The matters Fang Ji Qiang confessed were quickly relayed to Shen Tianze through Miao Youmin.

When Shen Tianze heard the news, he flipped the table on the spot: "I just can't understand why there's not a single capable one among them, just a bunch of useless trash?!"

The subordinates in the room lowered their heads and said nothing, their hearts already calm without waves.

They'd heard similar words too many times, to the point where everyone was used to it, indifferent and dismissive, let him scold however he likes.

After a while, Shen Tianze picked up a psychiatric assessment report from the table and tore it into pieces with force.

He had already prepared that if something happened to Fang Ji Qiang, he would use this report to get him out.

What he hadn't expected was that Fang Ji Qiang would confess so quickly, making the assessment naturally useless.

But now the problem was, Shen Tianze had no idea what Fang Ji Qiang had confessed to, causing some anxiety in his heart.

Of course, whether Fang Ji Qiang's confession was genuine or fake, Shen Tianze had already moved the thought of killing; this person absolutely cannot be left alive!

"Make arrangements, take care of Fang Ji Qiang." Shen Tianze said coldly.

The subordinates in the room were startled, each feeling a chill down their spine.

This is what they call the sorrow of the fox at the death of the rabbit. Just a day ago, Fang Ji Qiang was still Shen Tianze's most trusted subordinate, yet today he's mercilessly abandoned.

This made the subordinates think, if this is how he treats trusted aides, how about them?

Shen Tianze naturally did not care what his subordinates thought as he walked to the window, the noonday sun shining on him felt not a bit warm.

Repeated failures led him to wonder if he had taken the wrong path from the start?

But it was too late to say anything now, even if it was the wrong road, he had no choice but to continue going until the end.

...

In the police cafeteria, Xiao Feng sat down carrying a tray in each hand, placing one in front of Shi Jiaxin: "Hurry, eat up, and we'll continue training in the afternoon."

Shi Jiaxin nodded but several attempts left her unable to lift her arms.

The morning training had left her arms so sore that any slight movement induced severe pain, leaving her without strength.

Xiao Feng picked up a piece of braised meat into his mouth, eating while saying, "This meal is so good, and you're not eating, not hungry?"

"…" Shi Jiaxin was speechless, wondering if he genuinely didn't understand or was pretending to be dumb.

However, after observing him for a long time, she found Xiao Feng's expression unchanged as if he truly didn't know what was happening.

Shi Jiaxin couldn't hold it anymore, opening her mouth: "I... I can't lift my arms."

Xiao Feng put down the chopsticks: "You could have said so earlier, I thought you had an eating disorder; if you can't move, no worries, I'll feed you."

Saying this, he actually picked up Shi Jiaxin's chopsticks, clipped a bite of shredded potatoes, and passed it over.

For a moment, the entire cafeteria fell silent, all diners captivated by this scene.

Shi Jiaxin's face flushed; since she could remember, she'd never been fed, especially not in public with so many watching.

At this moment, someone quick to react put down their chopsticks, grabbed a tray, and left: "I'm done eating, take your time."

With these words, more and more people got up, leaving the bustling cafeteria quiet in less than two minutes, leaving only Xiao Feng and Shi Jiaxin.

Some who had just come to eat were dragged out by those leaving, turning the crowd into a lively discussion outside the cafeteria.

"Should we report this situation to the director after the meeting?"

"If you wanna die, go ahead."

"Speaking of which, Feng bro is really bold, juggling two boats and not worried about sinking both?"

Soon, the story of Xiao Feng feeding Shi Jiaxin in the cafeteria spread wildly within the police department.

Many who witnessed the scene enthusiastically described it vividly whenever the topic came up.

As time passed, the story spread wider, its original version tweaked and exaggerated beyond recognition, yet everyone relished it.

As for whether Xiao Feng actually fed Shi Jiaxin, nobody cared to verify anymore.

This is the power of rumor; once spreading to a certain extent, no one cares what the truth is but chooses to believe the version closest to their imagination…

At five o'clock in the afternoon, as Song Keren returned from the meeting, she noticed everyone looking at her strangely as soon as she entered the police station.

This made her heart skip a beat, intuition telling her that Xiao Feng must be related to this odd phenomenon.

Because the last time this happened was after Xiao Feng said something easily misunderstood.

Song Keren pulled aside someone she trusted and asked, "Did something happen in the station?"

The police officer in question replied with difficulty, "Director Song, you might want to ask someone else."

Song Keren naturally did not let it go at that, and after repeatedly pressing, the officer said: "I didn't see it myself; I just heard from others, so I can't guarantee the truth."

"It's okay, just tell me what you heard." Song Keren said understandingly.

The officer gritted his teeth and said: "During lunch in the cafeteria, Consultant Xiao Feng and Forensic Shi were sitting together, and Forensic Shi said she couldn't lift her arms, so Consultant Xiao Feng fed her."

After hearing this, Song Keren felt inexplicably pained; frowning for a long time without speaking, her heart was a tangled mess of complexity.

"Director Song, are you... okay?" the officer asked cautiously.

Song Keren snapped back, took a deep breath, and said, "I'm fine, get back to your work."

Meanwhile, in the office, Shi Jiaxin, somewhat troubled, said: "This is a problem; when Keren returns, she'll misunderstand us."

Xiao Feng shrugged nonchalantly: "Keren and I aren't romantic partners, so there's no misunderstanding."

"Even if that's true, at least it might make others misunderstand our relationship, right?" Shi Jiaxin said discontentedly.

"Besides, did you not consider how this act would be viewed by outsiders back then? Now it's a mess, things that didn't happen get exaggerated... forget it, it's too late to say anything now." Shi Jiaxin said, feeling deflated.

Now she understood Song Keren's sense of powerlessness. This is what "indefensible" means.

However, Shi Jiaxin didn't know that Song Keren's mentality had quietly changed by now.

Xiao Feng felt inexplicably puzzled, just helping with good intentions, why was he being blamed?

No good deed goes unpunished, perhaps this was the situation.

After a long silence, Shi Jiaxin suddenly blushed inexplicably and asked softly: "Are you really just friends with Keren?"

Neither Xiao Feng nor Shi Jiaxin noticed the office door had quietly opened a crack…
