Starting by picking up a female fan, he swept through the martial arts world.

"He's dead."

Jiang Tai put down his phone, looking somewhat embarrassed.

Si Hong quickly pressed, "What did he say when he hung up?"

Jiang Tai's expression stiffened slightly: "He said... okay!"

"That's good."

Si Hong looked at Qin Wei beside her: "Officer Qin, don't worry, A Lang has been much better behaved since he came back from studying abroad. He will definitely cooperate with your investigation. As parents, we also trust our child. Based on our understanding of him, he definitely won't get involved with the copycat criminals."

Jiang Tai laughed and chimed in, "Yeah! Ah Lang definitely wouldn't!"

As his biological father, he could completely understand the feelings Jiang Lang had when he said "okay".

He still remembers how he felt when Jiang Lang approached him to say he was preparing to study abroad.

At that time, he thought to himself that no matter what, he would help Jiang Lang establish his family business so that he could at least live a life free from worries about food and clothing.

So when Qin Wei suddenly appeared and asked Jiang Lang to go to the Linqi branch office to cooperate with the investigation, he refused.

But what Qin Wei said next made him feel like the sky had fallen.

Jiang Lang!

His own son!

It's possible he's involved in the imitation of the official!

This could potentially implicate the whole family!

Silent official!

In most people's eyes, he is just a chivalrous hero who eliminates evil and upholds justice, except that he has a higher level of martial arts skills.

But if that's all there is to it, how could it possibly warrant the combined efforts of various warlord factions to annihilate it?

This name is taboo.

Anything related to Mo Li will be dealt with severely.

For example, there was a copycat who was the nephew of Duan Xiwen's third concubine. Before he was exposed, he was very successful in the wild. But after he was exposed, Duan Xiwen shot him dead in the street, his brains and blood splattered all over the ground, without showing him any mercy.

This is just the most low-class imitator.

This time, the imitator is the strongest ever, and its performance is ridiculously strong, even approaching the level of the real Mo Li.

What's worse is that the strength here is not in terms of military force. In terms of individual combat strength, they are far inferior to the Silent Official, and their methods are also far inferior to the real Silent Official's forbidden techniques.

The team behind the imitator is absolutely top-notch.

That's the worst thing.

It was so egregious that Jiang Tai dared not protect Jiang Lang at all.

Furthermore, Jiang Lang and the copycat appeared almost simultaneously, leaving him no choice but to fully cooperate with Qin Wei.

Qin Wei smiled and comforted him, "Of course I believe in Director Jiang's family upbringing. Actually, I don't think your son has any problems. It's just a routine inquiry. I hope your son can provide some clues to arrest the copycat. If our entire department works together to solve a major case, it will be a great success."

"Is that so!"

Jiang Tai's smile gradually became more natural: "Speaking of which, this is also an opportunity for Ah Lang. If we can help catch the copycat criminal, our Jiang family can also benefit from it."

Qin Wei nodded: "The commander has always been fair in his rewards and punishments. If he can really help, he will certainly not treat your son unfairly. At that time, he may not need to wait for seniority at Qida University."

Just then, his phone rang.

He glanced at the screen, then stood up with a smile: "The people from the Linqi branch have already received your son. Thank you both for your understanding and cooperation."

In addition, the two men's assistance in investigating the chaos in the Seven Emotions Vine market was a great contribution to the discipline and conduct of the Column Army.

The commander said he would definitely reward him, and the instigator of this incident would also receive the punishment he deserved.

I have other things to attend to, so I'll take my leave now. See you another day!

"Staff Officer Qin, let me see you off!"

The couple stood up and warmly saw Qin Wei out of the hospital.

Once back in the living room, the atmosphere immediately became quiet.

Si Hong's eyes showed some panic: "How did Ah Lang get involved with the copycat criminal Mo Li?!"

"Don't speak yet!"

Jiang Tai rubbed his temples, feeling increasingly troubled by the matter.

He did this for two reasons: first, to reclaim the testing authority from the customs; and second, to incidentally help Si Hong revive its industries.

Thirdly, the current state of the Seven Emotions Vine industry is indeed too chaotic, and the damage to society is irreversible.

He knew, of course, that this might harm Bai Heng's interests, but the main loser would definitely be the Qingmai Domain.

But the result...

This kind of destructive practice was actually instructed by Bai Heng to Qian.

Just moments after his son bypassed security and collected samples in a way that was hard for ordinary people to understand, the copycat criminal jumped out and killed Seven Emotions Vine.

This is too tricky!

He regretted it a little; he wished he hadn't been in such a hurry.

But now he was helpless. He had just been promoted to acting director and was only one step away from getting the real position. He had to cherish his reputation.

Hopefully, Jiang Lang and the copycat are really not related.

If so, then... it must be cut!

……

North of Qipu Yunting, there is a high-end residential community.

Yang Yu prepared lunch and placed it on the table. After carefully wiping her hands, she pushed open the door to the second bedroom: "Zhao Li, still asleep... Huh? You're awake? Why are you still fiddling with your phone in bed at midday?"

"Splash!"

She drew back the curtains.

"So bright!"

