Except for Wang Tao.
But in the world of adults, even if soone dislikes others, they do not tear faces directly; he might only occasionally talk cynically.
Luo Fei is not one to tolerate him either, retaliating directly as necessary. After hitting a few dead ends, he cald down a bit.
Plus, with He Xin and a few others diating, the two haven’t made too much of a scene so far.
Of course, every ti Luo Fei goes to the cafeteria, his favorite thing is to chat with Old Wu, keeping within ranges that wouldn’t raise the other’s suspicion.
Occasionally, he’d even enthusiastically help with mopping the floor or so odd chores.
No one found it strange, just considering him very helpful.
And Old Wu particularly enjoyed this interaction, so every ti he saw Luo Fei, he’d initiate a chat.
Until Friday after work, Luo Fei kept his promise and took Zhang Wei and the other two to Haidilao.
At the dinner table, with a few drinks down, everyone opened up and began chatting about everything,
eventually, He Xin and Lin Jie brought up Wang Tao.
"Originally, before Team Leader Zhou was transferred, Wang Tao was recomnded to succeed, but Director Zheng directly nominated you, that’s why Wang Tao is upset and has been acting weird these days."
"But don’t take it to heart; anyway, everyone recognizes your capabilities. You’re the rightful leader for this team; we all truly accept it!"
"Today, you told this, showing you indeed consider as a brother, so I won’t say much; let’s cooperate well in the future, and I’ll ensure our team keeps getting better."
"Alright, for the honor of the team, cheers!"
After so heartfelt exchanges, relationships among them took a qualitative leap.
They chatted for a long ti before finally parting ways after eating and drinking their fill.
Luo Fei didn’t choose to return to the dormitory but took a car back to the county.
Initially, Yang i offered to pick him up, but he declined.
The two agreed to et early the next day, so Luo Fei went straight ho.
"Bro, you’re finally back!"
As soon as he opened the door, Luo Xiaoxiao eagerly ran over to greet him.
"Bro, is the city fun? Is it better than the county? When can you take to the city?"
She kept asking while Luo Fei was changing his shoes.
Wu Yan followed along with irritation, "Go, go, stop bothering your brother, not everyone is like you, always thinking about playing; he’s there to work."
After grumbling at her daughter, Wu Yan looked at Luo Fei, "Why did you co back so late? Did you eat?"
"I already ate. After work today, I treated my team mbers to a al, so I returned late."
"That’s right, you should treat people to a al when you start new, establishing good relations... How’s adjusting in the city, are you getting along with colleagues?"
Though he called back every night, Wu Yan couldn’t help worrying.
"Don’t worry, mom, the colleagues are great."
"That’s good, rember to engage with everyone more regularly and build good relationships..."
Wu Yan continued nagging, while Luo Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but interrupt, "Mom, you’re saying I should know these, my brother is an adult now, he must know, doesn’t need your reminders, right?"
"You girl, daring to talk back to your mom, feeling itchy, eh?"
Wu Yan was both amused and annoyed, raising her hand.
Luo Xiaoxiao cleverly hid behind Luo Fei.
Luo Fei chatted with the mother and daughter for a while before Luo Hao ca out from his room, called his brother, and quickly retreated back inside.
He had recently perford poorly in exams and was reprimanded by Luo Fei, causing him to avoid Luo Fei even more.
Saturday morning at eight, Luo Fei told Wu Yan he’d et Yang i.
The two arranged to et around Music Square.
Though it had only been a week, Yang i felt like it’s been a month.
Upon seeing each other, she eagerly embraced him, "Luo Fei!"
In front of Luo Fei, she often exhibited an innocent deanor.
Still, this was more reserved, and she rarely acted so boldly, suggesting separation impact.
Though Luo Fei missed her equally, his emotions were comparatively reserved as a man.
After spending so intimate monts, they walked hand in hand around Music Square.
After updating each other on recent events, Luo Fei suddenly said, "Oh right, Yang i, can you tell about your ntor Zheng Bei’s case?"
"I’ve shared before, haven’t I...?" Yang i responded but still briefly recounted what she knew.
Luo Fei listened quietly, and pondered.
"Luo Fei, why suddenly bring up this, did you find the killer during your city visit?"
"Almost."
???
"Almost?! Did you actually find the killer!"
She joked offhandedly but was surprised by his reply, causing Yang i to gasp in shock.
"Don’t get too excited; I’m only suspicious for now. But Zhao Captain and I already requested Director Zheng to investigate this case."
Seeing he wasn’t joking, Yang i suddenly felt emotional, even crying.
Luo Fei was startled, "Yang i, what’s wrong? Why cry?"
"I’m fine, Luo Fei, are you serious? Are you really investigating my ntor’s case?"
She frantically wiped her eyes, sniffing for confirmation.
"Of course, I can’t lie about such matters."
"Thank you, Luo Fei, really thank you. If you could catch the person who hard my ntor, I... I..."
Yang i was beyond words out of excitent.
Though her ti in the force wasn’t long, Zheng Bei always cared for her like a guardian.
After Zheng Bei passed, she yearned for so justice for him...
"Yang i, I understand your intentions, rest assured, fighting cri and capturing criminals is every officer’s lifelong pursuit. As long as the province grants permission, I will pursue this to the end!"
Once Yang i stabilized her emotions,
Luo Fei solemnly reminded, "But for now, keep this secret, don’t tell anyone."
"No need for you to say, I have that awareness."
Luo Fei rested at ho for two days, returning to work on Monday.
As usual, he was the first to arrive.
In recent days, many also noticed.
Seeing his dedication, those initially skeptical finally realized Luo Fei being valued by Zheng Changjun wasn’t without reason.
An industrious or an excellent person isn’t remarkable,
But soone who’s both exceptional and diligent is quite rare.
If they were leaders, they’d also prefer promoting such individuals.
Everyone couldn’t help but admire Luo Fei’s appointnt as team leader, with no jealousy involved.
Except for Wang Tao, who remained dismissive, convinced Luo Fei is rely showcasing.
At eight-thirty, Zheng Changjun called, notifying Luo Fei and Zhao Donglai to his office.
Realizing it pertained to the 3.11 case, they swiftly proceeded.
Sure enough, upon entering, Zheng Changjun handed them a thick archive box, sealed.
"Here’s what you wanted."
Zheng Changjun gazed seriously at them, emphasized, "Donglai, Luo Fei, I assured the province and staked Jiangzhou City’s entire police force’s reputation for this case, so don’t let down."
"Director Zheng, really appreciate your trust, I guarantee I’ll provide a perfect report for you!"
Luo Fei imagined the imnse pressure he faced retrieving it, touched, he promptly assured.
"Good, hearing this brings peace; want elite officers from the city to assist?"
"No need, our Criminal Investigation Team handling this is more than sufficient."
Luo Fei continued, "Right, Director Zheng, are all surveillance copies at the cri scene included here?"
Although Old Wu avoided caras, Luo Fei didn’t believe he’d evade them all, focusing on monitoring various routes near the scene.
Though more than a year passed, footage was overwritten, still during investigation, police likely saved copies with case files.
