There was a hint of hostility in Ye Linlang's eyes, and Xie Xuning reached out and pulled Ye Linlang into his arms.
"Linlang, you are a doctor. You only need to do kind things. Leave the rest to me."
As Captain Fu came out, he saw Ye Linlang and Xie Xuning hugging each other and kissing passionately. He screamed, "This is a serious place, not the place for you two to talk about love. If you want to talk about love, please go to the park. Don't bully us single people here!"
Ye Linlang asked, "Where is that person?"
"Hey, Linlang, do you think I've been too idle lately, so you gave me all these tough bones to chew? That guy's teeth are very good, I can't pry open even a crack!"
Ye Linlang had an expression that said, "I knew it."
Xie Xuning said, "Then invite him to spend the New Year's Eve here?"
"Don't worry! Today is the last day of the year. Can you two please stop causing trouble for me?" Captain Fu joked, "You two are so affectionate and loving, but please consider the feelings of an old bachelor like me, okay?"
Xie Xuning retorted, "This is just right. You don't have to suffer alone. There are colleagues on duty here to accompany you..."
Before Xie Xuning could finish his words, he heard someone calling out, "Captain Fu, the leader is looking for you."
Captain Fu said, "Then I'll be back soon."
Ye Linlang and Xie Xuning simply sat on the bench waiting for Captain Fu to return. They also wanted to ask about the details of the interrogation of Cheng Juan.
After a while, Captain Fu came back.
"The higher-ups demanded that he be released."
Ye Linlang: “…”
Xie Xuning: "..."
Captain Fu helplessly spread his hands and said, "I heard that the higher-ups are putting pressure on us."
"Let him go!" Ye Linlang said readily.
Captain Fu asked, "Really?"
There was a hint of smile in Xie Xuning's voice.
"Don't you dare let go?"
Captain Fu chuckled twice and said, "I dare not."
Ye Linlang knew that Captain Fu was just a small captain, and that there were big shots above him, the forces behind Cheng Juan, who could put pressure on him. This also meant that the sudden attack on Cheng Juan this time caught them off guard.
It’s better to panic so that you can fish in troubled waters!
Ye Linlang and Xie Xuning did not leave. They waited for Cheng Juan to come out.
Cheng Juan still looked high-spirited. He walked with a vigorous pace to the opposite side of Ye Linlang and chuckled, "Doctor Ye, cooperating with the case is the obligation of every citizen. I'm very sorry that I couldn't help you this time. Happy New Year!"
Xie Xuning and Ye Linlang ignored Cheng Juan's provocation and said in unison, "Happy New Year!"
Captain Fu was confused and bewildered.
After Cheng Juan left, Ye Linlang and Xie Xuning also left.
"Linlang, let's put these things aside for now, focus on the date, and wait for the New Year's Eve."
Xie Xuning hugged Ye Linlang and got into the car. They and Cheng Juan's car drove away in opposite directions. Ye Linlang made a gesture to Lin Shuang in another inconspicuous black car.
Lin Shuang and Wen Ze understood and leisurely followed the black car that Cheng Juan got into.
As soon as Cheng Juan got in the car, he took out a cigarette and a lighter in annoyance. He lit the cigarette and took a deep puff.
“Where is Shen Bailu?”
"In the teahouse."
Cheng Juan said, "Let's go to the teahouse."
In the teahouse, Shen Bailu stood up in a panic when she saw Cheng Juan.
Cheng Juan looked at Shen Bailu's swaying body, walked quickly to Shen Bailu, and reached out to help Shen Bailu sit down.
"Lulu, didn't I tell you to wait for me in the hospital?"
Thinking of what her grandfather had written in the letter, Shen Bailu hesitated and asked, "Cheng Juan? You..."
