Captain Lu was aloof again today.

Chapter 123 Good Guys
Yan Jiqian was arrogant and self-willed. He never took Wei Qingsong seriously, considering her an ant that could be crushed at any time. He would not do anything that would lower his own status.

Wei Qingsong also found it strange. Who could be secretly investigating her, and what was their purpose?
I thought about it for a long time, but I still couldn't come to a conclusion.

Even after returning home, Wei Qingsong still couldn't figure it out.

A phone call interrupted her thoughts. She put her wine glass on the counter, glanced at the caller ID, and then answered the call.

"Good evening, Afu. What's up so late?" Wei Qingsong asked softly.

"Songsong, I've got the shop you asked me to find sorted out. I'll send you the owner's contact information in a bit. You can handle the rest yourself. I don't understand those complicated contracts anyway." Shen Fu's cheerful voice came through the receiver.

Wei Qingsong suddenly remembered the favor she had asked Shen Fu for. She had been so busy these past few days that she would have almost forgotten about it if it weren't for this phone call.

She patted her forehead and immediately thanked him, "Thank you so much. I have the day off tomorrow, so I must treat you to dinner tonight. We've made plans for this so many times, so you have to do me this time."

Shen Fu clicked her tongue twice on the other end of the phone: "I've heard about it all. Last time you went to a Western restaurant with Captain Lu, you happened to stumble upon a murder case. I don't know which of you two has this death-dealing physique. I'm terrified."

Wei Qingsong remained calm and composed: "That definitely isn't me, it must be Lu Jingming. Look at him, he's usually like a cold-faced demon, even Death would feel a sense of familiarity with him."

Shen Fu grumbled for a while, but finally gave in: "Fine, then I'll risk my life to keep you company. This is a life-or-death appointment with you, so we're practically friends now, right?"

"Yes, yes, whatever you say." Wei Qingsong couldn't help but chuckle.

After thinking for a long time, Shen Fu finally voiced her concerns: "Songsong, you finally have a day off tomorrow, but I took up your dinner time. If Captain Lu finds out, will he come to my door with a forty-meter-long sword and try to kill me?"

So that's why Shen Fu kept making excuses.

Wei Qingsong almost burst out laughing. After a moment, she said quietly, "Don't worry, I'll be with Lu Jingming all afternoon tomorrow."

"I see." Shen Fu breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. It seems my personal safety is now guaranteed. See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, Wei Qingsong glanced at the time, thought for a moment, and decided to call Sun's mother.

After all, I have a whole day of plans for tomorrow, and if any unexpected situations arise later, I might forget about this matter again, so it's best to resolve it as soon as possible.

After the call was connected, Wei Qingsong immediately introduced herself: "Aunt Sun, this is Wei Qingsong. Do you remember me?"

"It's Officer Wei! We remember you! You caught the murderer who killed my son, and my wife and I haven't even had a chance to properly thank you."

Sun's mother didn't know what a criminal psychology consultant was. Because Wei Qingsong worked with the criminal police team, she called Wei Qingsong "Officer".

"It's alright." Wei Qingsong's expression softened a little. "There was a time crunch before, and you and Uncle Sun left in a hurry. There's something I haven't told you yet."

Sun's mother's heart jumped to her throat, and she asked cautiously, "What's wrong? Officer Wei, is something the matter?"

“Don’t be nervous. It’s like this: you and Uncle Sun are getting old, and you’re starting to have less energy to do farm work. So I was thinking of getting you two a shop in town so you won’t have to work so hard in the future.” Wei Qingsong explained his plan to Sun’s mother in a few words.

Sun's mother naturally declined repeatedly: "How could that be! You booked a hotel for us last time, and we haven't even paid you back yet. How could we trouble you again!"

"Please don't stand on ceremony with me," Wei Qingsong said earnestly. "Right now, it's just the two of you at home. If anything happens to you, the rest of your lives will be ruined. Sun Hao is a filial son. He works hard to earn money, but he only keeps half for himself. He wants you to have an easier life and doesn't want you to continue to work so hard."

Mentioning Sun Hao, Sun's mother sighed heavily, remained silent for a moment, and then hesitated before saying, "We can't spend your money anymore. We appreciate your kindness, but we really can't accept the gifts!"

"You don't need to feel guilty at all. This small token of my appreciation is entirely within my means. To be honest, the total cost of taking over this shop is less than a fraction of my monthly allowance. It's really nothing."

It wasn't that Wei Qingsong was intentionally showing off; only by finding a different approach could he alleviate the psychological burden on Sun's mother.

Moreover, the Lanson Group has always been committed to poverty alleviation, and the amount of money she contributed is negligible compared to Wei Sihua's annual donations to mountainous areas.

She was fulfilling Wei Sihua's wish in her own way, of course, using Wei Sihua's money.

Rounding it off, let's just say it's an act of kindness and good deeds done for Wei Sihua.

Even if Wei Sihua found out, I believe he would strongly support her decision; he is a kind and good person.

Being adopted by the Wei family was the greatest blessing of her life.

Both Yan Zhi and Yan Yun have antisocial personality tendencies to some extent. Yan Jiqian himself is also a hypocrite. Coupled with the mess in their family, Wei Qingsong can conclude that the antisocial tendencies of the Yan family are genetically determined.

She has been raised to adulthood without ever going astray or taking shortcuts, all thanks to Wei Sihua's teachings and example.

Sun's mother was initially hesitant and unwilling to accept it, but Wei Qingsong was eloquent and eventually persuaded her.

On the phone, Sun's mother thanked her profusely: "Officer Wei, you are truly our family's benefactor and lucky star. You are such a good person!"

Wei Qingsong smiled slightly: "It was nothing, please don't worry about it. I will have someone make the trip later. You can also save my phone number and call me anytime if you have any questions."

Sun's mother's voice was trembling with tears: "Thank you... thank you so much."

Wei Qingsong gave some more instructions before hanging up the phone.

The moon is bright and the stars are few outside the window; the night breeze is cool as water.

The entire city was shrouded in a hazy moonlight, like a piece of pure white, warm, and lustrous jade.

The neon lights were colorful and flashed continuously. In the distance, the overpass was bustling with traffic. Right next to the building, the clear sound of car horns could be heard.

In this city, everyone has their own wonderful life.

Some people worry about making a living and having enough to eat, while others indulge in a life of luxury and want to say something but remain silent.

Some people will stop at nothing to gain fame and fortune, while others will sacrifice their lives for justice.
Some people go astray, while others stick to the right path;

Some people follow the trend, while others create it.

There are good people and bad people.

Being a good person may not be easy, but it is very joyful.

It's a wonderful feeling to be able to do your part, however small, to genuinely help others solve their problems.
