Shocking! The young educated youth had just arrived and was already clashing with spies.

Chapter 692 At the same time, he thought about what Lu Jianshe was going to do.

Huo Baohua wanted to refuse Zhou Yichen's suggestion, but thinking that if he got into trouble, it would cause them trouble, he ultimately didn't say anything.

Furthermore, even if his matter is brought up, it may not necessarily be implemented.

That's just how the world is. There are good people and bad people everywhere. Whether it's in a research institute or a small research group in an arms factory, there will be all sorts of complicated human calculations. He's already used to it.

"Oh well, whatever."

Thinking about these things made Huo Baohua lose his spirits. He waved his hand and walked out unsteadily.

Just then, Zhou Wen arrived with his men. Chu Xin had originally planned to drag one spy back with each hand, but seeing that the men who were supposed to do the work had arrived, she immediately stopped and felt relieved.

Yang Zheng, however, was unwilling to go with them.

He lowered his voice and said to Zhou Yichen, "I was chased here by Lu Jianshe's guards. What if they search the area and find me with you? Wouldn't that expose you too?"

Unable to confirm whether the vicinity was safe, he was better off acting alone.

Zhou Yichen shook his head firmly, "That's impossible. You must leave with me, and you're too badly injured to see a doctor immediately."

The reason for choosing to investigate secretly was to avoid alerting Lu Jianshe and prevent him from taking desperate measures, but all of this was insignificant compared to the safety of his own brother.

Chu Xin overheard their "whisper" clearly and immediately released her mental energy to investigate the situation in the area.

Then he turned around and deliberately said, "Are you going or not? Yang Zheng, you don't want Zhou Yichen to carry you, do you? It's only a few steps, you don't have to be so fussy."

"Alright, let's hurry up and go. There's a main street just across the alley behind this courtyard. Zhou Wen and the others parked the car there. Even if you want to be lazy, you'll have to walk over to get in the car."

He then grinned mischievously and said to Zhou Wen, "If he doesn't leave, call two people over to lift him into the car. It won't embarrass him; at most, he'll be mistaken for an accomplice of a spy."

These seemingly joking words suddenly jolted Yang Zheng awake.

Yes, he could easily blend in with the prisoners the Special Branch was arresting and leave.

Thinking of this, he immediately lowered his head, covered his head with his hands, and walked out.

Zhou Wen twitched his lips and stepped forward to support him. "If you're going to pretend, at least make it convincing. No spy would be as proactive as you."

When it was just him and Chu Xin left, Zhou Yichen finally asked the question that had been on his mind, "Do you already know?"

In fact, Chu Xin already knew quite a bit about Lu Jianshe. There was no need for Zhou Yichen to hide his investigation from her. It was just that it was his private matter and the girl usually didn't like to meddle in other people's business except for work, so he didn't tell her.

Chu Xin stepped out the door, feigning surprise as she turned back, "What?"

Her big eyes were full of obvious confusion, as if she were saying, "What are you talking about? I don't understand."

Seeing her like this, and considering that they were already outside with other people around, Zhou Yichen didn't say anything more. He just stared at her for a moment before changing the subject.

"Should we go back to the office or go to the hospital to see Chu Yunting first?"

Chu Xin chuckled to herself, wondering if this silly man had lost his mind.

"Of course you should go to the hospital. You won't have anyone to interrogate if you go back. You forgot, all the suspects except the one who died need to be sent to the hospital for treatment."

Zhou Yichen realized his mistake and chuckled, rubbing his forehead. He had indeed made a foolish move, and he readily admitted it to the person who was making fun of him.

"I forgot."

"It's no big deal, it's nothing, as long as you don't do this stupid thing all the time."

Chu Xin teased him again, and the two of them quickly caught up with the people in front and left while talking.

the other side.

In fact, the guards that Lu Jianshe had dispatched had already caught up with Chu Yunting and the secret agents in the vicinity at the very beginning of their conflict.

They pursued him relentlessly, leaving no stone unturned in their search for Yang Zheng's whereabouts. As specially trained soldiers tasked with guarding and protecting him, these guards possessed exceptional reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance capabilities.

