As Tang Si turned to leave the office, he was t by soone entering. The person was tall and slender, dressed in casual attire, yet exuded an elegant air, in stark contrast to Tang Si’s deanor.
His facial features were exquisite, with gentle lines, making him appear approachable, refined, and cultured.
This was his younger brother, Wen Mu.
Tang Si didn’t bear the Wen family na, instead taking his mother’s surna.
Wen Mu had an elegant deanor, as gentle as jade. They were half-brothers, sharing the sa father but different mothers.
The only resemblance was in their eyes.
Tang Si possessed genuine peach-blossom eyes, naturally alluring.
While Wen Mu’s were not the sa, they resembled peach blossom eyes but were longer and deeper, exuding a gentle warmth that pervaded all.
Director Cheng stood up at this mont: "This is the consultant."
"A psychologist skilled in criminal profiling and analyzing criminal psychology."
"No need for much introduction, you are all family."
"Hello, Director Cheng." Wen Mu greeted politely.
Then he turned to Tang Si, smiling gently, speaking in a calm tone: "Brother, looking forward to working together."
Tang Si’s gaze fell lightly on the outstretched hand.
After a mont of silence, he smiled, his eyes filled with warmth as he looked at Wen Mu, extending his hand for a light shake: "Looking forward to working together."
"I forgot to tell you, in Wu Wang’s case, Wen Mu also assisted. He went to the mall to inquire, which led to the criminal profile, but he nearly died in the mall explosion."
"However, this information didn’t reach you. When you woke up, you directly cracked Wu Wang’s USB and obtained the evidence, but we still appreciate Consultant Wen’s help."
"Don’t say that, I wasn’t fully involved in this case." Wen Mu imdiately said softly: "The matter didn’t reach a conclusive point, so it’s not appropriate to claim credit."
Director Cheng: "What I an is, you two are brothers, almost in the sa line of work, so naturally you can think along the sa lines."
This ti’s case involved Mu Wanxue’s sunscreen shirt.
It had a hole burned by a cigarette, and when Song Yi brought it to Tang Si, he had a suspicion, so he sent it for examination.
The test results have now co out.
It was marijuana.
This matter is extensive, and orders have been given to investigate its source. Once confird, the anti-drug team will co over jointly.
Tang Si had no interest in exchanging pleasantries with them or engaging in superficial conversations here.
Although Wen Mu is overtly terd a consultant, Tang Si understands clearly that he is in essence a spy sent by Director Cheng to monitor him, fearing he might again act on his own without orders as he did in the last parking lot explosion.
One must know, if any mishap happens below, Director Cheng would be held responsible.
"You all talk, I will go outside to notify them to have a eting. Inform when we’re about to depart."
He left that sentence and exited.
Wen Mu watched Tang Si’s back, gently pursing his lips, then looked at Director Cheng: "My brother is actually quite solitary in nature, has been that way since childhood; please don’t mind him."
Director Cheng: "I am already used to it."
...
Tang Si erged from the office, feeling much lighter.
Inside there was nothing but oppression.
In the corner of the backyard, he leaned against the wall, smoking a cigarette.
Sluggish, lax.
He was quite tired.
"Brother officer, my leg hurts."
"Can you co back and see once you’re done?"
"You’ll protect , right?"
In his mind, scenes suddenly flashed of her voice, her face, her actions.
Radiant like the sun.
"Hug—" The woman’s voice seed to be right in front of him.
He suddenly lifted his eyes, filled with hope and joy, but seeing only emptiness before him...
He lowered his gaze again and leaned against the wall.
He chuckled softly, his tone faint and elusive: "Song Yi, I wish you could hug ..."
