Chapter 172: Chapter 169: The Policewoman Responsible for Showing Up

"The international manhunt for the fugitive known as k8 has led to the capture of a human trafficking network, with a total of thirty-six criminals apprehended, including k8. Twenty-six children have been rescued, with Detective Captain Zhang Lu single-handedly infiltrating the den, achieving outstanding merits. It is believed that with the police’s efforts, more hidden criminals will be brought to justice..."

This sensational news spread like wildfire, becoming a hot topic among the public.

All around the warehouse, police forces maintained the blockade, and after a fierce gun battle, all the dangerous elements inside the warehouse had long been eradicated.

Recently, all the missing children were rescued, and Zhang Lu became a national hero.

News reporters were broadcasting live, using the battlefield after the warehouse shootout as the backdrop, reporting extensively. Had the corpses of the criminals not been cleared away, it would have been even more graphic.

The scenes of parents tearfully reuniting with their children unfolded repeatedly.

Capturing these scenes became the focus for reporters in an instant.

"Ma’am, how long was your child missing for..." The reporters threw out questions one after another, and the parents being interviewed were filled with tears, expressing their gratitude to the police.

At the entrance of Yucai School, a car slowly came to a stop with three people inside: Ye Fan, Zhang Lu, and k8.

The wave of praise and discussion from the outside world, through radio and television, had already made Zhang Lu aware of the situation.

Zhang Lu’s expression was exceedingly bitter, more bitter than swallowing gall. In truth, she had grown numb to such praise. Since meeting Ye Fan, she had received many undeserved credits, as well as a lot of such praise.

What people didn’t know was that all of this was not her achievement, but Ye Fan’s.

For this, Zhang Lu could only feel frustrated, standing in front of Ye Fan’s achievements and enjoying all the overwhelming praise.

"So, this is the Zhang Lu everyone knows. Truly enlightening." k8, now deprived of freedom, spoke with a mocking tone. Even with a thousand grievances, she had to accept the consequences of her recklessness. She knew she was as good as dead, and though she had no fear, she had prepared for such a day since becoming an assassin, having anticipated such an ending.

"Shut up. Say another word, and I’ll tear your mouth apart." Zhang Lu scolded.

"Heh." k8 let out a bitter laugh.

"I’m off now, Mengyao is still waiting for me." Ye Fan prepared to get out of the car.

"Wait a minute." Almost simultaneously, both Zhang Lu and k8 spoke.

"Is there something else?" Ye Fan glanced at k8 and then ignored her, focusing his attention on Zhang Lu.

"Indeed, there is something I need your assistance with. I’ll reach out when I need you." Zhang Lu, without any concealment, straightforwardly said, "To extract useful information from k8, I still need to rely on you."

She knew that k8’s mouth, like Qin Xue’s, was very tight-lipped. Interrogation wouldn’t yield useful information and could backfire, as had happened with the Qin Xue incident. To acquire valuable information, relying on Ye Fan’s medical skills might have incredible effects.

"We’ll talk about it when the time comes." Ye Fan neither refused nor agreed.

"To get something useful from my mouth, you better give up on that hope." k8, knowing she was as good as dead, was completely unafraid. She looked at Ye Fan with a complex gaze. "You’re the one who captured k12. What did you do with her?"

Ye Fan glanced at k8 with interest, got out of the car without making any response.

"You!" k8 was furious, feeling that Ye Fan’s attitude towards her was too cold, which she resented. When she thought of herself reduced to a prisoner, no longer the commanding k8 with power over life and death, her cold eyes became gloomy.

"Behave yourself. If you dare to keep buzzing in my ear, you’ll regret it." Zhang Lu said disdainfully.

"What a joke. If you have the ability to prevent me from moving, have the ability to stop me from talking too." k8 scoffed.

"Such a shameless demand, it’s the first I’ve encountered. Since you have this wish, I’ll fulfill it." Zhang Lu turned, raising a fist and striking directly at k8’s mouth.

Now, k8 couldn’t speak, with blood gushing from her mouth.

k8 glared at Zhang Lu with hatred, eager to devour her flesh and drink her blood.

"Now behaving, aren’t you? My ears have finally found some peace." Zhang Lu smiled smugly.

At this time, the sky was growing dim, the faint glow of lights illuminating all around.

Principal Wei, seeing Ye Fan appear, hurriedly went to greet him with admiration, saying, "Mr. Ye, you’re back."

She knew that Ye Fan had accompanied Zhang Lu to pursue the bad guys. Now that the villains were captured and the children rescued, she could only assume that credit was due to Zhang Lu. While the news praised Zhang Lu profusely, she knew that in rescuing the four girls, it was mostly Ye Fan who played the decisive role, with Zhang Lu only assisting.

She used her vast imagination to determine that Ye Fan was a modest person, someone who did good while staying in the shadows, allowing others to take credit for his work.

"Principal Wei, where is Mengyao?" Ye Fan inquired.

Since he left, Mengyao had been waiting at Yucai School, not returning to the villa.

"At the amusement park, she was waiting for you after having dinner with the kids over there." Principal Wei replied with a smile.

Considering Ye Fan addressed the CEO as Mengyao, she was even more convinced of the unusual relationship between the CEO and Ye Fan.

"I’ll go find her." Ye Fan was about to leave.

Principal Wei hurriedly said, "Mr. Ye, let me lead the way. You’ll need to go through several paths, and being your first time here, you may get lost."

"Much appreciated." Ye Fan responded.

"You’re too kind, Mr. Ye. You saved the four girls; you’re our benefactor." Principal Wei smiled sincerely.

"It’s what I should do." Ye Fan replied nonchalantly.

The amusement park, situated between the middle and primary school sections of Yucai School, was empty at this time.

On the lawn, next to Chu Mengyao, sat the four children: Daniu, Dahu, Xiaowu, and Meixia.

"Sister CEO, I don’t want to be adopted anymore. I only want to consider the school my home. Is that alright?" Meixia asked cautiously.

"With so many siblings, being adopted might seem rare, like your encounter with bad people is seldom. We must believe that there are more good people than bad ones in this world, and the bad ones are just a small minority." Chu Mengyao reassured, "Having a home means gaining new family and friends, which will benefit your growth in the long run."

The incident with Yang Huili’s family left a certain shadow on Meixia.

In fact, children from Yucai School rarely got adopted.

Most parents prefer to raise their own children, and those with the enlightenment to adopt children not biologically related are very few.
