Chapter 840: Chapter 375: Proper Arrangements

"Ah? Haven’t you already asked?"

"But you didn’t answer!"

Looking at Chen Zhiyu, whose eyes and brows carried a hint of anger, Gu Ji’s eyelid twitched. He thought to himself, why is she bringing up this matter again? Nevertheless, he maintained a facade of calm, showing a sincere smile.

"She drank too much, I was just sending her back to the hotel, that’s all."

"Hmph, who knows what you all did."

Although Chen Zhiyu said this, her tense shoulders had already begun to relax, and the atmosphere was no longer as grim as before.

The two grew up together since they were little.

Gu Ji knew this girl too well. If she were truly angry, she wouldn’t give him a chance to speak, let alone now, when she intentionally pulled a face. Could it be that she’s jealous and wants me to coax her?

Heh...

Seeing this, an idea suddenly popped into Gu Ji’s mind.

"Xiaoyu, you can’t just say things like that. We’re just colleagues and friends. She’s here in Ningzhou just to learn about our team’s training methods."

"Really?"

Chen Zhiyu turned her head, a hint of suspicion in her eyes.

"Really, if you don’t believe me, I’ll call Li Yanan right now in front of you."

As he spoke, Gu Ji pretended to pull out his phone.

But halfway through, Chen Zhiyu reached out to stop him, "Are you crazy? It’s so late, there’s no need to disturb her over such a small thing!"

Alright then, now it’s become a small thing...

Gu Ji muttered to himself, then sincerely said to Chen Zhiyu, "I’m just trying to ease your worries!"

"I, I was just casually asking..."

Hearing this, Chen Zhiyu’s face blushed suddenly, and she immediately turned around, facing away from Gu Ji.

Unlike the cold and charming Li Yanan, Chen Zhiyu was more like the girl next door. Even though she was in a business outfit, the hair draping over her shoulders revealed her snowy neck skin occasionally. The gentle breeze swept by, pressing the white shirt against her body, accentuating her slim and graceful figure.

Without realizing it, this girl’s hair had grown so long...

Gu Ji never understood why, despite getting used to short hair during four years of police school, Chen Zhiyu suddenly started growing it out after graduation? So he simply asked, "Xiaoyu, I’ve noticed you haven’t been cutting your hair short lately?"

"Doesn’t long hair look good on me?"

Chen Zhiyu slowly turned around, smoothing the strands of hair near her shoulders, a glimmer of anticipation in her eyes.

This is a trick question!

Gu Ji wasn’t a fool.

"It looks good."

Hearing his affirmation, Chen Zhiyu immediately brightened up, muttering softly, "I knew you liked this..."

Gu Ji only caught half the sentence, causing his eyelid to twitch involuntarily.

No way!

Could it be that Chen Zhiyu suddenly decided to grow her hair long because of me?

Is there some inevitable logic in this?

A string of question marks appeared over his head as he began to reminisce about the women he had interacted with.

Then he suddenly realized, the girls he liked since childhood and the girlfriends he dated, indeed all had long hair.

This seemed to be the reason why Chen Zhiyu was in such a good mood, especially since Li Yanan had short hair. She even generously patted Gu Ji on the shoulder, "It’s getting late, you haven’t slept well these past few days during the mission, go home and get some rest. I’ll come find you early tomorrow!"

"I’ll take you home... huh?"

Gu Ji instinctively wanted to take the girl home, but hearing the sudden change of plan, he nearly ran his thought processor dry.

Why did it suddenly become a morning date?

He had just agreed with Li Yanan to take her to the airport early in the morning!

"Huh? What, aren’t you off tomorrow, Zhou has been on duty for a long time, hasn’t he? I haven’t gone shopping for a while; accompany me like a knight accompanying his lord, will you?"

Chen Zhiyu playfully grabbed his wrist, swaying it back and forth.

Gu Ji knew well that if he dared refuse now, this girl would definitely bite him.

Yet, he had to take Li Yanan to the airport tomorrow.