Bai Zhaoli muttered something, rubbed her eyes, and sat up.

Seeing that her hair was a mess and her eyes were incredibly dark, Yang Yu couldn't help but ask, "You didn't sleep all night, did you?"

"without……"

Bai Zhaoli pouted. She didn't know why, but whenever she closed her eyes, she would think of Gu Manzhi wearing only a pair of stockings.

Then I imagined Gu Manzhi and Jiang Lang rolling around together, whispering sweet nothings, even tearing their last pair of stockings, until Jiang Lang finally fell into a deep sleep after exhausting all his strength.

Then, Jiang Lang's phone rang.

Gu Manzhi nestled against his chest and answered the phone: "Miss Bai, he's already asleep, don't worry."

Why are you so infuriating?

That embrace was so warm, it made Gu Manzhi incredibly happy.

"Zhao Li?"

"Um?"

Are you in a bad mood?

Why should I be in a bad mood?

Bai Zhaoli instantly perked up and quickly explained, "I just can't sleep because my wound is hurting, and I'm also hungry. I'm sure I can sleep soundly once I've eaten!"

She got out of bed, put on her slippers, and ran towards the dining room: "Wow! The pork rib soup smells so good!"

"You haven't brushed your teeth yet!"

"Xiao Kui says it's healthier to eat first and then brush your teeth!"

"..."

Yang Yu watched her retreating figure thoughtfully, then shook his head and followed her.

Bai Zhaoli was indeed hungry, and devoured the food at the dining table in a flash.

Yang Yu rested her chin on her hand and looked her over. After she had almost finished eating, she said, "I think you should thank Jiang Lang again."

"I already thanked him yesterday, why should I thank him again today?"

Bai Zhaoli reflexively retorted, but as soon as the words left her mouth, she felt that she shouldn't have such emotions, and then stammered, "But he really has had a tough time, and verbal thanks don't seem to be enough, so I'll reluctantly make the trip."

Seeing this, Yang Yu was already seventy percent certain of his suspicions, and said with a teasing smile, "That's more like it. As a lord, you should treat your subordinates with respect. Otherwise, how can you get Zhuge Liang to follow you?"

"That's right!"

"Now that you've eaten, go wash up."

"I'm already full."

Bai Zhaoli stroked her flat stomach, thinking that as a lord who respected and valued talent, she really didn't need to get angry over the private lives of her virtuous ministers. Even if Jiang Lang's life was chaotic, it had nothing to do with her.

That's exactly the point!

Once she understood this, she felt much better.

But standing in front of the mirror, looking at my own dull complexion, I couldn't help but feel annoyed.

Why do I feel like I've gotten uglier? I can't even compare to Gu Manzhi.

"Sister Yu!"

"Um?"

"I remember when your ex-husband asked you to get back together, he gave you a set of rare, discontinued cosmetics from Spark?"

"Yes, that's true. What's wrong?"

"Let me use it!"

"?"

Half an hour later, Bai Zhaoli was happily checking her makeup.

I'm finally satisfied!

She picked out a bag from Yang Yu's walk-in closet, then slung it over her shoulder and walked out, saying, "Sister Yu, I'm leaving now, don't miss me!"

Without waiting for Yang Yu's reply, she rushed to the elevator.

Once we arrived at the underground parking garage, I stepped on the gas.

Fifteen minutes later, she knocked on the door of the teaching and research office.

"Senior Sister Bai?"

Zhang Qiqi was the first to see Bai Zhaoli and greeted her warmly: "You're here to see Xiao Kui again!"

"Um!"

"Brother Xu and Professor Su are in the lab."

"No rush, let me sit for a while."

Bai Zhaoli casually found a seat and sat down, but still kept looking around.

Ghost Eyes glanced at her: "Miss Bai, you probably want to find someone else, right?"

Bai Zhaoli vehemently denied it: "No!"

Ghost Eyes nodded: "That's good! If you're looking for Jiang Lang, he really isn't here."

"Why? What did he do?"

Bai Zhaoli was immediately unhappy. It was already midday, and they still hadn't gotten up?

Ghost Eyes pondered for a moment: "He just received a phone call. The Linqi branch office has a case they need his cooperation in investigating, and he went."

"What!?"

Bai Zhaoli felt her head buzz, and her lips trembled: "I...I'll go find him!"

He hurriedly left the teaching and research office, not even bothering to pick up the chair he had kicked over.

……

A hotel not far from the Spark Research Institute.

Gu Manzhi lay on her side on the bed, clutching her phone with some worry.

Yesterday, she called Bai Zhaoli without permission, but she couldn't delete the call log.

If Jiang Lang finds out, I wonder if he will blame me.

"Buzz!"

My phone suddenly vibrated.

She was startled and quickly looked at the screen, only to find that the nickname was not "brother" but "dean".

"Hello! Dean?"

"The Special Operations Division of the Linqi Branch just contacted you, wanting your cooperation in the investigation. If you don't want trouble, you can either go back to the compound and hide now, or contact your uncle as soon as possible."

"What!?"

Gu Manzhi's expression changed drastically. They'd already come knocking on her door, what about Jiang Lang...?
