Finally, Xiao Feng also succumbed to the great enigma of "Who is Jingjing?".

This failure, however, made Xiao Feng more aware that one must never be careless at any ti!

Just like a mont ago, he thought he had managed to fool the little girl, but she turned around and started calling Du Qingyue.

Thinking of this, Xiao Feng turned his gaze to Mu Shihan, who looked smug, and said in a deep voice, "I didn't expect you to be the undercover agent lurking by my side."

"Hmph!" Mu Shihan retorted, "Who told you to speak nonsense? I was just giving you a little lesson."

"But you knew I was just joking." Xiao Feng said dissatisfied.

Mu Shihan's expression turned unusually serious: "So things shouldn't be said lightly, especially to girls who are already quite sensitive. Think about it, if there really were a girl nad Jingjing here who secretly liked you, how big of a misunderstanding would your words cause?"

"That girl who secretly admires you, Jingjing, would be so happy to hear you say that she's the one you care about the most. But how upset would she be once she realized you were joking?"

Xiao Feng was touched by her words and took a while before he said, "Where did you learn all these principles?"

"Doesn't matter where I learned them, they're definitely right." Mu Shihan said earnestly, "I just want to tell you that so things really shouldn't be said lightly."

Xiao Feng had so sense of guilt but, to maintain his elder brother's authority, he argued, "Even if you're right, you don't have to say it as if it's true. Where is this girl nad Jingjing secretly admiring anyway?"

"Well, you never know." Mu Shihan rebutted, "Since it's a secret love, you wouldn't know, would you? If you knew, how would it be a secret love?"

Just as she finished speaking, there was a knock on the door, and then a short-haired police officer in uniform walked in, greeting, "Consultant Xiao, hello. I'm the newly transferred officer, Hao Wenjing, you can call Jingjing."

This is insane!

"..." Xiao Feng looked at Mu Shihan in shock, while Mu Shihan was also in a state of disbelief, wondering how, while they were talking about it, there was actually a Jingjing?

"Consultant Xiao?" Hao Wenjing frowned, not understanding why Xiao Feng and Mu Shihan reacted like that upon seeing her.

Xiao Feng snapped back to reality, touched his nose, and asked a bit awkwardly, "Is there sothing you need?"

"Oh, I'm here to inform you that Director Song wants you to et her at the breakfast shop across the street." After explaining her purpose, Hao Wenjing took her leave.

Mu Shihan opened her mouth, wanting to ask this Jingjing if she had a crush on Xiao Feng, but after thinking about it, she felt it was too presumptuous and didn't dare to ask.

Xiao Feng called out to Mu Shihan and then got up to leave, but he couldn't help feeling puzzled about why Song Keren insisted on having him speak outside?

Once at the breakfast shop, Xiao Feng imdiately spotted Song Keren and Shi Jiaxin sitting in a corner. After taking a seat, he casually ordered a few fried dough sticks and a cup of soy milk, then asked, "Why do we have to talk here?"

"How do you know I have sothing to tell you and not just inviting you for breakfast?" Song Keren asked with great interest, seemingly in a good mood.

"Co on now, you're usually so stingy, would you really be this generous?" Xiao Feng said, full of doubt, "So, you must have sothing to say."

Song Keren almost slamd the table, angrily saying, "Fine, I'm stingy, huh? Then don't ask for reimbursent of your travel expenses in the future!"

Her initially good mood got ruined instantly by Xiao Feng's words.

"Keren is the most generous! Just yesterday she gave a big teddy bear!" Mu Shihan interjected righteously.

"Is that true?" Xiao Feng looked incredulous, "How co I didn't know about it?"

Song Keren snorted coldly, "There are lots of things you don't know!"

At the sa ti, she glanced at Mu Shihan with an "I didn't spoil you for nothing" kind of look.

"Enough idle chatter, I called you here to tell you we've made a breakthrough in the Miao Youmin case." Song Keren lowered her voice and said, "With the information we have now, Miao Youmin has been amassing wealth aggressively in the last five years."

Shi Jiaxin added, "Aside from the big projects..."

"Wait!" Xiao Feng interrupted, "Though I don't know much, this doesn't fall under his jurisdiction, right?"

"Can you let finish?" Shi Jiaxin rolled her eyes and explained, "Miao Youmin indeed doesn't have the authority to manage this, but road construction needs people and materials, right? The problem is here—over the years, the companies responsible for road construction and material supply are either Miao Youmin's relatives or closely connected to him. Could this be a coincidence?"

Xiao Feng nodded, "So it seems, Miao Youmin's reach is quite extensive."

"Exactly, this might end up in a major cri if nothing goes wrong." Song Keren said excitedly, "The five years Miao Youmin spent in Jiangcheng coincided with its rapid developnt phase, with various policy supports and fund inflows adding up to an astronomical figure!"

No wonder Song Keren was excited, as uncovering this would be enough to make her renowned just for the rit alone.

What's more important is that such an achievent would give her so voice within her family, which is extrely important!

"Since you have solid evidence, why not arrest Miao Youmin first?" Xiao Feng asked.

Song Keren answered, "Of course, it's to let the net draw in bigger fish. Although we have evidence of his cris, it's just the tip of the iceberg. The whereabouts of his other illegal assets are still unknown. So, I plan to have soone monitor him, and once he slips up, we'll hit him hard!"

Xiao Feng was noncommittal, "I still think it's better to control him first, lest we lose the bait without catching the big fish."

"Can't you say sothing nice?" Song Keren complained, "Can you please wish well?"

Xiao Feng pondered for a mont and said, "There's a saying that honest words are hard to hear, but sweet words often harm. I'm doing this for your good."

Song Keren truly didn't know what to say; she was genuinely impressed by Xiao Feng's ability to turn black into white, making groundless things seem slightly reasonable after his explanation.

After a quick breakfast, Xiao Feng slapped a ten-yuan bill on the table, "This one's on , don't be shy!"

Sitting at the table, Shi Jiaxin, Song Keren, and Mu Shihan were all at a loss for words. It was just a few-dollar breakfast, nothing to brag about. Judging by his deanor, anyone who didn't know might think he'd treated us to abalone and lobster.

Upon returning to the police station, everyone was stunned to see the transford Lin Jiaxuan.

With her rosy lips, white teeth, fair skin, and two long pigtails, she was truly a budding beauty.

Wang Yanmin nodded in satisfaction, "Not bad, not bad, the clothes fit you well. You can keep them."
