Su Jianan didn't know if it was her imagination, but she always felt that the days were passing by so fast.
In a blink of an eye, it's already Friday.
Luo Xiaoxi went all the way and won the weekly championship of "Super Model Contest" for the fifth time. She scored far behind other contestants and was sure to win.
In her words, she is too lazy to celebrate.
As the scores became higher and higher, so did Luo Xiaoxi's popularity.
Her Weibo fans are increasing day by day. After her weekly live broadcast, she always gets some page space and a lot of topics the next day.
She is becoming popular with an excellent momentum. Both Candy and the agency are very happy, but Su Yicheng's brows are getting darker and darker - red means busy. Luo Xiaoxi couldn't find him before, but now he wants to talk to Luo Xiaoxi. Xiao Xi has made an appointment.
On Saturday, new clues were discovered in Wang Hong's case. Team Yan's team, as well as Su Jian'an and Jiang Shaokai, were all called back to the police station to work overtime.
Although this case was dropped, Su Jianan always remembered to look for clues whenever he had time. Unexpectedly, Team Yan discovered new clues at this time.
The people in the office were extremely busy, but in the end their efforts were in vain. There was still no definite evidence to arrest Dongzi.
When it gets dark, the entire office, except for the bright incandescent lights, is filled with sighs.
"That kid is so cunning." An old criminal police officer commented on Dongzi, "The lawyer we hired is also cunning. It's basically impossible for us to get anything out of him."
"But the longer the case is delayed, the fewer clues we can find." Xiaoying put her chin in her hands in distress, "What should I do?"
"Keep going!" Captain Yan came back with a few files and looked solemn, "Handle the more urgent cases, but don't forget this murderous case. Don't give up on the investigation before you retire!"
Team Yan has always had this attitude towards unsolved cases. He agreed with Xiaoying that time would lead to the loss of clues. But there are no absolutes in the world, and some clues just take some time to emerge.
"It's getting late. Let's get off work today and go back early to rest." With that said, Captain Yan walked straight to his independent office without any sign of getting off work.
"You guys go back first." Xiaoying, who was halfway up, sat down on his seat again, "I still have some things on hand. I will work overtime with Captain Yan!"
Su Jian'an and other colleagues looked at each other and smiled. They already understood, took their things and left the office one after another.
Because she had to call Lu Boyan, Su Jianan was the last one to leave.
As soon as she left the police station, a figure that was not familiar but that she could recognize at a glance fell into her eyes -
Tall and strong figure, long black windbreaker, dark temperament that almost blends into the night, who is it not Kang Ruicheng
"What a coincidence." Kang Ruicheng came over, shielded himself from the wind with his hands, lit a cigarette with his head slightly tilted, took a puff and held it between his fingers, "Are you working overtime today?"
Su Jianan's voice was cold, "Thanks to your brother."
As soon as she finished speaking, Dongzi walked over from a distance, his eyes wandering back and forth over her body.
If it weren't for this woman, Kang Ruicheng probably wouldn't have gone to the police station to pick him up.
What he couldn't understand was, apart from her beauty and harmless temperament, what else was attractive about this woman
Su Jianan was not used to being looked at like goods, so she looked away and glanced at the road - Lu Boyan hadn't arrived yet.
Kang Ruicheng gave Dongzi a hard nudge with his elbow and said in a sharp and fierce tone: "What are you looking at! Didn't you see that you scared people?"
Dongzi endured the dull pain in his ribs and bowed to Su Jianan, "Miss Su, I'm sorry."
"Chen Haodong, how did you do it?" Su Jianan stared at Dongzi with burning eyes, "All signs point to you killing Wang Hong, but you didn't leave any evidence?"
“…”
If it had been anyone else, Dongzi would have taken action long ago. But Kang Ruicheng was too special to this woman, so Dongzi had no choice but to look at Kang Ruicheng and ask for permission with his eyes - he didn't have the guts to touch the person Kang Ruicheng was interested in yet.
Kang Ruicheng signaled Dongzi to be silent and smiled softly: "Maybe you are wrong? Since there is no direct evidence, it means that your target is wrong. Why not find someone else to suspect? Also, Wang Hong is an orphan. He No one cares about how he died or what happened after his death. Why do you waste so many resources and police force on his case?"
"Orphans are human beings too." Su Jianan's cold expression showed a touch of alienation, "Wang Hong has the same legal rights and obligations as you. We will definitely investigate this case to the end." Her eyes slowly moved to Dongzi, In one sentence, "We will never allow the murderer to go unpunished."
This time, there was a touch of disdain in Kang Ruicheng's laughter, "You are young, but you are still too naive. Let me tell you, there are many things that you will not get results even if you try your best throughout your life. For example, Wang Hong's case , it is destined to become an unsolved case."
Su Jianan looked fearlessly into Kang Ruicheng's wolf-like eyes, "I don't believe it."
I do not believe…
Once upon a time, someone said these three words to Kang Ruicheng so stubbornly.
Kang Ruicheng stared at Su Jian'an intently and said casually: "Suddenly it feels a bit like it."
Su Jianan didn't understand, but Dongzi did.
Dongzi felt a shiver in his heart and walked up, "Brother, let's go back."
Kang Ruicheng remained motionless and slowly stretched out his hand to touch Su Jianan's face -
Su Jianan's face changed, and she resisted like never before. Just as she was about to avoid it, a slender and powerful arm crossed her shoulder and firmly grasped Kang Ruicheng's hand.
