The terrifying person whom he could not afford to provoke had left. He still had to settle the score regarding the matter with Zhu Shengnan.

After all, the other party had caused trouble in Tongcheng previously. If Zhou Ze and Lawyer An had not handled it properly, Zhou Ze would have had to bear the punishment of the Yin Department. At that time, Boss Zhou had already mentally prepared himself to escape the pursuit of the Yin department patrol officers.

Moreover, Little Loli"s disappearance seemed to have something to do with the other party causing trouble in the mountain area.

However, this had to wait. At the very least, he had to wait until Yingying brought his physical body over. His physical body had to return to its original position before anything else could be done.

It was just like “Kangxi"s Secret Interview In Disguise”. Without that dragon robe, even the emperor would be at a loss.

After that incident, Zhou Ze and Zhang Yanfeng didn"t dare to sit on the streets anymore. Old Zhang took his phone. He wanted to take a taxi to take Zhou Ze to the high-speed railway station so he could wait for Yingying and the others. This would save them the time between getting off the high-speed railway station and finding people.

Most importantly, it would save them a lot of trouble. They had just been sitting on the street when they ran into a local ghost.

Unfortunately, Didi happened to stop service late that week. He couldn"t take a taxi. It was very difficult to get a taxi.

In the end, Old Zhang had no choice. He showed his police ID and borrowed an electric bike from a convenience store employee.

Then, he tied Zhou Ze to his waist with a shoelace and let Zhou Ze sit behind him. The electric bike started up towards the railway station.

Let"s go!

The electric bike was a little b.u.mpy on the way because they were driving very fast. Zhou Ze didn"t have to worry about slipping down because he was tied.

“Old Zhang…”

“Yes, boss.”

“I"ve never sat on a bike like this in my life.”

“Didn"t you sit on your father"s bike when you were young?”

Most people had sat in the backseat of their father"s bike when they were young, especially those born in the 1980s and 1990s. The parents of those born in the 1990s might have bought more bikes.

“I"m an orphan. I grew up in an orphanage.”

“Oh, I"m sorry, boss.”

“It"s okay. How long has it been? Oh, right, you"ve sat on one before, right?”

“I"ve sat on it. I used to ride my dad"s Jiefang bicycle a lot. The happiest time of the day was when my dad rode the bicycle and drove me to school in his police uniform. My cla.s.smates are all envious of me.”

“That"s great.”

It was late at night. Two middle-aged men rode an electric bike together. It was considered the standard according to their mental age. They were chatting about their childhood

There was a barbecue stall next to them that hadn"t closed yet. Luo Dayou"s “The Story of Time” was playing on the stereo. It was quite fitting.

“Boss, is there any way to improve yourself? To improve your…”

“You want to say strength?”

“Yes.” Old Zhang felt that his usefulness was too small.

“You don"t have to think about this.”

“Yes?”

“Just be a good cop. When I saved you and gave you the ghost evidence, I wasn"t planning on how you could help me or how you could help me.”

“Then, why?”

“I just thought that it would be a pity for a good cop like you to die. It"s as simple as that.”

“…” Zhang Yanfeng.

“Old Zhang, if you want to be a cop, just be a cop wholeheartedly. I won"t trouble you with anything else. Just be a good cop. Don"t listen to Lawyer An"s incessant talk about how saving you was a failed investment. To be honest, I don"t think there"s anything to lose. There are many good policemen in this world, but there aren"t many like you.”

“Tell me people spend their entire lives doing things that have a beneficial purpose. However, in reality, the purpose of all this hard work is actually to have the freedom to do things that don"t have a beneficial purpose.”

“Boss, stop talking.”

“Yeah, isn"t it too emotional?”

“If we cry, we won"t be able to see the road clearly. What if we both fall to our deaths?”

“Yeah, I saved you, a good-for-nothing. If I let you, a good-for-nothing, fall to your death while driving…”

“Thank goodness.”

“…” Zhang Yanfeng.

The small electric bike sped all the way and finally arrived at Xuzhou Railway West station. The two of them sat by the flowerbed outside the station. They waited patiently.

Not long after, Old Zhang"s cell phone rang. It was Bai Yingying.

“h.e.l.lo, boss, we"ve arrived at the station. Where are you? I"m carrying your body right now!”

