Capital City's airport, arrival terminal.
As usual, the VIP lounge was desolate of people. Only a few staff mbers and wandering passersby could be seen. One or two n with suits were sitting on the sofas with small suitcases by their feet, talking to their phones while checking on the ti
Then, the double door that was usually closed was pushed open, followed by a smiling and bowing staff. "We hope you have a pleasant day, Mr. Jin."
The man who strode out was very eye-catching. His height was already a cheat. Coupled with the proportional body, taut skin filled with muscles, narrow waist, long legs covered in black boots, he attracted everyone's gazes. But the related person didn't seem to care. Huge, black sunglasses hung on his nose, and the chin and lips that were exposed looked particularly cold and indifferent.
.
He led a bunch of people behind him, all wearing casual backpacks and black sunglasses, like a group of wealthy second generation young masters who had just co back from a vacation. Fortunately, they were all wearing casual shirts and not suits or else the scene would look like one that ca out of MIB[1].
Outside, there was already an off road Jeep that was waiting, a petite woman with light brown curls that reached her waist was leaning on the car, her eyes unfocused as if she was in a daze.
Upon seeing her, the tall man on the very front instantly quickened his steps, leaving the tails following him behind. He arrived in front of the woman in less than three seconds and pushed up his sunglasses, showing a pair of black, sharp eyes and straight eyebrows. His lips curled into a faint smirk. "Sorry to make you wait." A low, pleasant male voice drawled out like a lazy Persian cat.
The woman took a glance and only grunted. She threw the car key which was easily caught by the man. "Five more minutes and I would have left."
Jin Renguang chuckled, as if he had gotten used to her cynical remark. Using the advantage of his large body and tall height, he blocked her from everyone's eyes and leaned forward, his lips moved to whisper into her ear, "Not missing ?"
Ru iqi snorted, "Not even a bit."
She pushed him away ruthlessly and climbed onto the passenger seat.
Instead of being angry, Jin Renguang seed to be in a better mood. His exhaustion and irritation these past few days seed to have been wiped away after seeing her.
Subsequently, behind him, Tang Wei, Ke Shao and every mber of SCI Squad arrived. "Senior Ru! It's been a long ti!"
"Thank you for coming to et us!"
"Ah, I am starving!"
"I'd prefer to sleep rather than eat though..."
Ru iqi rolled down the window. Her expression was contrastly different from how it was when she faced Jin Renguang. A friendly smile hung on her lips. "Then, shall we eat first? What would you like?"
The group of tired as dog n chorused, "Hotpot!"
In such a cold, overcast weather, eating sothing hot and spicy would always be the best.
Jin Renguang used to live in the Capital before. It was because he was assigned to the serial murder case that he moved from place to place, chasing the culprit from City S, City A then back to the Capital.
He drove them to a famous hotpot place and opened a private room. They had been tortured by paperworks for the past few days because of Ru iqi's suggestion of making Wu Wengen's death public, then threw the bla to the serial killer's head.
It was indeed her idea, but Jin Renguang took the full bla. He was even berated by Director Fen Huiguan and thoroughly disciplined until he had psychological shadow when he neared the latter's office. In the end, the whole squad was punished to write endless reports and after Jin Renguang convinced Director Fen by placing his job on the line, he was finally liberated. It caused their move to be postponed until today.
The voracious n didn't hold back any longer. They drained their Captain's wallet and the restaurant's foodstock, causing the manager to be so scared that he broke out in cold sweat and fearfully gave them free coupons to satisfy their craving.
Jin Renguang almost laughed in anger. He threw the at into the boiling hotpot and grinded his teeth. "You rascals! Did I not feed you these past few days?!"
"Captain, you don't understand." Ke Shao huffed as he munched heartily, white mist blowing out of his mouth. "It's exactly because you're treating that it becos more delicious."
"Yes, that's right!" Tang Wei had even taken off his glasses, turning him from an unattractive bookish nerd to a wide eyed young man that looked a bit childish. "We should eat as much as possible before we continue to work!"
Jin Renguang snorted and placed so cooked pieces of at into Ru iqi's bowl which the woman finished in a blink of an eye. She was so fast and didn't lose out to the group of n. Heck, if she was slower, then everything would be gone in an instant!
Captain Jin was subsequently ignored and only when the group was full to the point of bursting did they finally stop.
"I can't…I can't eat anymore...bleurgh!" Tang Wei heaved, pushed his chair back and dashed to the bathroom.
Ke Shao cackled as he bit on a toothpick.
"Full?" Jin Renguang asked softly as he poured the cold tea away and replaced it with a hot one.
Ru iqi nodded, her face relaxing as she enjoyed the Chrysanthemum tea. "Go and pay." She waved her hand lazily.
After feeding his subordinates, Jin Renguang proceeded to drive into the police station. The first thing he asked was, "Where's Xu Binchen and Qin Weizhe?"
"Xu Binchen is taking the evening off." Ru iqi said beside him. "Qin Weizhe is busy with a suicide case in Shi Nian's school."
It was rare for the workaholic Xu Binchen to take half a day off. He was the kind of man who, even if it rained bullets, would still drag his feet to work. "Oh?" Jin Renguang raised his brow, intrigued. "What is Xu Binchen taking the day off for?"
They walked toward the huge eting room and took their seats. "He's taking Shi Nian to school."
Jin Renguang movent halted. He even suspected that he heard wrong. "…What?"
Ru iqi deadpanned, "You heard it right."
Jin Renguang laughed with a smile that didn't reach his eyes. In the end, he didn't comnt. He told everybody in the room. "We will begin the eting after Qin Weizhe and Xu Binchen co back." Then, he turned to Ru iqi, his dark eyes flashing. "Tell about the suicide case in Butterfly's school."
