“Is your bro doing something to that woman?” Fu Zhengzheng knows Zhu Ting shouts to signal her that Monkey has been controlled. She pretends to be surprised.

“Damn. He was warned but still dares to touch the woman!” Scrag rises quickly and walks out while cursing.

At this moment, a rough voice snaps outside, “Monkey! Stop!”

Fu Zhengzheng hears the heavy footsteps move out of the outer room. She uses some strength secretly and breaks free from the packaging string. Then she tears off the cloth covering eyes, rushes forward, and hits the back of Scrag who is close to the door with all her strength. The guy shows the whites of his eyes and then passes out.

She fumbles on his body but doesn’t find a gun. She only finds a clasp knife and a lighter. She holds them tightly, runs to one side of the door, and peeps outside. Finding no one in the outer hall, she goes out. Seeing a gun on the nearby table, she picks it up immediately. When she is about to go out, she sees Zhu Ting come out of the room across from the gate, raising her hands. She is startled. Then she hides herself at one side of the gate and clasps the gun.

Soon Zhu Ting enters the room under the escort of a man with a gun. The man is big and tall. Fu Zhengzheng guesses he is probably the one with the rough voice staying in the outer room. Perhaps he is the head of these guys.

“Scrag? Scrag?” Once entering the room, the head shouts. Receiving no response, he has a sense of foreboding and shouts outside, “Fatty, call…”

“Shut up!” Fu Zhengzheng pushes a gun against the back of his head behind him.

He wants to turn around, and Fu Zhengzheng is to pull the trigger. Thus, he doesn’t dare to turn around, but his gun is still against Zhu Ting.

“Let her off. Then I will let you off.” Fu Zhengzheng pushes the gun against the back of his head more tightly.

He is calm. Finding Fu Zhengzheng’s gun is closer to him, he pushes his gun closer to Zhu Ting too. Then he clears his throat and says slowly, “Girl, shall we talk?”

Fu Zhengzheng knows he wants to buy time, so she is anxious and snaps, “Let her off right now, or I will shoot.”

He still says unhurriedly, “This is an isolated island. If you shoot me, I’m sure you can’t leave the island.”

Noises come from a distance. Fu Zhengzheng knows his helpers are coming and gets panicky. Suddenly she has an idea and shouts in panic deliberately, “Don’t come over!”

Meanwhile, she pulls back her gun from him.

He feels excited secretly, turns around suddenly, points his gun at Fu Zhengzheng, and pulls the trigger.

“Bang!”

Fu Zhengzheng pulls the trigger and shoots the back of his head. It turns out she just pretended to withdraw her gun to distract his attention.

He stares at Fu Zhengzheng as if he doesn’t believe she is so skilled at shooting. Then he collapses on the ground.

Though Fu Zhengzheng has used guns for many times in training, it’s the first time for her to shoot a person. Therefore, she can’t help feeling panicky and her face looks frightening.

“Go.”

Zhu Ting drags her away to hide. With some gunshots, bullets are fired into the wall.

“Run to the back door.”

Zhu Ting says hurriedly while shooting outward with the gun snatched from the head just now. Then she kicks and closes the door half.

Fu Zhengzheng rushes to the back door. When Zhu Ting comes over, Fu Zhengzheng closes the back door and they run to the woods behind the house.

“Stop!”

Zhu Ting drags Fu Zhengzheng to run forward desperately among shouts and gunshots.

There are more and more trees, and the trees are denser and denser. They keep running until they can’t hear gunshots and shouts. Then they stop to rest against a tree.

“Zhengzheng, are you all right?” Zhu Ting pants and looks at Fu Zhengzheng worriedly.

Fu Zhengzheng collapses on the ground out of breath. She just shakes her head and swallows repeatedly. She can’t say anything.

After resting for a while, Zhu Ting looks around, picks a leaf from the tree, fetches some water with it from a ditch, and gives it to Fu Zhengzheng.

“Rough it. It’s quite clean.

Fu Zhengzheng takes the water and drinks it up.

“Do you feel better now?” Zhu Ting looks at Fu Zhengzheng’s belly.

Fu Zhengzheng touches her belly that doesn’t bulge and forces a smile, “He is great while I’m not.”

Zhu Ting holds her hands and comforts her softly, “You are great. After I shot a criminal in an operation for the first time, I was haunted by nightmares for a long time.”

“Maybe my nightmares will haunt me longer.”

Zhu Ting smiles and shakes her head, “Tell yourself repeatedly that they are bad persons, and if you don’t kill them, they will hurt many good ones, so you did the right thing. You’ve got rid of an evil for the people. You should be proud of yourself.”

“Do you think I’m disappointing?”

“No.”

“Thanks for your comfort, but I’m clear about my capability. Watching my father train my brother when I was young, I always refused to be trained, because I couldn’t suffer like that. I went to the police training school to pursue justice, because I was involved in Li Ming’s case accidentally. But in fact, I majored in criminal justice administration. After I was enrolled in the police office of A City, I used to do logistic work. If Yang Tao hadn’t transferred me to join the investigation about Weihan Group in B City with a personal reason, I might be still doing logistic work in the police office of A City. No wonder Siqi often says I’m not like a police officer.”