At the thought of a high school girl carrying his body in the crowd, Zhou Ze felt that this scene was particularly strange.

Of course, it was impossible to carry his body openly. She would probably cover his body with a blanket.

However, Bai Yingying was like a strong woman who came to the city to treat her husband"s illness. She carried a package that was even bigger than her and walked through the station.

Hiss.

He couldn"t help but want to see this scene.

“Boss, I"ll be out of the station right away. Wait a moment!”

“Okay.”

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Ze threw the phone to Zhang Yanfeng.

“I"ve got my body back. What should I do next?” Zhang Yanfeng asked.

“You just pretended to be cool. Wait for me to switch back to my body. Let"s go and be cool!”

His chest caved in. One of his legs was crippled. There was still a clear bullet hole in his temple. Despite that, he was exceptionally excited.

It was no wonder Boss Zhou was so impulsive contrary to his usual salted-fish style, a quiet and comfortable living experience. Since Boss Zhou came out of h.e.l.l this week, he had either taken pictures in front of the incinerator or danced in the morgue. He had been suppressing his grievances for too long. He desperately wanted to find a vent to let off steam for himself!

Salted fish also had emotions.

Moreover, they were old enemies. That old man or the group of people behind the old man had almost made Boss Zhou a sinner in Tongcheng. This enmity had long been irreconcilable.

The few things that the other party had instigated behind the scenes had deliberately ignited the emotions of people like Zhu Shengnan. It had caused the abduction and trafficking of female ghosts. This added fuel to the fire and made them go on a killing spree so that they could reap the benefits of the others.

Personal and public grudges, they took revenge together.

They rubbed their palms together. Their bodies, why haven"t they arrived yet?

They couldn"t wait any longer.

“Why haven"t they come out yet?” Zhou Ze asked, somewhat puzzled.

At this moment, Zhang Yanfeng"s cell phone rang again. Zhang Yanfeng stood up and looked around before answering the call at the same time.

“Yingying, we"re at the entrance of the station. Where are you guys? What, you guys are at the entrance too? Why can"t I see you guys?”

“That"s impossible, we"re here. I"m wearing a police uniform. The boss is all wrapped up.”

“Look carefully again. Look again. We"re at the car entrance. Where are you guys? I"ll look for you guys. I"ll find you.”

“The two of us are standing right here.”

Zhou Ze reached out and gently poked Zhang Yanfeng"s shoulder.

Zhang Yanfeng took out his phone and looked at Zhou Ze in confusion.

“Old Zhang.”

“Boss.”

“Which station did Yingying and the others get off at?”

“Hey, Yingying. The Boss asked which station you got off at. Oh, the East station. Boss, they said the East Station.”

“Oh.”

If Zhang Yanfeng wasn"t wearing a police cap right now, Zhou Ze wanted to slap him on the head. “Then, why did you drive the electric bike so far to the West Station?”

“…” Zhang Yanfeng.

Two men sat by the flowerbed in the morning wind. It was a little messy.

Old Zhang touched his nose, feeling a little embarra.s.sed. He was an old criminal police officer. How could he make such a mistake?

Zhou Ze was a little worried about not seeing his body appear in front of him. He had always felt a little guilty in his heart.

After people got used to having power, they would not feel anything special. It was just like once a person enjoyed a certain preferential treatment and subsidy, he would not be grateful after a while. Instead, he would get used to it and feel that he should have it as a matter of course.

However, after suddenly removing the preferential treatment and subsidy, he would feel especially unbalanced and feel that he had suffered unfair oppression.

Zhou Ze was feeling this way now. He had never felt that Xu Le"s body

was so charming and sentimental.

Waiting for someone"s Kung Fu, Zhou Ze was a little bored. He wanted to find someone to chat with. He stretched out his hand and knocked on his chest. He felt a wave of pain. His already fragile rib seemed to have been broken again.

Old Zhang, who was watching from the side, was dumbfounded.

His boss was a real man. If he had nothing to do, he would take apart his rib to relieve his boredom!

“Hey, talk.” Zhou Ze shouted in his heart.

“Say… what…”

“Have you digested?”

