Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 739 I'm coming right away

The reason the two of them were able to drink so much tonight was not only because the atmosphere was right, but also because Chen Shu's emotions were much more stable after arriving in Yunnan Province compared to when he was in Dongzhou.

Especially today, Chen Chuan and Zhu Yiba clearly felt that Chen Shu seemed to have let go of his burdens, so the two good friends were also much more relaxed and felt that bringing Chen Shu to Yunnan Province was a very correct decision.

For the rest of the drinking session, the two did not invite any other women. They drank two whole bottles of Jägermeister back and forth until nearly 3 a.m., when the bar closed.

Otherwise, according to Zhu Yiba, we should have a few more bottles of beer to clear our throats and rinse our mouths.

Zhu Yiba was doing alright, but Chen Chuan looked quite drunk. He could barely walk and had to rely on Zhu Yiba for support to keep himself steady.

Walking to the Huoxi sedan parked on the side of the road, Zhu Yiba took out his phone and fiddled with the designated driver app for a while, only to find that the app was open but kept displaying "Searching for signal".

He looked up and around, feeling that this place wasn't exactly the suburbs or particularly remote, so why was the cell phone signal so worrisome?

Kunming is the provincial capital!
"Wow!"

Chen Chuan flung away Zhu Yiba's hand, stumbled a few steps, knelt on the ground, and began to vomit violently, spraying out alcohol and snacks. His back rose and fell rapidly with each retching.

Zhu Yiba walked to the side and squatted down, gently patting Chen Chuan's back while thinking that the other party probably wouldn't go far in this state.

Once Chen Chuan had calmed down a bit, Zhu Yiba took out his phone and glanced at it a few more times. He wondered why Huawei phones, which were supposed to have the best signal in the world, couldn't find a single signal on the streets of this provincial capital.

Did the operator's base station malfunction in the middle of the night?
Or is there something wrong with my own phone, which is so far ahead of the competition?

Zhu Yiba switched to the ride-hailing app on his phone, looked at the words "No Signal" in the upper right corner of the screen, and cursed under his breath, thinking that advertisements were really killing people.

After thinking for a moment, he reached into Chen Chuan's pocket, pulled out the iPhone, grabbed the other man's head, and held it close to his face. After unlocking it, he found that it also had no signal.

"It seems there's a problem with the carrier."

Zhu Yiba stood up, looked at Chen Chuan who was practically lying on the ground asleep, glanced at the empty street, and finally stared at the luxury car that Chen Chuan had just bought, which didn't even have license plates yet. After estimating the distance to the hotel, which was a few hundred meters away, he decided to drive the car to the hotel himself.

Zhu Yiba hoisted Chen Chuan and tossed him into the back seat. He opened the car door, got into the driver's seat, and tossed the temporary paper license plate from under the windshield to under the passenger seat. Then, based on his subconscious observations over the past few days, he started the car smoothly and focused all his attention on driving towards the hotel.

Luckily, both of the only two traffic lights along the way were green, so there was no obstruction. In no time, the car arrived at the five-star hotel where we were staying.

The hotel's vehicle entrance was blocked by a large iron gate. Because it was the middle of the night, the gate did not open automatically when it saw a vehicle preparing to enter, unlike during the day.

Zhu Yiba honked the horn, and the security guard on duty in the gatehouse jogged out to ask the reason. After learning that it was a guest checking in, he pressed the automatic door opening button.

"What the hell is this? This is the first time I've ever seen a five-star hotel with its doors closed! Ugh... I feel nauseous and want to throw up." Chen Chuan, lying in the back row, probably noticed what was happening outside and mumbled his complaints.

"If you can't drink, don't try to drink so much," Zhu Yiba casually admonished.

Fortunately, Chen Chuan's head was throbbing at the moment. If this young master Chen, who was known as the unshakeable nightclub man of Dongzhou, heard that someone was complaining about his poor drinking capacity, it would be worse than killing him. He would rather vomit to death.

While waiting for the door to open, a black Mazda slowly pulled up a short distance behind Zhu Yiba's Horch. A young man wearing a baseball cap got out of the passenger seat, jogged to Zhu Yiba's side, and knocked on the window. Zhu Yiba glanced at him and rolled down the window.

The young man wearing a baseball cap looked somewhat nervous and sly. Any normal person could tell at a glance that something was wrong with him. If he encountered a police officer patrolling the roadside, he would be the first one to be arrested and have his ID checked.

The man in the baseball cap widened his eyes and gave a thumbs up: "Dude, your car is really awesome, it looks like it's worth a fortune."

People who come out in the middle of the night are generally not decent people, and wearing a hat and sunglasses is just asking for trouble.
Zhu Yiba coldly asked, "What is it?"

The man in the baseball cap bowed and scraped, his attitude respectful, and his speech became smoother: "Brother, your car scratched my car's rearview mirror."

Zhu Yiba, who had already been drinking, was initially flustered. If this attracted the traffic police, it would be a big problem, and he didn't know how to respond for a moment.

The man in the baseball cap seized the opportunity to approach, glanced at Chen Chuan who was lying on the back row, repeatedly rubbed his nostrils, and said with a grin, "Brother, sorry, I've caught a cold recently, and my nose is a bit stuffy."

"Let's talk inside." By this time, the hotel doors were already halfway open. Without thinking, Zhu Yiba stepped on the gas, drove the car directly into the hotel, and then followed the spiral passage into the underground parking lot.

During a break from driving, Zhu Yiba reviewed the scene along the way and was absolutely certain that he hadn't scratched any vehicles. Then, recalling the lack of signal outside the bar earlier, he immediately realized that someone had deliberately blocked the signal to scam him.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yiba was both amused and exasperated. Back when he was on a mission outside the mountains in Yunnan Province, one of his tricks was to use the blocking of cell phone signals to force the other party to come out of the closed room.

Unexpectedly, the tables have turned, and now the same trick has fallen on my head.

But since I did drink and drive, it would be a big mistake if I got caught. If the test result showed that I was driving under the influence, it could involve criminal offenses.

Hehe, at worst it's just changing clothes, what's the big deal?
Zhu Yiba's calm demeanor was, in fact, a calm born of self-abandonment.

After parking the car in a corner, Zhu Yiba glanced back at Chen Chuan, who was fast asleep in the back seat. Considering the unique joint liability within the public security system, he finally took out his phone and dialed Chen Shu's number.

"Chen Da, I was drinking and driving, and someone tried to extort money from me. Chen Chuan is drunk and asleep in the back seat. He and the car are both in the hotel parking lot downstairs, in lot number 256. The other party is still at the hotel entrance and will probably come down in a bit."

"Did you call the police?"

"No. I feel like it should cost money."

The voice on the other end of the microphone remained silent for a long time. Just when Zhu Yiba thought the other person was also having trouble making a decision, he was surprised to hear a sentence that was completely different from his usual style.

"They're probably after money too, otherwise they would have called the police already. Find a chance to run away."

"Run away?" Zhu Yiba was still wondering if there was something wrong with his ears when another sentence came from the other end, which reassured him a lot. It was that simple.

"I am coming over now."

"toot toot"
