The phone connected, and Han Lengyue's clear voice came through: "Do you remember me?"

Xiao Feng got straight to the point: "Did you find any clues?"

"It seems Mr. Xiao still remembers me." Han Lengyue laughed lightly. "The clues are being investigated. I'm calling you today to tell you that something major might happen in Jiangcheng. You'd better be careful."

"Is it related to me?" Xiao Feng frowned. Although they hadn't been in contact long, he believed he understood Han Lengyue's character; she wasn't someone who would joke about serious matters.

"You could say that." Han Lengyue replied.

Xiao Feng took a deep breath and asked, "Regarding the person who killed your father and framed me, can we confirm they are the same person?"

Han Lengyue was silent for a long time and suddenly said, "If I said they weren't the same person, would Mr. Xiao still help me?"

"I would." Xiao Feng thought for a moment and replied, "Just like our cooperation doesn't include the situations you're telling me over the phone right now."

Han Lengyue immediately felt comforted. She knew it was reasonable for Xiao Feng not to acknowledge this kindness, but Xiao Feng's answer didn't disappoint her.

"I'll find out as soon as possible." With that, Han Lengyue hung up, a shadow of gloom hidden between her brows.

What she didn't tell Xiao Feng was that she had already found a very important clue, but the person it pointed to made her a bit unwilling to accept it, even hesitating whether to continue the investigation...

As soon as Xiao Feng hung up, he found Song Keren's number in his contacts, but before he could dial, Song Keren called him first.

As soon as the call connected, Song Keren's anxious voice rang out: "Something happened. Are you safe now?"

In that instant, the historically rich and tranquil small city lost its original serenity. Various special vehicles flooded the streets, making passersby look on in shock, none of whom had ever seen such a grand spectacle!

The news spread like a plague, covering every corner of Jiangcheng. More and more people took to the streets, most with their phones raised, filming.

Having been accustomed to a peaceful life, people's sensitivity to danger had dulled, so most didn't show panic but rather an excitement, as if they'd found new gossip for their idle conversations.

Standing on the steps, Song Keren sternly said, "The tech department is doing their utmost to track the suspect. The immediate task is to calm the public's panic. Arrest those spreading rumors in the chaos immediately. The internet is not a lawless place, and those who seek to sow disorder must be taught a lesson!"

"Yes!" A team of officers immediately led a group out, and Song Keren suddenly realized that there were already few people in front of her; if they continued deploying manpower, it might cripple normal operations.

As the crowd dispersed, Wang Qiang, his arm slung across his chest, suggested, "We really don't have enough people now. Should we call back a few from Miao Youmin's side?"

Song Keren hesitated; technically, it was an emergency, and wasting manpower would at least result in a reprimand, but Xiao Feng repeatedly emphasized the need to keep monitoring Miao Youmin, leaving her in a dilemma.

"Withdraw the three people tracking Yu Xiuzhi. Leave Miao Youmin's side as is." Song Keren exhaled deeply.

"But if we do this, and if we are blamed later..." Wang Qiang couldn't help but worry aloud.

"I'll take full responsibility for any punishment. Just do as I say." Song Keren said firmly.

Wang Qiang opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing more, turning to make a call instead.

Just then, Xiao Feng crossed the cordon and walked in. Upon seeing Song Keren, he asked, "Have the people from Miao Youmin's side been pulled back?"

"No, but if we fail to catch them, I'll bear the main responsibility, and combined with wasting police resources, it would be an aggravated offense." Song Keren said, her brows knitted tightly.

"Good, it's good they weren't pulled back." Xiao Feng smiled.

"Shouldn't you be concerned about me getting a reprimand first?" Song Keren said angrily. "If you hadn't insisted, I might have already pulled them back."

"Why would I be concerned about that?" Xiao Feng said confusedly. "I'm not the one getting reprimanded."

"You!" Song Keren's eyes reddened; she felt more aggrieved than ever, doing exactly what he said, yet in the end, he didn't care about her?

Seeing Song Keren about to cry, Xiao Feng couldn't help but jump in surprise and quickly comforted her, "Okay, okay, I promise you won't get a reprimand, and I'll even help you earn a great merit. How about that?"

"How can you guarantee that?" Song Keren asked anxiously.

Xiao Feng smiled confidently. "I never make baseless judgments. Where is Shihan now?"

"Shihan is in my office. She's very safe. Now tell me, what is your basis for this?" Song Keren replied.
