Detective: I, Cao Jianjun, started by arresting my brother-in-law.

Two hours passed, and Huang Xi, soaked to the bone, remained lying there motionless.

A dozen minutes later, a huge wave crashed in, covering Huang Xi like a raincoat.

As the waves receded, Huang Xi, with his hands supporting him on the ground, coughed violently.

She got up from the ground.

He had no watch, no cell phone, but according to the time Cao Jianjun had timed himself, it should be around midnight.

Turning my head to look at the dark, boundless sea, all I could hear was the endless sound of water.

Looking across to the other side of the land, there was also an unfamiliar and remote area.

As the sea breeze blew in the latter half of the night, Huang Xi felt cold all over and couldn't help but shiver.

She gradually remembered the things Cao Jianjun had arranged for her. The matter was urgent, and for a moment, she seemed to have no time to worry about her fear of the unfamiliar environment around her.

With his shoes completely soaked, Huang Xi gritted his teeth and ran forward with all his might.

And so, in the pitch-black night, she saw the wide asphalt road and the streetlights.

Although he didn't know where he was, for Huang Xi, who had come back from the dead, it was a source of hope.

After walking and running all the way, and going through many twists and turns, I finally arrived at the road, panting heavily.

Once on the mainland, Huang Xi looked around for traffic signs, then looked around blankly. Finally, she realized that she was in the outskirts of Dongshan.

He stretched out his hand and waved to flag down a car.

Unfortunately, dozens of cars whizzed past us without stopping.

Huang Xi was not discouraged. He ran all the way towards Dongshan City, his clothes were almost dry and his shoes were almost wrung dry.

And so it went on for forty or fifty minutes before a local taxi finally stopped.

Without saying a word, Huang Xi opened the car door and got in: "Master, Dongshan Police Station."

"Girl, you've been bullied, haven't you?"

Seeing Huang Xi's disheveled appearance, the driver couldn't help but worry. He shifted gears and slammed on the gas.

“I’m telling you, don’t be scared now, we’re going to the police station right away…”

The driver spoke in fluent Central Plains Mandarin, and as he spoke, he kept saying he was worried that Huang Xi might do something rash.

After much trouble, the car finally stopped at the police station half an hour later.

Huang Xi didn't even mention paying; he pushed open the car door and rushed out.

Investigation team.

She is now looking for the investigation team, which was arranged by Cao Jianjun, who told her not to trust anyone except Li Weimin.

But Huang Xi had never met the investigation team, let alone knew who Li Weimin was. Suddenly... she remembered the phone number Cao Jianjun had given her.

"Officer, officer..."

Because it was late at night, only a few people were left on duty at the police station.

After rushing up in a disheveled state, Huang Xi pleaded pitifully, "I...can I borrow your phone for a moment? I...I need to make a call."

This small favor was nothing to the police, so he nodded and handed one of the landlines to Huang Xi.

Huang Xi recalled Li Weimin's phone number and dialed it with trembling fingers.

Dudu——dudu——

"Hey?"

"Director Li...?"

Huang Xi tried to keep his voice as low as possible: "I...I am Huang Xi. I just...just came out of Tazhai. Cao Jianjun told me...to find you. Where are you now?"

"..."

On the other end of the phone, Li Weimin paused for a good two or three seconds: "Girl, where are you now? I'm coming to find you."

"I...I'm at the Dongshan Police Station. Please...please hurry."

After saying that, Huang Xi hung up the phone, returned the landline to the police officer, and said thank you.

For the rest of the time, she just waited.

Try to stand in places with surveillance cameras, and make sure you are completely exposed.

About fifteen minutes later, a police car drove up from outside. The door opened, and Li Weimin, dressed in a police uniform, got out looking anxious.

The police officers on duty at the station were shocked to see Li Weimin appear and rushed forward to greet him.

"Director Li?"

"Director Li, what brings you here?"

Li Weimin waved his hand and walked straight up to Huang Xi: "Miss, was it you who called me just now?"

"You...you are Director Li?"

Huang Xi looked at Li Weimin with uncertainty and wariness in her eyes.

"Come on! Let's talk in the car."

Li Weimin maintained his smile as he spoke, taking off his police uniform jacket and draping it over Huang Xi.

Once inside the police car, Huang Xi remained tense throughout.

Whether it was from the cold or from nervousness, her eyes were filled with distance when she looked at Li Weimin.

"Young lady, what's your name?"

Li Weimin smiled and immediately saw through her wariness. He didn't press her, but instead turned the steering wheel and drove the car around.

"Huang...Huang Xi..."

"Huang Xi?"

Li Weimin was taken aback: "Judging from your accent, you don't seem to be from here~?"

"Green vines."

"Green vines?"

Li Weimin raised his eyebrows: "Goodness, girl, you weren't tricked into coming here by that kid Cao Jianjun when he was handling the case at Green Vine, were you?"

"No."

Huang Xi wasn't in the mood for this conversation and kept swallowing as he asked, "Um... are you Director Li Weimin?"

"What? Don't I look like it?"

Li Weimin continued driving with a smile, glanced at Huang Xi, and then took out his ID card from the side and handed it over.

"Here, take a look for yourself. It's the real Li Weimin, the leader of the joint investigation team from the provincial department."

"The Cao Jianjun you mentioned, the person you asked me to find, is that me?"

Only then did Huang Xi finally feel completely relieved and let out a heavy sigh of relief.

The intense, continuous tension followed by sudden relaxation completely broke down her defenses, which she had never experienced before, and she burst into tears, hugging her arms.

Mainly, I was terrified.

"Hey, girl, don't cry..."

Li Weimin panicked and said helplessly, "You...you have to tell me what's going on right away. Why did Cao Jianjun ask you to come to me?"

"Woooooooo..."

Huang Xi is someone who has experienced death and despair, mainly because it was her first time experiencing these things.

Therefore, it is difficult to calm down one's inner emotions in a short period of time.

She needed to cry, she needed to vent.

Li Weimin drove around and talked for a long time, but the other person wouldn't listen. So, he just called Ma Wen directly.

When the car arrived home, Ma Wen was already standing at the door, so she quickly got up.

"Director Li...you wanted to see me?"

"Ma Wen".

Li Weimin pulled the handbrake and got out of the car, pointing to Huang Xi in the passenger seat and saying, "Next, your task is with her."

"she?"

Ma Wen was stunned.

"Correct."

Li Weimin stood to the side with his hands on his hips and said, "I don't know what this girl has been through. She just came out of Tazhai. Look, she's soaking wet."

“I guess she went to the beach. Here’s what you should do… take her to take a hot bath first, and then change her clothes.”

"We'll talk about this once she's calmed down."

Ma Wen understood and, after receiving the order, helped Huang Xi out of the car, into the house, and took her to the bathroom.
