Chapter 820 - But My Heart Can Only Belong to Her

There were only three photos, all of which obviously took a lot of effort to take.

One of them was a photo of Su Hong wearing a cheongsam and holding a tray. The other two photos showed the profile of a young woman and a middle-aged man.

Sheng Xiao could not understand what was going on, so he sent the photo to Tang Yan.

It seemed that this mystery could only be solved when Xu Che returned..

However, Su Hong discovered that there were intruders in the hotel, so she chased them everywhere and passed the news to Jin Bo.

Jin Bo knew that there was a secret investigation. Apart from Tang Yan and the other people who were in the way, there was no one else.

Initially, he wanted to wait a few days before sending Cheng Bin on stage. But, since the police were so nosy, he should shut them up forever.

..

The next morning, Xu Che returned from J City and arranged things with the other two informants. Due to his injuries, Xu Che’s face looked a little pale.

Sheng Xiao was bandaging his wounds in Zhongteng’s office. He frowned and asked sternly, “What exactly are these photos?”

“A gathering, a dirty gathering. I don’t know how it was organized, who initiated it, and how the cycle was arranged. These people are all accompanied by young girls. I think the previous few cases of Changrong Electronics were all related to events like these.”

“The two informants knew how to cook, so they mixed in with the chefs. That’s how they got close to the private room on the roof. It was too difficult to sneak a photo, so these are the only three they took. We’re probably able to identify the man in the photo, but the three of us may also have been discovered by them.”

“Don’t let anyone know that you’re injured.” Sheng Xiao pressed on his wound and said, “You’ve never been to J City either. You’ve only gone home to visit your family.”

“I understand.” Xu Che gritted his teeth and answered. “How do you plan to deal with this?”

By following that man’s vine, he would be able to find the melon.

However, if what Xu Che said about the enemy having found out about them was true, then he had to be on high alert, and especially the people from the Jianchuan branch office.

Especially... Tang Yan.

Cheng Bin was on the enemy’s side to be used at any moment. It was only a matter of time.

..

After Tang Yan received the photos, he asked the technical analyst to secretly check the identity of the man in the photo. When the analyst saw the result, he was a little shocked and did not dare to say anything. He only quietly went to Tang Yan’s office and told him the results.

After Tang Yan heard it, his expression became very serious. He only said to the analyst, “For your own safety, don’t tell anyone.”

“I know, but Captain Tang, where did this photo come from?”

“At this point, our police force alone is not enough for investigation. I will ask the higher-ups. You have to take care of this matter. Don’t mention it to anyone, understand?”

“I understand. I will forget about this matter.” The analyst left Tang Yan’s office in fear.

Tang Yan took the documents and without hesitation, he went straight to the bureau chief’s office and handed the documents to him. “Chief.”

Seeing the documents, the bureau chief’s expression changed drastically. He pointed at the photos and documents and asked, “Where did you get this? You are not allowed to investigate this case anymore. Do you hear me? Tang Yan, you are only a criminal police officer. You have to understand your identity. I will hand this matter over to the special force. We can not afford to be blamed for such a big case.”

“Don’t worry, Chief. I will forget about this matter once I walk out of this door.”

After hearing Tang Yan’s words, the chief was relieved and his expression eased up.

“Tang Yan, I am doing this for your own good. Your wife is pregnant now. You have to accompany her properly. Don’t work so hard on a normal day.”

“I know.”

“Don’t worry. Someone will catch these big fish. You have to pay attention to your own safety.”

Tang Yan knew very well how many things were involved in such a seemingly simple case. Unless the big fish in Bai Xinyi’s case was caught, this case would never be cleared. Of course, that was not something that a criminal police officer like him could do. The higher-ups would make their own decisions.

“Chief, I know what I’m doing.”

“If you know what you’re doing, then get out. There was a case that needed your help, but you’re busy with your family, so I let someone else go. We’ll talk about it when your wife’s pregnancy is stable.”

Tang Yan was very grateful to the chief for this.

Moreover, he also understood that there were some things that even the chief could not do anything about.

After that, Tang Yan left the police station. He initially wanted to drive to Zhongteng, but realized that he should not be so ostentatious, so he made an appointment with Sheng Xiao over the phone.

That evening, Sheng Xiao got off work early and brought Xu Che to Tang Yan’s courtyard.

The two men were equally calm as they exchanged looks. Tang Yan made tea. “Have a seat.”

Then, he handed Sheng Xiao a copy of the document. “After you’ve read it, burn it.”

“Looks like it really has something to do with the change in power a few years from now.” After knowing the identity of the man, Sheng Xiao took the lighter from Tang Yan’s hand and destroyed the document in front of him.

“From today onward, forget about this matter.” Tang Yan’s tone was heavy, and his sharp face was filled with a certain sternness. “Whether it’s me or you.”

“I’m just a mere businessman. I only know how to do business. Since there’s still a few years to go, the other party won’t touch me just yet, but you’re in a different position.”

Whether it was his identity as a criminal police officer or Cheng Bin, he was pretty much a target.

“But what should I do? I’m just a mere criminal police officer. Before I got married, I was all alone. I would play with Cheng Bin however I wanted to. But as you can see, I have a wife and child now. I don’t want her to live a life of fear, much less get involved in danger.

“My soul belongs to the country. My body is not my own, but my heart can only belong to her.”

“Take a back seat. The police academy suits you,” Sheng Xiao suggested.

Tang Yan shook his head and refused. “I won’t back down. The more I avoid him, the more confident he’ll be.”

“Maybe... we can set a trap.”

Tang Yan’s hands trembled when he heard those words. Sheng Bowen had fought a beautiful battle, which gave him confidence and motivation. However, Cheng Bin was not Shen Yu. Cheng Bin was experienced and good at disguising himself. He was not easy to deal with.

Regardless, Sheng Xiao’s suggestion made Tang Yan extremely tempted.

“Wait for the time. What should come will come soon.”

The two men looked at each other. They already had a tacit understanding with each other.

..

Mu Qiqi arrived home at eight o’clock. When she saw that Xu Che was still in Sheng Xiao’s study, she went up to him in surprise. “Xu Che, you’re back.”

Xu Che was stunned for a moment. He was not used to Mu Qiqi’s enthusiasm. “Uh, I came back this morning.”

“It’s good that you’re back.” Mu Qiqi knew how dangerous J City was, so she did not ask Xu Che any questions. She waited till Sheng Xiao was alone in the study that night before she slowly climbed onto his legs.
