"Brother Gao, do you know why Qin Wen married me back then?"

Li Nan had a good alcohol tolerance today; it took him three rounds of drinks before he was just starting to feel slightly tipsy.

"I vaguely remember you saying before that Qin Wen offered herself to you because you found out the truth about her father's death!"

"Yes, but how I wish Qin Wen had finally agreed to be with me because of my persistence, my efforts, and my shamelessness!"

It took Li Nan ten years from the first moment he saw Qin Wen to finally win her heart. This should be a beautiful story!

"But what's the difference? You found the truth and resolved Qin Wen's inner conflict, isn't that better?"

"No, no, Brother Gao, it's completely different!"

Perhaps it was the effect of the alcohol, or perhaps it was the dramatic changes that had occurred in the past few days, but Li Nan finally revealed the secret she had kept hidden in her heart for many years to Gao Siming.

"Bullshit! What grudges, what truths? They're all just Qin Wen's excuses! In reality, she's never liked me, she's never liked me!"

"Li Nan, you've had too much to drink!"

"Brother Gao, I admit I can't hold my liquor, but I'm not really stupid!"

The three met for the first time during their university years; they were young and full of life.

Could it be that Li Nan really couldn't see Qin Wen's feelings for Gao Siming?

In the days that followed, the so-called "ice queen" and "keep away" attitude were only true to others!

Qin Wen has never been cold towards Gao Siming.

On their first meeting, she participated in Gao Siming's club team building activity. Under what circumstances would a girl drink heavily with a boy she had just met?

In the days that followed, whenever Li Nan wanted to meet Qin Wen, he would always use Gao Siming as a pretext.

Even later, during her time working at the Anding Division, whenever the topic of visiting Gao Siming at Lakeside Moonlight came up, Qin Wen would always gladly go!

There are far too many examples like this. Li Nan just doesn't want to believe it, doesn't want to accept it, that the person she sleeps with, the white moonlight in her heart, is actually her older brother!

"Brother Gao, do you know that Qin Wen likes you?"

"Li Nan, I know, but you also know that I have no feelings for Qin Wen!"

"Yes, Brother Gao, I know, I know you don't like her, but that's precisely why I'm even more heartbroken, and I cherish her even more because she's so hard to have!"

"Waaaaah..."

Li Nan broke down in tears, and Gao Siming didn't know how to comfort her.

What a darn coincidence!

"Actually, it wasn't hard to come by, I was just lucky!"

After crying his heart out, Li Nan raised his glass, clinked it against Gao Siming's, and downed the entire glass in one gulp.

This was the first time he had ever finished a whole glass of beer in front of Gao Siming.

At the same time, for the first time, he revealed another secret that he had kept hidden in his heart.

The truth about Qin Wen's father's death!

Let's go back to the summer of July 4217.

This summer in Tanhua City was exceptionally hot, but it didn't bring Li Nan much warmth.

Over the years, thanks to the title of "the child of a hero," Li Nan's path has been smooth. Even though his grades at the police academy were always at the bottom, he eventually joined the Anti-Ding Division as he wished.

Under the guidance of his master Xiong Yingjun, he directly joined the Department of Destiny Prediction.

Unfortunately, external forces are ultimately just external forces. Over time, everyone realized Li Nan's true capabilities.

Li Nan spent seven or eight years in a daze in the Department of Determinative Fate, without making any achievements. He couldn't even understand the test reports and couldn't leave the crime scene!

There was nothing Xiong Sifu could do; he was hopeless.

Despite Xiong Sifu's protection, rumors of Li Nan being demoted began to circulate within the Anding Division.

Especially those in the destiny-determining department, all know what kind of person Li Nan is.

He's just a parasite who lives off his father's legacy and coasts along in the Anding Division!

He was a parasite, but the worst part was that he also had designs on the beauty of the An Ding Division, constantly showering her with attention for no reason.

It would be better for everyone to get rid of this scourge as soon as possible!

According to the plan, Li Nan will soon be transferred to the patrol section to work as an ordinary patrol officer.

This day in July was merely a rehearsal before his job transfer.

However, things took a turn for the better, and Li Nan's luck improved.

Standing at an unfamiliar crossroads, Li Nan awkwardly directed the somewhat chaotic traffic with his hand gestures.

He thought this would be just another ordinary day, a glimpse into his future life.

Li Nan seemed listless and dejected, lacking the spirit and energy expected of a modern patrol officer.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a loud crash came from not far away.

"There's been a car accident!"

The accident occurred less than 50 meters from the intersection, where a truck traveling in the wrong direction collided head-on with a hatchback.

As a quasi-patrol officer, Li Nan rushed over immediately. Upon seeing the horrific scene, Li Nan unsurprisingly squatted down in the nearby green belt and vomited.

The front and rear of the car were basically squeezed together, and the people in the driver's seat were unlikely to survive.

The truck was alright; only the front of the truck was dented.

However, Li Nan had limited experience at the time and did not notice that the truck's front had been illegally modified and fitted with a special anti-collision steel plate.

To Li Nan's surprise, when he finished vomiting bile and was about to call for help, he turned around and saw a burly middle-aged man standing behind him.

The middle-aged man first gave Li Nan a standard military salute, then stretched out his hands forward, saying, "Officer, I surrender!"

In the An Ding Si detention room, truck driver Liu Damao specified that he would only surrender to the young policeman who had just been standing by the roadside!

There was nothing wrong with this. This was not the first time the Department of Stability had encountered such a situation. Yang Zhengning, who was concurrently serving as the head of the Department of Destiny at the time, naturally agreed.
