Chapter 1 Showdown

The restaurant's speakers are playing popular tracks, the latest one being "Solo" by singer Jennie.

The strong Bass is paired with the extremely addictive main melody, and the DROP becomes more and more explosive in the second half.

This song may be suitable for use in such a civilian restaurant.

But the guests around didn't seem to be enthusiastic about it. Under the warm lights, everyone was eating quietly and occasionally chatting softly.

Chen Gewei was sitting in the corner, with his head lowered and his eyes calmly looking around, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

The dark brown dining table was in front of his chest, covering most of his body.

The red and black sports backpack was completely exposed and placed on his left side.

A finger-sized Crayon Shin-chan hangs alone, tied to the buckle of his backpack through a thin white nylon rope.

The westernmost seats are all made of wooden leather seats with layers of sponge covered with artificial leather, which are generally quite comfortable.

In the middle of the restaurant, a young woman wearing a white dress and maroon high heels sat down, elegantly put her handbag aside, and then waited quietly.

The pop music echoing in the sky above the restaurant was becoming more and more exciting at the moment, and every word sung by the female singer was clearly transmitted to Lu Meiying's ears.

After Chen Gewei sat down, he said directly.

"What do you want?"

After Chen Gewei's eyes stayed on her for two seconds, he immediately stood up, picked up his sports bag, and walked over quickly.

The woman's face became solemn, visible tension began to condense on her whole body, and her rapidly accelerating heartbeat made her mind tremble.

Chen Gewei looked at her. She was his roommate's girlfriend. They met a month and a half ago and they had just established a relationship.

Chen Gewei withdrew his gaze and returned it to the woman in front of him.

The woman recognized Chen Gewei. Although she was a little surprised by his appearance, she still sat calmly and made no move.

Before Chen Gewei finished speaking, a piercing siren sounded outside.

A transparent document bag contains a thumb-thick document and many photos.

His tone was flat, as if he was stating a trivial matter, and his expression was as cold and numb as if he was sitting in front of the computer typing code on weekdays.

The woman's eyes instantly lost their luster, and she fell heavily back to her position, her arms hanging down weakly.

The young head of the IT company looked at his phone, checked the time, put it away with a sigh of relief, and then said calmly.

The woman's exquisite makeup still helped her stay calm, but her eyes twitched quickly and unconsciously. She blinked, and then she carefully wanted to ask a question.

At the same time, he squeezed the tabletop hard, stood up halfway, and was ready to run away at any time.

Lu Meiying's psychological defense was immediately broken, she turned her head and looked outside the restaurant in panic.

"Yin Xiangyu can't come today. I invited you here."

"You were sentenced to three years and five months for fraud, and you were just released from the southern prison two months ago. After you were released, you connected with your accomplices and obtained Yin Xiangyu's information."

Chen Gewei said calmly while placing them on the table.

"In addition, next time you plan to commit fraud, you'd better make sure the target doesn't have any friends in the security industry, and don't deliberately provoke their relationship."

He looked out the window expectantly, the eagerness in his eyes seemed to be waiting for his lover.

Chen Gewei said, looking outside the cafe.

He walked straight to the woman and stretched out his hand to pull open the baroque-style chair. Chen Gewei sat down under the woman's surprised gaze.

"They should be ready to pick you up at any time now, right? After all, you have to accompany the real estate company boss in the north of the city to a dinner party tonight."

"I hacked your cell phone. I have all the information about your group and have reported it to the police. They should be here now..."

Chen Gewei spoke again, put his backpack on his back at the same time, and then looked at the woman with cold eyes.

Turning back to look in the direction where Chen Gewei left, the tall figure had already reached the partition.

The surrounding guests all looked over, but Chen Gewei had already stood up first and picked up his sports backpack.

"I had to fight on two fronts just after I was released from prison. It was quite hard."

"Miss Lu Meiying, this is your real name, right?"

Chen Gewei calmly turned sideways, reached out to unzip his sports bag, and took out a document from inside.

Seeing the calm expression of the man opposite, Lu Meiying bit her lip and asked in a deep voice.

"The real estate developer also knows about your affairs. Even if you escape the police, you will still have to face them when you go out. That may be safer in prison."

But the man in front of him had already spoken first.

After saying that, Chen Gewei took a step forward and left the scene lightly.

"I advise you to follow the police obediently."

"Oh! Minister Chen?"

Chen Gewei paused.

Crayon Shin-chan hanging on his backpack is making funny poses, swaying from side to side with his steps.

The door of the restaurant was pushed open, and three or four plainclothes police officers walked in.

He glanced left and right and determined the woman's position.

He passed by Chen Gewei and walked towards her together.
