Chapter 1503: Surveillance

“You’ve trained before?!” Jiang Cheng defended against the woman’s attacks while chatting with her, a hint of admiration in his eyes. After all, finding such a talented young woman in the world is quite rare.

The woman clearly didn’t want to be verbose with Jiang Cheng and shouted, “Uncle, are you crazy? Have I trained before? It’s more like I’m better than you.

“I’m not even going full strength yet, but it seems like you’re starting to be at a disadvantage now!” Jiang Cheng raised an eyebrow and said to the woman.

Knowing her skills were inferior to the man she was fighting, the woman shouted, “I’m telling you, hitting me now means obstructing an officer’s duty. You’ll be punished by the law! You’ll be detained, understand?

“You’re an officer?! Aren’t you a thief?” Jiang Cheng also started to feel that something was off and asked with some confusion.

The woman sighed, gradually withdrawing her close-range attacks on Jiang Cheng, and said, “So you always thought I was a thief?

“Yes. Aren’t you? Who was the lady just accusing of stealing the bag?” Jiang Cheng admitted he had been a bit impulsive earlier and hesitated with his question.

The woman rolled her eyes at Jiang Cheng with disdain and said, “Are you an idiot? Look at my officer ID card and even the certificate of transfer!”

While the woman was flipping through her bag for her ID and other documents, Mu Yu, not seeing the new partner or Jiang Cheng appear, hurried over to Jiang Cheng and said, “Hey Jiang Cheng, not very efficient, huh! Have you two already met?

“Mu Yu, what do you mean we’ve already met? Should I have known this woman who can fight pretty well?” Jiang Cheng couldn’t help but twitch the corners of his eyes.

Mu Yu seemed to realize the awkward atmosphere between Jiang Cheng and the woman, said to her, “You’re Zhang Lin, right? I remember you from the picture.

“Yes, I’m Zhang Lin. And you are?” Zhang Lin could only focus on responding to Mu Yu’s question, completely ignoring Jiang Cheng.

Mu Yu grinned and replied, “I’m Mu Yu, and the man you just met is called Jiang Cheng. We’ll be work partners from now on.”

“Work partners?!” Jiang Cheng and Zhang Lin asked in unison, both appearing surprised.

Mu Yu looked at them both and nodded, “Exactly, Jiang Cheng, this is the person we’re supposed to meet!

“Alright, I understand!” Jiang Cheng nodded, forcing out an awkward smile that looked somewhat genuine.

Jiang Cheng quickly returned to calmness, smiled, and extended his hand to Zhang Lin, saying, “Your name is Zhang Lin, right? Let’s reintroduce ourselves! I’m Jiang Cheng, your new colleague from now on!”

“Uh, hi Jiang Cheng! I’m Zhang Lin, nice to meet you, hope you can guide me along!” Zhang Lin also felt the scene had become awkward, so she reluctantly shook hands with Jiang Cheng, slowly saying something polite.

Rongyu watched Jiang Cheng and Zhang Lin’s now-normalized interaction and said, “Let’s head to the parking lot together now! Hurry and go back, Zhang Lin still needs to report to the team. It’s the rules.”

“No way!!!” Jiang Cheng and Zhang Lin again shouted in unison. Mu Yu looked at the “intensely synchronized” pair and couldn’t help but laugh, asking, “What’s the issue now?

“A person stole a lady’s bag just now. As officers, we have to retrieve her bag first, right?” Jiang Cheng explained to Mu Yu slowly.

Before Mu Yu could decide, Zhang Lin’s voice rang out among the three, “Yeah, I think the same! But… but now the person has run away, and the airport is packed with people, which makes it hard to find, the situation is a bit tricky.

“No need to worry, as long as Jiang Cheng is here, nothing is an issue!” Mu Yu said to Zhang Lin while giving Jiang Cheng a look of admiration.

Zhang Lin paused slightly and asked, “Jiang Cheng, is he really that capable?

“I wouldn’t say I’m very capable, but I’ve been quite reliable all the time, right?” Jiang Cheng raised an eyebrow, explaining to Zhang Lin.

“Hehe, others can doubt me on anything except my abilities!

“Jiang Cheng! Don’t you know how to be low-key? Do you understand that mature ears of grain bow low, yeah? Smart aleck?”

Zhang Lin looked at Jiang Cheng with some doubt, a hint of expression on her face.

Before Jiang Cheng could reply, Mu Yu gently patted Zhang Lin’s shoulder and said, “Hmm… If you could see Jiang Cheng’s glorious and illustrious history, I guarantee you wouldn’t call him low-key!

“Really? Then when I’m at the team, you’ll show it to me!” Zhang Lin said somewhat incredulously to Mu Yu.

Jiang Cheng didn’t want to continue responding to Zhang Lin and Mu Yu’s unsubstantial dialogue and said, “Stop chatting, let’s start working now!

Mu Yu heard Jiang Cheng addressing the matter, she put away her casual smile and replied, “Alright, then assign us our roles!”

Chang Lin frowned, asking Jiang Cheng and Mu Yu, “Are we… just acting alone like this? Shouldn’t we call the organization first or send a report?! Ask for their permission for this action?”

“Heh! Didn’t you run off after the thief without reporting to the organization just now? Also, working with Jiang Cheng means following my lead, forget the organization!” Jiang Cheng calmly explained to Zhang Lin.

After speaking, Jiang Cheng solemnly assigned tasks to the two, “Mu Yu, you team up with Zhang Lin, first ask the lady whose bag was stolen what was inside the bag. Any documents, and estimate the total financial value, then Mu Yu register it, Zhang Lin, go to the counter to process all loss reports on IDs and bank cards for the lady, to prevent the thief from using the card and identity information for any criminal activity!”

“Understood!” Mu Yu and Zhang Lin accepted the tasks, having undergone professional and systemic training, and turned to get started.

Jiang Cheng didn’t rush to leave but took out his phone from his bag, dialed his assistant Lindal, and said, “Linda, it’s me, Jiang Zai.

“Boss Jiang?! It’s been a long time since you called me, I suppose there’s something up. Tell me, what do you need your assistant to do this time?” Linda replied somewhat helplessly, yet extremely attentively to Jiang Cheng on the phone.

Jiang Cheng raised an eyebrow, saying, “Linda, no jokes! This is serious, I need you to obtain surveillance footage, from the last two hours, around 2:30 to 3:30 PM, in the airport, and also footage from the South Gate exit road!”

“I should have a decent memory, I vaguely recall Lun running southward. He must have felt guilty and ran out of the airport immediately. So, likely, the person exited from the South Gate of the airport!”
