Lu Zhengqian held his daughter's hand, looked at the girl walking next to Sheng Weide, frowned slightly, but only for a moment, before his gaze fell on Sheng Weide's face, and he asked with a smile, "You... goddaughter?"

It couldn't be his biological daughter, especially since he hasn't remarried all these years.

"Just a colleague's child." Sheng Weide hurriedly pulled the girl behind him, as if he were worried that she would be killed by Lu Zhengqian.

Lu Zhengqian looked at her and chuckled softly. He lifted Gan Tang's hand and boasted, "My daughter, my own flesh and blood, is twenty-eight years old this year."

He then reminded Gan Tang, "Call him Uncle Sheng. Your Uncle Sheng is your father's great benefactor."

"Hello, Uncle Sheng." Gan Tang nodded slightly. Sheng Weide's gaze fell on her face, making her feel as if he could see right through her, and she hurriedly urged Lu Zhengqian to leave again.

"Dad, is he the old friend you were talking about?" Gan Tang asked, away from the stadium.

"Mm," Lu Zhengqian nodded.

Gan Tang continued, "Then how did you two start fighting?"

Lu Zhengqian sneered: "Tang'er, remember what he looks like. He is the culprit who killed your mother."

With such a deep grudge, no wonder they chose to go to the Yunhai City branch instead of the Jinhai City anti-drug brigade.

Gan Tang asked, "Dad, are you here to seek revenge?" He's the deputy head of the anti-drug squad, after all. He wouldn't be so bold, would he?

“Of course I’ll report it. That’s what Dad has lived for all these years. And of course, finding you too.” Lu Zhengqian gently patted his daughter’s shoulder, then suddenly realized someone was missing from her side and asked with a smile, “Where’s your little tagalong?”

She hadn't seen Mo Huaixing for the past few days, and Lu Zhengqian assumed they had a fight. He casually asked, and Gan Tang replied, "He's like a little shadow, so annoying."

From then on, Lu Zhengqian kept it in mind and would often tease her about it.

Gan Tang angrily slapped him and explained, "I asked him to buy me ice cream."

As they were talking, they walked out of the anti-drug squad's gate, just as Mo Huaixing came out of the convenience store next door.

"Chairman!" Mo Huaixing greeted Lu Zhengqian and handed Gan Tang a bottle of Wahaha.

Both of them thought of buying something, but they bought different things.

Gan Tang reminded her, "Didn't I ask you to buy me ice cream?"

It was a very simple matter; he could have just said it was sold out and brushed it off, but instead he said, "Aren't you supposed to avoid eating cold food these days?"

Gan Tang blushed deeply. How could he be such a good actor? The crucial point was that these past few days had truly been her period.

"What's it to you!" Gan Tang angrily snatched the Wahaha.

Lu Zhengqian, in a rare good mood, teased Mo Huaixing: "You're only thinking about the young lady?"

Mo Huaixing was taken aback, then hurriedly said, "I'll go buy some more."

"Come back!" Lu Zhengqian stopped Mo Huaixing, tapped the Wahaha in Gan Tang's hand, and sighed, "Dad is not lucky enough to drink such childish stuff."

Gan Tang, blushing, pushed Lu Zhengqian directly into the car.

But what was there to be shy about? That wasn't her man at all. She thought of the girl from earlier again.

What are you thinking about?

In the car, Lu Zhengqian saw his daughter lost in thought and asked her a question.

Gan Tang, who was leaning against the car window, turned to look at Lu Zhengqian. She shook her head first, then asked, "Dad, he's the deputy captain, such a high-ranking officer. Wouldn't an assassination attempt cause trouble?"

Lu Zhengqian smiled: "Tang'er, letting someone die is the most merciful method."

A single, seemingly casual remark can send chills down your spine.

Gan Tang instinctively leaned closer to the backrest, seeking a sense of support for her timid body. "What will Daddy do?"

“Your father has been doing this all these years, and so have you.” He looked at Gan Tang with a meaningful gaze, but ultimately did not delve deeper into the topic, instead asking, “Have you come up with a concrete plan to eliminate the Pang family?”

Gan Tang shook her head: "I haven't asked my father or discussed anything with him yet. If I just listen to him, I'll lose face."

"This little girl is quite shrewd." He felt more at ease knowing she was being cautious. Lu Zhengqian thought for a moment and said, "Here's what you'll do. Tell him he can have whatever he wants with the Pang family's people and goods, but I need the Pang family's transaction details for the past five years."

Once Ponzi is caught, all his upstream and downstream partners will come after him.

"Also, Pang Lou can't be handed over to the police. He knows too much about the underworld." The intention was to know oneself and one's enemy, but if the police use him instead, it would be troublesome.

Gan Tang nodded and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"And... be careful." Lu Zhengqian looked at his daughter and said, "You don't have enough people with you. How about Dad gives you a few more?"

Mo Huaixing had actually guessed it. Gan Tang asked in a low voice, "Doesn't Dad believe him?"

“It’s not that I don’t believe it.” Lu Zhengqian warned his daughter: “Remember, no matter how good a knife is, you can’t only use one knife, otherwise that knife will be pointed at you sooner or later.”

“I don’t think he will,” Gan Tang stubbornly retorted, then smiled slightly, “but I’ll listen to my father.”

The journey back to Jinhai still took more than an hour. Seeing that he was no longer speaking, Gan Tang gently patted him. "If Dad is alright, I'll go talk to him about it?"

"So eager?" Lu Zhengqian glanced at the Wahaha drink she was clutching, then waved his hand dismissively. "Go on!"

Four vehicles arrived at the anti-drug squad, one in front and one behind. Mo Huaixing drove a separate car behind them.

Ali parked his car on the side of the road, and all four cars stopped. Gan Tang got out of her car and walked towards Mo Huaixing's car.

The car moved forward again.

He was driving, and she was sitting in the back.

Mo Huaixing asked curiously, "Why did you come over?"

I'm worried about you.

In that case, she could no longer calmly explain to him, "Dad asked me to discuss the Pang family matter with you."

As she spoke, she told Lu Zhengqian about his request.

Mo Huaixing simply gave a faint "hmm," looking so exhausted that he seemed to lack the strength to speak.

Are you thinking about your wife?

Gan Tang looked at him with a pang of sympathy: "I'm hungry. Shall we go get something to eat first, and then go back?"

Mo Huaixing looked back in confusion. Although the little girl was greedy, she wasn't that greedy, was she?

"I've already told Dad," Gan Tang said, starting to browse the restaurant listings on the app. "There's a hot pot restaurant with good reviews just around the next intersection, let's go there!"

At the intersection, Mo Huaixing's car parted ways with the other three cars.

The two went upstairs and asked for a private room.

"What would you like to eat?" Mo Huaixing handed the menu to Gan Tang and said to the waiter, "I'd like a spicy hot pot."

He also remembered that she liked spicy food.

Gan Tang casually ordered a few hot pot ingredients and handed the menu to the waiter. Watching the waiter leave, Gan Tang put down her shoulder bag and suddenly cried out in surprise.

"Oh no, my necklace is gone." She touched her bare neck, trying to remember. "I think I left it in the narcotics squad's meeting room. Could you go back and help me look for it?"
