173 Using Balls as a Threa (1/2)

”Madam Gu, Xiao Luo went to Long Sankui's Yellow Skies Casino.”

As Zhang Dashan's white Corolla stopped at the Yellow Skies Casino's entrance, a black car behind them stopped not far away. The two plain-clothes police officers in the vehicle immediately reported the situation to Gu Qianlin.

To gather evidence of Xiao Luo's transgressions against the law, Gu Qianlin had placed him under strict surveillance, or as her subordinates put it, ”the dumbest and most straightforward method.” This meant monitoring around the clock; whenever Xiao Luo went or took action, a message would be passed to her immediately.

Holding the handphone at the other end of the line, Gu Qianlin took a moment to ponder, before giving the order. ”Continue monitoring him, report to me at once if he does anything unusual!”

”Yes, madam!” came the reply.

The officer nodded forcefully and hung up the call.

However, the looks on both of their faces changed instantly as they saw that Xiao Luo and several men headed right their way after they alighted from their car.

Had they been found out?

The two exchanged glances and couldn't help noticing the shock in each other's eyes. As experienced plain-clothes cops, tracking and monitoring suspects were necessary surveillance skills they had been practicing for a long time. They've never been detected by their targets so far. It was a first for them and was totally beyond their expectations. They could almost feel their hearts leaping out of their throats.

Knock. Knock. Knock.

The knock on the car window resounded inside the vehicle. Both the cops turned to look, trying hard to appear disinterested only to see Xiao Luo's handsome, chiseled face staring indifferently at them. They did their best to appear nonchalant as he approached, as if unconcerned with the goings-on.

The plain-clothes cop sitting on the driver's seat warily rolled down the window and asked casually, ”Is something the matter?”

Xiao Luo said impassively, ”You have been following us all the way from the hospital. Gu Qianlin sent you all, didn't she?” He pointed at the handphone in the hand of the plain-clothes cop sitting in the passenger seat. ”Call her, I'll have a word or two with her.”

His words seemed to carry a finality in its tone as if something very terrible would happen if they refused. The two cops sat up straight, not even daring to breathe loudly. The plain-clothes police sitting in the passenger seat quickly dialed Gu Qianlin's number and passed the mobile phone over to Xiao Luo's waiting hand.

”Any new development? What's going on?” At the other end of the line, Gu Qianlin's spoke urgently.

Qiao Luo replied, ”Officer Gu, this is Xiao Luo.”

His voice stunned Gu Qianlin.

Recovering immediately, Gu Qianlin asked loudly, ”What have you done to them?”

”They are perfectly fine, I just want to tell you that their surveillance skills are about as bad as it gets,” Xiao Luo said coldly.

His words made the two plain-clothes cops lower their heads sheepishly, feeling immensely embarrassed. They had nothing to say, for the undeniable truth that they had been discovered.

”You...”

Gu Qianlin gritted her teeth in anger.

Xiao Luo snickered. ”Officer Gu, you really are neglecting your duties. For the past days, the shops belonging to my Luo Company have been smashed up by scoundrels one after another.” He added contemptuously, ”I don't see you arresting them and compensating my losses. Instead, you are fixated on me, what happened to the justice you told me about a few days ago?”

”Xiao Luo, don't you dare stick labels on me as you please. There are clear divisions of responsibilities. There are other police departments in charge of the case involving your company's shops being smashed up, I am only responsible for my own,” said Gu Qianlin.

Xiao Luo laughed mockingly, saying. ”Your duty is to monitor my actions? Madam Gu, you really must have a lot of time on your hands.”

”Stop waffling. We both know why I am monitoring your actions, you don't need me to explain that to you,” Gu Qianlin replied, irked.

”It seems that there is no way to eliminate your suspicions of me,” he said.

Xiao Luo raised an eyebrow and laughed lightly. ”In that case, why don't you come over now. I'm preparing to make a scene at the Yellow Skies Casino. And without you, a police officer, to monitor my actions on site, I am worried that I might accidentally do something illegal.”
