Chapter 50: Chapter 42: Road TerrorSure enough, just as Lin Mu had retreated to his room, Zhou Xun already dressed, emerged from the bathroom, and turned on all the indoor lights. "Brother Lin, I’m ready, you can come out!" "Oh, okay, do the underwear I bought fit? If they don’t fit, I can still go exchange them for you!" As he spoke, Lin Mu’s eyes were fixed intently on Miss Zhou’s chest. Feeling uncomfortable being stared at, Zhou Xun said, "Brother Lin, you’re so funny. It’s so late, where are you going to exchange them?" Seeing Lin Mu still staring hard at her chest, she thought maybe she hadn’t washed herself properly, sniffed herself, and found no smell, "Uh, Brother Lin, what are you looking at? Do I have something dirty on me?" "Uh, no," Lin Mu realized his rudeness and quickly withdrew his ogling gaze, "I just wanted to see if the clothes I bought fit you." "They fit just fine!" Zhou Xun replied shyly, "Thank you so much, for running around to buy things for me so late at night!" "Oh, it’s no trouble at all..." "You should rest early; you have work tomorrow!" Zhou Xun thought talking about these topics with a man late at night would eventually lead to trouble, so she politely but firmly said goodbye. "Then you should rest early too, see you tomorrow!" "See you tomorrow!" S~eaʀᴄh the nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Zhou Xun said as she casually walked back to her room, Lin Mu watched the appealing figure disappear around the corner, reluctantly withdrawing his gaze and returned to his room to sleep. Another bright and sunny morning, inside the new office building of the Wancheng City Public Security Bureau, a charming sleeping beauty lay slumbering in a large swivel chair, it was the new captain of the Wancheng Criminal Investigation Team, Qi Manlin. Qi Manlin is a true workaholic! To solve the case of Sophie’s assassination, she and her colleagues worked through the night without sleeping and re-interrogated the Ghost Shadow Assassin. It was only after organizing all the case files and preparing the recordings for archiving that it was already past midnight. Other colleagues had long gone home, leaving her alone in the office; drowsiness overcame her, so she decided to just crash in the office for the night. Seeing Lin Mu’s ogler face made her especially irritated. She had a fitful sleep until a melodious ringing woke her up. She grabbed the alarm clock and smashed it twice until it finally quieted down, but as soon as she relaxed her grip, it started ringing again on the desk, "Ding dong, ding dong, hurry up and get up, hurry up and get up..." Gosh! Qi Manlin threw the alarm clock doll against the opposite wall, and then it slid down the wall into the trash can, falling silent, broken! However, after this commotion, Qi Manlin was no longer sleepy, guessing that the leaders and colleagues would arrive soon! At this moment, her phone rang, "Hello, this is Qi Manlin, what is it?" "Captain Qi, it’s Bai Kaixin. There was just a report from a resident in Jin Xia New District claiming a murder occurred in the basement there, the victims are three nightclub girls. According to our police informants, it seems like there have been murders happening there involving the Zombie Gang, possibly a murder for hire due to disputes over prostitution fees, so Director Gao has ordered you to rush to the scene immediately to solve the case..." "Where is Director Gao?" "In a meeting!" "What about you? Why don’t you handle it first?" "Accompanying Director Gao in the meeting..." Uh, this Bai Kaixin, he has always considered flattering more important than doing actual work! No time to waste, and Qi Manlin is typically impatient, so she immediately headed to the garage, started her personal police car, and drove towards Jin Xia New District. Just as Qi Manlin’s police car had driven a short distance, an old Jetta silently followed her, neither too fast nor too slow, keeping a moderate speed, enough not to lose her but also not close enough to catch attention. And indeed, Qi Manlin did not notice. Inside the old Jetta, there were two people. If you looked carefully, you could see that one had a zombie tattoo on his arm and the other had a mummy tattoo; these two were members of the Zombie Slayer Gang, the slightly chubby one was the Zombie, and the slimmer one was the Mummy. The one driving was the Zombie, and he had good skills, keeping a constant thirty-meter distance from Qi Manlin’s police car, just far enough not to be discovered by her. At this moment, the tall and slim Mummy in the car behind was chanting, gesturing their action route with his hands. "Zombie, speed up and stay on that chick’s tail. Soon we will reach the outer ring road, then you directly accelerate to overtake and block her, if she gets out of the car, I’ll go grab her." "Hmm, yes, let’s do that!" Twenty meters ahead, Qi Manlin was still munching on some leftover snacks in the car, listening to the hit pop song, ’Little Apple’: You’re my little dear little apple No matter how much I love you, it’s not too much Your red little face warms my heart Ignites the fire of my life Fire, fire, fire, fire... Bang! A car in front of her suddenly frantically overtook her, and at the same time slowed down, causing her to crash into the rear of the car in front with great momentum.
