Upon entering the compound, one could see Zheng Song standing in the courtyard, holding a meeting with his subordinates.

A group of people stood imposingly in front of him. Zheng Song, dressed in a formal suit with his hands behind his back, spoke in a loud and clear voice that reached everyone's ears even without a loudspeaker.

"You've memorized it all?"

"I've got it!"

His men listened to his instructions, his deafening voice echoing across the entire sky.

Zheng Song turned his head and saw Ye Yun and Tian Xiaohui walking in. He waved for everyone to disperse, and then stepped forward to greet Ye Yun and Tian Xiaohui.

"Captain Zheng!"

Seeing that he had finished his work, Ye Yun greeted him with a smile, leading Tian Xiaohui to say hello.

What brings you here?

Zheng Song, abandoning his previous sternness towards his apprentices, smiled and looked at Ye Yun and Tian Xiaohui with some surprise.

Ye Yun first handed the mung bean cake she had left to Zheng Song before saying, "I've run into a problem and wanted to ask you for advice."

Zheng Song readily agreed, "Go ahead."

"Is there a teacher in the primary school named Tan Zongguang? His father is the vice principal of the primary school. I don't know if you've heard of him?"

“Yes, I know him. His father even taught me back then,” Zheng Song said with a smile.

Ye Yun opened her mouth.

It seems that Tan Zongguang's identity is not fake.

Ye Yun smiled and said, "It's like this, when I set up my stall today, this Teacher Tan came to my stall and said he wanted to order a batch of mung bean cakes as Children's Day gifts for the children. He told me to prepare in advance and even told me where to buy mung beans. I went to ask and found that the mung beans there were quite expensive, so I was a little worried that I might have encountered a scammer..."

No, not at all.

Zheng Song smiled and asked, "Did he introduce you to Old Li from town?"

Ye Yun nodded quickly, "Yes, how did you know?"

When Tan Zongguang told her, he mentioned that the old man's surname was Li.

Zheng Song said, "We all know Old Li. He used to be a teacher at the school and taught me and Qin Zheng. Later, he was transferred to another place. A few years ago, he retired and came back to our area. He started growing beans, red beans and green beans, specializing in beans. But he has a very strange temper. Did you get scolded when you went to see him?"

Ye Yun twitched the corner of her mouth. "I didn't get scolded, but I felt he was hard to get along with. I asked him for five catties of mung beans, but he thought it wasn't enough and just gave them to me. Next time I'll send him some mung bean cakes."

"Then you're lucky. I'm not saying this to be mean, but if your Qin Zheng were under his command, he'd get scolded too." Zheng Song said, a hint of schadenfreude in his smile.

Ye Yun: "..."

"Oh right, you just said that Tan Zongguang introduced you to a business opportunity?" Zheng Song suddenly asked.

Ye Yun nodded.

Zheng Song pondered for a moment, "This kid, I've never heard of him being so kind before..."

"What else could it be? It must be because my sister-in-law makes such good mung bean cakes!" Tian Xiaohui said, giving Zheng Song a defiant look.

Zheng Song looked at her, and no matter how he listened, he felt that her words were somewhat sarcastic.

"Thank you, Captain Zheng. Since he's not a fraudster, I'll do this deal properly," Ye Yun said with a smile.

Then, she gave Tian Xiaohui behind her a wink.

Reluctantly, Tian Xiaohui handed the wrapped mung bean cake to Zheng Song, saying irritably, "Here! This is what my sister-in-law saved for you!"

Zheng Song glanced at the mung bean cake, becoming even more curious about Tian Xiaohui's expression, and chuckled, "You little brat, why do you always look so bitter and resentful when you see me?"

If you meet him, he won't say anything; if he does, you'll argue with him.

Tian Xiaohui rolled her eyes.

"Why do you know that yourself?"

How would I know?

Zheng Song felt very wronged by this, as he did not seem to have offended her in any way.

Tian Xiaohui snorted, turned her back with a cold face, and hid behind Ye Yun, no longer daring to pay attention to Zheng Song.

This made Ye Yun laugh.

Ye Yun patted Tian Xiaohui on the shoulder and explained to Zheng Song with a smile, "She was terrified when she came here last time."

"If you're so afraid, then don't come here so often."

Zheng Song scoffed.

Upon hearing this, Tian Xiaohui immediately retorted, "Do you think I wanted to come? It was my sister-in-law who dragged me here. If it were up to me, I would never come to a place like this again!"

Zheng Song nodded, "Okay, that's got guts."

Ye Yun: "..."

Oh no, these two are really at odds. She even tried to bring them together, but their tempers seem to be escalating!

"Alright, alright, let's go back now."

Ye Yun decided to cut her losses and move on.

Zheng Song didn't take Tian Xiaohui, this carefree young girl, seriously at all, and said, "I'll see you off!"

"By the way, how's Xu Tianqiang's situation?" Ye Yun asked before leaving.

Zheng Song: "It has already been submitted to the county government. His case is quite serious. I have also submitted your evidence. We should hear about his verdict next week."

Ye Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

"Will you need me to go then?"

“No need, I’ll go on your behalf,” Zheng Song said. “You’ve already left enough evidence, so you don’t need to make another trip. As for the witnesses, I and the other staff members in the station are your witnesses.”

Ye Yun sincerely said, "Thank you."

After that, she left with Tian Xiaohui.

On the way back, Tian Xiaohui was sullen and kept staring at Ye Yun.

Ye Yun asked her what was wrong.

She didn't say anything.

Ye Yun saw a vendor selling candied hawthorns at the intersection, stopped her bicycle, and bought one for Tian Xiaohui. Tian Xiaohui felt a little better after that.

Perhaps because she was late for the candied hawthorns, she took the initiative to start a conversation with Ye Yun.

"Sister-in-law, do you think I'm annoyed by Zheng Song?"

"Hmm... a little."

"Let me tell you, I'm so angry at Zheng Song, but I'm not even as angry as I was at Tan Zongguang!"

Ye Yun was slightly taken aback.

So, is this why she was so sullen the whole way?

Tian Xiaohui hummed again.

While chewing on a candied hawthorn, she mumbled, "I don't know why, but I just can't stand that guy named Tan Zongguang. Putting aside my intuition, he's actually quite a good catch—a primary school teacher, and he's also very polite—but I just don't feel comfortable around him, especially when he smiles at you. That's when I feel most uncomfortable!"

Ye Yun: "..."

What kind of psychology is this?

She had a feeling that Tian Xiaohui was jealous.

No, no, no, her radar must have broken down recently. Why would Tian Xiaohui be jealous of her? Even if she were, it shouldn't be her place, right?

The sunlight gradually lost its scorching heat.

Ye Yun rode her old bicycle into the village, and to her surprise, she saw a familiar tall figure right in front of her house.

"Hey? Isn't that Brother Qin Zheng?!"

Qin Zheng?

Ye Yun couldn't help but raise one hand to rub her eyes, and looked at them again uncertainly.

High above, a tall and imposing man leaned against the railing, a faint smile playing on his strong brows as he gazed at her on the road.

It really is Qin Zheng!
