When Zhou Heng returned home, it was already night. He already did not care about how the matter with Yu Shuai would develop, or whether Bai Lu and the others would call the police.
He would make a trip to drunkard's workshop tomorrow and ask the owner if he could copy the silver coin. Zhou Heng made a decision.
At this moment, his phone rang. It was a number he had never seen before. Not many people knew his phone number.
"Hello." Zhou Heng put the silver coins in his pocket and picked up the call.
"Zhou Heng." The one on the other end of the phone was Cao Fang, she changed the number and called, "It's me."
Cao Fang's voice sounded a little low. "What's wrong?"
"I'm free." Zhou Heng was thinking if Cao Fang wanted to invite him to do something. After all, she and Cao Tai had not finished dealing with the matter.
"Can you accompany me?" Cao Fang asked on the other side of the phone.
Zhou Heng was startled, wasn't it a job? However, since he had already said that he was free, it would not be good to reject him now. After all, Cao Fang had been generous to him and even helped him arrange for him to enter the academy.
"Where are you?" Zhou Heng asked directly.
"I'll pick you up at your place in twenty minutes." Cao Fang replied.
"Alright." Zhou Heng agreed without hesitation.
Just as the call ended, a knock came from the door.
"So fast, didn't you say 20 minutes already?" Zhou Heng ran over and opened the door.
Standing outside the door was police officer Xu Lingshan.
"What's the matter?" Zhou Heng asked. Could it be a waste of time to reveal that they had already reported the case?
"Investigate a case of disappearance." Xu Lingshan and Zhou Heng's tone was not good.
Zhou Heng said in his heart, as expected, he was here to investigate Yu Shuai and the others. But Yu Shuai and the other two were already dead, and were destined to become an unsolved case.
"Xu Lijia, do you know this person?" In the end, Xu Lingshan said a name Zhou Heng had never heard of before.
Zhou Heng was a little confused as he shook his head.
"Where's He Yuhua?" Xu Lingshan continued to ask.
Zhou Heng shook his head again.
"Then you definitely don't know Liu Zimei either?" Xu Lingshan stared intently at Zhou Heng's face, wanting to find any traces of him lying in the details on his face.
"Never heard of it." When Zhou Heng replied, his expression did not change in the slightest.
This fellow's mental state is extremely good, Xu Lingshan came to this conclusion.
"Would you like to come in for a seat?" Zhou Heng asked. He found it strange that the two of them were standing in the doorway talking like this.
"No need," Xu Lingshan rejected Zhou Heng, "I'll leave after asking the questions." She had an appointment with a doctor, who was getting dizzy more and more frequently these days. She thought she must be overworked, and she hoped that the doctor would give her some advice on how to take care of her body.
But Xu Lingshan didn't like a guy like Zhou Heng who seemed to be cooperating but didn't reveal any information.
"I advise you not to shield Ding Long." Xu Lingshan said bluntly, "What he has done now constitutes a heavy crime. If you cooperate with us, I will consider reducing your punishment." In her opinion, the reason Zhou Heng was able to walk shoulder to shoulder with Ding Long was at least on the same level as him. For him to be able to reach such a high position beside Ding Long at such a young age, his hands must be drenched in blood.
"I'm not guilty, Officer." Zhou Heng replied helplessly, "If I have Ding Long's evidence, I will definitely cooperate with you." Xu Lingshan thought too highly of Zhou Heng, or perhaps she had underestimated Ding Long. Ding Long was an old schemer, he would never reveal his weakness in front of an outsider like Zhou Heng. If just based on a few exchanges alone, Zhou Heng was able to grasp the depths of Ding Long's strength, then Ding Long wouldn't be able to grow up in the Coastal City.
To rely on this method to defeat Ding Long was no different from daydreaming.
However, in Xu Lingshan's opinion, it was not at all like that. She only felt that Zhou Heng was using a few flippant words to cover her up.
"Seaside has recently seen a large number of young females go missing, we have every reason to suspect that all of this is related to Ding Long. He is the leader of Seaside Underground Emotion Industry." Xu Lingshan said to Zhou Heng, "If you still have a little conscience, you shouldn't do anything for him."
"Alright." Zhou Heng nodded. It looked like he couldn't convince the policeman of his innocence.
"Take care." Xu Lingshan closed the audio recorder and turned to leave.
"Hello, officer!" Zhou Heng called out to her.
"Do you feel a tightness in your chest lately, as if someone is pressing down on you?" Zhou Heng asked.
"Rogue!" Xu Lingshan thought that Zhou Heng told her a little joke to tease her. After swearing at Zhou Heng, she left without turning back.
Zhou Heng sighed. He wanted to help Xu Lingshan and dispel the Evil Yin on her, but the other party simply did not give her the chance.
Not long after Xu Lingshan left, Cao Fang arrived in her red Ferrari.
When Zhou Heng left the house, the white cat was already asleep.
"Heh." He had already become familiar with Cao Fang, so Zhou Heng greeted and sat on the front passenger seat, "What are you looking for me for so late at night?"
"I'm not satisfied with the business," Cao Fang answered frankly. "I'm looking for someone to talk to.
Today, Cao Fang had disguised her appearance to cover her haggard expression. She asked: "Did I disturb you?"
"I won't disturb you." Zhou Heng replied. He really liked interacting with Cao Fang. As fellow merchants, Ding Long's shrewdness was too deep, interacting with him was too useless.
Cao Fang laughed, then stepped on the car's throttle.
The expensive Ferrari had a performance comparable to its price. In an instant, the red steel beast's speed increased. The night wind whistled through the windshield.
"You're speeding." Zhou Heng reminded her calmly.
"Don't be afraid," Cao Fang said proudly. "My driving skills are very good!"
Zhou Heng laughed, and did not reply. Under this kind of situation, normal people might panic, but Zhou Heng didn't. He had astonishing dynamic vision to help him catch objects in the air.
The red Ferrari was like the king of the night, and the lampposts by the road were his courteous subjects.
The subjects bowed their heads in silence and kept backing away from each other to make way for their king.
Cao Fang held onto the steering wheel tightly, not daring to make the slightest mistake. This kind of sense of urgency made her heart race, and the sweat glands in her hands also started to work.
She liked this feeling, just like how the Sovereign King wished to meet his subjects, Cao Fang also liked to play with her rights. Even if becoming king meant shouldering the fate of countless of his subjects, Cao Fang would not hesitate to take responsibility for it.
If she had been born a few months earlier, or if she was a man, she would have been the Lord of the Zenith Clan.
But now, she could only be a rebellious daughter.
"Do you enjoy the feeling?" Cao Fang asked Zhou Heng.
There was not much time left for her to rebel.
