Shen Jiyuan frowned. He thought for a moment, then rewound the video slightly, pausing it on the scene of the man in black. He said in a deep voice, "This person... looks a lot like the bandit Nian I met."

Zhao Tong was stunned, then sat bolt upright. "Really?"

Shen Jiyuan said, "I just asked Huo Yunzheng, and he said that Nian Fei is a technical expert at Guima Pavilion and is their company's technical consultant."

"Do you remember...?" Shen Jiyuan turned to look at him, hesitatingly saying, "That emergency call before, the one that claimed Su Qian's death was not natural."

Zhao Tong was taken aback again. They had indeed checked that phone number, but ultimately found nothing.

The number is virtual, and the voice has been altered.

Even now, the technical department has not been able to analyze the source of the emergency call.

Upon realizing this, his eyes widened suddenly. "You mean, Nian Fei was the one who called the police?!"

Shen Jiyuan's gaze unconsciously fell on the screen. He paused and said, "Although it's just my guess, I feel it's pretty close to the truth."

"The home surveillance system suddenly malfunctioned, and Lu Nian was able to come over and lure Xiao Ji and the others out. It was probably Nian Fei's doing."

Zhao Tong frowned. "Could he be in cahoots with Lu Nian?"

"What exactly is their purpose?"

Shen Jiyuan didn't speak. He suddenly remembered what Su Qian had said to him four years ago.

She would give him the evidence of Bian Xiong's crimes as long as he could help her.

How did Su Qian get evidence of Bian Xiong's crimes?

Shen Jiyuan was stunned for a moment, and his mind involuntarily recalled what happened four years ago. That night, he felt... He left the next morning and never saw Su Qian again.

But since then, it has become much easier for him to find someone to investigate Bian Xiong.

He had investigated Bian Xiong before, but had never found anything. But since that day, the evidence of Bian Xiong's crimes... seemed to have been deliberately placed in front of him.

At first, he thought it was a trap set by Bian Xiong, but in the end, it was confirmed that the evidence was real.

It was after that that he sent Bian Xiong in and took over all of his shares, thus establishing his position in the group.

No one looked down on him anymore, and no one opposed the group's reforms and expansion.

Shen Jiyuan's eyes trembled slightly. Could it be that the evidence that was presented to him four years ago... was given to him by Su Qian?

Why would Su Qian investigate Bian Xiong?

How did Su Qian find the evidence that even he couldn't find?

And what is his relationship with Lu Nian, Nian Fei...?

Shen Jiyuan's eyes narrowed into a deep glint. He turned to Zhao Tong and asked, "Can your public security system... find a list of undercover agents?"

Zhao Tong was stunned for a moment before realizing what Shen Jiyuan was talking about.

He frowned and shook his head. "Undercover agents, informants, etc., are all top secret. Even the chief... doesn't know about them, so there's no way we could find out."

"They usually work alone, and the people in the bureau who work with them wouldn't reveal such classified information." He paused, then continued, "You suspect that Lu Nian is... an undercover agent?"

Shen Jiyuan rolled his eyes. "What are you pretending for?"

Zhao Tong grinned and said, "You little rascal, I told you back then to take the police academy entrance exam with me, but you insisted on coming back to inherit the family business."

"You're right, I did have that same suspicion."

Shen Jiyuan frowned and told Zhao Tong what Su Qian had told him four years ago. Zhao Tong raised an eyebrow in surprise, "So, they started investigating Sun Huai four years ago?"

Shen Jiyuan shook his head. "I think it should be more than that."

"How so?"

Shen Jiyuan hesitated for a moment before asking, "Do you still remember the 'horse-riding' game that was all the rage in high society four years ago?"

Zhao Tong didn't inherit the family business, but his family was still a wealthy one, and he knew a thing or two about it. He nodded and said, "Mm."

Shen Jiyuan said, "This game... also disappeared after Bian Xiong was arrested and the police cracked down on it, eventually arresting a group of people."

"However, I remember that we didn't catch the person behind it all back then."

Zhao Tong realized what he meant. "You mean, Lu Nian and his group were very likely investigating this four years ago?"

Shen Jiyuan leaned back in his chair with his arms crossed. "Bian Xiong was arrested after that, and the 'Zouma' game was also cracked down on after that..." He raised an eyebrow. "I don't think this timing is just a coincidence."

Zhao Tong pondered for a moment, then nodded. "Indeed."

"In the last part of the video, Su Qian went to Yunxiangju." Shen Jiyuan wanted to say that Lao Jiang probably wouldn't have given him this video for no reason, but halfway through his sentence, he suddenly remembered that the brat also longed to go to Yunxiangju.

He frowned. "This Yunxiang Residence is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface, but..." He chuckled and stood up from the stool. "This is your police's business. Go investigate it yourselves."

Zhao Tong stood up, put his arm around his shoulder, and walked out like buddies. "Aren't you even a little bit curious?"

Shen Jiyuan disgustedly shook off his hand and sneered, "I'm just an ordinary citizen. Do you think I'm asking for trouble, curious about this?"

Zhao Tong said speechlessly, "You? An ordinary? citizen?"

Shen Jiyuan rolled his eyes. "Don't come to my house so often in the future, lest you cause me any trouble."

Zhao Tong: "..."

The two walked downstairs side by side. Shen Jiyuan peeked into the living room and saw Shen Ji and Shaoyao playing games on the sofa.

Shen Jiyuan walked over with his arms crossed, plopped down next to him, and glanced down to see that this kid was actually playing a competitive game.

He glanced at Shen Ji's actions subconsciously and was somewhat surprised. This kid's actions were so smooth. Could a three-year-old child play at this level?

After Shen Ji eliminated the opposing marksman and mage with a combo, he turned his head and looked at them. "Dad, are you done talking?"

Shen Jiyuan hummed in agreement, picked him up and placed him on his lap, holding him close as he watched him play the game. "Good lad, not bad at all."

Shen Ji said proudly, "My mother taught me~"

Shen Jiyuan glanced at the phone in Shaoyao's hand again. The two of them were not playing the same game. Shaoyao was still playing Candy Crush.

Perhaps noticing his gaze, Peony looked up with a pitiful expression, "Little Chicken said I'm too bad at the game, so he won't play with me..."

Shen Jiyuan: "..."

It's the kind of thing a brat would do.

Shen Ji quickly finished a game, and as soon as he left the interface, he started another game. Only then did Shen Jiyuan realize that the brat was actually playing duo with someone else.

The other person's profile picture is a very beautiful anime girl avatar, so it should be a girl.

Hey!

His face darkened. This brat was actually with a girl?

Shen Ji has always played jungle, and he especially likes to play junglers who require a lot of skillful maneuvering.

He watched helplessly as Shen Ji chose a hero named Jing, whose masterful Flying Thunder God technique almost completely outplayed his opponent.

He was somewhat surprised, "Did your mother teach you this too?"

Shen Ji chuckled, "Dad, you're always quick to answer!"

Shen Jiyuan: "..."
