Seeing the System offering such a generous reward, the two were clearly not minor henchmen who had committed just a light offense.
Jiang Ning’s footsteps halted as she was originally moving forward.
Qi Xingzhou, walking beside her, also stopped, puzzled, "What’s wrong?"
"Those two." Jiang Ning subtly signaled and then made a gesture. This gesture was something the two had previously agreed upon, in case a criminal appeared and Jiang Ning was not in a position to speak out, she would make this gesture to alert Qi Xingzhou.
Seeing this, Qi Xingzhou’s eyes narrowed slightly.
And through the System, Jiang Ning had also learned the identities of Zhang Gao and Shan Qingjie.
What a coincidence to not speak of it.
Cen Yufang had just this morning been boasting about her powerful backer in the office, and now Jiang Ning had run into them.
When Cen Yufang was showing off her connections before, Jiang Ning had thought about rounding up everyone backing her but Cen Yufang did not reveal the identity of the person behind her, and the System hadn’t issued a new mission, so Jiang Ning had to let it go.
The case involving Cen Yufang had a dreadful impact and severe consequences, and with the entire internet population watching, it had surely attracted high-level police attention to the case.
Jiang Ning believed that even if she did not make the arrest, the police would follow the trail and investigate the person behind Cen Yufang to bring them to justice, so Jiang Ning walked without pressure.
What she hadn’t expected was that Zhang Gao and Shan Qingjie, these two slippery eels, had quickly packed their bags and gone to the airport just after Cen Yufang was netted.
Watching the two men hurryingly panicked, Jiang Ning had an illogical thought pop into her mind: It’s not the weekend today, so why are these two showing up at the airport at this time, unless they plan to use a plane to escape?
The public security system is gradually improving, and as soon as Cen Yufang can’t take the pressure and gives them up, the police will check and soon find their whereabouts.
Even if the plane has already taken off, police officers will be eagerly waiting at the destination.
Why would these two choose the airport of all places to run to?
But this unexpectedly worked out for her and Qi Xingzhou!
Jiang Ning thought this and quickly followed them, then jogged up in front of the two, reaching out to grab one of their suitcases, "Uncle, do you need help with all this luggage? Let us help you carry it!"
The sudden outstretched hand startled Zhang Gao, who declined with caution, "No need, no need."
"It’s no trouble, my friend is very strong, don’t be shy!" Jiang Ning smiled, pulling Qi Xingzhou who was beside her to the front, and then, as if suddenly recognizing the identities of the two men before her, she couldn’t help exclaiming, "Director Shan? Secretary Zhang?!"
Zhang Gao and Shan Qingjie paled upon hearing this, nearly dropping their luggage to the ground.
The last thing they wanted at this moment was for their identities to be exposed!
They both stopped in their tracks and looked at Jiang Ning with a wary expression.
Unaffected by their cautious gazes, Jiang Ning continued with a smile, "So it really is you."
Zhang Gao narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing the masked young woman before him, with a mixture of astonishment and suspicion, "You know us?"
"Yes." Jiang Ning nodded, her tone light and harmless, "I just saw a video of you two on my phone."
Not interested in the video mentioned by Jiang Ning, Zhang Gao, and Shan Qingjie both were relieved to see that she did not appear to be an officer sent by the police. They eased up, "Young lady, thank you for your kindness, but we can handle the luggage ourselves. Your help isn’t needed."
"Wait a minute." Jiang Ning reached out, her pale and delicate fingers pressed against Zhang Gao’s suitcase. She looked up at the two men, her smile playful, "Aren’t you two curious about what video I was just watching?"
