Zhang Xiaofan pulled the young woman to the temporary police outpost at the car station and left after having her state the facts.
He headed back outside the car station.
A camouflage-colored SUV stopped in front of Zhang Xiaofan.
A man in a special uniform with a resolute expression got out of the vehicle.
"Our leader would like to meet you,"
said the man, standing straight.
"Which leader would that be?"
Zhang Xiaofan asked.
In Qingyun City, Zhang Xiaofan remembered he only knew one leader—Hua Chennan.
And if Hua Chennan were to send someone, they would have notified him in advance.
"Our leader said, you'll know once you go,"
the man replied.
"Well then, I'm sorry, but I can't just get into a stranger's car,"
Zhang Xiaofan said, turning to leave.
"Stop!"
the man called out.
And he placed his hand directly on Zhang Xiaofan's shoulder.
Out of an instinct to protect himself, Zhang Xiaofan moved quickly.
