Chapter 636 — You Caught Her?
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
But shortly after Qiu Lingshan was taken to the first transfer station, the signal had been lost. Had something gone wrong in between?
Liu Wangli's face was tight with tension, and so were the faces of everyone around him, all of them staring fixedly at the screen...
The tattooed man was no fool; having gone this long without incident, he naturally had his methods. Fearing that police infiltrators might come in carrying signal transmitters, he had installed jamming and shielding in the vehicles that picked people up, and all the more so throughout the headquarters. Apart from special landline phones, one could say there was no cell signal at all.
An Liwen's own phone, of course, was routed through call forwarding, so he could still receive calls.
The monitor screen flickered on, the surveillance camera's focus drew closer and closer, and at last An Liwen made out Qiu Lingshan's face. He let out a furious curse: "Fuck!"
"What is it, Wen-ge?" The tattooed man was stunned by An Liwen's reaction, at a loss as to why he had suddenly blown up like that. "Wen-ge, do you know her?"
"How could I not know her? Qiu Lingshan! Captain of the Criminal Investigation Unit at Songshan City Police Headquarters!" An Liwen's eyes went wide. "The very woman Chen Yuxuan's been chasing — and you went and dragged her in here?"
"Huh? You can't be serious? You brought the captain of the Criminal Investigation Unit in?" The tattooed man was dumbstruck. No wonder she had looked so familiar, he thought — she was the captain from the police station, a face that turned up on television all the time. He must have seen her before; it was only that Qiu Lingshan had taken over Yang Huaijun's post so recently that he had never paid her much mind. But this time the matter had blown up badly, and it would not be easy to bring things back under control. He had no idea how Brother Wen would deal with him — surely he would not have him killed?
At that thought, the tattooed man felt a chill of dread. He had seen An Liwen's ruthlessness for himself. An Liwen might look gentle and refined, but the tattooed man knew full well that he was a merciless man. An Liwen's elder brother had at least paid for his kidneys; An Liwen simply took what he wanted by force.
When it came to rivals in love, he would slice out a kidney without a second thought. Such savage methods were beyond what any ordinary man could bring himself to do. So the tattooed man's heart quaked with fear — would An Liwen finish him off to vent his fury? An Liwen had been in a foul mood all day to begin with, and to curry favor with him the tattooed man had meant to fetch him a pretty girl to toy with, never guessing that his good intentions would backfire and he would end up dragging the captain of the Criminal Investigation Unit in. Was he not just courting death?
At that thought, the tattooed man asked cautiously, a note of sorrow in his voice, "Brother Wen, I'm sorry — I've made a mess of things. If this really turns into trouble, I'll go out there and take the blame..."
