It's already 2026, how can we still talk about having many children and having many blessings?

I checked the time; there was still half a day left, so I wasn't in a hurry to go.

He took a small brocade box out of his bag and opened it.

Inside is a safety buckle, also made of glutinous ice jade, light green, translucent and warm.

"Teacher Jiang, this is for the child."

Zhang Yan glanced at it and his expression changed.

"This...this kind of water is too expensive, at least ten thousand yuan. Brother Chen Mo, take it back."

"Brother Yan, you know about jade too?"

"I went to Myanmar on a mission and learned a lot." Zhang Yan pushed the brocade box back. "Take it back quickly."

"Brother Yan, I'm not giving this to you, I'm giving it to the child."

"It really won't work." Zhang Yan said with a serious expression.

Chen Mo thought for a moment.

"Alright."

Zhang Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Xue immediately said, "This safety amulet is so beautiful, I'll buy it. Chen Mo, I'll transfer the money to you."

"Okay, Teacher Jiang helped me a lot back then, so I'll just charge you the cost price, eight hundred yuan."

"What? Eight hundred yuan?" Zhang Yan's eyes widened. "Brother Chen Mo, don't mess around like this! What's the difference between this and giving it away?"

"How did I mess things up? This was cut from a rough stone, costing only eight hundred yuan, and the carving technique is my own, so this is the cost price. I have proof, Brother Yan, what are you afraid of?"

Zhang Yan looked at him, then at the safety buckle.

"Sigh...you...never mind, that's fine then."

Jiang Xue took out her phone and transferred 800 yuan to Chen Mo.

The people at the table watched this scene with wide eyes.

Jade gambling? 800 yuan bet turned into over 10,000? That's incredibly profitable!

"Chen Mo, is gambling on jade really that profitable?"

"One cut can make you poor, another can make you rich. At the public auction a few days ago, a company spent 1.5 billion to buy the most expensive piece of land, but in the end it was only worth a few million. 1.5 billion! It just went down the drain."

The people at the table gasped.

"Brothers, if one day I lose everything gambling and have nothing left, please don't be stingy if I ask for a drink."

"I will take care of you," Zhao Siman said from the side.

"Hahaha...right, right, right, Zhao Siman is a rich woman now!" someone teased.

Just as he was laughing, Zhang Yan's phone rang.

He answered the phone, listened for a few words, and his expression turned serious.

"Okay, I got it, I'll be right there."

He hung up the phone and looked at Jiang Xue.

"I have to go back to the station to interrogate Feng Biao. I estimate I'll be busy for a while."

"Go."

"Thanks a lot."

"I knew it from the moment I chose to marry you."

Jiang Xue straightened his collar. "It's alright, you have your mission."

Zhang Yan glanced at her, then at the daughter in his arms.

Then he turned to Chen Mo and extended his hand.

"Brother Chen Mo, let's drink again when I have time."

"be safe."

Zhang Yan nodded, wanting to say something, but hesitated and stopped.

[This Chen Mo is a true friend; he's Xiaoxue's student, and Xiaoxue helped him back then. If something happens to me, he'll definitely help Xiaoxue.]

[Sigh, I was injured there during a mission in Myanmar back then. It's irreversible, and I'm destined not to be able to give Xiaoxue happiness. I even had to have an artificial insemination to have a child...]

Her mother doesn't approve of me either, and I'll only continue to drag her down. This time, someone almost died, so I might as well risk it all. If I manage to win a first-class merit award, it'll be some protection for Xiaoxue.

He finally spoke.

"Brother, over the years, many people have wanted me dead. I'm often on duty, sometimes even in Southeast Asia for joint operations. I have no other family. Could you and Siman please... if you have time..."

"Damn it!" Chen Mo interrupted him, "I hate people like you and Xiang Nan the most."

He looked at the words above Zhang Yan's head and felt a lump in his throat.

What the hell are these people thinking?

But he also understood that Jiang Xue's child's situation was probably similar to Zhao Siman's.

Zhang Yan opened his mouth.

Chen Mo patted him on the shoulder.

"Brother Yan, no matter what, you must protect yourself. Remember, you have Teacher Jiang and your lovely daughter."

"Hahaha... Okay! I'll be careful. I still want to see my daughter grow up."

