Seeing the crime scene flashbacks made me the darling of the police station.

Chapter 446 The fewer people who know, the better

night.

After leaving the Municipal Bureau, Su Miaoyi returned to the compound.

Shen Shilan needed to rest her ribs, so she stayed at the Shen family's place for a few days before returning home.

When Su Miaoyi opened the door, she saw Qin Chengyuan lifting Shen Shilan off the sofa.

Hearing the door open, the two looked towards the entrance.

Su Miaoyi stood at the living room doorway, looking at the two of them, and then smiled and said, "Did I disturb you?"

"Lele, you're back!" Shen Shilan said happily.

Qin Chengyuan was also happy to see her, but said, "I'm sorry to bother you a little."

Shen Shilan pinched him and glared at him.

Qin Chengyuan gritted his teeth and didn't dare to make a sound.

"It's nothing, I love bothering you all." Su Miaoyi changed her shoes and entered the living room. "Mom, how are you? Does it still hurt so much?"

"I'm much better. It's just that I forgot I was injured while I was on the sofa, and when I turned over, it hurt again." Shen Shilan looked at her. "Have you been very tired lately? Have you not been sleeping well?"

"I'm fine. Shall we go back to our room?"

"It's fine to talk like this," Qin Chengyuan said.

Shen Shilan looked at him, then laughed, "Director Qin, do you think you're thirty years old this year?"

Su Miaoyi wanted to laugh, but she held it in.

Qin Chengyuan glanced at her.

Su Miaoyi whispered, "My uncle said you're the eldest in our family."

Qin Chengyuan continued to look at her.

Su Miaoyi touched Shen Shilan's hand, asking her for help.

"Let's go back to our room. I'm not feeling well," Shen Shilan said.

Qin Chengyuan withdrew his gaze, carried Shen Shilan back to the room, and placed her on the bed.

Su Miaoyi moved a stool and sat on the edge of the bed: "Mom, the new ring."

Shen Shilan smiled.

"Dad, yours is a new ring too."

“Of course, they are a pair,” Qin Chengyuan said.

Su Miaoyi smiled and mimicked his words: "They're a pair."

Qin Chengyuan took a box from the bedside table and gave it to her: "Yours."

Su Miaoyi opened it, and inside was a gold bracelet. She put it on her wrist and said, "I knew it, I had to have one. It's beautiful."

After talking with Shen Shilan for a while, Su Miaoyi and Qin Chengyuan went to the study to discuss the case.

Su Miaoyi specially pulled out a tea cake: "Sleep-aiding and calming tea."

Qin Chengyuan filled a kettle with water and put it on to boil.

Su Miaoyi broke a tea cake in half: "Dad, what are your thoughts on the people behind Jiangcheng Chongshang Hospital? Or... do you have anyone you suspect?"

“There are indeed people who have doubts,” Qin Chengyuan said. “This matter has caused a great stir. Even if the person behind it wants to protect Lian Yi and the others, they won’t easily make a move at this time.”

"At the very least, we need to wait until the hype surrounding this matter has died down, until everyone has gradually forgotten about it and no one is paying attention anymore," Su Miaoyi said.

“That’s right,” Qin Chengyuan said. “Or we might just ignore Lian Yi and the others. After all, Lian Yi still has people the hospital can contact, and Han Shang and Han Zhanpeng have both been arrested. Chongshang Hospital and the Han family are both finished. There’s no point in rescuing them. They might just choose not to save them.”

Su Miaoyi was silent for a moment: "Lian Yi's attitude made it seem like someone would definitely save him. The person behind him saving him is probably worried that Lian Yi will expose him, right?"

As she spoke, she recalled Lian Yi's face and suddenly became very angry: "Dad, you didn't see how arrogant Lian Yi was back then. I really wanted to punch him and send him flying."

"He should have been killed back then," the voice in my head said.

Su Miaoyi tapped her head.

"What's wrong? Headache?" Qin Chengyuan asked.

