110: Chapter 110 Ding Runan Causes Trouble at the Police Station

Chapter 107: Teacher Ding Runan Stirs Up the Police Station

The next day.

Wang Shuo raised his head and looked at the sunlight streaming through the door, only then realizing it was dawn. After venting furiously on his keyboard to catch up on his work, he felt much better. The depression brought on by being kidnapped, hunted, and Zheng Jun's injury had partially dissipated.

"Chen Xin."

He called out, but there was no response.

Wang Shuo turned his head, only to realize that at some point, he had been left all alone in the factory workshop.

This girl...

Wang Shuo vaguely recalled Chen Xin saying something to him in the middle of the night, but he had been too focused on coding at the time to pay attention.

But she had left breakfast for him, which was nice.

Picking up his favorite steamed buns and deep-fried dough sticks, Wang Shuo ate as he walked out of the workshop door.

Just as he stepped outside, he saw two sturdy men in formal suits walking over.

"Mr. Wang."

"You guys haven't left yet?"

Wang Shuo was not unfamiliar with these two; they were the bodyguards who had been following Chen Xin around. For some reason, they hadn't left with her and had instead been guarding the door.

"The young lady requested that we stay by your side to protect your safety for the time being, until the criminals are caught."

"Please rest assured, Mr. Wang. The young lady's safety is being looked after by others."

"Oh." Wang Shuo took a bite of a steamed bun, silently marveling at how cautious Chen Xin was. However, it would be a lie to say he wasn't touched. Moreover, he realized that seeing Chen Xin this time felt very different from before. What exactly was different?

After thinking for a while without figuring it out, Wang Shuo suddenly snapped out of it and held out the buns and dough sticks in his hand.

"Have you eaten?"

...

"So you're Cheng He, and you're Cheng Ye. You two are brothers?"

Under Wang Shuo's repeated insistence, the two sturdy men had no choice but to accept the buns and dough sticks. The three of them sat on the threshold without any regard for their image, basking in the sun while chewing away.

"Yes. We aren't biological brothers, but we're closer than brothers."

Cheng Ye replied.

"Are you both veterans?"

Cheng He and Cheng Ye nodded.

"You really can't tell me which unit you were in?"

Cheng Ye showed a helpless expression and shook his head.

"Mr. Wang, our unit's designation is classified. Even after discharge, we cannot disclose it."

"Alright then."

Wang Shuo didn't press further.

A classified designation, a non-disclosure discipline.

Wang Shuo smacked his lips. That sounded pretty cool. He wondered where Chen Zhongxuan had managed to find these bodyguards.

After chatting for a while, Wang Shuo went back into the warehouse to continue working.

But as he sat down in front of the computer, looking at the leftover buns and dough sticks beside him, he felt like he had forgotten something.

What on earth was it?

"Oh, crap!"

Wang Shuo slapped his forehead.

"I forgot to bring food to Boss!"

...

Bringing breakfast to Boss was the most important thing at this stage.

Wang Shuo hurriedly grabbed the breakfast and rushed to the Hospital. When he ran panting to the door of Zheng Jun's ward, he realized he had probably overthought it.

Zheng Jun, who was still laughing and cursing yesterday, was now leaning like a delicate young girl in the embrace of a familiar back. Seeing Wang Shuo appear at the door, he quickly took a sip of the soup fed to him by The Figure and winked at Wang Shuo.

This meant...

Wang Shuo understood. Tactfully, he backed out and thoughtfully closed the door behind him.

As he left, he could still hear a female voice asking with deep concern, "Does it still hurt?"

Followed by Zheng Jun's weak voice: "With you here, it doesn't hurt anymore."

Barf...

Boss, oh Boss, you've completely thrown away your dignity for a woman.

Coming in a rush, leaving in embarrassment.

The round trip took over two hours and left Wang Shuo feeling rather exhausted. After all, he hadn't slept all night, and he had just taken a stroll at death's door. Even though his brain had been heavily trained and battered by data streams lately, it was still reaching its limit.

Just as he lay down on his chair to take a short nap, his phone, which rarely ever rang, started ringing again.

"Zero, mute."

The sound stopped abruptly.

A moment later... the phone started vibrating incessantly.

This frantic way of calling was very much like the Old Witch. But if he didn't answer now, would she call the police on the spot?

Helplessly, Wang Shuo had Zero connect the call.

"Wang Shuo, where are you?"

Teacher Ding Runan's voice was so cold it could seep into one's bones. If she could, she really wanted to drag Wang Shuo in front of her right now and beat him up to vent her anger and worry.

She couldn't help but be furious. This guy had first hooked her curiosity with something completely insubstantial to get her to approve his leave. Then, while she ran around tirelessly, rallying people and convincing one leader after another, finally setting the stage and gathering the team—just waiting for him to step up and perform—he actually went missing! And he had been missing for three whole days! At first, he just didn't answer, and later, he turned off his phone entirely!

How was this any different from those scumbags who played with women's feelings and then refused to take responsibility once they got what they wanted?

Teacher Ding Runan felt that if she were a balloon, she would have exploded by now.

