Zhen Guangjun was eventually taken to the city bureau, and his office was temporarily sealed off.

The computer inside was crucial evidence; the hard drive contained his criminal evidence.

After Zhen Guangjun was arrested, the criminal investigation team quickly informed the relevant organizations, as his identity was not ordinary; he wasn't just a regular citizen.

Soon afterwards, the Jinghai Discipline Inspection Committee and related inspection agencies also got involved, conducting a thorough investigation into all the project approvals during his tenure.

Of course, that's a topic for later, so let's not talk about it now.

After Zhen Guangjun's arrest, Su Jiayi quickly conveyed the news to Li Xiang.

At this time, Li Xiang had already completed all the handover work with the Xiangping police regarding Deng Yifan.

They also bought high-speed train tickets for three o'clock in the afternoon, planning to return today.

Not a day was wasted.

They came over yesterday afternoon, conducted the interrogation this morning, and completed the handover in the afternoon, bringing Deng Yifan back to Jinghai for trial.

On the high-speed train, Deng Yifan's hands were cuffed in front of him, covered with a coat to avoid drawing public attention.

Li Xiang and Mao Ji stood on either side of him, holding his arms to prevent his escape, while Sun Zhidong wheeled a suitcase containing the hard drive, laptop, and other evidence of the crime.

"I'll see you off here. This trip was hurried, and we didn't host you properly or show you around to experience the local customs of Xiangping."

"Business kept us busy; sorry for the inconvenience, and you're welcome to visit Jinghai next time."

"Definitely next time, goodbye."

After passing the ticket gate, Deng Yifan's metal handcuffs were detected at the security checkpoint. Li Xiang hurriedly showed his credentials, explaining they were on duty, and they were allowed to pass through.

They bought adjacent seats, ABC in a row, with Deng Yifan seated in the middle at B, and Sun Zhidong in the aisle seat at D.

This time, Li Xiang and the team arrived in Jinghai a little after ten in the evening, with a car arranged by Su Jiayi to pick them up.

Deng Yifan was directly taken to the detention center.

Since it was so late, after handing over the personnel, evidence, and materials, Li Xiang and the others prepared to go home.

It was so late, the buses had long stopped running.

This is why he's eager to buy a car.

Ever since becoming a detective, early starts and late returns have become the norm.

Without a car, he needs someone to drive him home.

"Let's go, Xiang, I'll give you a ride for a bit."

"It's not on the way!"

Li Xiang knew where Sun Zhidong lived. To get from here to the dormitory and back home was in completely different directions.

"Between brothers, there's no such thing as out of the way. Why shouldn't I give you a ride? Besides, you're busy, and my dad has been wanting me to invite you over for a meal to thank you. How about after this case ends, you come over to my house?"

"Damn, you really have plans for me. You want to take me home to meet your parents? Forget about it."

"You should forget about it. I'm perfectly normal and forever like pretty girls."

"Forever like little sisters, does Xiao Mei know about this?"

"She knows."

Sun Zhidong obviously didn't get Li Xiang's pun, as he pressed the remote to unlock his BMW.

"I really have to thank you for helping me get permanent employment. Although I don't mind whether I get it or not, my old man cares. He almost brought over two cases of Maotai to thank you, but I stopped him because I didn't want to cause any issues."

Li Xiang: "..."

"Who is my brother? Someone who donated three hundred thousand without batting an eye. Would he care about those two cases of Maotai? My old man is just stubborn!"

"..." Li Xiang: "Are you your dad's real son?"

"Of course, why do you ask?"

"You don't seem like your dad at all!"

"Come on, you've never even met my dad. How do you know I'm not like him? My mouth is very much like his."

They bantered back and forth along the way, not realizing how quickly time passed.

Soon, they arrived home: "Take care on your way back."

"Don't worry, I'm experienced."

Being away for two days left "Meiqiu" bored at home.

Upon hearing Li Xiang's footsteps, he frantically scratched at the door, whining lovingly.

"Long time no see, Meiqiu. Did you miss me?"

"Woo woo~"

During the trip, Meiqiu's feeding issue was resolved with an automatic feeder for food and water.

With frequent trips before, there was no one to take care of Meiqiu at home.

When he was young, it was always Sun Zhidong who helped with feeding. Later, he thought it was too much trouble to bother others, so he found an automatic feeder online.

After a little training, Meiqiu would wait by the feeder at meal times.

Even if Li Xiang was away for a week, he didn't have to worry about Meiqiu going hungry at home.

"Oh no, what happened to my slippers?"

After Li Xiang walked in, Meiqiu nudged against him non-stop. Only after he managed to pry him away did he notice both his slippers were torn to shreds.

"Woo woo~"

"So that's why you kept standing in front of the shoe cabinet, to stop me from finding out but how could I not notice, knowing I'm going to change into slippers when I'm back?"

Under the system's training, Li Xiang hasn't noticed Meiqiu having a habit of chewing shoes; this was the first time.

"Were you bored at home? I'll take you out for a walk."

"Woof~"

Hearing about a walk, Meiqiu's eyes lit up. It was so dull being home, but didn't expect that after chewing the slippers, he would get to go out. Now he knew for next time.

Slippers = walk

"Let's go to the System Space and burn off some of that extra energy!"
