I am the police, you are the thief (4)

Tongzi: Thank you, Dad. I’m your son too.

“Boss, you all have sons already, huh?” Qin Xing made full use of his playful nature.

“Miss Gu?” Wen Gu looked equally baffled.

“You two, could you give me and Wen Gu some space?” Zhao He didn’t answer him. Instead, she turned to Qin Xing and said.

“Oh… oh… go ahead, talk.” Qin Xing was stunned for a moment, exchanged glances with his colleague, and quickly got out of the car, leaving space for the boss and his girlfriend?

“Miss Gu wants to be alone with me?” Wen Gu felt inexplicably nervous. Zhao He’s gaze seemed to be sizing him up—as if she were looking at an old friend she hadn’t seen in years…

Strange, why do I feel this way?

“Wen Gu, do you have any strange memories?” Zhao He looked at him, her tone unusually serious, not at all like her usual teasing.

“What strange memories?” Wen Gu thought the girl in front of him looked just like he did during interrogations.

“I’ll help you investigate this case. When it’s over, I hope you’ll lend me your body for a little investigation.” Zhao He finished speaking, not waiting for Wen Gu’s reaction, opened the car door, and darted off.

My body?? Are girls nowadays always so direct?!

Wen Gu felt his face grow warm. Twenty-six years of singlehood, and now he’d been flirted with by a criminal suspect he’d once jotted down in his notebook?

“Boss, your face… it’s red?” Qin Xing looked at Wen Gu’s face and laughed, a mischievous smile spreading.

“Cut the nonsense. Keep watching.” With that, Wen Gu got out of the car too.

Wen Gu’s gaze quietly followed Zhao He in the distance.

She could uncover his internal files in one night and confidently claimed she could help him catch Cui Mingyi’s gang. Who was the person behind her?

——

“Tongzi, monitor Cui Mingyi’s computer and all his calls at all times.”

“Yes, Dad!” Tongzi quickly hacked the target’s computer and phone, silently collecting all information. “Dad, do you want the master’s body??”

Although I’m working with Dad now, my heart still belongs to the master…

“What, worried I’ll bully him?” Zhao He didn’t notice anything unusual…

“No, I think you’re perfect together!” If Dad and the master end up together, I won’t have to worry about whom to follow in the future.

Tongzi even wanted to play matchmaker for them.

Recently, Cui Mingyi had been deliberately avoiding Cui Yu while handling certain matters. Normally, Cui Yu wouldn’t interfere, but things were different now—the police watched closely.

“Dad,” Cui Yu burst into Cui Mingyi’s office just as his adoptive father hid another shipment, “Why haven’t I heard about these recent shipments?”

The room was dimly lit. Cui Mingyi sat at his desk, his face barely visible. “Your brother is handling it. You don’t need to get involved.”

Cui Yu’s heart sank. He knew precisely how capable his brother Cui Liang was. Shipping goods during a crackdown was risky.

“Dad, Cui Liang—” Before Cui Yu could finish, Cui Mingyi interrupted, “I said you don’t need to worry. Take care of your own business first.”

“Yes.”

Cui Yu sensed trouble. His adoptive father had always wanted him to connect with the Liu family’s daughter, but he never showed interest. Was this dissatisfaction?

At this moment, Cui Yu didn’t suspect that Cui Mingyi knew about Li Yun.

On the other side, Cui Mingyi stared at photos on his computer screen, deep in thought: If there’s an accident, just eliminate it.

The computer’s glow cast a sinister light on his face, intensifying his murderous look.

Watching Cui Mingyi through the system, Zhao He smiled gleefully—she’d prompted Cui Mingyi to target Li Yun early.

An immature male lead, a heroine in need of protection, and a supporting male ready to replace the hero at any moment—what a spectacle.

“I’m basically helping the country rid itself of pests,” Zhao He sprawled on her bed, limbs splayed, “I wonder if Wen Gu and the others will give me a Good Citizen Award.”

“Dad, if they don’t know you’re the one behind the recent luxury thefts at the mall, it’s possible.” Tongzi analyzed seriously.

“I only did it to upgrade you.” Zhao He glanced around at the bags scattered across the room. She was truly happy. Just looking at them cheered her up. Bags cure all ailments.

While Zhao He secretly followed Cui Liang and Cui Mingyi every day, Cui Yu and Li Yun were busy themselves, sweetly dating as usual.

“Ayu, I feel like I’ve seen you before…” Li Yun looked at Cui Yu in his black hoodie and suddenly remembered the boy who’d been beaten up at the corner. The scene was unforgettable.

“Really?”

“Downstairs at the convenience store… A girl said she was pregnant…” The more Li Yun looked, the more Cui Yu resembled that boy.

“Ugh, that lunatic—I don’t know him.” Cui Yu recalled the incident, gritting his teeth.

Li Yun saw Cui Yu’s expression and said nothing more, but she still felt something was off, even though she trusted her boyfriend.

“Yunyun, I’ve been busy with work lately. Please be careful going to and from work. I won’t be able to come by often.” Cui Yu thought about Cui Mingyi’s arrangements and couldn’t help but worry.

“Okay.” Li Yun agreed obediently.

After a bout of affectionate chatter, Cui Yu left Li Yun’s apartment.

Once Cui Yu’s car drove away in the underground garage, two people wearing masks and janitor uniforms immediately entered the elevator.

“Ding dong~ ding dong~” After Cui Yu left, Li Yun, just about to lie down and rest again, heard the doorbell.

“Did Ayu forget something?” Li Yun quickly got up to open the door.

“Hm~ who are you…?” She barely had time to speak before the people outside rushed in, pressed a prepared handkerchief over her mouth and nose, and within a minute, Li Yun was unconscious.

Watching the hallway surveillance, Zhao He internally cursed: “This heroine has zero awareness of danger!”

“Tongzi, hack their surveillance feeds!” Zhao He decided to do a good deed.

“Dad, if this shipment goes out, we’ll have food and drink for the whole year.” Cui Liang squinted with delight as he looked at Cui Mingyi.

“Mm, better to be careful.” Cui Mingyi looked around at the containers. The river wind was strong, howling as it passed through the stacks.

Cui Liang pulled his dark coat tighter and took a deep breath through his broad nose. “Don’t worry, my people are scattered all around.”

“Boss, we’ve got the target.” The first words Cui Mingyi heard as he answered the phone.

“Then take care of it. Make sure it’s clean.” Cui Mingyi was cold, as if disposing of a chicken.

“Dad, has someone gotten into trouble lately?” Cui Liang, listening nearby, was curious.

“Just a small matter.” Clearly, Cui Mingyi didn’t care about it.

From afar, Zhao He watched, shivering in the cold wind, grumbling to Tongzi, “I wonder how the male lead will find out the heroine’s in trouble?”
