My autobiography is definitely not a tragedy!
Chapter 56 - 55: Non-stop

Chapter 56: Chapter 55: Non-stop

Homeowner association? Security team?

What does any of this have to do with the other?

Although Meng Lang was stunned for a moment, he quickly sensed something was off from Wang Zhao Ping’s words.

And when considering the other man’s identity as a police captain...

"Ah? Things are erupting? What’s going on?" he asked.

Meng Lang followed the lead of the conversation, assuming the identity of "Director Meng."

He knew that at this time, the less said, the better.

Wang Zhao Ping inwardly sighed with relief and mentally commended Meng Lang’s reaction.

"Oh my, Director Meng, what’s with the timing? Hop in the car first; let’s talk on the way. If we’re late, I won’t be able to keep my position as head of security!"

As he spoke, Wang Zhao Ping shoved a bewildered Meng Lang into the passenger seat of the nearby parked car, not giving him a chance to say anything more.

He started the car, released the handbrake, engaged the gear, accelerated—all in one smooth motion.

As the Volkswagen Passat carrying the two men turned the street corner and vanished from sight, a middle-aged couple standing nearby finally withdrew their gaze.

"That gave me a scare; I thought it was the cops," said a middle-aged woman with a somewhat mean face, patting her chest.

The man beside her with a small mustache felt a subtle unease.

He looked around, noting many parents picking up their children, but he didn’t spot anything out of the ordinary.

"Let’s get out of here," he said.

"Huh? We’re not staking out anymore?" the woman asked, surprised.

"In our line of work, it’s not a big deal if a job falls through; being safe is what matters most! Let’s go!"

With that, he pulled the woman into a van parked nearby...

...

Elsewhere.

"Captain Wang, what the hell is happening?" Meng Lang asked, bewildered, after the car had turned the corner and Wang Zhao Ping had relaxed.

"Oh man, Brother Meng, you couldn’t have picked a worse time to show up," said Wang Zhao Ping with a pained smile.

"Remember that human trafficker Yuan Li mentioned?"

"I remember it! Uh... you weren’t just..." Meng Lang’s eyes widened.

"Yes! I was just on a stakeout..." Wang Zhao Ping nodded helplessly.

"The guy responsible for connections in the city has been under our surveillance, and we found a suspicious middle-aged couple who had secretly contacted him. We suspect they are his accomplices, and we’ve been tailing them all day.

Our main force is standing by at the station, and I’m leading another team for the stakeout. Unfortunately, in the time it took to have a cigarette...

Meng Lang, seeing Wang Zhao Ping’s somewhat haggard face, knew that he must have been on duty all night and felt awkward.

"Sorry, Captain Wang, I had no idea about the situation. Nothing’s been messed up, has it?"

"It was good you reacted quickly, it should have..." Wang Zhao Ping was about to say there was no issue when suddenly the radio in the car crackled to life.

"Szzt~ Team 2 calling Captain Wang, it looks like the targets have been spooked. They’ve gotten into a van and are leaving! Szzt~"

Wang Zhao Ping: "..."

Meng Lang: "..."

Without a moment to consider Meng Lang at his side, Wang Zhao Ping immediately grabbed the radio, "Team 2, follow them at once, confirm the targets’ route. Are they heading to the motel where they stayed last night?"

"It doesn’t seem like it, they didn’t head back the same way but turned onto Sanxiang Road... Oh no! We’ve hit a red light and they’re getting away from us!

Captain, it’s rush hour; there’s too much traffic and a risk of losing them!"

"Damn it!" cursed Wang Zhao Ping under his breath, he fiercely turned the steering wheel, making the car execute an emergency U-turn.

Meng Lang almost fell off his seat and nearly hit the car window, which scared him into hurriedly buckling his seatbelt.

"Group 2, continue the pursuit, and try not to fall too far behind. Have the traffic department cooperate with us to lock down the vehicle," Wang Zhao Ping ordered urgently.

"The traffic department has already locked onto the target. They just got onto the West Ring Road viaduct."

"The West Ring Road viaduct?" Wang Zhao Ping was stunned for a moment before his expression changed, "No good! They’re trying to leave the city!"

Wang Zhao Ping’s heart raced as he turned onto a less crowded road.

"Once they leave the urban area, the density of road surveillance will drop sharply. We must keep up with them before they escape the monitored area!"

"Group 2 to Captain, we’ve been blocked by traffic, and we’ve lost sight of the target, beep beep!" A somewhat urgent honking sound came over the radio.

It really was a case of misfortunes never coming singly!

Wang Zhao Ping floored the accelerator and drove onto the overpass, constantly overtaking other cars, but still did not catch a glimpse of the others.

"Uh..."

Suddenly, a feeble voice came from beside him, causing Wang Zhao Ping to turn his head and look.

"Eh? Why are you still here?"

Meng Lang was momentarily speechless.

"Well, I did want to get out of the car, but just now with the tense atmosphere, I didn’t feel it was right to speak up..."

"Forget it, I’ll find an opportunity to let you out later. Chasing them is more important right now."

"Understood, understood. It was my own recklessness just now. Next time I see an undercover cop on the street, I’ll definitely remember not to acknowledge them, absolutely pretending not to know them!"

"Sigh! This wasn’t your fault, either. Who could have expected that they would be so cautious, scared off by the slightest rustle of the leaves? But this all the more proves that there’s definitely something wrong with them!"

"You said those two are part of a human trafficking gang. What were they doing there?" Meng Lang asked curiously.

"There are several primary schools and kindergartens nearby, and residential areas are dense. According to my guess, they were probably on a scouting mission to select targets!" Wang Zhao Ping continued to weave through traffic while casually explaining.

"What?" Meng Lang was startled.

That was a bustling district. Had human traffickers become so brazen nowadays?

Wait a second, why wasn’t such a thrilling incident mentioned in the last episode of "Revelation"?

Right, in that episode, I didn’t notice Yan Weiwei’s tail, which probably resulted in the custody being snatched away, eliminating the chance encounter with Wang Zhao Ping this morning?

Did I just knock history’s wheels off track once again...?

"Sssht—Captain Wang, they’ve exited the viaduct and it looks like they’re going to enter the Su Ning Highway through the ’Su Nan’ toll booth. Sssht—"

"Alright, I’ll get there first. Team 3, end standby mode and get to the location as fast as you can with Group 2. I’m guessing they’re probably heading back to their hideout!"

"Roger that!"

As the car’s speed increased and they moved further away from the urban area, Meng Lang felt somewhat at a loss for words.

I just went out to drop off a child, never thought I’d end up miles away...

How could one incidentally stumble into the middle of a police chase?

I always feel like this world is out to get me...

However, this situation was messed up because of me, and in such a race against time, it just didn’t seem right to make Wang Zhao Ping waste time stopping to let me out.

Moreover, you can’t just stop on the overpass.

But as the highway toll station got closer, Meng Lang’s eyes lit up.

Isn’t this the perfect opportunity to get off?

"Beep!" The car’s ETC beeped once, and the barrier in front lifted. Wang Zhao Ping nearly didn’t slow down as he sped through.

emm...

I lament this relentless modern life...
