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

This place is practically a must-visit for Li Chengyang. He and Da Jiang can often be seen eating and drinking here.

That's why Cao Jianjun chose to come.

To uncover the dark secrets of Green Vine, relying solely on the special task force is too direct and won't play a crucial role.

But Li Chengyang was different; he was a member of the underworld, held no public office, and had complicated relationships. Cao Jianjun thought it would be worthwhile to meet with him.

As soon as the three sat down, a tall, slender, young, and beautiful woman appeared.

She had a slender waist with an apron tied around her waist, her hair was tied in a ponytail, and two strands of hair fell across her fair forehead, giving her a slightly languid appearance.

"What would you three like to eat?"

The woman was Yu Jingjing, the owner of the wonton shop. When she arrived, she bent down and asked with a smile.

"Madam, this is our first time here. Could you recommend your restaurant's signature dishes?"

Cao Jianjun sized up Yu Jingjing, a faint smile playing on his lips.

This is Li Chengyang's lover in the original drama, but it's unclear what their relationship has become now.

"Okay, then... I'll make it for the three of you as I see fit?"

The proprietress, Yu Jingjing, looked at the three of them with a friendly smile, then got up and left.

Cao Jianjun's eyes kept following the woman's back, which Gao Suo and Yang Shu couldn't stand.

Dangdangdang——

Gao Suo couldn't help but tap the table: "Jianjun, what are you looking at? Mind your place!"

"I know, Director Gao."

Cao Jianjun didn't explain, but he was still thinking about other things.

The three of them had their late-night snack served quickly: three large bowls of wontons and two small dishes of salty cold vegetables.

After the proprietress, Yu Jingjing, served all the food for the three of them, the curtain of the wonton shop was lifted again, and two familiar figures walked in.

It was Li Chengyang and Dajiang, whom Cao Jianjun had been waiting for.

See this.

The proprietress smiled instinctively and stood up to greet her.

"Still the same?"

"Ah."

Li Chengyang avoided looking directly at the proprietress, but Da Jiang, who was standing next to him, spoke up: "Hey, I'd like two bowls of wontons..."

"How about I eat you to death?"

Li Chengyang retorted through gritted teeth.

Da Jiang rolled his eyes and ignored him, glancing warily in the direction of Cao Jianjun and the other two, then looked at the proprietress Yu Jingjing and asked her a question.

"Those three...never seen them before? Just passing by for a meal?"

"do not know."

The proprietress, Yu Jingjing, shook her head and said, "That person kept looking at me, as if he knew me."

Upon hearing this, Li Chengyang and Da Jiang were both taken aback and turned to look at Cao Jianjun.

Since none of the three were wearing police uniforms today, but only plainclothes, it was hard to believe they were police officers.

"Who is this?"

Li Chengyang's roguish nature suddenly came out. He got up and was about to walk this way when Old Lady Yu Jingjing and Dajiang were startled and quickly reached out to stop him.

"What are you doing? Sit down right now..."

"Cheng Yang, what's wrong with you?"

however.

Li Chengyang ignored all advice, his small eyes half-closed, staring intently at Cao Jianjun, before he got up and swaggered over.

He has the typical demeanor of a socialite.

A few seconds later, Li Chengyang reached Cao Jianjun, casually put his arm around Cao's shoulder, bent down, and looked Yang Shu and Gao Suo up and down.

"Dude, never seen this before? Just passing by?"

"Who are you?"

Cao Jianjun smiled without saying a word, but Gao Suo felt provoked and put down his soup spoon, asking, "What's up?"

"Oh hehehe..."

Li Chengyang shook his head and chuckled with a slightly sly grin: "It's nothing, it's nothing. I just saw that I hadn't seen the three of you before, so I came over to ask. You're not from around here, are you?"

"Li Chengyang?"

this time.

Cao Jianjun stopped hiding his feelings, finished the last sip of soup in his bowl, and straightened up.

As soon as he said it, the people around him were stunned, especially Li Chengyang, who frowned and looked at Cao Jianjun blankly.

Then, he pointed to himself and asked, "I...you...know me?"

"know."

Cao Jianjun wiped his mouth with a tissue, stood up and shook Li Chengyang's hand: "Let me introduce ourselves, we are police officers from the Quancheng Police Station, specifically from the Balihe Police Station."

"Police."

Li Chengyang suddenly grinned and laughed, but two seconds later, he abruptly pulled his hand back, his smile vanished, and his face darkened.

"What's wrong with the police? What's so great about them? Does that mean they can just stare at people?"

"What kind of police are you, from Balihe? I think you're all just crazy..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Chengyang turned and left without looking back.

The whole process seemed rather neurotic.

At least, Deputy Director Gao Chao and Yang Shu both knew each other, and it all felt like something inexplicable had happened.

But Cao Jianjun knew that Li Chengyang was just like that; he seemed reckless, but in reality, he was hiding something.

To put it bluntly, as soon as Li Chengyang heard that he was a policeman, he didn't want to deal with him and deliberately avoided him.

"Jianjun, what's going on?"

Gao was still completely bewildered, his finger darting back and forth between Li Chengyang and Cao Jianjun: "What? You know each other?"

"know."

Cao Jianjun smiled with relief and said, "Do you remember Lin Hao from today? Lin Hao's father was Li Chengyang's mentor. Fourteen years ago, he was framed and dismissed from the police force."

"Oh……"

Gao Suo immediately looked enlightened and said, "I understand."

"Director Gao, wait a minute..."

Cao Jianjun didn't want to miss out on Li Chengyang, a pawn in the game. With such deep waters as Green Vine, Li Chengyang was the most suitable person to stir things up.

Therefore, he decided to take the initiative to approach and make contact.

Just then, the proprietress, Yu Jingjing, arrived carrying two large bowls of wontons. Cao Jianjun took them from her and turned to deliver them to Li Chengyang and Dajiang himself.

"What? What?"

Li Chengyang, his face grim and his upper body stiff, said, "Why are the police from Quancheng here? Who are you? What do you want with me?"

"Don't worry."

Cao Jianjun calmly put down the wontons, then casually pulled over a stool and sat down.

"Don't you want to know how Marshal Ma died?"

40. Tire punctured, a threat from Gao Mingyuan

Ma Shuai is the chairman of Green Vine New Marshal Group and Li Chengyang's former boss.

Fourteen years ago, Li Chengyang was framed and dismissed from the police force. He had been drifting aimlessly in society until he met Ma Shuai.

This pursuit lasted for ten years.

This shows how deep their feelings for each other are.

Fourteen years ago, Green Vine City developed a project to connect every village with roads, and Ma Shuai was the person in charge of this project.

Due to the significant safety hazards posed by the project, a quality inspector named Mai Zili reported the issue to higher authorities several times, but was ultimately silenced by Gao Mingyuan's men.

Ma Shuai witnessed Mai Zili's murder firsthand, and frankly, he knew all the details about Gao Mingyuan.

This incident was hidden for fourteen years.

The provincial department's 915 task force arrived at Lvteng, and at that time, Ma Shuai happened to be in detention because of a lawsuit.

When the task force located Ma Shuai, he suddenly died during the interrogation.