For a moment, his brain quickly calculated, feigning a tired look, he yawned, "Okay, but tomorrow’s Saturday, everyone’s going out, the traffic will definitely be heavy, we’ll waste so much time on the road. Why don’t we just meet directly at the old street corner?"

No doubt.

Gu Ji’s acting was impeccable.

Even Chen Zhiyu felt a bit embarrassed, "Sounds good, then you can sleep more. Let’s set it at 9:30, how about it?"

"Done!"

Gu Ji agreed promptly.

Li Yanan’s flight was at 8:45 in the morning. After sending her, at most by 8 o’clock, he’d return from Lukou International Airport to the downtown old street corner, an hour and a half was definitely enough.

Saturday.

Gu Ji woke up early, and while he was brushing his teeth and washing his face, Li Yanan sent a message saying she was already packed.

He wiped his face, changed into a pair of casual pants and a tracksuit top, and before leaving, put on a gray baseball cap, showcasing his sunny and athletic appearance perfectly.

From the hotel to the airport, it was exactly 7:05 AM.

Collecting tickets, checking in luggage.

Everything was proceeding according to his plan.

It wasn’t until they reached the security check area that Gu Ji finally stopped, "Safe travels, take care!"

Li Yanan turned around, smiling warmly at Gu Ji, "Thank you for teaching me so much, I hope I can keep up with you the next time we meet."

"Hahaha, you’re already very impressive."

Gu Ji awkwardly tugged at his jacket.

After watching Li Yanan line up at the security check area, he finally took out his phone, preparing to take the subway to the downtown old street corner, "7:53, I have plenty of time!"

"Move aside for me!!"

"Sir, you cannot leave right now!"

...

Just as Gu Ji was about to leave, suddenly, a fierce argument erupted behind him.

He stopped and turned around, noticing there was a middle-aged passenger arguing loudly with the security check staff in the lane where Li Yanan was.

Around them, a group of curious bystanders gathered, taking out their phones to record the scene.

"Let me tell you, I’ve been living abroad for years, you’re not qualified to stop me!!"

"Sir, please calm down, we need your cooperation for the inspection!"

"I won’t accept it! Don’t touch me! Get lost immediately, don’t delay my flight, I’ll never come back to this damn country again!!"

Suddenly, the conflict escalated rapidly. The middle-aged passenger cursed nonstop and pushed the obstructing security personnel, causing a scuffle.

"Hey! Who is this guy, so arrogant!"

"Don’t know, seems like he’s refusing inspection..."

"What a poser!"

"Come on, everyone, don’t just stand around here, it’s dangerous. Please disperse right away!"

At that moment, the airport security responsible for safety outside the security check, seemingly receiving some information, began clearing the surrounding crowd, sealing off the check area, maintaining order.

Gu Ji noticed that all the indicator lights in the security check channels suddenly turned red from green.

This indicates that the security lanes had begun to close.

It’s well known that airports generally have contingency measures, especially for emergencies and security gate channels. In the event of unexpected situations, the airport’s security department will immediately initiate an emergency plan, closing channels as a precautionary measure.

If it were merely a regular dispute, at most, only the specific channel would pause; there’s no need for such a fuss.

His instincts told him something more serious was happening!

Gu Ji immediately took out his phone and tried calling Li Yanan, but nobody answered. In desperation, he rushed to the blockade line, found the airport security officer in charge, taking out his junior police officer badge, "I’m Gu Ji, a SWAT officer with the City Police Dragon and Tiger Assault Team, my colleague is inside, can you tell me what’s happening?"

Initially, the airport security, seeing Gu Ji rushing over, instinctively reached for his waist.

Upon seeing the badge, he immediately beamed with joy.

In Ningzhou’s police circles and security sector, almost no one was unaware of the Dragon Tiger Assault Team’s reputation. He hurriedly leaned over and whispered cautiously in Gu Ji’s ear, "Mr. Gu, a passenger refused security checks and verbally abused the staff, and most importantly, he said... he had a bomb in his ass!!"
