Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 318 Feeling Relaxed
Once everyone was in the car, Zhu Chaoran excitedly boasted to Zhang Yang about how hard and tiring the rescue had been for them.

Chen Chuan picked up the conversation, saying that since it was a rare opportunity to come to North X, they could stay for a few days before going back, making a boastful joke and asking her, who had arrived earlier, to show everyone the way.

As Xiao Qiang drove, he turned the steering wheel with a smile, repeatedly saying, "Amazing, amazing! Brother Shu is really amazing, he can even find people here, it's like a dream."

Now that she was out of danger, Zhang Yang was completely relaxed. Looking at the familiar faces around her, she even thought about going back to the company to retrieve her ID and phone.

On the way back to the hotel, Zhang Yang recounted his terrifying experiences over the past few days to everyone.

"You mean the boss slit the throat of one of his men in front of everyone in a private room at the restaurant?" Chen Shu asked doubtfully.

Zhang Yang nodded, patted his slightly puffed-out chest, and said with lingering fear, "His subordinate only stole some money from the company, and the boss killed him. Blood was spurting all over my face, it scared me to death. These people are really ruthless. And let me tell you, they also have a processing plant, inside..."

Chen Shu didn't listen to Zhang Yang's next words. He was just wondering how such a ruthless person who had risen up in this cannibalistic world could let them leave so easily.

He glanced at Achai, who was sitting in the passenger seat listening intently to Zhang Yang's story, and asked him, "Achai, we want to leave X North tonight, can you arrange that?"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

When Ah Chai came to his senses, he was a little surprised by the man's caution and timidity. Just now, he had stood there with a gun pointed at his forehead without flinching.

"Boss, sure, that's fine. But why don't you stay for a few more days before you leave? You've already bought such a luxurious car, it wouldn't be worth it if you didn't use it for a few more days."

In North X, for some reason, food is very expensive, but cars are very cheap. A few days ago, Chen Chuan bought this Toyota Alphard, which had probably been used many times, for tens of thousands of yuan.

Zhu Chaoran, quick-witted as ever, immediately grabbed Chen Chuan and bombarded him with questions after learning the car's price, eager to tap into the domestic used car market and sell off the cars here. However, it was clear that this was not a path for him.

Many of the cheap cars in North X come from (Xiao Rizi), and the cars there are all right-hand drive, which does not meet the driving habits and vehicle requirements of people in China.

Chen Shu shook his head, looked at everyone, and said in a deep voice, "If that boss had asked us for some ransom or something according to the rules, I wouldn't be worried. We offended him in front of his men, and given his personality, if he doesn't want money, he'll definitely want our lives next."

Everyone in the car gasped, the atmosphere heavy. They immediately agreed to Chen Shu's suggestion, and instead of going back to the hotel, they headed straight for the border with A-Chai leading the way.

The second floor of the hotel.

Brother B and a dozen others squeezed into a small room, with a timid old lady at the front desk standing to the side.

Grabbing a few pieces of clothing that had been thrown on the bed, Brother B slammed them into the old woman's face: "You old hag, what time is it? Why haven't they come back yet? Tell me! Did you send them a message?"

The old woman waved her hands in panic and immediately knelt on the ground: "Boss, how could I possibly inform those outsiders? As soon as you arrived, I opened the room across the street for you!"

Too lazy to listen to any explanation, Brother B raised his foot and kicked the old woman hard.

The old woman's forehead slammed against the bedpost with a loud thud, drawing a line of blood. She didn't bother wiping it away, and began kowtowing repeatedly in the room.

"Boss, I really don't know!" "I really didn't report it."

Just then, one of his men squeezed into the room and whispered a few words in Brother B's ear: "Brother B, the boss checked the surveillance footage from the KTV and found out that the group came with a stowaway named Achai. He's probably leading them on their escape now. Some of us have crossed the border with him a few times and know their usual routes. The boss wants us to go directly to the border and intercept them."

B, with his pointed chin and monkey-like face, recalled the big boss's sinister smile from earlier. He imitated it with a few sinister laughs and said in a shrill voice, "Let's go! Grab our weapons and cut off their retreat!"

Before leaving, he didn't forget to kick the old man kneeling in front of him aside, and walked down the aisle without looking back.

A group of people rushed downstairs, and several vans parked on the roadside were immediately filled with people.

After waiting by the roadside for all his men to get into the car, Brother B jumped into the white Toyota Prado parked at the front.

"Beep! Beep! Beep!"

He arrogantly honked his horn on the road and led the convoy away at high speed.

The mountain roads in Xbei are in extremely poor condition, and Zhu Chaoran dares not drive fast at all. Moreover, there are many forks in the road, and even a local like Achai, who is used to driving on rough roads, can easily give the wrong directions if he is not careful.

It was pitch black at night, and streetlights were a luxury on the terrible roads. The Toyota Elf, after a long and bumpy ride, finally reached its end.

The group tacitly abandoned their car and began hiking.

Chen Shu had injured his foot and could only walk with crutches. Without the stretcher and strong men who had carried him before, the team's progress was inevitably slowed down, much slower than when they had taken motorcycles up the mountain.

However, trusting Chen Shu's judgment, everyone focused on their journey and didn't say much. During the trip, Zhang Yang, despite being a woman, gritted her teeth and kept up, even helping the ailing Chen Shu along the way.

Several hours passed before the group reached the shore. Because the decision to cross the border was made on short notice, many preparations had not been completed, and there were no kayaks waiting on the shore as expected.

While busy starting a fire, Achai apologized, "Boss, I didn't bring a satellite phone with me since this was a last-minute trip. So I don't know exactly what time the boat will arrive, but there are boats coming and going every night, so we'll just wait."

Chen Shu nodded: "It's not your fault, we were in a hurry to get back. By the way, thank you for your help on this trip. Without your help, we wouldn't have found the person so easily."

Short and dark-skinned Acha shrugged and said honestly, "Since I've taken the boss's money, I'm bound to do a good job."

"Money is money, and helping is helping is a separate matter. Ah Chai, I'll remember this favor. If you need anything next time you come to China, you can come to me."

After speaking, Chen Shu looked over at Chen Chuan, the big spender of this rescue operation. He saw Chen Chuan carrying a heavy mobile phone locator and chatting casually with Zhu Chaoran, Xiao Qiang and others.

With entry into the country imminent, everyone was naturally relaxed.
