Chapter 1 Showdown
The restaurant's stereo plays current hits, the latest being "Solo" by singer Jennie.

The strong Bass is paired with the highly addictive main theme, and the formed DROP becomes more and more explosive in the second half.

This song may be suitable for use in such a more civilian restaurant.

But the surrounding guests didn't seem to appreciate it enthusiastically. Under the warm lighting, everyone was eating quietly and chatting softly occasionally.

Chen Gewei sat in the corner, lowered his head, and looked around calmly, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

The dark brown dining table blocked his chest, covering most of his figure.

The red and black sports backpack was completely exposed, and it was placed on his left hand.

The one-finger-sized Crayon Shin-chan hangs alone, tied to the buckle of the backpack through a thin white nylon rope.

The westernmost seats are all made of wooden leather padded seats, with layers of sponge covered with artificial leather, which is generally comfortable.

In the middle of the restaurant, a young woman wearing a long white dress and maroon high heels took her seat, elegantly put her handbag aside, and waited quietly.

Looking out of the window with anticipation, the eagerness in the eyes seemed to be waiting for his lover.

Chen Gewei looked at her. That was his roommate's girlfriend. He met a month and a half ago and had just established a relationship.

After Chen Gewei's gaze stayed on her for two seconds, he immediately stood up, picked up his sports bag, and walked over quickly.

Going straight to the woman, he stretched out his hand to open the baroque-style seat, and Chen Gewei sat down under the surprised gaze of the woman.

"Oh! Minister Chen?"

The woman recognized Chen Gewei, and although she was a little surprised by his appearance, she still sat quietly without making any gestures.

"Yin Xiangyu can't come today, I invited you over."

After Chen Gewei sat down, he said directly.

His tone was flat as if he was stating a trivial matter, and his expression was as cold and numb as if he was sitting in front of a computer typing codes on weekdays.

The woman's exquisite makeup still helped her maintain her composure, but her eyes trembled unconsciously.Blinking his eyes, he carefully tried to ask a question.

But the man in front of him had already spoken first.

"Miss Lu Meiying, this is your real name, isn't it?"

Chen Gewei turned sideways calmly, reached out to unzip his sports bag, and took out a document from it.

The transparent file bag contained a thumb-thick file and many photos.

Chen Gewei said flatly while placing them on the table.

"You were sentenced to three years and five months for fraud, and you were just released from Southern Prison two months ago. After you got out, you got in touch with your accomplices and got Yin Xiangyu's information."

Chen Gewei said, looking outside the cafe.

"Now they should be ready to meet you at any time, right? After all, you have to accompany the owner of the real estate company in the north of the city to the dinner at night."

Chen Gewei withdrew his gaze and turned it back to the woman in front of him.

"It's very hard to fight on two fronts as soon as you get out of prison."

The woman's complexion became serious, and the tension visible to the naked eye began to condense on her whole body, and the rapid heartbeat made her thoughts tremble.

The pop music reverberating above the restaurant was becoming more and more exciting at the moment, and every word sung by the female singer was clearly transmitted to Lu Meiying's ears.

Seeing the calm expression of the man opposite, Lu Meiying bit her lip and asked in a deep voice.

"What do you want?"

The head of the young IT company looked at the phone, confirmed the time, put it away with a sigh of relief, and then said calmly.

"I hacked your phone, I have all the information about your group, and I have reported it to the police, and they should have arrived by now..."

Chen Gewei hadn't finished speaking when the harsh siren sounded outside.

Lu Meiying's psychological defense was breached immediately, she turned her head and looked outside the restaurant in a panic.

At the same time, he squeezed the tabletop hard, stood up halfway, and was ready to run at any time.

The surrounding guests all looked over, and Chen Gewei had already stood up first, picking up his sports backpack.

"I advise you to obediently follow the police."

Chen Gewei spoke again, put his backpack on his back at the same time, and looked at the woman indifferently.

"The real estate agent also knew about your affairs. Even if you escaped the police, you have to face them when you go out. Maybe it would be safer in prison."

Chen Gewei paused.

"Also, the next time you plan to scam, you'd better make sure that the target doesn't have a friend in the security industry, and don't deliberately provoke their relationship."

After speaking, Chen Gewei stepped forward and left the scene calmly.

The woman's eyes lost their brilliance in an instant, and she fell heavily back to her position, her arms drooping weakly.

Looking back at the direction Chen Gewei left, the tall figure had already walked to the partition.

Crayon Shin-chan hanging from his backpack is doing funny poses, swaying from side to side as he walks.

The door of the restaurant was pushed open, and three or four plainclothes policemen walked in.

After scanning left and right, he determined the position of the woman.

Passing by Chen Gewei, they walked towards her together.
