After Liu Jia led a group of heavily armed staff into the room, everything fell into place!

Liu Tao was taken away by the relevant authorities for investigation. It probably won't take long before all the money he swindled is recovered and returned to the victims.

Zhao Tienan and Li Qian were also taken in for questioning, but their involvement in the case was minimal, essentially just a formality. They were released not long after.

Even though the two left the authorities together, there was no communication between them.

Li Qian didn't even glance at Zhao Tienan, directly hailed a taxi, and soon disappeared from Zhao Tienan's view.

"Still watching?"

"Zhao Tienan, you're in a daze. What, are you reluctant to let her go?"

At this moment, Liu Jia walked over, blocking Zhao Tienan's view while asking with a hint of jealousy.

"Reluctant about what?"

"I warn you, don't talk nonsense. I just think that woman is a bit pitiful, being deceived by that bastard Liu Tao for over six years, wasting the best years of her youth."

"By the way, this time I was brave for a just cause and contributed significantly to the authorities' arrest, right? Can I get a 2000 yuan bonus for this?"

Zhao Tienan casually brushed off the question, then skillfully changed the subject.

He wasn't even sure why, but whenever Liu Jia got jealous, he instinctively felt the need to explain himself.

But in reality, they were completely innocent with each other, having no relationship at all, so there was no need to explain to anyone.

"Tch, uneducated."

"That's called a bonus, not a red packet!"

"However, Zhao Tienan, you did a great job this time..."

Liu Jia pursed her lips as she spoke slowly.

Initially, she thought Zhao Tienan would hold them back, but never expected his role to far exceed her expectations.

For instance, today, without Zhao Tienan's full-throttle chase, the authorities would never have caught Liu Tao so easily.

Unknowingly, Liu Jia's impression of Zhao Tienan improved by a notch.

"Alright, you stay busy then. It's getting late, I should head back."

"When the bonus comes through, Zhu Hong and I will take you out for dinner."

Zhao Tienan didn't dwell on it much, after all, the matter had been resolved, and that was of utmost importance.

It shouldn't be long before the money that Zhu Hong was swindled out of will be recovered.

This time, it was thanks to Liu Jia's mediation, so from this perspective, Zhao Tienan and Zhu Hong really ought to properly thank her.

"Hmph, at least you have a conscience!"

"By the way, Zhao Tienan, what's your relationship with Zhu Hong? I feel there's something off about the looks you two exchange. You're not just ordinary friends, are you?"

Due to her professional instincts, Liu Jia was sharp-eyed and promptly asked with great seriousness.

"You better not misunderstand..."

Zhao Tienan instinctively wanted to clarify but then suddenly felt something wasn't right, so he quickly changed tack: "Yeah, you're right, our relationship isn't that simple."

"Tell me, does the engagement we agreed upon when we were kids still count? If it doesn't, I'm going to marry Zhu Hong, and then you won't even have the chance to be the second wife!"
