Chapter 600: She Isn’t Blind, She’s Dead

“Now that the case is solved, it will be easier for that kid to lead the team. I can rest assured now.” The professor put down the weapon and heaved a sigh of relief.

Feng Shanshan suddenly understood why Tang Yan had been working day and night these days. Apparently, he was building up prestige in the team.

“Officer Tang is already very strong.” Mu Qiqi smiled.

Whether it was the ability to lead the team, investigate the cases, or his attention to detail and fighting skills, during the short period of him working here, Tang Yan had already proved his worthiness and that he could be trusted.

“Officer Tang’s inviting everyone to go out for a drink tonight.” An analyst in the team shouted happily.

“Are you two going?” The professor cocked his eyebrows. “You can eat something if you don’t want to drink, just to give him face.”

“Of course I’ll go. Why shouldn’t I?” Feng Shanshan had to let that man treat her to a feast after getting so tired last night.

“I’ll consider it a wish for your success in your exams in advance. Don’t fail!”

Soon, a big group set off toward the bar. The forensics team sat together, and the rest of the policemen gathered at another table. They were all men, so a woman’s drinking capacity might not be able to compete with theirs.

“Officer Tang, welcome to the criminal investigation team as the leader! Let’s give him a toast.”

Seeing this, Feng Shanshan rolled her eyes. “If I knew this earlier, I would have just gone back to sleep.”

Mu Qiqi said, “I’ve called Xiaoxiao. My car will come in a while…”

“What about me after you leave?” Feng Shanshan pointed at her own nose and asked.

“Don’t you live next door to Tang Yan? Get him to send you back.” Mu Qiqi smiled, showing her dimples.

Feng Shanshan was startled and glanced at the next table. Tang Yan was drinking, but he did not show any signs of getting drunk, so she could not estimate his drinking capacity.

“Officer Tang, do you really have no girlfriend? Or you are hiding a woman in your house without letting us know?” The team members roared.

“Yeah, Officer Tang, if you really don’t have one, let us introduce you to some girls. I know many beautiful ladies.”

“You are a man. How can you not have a woman? What do you all think?”

“My current interest lies in solving cases.” Tang Yan gave a clean answer. “So, extinguish all your ideas of setting me up on a date.”

“Tsk-tsk. Officer Tang, don’t tell me you’re a …?”

They looked at him in doubt and shock.

Could it be that Officer Tang, who was not close to women, gay?

Hearing this, Feng Shanshan chuckled. If he was gay, then there wouldn’t be any other man in this world, since he had worked so hard last night.

“No.” Tang Yan replied very simply.

“That’s great. You nearly scared us to death.”

Soon after, Mu Qiqi’s car pulled up at the entrance of the bar, so she quickly said goodbye to everyone as she was going back to rest. So, Feng Shanshan was the only woman left.

“I’ll go home too,” Feng Shanshan said to the professor, as she could not stand staying with a group of men.

The professor glanced at Tang Yan once. Seeing him not flinching a bit, he gave up, and said to Feng Shanshan, “Then you should be careful.”

“I know.”

Feng Shanshan got up from her seat. Without talking to Tang Yan, she went straight out and took a cab back home. But only when she arrived at home, she realized that the keys were with Tang Yan.

If she knew this earlier, she would not have acted tough. Now, she could only wait in the cold winter at the door.

She could not blame Officer Tang for this. After all, she was the one who refused to get the keys duplicated.

But it was winter, the coldest season of the year. Feng Shanshan could not stand the bitter cold after waiting for half an hour, so she called Tang Yan. “Can’t you come home earlier? The keys are with you.”

“Alright,” Tang Yan answered.

“I’m so cold.”

“I’m driving.” Tang Yan ended the call.

Driving? Didn’t he drink alcohol just now?

Thinking of this, Feng Shanshan was worried. When she saw Tang Yan get out of his off-road vehicle, she said, “How dare you drive under the influence of alcohol as a law enforcement officer?”

“Who told you that?” Tang Yan asked.

“You drank just now.”

“I have been drinking plain water,” said Tang Yan. “Don’t run away alone next time. I told you to duplicate the keys, but you are too lazy to do it.”

“Who am I to you that I must have the keys to your house?” Feng Shanshan snorted. “You are such an unpleasant person. Apart from your skills on the bed, I don’t know why your ex fell for you. Is she blind?”

“She isn’t blind. She’s dead.”

Hearing the word ‘dead’, Feng Shanshan was shocked.

Was Tang Yan telling her his story? But before Feng Shanshan could respond, Tang Yan was already getting ready to go out with his baggage. “I’m going out for a few days. You sit for your exams properly.”

“Where to?”

“There’s a team asking me to join them in investigating a case. I’m going there now as police backup,” Tang Yan answered.

“Only you?”

“Only me.”

Tang Yan did not mention the danger or anything about this case. Feng Shanshan felt that this man was not related to her, so she did not ask further. What for?

It’s just that after Tang Yan drove away, Feng Shanshan suddenly thought about what happened last night. Did he get so intense because he knew he was leaving today?

Thinking of this, Feng Shanshan’s face suddenly turned red.

…

Late at night, in Banyan Courtyard.

After hearing what happened to Grandpa Sheng, Papa Sheng and Mama Sheng sighed. Mama Sheng felt especially emotional because she really hated Grandpa Sheng before. But after knowing the hardship he had gone through, she was finally pacified.

“It serves him right to suffer so much. We didn’t know that Sheng Kai could turn into a monstrous character. It’s so horrible.”

“Now, only Third Brother is left to support the Sheng family. Pity him.” Papa Sheng sighed.

“Do you want to go back?”

“Impossible. I prefer my job now. I want to live for myself.” Papa Sheng waved his hands quickly. “I just feel that Third Brother is too soft and Second Brother is too strong. He will cause trouble sooner or later.”

“Do you think our son cannot predict this if even you can?” Mama Sheng chuckled. “Alright, let’s rest. Don’t delay the two children any longer.” Mama Sheng patted Papa Sheng’s shoulder.

After living there for so long, Mama Sheng rarely walked out of her room after nightfall, fearing that she might bump into them during their intimate moments.

Because she understood his son. He always asked for hugs and kisses.

“You’re quite conscious, Mother.”

“Because you act too casually in front of Mother.” Mu Qiqi glared at him.

Sheng Xiao pulled Mu Qiqi onto his lap. “I told you I’m going to reward you tonight.”

“I don’t want it. You’re just rewarding yourself!” Mu Qiqi harrumphed.

“You’re too courageous to scorn me. Therefore, I’ve decided. It’ll be on the sofa tonight. I want to play a shameful game with you!”
