Just when everyone was speechless, Xiao Feng suddenly looked at Song Keren: "Shall we go for a walk?"
Song Keren's eyes widened immediately, as if she didn't expect Xiao Feng to make such a request. After a moment, she nodded with a flushed face.
He asked me to go out, surely he has something to say to me, right?
What could it be?
With a nervous heart, Song Keren walked out of the auto repair shop side by side with Xiao Feng. The accompanying officer wanted to follow, but was pulled back by Wang Qiang: "Are you stupid? Brother Feng and Director Song are going out, obviously it's to talk about love, what are you doing following them?"
Under the moonlight, Xiao Feng strolled along the paved road heading towards Jiangcheng. Next to him, Song Keren walked with her head lowered, appearing from a distance like a girl experiencing her first love, shy yet possessing a unique beauty.
However, Song Keren soon couldn't stay calm because after walking nearly two kilometers, almost entering the jurisdiction of Jiangcheng, Xiao Feng still hadn't spoken.
At this point, Song Keren suddenly realized that Xiao Feng asking her to take a walk might really just be a walk with no other meaning.
It sounded slightly inconceivable, but knowing Xiao Feng's personality, this possibility wasn't out of the question.
As she pondered, Xiao Feng finally spoke: "Actually, the reason I came over tonight wasn't because of how much Miao Yueqian promised to pay me, but because of the additional condition she offered."
"What additional condition?" Song Keren asked.
"She said that after discussing with Dai Ziqiang, if I go, this case will belong to our Jiangcheng." Xiao Feng chuckled, "Even if we can't find the culprit, rescuing over thirty kidnapped children would still be a great achievement."
"So..." Xiao Feng paused and looked at Song Keren: "You better perform well."
In fact, for cases occurring at the border of two cities, generally, whoever reaches the scene first gets jurisdiction. Jiangcheng City could handle it, and so could Xinwen City.
However, usually no one wants to fight over it, since no one wants to increase their crime rates, but this time it's different. The case in the auto repair shop is both a major case and a major achievement.
Song Keren was stunned. She never expected Xiao Feng, who usually only asked for money, to unbelievably help her. She was undeniably touched, but was this guy really so kind-hearted?
"I heard that solving a major case comes with a bonus, so when the time comes..." Xiao Feng began slowly.
Song Keren gave a bitter smile, internally confirming her suspicion, and immediately interrupted: "My share will all go to you."
"How much could it be?" Xiao Feng's eyes lit up.
Song Keren frowned: "How much do you want?"
"For saving so many families, shouldn't it be at least a few hundred thousand?" Xiao Feng suggested.
"Wishful thinking!" Song Keren huffed, "At most, it would not exceed fifty thousand."
Xiao Feng was somewhat disappointed but still nodded: "Fifty thousand is fifty thousand, even a tiny bit of meat is still meat."
Song Keren was amused, then, as if recalling something, blushed and asked: "So why are you taking leave tomorrow morning?"
"Not much, just that Miao Yueqian asked if I could tailor a training plan for the criminal police team. It seems there's some competition in Jiangcheng next month." Xiao Feng replied casually.
With that, Song Keren remembered there indeed was such a confrontation, with the opponent being Xinwen City's criminal police brigade.
"So, did Miao Yueqian offer you any benefits for going?" Song Keren blinked and inquired.
"Of course, not working for free. If I help her brigade win, I get half of the two hundred thousand bonus." Xiao Feng said proudly, "Also, if I ever don't want to work in the police force anymore, I can go develop over there."
Song Keren internally sneered, convinced the bonuses were just a front, Miao Yueqian's real intention was to poach her, something she'd certainly be wary of.
After walking some distance, Song Keren suddenly asked: "Did you ask me out just to say all this?"
When she said this, Song Keren clearly felt her cheeks start to burn.
Xiao Feng pondered for a moment and said: "I think you should prepare to form a special investigation team."
