The police station.
Zhao Chen smiled at Meng Hao.
“Brother Hao.”
“We don’t have much good food here.”
“It’s almost eight o’clock, and you haven’t had dinner yet!”
“How about you try our regular meals first?”
It had to be said.
Zhao Chen and his colleagues had a decent diet.
Braised beef… Spicy beef… Mushroom chicken… Seafood fish cakes… Instant noodles!
Meng Hao was a little helpless.
“I say, Director Zhao!”
“I just happen to visit you once, and this is what I get to eat!”
“At least order some takeout, will you!”
Meng Hao was brought to the police sub-station, which was an unexpected disaster.
Moreover, Zhao Chen was a die-hard fan of Meng Hao.
Therefore.
As they chatted, the two of them were like old friends of many years, without any restraint.
Zhao Chen slapped his thigh.
Of course!
“Brother Hao, you’re right.”
“You only come here once in a while, so how can you just eat this!”
“How about we go out now, and I’ll treat you to a big meal… A lobster buffet, what do you say?!”
Huh?
Why did it feel like Zhao Chen was digging a pit for himself?
And how could they go out now?
Didn’t they say that he had to stay in the detention room until artist Kun Kun reached a reconciliation?
Seeing Zhao Chen’s expectant eyes.
Meng Hao shook the newspaper in his hand and raised an eyebrow.
“I’m usually too busy, and it’s rare for me to have this quiet time here!”
“And if these instant noodles can be eaten by the brothers in the police sub-station, why can’t I eat them?”
“Spicy beef flavor, remember to add a chicken leg, a braised egg, and sausage!”
Ah!
To refuse a lobster feast and choose to eat instant noodles in the detention room.
Zhao Chen was about to cry.
“Brother Hao, please.”
“Let’s go out!”
“The angry crowd is about to tear down my police sub-station!”
Huh?
What’s going on?
Meng Hao looked at Zhao Chen suspiciously.
“According to the laws of Great Xia, neither party can leave the detention room before the case is clarified… If I leave, I’ll not only make a mistake myself but also implicate you in dereliction of duty!”
Huh?
Zhao Chen was a bit stunned.
Then he looked around the room where Meng Hao was, and roared furiously at the back.
“Didn’t I tell you to return Brother Hao’s phone?”
“Are you guys not listening to orders?”
“Believe it or not, I’ll deduct your allowances!”
Several sharp-eyed police officers quickly returned Meng Hao’s phone, muttering in low voices.
“Director Zhao, when did you ever tell us to return the phone?”
“We’re always the ones taking the blame!”
“Inviting Brother Hao out for a lobster feast, and he probably won’t even bring back a single lobster shell for us!”
“…”
The police officers in the sub-station were already getting along like a family.
In informal occasions, they behaved like brothers.
Zhao Chen’s face was a little awkward.
He rubbed his hands.
And explained to Meng Hao.
“Brother Hao.”
“The Shanghai Police Headquarters has already set up a special investigation team, and the relevant case details have been fully investigated!”
“It’s all artist Kun Kun’s fault… You can leave now… As an apology, I’ll pay out of my own pocket to treat you to a lobster feast!”
Oh!
So that’s what it was.
They were afraid that he wouldn’t leave, so they used food to entice him.
However.
Did his departure matter that much!
Seeing Meng Hao’s suspicious gaze.
Zhao Chen was almost crying.
“Brother Hao.”
“You haven’t had a phone to receive external news during this time, so you don’t know.”
“Whether it’s your die-hard fans or passing onlookers, they’re all indignant and have completely overwhelmed artist Kun Kun and the other artists from their agency!”
“Moreover, the Great Xia Police Headquarters has issued an announcement that you are not at fault… And the Film and Television Headquarters has notified the entire internet to completely ban Kun Kun!”
“Even more outrageous, at least two to three hundred people are protesting outside our police sub-station… If you’re not released soon, I’m afraid they’ll storm in and tear down our sub-station, and then they’ll skin me alive!”
Oh!
So this was the main point!
Meng Hao suppressed a smile.
He stood up.
And prepared to walk out.
“Director Zhao, you said you were going to treat me to a lobster feast, right!”
“This meal alone will cost one to two thousand.”
“How about we convert it to cash, and I’ll consider it treating the police brothers to a meal.”
As soon as he said this.
There were immediate cheers.
“Brother Hao is wise!”
“Brother Hao is brave!!”
“Brother Hao is awesome!!!”
Seeing the police officers in the sub-station joining in the fun.
Zhao Chen pretended to glare fiercely at them, then with a fawning smile, he quickly agreed.
“Don’t worry, Brother Hao!”
“Now, you need to leave quickly!”
“Otherwise, the gate of our police sub-station won’t be able to hold.”
…
As expected.
Just as Zhao Chen said.
The entrance of the police sub-station was crowded with a dense mass of people.
Many people were even holding banners and posters, strongly demanding the immediate release of Meng Hao.
To be honest.
Meng Hao was a little touched.
“Everyone, I’m fine!”
“Thank you all.”
“It’s all thanks to you that I could get out so quickly!”
Meng Hao shouted to the crowd.
The noisy entrance of the police sub-station instantly fell silent.
“Hmm? Brother Hao has been released?”
“Is that Brother Hao?”
“It’s too dark, I can’t see clearly!”
“Let’s squeeze to the front to take a look.”
“…”
Just as the crowd was about to erupt again.
The cunning Zhao Chen immediately ordered the police officers to turn on all the searchlights at the entrance.
The blinding light almost blinded Meng Hao’s eyes!
Damn it.
Can this darn Zhao Chen do something useful!
However.
Despite his inner grumbling.
Meng Hao endured the dazzling lights and stood in the center of the light, grateful to these onlookers who had supported him so much.
“Wow, it really is Brother Hao.”
“Our struggle was indeed effective.”
“Artist Kun Kun has just gone in, and Brother Hao has been acquitted.”
“Great, great! Wonderful, wonderful!”
Seeing the excited crowd taking out their phones to take pictures and upload them online, stating that Brother Hao had emerged unscathed from the struggle between Meng Hao and Brother Chicken Kun.
Looking at the excited crowd.
Meng Hao glanced at the expectant Zhao Chen beside him.
Well.
To prevent this police sub-station from being torn down, he had to say a few words for Zhao Chen.
“Alright.”
“Everyone, disperse!”
“I’ve come out safely… Don’t let me out and you all go in… Are you all interested in Brother Chicken’s precious backside!”
Hahaha.
Meng Hao’s words immediately drew a roar of laughter.
Indeed.
Before, so many people had gathered at the police station for Meng Hao.
Now that the matter was resolved.
If they continued to block the entrance like this, even if they were arrested and detained for a few days, there would be nothing to complain about.
“Disperse, disperse.”
“As long as Brother Hao is out.”
“Brother Hao, can we take a picture together?”
“Brother Hao, can you give us an autograph!”
“Brother Hao, you said you would start live-streaming the repair of the lithography machine after announcing the answer, we are all waiting!”
“…”
