"Which of you two owns this house?"

Qingshan saw that the woman in front of him was about the same age as his mother, with an oval face and almond-shaped eyes. She was pretty, but the corners of her mouth drooped, and her face revealed a mean and unruly look.

"I am."

"What's your name?"

"Chen Qingshan."

Zhu Manli snorted coldly: It turns out that this little slut is the bitch who hooked up with rich businessmen. She is indeed good-looking, but she is taking advantage of her youth. When she is in her forties, she may not be as pretty as me!

"Chen Qingshan, you are suspected of assault, causing serious injury to the victim, which constitutes a crime. Come with us!"

After saying that, Zhu Manli signaled the police officer to take Qingshan away. But before the police officer could take out the handcuffs, a male voice came from inside the Chen family's courtyard wall:

"Wait, who dares to arrest people without my permission? You said it was a serious injury after you did an injury assessment. Are you a forensic doctor?"

When Qingshan heard the voice, the corners of his mouth curved up beautifully, and he turned to face the courtyard gate and greeted the visitor:

"Brother Zou, why are you here?"

"Xiaoshan, I'm not saying anything to you, Brother Zou, but how come you've become estranged from me after just a few months of studying in the capital? You didn't even tell me about this big thing that happened at home?"

Following Li Ergou's lead, Zou Peng cracked several major cases and is now the Deputy Director of the Lian City Public Security Bureau. He's now busy with work, sitting in an office every day, attending endless meetings, and signing endless documents. He doesn't have the freedom he once had as a criminal detective, so his visits to the Chen family have become significantly less frequent. However, Zou Kai and Ma Shengli are frequent visitors to Villa No. 8. The two families, no, all three, have maintained close contact.

Today, he stumbled across a report from one of his subordinates, which mentioned a case filed regarding the Garden Community. Zou Peng's interest piqued as he read the report carefully. The more he looked, the more suspicious he became. Wasn't Villa 8 mentioned in the report the Chen family's? Twelve cameras had been broken in over two months. Was this intentional sabotage? Was it targeting the Chen family?

The more Zou Peng thought about it, the more worried he became. He postponed a meeting and brought Xiao Wu, who was in charge of the case, to the Garden Community.

Zou Peng and Xiao Wu first went to the property to understand the situation, and then entered through the main gate of Villa No. 8. Zhang Meiling took the two of them to the scene of the incident in the backyard. Before they arrived, they heard a shrill and familiar female voice saying that they wanted to take Qingshan back to the police station. Zou Peng shouted and quickly walked out of the corner door of the backyard.

The onlookers saw that another man in police uniform had come to the Chen family. His police rank was third-level police inspector, and he should be a bureau-level cadre.

The eyes of the melon eaters were shining, and they wanted to run home to get some melon seeds, potato chips and happy water. They really watched a wonderful drama today. What is the background of the Chen family? Aren’t Chen Jianguo and his wife ordinary workers? Why does the police inspector sound like he is very familiar with them?

Zhu Manli's face paled as she saw Zou Peng emerge from the Chen family compound. Lian City was a relatively small city, and they were both in the public security department. How could they not know each other? Zou Peng had been promoted to deputy director level in his early thirties, and his future was limitless. Zhu Manli often flattered him, and had repeatedly tried to invite him to dinner, only to have him decline. She hadn't expected them to meet under these circumstances today. Unaware of his intentions, she froze in her tracks, feeling lost.

Qingshan smiled and explained to Zou Peng, "Brother Zou, you're overthinking it. It's just an ordinary neighborhood dispute. It's not enough to alarm your deputy director!"

Luo Wenyuan raised his eyebrows and smelled an unusual sour smell. He reached out and pinched Qingshan's shoulder, lowered his head and ground his teeth in her ear: "Zou...Brother?"

Qingshan hissed and turned around to glare at him.

Zou Peng also noticed the young man next to Qingshan and asked, "Xiaoshan, who is this...?"

"Luo Wenyuan, my boyfriend! Wenyuan, this is Zou Peng, Director Zou... Director Zou Kai's son."