"Form a special investigation team?" Song Keren frowned: "To investigate what specifically?"
"I don't know." Xiao Feng honestly replied.
"..." Song Keren was speechless, not knowing what to investigate, so why form a special investigation team?
Unbeknownst to her, if not for what happened tonight, Xiao Feng would almost consider Lin Jiaxuan just a pitiable little girl, but now it seems this conclusion cannot be drawn.
Furthermore, Xiao Feng always felt that Lin Jiaxuan entering the police wasn't purely for herself and surely had another plot in mind, although for now, he couldn't figure it out.
At this moment, Song Keren suddenly said, "Tomorrow, I'll establish the special team as you suggested to temporarily focus on gathering evidence of Miao Youmin's misuse of authority for personal gain."
Xiao Feng turned back with a mischievous smile: "Are you listening to me this time because you're worried I might leave and never return to the criminal police team?"
"Who, who's worried about you leaving and never coming back." Caught off-guard, Song Keren couldn't help but be flustered, retorting: "I can't wait for you to go over to Miao Yueqian's side, within a week you'll likely be sent back."
"Why do you say that?" Xiao Feng protested: "My abilities speak for themselves."
"Heh, do you think Miao Yueqian is that generous?" Song Keren raised an eyebrow: "Only I consistently reimburse your travel expenses, when you actually go there, you'll see how nice it is to be with me."
"Really?" Xiao Feng laughed: "Then I'll adapt there for a while, if it doesn't work out, I'll come back."
"You actually plan... Ah!" Song Keren was speaking halfway when she accidentally stepped on a stone, twisted her ankle and immediately cried out as she fell towards the road.
Xiao Feng quickly grabbed her, helping Song Keren to sit by the roadside. After rolling up her lower pant leg, it was obvious her ankle had started to swell with redness.
"Hiss..." Song Keren was in such pain that tears almost came out, how could she twist her ankle while just walking?
Suddenly, Xiao Feng chuckled as if he thought of something.
Song Keren got angry immediately: "You're laughing? Am I that funny?"
"No, no!" Xiao Feng waved his hand, holding back laughter: "Do you remember my warning to you yesterday?"
Song Keren, taken aback, recalled Xiao Feng's words, "Don't heal your arm only to end up breaking a leg."
In this situation, though Song Keren didn't break her leg, she obviously couldn't walk normally.
So this wasn't advice, clearly it was a curse!
"Have you laughed enough?" Song Keren gritted her teeth: "If not, keep laughing but I want to ask you a favor, don't give me any more advice in the future."
"Isn't it entirely your fault for twisting your foot?" Xiao Feng laughed unscrupulously as he said: "Why are you blaming me now?"
Song Keren was instantly deflated, does this guy's mouth have divine powers?
For a moment, Song Keren even doubted if Xiao Feng's real purpose in asking her out was to make her twist her ankle, just to prove how accurate his words were.
"There's a hospital just ahead, I'll help you there." Xiao Feng stifled his smile.
Song Keren grabbed Xiao Feng's arm, biting her lip trying to stand up, but as soon as the sprained foot bore weight, the intense pain surged in, making her sit back down, utterly unable to exert any force.
Seeing Song Keren truly couldn't walk, Xiao Feng had no choice but to say: "I'll carry you there."
Saying this, he placed Song Keren's hands over his shoulders, carrying her towards the hospital.
Song Keren's face flushed red, but she didn't resist, allowing Xiao Feng to carry her.
Laying on Xiao Feng's back, Song Keren felt the pain in her foot lessen significantly. It was her first time being so close to a member of the opposite sex and she couldn't help indulging in some wild thoughts.
Yet she still somewhat suspected whether her sprain wasn't part of Xiao Feng's pre-arranged plans.
Not to blame her for thinking this way, because it was all too coincidental. Nothing happened earlier or later, but her ankle got sprained near the hospital; isn't that too much of a coincidence?
