day."
With that, Chen Tianlong and Zhao Bing shared a brief embrace, then swiftly parted.
This wasn’t a suitable place to linger; Chen Tianlong had to leave. However, their brief embrace was witnessed by Zhang Yufei, who had been watching from nearby ever since she left.
She always felt that there was something fishy going on between this guy and the chief, and seeing them hug made her jaw drop in shock.
What’s going on?
Right at that moment, Zhang Yufei’s phone rang, and she hurriedly answered.
"Hello, is it Yufei? Release Chen Tianlong immediately, don’t ask for a reason, I’ll take responsibility if anything happens." Zhao Bing’s voice came through the phone.
"Alright."
After hanging up, Zhang Yufei froze on the spot. Everything she had just witnessed was real. The chief and Chen Tianlong were actually involved, which fueled her curiosity to the fullest.
Ten minutes later.
Chen Tianlong stood at the entrance of the police station, with the female cop Zhang Yufei next to him.
"Okay, Dragon Lady, no need to see me off; what if people misunderstand and think you’re my girlfriend?"
"Get lost!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yufei said, a bit enraged.
"I knew it..."
"What did you say?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yufei snapped back and saw that guy staring sneakily at her collar, instantly enraged: "You looking for trouble!"
With that, the female cop prepared to go forward and give Chen Tianlong some punishment, but just then, Chen Tianlong shouted, "Look! Someone’s robbing over there!"
Out of professional instinct, Zhang Yufei quickly turned to look, only to find everything peaceful, immediately fuming and wanting to pounce on him, only to see the guy quickly scurry to the roadside and get into a taxi.
"Chen Tianlong, you bastard!" Zhang Yufei stomped her foot hard, eyes blazing as she glared ahead, watching the disappearing taxi, suddenly feeling a bit dazed.
In the car, Lin Wushuang and Lu Xiaoyu were anxiously waiting, relieved to see Chen Tianlong coming out of the police station.
"Tianlong, you got out so quickly?" Lu Xiaoyu asked somewhat surprised.
"Oh, did you want me to be locked up?" Chen Tianlong gave a bitter smile.
"Of course not, it’s good to be fine; Wushuang was worried earlier." Lu Xiaoyu said, turning the conversation towards Lin Wushuang.
"Xiaoyu, go to hell, what does this have to do with me, only a ghost would care about him." Lin Wushuang denied.
Chen Tianlong grinned bitterly, then took a deep breath, feeling there was no danger after all, but Hao Jian was too vicious. Keeping him at South Sea No.1 Middle School was bound to be trouble; he had to find a way to get rid of him.
After sending the two home, Chen Tianlong didn’t stay for dinner but mentioned to Lin Batian he had something to do and drove off.
As for what he was going to do, Lin Wushuang didn’t really care, after all, Chen Tianlong wasn’t her boyfriend, she couldn’t interfere in his personal matters.
Chen Tianlong drove all the way to South Sea No.1 Middle School...
In about half an hour, Chen Tianlong’s BMW X6 arrived at the school gate of South Sea No.1 Middle School, and standing on the right side of the gate was a beauty wearing a long white dress.
"Mengting, over here!" Chen Tianlong opened the car door and waved vigorously.
Wu Mengting was looking around and didn’t expect Chen Tianlong to be right in front of her, instantly delighted, she quickly ran over.
At this moment, Chen Tianlong finally saw clearly, Wu Mengting was wearing a pair of light pink high heels, her flowing long hair tossed by the breeze, casually scattered, looking very comfortable.
Chen Tianlong quickly stepped out of the car, opened the passenger door, and let Wu Mengting in.
The two had met pretending to be a couple, and by coincidence, Chen Tianlong saved her from a dangerous situation. Wu Mengting’s feelings for Chen Tianlong were quite profound; she felt he was her guardian angel, always appearing when she needed help most.
"Haha, didn’t expect you’d give me so much face!" Wu Mengting smiled charmingly, showing deep dimples, extremely enchanting.
"Of course, someone said they’ve already fallen for me. If I don’t come, I’d really be losing face." Chen Tianlong joked.
Upon hearing this, Wu Mengting’s pretty face flushed slightly, that familiar feeling, humorous with a hint of ambiguity, making her feel irresistibly drawn.
"Beauty, where shall we go for dinner?" Chen Tianlong recalled that Wu Mengting had said she’d pick the place, so he didn’t decide on his own.
"West Street Food City, there’s a restaurant there that’s especially tasty, plus I love their little cakes!" Wu Mengting grinned, revealing her ultimate goal.
"Alright, you’re treating, so you call the shots!" Chen Tianlong wasn’t picky about food; wherever the beauty liked was fine with him.
After all, with a beauty accompanying him, everything tasted delicious.
After another twenty-minute drive, they quickly arrived at their destination, West Street.
West Street is the second most bustling market street besides South Sea city center, located three kilometers from the west gate of Phoenix University; Wu Mengting and the others liked to go there for dormitory gatherings regularly.
Indeed, after getting out of the car, even though it was nearly eight o’clock, West Street Food City was still crowded with people, showcasing its liveliness and prosperity.
Wu Mengting was happy, and for a moment, forgot herself, pulling Chen Tianlong’s hand as they headed towards the restaurant. Chen Tianlong was first surprised, then felt the gentle touch of the beauty’s small hand, but didn’t make a big fuss.
Honestly, he really liked this feeling, although he didn’t know if Wu Mengting did it on purpose, at this moment, he admitted, he was quite enjoying it!
Damn, how could you not enjoy it? Being asked out by a beauty school belle and having her initiate holding hands, this was definitely on the road to being hit on!
Though it wasn’t quite like his style, the feeling was still somewhat acceptable.
