I'm not a drama god

"Puxi? How come it's there? Wasn't it in Pudong 20 minutes ago?"

"..."

"He had no cash on him, and his transaction cards were under our control. He was not detected by surveillance cameras on mainstream transportation vehicles... How did he move back and forth between Pudong and Puxi in such a short period of time?"

"..."

"Okay, I got it...Tell them to keep a close eye on me. I'll be there now."

After hanging up the phone, the figure walked straight towards a building behind him and dialed another number at the same time.

He walked through the lobby of the office building and headed straight for the elevator. As a card was attached to the instrument, the elevator immediately rose to the upper floors... The red floor indicator lights kept jumping, and through the transparent round glass, the neon-lit city was falling towards his feet.

Dozens of seconds later, the elevator door opened, and a huge top-floor helipad came into view.

buzzing-

The sound of roaring propellers came from afar, and a black helicopter approached from the night sky. He walked forward against the whistling night wind, his clothes rustling.

The first helicopter hovered briefly in the center of the building, and he opened the hatch and got in.

"Director, what's going on?" A figure handed over the headphones and asked against the wind.

"Lu Xun must have mastered some kind of ability to move quickly, and he keeps moving back and forth between Pudong and Puxi." The director said in a deep voice, "How did you do it? You actually let him escape by himself?!"

"You really can't blame me, Director... Before this, Dr. Lu was very cooperative. No one thought he would leave midway... Moreover, none of the lab alarms were triggered. We have no idea how he left."

"Where's Dr. Chu?"

"He's still on standby in the lab."

"...Lu Xun clearly has the ability to move quickly, but he never left Shanghai, and he deliberately left clues along the way to lead us by the nose... What exactly does he want to do?"

"Director, do you want to contact that master?"

"No, it's stipulated that unless it's necessary, we should try to avoid letting the master take action... I've already asked three 'black hands' to return. If we still can't catch him, I'll ask that master again."

"Yes."

The first helicopter sped through the night, passing through brightly lit high-rise buildings and the river flowing silently like a ribbon in the darkness, approaching somewhere.

……

"Wow! Look, Mom! A Ferrari!"

At the intersection, a boy pointed at the red sports car in the lead and spoke excitedly.

"You have to study hard, only then you can afford this car in the future, okay?" The woman glanced at the roaring vehicles with some envy, then walked across the road while holding her child's hand, muttering to herself.

Chen Ling turned the steering wheel expressionlessly and drove towards the underground garage nearby.

"Are we almost there?"

"Yeah, it's across the street."

"Then why are we going down to the basement?"

"This appearance is too conspicuous. Now that we have entered the city, we have to disguise ourselves."

As Chen Ling spoke, she drove the car to an empty spot in the underground garage. After blacking out all the surveillance cameras, she reached out and patted the car's exterior again.

Wisps of electric current flashed by, and the original red sports car turned into an inconspicuous family car in the blink of an eye, and slowly drove back to the surface along another exit of the basement.

Chen Ling parked the car on the side of the road. After the two got out of the car, they looked at the neon building beside them.

Next to the elevator of the building, there were lists of all the businesses in the building. After taking a quick look, Chen Ling pointed at the open-air cafe on the top floor.

"This is the address... Why is it a cafe again? Do you scientists all like to meet in cafes so much?"

"What's wrong with coffee? When I stay up late to monitor experiments, I have to rely on this stuff to stay alive... By the way, what do you mean by 'all'? Who else likes to meet in a coffee shop?"

"…Nothing, let's go up first."

The two walked into the elevator, and Chen Ling pressed the button for the top floor first. The elevator slowly rose with an old creaking sound...

At this moment, Yang Xiao seemed to remember something:

"By the way, I actually wanted to ask you, when you two made an appointment to meet, did Lao Lu tell you the time?"

"No... He just told me the address."

"What if we arrive and he's not there?"

Chen Ling paused for a moment and glanced at the continuously jumping floor indicator lights.

"He said... he would come naturally when we arrive."

Ding-dong-

As the elevator came to a stop, the elevator door slowly opened with a warning sound...

……

Ding-dong-

"The first floor has arrived."

The elevator door opened and more than a dozen figures walked out quickly. The director swept his eyes across Xizhou and quickly locked onto a teahouse in a bustling business district.

At this moment, many people in plain clothes were staring at the surroundings of the teahouse intentionally or unintentionally around it. When they saw these dozen people arriving, some of them immediately ran up in a hurry.

"What's going on now?"

"Director, we have confirmed that Dr. Lu is inside." The man said confidently, "Our people have already sneaked in to investigate and saw Dr. Lu sitting in the box drinking tea..."

"When?"

"Once fifteen minutes ago, and once five minutes ago. During this time, no one entered or left the teahouse."

The director nodded slightly, "Finally caught him...By the way, what is the origin of this teahouse?"

"It's just an ordinary teahouse, but we did some research and found that Dr. Lu would come here to drink tea every time he came to Shanghai on business. He also recharged his credit card here, so he is considered a regular customer."

"Okay, let's rush in and get him first. Where's Black Hand?"

"Two people have already arrived, but the [photographer] is still late. He said the car broke apart on the road..."

“The car fell apart on the road??”

The director was stunned for a moment, but then he shook his head, "Forget it, let's not wait for him... Organize the people and start now!"

"Yes!"

Following the director's order, many plainclothes officers hiding nearby stood up and went to surround all the doors and windows of the teahouse. Among the crowd, two figures stood out in particular.

One was a tall young woman wearing a white sweatshirt, and the other was a tall white man carrying an expensive mountaineering bag. After the two looked at each other, the blonde woman walked to the back door, while the white man pushed aside the other plainclothes figures and walked towards the front door.

The two men pressed their palms on the surface of the teahouse door, took a deep breath, and pushed it open with force!

……

White steam rises from the teacup.

In the log-style box, Lu Xun took a sip of tea and then slowly put it back on the table...

"Are we there yet..."

He murmured, stood up from his seat and walked towards the window.

He looked up and saw outside the window a flashing neon city and the silent dark night... and at this moment, in the reflection of those deep eyes, there was an endless sea of ​​stars, shining brightly!
