Just as Ling Zhenfei was lost in thought, Han Lian couldn't bother to engage in any more idle talk with him. She got into the vehicle by herself, instructed the other police officers to return to the station, and then urged Ling Zhenfei to start driving.

Ling Zhenfei was speechless, realizing that he'd been stuck to this piece of adhesive candy and that shaking her off was not going to be an easy task!

With no other choice, he climbed into the vehicle and drove the rickety three-wheeler on a bumpy ride into the city.

What was just a ten-kilometer journey ended up taking Ling Zhenfei thirty minutes to complete.

"Hey, where do you plan on selling this pig?"

Upon reaching the city, as Ling Zhenfei was wondering which restaurant might buy the wild boar, Han Lian seemed to read his mind and asked.

"Well..." Ling Zhenfei scratched his head and searched his mind for a while but couldn't think of any restaurant that would take wild game.

"Hey, Fatty Yu, is that you? Yes, it's me. I've got a wild boar here. Come and buy it quick! Yes, drive over. I reckon this big fellow weighs about three to four hundred kilograms. If you don't drive here, do you expect me to deliver it to your doorstep?"

As if anticipating Ling Zhenfei's inability to respond, Han Lian took out her phone and made a call.

"Who did you call just now?" After she hung up, Ling Zhenfei looked at Han Lian in astonishment and asked doubtfully.

"The owner of an organic restaurant! Didn't I say I'd help you sell this pig? Since you don't have a buyer, I found one for you."

Han Lian replied nonchalantly, pinching her nose as she hopped down from the vehicle, seemingly overwhelmed by the strong, repugnant smell of the wild boar that had been choking her all the way.

Luckily, she was a police officer with good endurance. If it had been any other delicate girl, she might have been overpowered by the smell halfway through the journey.

The two waited by the roadside for less than ten minutes before a van pulled up in front of them.

The van door opened, and a not-so-old but plump man jumped out, followed by several workers.

"Hehe, Officer Han, here I am!" The Fatty stepped out of the van and squinted his small eyes as he walked over to Han Lian with a flattering smile on his face.

"Enough talk, this wild boar was just caught by my friend. Your restaurant specializes in game and pollution-free food, right? Let's just sell it to you," Han Lian said, cutting straight to the chase and pointing to the boar in the three-wheeler.

"Hmm, let me see."

Upon hearing this, Fatty stepped forward to examine the boar, nodding continuously, "Good, Officer Han, this pig is of fine quality. I'll take it. Name your price!"

Hearing that Fatty was asking her to set a price, Han Lian looked up at Ling Zhenfei.

Just as Ling Zhenfei was about to quote a price, Han Lian took the initiative and extended a finger to Fatty, "Alright, Fatty Yu, since you're being straightforward, I'll just name a fair price. One hundred yuan per kilogram, and this pig looks to be around three hundred kilograms. Let's call it an even three hundred kilograms, so you give thirty thousand yuan. Good?"

One hundred yuan per kilogram?!

Shocked to hear Han Lian quote such an exorbitant price, before Fatty could react, Ling Zhenfei was the one taken aback.

He had estimated that, although wild boar meat was more expensive than domestic pork, it wouldn't go beyond twenty yuan per kilogram at most.

But to his surprise, Han Lian's asking price was simply a lion's demand, multiplying the expected price fivefold!

"Cough! Cough!"

Seeing that Fatty was standing there without any reaction for quite a while, Ling Zhenfei deliberately coughed lightly twice, stealthily making eye contact with Han Lian.

"What's up, Fatty-Fish, do you think the price I'm asking is too high?"

Han Lian seemed not to notice Ling Zhenfei making eye contact with her. She swept her cold gaze towards Fatty and said with some impatience, "So, is it a deal or not? Just give me an answer, we still have urgent matters to attend to!"

Wow...

A buyer who asks for the sky and yet speaks so righteously, Ling Zhenfei had really never come across such a thing.

This time, Officer Han Han Lian truly broadened his horizon!

Initially, Ling Zhenfei was already somewhat incredulous at Han Lian's attitude. When he heard Fatty's final reaction, he simply couldn't believe his own ears.

Under a barrage of scolding from Han Lian, Fatty actually bobbed his head vigorously and said loudly, "Alright, Officer Han, just as you said, one hundred yuan per catty, this wild boar, thirty thousand yuan to seal the deal!"

After speaking, Fatty coolly turned his head back and signaled to a worker behind him with his eyes. The worker didn't say a word and pulled out a stack of money from a bag, swiftly counting out thirty thousand yuan and handing it over to Ling Zhenfei.

Although Ling Zhenfei was astonished by this transaction, his experience of winning tens of thousands through cheating at gambling allowed him to not be overly amazed by the thirty thousand yuan. Since this was a deal Han Lian had negotiated for him, it was not something to refuse.

Seeing Ling Zhenfei accept the money, Fatty cheerily fished out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Ling Zhenfei, "Buddy, this wild boar you caught is of excellent quality. My restaurant is doing fairly well right now. If you have more game like this in the future, just bring it straight to me. Rest assured, I'll definitely give you a satisfying price."

"Alright!" Ling Zhenfei took the business card and couldn't help but laugh when he saw the name on it.

It turned out that Fatty's name was really unique, actually named Yu Deshui!

Ling Zhenfei looked again at Fatty's demeanour. Although not that old, he was built with a big head and a thick neck, wobbling as he walked, indeed quite similar to a fat-headed fish swishing its tail in the water.

Fatty seemed to have a good impression of Ling Zhenfei as well. After asking for Ling Zhenfei's name and contact information, he had several workers load the wild boar onto a truck and then drove off.

Looking at the thirty thousand yuan in his hands, Ling Zhenfei couldn't help but feel somewhat emotional.

Although this money was incomparable to what he had won from gambling before, no matter how you look at it, gambling, fast as it may bring in money, was ultimately not the right path. The money earned from hunting the wild boar, however, made him feel at peace and moreover, it was something he could justifiably report back to his sister-in-law.

"Hey, now that you've sold your pig and collected the money, it's time to go back to the police station with me, right?"

Ling Zhenfei was in the middle of his reverie when suddenly Han Lian gave him a fierce pat on his shoulder from behind and said sternly.

Startled by her pat, Ling Zhenfei turned around and said in annoyance, "Hey hey hey, Officer Han, are you making a phone call or what? Besides, I have a name, you know. I'm not called 'hey'!"

"Giggle, giggle..." Seeing Ling Zhenfei's huffed-up appearance, Han Lian was instead amused by him and began giggling uncontrollably.

It took her a while to stop laughing, then she spoke seriously, "Alright, enough joking around. Regarding Lin Zhengnan's missing case, we have many doubts and want to understand the situation from you. Ling Zhenfei, you just agreed to go to the police station, you can't go back on your word now!"

"Alright, get in the car, to the police station!"

Ling Zhenfei had promised her, so naturally, he couldn't go back on his word. He nodded, asked Han Lian to get settled, and then drove the tricycle towards the Binyang City Public Security Bureau at full speed.

Officer Han sought Ling Zhenfei's assistance in investigating this disappearance because she had already asked Lin Zhengnan for the specific reasons for the disappearance right after the incident. However, Lin Zhengnan seemed to be hiding something. Despite his vacant expression, he was unwilling to disclose anything.
