Chapter 187: There’s a Listening Device?

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Inside the private dining room, glasses clinked as the group enjoyed their meal. Since they had been invited, it was clear they were in for a substantial feast. Even though there were only three of them, the table was filled with a variety of dishes.

Zhou Qiang kept saying, “That’s enough, that’s enough,” but it had no effect whatsoever.

“It’s no problem!” Ma Zhiyuan insisted. “You’ve come all the way here, and if we don’t treat you to a good meal, it would make our Haicheng police force lose face.”

“Officer Zhou, Officer Su, eat to your heart’s content. We may not have much else, but we have plenty of alcohol,” he added.

Su Xuan had been looking at the menu but raised his head when he heard that last remark. He gave Ma Zhiyuan a skeptical look. He had noticed the high-proof liquor indicated on the bottle, and given the circumstances earlier and their current behavior, he couldn’t help but suspect that they were planning to get them drunk.Please visit fr𝐞𝐞w𝒏.𝒸𝑜𝔪 website to read fastest update

His suspicion was quickly confirmed when several more people arrived at the table, all of them Ma Zhiyuan’s colleagues. They wore smiles on their faces and spoke with an air of officialdom, but their words were filled with traps and hidden intentions.

If Zhou Qiang hadn’t been in the police circle for so many years, he might have easily fallen into their trap. As for Su Xuan, who had been deliberately marginalized, these people didn’t spare him either. Some even approached him while he was lowering his head, trying to engage him in conversation and offering drinks.

They kept drinking and talking, trying to extract information. Su Xuan appeared extremely reserved, feigning ignorance and deflecting all inquiries to Zhou Qiang.

At the dining table, the others shifted their focus entirely to Zhou Qiang. By this time, Zhou Qiang had consumed nearly three jin of white liquor, his face flushed, and he had started to slur his words. He blurted out whatever came to mind.

Seeing Zhou Qiang’s deteriorating condition, Su Xuan immediately tried to approach him, but he was blocked by two individuals by his side.

He had no issues at all, and during the dinner, he was lively and spirited. He didn’t get drunk; instead, he left everyone else bewildered. Now, despite the redness on Zhou Qiang’s face, he was merely easy to redden, but his wits remained sharp.

Trying to get him drunk and extract information from him? It was an impossible task! Unfortunately, these people were unaware of this fact. They believed they had unraveled the true purpose of Su Xuan and Zhou Qiang’s trip.

They watched as Zhou Qiang seemed to pass out from the alcohol, and Su Xuan drank himself into a stupor, realizing that the promised massage was slipping away.

Fortunately, despite their attempts to deceive, these officers were still legitimate police officers. Coming here on a business trip, they wouldn’t have missed the signs.

Now that they had discovered and brought them here, and the dinner had turned into such a state… It was simply impossible to get anything out of them.

As the dinner concluded, the group of officers dusted off their clothes and left. Only two officers remained to escort Su Xuan and the others to the hotel.

One of the departing officers glanced at Su Xuan and Zhou Qiang and shook his head disapprovingly. “Thought these cops coming all the way from Hong Kong were something special?”

“Yeah, but they turned out to be naive!” another officer chimed in. “A little bit of alcohol and some sweet talk and they’re as lost as can be… Pathetic!”

With those words, they left, and one of the officers tossed Su Xuan onto a bed before departing. Simultaneously, he looked at his partner.

“Enough talking,” he said. “Let’s go back and discuss what to do next! These two may not be the brightest, but they are still police officers. Even though this guy named Zhou Qiang claims they’re here to investigate a theft case, what thief’s mother would run all the way here? Besides, having them here is a problem for us…”

As they spoke, the two officers exited the room, their voices gradually fading away.

As they left the room, just above the doorway, Su Xuan, who had been lying on the bed like a dead pig, suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes met with the gaze of Zhou Qiang, who was on the opposite bed.

Su Xuan quickly brought a finger to his lips, signaling for silence. He swiftly got up from the bed and began searching the room.. Sure enough, he found several listening devices!