Before she could react, Su Jianan was pulled behind him by Lu Boyan.
Lu Boyan looked calm on the surface, but in fact his hands were very strong. Even a ruthless person like Mu Sijue would have frowned if he held him like this.
Kang Ruicheng, however, remained calm and said, "Who are you? You want to act like a hero and save the beauty?"
Dongzi was silently ashamed, walked up and whispered to Kang Ruicheng: "This is Lu Boyan, Su Jianan's husband."
Kang Ruicheng's wolf-like eyes flashed with a sinister look, and his gaze was fixed on Lu Boyan's face -
Lu Boyan... Lu Boyan... Lu...
How come it looks so familiar
"Who are you?" Kang Ruicheng's eyes were only sharp.
Dongzi almost knelt down.
It’s been said that that is Lu Boyan, Su Jianan’s husband. Is the boss’s brain a fool or does he have a hearing problem
"Stop pestering my wife." Lu Boyan warned Kang Ruicheng in a cold voice, "Otherwise, I will tell you to go back to your home."
Kang Ruicheng recovered from the familiar shock and smiled, "Have you investigated me? Then I will tell you clearly -" he pointed at Su Jianan, "I am bound to get your wife."
"You'd better be so capable." Lu Boyan took Su Jianan's hand and looked back slightly when he left, with a cold look on his brows, "I'm waiting for you."
He took Su Jianan down the stairs and got into the car. The black car quickly drove onto the road and merged into the endless traffic flow.
Just like last time, Lu Boyan always held Su Jianan's hand firmly, without even loosening his strength, and his eyes were so heavy that it was hard to understand.
Su Jianan struggled: "Ba Yan?"
This time, Lu Boyan quickly came to his senses and hugged Su Jianan into his arms: "Go somewhere with me tomorrow."
"Okay." Su Jian'an felt that she should explain, "Just now, I didn't expect to meet Kang Ruicheng. I wanted to come out and wait for you."
"Leave Kangruicheng to me." Lu Boyan said, "No matter what happens to him in the future, just ignore him, okay?"
Su Jianan believed Lu Boyan 100%, nodded, hugged Lu Boyan's arm and tilted her head on his shoulder, "I didn't want to talk to him at first."
At the door of the police station, Kang Ruicheng was still looking at the direction where Lu Boyan's car disappeared, his eyes becoming more and more weird.
This feeling of familiarity is unprecedented.
There is a memory that seems to be covered in dust and is ready to come out at this moment...
A chill ran down Dongzi's spine. Don't tell him that the boss's goal has changed. He has set his sights on Lu Boyan...
"Investigating Lu Boyan, I want to see his detailed information before noon tomorrow." Kang Ruicheng suddenly said, "Especially, his family background."
"Returnees from overseas," Dongzi said, "Last time I checked, it seems that Lu Boyan's family came to live in the United States when he was a teenager. His company was also initially opened in the United States, and later the headquarters was moved to the United States. Located in City A.”
"I don't need to know this." Kang Ruicheng said, "The focus is on checking his parents."
"Parents...?" Dongzi looked at Kang Ruicheng in shock and doubt, and intuitively told him something was wrong, "Brother, what's wrong? Are you related to this Lu Boyan?"
Kang Ruicheng smiled: "Maybe he is my 'old friend'."
Dongzi understood instantly.
Old friend? There is no such thing in Kang Ruicheng's life.
He only has old enemies.
"I'll start investigating as soon as I get back." As he said that, Dongzi's cell phone rang. He looked at the caller ID, the sharpness on his face softened, and he handed the phone to Kang Ruicheng, "It's Xiao Yu."
Kang Ruicheng's expression also softened, he answered the phone, and a calm child's voice came from the receiver: "Dad..."
Ten minutes later, Kang Ruicheng hung up the phone and returned the phone to Dongzi.
"Brother, look... why don't we take Xiao Yu back to China?" Dongzi said, "He is only four years old, so how pitiful is it to leave him to a nanny to stay in the United States? I heard that the child is... It’s when parents are needed the most.”
For a moment, Kang Ruicheng couldn't help but feel his heart beat.
But the next second, that kind of heartbeat was suppressed by him very well.
"So what if I take him back? I'll have time to spend with him? Also, it's not safe in the country. Once it's revealed that he is my son, how many people will target him?"
"There are so many of us, how can we not care about a child?" Dongzi didn't believe it, "He is your biological son, but why do you seem to have abandoned him..."
"Shut up!" Kang Ruicheng shouted sternly, "He is the only child I left to the Kang family. In this life, he only needs to stay abroad to grow up, marry a wife and have children. Come back to me, don't even think about it! He shouldn't have let him go in the first place. He knows I’m his father!”
Dongzi didn't dare to say anything more, let alone sigh and say the child was pitiful.
The child is already three years old, but Kang Ruicheng has spent less than three months with him in total.
But it is true that blood is thicker than water, and the child is still particularly close to him.
It's not that Kang Ruicheng doesn't love this child, it's that he can't.
He couldn't let outsiders know that he had a son, couldn't take the child out openly, and couldn't even get too close to the child.
And being born as Kang Ruicheng's son, Xiao Yu was destined not to grow up in a normal environment. (To be continued)