Chen Mo thought for a moment, "Brother Yan, I know psychology. How about I go with you and see if we can find out who the bigger fish is behind Feng Biao?"

"It's against the rules." Zhang Yan frowned. "But you're the one who arrested him. You're coming with me. I'll ask my superiors and apply for a bravery award for you."

Chen Mo told Zhao Siman to eat first, and if she didn't return, she should go back by herself.

Zhao Siman nodded. "Be careful."

We arrived at the Municipal Bureau quickly.

When the leader learned that Chen Mo had arrested Feng Biao, he immediately became very polite. Hearing that Chen Mo knew psychology, and with Zhang Yan vouching for him, he allowed Chen Mo to watch from outside through a one-way glass window.

In the interrogation room, Feng Biao was handcuffed to a chair, the blood at the corner of his mouth had dried, and his face was covered in bruises.

When he saw Zhang Yan come in, he grinned, revealing a mouthful of bloody teeth.

"Zhang Yan, don't bother. I admit defeat. Do whatever you want with me."

Zhang Yan sat down and opened the notebook.

"Feng Biao, who's backing you? Who helped you sneak into the hotel?"

Feng Biao leaned back in his chair.

"I did it all by myself. I wanted to kill your whole family. Nobody helped me."

"You alone? The security system at Xiangsi Lake Hotel is so tight, how could you have gotten in without an inside man?"

"I'm skilled, I'm good at makeup, so what?" Feng Biao sneered. "Zhang Yan, don't try to trick me. I've told you everything I need to tell you. Either you kill me or you lock me up for life. Anyway, I don't want to live anymore."

Zhang Yan glared at him, and Feng Biao glared back without flinching.

"I only have one thing to say: my son is dead, my life has no meaning, do whatever you want."

Zhang Yan stood up, walked out of the interrogation room, his face full of helplessness.

"No, he put on a resigned look and didn't say anything."

"Moreover, my brothers wrote back to me saying that the security system of Xiangsi Lake Hotel detected this person for the first time. He had already changed into a waiter's uniform, which shows that he had been lying in wait for a long time, but we can't find any other evidence yet."

Chen Mo thought for a moment and whispered something in Zhang Yan's ear.

Zhang Yan frowned, then pushed open the door to the interrogation room and went inside.

He sat down and gave a cold laugh.

"Feng Biao, don't think I don't know you're just a pawn."

Feng Biao's eyes flickered, but his face still wore that "I'm not afraid of boiling water" expression.

"What are you saying? I don't understand."

"You want that person to avenge you, to kill my whole family for you."

Zhang Yan revealed a cold smile.

"Hehe, but you don't know, we already have evidence. Our people have already surrounded the Xiangsi Lake Hotel, and we'll reunite him with you soon."

Feng Biao's expression suddenly changed.

"How could you possibly know..."

He abruptly shut his mouth.

But Chen Mo, standing behind the one-way glass, could see the words above his head clearly.

[Impossible... Zhao Shao has already cleared himself of everything regarding that incident... He couldn't possibly know...]

Chen Mo wrote down that name.

In the interrogation room, Feng Biao suddenly burst into manic laughter.

"Heh, I'm just a pawn. Someone wants to kill your whole family, especially your beautiful wife, hahaha... but I won't say anything. Go ahead and kill me if you dare."

Zhang Yan clenched his fist, but didn't show it on his face.

"Fine, you don't want the chance to redeem yourself? Then you'll have to wait for legal punishment."

He stood up and walked out of the interrogation room.

"Feng Biao does have someone behind him, but he won't talk, so we have to continue the investigation."

Chen Mo asked a question.

"Don't you have any suspects? For example, in the case involving Feng Biao's son last time, were there any people connected to the Xiangsi Lake Hotel?"

Zhang Yan looked on in astonishment. "Brother Chen Mo, you're really amazing. You figured out the key so quickly. This is exactly what I'm looking for, and I already have someone I suspect."

"Unfortunately, that guy cleared himself of all charges last time; he has a lot of influence."

If he has a lot of energy, then we must destroy him.

Otherwise, Jiang Xue and the child would be in danger.

However, he couldn't directly say that he could read minds. Instead, he asked Zhang Yan to produce a list of people who were related to Feng Biao's previous case and also connected to the hotel.
