Having said that, Lin Chuan turned and walked away.

Zhou Kai looked puzzled, watching Lin Chuan's retreating back, partly unable to grasp the meaning behind it. They obviously liked each other, yet they stubbornly stayed apart. Why was that? Was it because of Tang Yumeng?

But, Zhou Kai also thought that Lin Chuan and Tang Yumeng were too mismatched. A romance was one thing, but marriage seemed farfetched.

Zhou Kai was utterly baffled.

Lin Chuan returned home.

Nuo Xiaoxi was selecting vegetables at the door.

"Brother Lin, you're back?" Nuo Xiaoxi looked at Lin Chuan with a beaming smile.

"Yeah." Lin Chuan nodded and smiled, asking, "Are you on a break?"

"Yes, I don't need to go to school anymore, I'll prepare for the college entrance exam at home." Nuo Xiaoxi giggled, "The exams are in ten days, our teachers told us to go home and rest well, to face it with full energy."

Before they knew it, it was already the end of May, soon to turn into June. For students facing the college entrance exam, June was the darkest month. They not only had to face the exam itself but also endure the most painful period of waiting for the results.

"Do well in the exam." Lin Chuan smiled, "Aim for a good university, got it?"

"Yeah." Nuo Xiaoxi nodded, saying, "I've already decided, I want to go to Jiang University."

"Why?" Lin Chuan was taken aback, "Your teachers have told me that with your grades, you could definitely get into a top tier university in the country. Why choose Jiang University?"

"Because it's close to home." Nuo Xiaoxi earnestly said, "I haven't traveled far before, and I don't want to be too far from home. Besides, Jiang University is also a top-tier university. Moreover, the environment there is nice."

"Since you've decided, I respect your choice." Lin Chuan nodded.

Jiang University was the best institution in Jiang Province and held significant prestige within the provincial capital. Moreover, Jiang University had produced many talents in recent years. Since Nuo Xiaoxi didn't want to go to Tsinghua or Peking University, respecting her choices and letting her attend Jiang University seemed right.

Qinghua Pool.

In the Northeast Tiger's office, it was quiet and oppressive. The atmosphere in the office was somewhat stiff.

The Northeast Tiger had a cigar in his mouth, he took a deep drag, then exhaled a puff of white smoke, with his two younger brothers, the beard and Qiu Wuming, by his side. Besides them, there was also Song Hao in the office.

The group remained silent at the scene.

"Big brother, nobody knew that Song Jianguo would come out this time," Qiu Wuming said with a bitter smile, "Despite all calculations, it was still a miscalculation. It's my incompetence."

"Ai." The Northeast Tiger sighed, "Third brother, you can't say that. You've done quite well; if it weren't for Song Jianguo's appearance, Tang Yumeng might have really left, and once she is gone, I believe Lin Chuan would eventually die at our hands."

"What a pity..." Song Hao sighed at the side.

"Mr. Song, don't be so down." The Northeast Tiger smiled, "There's plenty of time ahead, let's plan carefully."

Song Hao was a pretty boy, and the Northeast Tiger liked to collaborate with such people. This type of person was straightforward, without schemes or cunning compared to his father, Song Ming, a wily old fox filled with conspiracies and tricks, bringing misfortune to anyone who allied with him.

Now that Song Ming's son, Song Hao, had returned, the Northeast Tiger seized the opportunity to cooperate with him immediately. Not only did they collaborate in business, but he also gifted a Ferrari 911 to him. Song Hao liked it very much, cruising around in it every day. He had only been back in Jiangbei City for a few days and had already flirted with several girls.

"Tang Yumeng didn't come down, my dad arranged for me to work at the police station," Song Hao sighed, "Originally, I was going to join the CPPCC."

"No worries." The Northeast Tiger quickly waved his hand, "With Mr. Song's capabilities, not to mention the CPPCC, even entering the city's Standing Committee is possible."

"Heh, isn't that just a matter of time?" Song Hao scoffed and laughed.

"Indeed, indeed." The Northeast Tiger quickly nodded.

After Song Hao left, the Northeast Tiger disdainfully said, "If not for your dad, based on your little skills? Even being a toilet cleaner would be despised by others."

