This awkward situation caused everyone in the office to burst into laughter, but soon they returned to the main topic—Luo Fei seed to have been absent from everyone's sight for two days.
"Captain Zhao, did our team leader request leave from you? It was so sudden, we had no idea."
"Yes, he did."
Zhao Donglai thought for a mont and answered them.
"He's gone back to his hotown for a bit to handle so matters. I just rembered that myself."
As Zhao Donglai left, everyone gathered together.
Zhang Wei had a sinister smile on his face, which made He Xin sowhat helpless.
"If you have sothing to say, just say it. Why act all mysterious as if you know so big news?"
"Don't say I didn't warn you; I think I can figure it out!"
"How long do you think the team leader will take to handle his affairs after going back? From what I know of him, he handles things with lightning speed; he probably won't take a day to resolve things. So, what would he do with the rest of the day?"
"Why do you care how the team leader arranges his ti? Tomorrow's the weekend, and there's no work scheduled, so the team leader can do whatever he wants."
Lin Jie and the others shrugged it off.
Considering Luo Fei's contributions to the entire city's public security bureau and the intensity of his investigative work, taking a regular weekend off is perfectly reasonable, not to ntion a long vacation.
The more capable you are, the more work you do, and those with rit rise to the top—that's an old rule.
"I think our team leader probably couldn't resist going back to have a date with his girlfriend. How could he miss such a good opportunity? After all, they only get to et a few tis a year."
"Tch, how boring."
Everyone sighed and walked away when they heard it was this kind of boring gossip.
Zhang Wei put his hands on his hips, looking dissatisfied.
"Don't be so quick to dismiss it. The team leader and I are like good brothers. I think I have the most authority to speak on this, and I'm definitely not wrong."
anwhile, in Ningjiang County, at a private dining restaurant.
"Oh my, you two hardly see each other all year, and this is a rare visit to as well."
"This al's on . Order anything you like."
Tang Cuifang smiled warmly at Luo Fei and Yang i.
She loved this couple like they were her own son and daughter-in-law.
Knowing they seldom see each other due to work transfers, she was naturally delighted to have them eating at her place and busily went off to make arrangents.
Watching her back as she left, Luo Fei shook his head with a smile.
"Aunt Tang's enthusiasm hasn't waned at all. I haven't eaten here in a while; it's good to co back for a treat."
"And you say you haven't? Aunt Tang's invited to als nurous tis, even asking to bring you along, but you were too busy with work in the city for to go alone and disappoint her."
Yang i playfully reproached him but quickly smiled.
"But it's good you're back. I'm free these days and can keep you company for a proper rest."
Since the beginning of the year, Luo Fei hadn't rested.
Starting with the wax museum case, he was constantly solving cases, from the big explosion case to the recent murder case of a college girl. Luo Fei had led to their resolutions each ti.
This made Yang i very proud; her notoriety at the office wasn't small either, being the girlfriend of the fad city detective Luo Fei.
In Jiangzhou City, with Luo Fei at the helm, the case-solving rate was exceedingly high.
This had beco a consensus among many police officers, with so even wanting to et this renowned figure.
"Isn't it tiring lately? Just rest well if you're tired; I'm here for you."
As Yang i spoke, she took Luo Fei's hand, and feeling the coolness of his palm, Luo Fei felt his heart calm.
The recent cases he dealt with were quite complex.
Whether dealing with Song Yusheng at the wax museum, confronting Han Xiao on the rooftop because of the explosion case, or strategizing against Xue Zhiwen, they all significantly increased his stress.
The offenders in these cases were quite skilled and powerful.
Although he had excellent skills and could resolve issues regardless of complexity, it didn't an the pressure did not exist.
Nonetheless, as a police officer, he had to bear this pressure.
Nevertheless, Yang i's words were undoubtedly comforting, a rare understanding.
"Here, the latest dishes, house specialties. Enjoy without disturbing you."
Tang Cuifang brought the dishes up, settled them, and hurried off to her tasks.
The al was thoroughly enjoyable—not just for being with Yang i, but also for the long-missed flavors.
Since leaving Ningjiang County and living in the city, Luo Fei seldom returned, let alone visited private dining spots.
Today's al also satisfied his long-held gastronomical cravings.
After eating, as they prepared to stroll around, Yang i received a call from her office.
"Luo Fei, the bureau wants to deliver sothing. The report is in my car. What about you?"
"I'll go back with you."
"I haven't been back in a while; let's check on everyone."
"Hmm, all right."
So Yang i drove back with Luo Fei.
Outside Ningjiang County Public Security Bureau.
Wang Lei and Yang Su, along with several officers, were seriously escorting a sturdy man inside.
This guy committed a murder outside a county mall, hacking a young couple to death.
Reportedly, an attempted robbery led to a conflict, and he brutally killed them in a knife attack, fleeing afterward for half a month before finally being apprehended.
"This guy is really fierce. Just now he nearly wore out, skilled in both combat and escape," Yang Su laughed wryly.
"Don't feign humility—the senior cops here nearly made a vow, and yet you cracked the case. The glory alone is worth your boasting," Wang Lei laughed heartily.
"Talking about it doesn't make brag. It's thanks to my ti with Luo Fei back then."
"Even just scratching the surface with Luo Fei's skills is enough to deal with these guys. Alas, there's been no word from him; I wonder how he's faring in the city."
"What's troubling your mind all day?"
Yang Su mocked.
"Luo Fei is a force in the city, not just within Taian Province. He's engaged in multiple interprovincial operations—that's really impressive."
"What? How didn't I know?"
Wang Lei looked incredulous.
"Besides worrying about your bonus and cases, what else crosses your mind? Never mind, I'll spare you the talk."
"You're as focused on money as ever. If Luo Fei saw you like this again, this would be amusing to watch."
They laughed, completely oblivious to the increasingly fierce gaze of the sturdy man.
In an instant when they weren't paying attention, he launched two faint-shadowed powerful punches from both sides.
Bang, bang—
With two dull thuds, Wang Lei and Yang Su were unable to fend off the surprise attack and fell to the ground.
The sturdy man unleashed heavy kicks on their stomachs, rendering them temporarily incapacitated.
The gate guard realized sothing was wrong, grabbing a baton and rushing out.
Seeing he was targeted, the sturdy man didn't want to waste ti and ran towards the gate.
In his view, as long as they didn't draw their guns and shoot in ti, his chances of escape were high.
Just then, no other officers were around. Only Wang Lei and Yang Su were escorting him, and they were already down. All he needed to do was rush out and hijack a car.
Upon exiting the police station, he was unexpectedly greeted by a parked high-end Land Rover.
"Hahaha, damn, I'm outta here!"
Excitedly, he rushed to the car door, flung it open, and reached for the woman in the driver's seat.
Just as he was about to touch her, a powerful force clamped onto him and flung him away.
At that mont, he felt heavily struck by an imnse power.
