The memories of all humanity are awakening, except for mine.

Chapter 163 Jiang Chuan is here, no surprises

"When serving guests, you must smile, keep your left forearm and upper arm at a 90-degree angle, drape the handkerchief over your forearm, and consider the guests' needs while providing service..."

Wu Zhen was learning relevant service skills in the kitchen.

His face was full of displeasure, and impatient "ah, ah" sounds came rhythmically from his mouth.

"Alright, now that you understand, let's try out the service as a whole."

"what?"

"Mr. Du told me that if I refused to cooperate, I should call him."

"what."

"Please keep smiling."

"what."

Wu Zhen forced a rather stiff smile. He set out napkins, ashtrays, and wine glasses on a table, and then followed the standard procedure the other party had just described, word for word.

The waiter nodded, smiled, and said with surprise, "That's great, sir. You've learned it so quickly."

Wu Zhen revealed a confident smile, and he snorted coldly, "Of course! I am..."

The waiter interrupted him: "Your master told me I must praise you, but your smile needs improvement. Look at me, your smile needs to be like this..."

Wu Zhen: "Ah."

……

17: 45.

Sun Pingyun had just finished showering and was changing her clothes.

He arrived in casual clothes, but after taking a shower, he changed into a formal suit, dressed impeccably.

Once everything was ready, he sat on the sofa and did nothing but glance at his watch every now and then.

His every move was observed by those in charge of the operation.

Mu Zhao and the monitoring team confirmed the situation: "The suspicious seller has not yet appeared."

Fang He said, "He's been checking the time; the seller probably hasn't arrived yet."

Yang Zongliang asked with some concern: "What should we do if the seller doesn't show up?"

"After all, the seller has no stock left, so there's no need for him to make the transaction."

Fang He said, "These kinds of shady deals aren't based on honesty."

"If the seller doesn't come, it's fine to just catch Sun Pingyun. We can get information about the seller from him."

Mu Zhao nodded: "That's the only way."

“This smuggling ring must be eradicated completely; neither the buyers nor the sellers should be spared.”

"If we get a few more werewolves or vampires, we won't have enough manpower to catch them one by one."

While they were communicating, Du Shengjie just stared at the surveillance screen in front of him and didn't say a word.

At that moment, Yang Zongliang took a deep breath and said, "It moved."

He picked up the communication device and said:
"Attention all units!"

"The target is moving!"

……

Jiang Chuan leaned against the pool table, watching Tang Songming and Lin Ci brainstorming.

Tang Songming was anxiously thinking about how to solve the snooker puzzle Lin Ci had made, while Lin Ci was looking at Tang Songming, pondering how he should make his next snooker.

This scene has been going on for almost half an hour.

At first, Jiang Chuan watched with great interest, but now he has completely lost interest.

"Hey, it's lunchtime."

He said:
"It's time to go eat."

After Jiang Chuan finished speaking, Tang Songming and Lin Ci didn't even look up.

Lin Ci said, "You go first."

"We'll be there later."

Tang Songming didn't even speak, but simply nodded in agreement with Lin Ci.

Jiang Chuan had no choice but to send a message in the group.

Jiang Chuan: [The barbecue tonight is canceled. Who's going to eat at a restaurant now?]

Song Xi: [My sister and I will go later, Brother Chuan, you go first.]

Ai Zhe: [Where are you, Chuan Ge? Liang Cheng and I are waiting for you at the restaurant.]

Tian Tian: [Image]

In the picture, Tian Tian and Zhong Huahua are on a snack street, but it's unclear where they've gone.

However, it must be said that Tian Tian's photography skills are quite impressive. The entire snack street was brightly lit, and the two of them walked among the crowd with food in their hands, as if they were strolling through a temple fair.

Jiang Chuan put away his phone and reluctantly stepped into the elevator.

The elevator stopped at the 16th floor.

Liang Cheng was stunned when he saw Jiang Chuan in the elevator: "Why did you run away by yourself?"

Jiang Chuan: "You two were sleeping soundly, so I didn't disturb you."

"How was the massage? Did it feel good?"

Aizhe nodded, yawned, and said, "It's fine."

Jiang Chuan told them what the massage therapist had said, which made them laugh so hard.

Aizhe said, "Looks like we'll have to pay more next time. For a massage like this, we'll have to pay for three times the usual amount."

Jiang Chuan nodded: "It's your turn next time."

Ai Zhe laughed and said, "Since we're going to spend money, we'll definitely have to find a few female technicians next time."

"You don't even need to exert any effort."

"This money was well spent."

Liang Cheng glanced at Ai Zhe: "What? You're not satisfied with how much my brother Chuan spent on you today?"

Ai Zhe was taken aback, then gave an awkward laugh: "Just saying, just saying."

Ding!
The elevator doors opened, and the three of them stepped out.

The first thing you see is a huge circular restaurant, brightly lit, with a view of the entire city of Qing through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows.

The sun had already set, and skyscrapers rose and fell before their eyes, with a distant view of the sea.

The streetlights flickered, and vehicles streamed along the streets, creating a breathtaking scene of fleeting light and shadow.

At that moment, soothing music was just starting to play in the restaurant, and there weren't many diners eating under the warm lighting.

Ai Zhe couldn't help but sigh, "It's so good to be rich."

When will this kind of life become the norm?

Jiang Chuan and Liang Cheng shared the same sentiment; relaxing this afternoon made them feel that this kind of life was truly wonderful. It was their first time visiting such a high-class restaurant.

The three of them found a seat by the window and sat down. Liang Cheng took out his phone, opened the camera, and said, "Come on, Chuan Ge, Ai Zhe, let's take a picture together."

Jiang Chuan looked at the camera, but before he could even extend his finger, Liang Cheng had already pressed the shutter.

