Taxi at night

Chapter 48, Sorry, Misunderstood
Chef Le resigned, and his request for a salary increase was unsuccessful, and he was unwilling to wait without any results, so he resolutely settled his salary with the hotel and left.

Tomorrow, on May [-]st, when Chef Le walked out of the hotel gate after packing several large bags, it was already past four in the afternoon. Standing on the street and looking around, he suddenly found that he had nowhere to go.

"Fortunately, there's Lu Ren..." It's unimaginable to go out without a close friend or two.He grinned unconsciously, thought to himself, and dialed the phone.

"Hey, where is your boy?"

"It's a sports car in the city. It's strange. Are you busy calling at this hour?" Lu Ren felt his heart move when he received the call, and he opened his mouth and asked.

"Not busy, I'm very free, Lao Lu, I've resigned, I'll go to your place tonight, how about it... be happy!"

"Of course I'm happy, so I'll see you tonight." Lu Ren, who was busy recruiting passengers, did nothing but hear the second half of the sentence clearly, ignoring Chef Le's resignation message.

"Lu Ren, where is the room key? Are you still hiding it under the corner of the kitchen?" There are two room keys in Shuangjing Hutong. Lu Ren carries one with him, and the other is hidden in a crack in the wall outside the courtyard. Chef Le asked This is the key.

"That's right, in the old place... Well, what did you just say? Resigned? Just today." Lu Ren raised his eyebrows before he realized it.

"Tsk tsk, dare I talk nonsense for a long time, Lao Lu, you heard clearly... If you are free, come pick me up at the door of the hotel. There are too many things to move all at once." Chef Le yelled at the phone, He lowered his head and swept the pile of luggage under his feet, and couldn't help being amused, only after moving somewhere did he realize that Ganqing has accumulated a lot of belongings unknowingly in the past few years.

"Why are you yelling, I'm not deaf... Wait, I'll be there in half an hour." Lu Ren immediately replied, without evasive ambiguity, and immediately agreed.

In order to help and appease Chef Le, who resigned from work, Lu Ren took people to his residence, and went to the supermarket to buy good wine and food to entertain him. Since he was out of the car at night, Lu Ren didn't drink any alcohol, and almost all of the bottle of wine was given to Chef Le. I had a drink.

Then the guy fell asleep on the bed like a dead dog.Lu Ren quietly locked the courtyard door, and drove back to the street.

The streets tonight are obviously different from those in the past. There are many pedestrians and traffic, and there is a festive and prosperous scene.On the way, Lu Ren was stopped by two young men.

"Master, go to the Friendship Square in the city center."

"Alright." Lu Ren agreed, and after driving the taxi for a few meters, he pressed the meter to start the timer.

"Master, do you work the night shift? Do you feel safe at night?" The crew-cut young man sitting in the co-pilot asked very kindly.

"It's okay, except for an incident the year before last, the past two years have been uneventful."

"That's right, the robbery case the year before last. I remember the case was solved at that time, and that guy was shot last year in Chunshang. Master... you can drive with confidence in the future." The young man comforted Lu Ren, as if Knowing the case quite well, he even knew exactly when the case would be closed. Lu Ren squinted at the other party, the light and shadow intertwined, and for a while, the depth could be seen there.

Lu Ren nodded with a smile, walking silently on the street, the more he walked in, the more crowded the traffic was, relying on the excellent technology he had practiced for many years, the taxi passed through the gaps like clouds and water, and the speed didn't seem to be affected much.

"Golden Week is coming soon, please pay attention to driving safety. The total distance is a few kilometers, don't worry...drive slowly." The older man sitting in the back seat suddenly spoke, and Lu Ren involuntarily tapped the brakes, The speed of the car slowed down instantly.

Not far ahead is a street turntable, which divides into left and right forks, both of which lead to Friendship Square.Lu Ren stared at the rear through the car mirror for a few moments, no longer hesitated, turned sharply to the left, entered Jiefang Avenue, passed several cars in a row, then suddenly slowed down and lined up Come.

"What's the matter, what's the matter?" The young co-driver reacted alertly. Lu Ren made a series of abnormal operations on the road, which seemed to be showing off his driving skills, but in his eyes it was extremely abnormal.

"Did you offend someone? Why is there someone following you?" Lu Ren vaguely sensed that something was wrong shortly after the two of them got into the car. , he can be absolutely sure that someone is watching.

"Are you sure there is a car following?" The man in the back seat was a little skeptical.

"See that green taxi behind you?"

"I see, it seems that the car is full of people." The man in the back seat turned his head to observe carefully, and said calmly.

"Now I'm going to change the route and pass through a small alley in front. You two pay attention to observe and see if he is still following?"

The two nodded and concentrated on observing the vehicles behind them.

The taxi then turned right and changed lanes. After driving for several hundred meters along the rightmost lane, it turned into a dimly lit alley at the exit of a fence.

"Don't tell me, the car behind is really following us. Captain, I'm afraid it's really coming for us." The young man sitting in the passenger seat laughed instead of being surprised, staring at the car behind quite interestingly, the corner of his mouth A contemptuous smile evoked.

"Master, pull over and stop. Don't be afraid, we are the police." The man in the back seat smiled and patted the back of the car with his hand, signaling Lu Ren to stop.

"This place is not good. There is a family courtyard not far in front. It is safer to park there..." Lu Ren was thoughtful and knew the place by heart. There were security guards and passers-by at the entrance of the family courtyard, so it was the best place to park.

But something happened that he never expected, the car behind suddenly accelerated to catch up, rushed in front of his car, and then braked to a stop, blocking his way.

It was too late, it was so fast, the car in front hadn't come to a stop, the doors had been opened one after another, four or five young men jumped out of the car and walked straight to Lu Ren's taxi.

This posture couldn't be more obvious. This group of people is indeed coming towards them. Even a fool can see that something is wrong now.

"Get out of the car." The two men in Lu Ren's car opened the door at the same time, one took out a police card from his arms, and the other showed a pair of gleaming handcuffs from his waist, and shouted in unison: "Police, you Who is it? Squat down against the wall for me."

This sudden change caused the menacing people on the opposite side to stop immediately, showing expressions of astonishment.

When they saw the glaring handcuffs and the police officer's ID, they were all shocked, and obediently lined up and squatted against the wall.

Then there was some inquiry and inspection, asking why they followed up?

"Officer, we didn't have any malicious intentions. We thought we met someone we knew, so we followed along. Who would have thought that it was Tian Hei who made a mistake, and it was really a mistake."

"Yes, police officer, we are all good people! If you don't believe me, you can check it online, and there is no bad person."

……

Lu Ren stood aside and looked at the crowd carefully, but he didn't recognize anyone.He turned his head secretly, puzzled: Is it really a mistake?
