In fact, Liang Wuyun was always worried about Su Ning, who was away on fieldwork, which perfectly illustrates the hypocrisy of women.

I was already quite interested in this bad boy when we were in police academy, but a year later, I found that Su Ning's temperament had changed even more—he was even more wicked, and even more charming.

After being teased by Suning during their last field trip together, Liang Wuyun, this good girl, couldn't stop thinking about Suning.

Inside the criminal investigation team's training hall, Liang Wuyun punched the sandbag again and again, sweat dripping from her short hair onto the training mat.

Each strike was accompanied by inexplicable frustration, and the sandbag swayed more and more violently.

"Captain Liang, what's wrong with the sandbags?"

A familiar voice came from behind her. Liang Wuyun paused, but did not turn around. However, the tips of her ears were already slightly red.

She continued hitting, feigning composure: "Get to the point if you have something to say, otherwise don't bother me during training."

Su Ning leaned against the door frame, twirling his police cap in his hand: "Can't I come to see my old classmate if there's nothing wrong?"

“Who’s your classmate?” Liang Wuyun finally turned around, wiping her sweat with a towel. “You’re Qin’s favorite now; we junior officers can’t possibly be on your level.”

She regretted the words as soon as they left her mouth.

That tone is just like a sulking girlfriend.

Sure enough, Su Ning's lips curled into that wicked smile that she both loved and hated.

"Captain Liang, are you complaining that I didn't treat you to dinner?" Su Ning took a few steps closer. "How about tonight..."

"I'm busy!" Liang Wuyun interrupted him, but her heart was racing uncontrollably.

The carefree Jian Fan from his police academy days was already a headache enough, but now he possesses an inexplicable and dangerous charm, like a blade in the night, someone you know is dangerous but can't help but want to touch.

Su Ning shrugged: "Never mind then! I was originally going to ask about the clues in the hotel robbery case."

"Wait!" Liang Wuyun called out to Su Ning, who was turning to leave. "You're involved in this case?"

"I was just transferred." Su Ning turned around, sunlight streaming in through the window, casting dappled shadows on his sharply defined profile. "I thought Captain Liang was in charge of the case, so I came to learn from him."

Liang Wuyun bit her lower lip.

She knew this rascal was doing it on purpose, but she still couldn't resist taking the bait: "The documents are in my office. Tonight... tonight at seven o'clock, no exceptions."

"Yes, sir." Su Ning gave a comical salute, and before leaving, he turned back and added, "Don't push yourself too hard in training, your sweat-soaked uniform is quite see-through."

Liang Wuyun looked down and was immediately filled with shame and anger. She grabbed a towel and threw it at the closed door: "Jian Fan! You bastard!"

Outside the door, Su Ning picked up the towel and smiled gently.

According to the few memories left to him by "Jian Fan", he noticed that this stubborn girl always secretly looked at him during his time at the police academy.

Now, a year later, her thoughts are still so easy to see through.

……

In the martial arts training hall, Captain Qin gave Su Ning a stern lecture, criticizing him for some mistakes he had made during the operation.

"Too reckless!" On the other side of the training hall, Captain Qin pointed at the tactics board and criticized, "You're just going to pounce on an armed assailant? Do you think you're Superman?"

Su Ning stood at attention, but inwardly he was unconvinced.

This actually made Su Ning feel very dissatisfied. He was quite satisfied with the operation, but he didn't argue with Captain Qin.

With his reaction speed, an ordinary criminal wouldn't even have time to pull the trigger.

But this is obviously something that cannot be said.

At this moment, Captain Qin noticed his dissatisfaction and thought that he should challenge him to a duel in order to give him a chance to vent his frustration.

"Not convinced?" Captain Qin saw through his thoughts and tossed him a pair of boxing gloves. "Come on, let's have a fight. The loser has to write a three-thousand-word self-criticism!"

Su Ning put on his boxing gloves and flexed his wrists: "Captain Qin, are you sure?"

"Cut the nonsense!"

Three minutes later, Captain Qin's forehead was covered in a fine layer of sweat.

He had used all his strength, but he couldn't even touch the hem of Su Ning's clothes.

The opponent is like a slippery fish; every time it seems about to strike, it always manages to cleverly dodge at the last moment.

"Seriously!" Captain Qin said angrily.

"Yes!" Su Ning suddenly changed tactics, unleashing a beautiful combination of punches that forced Captain Qin to retreat repeatedly, finally ending with a sweeping kick.

Of course, he pulled back his strength at the very moment he was about to kick.

Captain Qin, panting heavily, exclaimed with surprise, "Wow! How come you didn't win a prize in the police academy's combat competition with this level of skill?"

"So-so, third best in the world." Su Ning took off his boxing gloves and grinned.

