It caught Guan Songhu completely off guard.
Even more surprising was that this ti even Old Han sided with Luo Fei.
"Director Guan, I think Luo Fei is right. Every police officer starts from the ground up. We should have more confidence in the young people."
"Think about it from another angle. If Su Jianfan accomplishes sothing, wouldn't we also hold our heads high? Maybe Old Zheng will even reward you."
Guan Songhu, however, just sneered.
"Reward ? If you thought your son was incapable, but your subordinate helped him succeed, wouldn't you feel like you got slapped in the face?"
Guan Songhu's words left Han Tiesheng speechless.
Indeed, reaching the position of Director Zheng.
Reputation and face are incredibly important.
The saying "a flood of criticism can drown a person" is no joke.
"So you two, don't talk about rewards. If Old Zheng doesn't give trouble, I'll be thanking the heavens!"
"Brother Fei! Old Han, co quickly!"
Just as Guan Songhu was brooding.
A shout from Su Jianfan ca from outside.
Realizing he might be in danger.
Guan Songhu couldn't worry about anything else and quickly left the villa.
"Director Guan, look!"
Following Su Jianfan's pointing finger.
On Old Han's police car windshield was a bouquet of flowers, next to it a box of an eighteen-inch two-tier cake, with a pink ribbon tied into a cute bow on the box.
"The card on it says, 'Happy Birthday Su Fangfang?'"
Luo Fei, with good eyesight, imdiately saw the ssage on the cake's card.
Curiously, Han Tiesheng asked Officer Lin.
"Captain Lin, did you buy that cake for Su Fangfang?"
"No, Fangfang's birthday is next month."
Although Lin Qingshan said so.
He still felt a bit uneasy inside.
Because Su Fangfang was an orphan.
She didn't even know her own birthday.
So they just used the adoption date by Lin Qingshan as her birthday.
Symbolizing a new start in life.
"Could it be a cake from Fangfang's biological parents?"
Tang Shiyu spoke, with her beautiful eyes full of doubt.
Luo Fei, however, was more cautious.
First, he got a broom from the house.
Only then did he say to the others.
"You all go inside first. If there's an explosion, be sure to stay low."
What Luo Fei said made Su Fangfang worried too.
"Big brother, is there a bomb in this cake?"
Luo Fei didn't know either.
But better safe than sorry!
"3, 2, 1!"
As he counted 1.
Everyone almost crouched down.
Han Tiesheng was the most dramatic, lying flat on the sofa.
But after several seconds passed.
The cake box just fell to the ground, with nothing happening.
"Could we have been mistaken?"
Though Han Tiesheng slightly relaxed.
Luo Fei reminded.
"Even though we're not sure, we can't let our guard down. No one knows if the cake is poisoned."
"For safety's sake, we should have the cake tested in a lab."
Luo Fei's reminder made everyone hold their breath imdiately.
"So we won't be eating this cake, right?"
Su Fangfang suggested sensibly.
Luo Fei nodded and said.
"Right, we can test it later in the lab. If it's fine, Miss Tang can get you a new one."
??
Tang Shiyu didn't expect Luo Fei to break the cake.
But unexpectedly she needed to compensate Su Fangfang.
"Miss Tang, you ntioned last night that you were going to start a charity foundation. And you want to help Su Fangfang return to school. This is a great opportunity to make a good impression."
With Luo Fei's reminder.
Tang Shiyu finally understood.
Luo Fei said that on purpose.
So that she could get closer to Su Fangfang.
So she had to agree.
"Alright then, I'll do as Officer Luo says. Regardless if the cake is poisoned or not, I'll buy a new one for Fangfang."
But hearing Tang Shiyu's proposal.
Su Fangfang felt sowhat embarrassed.
"Sister Tang, wouldn't that be too much? We already stayed at your place last night, and you've helped us a lot."
"It's alright, Fangfang, I felt like you were my little sister at first sight. Also, I'm by myself now. If you're willing to be my sister, I'd be delighted."
Tang Shiyu's words.
Filled Su Fangfang's heart with excitent.
"Thank you, Sister Tang."
"Let's go, get in the car, and I'll take you ho first."
As Tang Shiyu spoke, she naturally took Su Fangfang's hand, and the other party didn't refuse.
Watching the two quickly beco close.
Lin Qingshan felt sowhat lancholic.
"It's the first ti I've seen Su Fangfang so happy in a long ti."
Lin Qingshan spoke, holding back unspoken words.
Luo Fei said.
"Officer Lin, it's good for Su Fangfang to make more friends, you should be happy for her."
"Yes, you're right."
But what really troubled Lin Qingshan wasn't that Su Fangfang and Tang Shiyu beca close like sisters.
But that cake.
"If the cake isn't poisoned, then who sent it?"
Seeing his dilemma.
Luo Fei smiled slightly to remind.
"Captain Lin, isn't it easy to guess the answer?"
"Officer Luo, do you have an idea of who it might be?"
Luo Fei smiled without confirming.
"Do you rember what Su Fangfang said about how she got here yesterday?"
Only then did Lin Qingshan recall.
Su Fangfang said she ca by a truck.
"Even if soone was delivering goods, they wouldn't pass by this remote Lotus Manor. It's far from the freeway and highways."
"Let alone ordinary truck drivers, they wouldn't detour for an unknown girl, risking their schedule unless... they knew Su Fangfang already."
Luo Fei's deduction alard Lin Qingshan.
Because if soone knew Su Fangfang but wouldn't show themselves.
It's likely they're from Wang Chuan's side.
"No matter what, I will never let Su Fangfang get hurt. And no one will touch a hair on her head!"
Seeing Lin Qingshan's full alert.
With resolute determination.
Luo Fei smiled slightly.
"Captain Lin, he might not be a bad person; he might be the sa one who sneaked into Miss Tang's company disguised as a repairman."
Luo Fei had a rough idea now.
But he didn't voice it.
Because his theory hadn't been fully verified yet.
He needed to gather enough evidence to confirm his guess.
After a while.
Luo Fei and his party got into two cars.
Luo Fei, Guan Songhu, and Tang Shiyu in the front car.
Old Han, Su Jianfan, and Lin Qingshan with his daughter in the back.
But passing through an old district of red-brick houses.
Tang Shiyu's beautiful eyes suddenly hesitated.
"Miss Tang, I briefly reviewed the material on the developnts your father previously undertook. Wasn't this old district supposed to be the site for a new developnt he was to manage, relocating the residents?"
Luo Fei's reminder startled Tang Shiyu.
"Yes, he was supposed to oversee this project. But his health was poor at the ti, making it impossible to fully manage the project. That's why the relocation here was long delayed."
Tang Shiyu spoke, her beautiful eyes dimming.
Luo Fei offered comfort.
"It's understandable, these houses are fifty or sixty years old, clearly old-style bricks."
"And there are so stubborn holdouts among them."
"If your father forced relocation, it would probably provoke dissatisfaction from so people, wouldn't it?"
Luo Fei's reassurance brought so relief to Tang Shiyu.
"Thank you, Officer Luo."
But at this mont.
Deng Wen suddenly hit the brakes hard.
Luckily, everyone was wearing seat belts.
So they only jerked forward slightly.
"Brother Fei, Miss Tang, are you okay?"
Deng Wen quickly checked on the two in the backseat.
While Luo Fei protected Tang Shiyu, he noticed.
A drunkard was slowly crossing the road ahead.
If not for Deng Wen's sudden brake.
He might have been hit.
"Why is soone drunk so early? Could he be here to extort money?"
