Arriving in Jinghai, the lockdown for the operation was lifted, and they finally got their mobile phones back.
He turned on his phone, finding a few missed calls.
Among them were his parents’ calls. Unable to reach him, they sent a text asking when he’d be back for May Day.
The reason was simple: the family had set up another blind date.
Li Xiang chose to ignore it.
Lin Feifei also called, saying her nationwide concert tour had finally ended. She wanted to use May Day to relax, asking when he had ti as she was craving hotpot.
Hmm,
He wanted hotpot too, so he readily agreed: "Let’s do it!"
In the end, Yan Xiong decisively sent him a ssage:
"Saw Zhou Yuelong, right? Feel better?"
Upon seeing Yan Bureau’s ssage, Li Xiang realized that his participation in Zhou Yuelong’s arrest wasn’t a coincidence but carefully arranged by Yan Bureau.
The goal was probably to let him vent since he endured a lot of grievances and ended up in a sorry state to complete his mission back then.
Unexpectedly, Yan Bureau was so considerate, not at all matching his appearance.
"Felt better, thanks Yan Bureau."
Indeed, watching Zhou Yuelong get arrested in front of him really felt satisfying. Zhou Yuelong’s shocked and incredulous look at that mont made Li Xiang feel it was all worth it.
Only those who endure can laugh in the end.
The arrogant are only arrogant for a mont.
When the heavens wish to destroy soone, they first make them crazy!
Then Li Xiang opened the system ga, and instantly, a series of system notifications popped up:
[Task Na: Netting Operation]
[Task Description: During the previous coordination action, you successfully helped the Drug Enforcent Bureau infiltrate an undercover agent within the enemy, allowing the police to smoothly obtain a large amount of criminal evidence. Jinghai City forces will be a backbone in this arrest operation.]
[Task Requirent: Participate in the arrest operation and successfully complete the task.]
[Task Reward: Experience 600, Diamonds 3000]
[Ding, task completed, reward - experience 600, diamonds 3000]
Even though he couldn’t keep the phone by his side during the operation, the system still detected the task, rewarding him with 3000 diamonds, bringing his diamond count to over 5000.
Life was looking more and more hopeful!
Ding~
There was a new ssage.
It was from Lin Feifei: "Let’s make plans, I’ll co to Jinghai tomorrow, I’ve been craving so hotpot."
She knew Li Xiang didn’t have a car, so she offered to co to Jinghai.
"Okay, I’ll wait for you."
Considering the ti, it had indeed been a while since he and Lin Feifei last t; both of them had been quite busy, especially her with the exhausting nationwide tour.
It was tiring not just physically, but also ntally and vocally.
But the outco was indeed great. The national tour, riding on previous popularity, earned the company a significant amount of money, and Lin Feifei’s fa increased as well.
The next afternoon, Li Xiang received Lin Feifei’s call, saying she had arrived in Jinghai and asked where he was.
After telling her where he was, Li Xiang took a short leave from Captain Cao.
There were still a few hours before the end of his shift, but Li Xiang didn’t want to linger in the office.
"Go ahead. Oh, by the way, we’re off tomorrow, you don’t need to take the duty this ti."
Cao Gang didn’t ask much, just waved and agreed.
Li Xiang was now highly sought after in their team; since joining the first squad, he had played a crucial role in solving several cases.
Whether it was the staircase death case, Luoyang Reservoir cold case, the grave site body hiding case, or the severed fingers dismbernt case, with Li Xiang’s involvent, the pace of solving cases accelerated drastically.
Especially the Luoyang Reservoir case, which had stalled for fourteen years without determining the source of the body. It was one sentence from Li Xiang, a wake-up call giving a clear investigation direction, that led to a breakthrough in the case.
Such talent had other squads eyeing him, wanting to recruit him, especially the fourth squad whose captain, Guo Dajun, wanted to poach both him and his dog.
Therefore, Cao Gang was keen on retaining Li Xiang in the first squad. As long as his requests didn’t violate principles and discipline, he would basically agree to anything.
"Thanks, Captain Cao."
Tomorrow was the 29th, the first day of the May Day holiday. After Li Xiang finished his work, tidied up his desk, and archived the files, he noted the ti, realizing Lin Feifei was about to arrive. He led iqiu downstairs and waited at the bus stop across the street.
Five minutes later, a red sports car pulled up at the station.
Li Xiang opened the car door and got in.
"Long ti no see, the big star is getting more and more beautiful."
"Woof!" iqiu chid in in agreent.
The two hadn’t t for over two months, and upon eting again, Lin Feifei still gave Li Xiang a stunning impression.
Stars had better image managent than ordinary people, especially now with the weather warming up, everyone’s clothing was gradually getting lighter.
In this regard, stars were always ahead of the curve.
Lin Feifei dressed coolly today, her whole outfit appeared youthful and lively, making it very pleasant to look at.
"Wow, iqiu has grown so much!"
When iqiu was little, Li Xiang couldn’t take it with him on missions and had left it with Lin Feifei for a while, so iqiu still rembered her.
As soon as it got in the car, it tried to squeeze into the driver’s seat, but luckily, Li Xiang held the leash tight, preventing it from succeeding.
"Yeah, this little guy sure has a big appetite now, growing every day. Luckily it’s almost reached adulthood and won’t grow much more."
"Where should we go?"
"Let’s walk around Tis Square a bit. It’s still early for dinner."
"Okay."
Tis Square was essentially the starting point of their relationship, ho to many of their mories, and one of the few places Lin Feifei was familiar with in Jinghai City.
After reaching Tis Square and parking the car, the two got out with the dog. Before stepping out, Lin Feifei put on a baseball cap.
iqiu seed to like Lin Feifei a lot, bringing the leash to her.
Lin Feifei was surprised at iqiu: "Wow, iqiu is so smart now!"
"Yeah, iqiu is amazing, it recently helped the police solve a few major cases."
"Really? How incredible you are."
Upon hearing how aweso iqiu was, Lin Feifei was delighted and hugged it, gently patting its head.
"Woof~" iqiu displayed an expression of enjoynt.
Li Xiang couldn’t stand seeing a dog having a better ti than him, so he suggested: "Don’t hug it anymore, it’s grown and heavy, let it walk."
"Alright then, let’s walk."
Lin Feifei agreed, realizing iqiu was heavier than before, and set it down.
"Whimper~"
Being held was so nice, and just because of the owner’s words, the delightful experience ended.
iqiu let out a dissatisfied whimper.
"Now that the previous busy streak is over, it probably won’t be as exhausting, right?"
"Yeah, with the tour over, I can rest a bit and get ready for my new song. The company set up so opportunities to shoot magazine covers and take on ad endorsents."
"Wow, taking ads ans a lot of money, right?"
"Not too bad. You should know, the big chunk always goes to the company. I’m just a worker, perhaps slightly better off than an ordinary employee, maybe considered a high-class worker. Aren’t police officers paid well?"
"Yeah, better than auxiliary police!"
Switching to a full-fledged officer did increase his salary, and there were bonuses for solving cases. Last month, he earned over ten thousand, his first ti reaching that amount. Reflecting on his three years as an auxiliary police officer earning two thousand eight a month for the toughest, most exhausting chores, one realizes how unfair comparisons can be.
