"I finally figured out what happened to you that day," Shen Yi said, laughing as she patted him on the back, a look of sudden realization on her face.

At this moment, Su Qing was squatting by the tree on the roadside, dry heaving again. Fortunately, he hadn't drunk much this time, and although he felt a bit nauseous, it wasn't as bad as last time.

"You have the nerve to talk about me. You're definitely a boss. I didn't notice anything else, but you sure are skilled at toasting. The thing is, you didn't even drink, you fooled me with juice!"

Su Qing looked up, responding with an expression of defiance.

He knew he had a low tolerance for alcohol, even lower than some women and children, but using juice was just too much.

"I still have to drive later, you know?" Shen Yi said, crossing her arms and smiling.

Even she didn't expect Su Qing's tolerance to be this low. Perhaps because she socializes more frequently, her tolerance is better. Encountering someone with such a low tolerance was a bit unimaginable to her.

Seeing him recover a bit, Shen Yi supported his arm and said, "Feeling better? If so, let's get in the car. I'll take you home."

Upon hearing this, Su Qing nodded and didn't refuse. They talked about many things today and had a basic understanding of each other, which counted as getting to know each other.

The main reason was that Shen Yi kept finding topics to hear him talk during the meal. Coupled with her rich experience, talking with Su Qing was effortless for her, and the conversation was very enjoyable.

More than half an hour later, Shen Yi parked the car downstairs at Nanhe Community.

"Alright, I'm heading back," Su Qing said as he opened the car door, but in the next second, his arm was pulled, and he immediately heard,

"What, not inviting me up for a bit?" Shen Yi suddenly said.

Upon hearing this, Su Qing was momentarily stunned and didn't even know how to respond. He's not an inexperienced guy who's never been in a relationship; he knows exactly what those words imply.

Seeing him like this, Shen Yi giggled and said, "Just kidding, head upstairs. Call if you need anything."

Hearing this, Su Qing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, nodding as he got out of the car. After taking just a couple of steps, he heard Shen Yi speak again, "By the way, think about the job offer. I really think you're quite suitable."

Su Qing does short videos for social media, a field she knows something about. Her company even has related business, so it's not without reason.

"Come on, I know my own level. I'd be of no use at your place. I can't just take a salary for nothing, right? Plus, I don't like being bossed around; I've gotten used to being free," Su Qing said with a smile.

It was obvious that Shen Yi wanted to help him because he saved her, but people must have self-awareness. If he really went, the benefits and whatnot could be discussed, but their relationship would change from friends to boss and employee, which he didn't like.

Moreover, he hated having a boss hanging over him, nagging. With his temper, if he couldn't hold it in, it would be awkward for Shen Yi. So it's better not to open the door. After all, he was doing alright. He believed he could eventually make a fortune in the stock market. Why build emotional debts?

Hearing his refusal, Shen Yi wasn't surprised. Through tonight's interaction, she had a basic understanding of Su Qing's personality. Still, she felt a bit regretful because if he had joined her company, she would be able to hear his charming voice every day.

"Who said that? I'm talking about... the three... accompanying thing," she said, not waiting for his response, and drove away with a chuckle, knowing she had achieved her goal of knowing where he lived.

[Each flower enters each eye, although you refused Shen Yi's proposal, she wasn't ready to give up. When a person gets lucky, nothing can stop it.]

"Lucky my foot!" Su Qing spat out with some helplessness.

For some reason, when he was talking with Shen Yi, there was little commentary, almost no direct hints of her inner thoughts, which made it difficult for him to gauge what she wanted. This was quite rare, possibly because the topics they discussed were quite superficial.

Meanwhile, in a hospital room in Jiangcheng City, Zhao Minghui had already woken up, surrounded by Du Qiang and a few others.

"Master, rest assured, we've caught the people. Even Jiang Dabao has confessed. Just focus on recovering."

"Exactly, Old Zhao should rest for a while after getting injured this time."

"Oh, paid leave, I'm so envious. When will I get hurt and rest for half a year, haha!"

In the hospital room, Zhao Minghui was in good spirits. Although he had a stab wound in his abdomen, he was rushed to the hospital in time, and no organs were injured.

Seeing his colleagues coming to visit him one by one, he felt quite gratified.

After a brief visit, everyone left since it was really late, and the patient needed rest. However, Li Zijun stayed behind, prompted by Zhao Minghui's gaze.

Once everyone else had left and only the two remained in the room, Zhao Minghui finally spoke, "Xiao Li, I..."

Seeing his hesitation, Li Zijun softly said, "Are you keeping me here to ask about Su Qing?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Minghui nodded. As a criminal policeman, he paid attention to anything related to the case.

What Su Qing said the night before last, he hadn't taken seriously at the time. But after waking up, he couldn't stop thinking about it.

What kind of person would know he was going to have an accident at noon? Even specifically advising him not to act alone lately. The main thing was that Su Qing had obliquely asked about where he was having lunch that day.

If it were nothing, this would be literally unbelievable, but now in hindsight, Su Qing's words from the night before last obviously seemed off.

Not to mention, as a criminal policeman, even an ordinary person would have suspicions. So he asked Li Zijun to stay back for a chat. After all, only the three of them had been present at the time.

"To be honest, even if you hadn't asked me to stay, I was planning to find time to talk to you."

"Don't worry. I took him back to the station for questioning in the afternoon. Master and Old Yan asked the questions, and I kept my distance. There really was no issue. He was just making stuff up," Li Zijun replied truthfully.

She had anticipated Zhao's doubts once he woke up, hence her actions.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Minghui was initially surprised, then breathed a sigh of relief. With Lin Chengcai and Yan Lie personally conducting the questions, he felt reassured and then chided:

"You, you, you couldn't just bring someone back at random without evidence, even if it's someone you know well!"

To this, Li Zijun shook her head, "It's not like you don't know Niu Fei's business. Anything remotely related to the anti-narcotics department can't be taken lightly. Plus, with what happened to you, considering what Su Qing said the night before last, we three were the only ones there. Who else would I look for? Better safe than sorry!"

In response, Zhao Minghui nodded. Although Niu Fei was a small-time thug, the anti-narcotics department had been watching a particular line for a long time, and mistakes could not be made.

"Funny thing is, today Su Qing somehow provoked Jiang Dabao to confess, so it wasn't a waste to have him come by."

Hearing this, Zhao Minghui was momentarily stunned and then asked, "How is this related to that kid?"

"It sure is,"

Then Li Zijun recounted everything from the interrogation room, including how he accidentally tricked Yan Lie into getting Jiang Dabao to confess.

Even now, she believed Su Qing was just lucky. It was mainly due to Yan Lie's experience that they got the confession.

After listening to her story, even Zhao Minghui couldn't help but laugh and cry:

"Who would've thought this kid would actually turn out to be a good luck charm for us!"