“I… vomited…”

“I"m just making sure that you"re still here. If I can"t beat you in a fight later, I"ll have to rely on you.”

“Aren"t you afraid… that… I"ll… eat you?”

“It"s okay. You"ve already vomited a part of it. This means that I can still have a few more times.”

“…” tick.

“Hey, why aren"t you talking again?”

“Later… maybe… you won"t need me…”

“Why? Hey, don"t be so stingy. You won"t get pregnant if you use it for a while, right? What if I go to take revenge and get killed instead? Wouldn"t that be too embarra.s.sing for you?”

“When you… take back your body… you"ll understand…”

“Understand what?”

“You… will become… strong.”

“Why? Because this crusade of the soul has unconsciously increased the strength of my soul? Is this considered cultivation?”

“Don"t be so perfunctory with me…”

“That “coffee-newspaper-sugar” can be turned over for only a few moves. Can you let me steal a few more moves?”

“You!!!”

It seemed like the words "coffee newspaper" had triggered the emotions of that person in his body. He immediately fell silent.

It was no wonder that every time he heard the names of these moves, winning hook felt an urge to perish together with that idiot.

“Alright, you should rest. Aren"t you worried that I"ve become stronger?”

“The tiger… will care… that an ant… has developed… The biceps brachii? Hehe…Ant…”

He wasn"t angry. He wasn"t angry at all.

Zhou Ze even smiled. He was looking forward to it even more. Will his strength become stronger? This way, he would have suffered for nothing.

At this moment, a van arrived at the station entrance. The door was opened. Yingying jumped out. Then, it was Lawyer An. The Old Priest was sitting in the driver"s seat. He didn"t know where they got the van from.

Yingying saw Zhang Yanfeng first. After all, Old Zhang was wearing a police uniform, so it was obvious.

“Is this… Boss?”

Yingying pointed at the person who was wrapped tightly beside Zhang Yanfeng.

“Yes, boss.” Old Zhang affirmed.

“Boss! Wu Wu Wu! I missed you so much!” Yingying pounced on Zhou Ze. She wanted a hug.

Zhou Ze was stunned for a moment. Zhang Yanfeng was also stunned for a moment. Then, he saw Yingying jump over like a little bird.

She wanted a hug. She raised it high. “Wu Wu Wu! Ka Cha!”

Yingying knocked Zhou Ze directly onto the ground. The few good ribs that were left were all broken now. A hair-raising sound of bones breaking could be heard.

“Uh…” Zhang Yanfeng.

“Sob…” Bai Yingying.

“Ah…” Lawyer An.

“Hiss…” the old man said.

“Boss! Boss?”

Yingying carried Zhou Ze up. “Boss, don"t scare me!”

“I might be a little too heavy now, but I would be too embarra.s.sed to live on if I crushed you to death. it"s too shameful!”

“Send him to the car!” Lawyer An immediately shouted.

Yingying carried Zhou Ze into the car.

A person was lying in the car. It was Zhou Ze"s original body.

“Boss, are you okay?”

Zhou Ze shook his head weakly. He was almost crushed to death by this girl.

“I"ll help you extradite your soul into your body.” Lawyer An reached out and placed his hand on Zhou Ze"s forehead.

Zhou Ze closed his eyes. Just as Lawyer An was about to extradite his soul his hand suddenly shook. Then, it went numb and he lost consciousness in an instant. Then, a jet-black smoke drifted out from his broken body. He returned to Zhou Ze"s original body.

Lawyer An was a little shocked. “Boss" soul strength has already reached this level?”

At the same time, Zhou Ze"s eyes slowly opened after his soul returned to its original position.

For a moment the skin on his body began to show a hint of dark green color. It shriveled slightly and became very solid. It carried an ancient and imposing aura!

The two fangs protruded out of his lips, revealing a chilling presence!

It belonged to the form of a zombie. Under the premise of not awakening the consciousness in his body, it took the initiative to show itself.

The Old Priest, who was sitting in the driver"s seat, holding a thermos cup and drinking goji-berry water, only felt the entire car shake.

“Bang!”

Then, the van directly sank to a height where the water in the Old Priest"s thermos cup spilled out.

The Old Priest immediately pushed open the car door and got down to check.

He took a deep breath, “Hiss! All four tires burst!”