……

the other side.

Yang Zongliang, Fang He, and others are confirming Sun Pingyun's route of movement through surveillance footage.

I watched him get on the elevator with eight bodyguards, and then I watched him walk into the rooftop restaurant with a view.

Mu Zhao checked the time: "It's exactly six o'clock."

Fang He said into the communication device, "The lobby team should keep an eye out for any suspicious individuals."

Yang Zongliang asked the monitoring team, "Haven't you found any suspicious persons yet?"

Everyone looked at Yang Zongliang, and then saw Yang Zongliang shake his head helplessly.

Jingle bell bell bell!

Mu Zhao paused for a moment, then grabbed his phone and answered the call: "Hello? Is this Mr. Zhou?"

On the other end of the phone was Zhou Zhishan, a second-class rank member of the special field team who had met Jiang Chuan briefly that afternoon.

Zhou Zhishan nodded: "Our capture operation here has come to an end, and this vampire is now trapped."

"What do you mean? Are the Qing City authorities going to arrest him and take him back for further investigation?"

"Should we turn on the UV spotlight?"

Mu Zhao paused for a moment, then said, "I'll have to ask Dean Xu about this. Please wait a moment."

Yang Zongliang had already picked up his phone and dialed Chen Xingyang's number.

After a moment, Yang Zongliang said two words: "Kill him."

Mu Zhao nodded and said to Zhou Zhishan, "Just turn on the lights."

Zhou Zhishan: "Okay."

In a deserted, secluded alley, a vampire in a trench coat was running wildly, but was strangely spinning in circles.

His pale, handsome face was filled with panic, and his eyes were filled with fear. He didn't know why this alley was like an endless corridor in a nightmare, and he couldn't escape it no matter what. He couldn't see the end of the alley, nor could he see the Taoist priest in a dark gray robe and small round sunglasses standing in front of him, nor could he see the banner swaying beside him.

The four large characters "八字批命" (Eight Characters Fortune Telling) on ​​the banner seemed to be swaying on the banner cloth, dancing with the night wind.

At that moment, Zhou Zhishan hung up the phone, took out a flashlight, and studied it for a while before finding the switch.

Snapped!
The switch flicked, and an incredibly bright beam of light suddenly burst forth, illuminating the entire alley and enveloping the vampire who had been on the run for two days.

"what!!"

An extremely painful roar came from the vampire's mouth, but it instantly became weak. Holes began to appear in his throat, and all the parts of his body that were illuminated by the light began to burn fiercely, bursting into bright blue flames, like an enlarged will-o'-the-wisp.

The small round sunglasses perched on Zhou Zhishan's nose gleamed in the firelight, but he remained calm until he saw... his clothes and everything else completely reduced to ashes, before he turned off the lights.

"These foreign zombies won't work either."

"You'll be ruined if you just bask in the sun."

"This weakness is truly fatal."

A Taoist priest who hunts zombies awakens his memories and gains access to modern technology... making him an absolute nightmare for these evil creatures.

Zhou Zhishan muttered a few words to himself, then said to Mu Zhao on the other end of the phone, "It's done."

"If there's nothing else, we'll call it a day."

Mu Zhao hummed in response, "Thank you, you've worked hard."

Mu Zhao also heard the vampire's shrill roar. After hanging up the phone, he nodded to the others and said:
"The field operations have already closed in; now it's just a matter of us."

He suddenly stopped speaking and looked at the surveillance footage in front of him with a surprised expression.

"Jiangchuan?"

"Where are these three people?"

While they were focused on Sun Pingyun's surveillance footage, they didn't notice that Jiang Chuan and the other two were already seated inside the restaurant.

But despite the unexpected turn of events, Mu Zhao was not worried at all; on the contrary, he was pleasantly surprised.

Jiang Chuan's presence made them feel much more at ease.

In the previous operations, Jiang Chuan was a key figure who made great contributions.

The entire inspection team admired this young man, and even the person in charge, Chen Xingyang, praised Jiang Chuan highly.

At this moment, Yang Zongliang also spoke up, saying, "I'll send him a message."

"With him around, the chances of anything going wrong on this mission are much smaller."

……

Liang Cheng was flipping through the menu when he asked, "Brother Chuan, what do you want to eat?"

Jiang Chuan didn't know what to eat either. The main problem was that he had never seen any of the dishes on the menu before, such as orchid-shaped beef tendon jelly, West Lake beef soup, and abalone seafood rice...

At this moment, Jiang Chuan suddenly remembered the small restaurant that Wu Qingqing had taken him to... He remembered the braised pork and small potatoes there, and felt that was the kind of dish that should be served for dinner.

Thinking about this, he realized that he was out of place in such a high-end place.

Ai Zhe looked at them for a while, then said, "These are all set meals."

"It's not a single point."

"Eight hundred for a set."

Jiang Chuan was taken aback for a moment, but then felt much more relieved.

There's no need to worry about what to order with a set meal; no wonder there's only one main dish after looking around for so long.

"Then I'll take this one."

"Me too."

"Me too."

"..."

Jiang Chuan wanted them to order something different from what he ordered, so they could try more different dishes.

But just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by a ringing phone.

Upon checking the caller ID, Jiang Chuan saw that it was Yang Zongliang calling. Without thinking much of it, he answered the phone.

"Brother Yang, I..."

Yang Zongliang interrupted Jiang Chuan: "You and the suspect we're trying to arrest are in the same restaurant."

"He's three tables away from you. Just act normally, don't make a sound, and don't alert him."

"He had eight bodyguards with him, the strongest of whom was Ding Er."

"If anything goes wrong, you can take care of him while you're at it."

Jiang Chuan glanced discreetly over there and spotted the middle-aged man looking out the window at the night view. He then said with a hint of helplessness:
"Ok."
