NOVPUB"Let’s go!"
Chen Nan readily agreed to Jiang Li’s suggestion, followed her out of the Zhao Family villa and strolled around the neighborhood under the moonlit night, amidst the sounds of insects.
Because he knew, Jiang Li must have something to tell him.
It was just that there were outsiders at dinner before, so it was inconvenient to speak.
Jiang Li’s voice suddenly rang out, filled with helplessness and frustration, "I’ve been suspended."
Chen Nan couldn’t help but respond, "What happened? Why were you suspended? Did you make some kind of mistake?"
Jiang Li answered unhappily, "Somebody is spreading my risqué photos online, and the bureau said this incident has caused a terrible impact, so they suspended me for a while."
Chen Nan swallowed instinctively and gingerly asked, "What kind of risqué photos? Can I take a look... to criticize them?"
Jiang Li gave him a look but still took out her phone, opened the gallery, and handed it to Chen Nan.
In the photo was a woman with a voluptuous figure and seductive eyes, dressed in black lingerie. One could vaguely see her graceful posture and the two full mounds before her.
The photo was sensational, but Chen Nan frowned, then looked at Jiang Li’s slightly protruding chest and said incredulously, "This is just ridiculous, when did you become so sexy? Your leaders must be blind, right?"
Jiang Li’s mouth twitched fiercely, and a strong rage surged in her heart. Biting her teeth, she said, "Chen, although I know I’ve been slandered and my figure isn’t that outstanding, I’m really not pleased with your reaction; I really want to hit you!"
Chen Nan said with an apologetic smile, "I’m just angry because you were wronged; I spoke without thinking. Please be generous, don’t stoop to my level."
Jiang Li replied irritably, "Just freaking annoyed!"
Chen Nan hesitated then cautiously asked, "Did you really offend someone?"
"I’ve been suspended now, so there’s no harm in telling you some things."
"I’ve been investigating a missing case recently," Jiang Li began, the tone of her voice revealing a deep sense of powerlessness, "If I can find that missing woman, the entire Jizhou officialdom will be shaken to its core, with the possibility of a complete reshuffle."
"Not only that, but it might even bring down some high officials in the provincial capital."
"The car accident I had before, that was someone wanting to get rid of me, not wanting me to continue investigating this matter."
Chen Nan expressed his surprise, "You, a beat cop, actually dare to investigate such matters?"
"What’s wrong with a beat cop?" Jiang Li shot back, "Didn’t you say before, ’the rise and fall of a nation is the responsibility of everyone’?"
Chen Nan gave a forced smile, unable to refute her words.
Jiang Li sighed and said, "That woman has been missing for half a year now. Before she disappeared, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection received an anonymous letter accusing a big official in our city of corruption, bribery, cronyism, being involved with the underworld, and having improper male-female relations, with many, many charges."
"If proven, that big official would certainly be brought down."
"Unfortunately, just after the letter arrived at the commission, the news leaked."
"Then, when the commission got involved, they discovered that the whistleblower had already vanished."
"As if evaporated from the face of the Earth."
"Although the commission also conducted a covert investigation, they couldn’t find anything on the big official’s alleged crimes, and the case ended up unresolved."
Chen Nan: "I think I know who you’re talking about."
Jiang Li’s pupils trembled slightly, her beautiful eyes revealing an incredulous sparkle.
"I’m also looking for evidence of his crimes," Chen Nan muttered. "Unfortunately, nothing has been found so far."
"However,"
"evil never prevails over good."
"One day, I will find the evidence of his crimes, bring him to justice, and have him face legal judgement!"
Jiang Li showed a look of anticipation: "I look forward to that day!"
After a pause, she said, "Do you have time tomorrow? Accompany this young lady on a hike!"
Chen Nan smiled: "I’m sorry, I don’t have time tomorrow."
"Damn, you’re such a buzzkill!" Jiang Li got angry, her face showing displeasure: "I ask you out for drinks, you say no; I ask you hiking, you also decline? After all we’ve been through together, can’t you give me some face because I’m upset about my suspension?"
"Come on, tell me, what do I have to invite you to for you to say yes?"
Chen Nan touched his nose, his face revealing a suggestive smile: "If you invited me to go to a hot spring together, I might consider it!"
"Scumbag, get lost!" Jiang Li flared up, embarrassed and angry: "Why don’t you just say straight up you want to hook up?"
Chen Nan put on a stern face, speaking seriously: "If you said that, then I would definitely not consider it, not even for a second. That would be disrespectful to you!"
Jiang Li looked at Chen Nan with a stunned face, clearly not expecting him to be so shameless. Regaining her composure, the corner of her mouth twitched into a forced smile: "I’m truly at a loss for words. How can a person like you not be struck by lightning? No, I have to keep my distance from you; I could get caught in the crossfire if you get struck."
"Enough joking," Chen Nan said with a smile: "I really do have something planned tomorrow, so I can’t hike with you. But if you want to clear your head, you might consider coming with me to Qingcheng Town."
He said seriously, "I’m going to help the Zhao Family find a Feng Shui treasure spot for the burial of their ancestors. It’s definitely going to involve some climbing and wading." 𝔫𝖔𝖛𝖕𝖚𝔟.𝖈𝖔𝔪
"Sure!" Jiang Li agreed readily: "I have nothing else to do anyway, so I’ll join you on the trip to Qingcheng Town! I can also learn more about inspecting Yin houses from Master Chen."
Chen Nan said casually, "In that case, don’t bother going back tonight. Stay with the Zhao Family and we’ll head out early tomorrow."
"That works."
Afterward, Chen Nan took Jiang Li back to the Zhao Family’s home and explained to Yu Xiaomin that Jiang Li would accompany him tomorrow to inspect the Feng Shui.
Yu Xiaomin, already fond of Jiang Li’s straightforward personality, was only too happy to have her accompany Chen Nan on the Feng Shui inspection. She immediately asked the housekeeper to clean up another guest room on the second floor.
Lingering in her room, she found some hiking gear she had bought before getting pregnant, which she had never worn since she got pregnant shortly after the purchase.
"It’s getting late, let’s all head to sleep. We’ll head to Qingcheng Town early tomorrow morning." Seeing that the evening was advancing, Chen Nan assisted Wang Li up to the second floor.
There were three rooms there, one master bedroom and two secondary bedrooms.
Unquestionably, Chen Nan would share a room with Wang Li, and across from their door was the room of the beautiful policewoman, Jiang Li.
Returning to the bedroom, Chen Nan took off his Taoist robe, tossed it aside, then looked at Wang Li, whose face was flushed from drinking, with a tender heart: "You go take a bath first, and after you’re done, I’ll give you a massage!"
Wang Li blushed, retorting playfully: "Can’t you just lick it off for me?"
