When Han Ning heard the woman’s words, he knew that she had no intention of doing anything to him.
Therefore, he calmly pulled out the chair beside her and sat down.
“Can I have a glass of orange juice? I haven’t had a sip of water after rushing around outside for the entire afternoon. I’m a little thirsty.”
Han Ning turned to look at the trembling bartender in the corner.
The bartender looked at the armed men standing motionless. Without the woman’s permission, he did not dare to move.
After a while, the woman beside him chuckled and said, “Let him come over.”
The bartender came to the bar nervously, shivered, and prepared orange juice for Han Ning before being forced to go back to Ann.
“Officer Han is indeed not an ordinary person. You can still be so calm in such a situation. Should I say that you’re too bold, or is your trump card making you fearless?”
The woman looked at Han Ning beside her with interest.
“I don’t have any trump cards, but I have to admit that I’m bold. No one has ever said that I’m timid since I was young.”
Han Ning answered casually. From his expression, no one could guess that the two of them were on opposing sides. If one observed carefully, they would still be able to tell that he was on guard. The muscles in his entire body were secretly tensed, ready to fight at any moment.
“By the way, how should I address you? Ke Qing isn’t your name, right? Should I call you K?”
“Just call me K. As for my name, you’ll know it if you win.”
K, who was dressed in a red dress, suddenly smiled, as if she felt that Han Ning was very interesting.
“Alright, then let’s delay our self-introduction a little…”
Han Ning shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly. He turned around and carefully looked at K beside him. This face was indeed very similar to Ke Qing’s. If the two of them were completely unrelated and had never had plastic surgery, he could only sigh at the wonder of the world.
“Am I beautiful? Officer Han, Are you falling in love with me at first sight? Why are you staring at me like that?”
K realized that Han Ning was staring at her face and couldn’t help but tease him. If her identity hadn’t been exposed and this handsome young man opposite her wasn’t a police officer, she wouldn’t mind starting a relationship with him.
“Very beautiful. I don’t think it’s love at first sight. I just think that this world is really magical. You and Ke Qing look almost identical, but your temperament is indeed completely different.”
Han Ning touched his chin and analyzed seriously.
“One look and you can tell that Ke Qing is a very obedient girl. She grew up obediently and lived her life. Her beauty is gentle, but you…”
Han Ning paused and sized up K.
The woman was also interested and generously displayed her body curves in front of the man.
“Your beauty is extremely invasive, like a Red Spider Lily that grows on the shore of the Three Roads River. It’s flirtatious and full of evil. It makes one unable to take their eyes off you.”
Han Ning’s explanation made K laugh non-stop. She had never thought that she would be judged like this.
“Let’s get back to the topic at hand. Why did you lure me here alone? It can’t be just to hear me praise you, right?”
After the two of them chatted for a while, Han Ning switched topics to talk about something more relevant.
“Of course not. Your praise was an unexpected gain from today. To be honest, I didn’t even know if you were going to show up. In any case, you’ll realize that you’ve been tricked after completing the three games. If that did happen, then you won’t have the chance to speak to me like now.”
“Since you can come, it means that my prediction of you is still very accurate. Your intelligence is still much better than your trash subordinates.”
Han Ning didn’t refute K’s praise, nor did he interrupt her. He just listened quietly.
“I’ve thought about it. I decided that if you can come to The Bamboo Bar, I’ll give you another chance. Before noon tomorrow, you still have one last chance to save those three fat pigs. If you didn’t show up today, then I would have left them to fend for themselves. Anyway, if you did end up playing the games, you might have even died.”
When K said the last sentence, she looked into Han Ning’s eyes. When their eyes met, Han Ning saw seriousness in the other party’s eyes and knew that his judgment was right. This woman was indeed ruthless. If he had been a step late, Zhou Zhan and Guan Feng would have been injured or killed in the Muay Thai Boxing Club.
“Then what do you want to do with this last game?”
What happened in the past was not important. Han Ning only wanted to know what K wanted him to do next. With the current situation, Han Ning had no chance to resist and could only move forward according to her request.
“According to the three games today, I want you to deduce the location of the three pigs. If you can save them before noon tomorrow, it will be your victory. If not, I win.”
Han Ning knew that if he lost, those three tycoons would die, and even the members of the special investigation team could get killed.
“Alright, Officer Han, I really enjoyed our conversation today. But that’s all for now. Your subordinates will be coming over soon.”
K finished the wine in his cup and stood up to leave.
“Ah Da, tie up Officer Han and… the two over there. We’re leaving.”
Han Ning didn’t resist and was obediently tied up. He watched K leave The Bamboo Bar from the back door.
“Officer Han, I look forward to our next meeting.”
Han Ning watched the woman leave and only smiled without saying anything else.
After everyone left the bar, Han Ning’s expression was extremely ugly. Ann tried to talk to him with a serious expression a few times but failed. The last time they met, Han Ning was still a sunny boy. However, this time, Han Ning had become a young police officer who was facing terrorists. This made her somewhat at a loss.
Not long after K left, Zhou Zhan and Guan Feng arrived. After that, Ya Cai and Ong also arrived.
Han Ning didn’t want too many ordinary people to be involved in the case too much so he brought them back to the police station.
In the police station, the special investigation team held an emergency meeting again.
Han Ning repeated the conversation between him and K to everyone. According to the game in the day, they had deduced the hiding place of the three tycoons. No one had any clues and they did not have much time left.
Han Ning, who had not slept for the entire night, was thinking about the relationship between the game and the location.
It was not until late at night that everyone fell asleep. Han Ning stared at the whiteboard in front of him that was filled with connections and gradually fell asleep.
After dawn, the first person to wake up was Ya Cai. Looking at the sleeping members, he couldn’t help but sigh. This case was the most troublesome one he had encountered since he was a police officer.
Seeing that time was flowing away bit by bit, everyone was still unable to solve K’s riddle.
This was until Han Ning had a flash of inspiration and deduced the answer.
“Those three tycoons are trapped on this uninhabited island by the sea!”
Han Ning pointed at a small island on the map that was very close to the coast.
With only two hours left, Han Ning and the others began to move.
When he rescued them, he realized that besides being locked up, the three tycoons had not suffered any substantial injuries.
Han Ning became vigilant. It was unlike K to let them save someone so easily.
“Oh no, this is K’s plan to lure the tiger out of the mountain. When we were saving them, she was already on her way to escape.”
On the way back to the police station, Han Ning suddenly thought of something and shouted anxiously.
“Quick, besides the three cars that have to return to the police station, everyone else, follow me to the airport immediately!”
Seeing Han Ning’s anxious expression, the others knew the seriousness of the matter. If K got away just like that, it would be impossible to catch her again.
Along the way, sirens sounded as the police cars rushed towards the airport with the members of the special investigation team. On the way, they encountered K’s subordinates who were ambushing them, but Han Ning ignored them. His mission was to capture K and bring her back.
The others were left behind to fight. Han Ning continued to pursue with Ya Cai and finally successfully blocked K on the flight that was about to take off.
“It seems that it was unnecessary to say goodbye yesterday. Look, we meet again so soon..” Han Ning panted heavily and said to K with a smile.