"It's alright," Qin Chengyuan said. "Lian Yi is sure someone will save him, but Han Shangcong wants to drag everyone down with him. How come these two are such opposites?"

Su Miaoyi did not speak.

"Judging from Lian Yi's attitude, it's as if he has grasped the lifeline of the person behind them, and the two seem to be bound together. But judging from Han Shangcong's attitude, no one can save them now," Qin Chengyuan analyzed.

Su Miaoyi also found it strange: "Now the two of them aren't saying anything."

"Let's wait and see," Qin Chengyuan said. "Anyway, no one can save them. If the person behind them makes a move, he's courting death and can't save them. If he doesn't make a move, no one will save Lian Yi either. If Lian Yi doesn't reveal who it is, there will be other ways to find out; it's just a matter of time."

The water has boiled.

Su Miaoyi started brewing tea, and after a few quick movements, she poured the tea from the fairness cup and moved it in front of Qin Chengyuan: "Dad, you're really amazing."

Qin Chengyuan smiled and said, "You will be even more amazing in the future. You are more talented than me, and you also have more empathy."

“That’s right, after all, I still have my mother’s genes,” Su Miaoyi said.

Qin Chengyuan nodded: "That's right, Shilan is indeed smarter than me."

He finished speaking and took a sip of tea.

Then he remained silent for more than ten seconds.

Su Miaoyi looked at him.

Qin Chengyuan said, "I've let Shilan down in terms of her genes, I mean in terms of tea brewing."

Su Miaoyi: "."

Qin Chengyuan took another sip of tea: "It tastes awful."

“Dad, please don’t be so blunt,” Su Miaoyi said.

"It's really not straightforward and tastes awful," Qin Chengyuan said.

Su Miaoyi poured him some water to drink: "I'm just puzzled, how can I make tea taste so bad when it's just brewed with water?"

“That’s also a kind of talent,” Qin Chengyuan said.

Su Miaoyi opened her mouth: "That's true."

Qin Chengyuan smiled.

Su Miaoyi then told him what Yan Cheng had told them that afternoon, as well as Wang Xuming's instructions and Ning Cheng's matter in Jiangcheng.

“Jiangcheng is indeed a bit chaotic,” Qin Chengyuan said. “We’ve held several meetings this year to clean up the area.”

Hearing his words, Su Miaoyi paused and said, "Dad, are you getting promoted?"

Qin Chengyuan remained silent.

Su Miaoyi pursed her lips and didn't ask any more questions.

"Lele."

"Ok?"

“While you were away, the Ji family went to look for your uncle,” Qin Chengyuan said.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Su Miaoyi asked, somewhat surprised.

"It seems his son has something he wants to ask your uncle for help with," Qin Chengyuan said. "The Ji family only made a brief introduction before your uncle interrupted them and told them not to contact him again. We don't know the specifics of what it is."

Su Miaoyi nodded.

"What I wanted to tell you is that Xi Xian is back," Qin Chengyuan said. "The New Year is coming soon, is Xi Xian going to the Cheng family's place for the New Year?"

Su Miaoyi nodded again.

"Will you see many relatives? You saw quite a few people when you went there for the Chinese New Year last year, right?"

“Ji Sheng and Cai Qinglian also went to the Cheng family’s hometown,” Su Miaoyi said.

“What if they go again this year?” Qin Chengyuan said. “Xi Xian is the real Su Miaoyi. If you two walk together on the street and bump into people, no one will think much of it. She is Xi Xian, a stranger to everyone else. Even if you look exactly alike, people will only be surprised. But if Xi Xian goes to see her relatives as Su Miaoyi, things will be different.”

“Your appearance has changed compared to last year. Changes might not go unnoticed. But if there are changes and then no changes, and the changes keep happening back and forth, that's troublesome. You two like to be together, so you need to discuss this with Xixian. Be careful, and the fewer people who know, the better.”

　Goodnight everybody