"What a scoundrel!" Captain Qin laughed and cursed as he punched him, but was secretly shocked.

That combo was something even a professional fighter from the provincial Sanda team might not be able to handle.

This kid's been hiding his true colors well!
"Captain Qin, remember to come find me if you ever want to get knocked out." Su Ning winked. "Opportunities to publicly challenge a team captain are rare."

"I..." Captain Qin was about to lash out when his phone suddenly rang.

After hanging up the phone, his expression turned serious: "There's a new development in the hotel robbery case; the number of victims has increased to seven. The department has decided to set up a special task force, and you've been assigned to it."

Suning's joking expression vanished: "When does it start?"

"Now," Captain Qin gave him a deep look, "the time has come to prove your strength. Don't let me down."

"clear."

……

At the Blue Coast Cafe, Jiang Dijia, dressed in a red dress, stood out in the crowd.

When she saw Su Ning come in, she smiled and waved, but noticed that the other person's expression was not very good.

"What's wrong? Who made Officer Jian angry?" she asked, half-jokingly.

Suning cut straight to the point: "I heard 'Thin as a Wing' is coming to supermarkets?"

“That’s right!” Jiang Dijia excitedly opened her tablet. “Look, these are the sales figures. It reached the top of the prepared food category in just two weeks! The board of directors has decided to increase investment and cover chain supermarkets throughout the province next month.”

The graph on the tablet was indeed beautiful, but Suning's expression grew increasingly cold: "How many times have I warned you that this formula is not suitable for mass production!"

“Jian Fan,” Jiang Dijia sighed helplessly, “you’re really overthinking it. We’ve added food-grade preservatives, extending the shelf life to thirty days, and consumer feedback has been excellent.”

"Thirty days?" Su Ning sneered. "Bitter substances will start to appear after three days, the taste will be completely gone after seven days, and after fifteen days..."

He suddenly stopped. "Forget it, you wouldn't believe me anyway."

Jiang Dijia took a check out of her bag and pushed it over: "This is the first installment, two hundred thousand. My brother said..."

"Take it back." Su Ning didn't even glance at the check. "I'm not warning you for the money."

Jiang Dijia's face changed: "Jian Fan! Can't you be happy for me? I've been working overtime for two weeks straight to promote this product, and now it's finally finally..."

"Happy?" Suning interrupted her, "Just wait and see the consumer complaints explode. Don't come crying to me then."

"You!" Jiang Dijia's eyes reddened with anger. "You're such a loser! I kindly gave you money, and you end up complaining about me!"

"The criminal investigation team has other matters to attend to, so we'll be leaving now." Su Ning stood up, paused, and added, "I'll say it one last time: you siblings have become so greedy that you've lost your minds."

"..."

Stepping out of the coffee shop, Suning took a deep breath.

He could have explained the chemical reactions in the formula in more detail, but the arrogance of the Chiang family made him give up his last effort.

Since they won't listen to advice, let reality teach them a lesson.

……

In the Shangri-La restaurant, Xiangxiang nervously fiddled with her napkin.

Across from her, her mother was scrutinizing Su Ning, who had just arrived.

This time, Xiangxiang introduced her mother to Su Ning.

However, Xiangxiang's mother was a very pragmatic person. She wasn't interested in Xiangxiang and Suning's relationship, but instead went straight to the point and asked about Suning's financial situation.

She worried that her daughter would suffer if she married Su Ning, which made Su Ning, who was struggling financially, feel very embarrassed.

"Jian Fan, right? Xiangxiang told me you got a permanent position?" Xiangxiang's mother got straight to the point, "How much is your salary?"

"Mom!" Xiangxiang awkwardly stopped her.

“Four thousand two, plus subsidies, it’s around five thousand,” Su Ning replied calmly.

Xiangmu curled her lip: "With so little money, you can't even afford a toilet in the city."

She turned to her daughter, "Xiangxiang, your Aunt Wang introduced Dr. Zhang. He earns over 20,000 yuan a month and owns three houses..."

"Mom, I'm not with Su Ming for these things, and I'm really happy with him."

"Hmph! Can happiness put food on the table? And how long can happiness last? In the end, it still can't withstand reality, can it?"

“Auntie,” Su Ning suddenly spoke up, “you’re right, I really can’t give Xiangxiang the life she wants.”

Xiangxiang stared at him in shock: "Jian Fan, you..."

“The life of a police officer is irregular,” Su Ning continued, her voice eerily calm. “A single phone call means I have to be back at the station, and a single case might require months of stakeout. Xiangxiang deserves someone better.”

Xiangmu was speechless for a moment, not expecting him to be so decisive.

Xiangxiang's eyes reddened: "Jian Fan, what do you mean? You want to break up with me?"

