After returning to the bureau, Song Keren imdiately held a full eting to discuss who was the mastermind behind this incident.
The eting was quite large, and aside from Miao Youmin who had taken leave in advance, almost all the key leaders and main staff of the bureau were gathered.
Of course, Xiao Feng was also invited, but he did not attend. Instead, he was supervising Shi Jiaxin's training.
"You seem a bit distracted." Xiao Feng said leisurely as he sipped his tea, looking at the sweaty Shi Jiaxin.
Shi Jiaxin bit her pink lips slightly, unable to speak for quite so ti, while inwardly grumbling, it's all because of your ridiculous reward and punishnt system.
Completing the training plan ans you get a kiss from him, failing it ans you have to give him money. What kind of reward and punishnt system is that? Whether it's a reward or punishnt, I don't seem to benefit either way.
Xiao Feng glanced at the clock on the table: "If you can't keep it up, just stop now. It's exactly half an hour left, so based on a thousand per minute, I'd only fine you thirty thousand."
Shi Jiaxin gritted her teeth fiercely: "Who's backing down? It's just half an hour, watch !"
Now it was Xiao Feng's turn to be taken aback. Logically, this ti was about the limit for her to persist.
But unbeknownst to him, if he hadn't used such provocation, Shi Jiaxin really couldn't have continued. But after he spoke, Shi Jiaxin's stubbornness kicked in, and she gritted her teeth to endure the thirty minutes.
"Why don't you think it over? It only takes thirty thousand to make you instantly relaxed, quite a bargain." Xiao Feng advised.
Shi Jiaxin forced out several words through her clenched teeth: "Don't talk to !"
As ti passed second by second, Shi Jiaxin actually managed to persist, not relying on her physique anymore, but sheer willpower.
"Ding!"
The alarm clock sounded crisply, signaling that the training ti was over.
Shi Jiaxin staggered and leaned against the sofa, feeling extre soreness engulfing her, almost bringing her to tears.
At this mont, Xiao Feng ca over: "Congratulations on completing the training plan. Now get ready for your reward."
"Re... reward?" Shi Jiaxin's eyes widened, only then rembering what the reward was supposed to be.
"No, no need, I don't need a reward." Shi Jiaxin looked sowhat panicked as Xiao Feng slowly approached, trying to push herself back but her arms were too weak, and she collapsed onto the sofa.
Xiao Feng chuckled: "My biggest advantage is keeping my word. Since I promised to reward you, I must honor it."
"It's really not necessary!" Shi Jiaxin was on the verge of tears; she had truly put herself in a bind.
Xiao Feng squatted down, his gaze falling onto the couch where Shi Jiaxin lay flushed, like a startled bunny, his eyes filled with amusent.
After failing to stand up several tis, Shi Jiaxin settled down, quietly staring at Xiao Feng, whose angular features filled her vision.
But what attracted her most were those deep eyes, looking as if containing the vast universe, countless stars condensed into a river, infinitely magnificent!
Gradually, Shi Jiaxin felt irresistibly drawn in, unable to look away no matter what!
"Have you ever taught anyone how to use a knife before?" After a long while, Shi Jiaxin asked softly.
Xiao Feng shook his head with a smile: "Soone did ask to learn from , but I refused."
"Why?" Shi Jiaxin pursued, her heart unconsciously racing.
Xiao Feng replied without thinking: "Because they wanted to learn for free, without any sincerity, unlike you who showed genuine sincerity from the start."
Shi Jiaxin was stunned, her previous fantasies turning to dust. It took a while before she reacted: "By sincerity, do you actually an they didn't pay?"
"Smart!" Xiao Feng praised.
"Then why don't you just ask for it straight away?" Shi Jiaxin said with a face black as thunder.
Xiao Feng thought for a mont and replied, "I happen to be soone with a thin face; if they don't offer, I'm too embarrassed to ask actively."
"..." Shi Jiaxin was already too exhausted to retort. With such words, your skin is thicker than a city wall, isn't it?
At this mont, Shi Jiaxin suddenly felt that if Xiao Feng's face could be considered thin, there wouldn't be anyone thick-skinned in this world!
Just then, Song Keren walked in with a troubled expression, and Shi Jiaxin instantly wanted to escape, knowing even though Song Keren wasn't in a romantic relationship with Xiao Feng, the previous rumors still lingered.
As she thought of the kiss from Xiao Feng just now, the blush that had receded resurfaced again.
"The eting's result is no result, isn't it?" Xiao Feng took a sip of tea, seemingly having guessed the outco beforehand.
Song Keren nodded helplessly: "The main suspects now are three: first is Shen Tianze behind Fang Ji Qiang, second is Zhao Chen, third is Duan Guotai."
Xiao Feng nodded unsurprisingly: "Because all three have ample motivation to kill ."
In fact, this was the reason Xiao Feng did not attend the eting, knowing that even Miao Youmin couldn't openly be suspected, discussing would only be a waste of ti, leading nowhere.
But considering this, Xiao Feng suddenly wondered if it was done by people associated with Lin Jiaxuan, aiming to further dispel suspicion about her?
This speculation wasn't impossible, because at that ti, Lin Jiaxuan was with Xiao Feng, and nobody would suspect soone sharing the sa peril, especially when Lin Jiaxuan appeared to be just a ten-year-old girl.
"I'm going to hold a small eting next, want to join?" Song Keren asked.
"Of course!" Xiao Feng nodded, knowing the truly valuable discussions occur in small etings after the big one.
Song Keren called Wang Qiang to gather the people into the office. Just after hanging up, Xiao Feng suddenly said, "Today when Miao Yueqian asked for my contact info, does she have any relation to Miao Youmin?"
"You have a good mory, rembered Miao Yueqian's na after she ntioned it once." Song Keren said in an odd tone but replied, "I don't know her much, haven't heard of any relation between her and Miao Youmin."
Soon, Wang Qiang brought a group of people in, all individuals Song Keren had observed not to belong to Miao Youmin's side.
"Everyone, discuss each of your situations." Song Keren asked after inviting everyone to sit.
A bespectacled male officer stood up and said, "As per your request, I've arranged for two key personnel to observe across from Miao Youmin's ho, and the latest update is, after taking leave, Miao Youmin hasn't been seen leaving, only going out to sit in the garden and drink tea."
Song Keren nodded, but that didn't explain much. With today's technological advancent, one can remotely do many things without stepping out.
Especially since Miao Youmin had been in the police force for over two decades, avoiding mobile surveillance and other investigative thods would be effortless for him.
