Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 232 Start taking action

Entrance to Room B, 13th Floor, Nebula Building

Zhu Chaoran, dressed in a yellow delivery uniform from a certain company, stood at the door of Room B, holding a plate of fried rice noodles he had bought earlier from a street vendor. This was his pretext for knocking, and he couldn't be careless. Because he had rushed over, his yellow helmet was askew, and his forehead was covered in a fine layer of sweat.

While the person who opened the door ran inside to ask questions, Zhu Chaoran blinked his big eyes and tried his best to peek through the crack in the door, hoping to find some clues.

Unfortunately, a huge screen was deliberately placed behind the door, and apart from some indistinct voices coming from inside, there was nothing else of any use.

Zhu Chaoran was a little unsure, and nervously took out his phone, pretending to play around, and quickly edited the text before sending it to Chen Shu.

A short while later, a middle-aged woman wearing black-rimmed glasses, with long wavy hair and red lips, came over. She looked very sophisticated and greeted us with a smile: "Young man, is this takeout you're delivering to our area?"

"Yes, please accept this."

As Zhu Chaoran spoke, he pretended to hand over the takeout bag he was carrying, but in his heart he was already preparing to slip away, just waiting for the other party to refuse.

The man with the wavy hair maintained his smile, took the delivery bag, peeked inside, and then replied, "Oh, nobody here has ordered delivery. This isn't for my family. You must have delivered to the wrong place, bro."

"Okay, sorry, I'll be going now." Upon hearing this expected reply, Zhu Chaoran, who was in a hurry to go back, answered without thinking. He then turned around and walked towards the elevator, completely ignoring the fried rice noodles still in Da Bolang's hand.

Big Waves frowned, looking at the chubby deliveryman's back as he waited at the elevator door, a hint of doubt rising in his heart.

She didn't immediately call out to the deliveryman who had forgotten the takeout bag in her hand. Instead, she stared at the takeout in her hand for a long time, turning it over and over, and felt that today's takeout was a little different from usual.

It's just an ordinary plate of stir-fried rice noodles. The warmth in my hand proves that the dish was freshly made, and a sniff reveals a familiar aroma.

Looking at the distinctive yellow packaging bag with the shop's logo on the fried rice noodles, and thinking about it carefully, the shop is only one street away, so it doesn't seem like a problem.

“But…” Big Waves couldn’t help but mutter.

Takeout order!!!
The outer packaging of this stir-fried rice noodle dish was missing the takeout information slip that should have been printed on a white background with black lettering!

Amidst the flashes of lightning and thunder, Big Wave realized the problem. She gasped sharply, a chill running down her spine.

She jogged to the elevator, but the chubby deliveryman was nowhere to be seen except for the flashing down indicator light. After a moment's hesitation, she picked up the delivery bag and hurried towards the Chairman's office.

As I passed the break room, I saw the debt collection team members laughing and joking around inside, which made me feel annoyed.

He stepped into the break room and pointed at a middle-aged man with a full beard, saying, "Old Zhang, you guys should leave early tonight. You don't need to stay at the company for the night shift."

"Yes, Sister Li," the bearded man replied respectfully, then glanced around. "You all heard that, right? Pack up, it's time to go home!"

"Ok!"

"Hey! Brother Zhang, it's still early today, let's go for a drink!"

"Let's drink! Let's go to that newly opened mutton hot pot restaurant next door."

After giving her instructions, Sister Li turned around to leave the room to find Boss Wang when she noticed a thin man sitting at the doorway, his head down and his hands rapidly tapping on his phone screen.

Sister Li stared at the other person's phone for a moment, then slapped it on the head: "Go home first, then you can act as a pimp."

The thin man covered his head with one hand and repeatedly agreed.

Upon entering the chairman's office, I saw President Wang standing in front of the newly hung plaque, sipping tea and nodding his head.

“Mr. Wang, I think there’s something wrong with that delivery person. Look, there’s no delivery information slip on this delivery bag.”

"Oh?" Mr. Wang smiled, thought for a moment, and didn't even look at the takeout bag that Sister Li handed him.

"Sister Li, it's just a food delivery guy, why are you so nervous? Relax. If it were the police, they would have rushed in the moment Xiao Zhou opened the door."

Sister Li's heart, which had been pounding the whole time, finally calmed down after Mr. Wang said those words.

She smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Wang, I was just nervous."

Not far from the Nebula Building, four cars were parked haphazardly on the roadside, with everyone inside waiting for Chen Shu's instructions.

Inside one of the Santana cars!

"Fatty sent a message, there are people in the room, quite a few! Hehe, we're going to have meat tonight!" Chen Shu put his phone on the center armrest, looked around and said with a smile.

Xu Lei asked in confusion, "Senior brother, actually, there's something I've been keeping to myself."

"You said."

"Why didn't we just follow behind Fatty? If someone opened the door, we could have just rushed in."

Chen Shu nodded, confirming Xu Lei's question, and then explained, "If someone is inside, we can definitely just rush in and get things done. But have you considered what if no one is inside?"

With so many of us going up there, it's impossible for us to remain silent in such a commercial building. This is their stronghold; there are bound to be many acquaintances and neighbors here, making it very easy to alert them. If we do, who knows where they might all run off and never come back.”

Xu Lei nodded and didn't say anything more.

Yu Yu, Wang Chongming, Liu Zhongwu, Xu Lei and the other two focused their attention on Chen Shu.

Chen Shu said in a deep voice, "I will now reiterate the work arrangements. Yu Yu, you first take some people to the property management office of Xingyun Building and, under the pretext of inspecting the fire safety, wait in the power room for my instruction to cut off the power. Is there no problem cutting off the power to Room B on the 13th floor?"

"No problem, didn't we practice at their Building 2 yesterday?"

"Brother Liu, you take your men and secure the building's front desk and property management office. If anyone calls, tell them you'll be sending an electrician over."

"Understood. You're only allowed to enter, not leave. All cell phones will be confiscated."

"Brother Wang, take your men up the building's fire escape stairs and lie in ambush outside the 13th-floor stairwell. Wait for my signal to break down the door. Remember to bring a breaching device."

"it is good."

"Xu Lei, take two men and guard the lobby on the first floor. Act according to the situation."

"receive."

Chen Shu adjusted his black security uniform, which resembled the one worn by the Nebula Building, and said, "I'll take Xiao Qiang, disguised as an electrician, to room B on the 13th floor to trick him into opening the door. If that fails, Brother Wang will lead a group to break down the door with a breaching machine. Does anyone have any questions?"

Xu Lei continued to raise his hand, gesturing, "Senior brother, why don't we just break down the door?"

"Sometimes breaching tools can't handle security doors. If too much time passes, the person inside might jump out of a window in desperation. If they die, we'll be held responsible. Remember this: deceiving the door is best, dismantling the door is second best, and breaking in is the worst. Any questions?"

Chen Shu glanced around and, seeing no further reaction, gave the order:
"Okay, everyone, please be careful. Remember, it's better to fail than to fail, but to ensure safety."

"go!"

As soon as the car door opened, Yu Yu, Wang Chongming, Liu Zhongwu, Xu Lei, and the other two immediately dispersed.