“Zhengzheng, don’t look down upon yourself. You have achieved a lot. You ask too much of yourself. If I can be as brave as you when I’m pregnant, I will take pride in myself.”

“Zhu Ting, since I met you, I have realized I need to learn many merits from you, such as composure, cleverness and righteousness. I always admire you actually.”

Zhu Ting laughs, “We praise each other so much in such an ambiance. It helps us solve the trouble we encounter now, right?”

“I didn’t expect you would be so humorous.” Fu Zhengzheng laughs too and looks less nervous than before.

“In fact, what you did to save me just now was really a symbol of bravery and cleverness.”

“I keep in contact with you for a long time, so I become smart sometimes.”

Seeing Fu Zhengzheng calm down, Zhu Ting is relieved. She looks around, points ahead and says, “We’re not clear about the surroundings. The head said it’s an isolated island. It’s probably not large. They may find us soon. We have to find a safe place to protect us from their hunt. Then we can make a plan.”

Looking at the dense woods, Fu Zhengzheng is worried, “Are we in a primitive forest?”

“It can’t be a primitive forest, but it seems to be a large wood. Let’s walk inside and see. The farther we are away from them, the safer we’ll be.” Zhu Ting takes Fu Zhengzheng’s hand. They walk forward together and pick wide fruit to feed themselves.

While Fu Zhengzheng and Zhu Ting are chased by the subordinates of Xiao Jinchong, dozens of cars are parked at the fork near a dam in the west of B City. A group of persons surround about four ones to report information orderly.

Han Siqi looks worn. After hearing their reports, he becomes more and more frustrated. Pressing his lips tightly, he turns around to look at the boundless lake and refrains the complicated feelings in his heart.

Then a police car stops by them. As soon as the door is opened, Ji Muxian jumps out of it.

“How is it going? Is there any useful clue?” Ji Muxian sees Han Siqi and runs to him quickly.

Han Siqi shakes his head and says hoarsely, “We’ve searched at all forks within dozens of miles in all directions, but there is no clue at all.”

Ji Muxian feels heart-broken to see his brother so worn, but he has no time to comfort him. He continues asking, “Didn’t you get any information around Home Inn?”

“The alley has no street lamps and is narrow. Few people walk through it in the evening, so we’ve found no witnesses.”

“How cunning Xiao Jinchong is! I even suspect he knew our operation in the evening and did it intentionally during that period.”

Zhen Chao comes over and interrupts, “Maybe he forced someone to launch the anti-drug operation.”

Ji Muxian stares at him, mediates and finds it reasonable, “We almost turned out in full strength. The operation was between 9: 30 and 11:30. But one hour before that, everyone switched the cellphone off and waited for the instruction from the superior to each police substation by landline after all police officers from each police substation were there. During that period, Shengtian carried Weihan’s goods out of port coincidentally.”

He knows Xiao Jinchong has the secrets of many high officials in B City. It’s easy for Xiao Jinchong to coerce some of them to do what he demands. Besides, it’s normal for some leaders to organize an anti-drug operation when drugs are rampant. It doesn’t break laws or disciplines. Meanwhile, it can help leaders to maintain their reputation and even win honor. Why not do it?

Hearing Ji Muxian’s analysis, Zhen Chao nods, “Xiao Jinchong was sure to think his plan perfect. He didn’t know we would be involved in it.”

“In fact, if you hadn’t stayed in the dark all the time and remained unperceived, he would have succeeded. Even though it’s well-planned, he didn’t forget to make Tang Feng scapegoated anytime. He also kidnapped Zhu Ting.”

“As well as Zhengzheng.” Han Siqi adds with a sober expression.

“Before Tang Feng confesses, Xiao Jinchong doesn’t dare to do anything to Zhu Ting definitely. Zhengzheng is involved in their plan by accident. I’m afraid…”

Han Siqi’s pale face looks more terrible. This is the question that he hates most to consider during the past eight hours.

Zhen Chao interrupts Ji Muxian, “Don’t be pessimistic now. Zhengzheng was once trained. What’s more, according to Xiao Jinchong’s character, he won’t let off anyone easily that he can utilize. Zhengzheng is a police officer and Siqi’s wife. Her double identities are useful to him.”

After knowing Fu Zhengzheng and Zhu Ting are gone, Xiao Hui intended to dispatch some policemen to cooperate with him to search, but he refused. He didn’t believe the persons that once had contact with Xiao Jinchong, so he mustered other persons over last night.

Though Fu Zhengzheng is his sister, it’s related to Xiao Jinchong’s case anyway. It’s not out of personal considerations.

Han Siqi turns around to look at Zhen Chao in silence.

He didn’t expect he would be so fragile one day that he would need to be comforted by another one.

At this moment, a watchman runs to Zhen Chao hurriedly, salutes and says quickly, “Commander, something else happened!”
