Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

As Su Xuan was about to follow the two individuals who had separated, his shoulder was suddenly tapped.

In a state of nervous tension, he instinctively attempted a takedown…

But his attempt was promptly blocked by the person behind him.

The person who tapped him drew in a sharp breath and hurriedly spoke up.

“Wait a moment, colleague, colleague!”

The voice had a somewhat familiar ring to it.

In the midst of his tension, Su Xuan relaxed his grip.

He turned around and, upon seeing a familiar figure rubbing his wrist with an amazed look in his eyes, he recognized the person.

“S-Su Xuan, I never would have guessed!”

“You look so frail, but you’ve got quite the strength!”

The person speaking was a fellow officer from the Criminal Investigation

Department who had crossed paths with Su Xuan before.

Upon seeing this officer, Su Xuan squinted his eyes.

“Are you here to tail Tang Jiajia?”

“Yes.”

Although Su Xuan had been the one to apprehend the woman, the officer didn’t want to reveal too much information to him.

It just so happened that he had been tailing Tang Jiajia when he noticed that someone else was tailing her as well…

So the officer had come over to investigate.

And to his surprise, it was Su Xuan!

“After Tang Jiajia was taken to our Criminal Investigation Department, she was incredibly tight-lipped.”

“We didn’t have much choice, and we couldn’t detain her for too long, so we let her go.”

“We just didn’t expect to run into you…”

As he spoke, the officer looked at Su Xuan.

“You didn’t follow her because you recognized her as a suspect you arrested, did you?”

“No,” Su Xuan shook his head, “It’s really just a coincidence.”

“I was having a meal with a colleague, and I saw the person Tang Jiajia had met in the condiment area.”

“I felt something was off about him, and just as I was watching, Tang Jiajia approached him.”

The officer raised an eyebrow, clearly intrigued.

Before he could say anything, Su Xuan had already pulled Zhang Chenglong away.

“Well, since you guys are keeping an eye on her, I’ll leave it to you.”

“I’m on vacation.”

“We’re going to head out,” Su Xuan continued, “We’re not getting involved.”

“It’s been a while since we had a break, don’t you want to go home and see your wife and kids?”

“Actually, I’ve been thinking about going back to my hometown for a visit…”

Zhang Chenglong was momentarily stunned. His mind, previously preoccupied with the possibility of encountering a criminal, suddenly shifted gears.

“That makes sense, you’re right. 1 almost forgot.”

“These recent weeks have been so hectic, my wife is on the verge of scolding me…”

“Today’s a day off for me, so you go take a stroll and I’ll have a chat with your sister-in-law.”

“She scolded me just a few days ago…”

Zhang Chenglong’s words didn’t register fully with Su Xuan. Although Zhang had left, Su Xuan was lost in thought.

Why would the Criminal Investigation Division release Tang Jiajia? Could it really be that simple?

But this thought quickly circled in his mind and was soon dismissed.

Never mind.

Just as he had told Zhang, it was no longer his concern.

As promised, Su Xuan returned to the county town in the afternoon.

Jiangcheng Police Station.

“Talk to me, give me an explanation!”

“It’s been over a week, why are we still receiving reports from the public?”
