Should Geng Dong clash with him, he’d be foolish or reckless.

”Just saw that bartender was quite good-looking.”

”Might come here often for fun.”

...

Amidst drinking and joking, Geng Dong held his glass, deep in thought.

”Heard there’s another big crackdown in a few days?” Suddenly, he spoke, the woman leaning against him instantly sensed something amiss.

”Seems like it. Reports say it’s the last specific operation before the activity ends, so some bars close to avoid risk altogether, only Fourth Master backed by the Si Family remains unaffected, his place always clean, never encountering issues.”

A few days ago, Jiang Chengsi shared photos of himself and his girlfriend enjoying a trip on social media, spreading around the circles.

Someone commented below, asking when he’d bring his partner back to Beijing, suggesting they should drink and eat together.

Jiang Chengsi bluntly replied, ”[Currently not available.]”

Thus confirming he wouldn’t return to Beijing soon.

Geng Dong drank his glass in one gulp, the gleam in his eyes sinister.

The woman beside him, pondering internally, figured that if Geng Dong genuinely sought trouble with Jiang Chengsi, getting caught would mean his doom.

Under such circumstances, being involved with him might lead to her own entanglement.

He had some family wealth, fearlessly relying on it.

But she ought to secure herself a way out.

At this time, Lin Luyou received a call from the station chief, asking how her recovery was going.

”Alright, thanks for your concern.” Lin Luyou spoke to the chief, naturally with courtesy.

”Your tone suggests Shiyi took good care of you.”

Lin Luyou paused, how did it come to this, ”Chief, what are you talking about...”

”I might be a bit older, but neither blind nor deaf, your situation isn’t just known throughout the station but even by the old man guarding the entrance.”

”...”

”Besides, his leave reasoning was taking care of you. Did he fool me and not do it?”

”Not really.” Lin Luyou had no idea Jiang Shiyi used such a bizarre excuse for leave.

”Soon, the entire city will have a crack down; the station hopes for our cooperation. You know, most at our station are seniors...” The chief’s call insinuated something else.

”You want me to go?”

”Actually it’s nothing urgent, they do the searches, and we assist in sampling or urine tests if necessary. This time covers a broad scope, they’re lacking personnel, wanting a few from us.”

”When?”

”In three days, is your body up for it? It’s just one night, two to three hours, with no emergencies, you can resume your break post-activity.”

”Alright.” Lin Luyou was accustomed to work; suddenly idle, just those few days made her feel lazy and lethargic.

Her daily routine was eating, drinking, and sleeping, never realizing her yearning for sleep was so intense.

Even Jiang Shiyi jokingly queried if she planned to make up for all those years’ lost sleep.

Perhaps inactivity rendered her easily fatigued, a need for some work to keep herself busy.

She informed Jiang Shiyi of it, he merely acknowledged, knowing it was just a brief task; the police led the operation, she just assisted, with minimal risk.

”Oh, I forgot to tell you about something.”

”What?” Lin Luyou looked at him.

”Your sister-in-law called when you were asleep. I said you’d get back to her when you wake.”

”Tang Wan?” Lin Luyou frowned, thinking about owing her favors from the hospital scenario, wanting to repay, she immediately checked her phone.

Then noticed...

Tang Wan called two nights ago, two, three days have passed, yet he only just remembered to tell her.

”Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”

”Forgot,” he argued confidently.

Lin Luyou was frustrated, ”Did you deliberately do this?” How Tang Wan might perceive her now.

”Not at all.” Jiang Shiyi said directly, ”She just wanted to invite you to go shopping or something, nothing significant, hence...”

”I didn’t concern myself with it.”

”Plus, during that time, what occupied my mind was your health.”

”...”

His remark made Lin Luyou speechless.

So Tang Wan received a response three days after calling Lin Luyou...
