Chapter 622: Chapter 623: Being Overly Sentimental

Ye Qiu hadn’t made things clear over the phone, so Zhao Ruxue thought Ye Qiu had found a suspect related to the mass poisoning case. She took several officers from the detective team and immediately sped towards Ye Qiu.

On the road, Zhao Ruxue noticed many other officers, but she didn’t know that this was related to a bank robbery.

Ye Qiu sat there waiting for Zhao Ruxue to arrive, while Xia Jing and the other hostages were also waiting.

"You don’t need to make any calls, the police will arrive soon."

Ye Qiu said.

Xia Jing and the other hostages had just called the police, but they weren’t sure exactly where they were, only knowing they had come off the highway and then taken the national road into the mountainous area.

About forty minutes later, Xia Jing and the other hostages suddenly saw police cars, and getting out of them were Zhao Ruxue and a few other officers.

"Ye Qiu!"

Zhao Ruxue shouted.

After Ye Qiu came over, Zhao Ruxue asked, "Where are those suspects?"

"In the van!"

Ye Qiu had just tossed the tied-up suspects into that van.

At this moment, Zhao Ruxue was still a bit confused.

Upon learning that these were indeed the bank robbers, it seemed to suddenly dawn on Zhao Ruxue.

It turned out Ye Qiu had asked Zhao Ruxue to come quickly just to let her take the credit.

"Go handcuff those suspects!"

Zhao Ruxue instructed the officers to handcuff the nine criminals, then noticed the two large suitcases of cash, as well as several sacks of cash inside.

And all the hostages were safe.

Zhao Ruxue understood clearly why Ye Qiu wanted to give her this great achievement.

"Later, when you go back to the police bureau, just say that Officer Zhao caught those criminals!"

Ye Qiu looked at Xia Jing and the other hostages and said.

But, but, it was clearly Ye Qiu who had caught them?

How had it suddenly become Officer Zhao who had caught them?

The hostages weren’t fools; like Xia Jing, they quickly realized that Ye Qiu and Zhao Ruxue must know each other. That’s why he had called Zhao Ruxue to come over and take the credit.

After calming herself down, Zhao Ruxue then took out her mobile phone to call her superior.

"Vice Director Wu, the nine criminals have been caught, and now the hostages and the bank cash are safe!"

Zhao Ruxue called Vice Director Wu.

Vice Director Wu was still at the City Police Bureau, continuously strategizing to intercept the van and ensure the safety of the hostages and the stolen bank cash on board.

He hadn’t expected that Zhao Ruxue would actually capture those criminals.

"Xiao Zhao, how did you catch them?"

"This, this I..."

Zhao Ruxue was embarrassed to claim she had caught them, because it was Ye Qiu who had caught them and then given the credit to her.

Seeing Ye Qiu’s look, Zhao Ruxue could only say, "I was out handling a case and just happened upon it."

"Then wait there, I’ll come over with some people right away."

Actually, many officers from the City Police Bureau were already searching, but their efficiency was definitely not high, and if it wasn’t for Ye Qiu beating those criminals like that, and precisely stating their location, those officers might really not have been able to find the criminals.

And these criminals might very well have managed to escape Jinling safely.

"Wait till other police cars come over, then the police will take you back to the bureau!"

Zhao Ruxue comforted the other hostages, saying.

About thirty minutes later, other police personnel arrived first and cordoned off the area.

Then more and more police officers and patrol cars arrived, even including media reporters who came to cover the event.

In this situation, Ye Qiu couldn’t afford to appear in front of the media. He just made himself seem like an ordinary hostage, hiding behind the other hostages.

"Captain Zhao, how did you manage to capture these brutal criminals?"

...

Vice Director Wu personally came over and took photos with Zhao Ruxue and the others. Only then were the criminals taken one by one to the police cars, their pain slowly dissipating.

Still, they couldn’t understand why they had felt such pain moments ago.

If it was something they ate, that still wouldn’t explain it. Could anything they ate have been more painful than appendicitis?

They could only be resigned as their heads were covered with black hoods before being led to the police cars.

Ye Qiu and the other hostages were taken to different police cars and then first brought in to give their statements.

While on the car, Xia Jing watched Ye Qiu closely.

She found it increasingly hard to understand Ye Qiu. Clearly, he was the one who had captured the criminals, yet he remained very low-key, letting Zhao Ruxue take all the credit.

Even though Ye Qiu and Zhao Ruxue knew each other and were familiar, that still didn’t justify it!

Xia Jing didn’t understand.

But, from her encounter with Ye Qiu in the bank lounge to now, she was becoming even more puzzled about what this young man was thinking.

Ye Qiu’s gaze seemed to have become very profound, elusive to her discernment.

Indeed, that made her even more curious about this young man, Ye Qiu.

The police car returned to the City Police Bureau, then the hostages were taken inside to record their statements, basically recounting their experiences with the robbers in the Industrial and Commercial Bank so it could be documented by the police.

Ye Qiu cooperated in recording a statement inside, and when he came out, he planned to return to that Industrial and Commercial Bank to retrieve his car.

He didn’t know whether the bank had resumed normal operations yet, as he still needed to withdraw several tens of thousands in cash.

Just as Ye Qiu was about to leave, Xia Jing had been personally escorted out by Director Wu, and she had reverted to her original, beautiful, graceful, and appealing demeanor, appearing like a high goddess.

However, when Xia Jing saw Ye Qiu, she hurriedly grabbed the hem of her skirt and, stepping in her high heels, she chased after Ye Qiu.

"Ye, Mr. Ye, please wait."

Ye Qiu stopped, already noticing the attractive woman.

Yet, his expression remained unchanged, as if he didn’t recognize Xia Jing.

But, in the lounge of the Industrial and Commercial Bank, Ye Qiu’s hands and shoulders had brushed against some of her private parts.

"Mr. Ye, thank you for standing up for me during the incident in the bank. I was really moved. Can we become friends?"

What Xia Jing referred to as "standing up" was actually Ye Qiu taking her place as a hostage.

This moved Xia Jing deeply, as she felt that no other man could have done such a thing for her, especially with someone as unfamiliar as Ye Qiu.

Xia Jing looked at Ye Qiu with anticipation, even blushing slightly.

"You? I stood up for you. Haha, you’re flattering yourself. I don’t even know you, nor do I want to be friends with you!"

Ye Qiu said coldly.

Flattering herself?

Hearing Ye Qiu’s words, Xia Jing suddenly felt her heart turn icy cold.

Why would Ye Qiu say something like that?

Was it because of her identity?

After speaking, Ye Qiu didn’t look back as he walked outside because he had already seen Zhao Ruxue waiting for him.
