Song Yan instructed everyone not to be alone and to avoid going out at night.

Shen Hanyang: "Captain Cheng Wenkai, the criminal investigation team leader of the Public Security Bureau, also said the same thing."

"Who did you just say?" Song Yan heard clearly, and she wanted to ask again.

“It’s Cheng Wenkai, the head of the criminal investigation team at the Public Security Bureau. He said he’ll be asking each of us educated youths about Dong Mingming later. He wants to know just how crazy Dong Mingming has become. So I came to find you at the brigade headquarters,” Shen Hanyang said.

Cheng Wenkai, the man who doted on Li Yuanzhao, is described in the book as someone who loved Li Yuanzhao to the core.

In the original text, Dong Mingming relentlessly pursued Pan Bo, but Pan Bo repeatedly refused. One time, Dong Mingming became extremely angry at Pan Bo's rejection and, regardless of where they were, pushed him forcefully. Pan Bo was watching Cheng Yousuo fish by the river when he fell in. The fishing spot wasn't shallow, and Pan Bo couldn't swim; if it weren't for Cheng Yousuo, he would have drowned.

In a fit of anger, Pan Bo reported the incident to the police, saying that Dong Mingming was trying to drown him.

At the time, Cheng Wenkai, the criminal investigation team leader of the Public Security Bureau, came to the police station to guide the work, and he came along.

Cheng Wenkai is the same Li Yuanzhao he met this time.

Dong Mingming argued that there were other people by the river, so how could she possibly try to drown Pan Bo in front of them? Besides, she didn't know Pan Bo couldn't swim! She just gave him a push.

Dong Mingming didn't receive any punishment. She just got a good talking-to from the police station, and after that, she never dared to bother them like before.

Things changed because of my arrival, but what was bound to happen still happened.

Song Yan was slightly surprised when he met Cheng Wenkai. The book described him and Li Yuanzhao as a handsome man and a beautiful woman in people's eyes.

The concept of beauty truly differs across eras. Li Yuanzhao is a beauty of her time with big eyes and a round face. Cheng Wenkai, on the other hand, has a square face, thick eyebrows, and big eyes, much like the positive characters in films from the 1950s and 60s.

I remember my colleague's mother jokingly saying that when she watched movies, she could tell at a glance who the good guys and who the bad guys were.

Bad people are all shifty-eyed, while good people have big, square faces and are upright and honest...