"Big brother, we can really make use of this Song Hao," Qiu Wuming spoke, "Song Hao is quite naive, and I think using him against Lin Chuan is the best weapon. Song Ming has always been timid and hesitant in dealing with Lin Chuan, never daring to take bold actions. Heh, it's really timely that Song Hao has returned."

"Song Hao doesn't actually have any power," the Northeast Tiger expressed doubt, "Rely on him to deal with Lin Chuan?"

"Yes." Qiu Wuming immediately nodded, "He might not have any power, but his dad's influence is valuable."

"That's right!" The Northeast Tiger was immediately invigorated upon hearing this.

"I heard that Song Hao is quite interested in Tang Yumeng," Qiu Wuming squinted and said, "We can start from this point. I believe that Song Hao now hates Lin Chuan to the bone. As long as we give a little push behind the scenes, how could Lin Chuan not die?"

"Third brother, you are truly my right-hand man," the Northeast Tiger couldn't help praising enthusiastically. With Qiu Wuming's remarks, how could the Northeast Tiger not be pleased?

Lin Chuan had always been a thorn in the flesh and a nail in the eye for the Northeast Tiger. He had long wanted to remove him once and for all, but Lin Chuan was too strong. Initially, he even dared to enter Qinghua Pool alone, facing one to two hundred elite soldiers without fear. Just this courage alone made the Northeast Tiger hold back.

Now that he finally had someone who could truly help him, how could the Northeast Tiger not be happy?

After calming down a bit, the Northeast Tiger hurriedly asked, "Third brother, what should we do next?"

"First, let the kid go work at the police station," Qiu Wuming started, "Once he's working there, we can create some misunderstandings."

"Right!" the Northeast Tiger immediately nodded in agreement.

After leaving Qinghua Pool, Song Hao drove alone in a Ferrari to the police station.

Director Liu personally received this young man.

Inside the police station, many female officers looked sideways at Song Hao, and some people didn't even know the background of Song Hao, wondering why he could make Director Liu personally come out to receive him.

"I heard that this person is the only child of Deputy Secretary Song."

"Really? Weren't there rumors that Deputy Secretary Song and his family had emigrated abroad?"

"Oh, could being abroad be better than being at home?"

Some people began to discuss.

Song Hao, with shifty eyes, saw a beautiful girl among the female officers and blew a rogue whistle at her. A few female officers covered their mouths and laughed.

"Not bad, not bad. The quality of the girls is high," Song Hao coolly fixed his hair, deeming himself handsome.

"Xiao Song, come sit in my office," Director Liu said, his belly sticking out.

"Uncle Liu, you are too polite," Song Hao chuckled.

It was only proper for Song Hao to respect Director Liu, as he was his elder.

Once inside the office, Song Hao sat down on Director Liu's chair, crossed his legs, and said, "Uncle Liu, my dad told me to work here. What kind of position do you have in mind for me?"

"Well…" Director Liu scratched his head and chuckled, "Xiao Song, you're still young. Your dad also told me that you should start from the grassroots. So, you should start as a grassroots police officer."

"Okay!" Song Hao didn't argue.

This surprised Director Liu who had prepared some excuses to fend off any excessive demands from the young man; he didn't expect him to agree so readily. Director Liu felt somewhat embarrassed and said, "Well, how about this, you work in the civil affairs system, specifically responsible for household registration."

"Nope," Song Hao shook his head, "I want to go to Huai Mountain South Road Police Station."

"What?" Director Liu was immediately stunned.

"Uncle Liu," Song Hao laughed, "The real grassroots is at the police station. I can only become a competent official by gaining experience there."

"Absolutely right," Director Liu heard this and thought the kid was sensible. He didn't expect that after a few years abroad, he had become so obedient. He'll have to call Secretary Song to praise Song Hao.

With Director Liu's approval, Song Hao's job arrangement was very quick.

Almost an hour later, Song Hao rushed to the Huai Mountain South Road police station.

At Huai Mountain South Road police station, Li Jiangping was bored every day, and all the major and minor affairs were handled by Lv Yan.

That afternoon, Chen Jianjun was scolding a few police officers in the yard of the police station for not working efficiently.

Suddenly, a Porsche rushed in at a very high speed.

Chen Jianjun was instantly dumbfounded as he saw the Porsche racing towards him and several colleagues at over a hundred kilometers per hour.
