"Alright, then take care, Deputy Director Li!" Captain Liu said.

"Okay!" Li Jianguo responded and then walked out of the room.

As he left, he took out his phone and dialed a number.

The phone rang three times before being answered, and a slightly hoarse voice came through: "Hello!"

"Deputy Captain Zhang, this is Liu Jianguo! I've already sent men to find that young man and apprehend him! You must go to the traditional Chinese medicine clinic immediately and work with the doctors to treat him until he recovers!"

Li Jianguo said.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, then a voice said, "Okay, I understand!"

After hanging up the phone, Li Jianguo revealed a strange smile.

......

Inside an old house in the suburbs of Zhonghai City, a group of well-dressed young men and women sat around a table laden with sumptuous dishes.

"The food here is fantastic! No wonder it's cooked by the top chef at the municipal government guesthouse. I wonder where they got it from?"

A young man sitting in the head seat, his captivating eyes sparkling, spoke to a girl sitting next to him.

This young man is Zhang Yu, the son of Zhang, the deputy director of the Donghai Municipal Public Security Bureau.

"Young Master Zhang, the food here is indeed excellent. The master chef was brought in from Hong Kong; he's said to be a top-tier chef there. I've heard he's worked in the catering industry in various parts of China, and his skills are truly superb!"

The girl sitting next to him said with a grin.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu immediately perked up and said, "In that case, you should all try them! I can't wait to see these dishes!"

Upon hearing this, the girl quickly picked up a piece of fish with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth, praising, "Young Master Zhang, this fish is so delicious! This fish from your Donghai City is much bigger than the ones in Hong Kong!"

"Haha, eat as much as you like!" Zhang Yu laughed loudly.

The girl nodded, then picked up a plate of food, chewing and drinking the soup as she went.

"Wow, this looks great! What's this dish called?"

Zhang Yu asked while eating.

The girl smiled and said, "This dish is called Longjing Shrimp. It's made with a rare Chinese medicinal herb and is very nutritious. This dish also has another benefit: it can boost the body's immunity, making people feel more comfortable while eating."

"Oh? It actually has such an effect! How come I've never heard of it before?" Zhang Yu said in surprise.

"Hehe, Young Master Zhang, the recipe for this dish hasn't been revealed yet, so of course you haven't heard of it."

The girl explained.

As she spoke, she picked up another piece of braised pork, put it in her mouth, and swallowed it in one gulp: "Mmm! Not bad, tastes good!"

Seeing this, Zhang Yu couldn't resist the urge: "Xiaoqian, give me another bowl of rice!"

"Young Master Zhang, you can't eat anymore! I've already promised your father that you can only eat this twice a week," Xiaoqian said, frowning.

Zhang Yu's expression changed, and he angrily snorted, "This is a violation of discipline! I'm reporting you!"

"Young Master Zhang, whether you believe me or not, I'm telling the truth. My father said that we can't break the rules for our own selfish desires. I'm a person with professional ethics!" Xiaoqian said firmly.

"You..." Zhang Yu's eyes widened, but he had no way to deal with this little girl.

Just then, a luxury car suddenly pulled up in front of the door.

The car door opened, and a young man wearing sunglasses stepped out and walked straight into the restaurant.

Upon seeing the young man's appearance, the previously noisy restaurant suddenly fell silent, and everyone's expression became serious.

"It's him!" Zhang Yu's pupils shrank instantly when he saw the person who had arrived.

The visitor was none other than Ye Fan.

Zhang Yu knows Ye Fan, but Ye Fan does not know Zhang Yu.

Seeing Ye Fan walk in, Zhang Yu hurriedly went to greet him.

"Mr. Ye, you've finally decided to come back!" Zhang Yu said with a smile.

Ye Fan glanced at him indifferently and said, "I remember you're the deputy captain of the Zhonghai City Criminal Investigation Brigade, named Zhang Yu, right?"

"That's right! Mr. Ye, how did you regain your memories so quickly?"

Zhang Yu asked with a surprised look.

"Nonsense! You're my friend, of course I won't forget you," Ye Fan said calmly.

"Mr. Ye, please take a seat!"

As he spoke, Zhang Yu gestured towards the empty seat next to him.

"Let others have this space; I won't join in the fun."

Ye Fan waved his hand and turned to walk to a table behind him.

Seeing this, Zhang Yu hurriedly chased after them.

His attitude was very humble, and he was all smiles, completely unlike his previous arrogance.

He walked to the table, bowed to Ye Fan, and said sincerely, "Mr. Ye, on behalf of everyone in the Criminal Investigation Brigade, I apologize to you. Over the years, due to various reasons, I have failed to fulfill my duty to protect your safety. I am here to apologize to you!"

After saying that, he reached out and patted his head.

Seeing his actions, Ye Fan couldn't help but smile slightly, and his eyes narrowed.

Seeing this, Zhang Yu cursed him inwardly as an idiot.

Then, his eyes lit up and he suddenly had an idea.

He hurriedly turned around and shouted at his subordinates standing to the side, "Are you all deaf? Didn't you hear Mr. Ye tell you to take a seat?"

Upon hearing this, several of his men immediately scurried forward.

"Mr. Ye, please have a seat!"

After politely inviting Ye Fan to sit down, Zhang Yu turned around and sat down in an empty seat to the side.
