237 Big Fish! ? (1/2)
After explaining to Inspector Ho, he finally dispatched his subordinates down to Zhao Yao's apartment in order to bring the Japanese back for questioning.
The person who came down was Lin Chen. He was brimming with energy but seemed somewhat edgy as he constantly glanced at his watch.
”Alright, is it just the four of them?” Lin Chen asked as he began putting on the handcuffs on them.
When the Japanese saw Lin Chen coming for them, it was as good as seeing a long lost relative as tears welled up in their eyes. However, just when they were about to escape this hell hole, Zhao Yao stopped them at the door. Terror flashed in their eyes instantly.
”Wait a moment,” Naturally, Zhao Yao had already recognized Lin Chen. They had met several times during the cases involving the killer cat and the KFC incident. However, Lin Chen had no idea that Zhao Yao was the one behind them.
”What is it? Can you hurry up?” Lin Chen glanced at his watch restlessly and grumbled, ”I paused my DOTA game to come here. My teammates are still waiting for me to return and continue the game.”
”Huh?” Zhao Yao instantly slid Lin Chen a condescending glare. Zhao Yao had no idea that the quality of our government officials had slumped to such a level.
Hanako was hiding in her bedroom as she observed the handing over of the trespassers. She thought, ”Are all Chinese men so addicted to computer games?”
Even though flames of anger shot through Zhao Yao's body, he still spoke in his most polite tone, ”Officer, could you kindly leave behind your handphone number?”
”Why? Do you not trust me?” Lin Chen asked as his right eyebrow shot up.
Zhao Yao tried his best to suppress his anger and forced the most amiable smile he was capable of before explaining, ”No, I just found this group of Japanese so warm and friendly as if they were my long lost friends. They have no friends in China so I hope you can contact me when they are released so that I can fetch them.”
Zhao Yao still held out hope that Sato would have further requests that Zhao Yao could help out with when he was released. Maybe there was also a cooldown time for these missions and the exclamation mark would return by the time they are released.
”Oh,” Lin Chen shot a suspicious glare at Zhao Yao and found his behavior extremely strange. However, he still whipped out his phone and said, ”How about you just give me your number. I'll call you when they are released.”
”No!” Sato exclaimed even before Zhao Yao managed to answer. With his body trembling in fear, he looked earnestly towards Lin Chen and explained, ”Sir, do not trust him. This guy is psychopathic. He is only doing this to torture us.” The other three nodded their head violently in response. The past hour had them experienced a form of torture which they had never imagined possible.
”Stop making so much noise! You will explain the entire incident to me when we get back!” Lin Chen turned a deaf ear to their pleas and started exchanging number with Zhao Yao.
Zhao Yao beamed from ear to ear after sending Lin Chen off. He thought, ”Even though I might not be able to upgrade my cat rice, I can use such opportunities to earn more experience points! I must find a pattern to understand how these missions appear.”
With the delightful thought at the back of his head, he looked towards Hanako and asked, ”Hanako, do you know of any Japanese international students?”
Hanako's body started trembling as Zhao Yao's voice rang in her head. Somehow, she felt a cold chill down her spine.

Within the dugout, the tattooed man stumbled along as he tried to escape with the teenager thrown across his back.
He was overcome with excitement and shock when memories of their adventure in the dugout flooded his head.
Initially, they came out in search of supercats. After realizing that the rocks were simply an obstacle, they circumvented it in an attempt to find an entrance. However, their efforts were in vain.
