At the point of farewell, Xiaomei insisted on taking a photo with Lin Feifei, and she didn't refuse, posing generously for a photo with her.

Sun Zhidong also wanted to join in, but Xiaomei dragged him out of the Frog Store by the ear, "You wish!"

"I was wrong, I won't dare next time."

"You still want a next time?"

...

"Your friend is really funny, haven't laughed like this in a long time." Lin Feifei said with a smile as she watched their backs.

"Yeah, let's go too, Coalball hasn't eaten at home yet."

Thinking about it, Coalball was indeed pitiful today; Li Xiang hadn't been home all day, so Coalball had only eaten once in the morning. By now, he must be starving.

"Right, let's hurry, Coalball must be famished."

On the way back, Li Xiang slowly brought up his questions, "How much do you know about Yue Zheng's wife?"

Lin Feifei glanced at him curiously, "You mean He Qian'er?"

"Yes."

"He Qian'er is Yue Zheng's third wife. It's said they met at a friend's party. Yue Zheng had a bit too much to drink, got attracted to He Qian'er, and even caused some drama over her, fighting someone out of jealousy. If his brother Yue Cheng hadn't arrived in time, he might have ended up in the hospital."

As for Yue Zheng's character, Lin Feifei scoffed. Although he's her father, he never took responsibility as a father for even a day.

Instead, he's always getting into trouble and can't change his ways.

She wants to stay by his side, watching him slip little by little into the abyss. If she could push him further down, even better.

When he reaches complete despair, telling him the truth about everything would be so satisfying.

Unfortunately, there's no chance for that.

"Yue Zheng has a brother?"

"Yes, his brother is ten years younger, used to be in the army, but after retiring with no special skills, he couldn't find work, so he stayed around to help drive and occasionally do some bodyguard work."

"How's the relationship between He Qian'er and Yue Zheng?"

"I haven't heard much about it, but as an older husband and younger wife, they often post pictures online looking very affectionate. You're not suspecting her, are you? It shouldn't be possible; she wasn't in Jinghai at the time. I feel the culprit is among those present that night, the only ones who had access to my medicine."

"So who had access to the medicine that night?"

Lin Feifei recalled carefully, "After the incident, I went next door to find Xiao Ai and call for help. Wu Jie was the first to arrive at the scene, followed by the assistant Xiaowen and his brother Yue Cheng. The hotel lobby manager and security also came one after another. They all entered my room and had the opportunity to come into contact with the medicine on my coffee table."

Hearing this list, Li Xiang quietly calculated who had the larger possibility.

Combining it with the intelligence held by the task force, it seemed apparent Wu Jie had the greatest suspicion.

"How much do you know about Wu Jie?"

"He's average in ability. Yue Zheng's popularity had long plummeted, so the agent the company assigned to him couldn't be much better. But this guy somehow manages to make things work, has his method of dealing with issues. Several times when Yue Zheng got into trouble, Wu Jie was the one to smooth things over in public."

Like this time, it was also Wu Jie who came to discuss a private settlement with her.

"Is he married?"

"Not yet, seems like he doesn't even have a partner?"

Lin Feifei's answer deepened Li Xiang's suspicion of Wu Jie, "Could he be the culprit?"

"Doesn't seem like it, he probably doesn't have the guts, right? But one may know a person's face, not their heart. I can't say for sure."

If she could say for sure who it was, she would have already told the police. She just thinks none of them seem possible, which is why she's so pessimistic.

After chatting along the way, Li Xiang arrived home smoothly.

Coalball seemed to hear the key opening the door and started barking even more energetically.

"Coalball is really starving."

Just as Li Xiang was about to prepare milk formula, Lin Feifei quickly snatched it, so he turned around and picked up Coalball instead.

"Oh, Coalball's opened his eyes."

Having taken care of him for so many days, Coalball finally opened his eyes. Those bright black eyes looked at Li Xiang with curiosity, the expression unbearably cute.

"Oh, Coalball is awesome, here, have some milk."

Driven by the scent, Coalball eagerly started drinking the milk formula.

"He's so adorable!"

The two of them squatted together, feeding Coalball the milk, occasionally teasing his little paws. Their heads sometimes got so close, they even bumped together, causing Lin Feifei's cheeks to blush slightly, creating an ambiguous atmosphere.

After feeding Coalball, Lin Feifei stood up blushing, "I'll head back first, you get to bed early tonight."

If she stayed any longer, Lin Feifei felt her heart beat faster. She had no feelings while drunk last night, but now her heart was racing.

"Okay, let me see you off."

Watching the red Panamera speeding away, Li Xiang felt a bit of a sense of loss.

At this moment, his impression of Lin Feifei had changed drastically, especially after learning about her past, realizing how hard it was for a young girl to get where she is today.

"I'll work hard too."

Li Xiang silently encouraged himself. At this moment, he also had two goals to strive for. The immediate priority was to solve Yue Zheng's case, then find a way to get permanent status and become a full-fledged police officer.

That night, according to his routine, Li Xiang ran through a free level, earning 3000 skill points and then slept soundly. In his dream, he dreamt of capturing the suspect in the Yue Zheng case, receiving commendation from the leaders, successfully becoming permanent, and during the promotion ceremony, suddenly being doused with cold water, waking him up. He saw the alarm on his phone ringing.

Today is the second day of the Lunar New Year. It was supposed to be a holiday, but he was drafted into the task force, so he had to get up and go to work.

After washing up and feeding Coalball, Li Xiang went to the city bureau to work.

"Meeting in five minutes to organize today's work."

Just as Li Xiang arrived at the task force, Deputy Leader Feng Yonglin started rallying everyone for a meeting.

"Last night, Mao Ji found more evidence confirming the affair between He Qian'er and Wu Jie, which mostly confirms our suspicion. Today, I plan to confront them and see their reaction. To prevent them from colluding privately, the task force will split into two groups for simultaneous interrogation. Mao Ji and Zhao Yin will handle Wu Jie, and I'll team up with Li Xiang for He Qian'er. Li Xiang, are you okay with going on a trip?"

After distributing the tasks, Feng Yonglin turned to Li Xiang and asked.

"No problem, I'll follow the leader's orders."

"Alright then, that's decided. I'll request authorization for the summons."

Since he had to go on a trip, there was no one to look after Coalball at home. After some thinking, Sun Zhidong is allergic to dogs, so Coalball couldn't be looked after by him. After much consideration, he could only ask Lin Feifei to help take care of it.

Recalling how she gently fed Coalball milk last night, it seemed leaving Coalball in her care for a few days wouldn't be an issue!