She decided that as soon as Wang Shuo spoke, she would let him know what the "HUST Powder Keg" meant, and let him personally experience the martial arts she had practiced for twenty years.

The next moment, Wang Shuo's weak voice came through the phone.

"Teacher Ding, I was kidnapped. I was just rescued, and now I'm in the Hospital."

Teacher Ding Runan, who was just about to explode, froze and asked, "What did you say? Say that again?"

...

Upon learning that Wang Shuo had been kidnapped, Teacher Ding Runan first calmly comforted him and told him to stay at the Hospital and not run around.

Then, she spent about forty minutes rushing to the Hospital.

Seeing Wang Shuo covered in bandages, Teacher Ding Runan's face darkened.

Then, learning about Zheng Jun's miserable state from Wang Shuo's aggrieved and slightly exaggerated account, her expression became even more grim.

Finally, after coming out of Zheng Jun's ward, Teacher Ding Runan's face was covered in dark clouds, incredibly gloomy.

"Why didn't you tell me about such a serious matter sooner?"

Wang Shuo was speechless.

"This time, Zheng Jun was lucky, and so were you. You both are fine, but if something had really happened to you and the school couldn't find out immediately, do you know how severe the consequences would be?"

Most importantly, how would she explain it to her own teacher? Professor Zeng had repeatedly urged her to take good care of this precious student.

Disappointed that he didn't live up to expectations, Teacher Ding Runan glared fiercely at Wang Shuo, who always caused her worry.

"Have they caught the perpetrators?"

"No." Wang Shuo shook his head. "They had already fled by the time the police arrived."

"Hmph," Teacher Ding Runan said fiercely. "Those guys are still as useless as ever."

With that, she tossed the nutritional supplements she had bought for Zheng Jun to a nurse and dragged Wang Shuo outside.

"Teacher, where are we going?"

"The Police Station!"

...

Wang Shuo had finally witnessed just how hot-tempered Teacher Ding Runan, who was famous throughout HUST, could be.

No one could stop her along the way. Some young police officers even came up to greet her with "Sister Ding" upon seeing her, leaving Wang Shuo dumbfounded.

Were capable people really this overbearing nowadays?

It wasn't until they reached the deputy bureau chief's office that Teacher Ding Runan restrained herself slightly and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Teacher Ding Runan pushed open the door and walked in.

"Oh, I wondered who it was. So it's Runan."

The chief was a neat and capable Middle-aged man. Seeing Teacher Ding Runan, he smiled and said, "What's this? Did you beat up some thug this time, or did you catch another groper?"

Teacher Ding Runan snorted and sat on the sofa, feeling quite displeased. Wang Shuo followed her in; feeling awkward whether he sat or stood, he could only stand blankly beside the sofa.

"Kid, you don't look very old. How could you do such a thing?"

The deputy bureau chief clearly mistook Wang Shuo for the culprit. Speaking in a serious tone, he prepared to give him a lecture.

"Uncle Li, stop pretending," Teacher Ding Runan said coldly. "With your decades of experience, as an outstanding police officer who can spot a thief in a crowd at a single glance, could you really not tell that this is my student?"

"Haha." Uncle Li took a sip of water to cover his embarrassment and smiled. "I'm getting old, getting old. Not as sharp as I used to be."

Teacher Ding Runan laid her cards on the table.

"Uncle Li, such a serious and vicious incident involving kidnapping and even gunshots occurred in your jurisdiction. Are you just going to ignore it and let the perpetrators remain at large?"

Uncle Li put down his teacup, glanced at Teacher Ding Runan, and then looked at Wang Shuo standing to the side. He sighed and asked, "This must be Wang Shuo from yesterday's kidnapping case, right?"

Seeing Wang Shuo nod, Uncle Li continued, "Runan, Student Wang Shuo, I know you both are very anxious. We also want to catch the culprits as soon as possible to bring them to justice and give you a satisfactory answer, but..."

Uncle Li shook his head. "But we have our own difficulties too. I looked at the case file this morning. There are no frontal images of the three suspects, only rough descriptions..."

"Oh, I have that."

Wang Shuo raised his hand.

Uncle Li paused and asked, "You do? Frontal information on the criminals?"

"They never took off their hoods, but I have a video of them. I wonder if we can find them using that?"

"We can try." Uncle Li nodded. "From what we know, besides those three culprits, there was another one who also didn't... Don't tell me you have that too?"

"Yes," Wang Shuo nodded honestly.

Uncle Li was silent for a moment before replying, "If you have all of that, we can hand it over to our technical department for data matching. However, with so many people in W City, and according to your statement, the shooter might not necessarily have a criminal record. Screening will still take some time..."

"I can help with that too."

Uncle Li's words stopped abruptly. He looked at Wang Shuo. "What did you say? You can help too?"

Wang Shuo coughed, recalling the lesson Chen Zhongxuan had taught him, and straightened his posture. "Bureau Chief Li, I forgot to introduce myself.

"I, Wang Shuo, am currently a student at Huazhong University of Science and Technology, and also the legal representative of W City's Frontier Technology Co., Ltd."
