y." Xia Tian readily agreed; if he could have a meal with her in the noodle shop, what else was there to worry aboutOf course, Xia Tian didn't know where Dingzi Street was or had heard of Honghu Home,...Chapter 642: Ning Jie's Call - Wuyou Chinese Network

Zhai Pengcheng indeed ran away, but the most bizarre thing was that even Luo Minsheng didn't know exactly when Zhai Pengcheng had escaped. The earliest he learned about Zhai Pengcheng's escape was on the morning after arresting him.

Since the kidnapped person was Director Tan Lixin’s daughter and his wife narrowly escaped a bombing, Luo Minsheng focused most of his attention that night on this case instead of Zhai Pengcheng. He merely instructed his subordinates to bring Zhai Pengcheng to the police station for detention until the morning when Hu Tu from Pinghai Provincial Department contacted him about the matter. Only then did he realize that Zhai Pengcheng had mysteriously vanished from the police station.

No one knew when exactly Zhai Pengcheng disappeared, and there was no record of his entry or exit on the police station's surveillance footage, which made Luo Minsheng question if Zhai Pengcheng hadn't even been brought to the police station in the first place. However, after investigating further, he found that all those involved denied ever bringing Zhai Pengcheng back to the police station that night. The investigation hit a dead end.

Subsequently, Luo Minsheng began dispatching people to hunt for Zhai Pengcheng but ended up with no results. Up until now, there has been no trace of Zhai Pengcheng's whereabouts, making Luo Minsheng realize that something was amiss. This Zhai Pengcheng might not just be an ordinary drug trafficker.

However, he had little interest in this case at the moment as it involved many forces from Beijing and he was under immense pressure recently. More pressing still was that even Tang Tiantian’s kidnapping case had hit a dead end with nobody admitting to having taken her, since she hadn’t been abducted at all.

In fact, Tan Tantian was brought to what her classmate called a "play place," only to be led into the so-called Prince Club. As for the subsequent events where she claimed to have been threatened and almost violated, there were no other pieces of evidence besides her testimony. Although over a hundred people were apprehended that night, they are now being released due to lack of evidence.

"Honey, although Luo Minsheng agreed over the phone to increase police forces to pursue Cai Pengcheng, I think he is having a tough time himself and probably doesn't have much energy for capturing criminals. Plus, National Day is approaching, and he has to focus on security in Beijing. Relying on him to catch Cai Pengcheng might not be feasible." After informing Xia Tian about the situation, Mu Han expressed her opinion, "That night when Cai Pengcheng was released, it's likely that there are his associates within the police force. The people from the Prince Club appear to have a special relationship with him and would probably assist him covertly. In this case, it is even more difficult for the Beijing Police Department to apprehend him."

"I’ve long known these policemen wouldn’t be of much help; they couldn’t even find you when I asked them to help before. It’d have been better if I had let Xiaohei do it," Xia Tian was very dismissive of those policemen, finding them utterly useless since he already helped catch the person and yet they could not even keep an eye on someone.

"After such a long time has passed, we don’t even know if Cai Pengcheng is still in Beijing or not." Mu Han frowned slightly. "However, logically speaking, it should be that he’s still in Beijing. After being put under arrest warrant, choosing to come to Beijing means he considers it the safest place for him now. Although this incident happened again, I don’t think he would leave."

"I’ll give Xiaohei a call first." Xia Tian then called Bai Xiaolei and briefed him on the situation; he still thought that Bai Xiaolei’s subordinates were more capable of finding people.

He had just hung up when his phone rang again.

"Hey, who's this" Xia Tian answered the phone; no one had contacted him for nearly a week, and now that someone did, it was several people.

"It’s Ning Jie," an unfamiliar yet not entirely strange voice came from the other end of the line.

Xia Tian immediately felt puzzled: "Oh, you're the stingy one. What do you want"

"Didn't you promise to treat my company boss for his illness" Ning Jie sounded a bit annoyed. "How come you haven’t come to help him yet"

“Ah, that thing, I’ll go and see him later,” Xia Tian casually replied; although he wasn’t interested in it, he still intended to keep his promise.

"By the way, are you free tonight I’d like to treat you to a meal," Ning Jie asked again.

"You want to treat me to a meal" Summer found this strange and said, "How can such a tightwad like you think of treating me to a meal"

"I'm not a tightwad!" Ning Jie retorted somewhat disgruntledly. "After all, you helped cure my eyes and legs; isn't it okay for me to treat you to a meal as an expression of gratitude If you want to come, then come; if not, just forget about it."

"Having a meal is fine, but I have to clarify beforehand. When the time comes, if I eat plenty of food, don't go and bang your head into the wall again," Summer said quite seriously.

"Even if you bang your head against the wall, I wouldn’t do it!" Ning Jie snorted and then hung up the phone.

Mu Han asked from the side: "Husband, who invited you to a meal"

"Oh, it's that tightwad Ning Jie," Summer was a bit puzzled. "This is so strange; why would she think of treating me to a meal I only ate a few packs of instant noodles from her last time, and she got upset enough to bang her head into the wall!"

"Perhaps she wants to thank you for curing her disability," Mu Han said after a moment of thought.

Summer nodded. "She did say that. Never mind, I'll go eat dinner later."

Pausing for a second, Summer then said, "Oh right, dear, I promised Ning Jie's boss to treat him. I'm leaving soon, so I'll come back and find you when I have time!"

"Alright, okay," Mu Han nodded. "Husband, shall I drive you out"

"No need, I can walk there." Summer giggled. "You should rest for a while, you were quite tired just now."

Mu Han's pretty face turned slightly red; not long ago, they had attempted some high-difficulty positions that required considerable physical strength from her.

The summer finally passed, and while Mu Han felt a sense of relief, she also had a slight feeling of melancholy.

After lunch, just as Mu Han was about to head back for some rest, a shadow flickered, and Meier suddenly appeared in front of her and sat down across from her.

"Meier" Mu Han was slightly taken aback. "Why are you here My husband just left!"

"I came because I saw him leave," Meier said calmly. "I want to discuss something with you."

"What is it" Mu Han asked, feeling a bit curious.

"The team leader is in the process of rebuilding the Dark Squad, and he hopes that Xia Tian will take charge of this reconstruction. However, Xia Tian doesn't want to do so. I hope you can persuade Xia Tian to accept the position as the head of the Dark Squad." Meier stated her request straightforwardly.ing the summer, I'm not quite sure about the situation yet. I'll try to contact Grandma. Logically speaking, if someone really did kidnap Grandma, they should have called for a ransom by now. I think...