Su Ning recalled the scene in the original novel where Jian Fan and Xiang Xiang broke up. Jian Fan had actually had a lover behind her back, and his material conditions were also rejected by the girl's parents. His self-esteem was hurt, and he was forced to break up with her.

Now that history is repeating itself, he feels a ridiculous sense of relief, while also avoiding the disgust of being forcibly insulted.

"I've already paid for today's bill." Su Ning stood up and gently placed her napkin down. "Xiangxiang, I wish you happiness."

Stepping out of the restaurant, a night breeze caressed my face.

Su Ning took out his phone and dialed Liang Wuyun's number: "Captain Liang, didn't we say we'd be reviewing the materials at seven? Is it convenient for me to come over now?"

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone: "...I'm in the office."

After hanging up the phone, Su Ning breathed a sigh of relief.

Some destinies cannot be forced, and some paths are destined to be lonely.

But at least he still has a police badge and a mission.

The office of the head of the criminal investigation team.

Su Ning sat there looking at the few documents, while Liang Wuyun kept stealing glances at him.

"Captain Liang, would you like to go out for a drink with me tonight?"

"Hmph! Police officers are not allowed to drink alcohol; that's an ironclad rule."

"Can't I even leave work?"

"What's wrong? Are you in a bad mood?"

I'm heartbroken.

"What? Is it that Xiangxiang?"

"you know?"

"Huh? Do I know what's so strange about that?"

"Captain Liang, make it quick! Are you going or not?"

"Alright! I'll just consider it risking my life to accompany the bad guy."

"..."

Su Ning was too lazy to pay attention to Liang Wuyun's sharp tongue; he figured he'd win over this two-faced woman sooner or later.

The city was still bustling at night, and Liang Wuyun, dressed in casual clothes, did not look as stunning as she did in her uniform.

"Jian Fan, why are you staring at me like that?"

"I think you look better in your uniform."

"Hmph! Being good-looking has nothing to do with you."

"Captain Liang, you're so beautiful, why don't you date?"

"Where would I find the time! Whether at the police academy or now in the criminal investigation team, I'm always very busy."

"Why don't you consider me?"

"Pah! Dream on! I have no interest in a good-for-nothing like you."

"Oh! I didn't expect you to still be so sharp-tongued. It's really heartbreaking."

"..." At this moment, Liang Wuyun used drinking to cover up her shyness.

Liang Wuyun was somewhat inclined to agree, but the thought of Su Ming's recent breakup made her feel incredibly nauseous.

"Jian Fan, didn't you just break up? Why are you in such a hurry to start a new relationship?"

"You don't understand! The best way to get over a failed relationship is to start a new one."

"Hmph! He really is a scumbag?"

"Then what should I do? Cry my heart out?"

"So you were the one who got kicked?"

"Or else?"

……

At the Blue Shield Shooting Club, Tang Shouyu once again "bumped into" Suning, who was practicing.

"Officer Jian, your marksmanship is getting better and better!" Tang Shouyu handed over a bottle of energy drink. "Are you free tonight? A few new Russian models have arrived at the Emperor Hotel..."

"Not interested." Su Ning didn't even look up and continued loading the ammunition.

Tang Shouyu persisted: "Then let's go to the hot spring resort? It's guaranteed to be clean and safe, just the two of us..."

"President Tang." Su Ning finally turned around, her eyes sharp as knives. "Does President Li know that you're being so enthusiastic towards me?"

Tang Shouyu's expression changed slightly: "Wh...what President Li?"

“Li Wei,” Su Ning slowly uttered the name. “On the surface, he’s in the building materials business, but secretly he runs an underground bank and has recently gotten involved in antiquities smuggling. Do I need to say more?”

Tang Shouyu's forehead was covered in cold sweat: "Officer Jian, you can't just say things like that..."

“Go back and tell Li Wei.” Su Ning leaned close to his ear, her voice icy, “He’s not high enough to bribe a policeman.”

Watching Tang Shouyu's hasty departure, Su Ning narrowed his eyes.

Li Wei is a major villain in the original work, and his current targeting of me is probably related to their smuggling business.

Meanwhile, in the criminal investigation team's office, Liang Wuyun was organizing case files.

In the past few days, the criminal investigation team suddenly received news that multiple kidnapping cases had occurred in various parts of the city.

The suspects lured the victims into a hotel, drugged them, and then robbed them of their money.

Similar cases have occurred multiple times, and the suspects left almost no valuable clues at the scene, making it extremely difficult for the police to solve the cases.

With this in mind, the police decided to immediately dispatch special personnel to investigate the case.

The computer screen displays the latest photos of the victims...

After being drugged, everyone will have some kind of unknown substance found in their bodies.

The last line of the forensic report was marked in red: Trace amounts of ricin were detected.

Liang Wuyun couldn't help but gasp.
