Lin Zhengnan was a wealthy businessman and a public figure in Binyang, so Han Lian could not be too demanding and had to change her approach. She hoped to gain some insight into the situation by beating around the bush with Ling Zhenfei.

Ling Zhenfei was also puzzled as to why, knowing that the person who had hired a hitman to kill him was Du Kongting, Lin Zhengnan still seemed indifferent when meeting Du Kongting.

Was this out of absolute trust in Du Kongting, or was there another secret?

At this point, Ling Zhenfei himself could not find an answer. However, since Han Lian had come to him for information, he did not mind sharing the truth with her, which could help the police solve the case.

Back at the Public Security Bureau, Han Lian led Ling Zhenfei straight to her office.

"Have a seat anywhere, what would you like to drink? Tea or coffee?" Han Lian asked with a smile, taking off her coat and getting a paper cup ready for Ling Zhenfei.

"When I'm out, I'm not so particular. Just give me a cup of plain boiled water, it's thirst-quenching!"

Ling Zhenfei answered leisurely, plopping down on the sofa and crossing his legs. He squinted his eyes, admiring Han Lian at that moment, and was somewhat infatuated by her pure and fresh charm.

After taking off her coat, Han Lian, wearing a light blue police uniform shirt and a black leather belt cinched at her waist, looked spirited and lively.

Han Lian went to the water dispenser to get him water, unaware of the invasive nature of Ling Zhenfei's gaze.

By the time she returned with a cup of cool water, swaying her slender waist, Ling Zhenfei could distinctly sense the unique fragrance emanating from her body filling the air.

"Here, this is the cooled boiled water from this morning. In the summer, it's better than any beverage!" Han Lian said with a smile, handing him the cup.

As Ling Zhenfei was about to take it, his eyes inadvertently caught sight of her slender, onion-like hands, and he couldn't help but stare in fascination.

During that momentary distraction, Ling Zhenfei's hands failed to react in time, and instead of taking the cup, his fingertips lightly brushed against Han Lian's hand.

Ah!

Han Lian had never had physical contact with a man before.

Having been touched by Ling Zhenfei all of a sudden, her delicate body trembled as if electrified, and instinctively she let out a startled cry, withdrawing her hand.

Smack!

Han Lian's withdrawal was abrupt, but unintentionally resulted in the cup full of water plummeting down in free fall, splashing and soaking the hem of her skirt.

"Ah, sorry, I got you wet!"

Ling Zhenfei had not expected his lapse to cause trouble. In his frantic state, he lost his composure and reached out to wipe the water off Han Lian's legs.

"You... you're harassing me!"

She wanted to scream, but was wary of colleagues hearing and jumping to conclusions.

After all, she was a police officer - an officer who had been indecently approached within the very police station. If word got out, it would be shameful for her. Her face flushing, she pushed Ling Zhenfei away.

Yet, while feeling guilty inside, he couldn't help but rise to a tingling sensation as if he had been electrocuted.

"You... did you do that on purpose?"

Han Lian's pretty face turned bright red, and it took her quite a while to calm down. She indignantly glared at Ling Zhenfei and chided him without any good temper.

"Don't get me wrong, I really didn't do it on purpose!"

Ling Zhenfei's face turned beet red, knowing that no matter how much he explained, Han Lian wouldn't believe him, so he changed the subject: "You wanted to ask me about the case, didn't you? Let's get down to business!"

"Hmph, then talk about the case first. If you spout nonsense, I won't be polite to you!"

With a coquettish snort of anger, Han Lian gave Ling Zhenfei a scornful look, secretly thinking that this guy pretends to be upright on the surface, but he's full of dirty tricks behind his back.

What did he just say? "I got you wet," and now "Let's start with the business at hand." Isn't he quite blatantly taking liberties with her!

"Hehe, Officer Han, your beauty's anger is really frightening, I wouldn't dare talk nonsense in front of you," Ling Zhenfei feigned fear in response to Han Lian's angry look and shrank back.

After the joke was over, Ling Zhenfei then detailed the process of how he saved Lin Zhengnan in the mountains to Han Lian.

"What, it was Du Kongting trying to take Lin Zhengnan down!"

Having heard Ling Zhenfei's account, although Han Lian was surprised, as a police officer, she didn't find it shocking at all.

After all, she had solved cases of murder for hire before.

However, Han Lian really did not understand what kind of relationship there was between Lin Zhengnan and Du Kongting that could make Lin Zhengnan swallow such grievance.

Han Lian made detailed notes of the information provided by Ling Zhenfei.

Nevertheless, since Lin Zhengnan had not reported the incident to the police, it was not appropriate for the police to file a case, so they could only make a record of it for now.

"Alright, I've cooperated with your investigation, can I go now?" Seeing Han Lian had finished taking notes, Ling Zhenfei yawned, stood up, and was about to leave.

"Hey, stop right there!"

Han Lian clearly hadn't gotten over her anger at Ling Zhenfei taking advantage and called out to stop him: "This matter is over, but what about the last one? What do you have to say about that?"

"Last time? What happened last time?" Ling Zhenfei knew she was referring to the bank robbery, but he deliberately played dumb with her.

"You… stop playing dumb with me. Last time at the bank you subdued four robbers all by yourself. I saw it all on the surveillance footage."

"Hehe, since you've seen it, why ask me? Alright, I'm very busy, bye!"

Ling Zhenfei smiled and winked at Han Lian, knowing that if Han Lian caught him again, it would be another long series of notes, and with that, he quickly ran out.

"Hey, you, what are you running for, stop right there."

Seeing Ling Zhenfei was about to escape again, Han Lian jumped with anger and was about to chase after him when the phone in the office started ringing urgently, and, having no choice, she had to answer the call.

Meanwhile, Ling Zhenfei had already slipped out of the Public Security Bureau.

Mounting his tattered tricycle, Ling Zhenfei left the Public Security Bureau, intending to return to the village, when he suddenly remembered that he had planted all the vegetable seeds at home in the ground last time. He was planning to use agriculture as the foundation for his entrepreneurship, and the first condition was to stock up on more seeds.

His sister-in-law usually bought the vegetable seeds from the agricultural supply store in town, where the quality of seeds was mixed. Ling Zhenfei decided to start with the quality of seeds and planned to go directly to the city's agricultural quality company to purchase a batch of high-quality seeds.

Having made up his mind, Ling Zhenfei rode his bike straight to the agricultural supply company and purchased some high-quality seeds for tomatoes, potatoes, Chinese cabbages, and other vegetables.

"Yo, isn't this the farmer brother, Ling Zhenfei?"

As Ling Zhenfei was loading the seeds onto his bike, he suddenly heard a sarcastic voice from behind: "Hehe, Ling Zhenfei, weren't you acting all high and mighty? How come you just left the company and turned into a country bumpkin?"
