The message coming from Director Zheng signifies the seriousness of the issue!

Yang Mei is far away in Binhai, and by this time she should have returned, but she hasn't sent a message first thing. Since their last chat two days ago, there's been no news. It's already noon today, and there's no update or step count on WeChat...

In summary, my girlfriend has encountered trouble in Binhai City, significant enough to send shockwaves to Jiangzhou.

"Yang Mei came across the explosion case while shopping last night. She and Wu Xiaoyue tried to stop it. The suspect was terribly vicious, carrying highly lethal weapons—guns and grenades. Yang Mei and Wu Xiaoyue were both injured and are now being treated in the hospital..."

Zhao Donglai's eyes showed a hint of helplessness. Such long-distance situations, yet feeling so anxious and unable to replace her.

"Luo Fei, calm down."

Originally, Zhao Donglai intended to say something more and offer some comfort, but Luo Fei stood directly beside him.

"Captain Zhao, don't say anything for now..."

"I know Director Zheng wants us to take on a mission this time. They'll explain the situation then. The explosion case in Binhai isn't minor, affecting us too. The two cities are close, so cooperation is inevitable. Let's set off first, and talk about other things on the way."

As usual, his thoughts were still clear and serious as always.

But at this moment, Luo Fei's words were spoken in a stiff tone, devoid of any emotion.

His demeanor was as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

Hearing this, Zhao Donglai felt a chill, and hurriedly led everyone to set off.

He knew Luo Fei's character—deeply affectionate and loyal.

"Who is a mere man? He is not skilled in flamboyant displays, rather a warm-blooded hero."

In such matters, Yang Mei was his Achilles' heel.

Even as an experienced criminal investigator, it's hard to remain calm when such events occur, but Luo Fei was alarmingly composed.

Zhao Donglai was unaware that the person beside him had already become a volcano ready to erupt, with rage and suppressed fury filling his chest with nowhere to vent.

The group rushed to the bureau, heading straight to the director's office.

Zheng Changjun, pacing back and forth, was waiting for them. While other people might have reservations, upon seeing Luo Fei's calm expression yet fierce gaze, even Zheng Changjun couldn't help but frown.

He had already cursed the culprit behind the Binhai City explosion a hundred times in his heart.

"Donglai, take a seat, and you too, Luo Fei..."

This whole situation was unclear to the higher-ups, and Zheng Changjun hadn't anticipated it either. If Zhao Donglai hadn't promptly informed me about Yang Mei and Luo Fei's relationship, I would have been caught off guard.

"Let me briefly explain the situation so you can get the gist of it."

"The current situation is quite complex. We need to undertake a mission, and this one isn't of ordinary difficulty or danger."

"Yesterday, a major explosion occurred on the pedestrian street of Binhai City. It wasn't just standard explosives, but professional grenades. Three exploded simultaneously; several stores and hundreds of pedestrians were injured. The suspect was injured and taken to the hospital, causing significant societal impact, and the reason for the event is under further investigation."

"However, due to the unclear motive and because some of our people are injured, Binhai Public Security Bureau informed us first."

"Currently, it's known that there are certainly more suspects involved, so to dig deeper and thoroughly investigate this matter, we must also step in."

Upon hearing this, the other three team leaders exchanged glances, clearly shocked by such a horrific event!

"There were three calls to my office this morning. One was from the director of Binhai Public Security Bureau about this matter. Another was from the provincial Public Security Department, giving us the order to send out officers to assist in the investigation and solve the case together. The specific action documents and mobilization plans have been sent to me."

At this point, Zheng Changjun looked at Zhao Donglai.

"Your Captain Zhao will lay out the action plans and arrangements for you."

"Comrades, in this time of peace, crime elements still dare to blatantly challenge public security, armed violence causing societal panic. This is a direct challenge to our public security system, and we cannot tolerate it!"

"If they want to mess with the citizens, they must be ready to pay a hundredfold price!"

Those four words, "a hundredfold price", instantly hit Luo Fei's heart.

Suddenly, the murderous intent and fiery light in his eyes erupted, and the atmosphere at the scene became tense. Both Zheng Changjun and Zhao Donglai glanced lightly at him but said nothing.

Liao Xingyu and others stood up with a solemn expression and a resolute tone.

"Director, we understand, this won't be tolerated!"

"Good. Donglai, take them out to arrange the specifics, and Luo Fei, stay back, I'll brief you separately."

"Yes!"

Liao Xingyu and the others were quite puzzled, and as they followed Zhao Donglai out, their eyes were full of curiosity.

"Captain Zhao, why do both you and Director Zheng need to talk to Luo Fei privately? Does this have something to do with him?"

Zhou Fan and Li Jun furrowed their brows at these words.

"Might it be one of our injured colleagues over there...is related to Luo Fei?"

"Could it be his girlfriend?"

Even three mediocre heads are better than one clever one. Not to mention, these were three experienced criminal investigation team leaders who quickly guessed the connection in a few words.

"Yes, that's right."

Zhao Donglai nodded.

"His girlfriend was also involved over there, unfortunately, the thug was extremely vicious, not only carrying a gun but also using grenades, setting them off in a bustling pedestrian street, causing chaos. She is still in the hospital now..."

"Hiss—"

The three of them took a sharp breath. Initially indifferent, they were suddenly deeply shocked upon learning the situation was related to Luo Fei.

Unexpectedly, Luo Fei, the person involved, showed no sign of rage, but remained calm like a piece of frozen ice. It was only now that they realized the immense grief he was suppressing inside.

As criminal investigators, maintaining such composure is incredibly challenging.

"Therefore, we must give our utmost effort. Whether it concerns our friends or the people of Binhai, there's no way we'll allow those egregious offenders to roam free!"

"You're right, Captain Zhao."

Liao Xingyu clapped his hands.

"We can't ignore this, not only for the citizens but also for Luo Fei. Brothers will give it their all."

"Good!"

Then Zhao Donglai opened his phone to assign tasks.

Inside the director's office.

Zheng Changjun walked over to Luo Fei, then sat down heavily beside him, eyes filled with helplessness and, even more, worry.

The young man in front of him was the bureau's good fortune, the ace under criminal investigation. And now, the issue is connected to him...

"Luo Fei, I learned from Donglai about your relationship with Yang Mei. Please stay composed and try to keep cool."

"Director."

Luo Fei looked at him with a burning gaze.

In total, there were three calls made, the first two from colleagues and superiors; the third must concern me, or they wouldn't have kept me here.

"The third call was from Binhai hospital, right? There's surely an update regarding Yang Mei now. Just say it, I can handle it."

Despite these words, his body subtly trembled a bit.

Zheng Changjun, like Zhao Donglai, was astounded by the sharpness of the young man before him.

"That's correct, the hospital over there just sent news."

"Yang Mei has just been pulled from critical condition; her situation slightly improved in the morning. Although there was no severe injury, the blast impact still left her in a coma. However, other vital signs remain stable."

The fierce aura around Luo Fei flickered away; this was the peak of his worry. His tense nerves finally relaxed...

Zheng Changjun patted his shoulder.

"Comrade Luo Fei, the situation is urgent, we must act!"
