Just hailed a cab.
As he got in and sat down, before he even had a chance to speak, his phone in his pocket started to vibrate repeatedly.
It was the middle of the workday.
Zhou Ping'an's unique job habit meant that during work hours, he always kept his phone on silent mode with vibration on.
And for general messages, do not disturb mode was set.
The only exception was the Third Group work chat.
Although he was technically on vacation,
the "good habits" from work over the past half year had still conditioned him to react instinctively.
Pulling out his phone and smoothly unlocking the screen, he tapped on the "Third Group" chat and saw several messages.
The blood-red font was a clear sign of how urgent Inspector Tang Tang was feeling.
"Emergency: Any group members near Binjiang Restaurant on Yanjiang Road, rush to the destination immediately and intercept a black stretch RV.
License plate XV0008, ensure the safety of the hostages."