But as fate would have it, just as they were conducting a full-scale search, a sudden burst of gunfire alerted them, and they immediately rushed to the scene.

Just as we were about to arrive, we saw two people sneaking out of the alley in that direction and then quickly disappearing around the next corner.

Such suspicious behavior would not be ignored by any soldier, especially since they were already chasing someone, so the guards went after the two men.

This is why Lu Jianshe is currently seeing two ordinary people.

He knew without even asking that they weren't the ones following him, because they gave off a different vibe.

"what happened?"

The man who brought them over was a sergeant, the squad leader of the guards. He saluted and reported, "Sir, they are suspicious individuals we encountered while tracking someone..."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "We only found out after we arrested them that the Central Special Branch seemed to be operating in the area as well, and these two... are very likely their suspects."

Lu Jianshe's expression was unreadable. He waved for him to take the person away, saying, "Send them over there."

"...Also, find out how many people the Special Branch arrested. If possible, it would be best to meet them all. The reason given is that I was being secretly followed, and it's possible that the two sides have confused the suspects."

This sergeant was one of Lu Jianshe's confidants; he had been brought out by Lu from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' security department.

Therefore, he made no attempt to conceal his intentions.

The squad leader of the guards saluted again in a firm and clear voice, "Yes, sir!"

After everyone left, Lu Jianshe's face turned cold. He placed the gun he had been rubbing in his hand on the table and slowly sat down, his eyes gleaming with an extremely intimidating cold light.

"Zhou Yichen...the Zhou family!"

"Ah!"

In the hospital, Zhou Yichen couldn't help but sneeze again.

Chu Xin looked at him strangely for a few moments, and finally couldn't help but touch his forehead; his temperature was normal.

That would require a metaphysical explanation.

"Either someone is plotting against you, or they're insulting you."

Zhou Yichen raised an eyebrow, wondering why he didn't want him to be happy at all.

"Couldn't it be something good?"

Chu Xin, with an air of nonchalance, began to spout nonsense.

"It's difficult. You're sneezing so frequently. Even if you comfort yourself by thinking that the other person loves you deeply and hates you intensely, so what?"

Haven't you heard the saying "spare the rod and spoil the child"? This kind of positive incentive will still end up getting you beaten and scolded in the end.

Isn't that all the same principle?

Zhou Yichen: ...

He really wanted to shut that mouth.

"Hey, can you two take a look at us? We're both injured! It's just a sneeze, what's there to discuss? If you ask me, the conclusion is that Zhou Yichen is getting a cold!"

Chu Yunting watched coldly from the sidelines, and seeing that pink bubbles were about to appear between the two of them, he quickly spoke up to interrupt.

It's so unfair that we're all so close. Instead of offering a single word of concern, you're just spouting sour and childish remarks. How immature!

Jealousy can distort a person's appearance, and Chu Yunting admitted that he was really an eyesore.

Yang Zheng lay comfortably, refusing to take sides on the spot, saying, "Don't worry about me, you can ignore my existence."

Chu Xin's forehead creased with annoyance. She was just speaking normally, but it sounded like she and Zhou Yichen were flirting.

"Chu Yunting, I think you're badly injured. You're not even thinking straight. How about I treat you?"

She was all smiles, but the chill in her voice was like being doused with a bucket of cold water in the dead of winter.

Faced with such an obvious threat, Chu Yunting had no choice but to act like a quail and be as obedient as possible if he didn't want to get beaten up.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk."

There was a knock on the ward door.

Zhou Wen opened the door and came in, looking at Zhou Yichen with a somewhat hesitant expression.

"What is it? There are no outsiders here, so just say it."

Zhou Yichen glanced at Chu Xin and said to him.

Zhou Wen immediately stopped hesitating and quickly said, "Lu Jianshe's people sent over two people, the two who escaped today. I took them in, and they asked me how many people we arrested today."

It means checking if there are any suspects they're looking for.

After speaking, he looked at Yang Zheng.

Yang Zheng sat up silently, exchanged a glance with Zhou Yichen, and both of them realized what Lu Jianshe was up to.
