On the next morning, Xiang Wan did not see Cheng Zheng delivering breakfast, so she went ahead and bought a lot of food, then hailed a cab and went to the Criminal Investigation Unit.

Due to Zhou Dequans case, many detectives worked overtime. When she went inside the office, she saw lots of them had dark circles under their eyes.

Morning!

Morning, Teacher Xiang.

I brought you breakfast. Have some while its hot?

Thank you! Youre too nice

Dont mention it

She handed out a few sets of breakfasts before asking Little Liu. Is Captain Bai here? I brought him a set too!

Little Liu was busy keying in some data on his computer. He did not even lift his head to reply. He just came back from the detention center. I think he should be inside his office now.

I see. Xiang Wan gave it a thought and asked another question. How about Captain Cheng?

Little Liu stopped his work when he heard that and looked at Xiang Wan with a puzzled look. It seemed as though he was puzzled that she would also give Cheng Zheng a set of breakfastthis was because Cheng Zheng was notoriously known for being difficult to approach.

Xiang Wan did not know why he looked puzzled. Whats up? Hes not in?

Little Liu pointed towards the ceiling. Hes upstairs. Hes here since yesterday night.

Oh, no wonder!

Xiang Wan gave him a friendly smile.

Alright, please go ahead to do your work. Ill give them their breakfast!

She had bought breakfast for those she was closer with so as not to appear too obvious when she brought Bai Muchuan breakfast. It could be said that in order to give Young Master Bai breakfast, she had racked her brains over it.

When she brought the food and entered Bai Muchuans office, she saw him looking at the laptop screen and was busy typing something. He gave her a glance. Teacher Xiang, feed me!

What?

Xiang Wan felt helpless as she fed him a small meat bun. How is it?

Bai Muchuan swallowed the meat bun in no time and nodded his head. The taste is fine.

Xiang Wan raised an eyebrow and felt amused. Im asking you how is the case?

Bai Muchuans eyebrows seem to move a little, looked at her, and opened his mouth again.

Pffft!Xiang Wan could not resist laughing. I feel like youre a baby bird waiting to be fed!

Bai Muchuan smiled teasingly. Please feed me!

You! Xiang Wan fed him another small meat bun.

He gave a satisfied grunt. This time, Bai Muchuan ate more elegantly. That also meant that he was really hungry earlier.

Xiang Wan felt a little heartache for him. She gave him the soybean milk. Here, drink some, slowly.

Bai Muchuan enjoyed her attentiveness. This time, he did not complain about soybean milk not having the smell of soybean. He drank almost half of the soybean milk and wiped his mouth elegantly. Teacher Xiang, do you know when you look the prettiest?

Xiang Wan felt this change of topic was sudden. When?

Bai Muchuan smiled casually. When youre serving me.

Urgh!Xiang Wan glared at him. Why are you so shameless?

Bai Muchuan gave her a glance and went back to look at his laptop. How am I shameless?

Xiang Wan followed his line of sight and saw the laptop screen showing the investigation report of Zhou Dequan that Bai Muchuan was working on.

She creased her eyebrows and snorted. You want praise and want to be served because you caught a bad person. In short, you wanted to take advantage of me by making me buy breakfast for you every day!

Bai Muchuan smiled casually, a meaningful glint flashed past his eyes. I want to have a taste of how it feels like to have someone buying breakfast for me every day

! Xiang Wan laughed and fanned using her hand. What a sour smell!

Bai Muchuan asked as a matter-of-factly, Is it? How come I didnt smell it?

Childish!

Ahem! Bai Muchuan put on a straight face and diverted the topic. We have some new leads in the case. We found out that the strangling marks on Zhou Dequans wifes neck are very similar to the ones on Mao Guiguis neck. Currently, the Institute of Forensic Science is conducting further analysis and comparison on it.

As long as the police got ahold of strong material evidence, it would not matter much even if Zhou Dequan denied it.

Xiang Wan felt slightly eased by the news. What about others?

Bai Muchuan took a look at her. The others are also making progress

Progress is progress. But now that Zhou Dequan is caught, will there be trouble?she thought.

This was what Xiang Wan was worried about.

However, before she could ask, Tang Yuanchu entered the office holding a cup of soybean milk.

Captain Bai.

Whats up?

Captain Chengs mom is here. Tang Yuanchu suddenly took a glance at Xiang Wan, curiosity was written on his face. She asked me where Teacher Xiang was. She said she wanted to meet her

Eh?Xiang Wan thought she might have heard wrongly.

During Xing Feifeis birthday party, Xiang Wan saw Cheng Zhengs parents from far away. They were quite distant when socializing with others but treated their son especially well His mother frequently put food onto his plate, while his father had a pleasant expression From the looks of it, they really loved and doted their son.

It was not strange that she came to visit her son. But why did she want to meet Xiang Wan?

More importantly, why should she meet her? On what basis?

Shes not going! Bai Muchuan answered directly before Xiang Wan could answer. Its the working hours, he glanced at Tang Yuanchu. Visitors are not allowed!

Yes, Sir! Tang Yuanchu answered weakly, his eyebrows closely knitted together.

This is a hot potato!

He knew that Bai Muchuan and Cheng Zheng could not get along. But from his perspective, he did not want to offend any of them

When Tang Yuanchu went back to the hall, Cheng Zheng had come down from his office.

Both mother and son were conversing with each other. Tang Yuanchu saw that and stopped walking, wanting to find a chance to sneak away. However, Cheng Zhengs mom noticed Tang Yuanchu and turned to smile at him.

Due to eye contact, Tang Yuanchu could not try to sneak away anymore.

He could only walk over and gave her a friendly smile. Aunty, Teacher Xiang is busy. Shes not convenient to meet you.

Cheng Zhengs mom stopped smiling, while Cheng Zheng furrowed his eyebrows and looked at his mom coldly.

Why are you looking for her?

His moms expression immediately eased up when Cheng Zheng talked to her. Didnt your Aunty Tan set you both up for a blind date? Besides coming here to look you up, I also want to see how Xiang Wan is, if she can be our familys daughter-in-law

Cheng Zheng:

Tang Yuanchu:

Yesterday was the Mid-Autumn Festival, so Cheng Zhengs mom had specially come to Jin City to see her son. She also met up with Xiang Wans Youngest Aunt, Tan Yuechun, where they talked about the blind date. However, half-way through the night, Cheng Zheng was called up for duty by Bai Muchuan. Cheng Zhengs mom was not in time to ask her son about this. As she would be leaving Jin City that day, she wanted to meet Xiang Wan, as well as seeing her son again before going back.

However, her mindless sentence sparked off a huge controversy in the office.

At the main hall, besides Tang Yuanchu and Cheng Zheng, there were also other police officers.

Initially, this was something that only a few people knew. Now that Cheng Zhengs mom mentioned it openly in the quiet hall, it was like she planted a bomb in the office, and soon everyone got to know about this
