Shuai Su sat in front of the quaint and heavy desk in the study, his face as gloomy as the sky before a storm.
His hand slowly reached for the phone on the table, his movements were somewhat reluctant and irritable, and every dial seemed to vent his inner dissatisfaction.
After the call was connected, he shouted into the receiver: "Take those 13 people away immediately and send them to where they should go!"
The voice echoed in the quiet study, carrying with it an unquestionable majesty.
After hanging up the phone, Su Yushuai slowly turned his gaze to Su Jinyu who was waiting beside him.
His eyes showed helplessness towards his daughter's behavior, mixed with a hint of anger after being disobeyed. "Satisfied?"
Su Jinyu couldn't help laughing when she saw her father like this.
She covered her lips, a smile spreading from the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, like a flower blooming in spring, bright and moving.
"Father is also satisfied, isn't he..."
Her voice was clear and pleasant, with a hint of coquettishness, trying to ease her father's unhappiness.
In her opinion, this outcome was a good thing for her father, but her father just couldn't bring himself to admit it.
After hearing this, Su Yushuai snorted heavily from his nose, as if his secrets had been exposed, and he slammed the receiver back on the landline in anger. The muffled sound seemed to be the vent of his complicated emotions at the moment.
"You don't want to see him?" Su Jinyu asked innocently, tilting his head.
When Su Yushuai heard this, his emotions were instantly ignited again, "What can an old man like me who only cares about profit and forgets his loyalty do to a young policeman who is dedicated to serving the people!!"
He remembered Zhou Youchen saying that he loved Master Shen more for power than for the people. These words were like a thorn that pierced his heart and he couldn't pull them out.
His face flushed red, and he shouted loudly, as if he wanted to shout out all the grievances and anger in his heart, "No!"
He reiterated his decision in a firm tone, leaving no room for negotiation.
Seeing her father like this, Su Jinyu didn't want to continue persuading him.
She shrank her neck and cautiously left the study.
She knew that her father was still angry and saying anything more would only add fuel to the fire.
Su Jinyu stepped into the living room and looked at Zhou Youchen who was standing by the window in deep thought.
His profile was sharp and had a cold and hard look.
She informed her father of his decision, then bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "My father...didn't want to see you. Maybe it was because I was too blunt and intense when I talked to him. So, he...had a deep impression of you."
Speaking of this, Su Jinyu thought to herself, it's more than just a profound feeling. I'm afraid my father is already dissatisfied with Zhou Youchen or even resentful of him.
Thinking of this, Su Jinyu couldn't help but sigh softly, "However, you don't have to think too much. Father Marshal is still holding back a bit of anger in his heart. When this anger slowly dissipates, he will be able to figure out the reason."
Zhou Youchen nodded and thanked him sincerely, "Thank you."
Su Jinyu's face flashed with embarrassment, and she took a step back consciously, "In this matter, to be honest, you are implicated by me. I am just cleaning up the mess, and I can't thank you."
After hearing this, Zhou Youchen immediately shook his head. He took a step forward and looked at Su Jinyu firmly with a serious expression.
"He is the one who did something wrong. He has bad intentions, not you..."
"Oh..." Su Jinyu raised his head, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, revealing a brilliant smile.
That smile is like a flower blooming in spring, bright and moving.
"So I'm still a good person, right?"
She tilted her head slightly, her eyes flashing with anticipation, as if waiting for Zhou Youchen's praise. At this moment, she was like a child longing for recognition.
Zhou Youchen looked at her like this, the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously, and he said "hmm" softly.
That "hmm" was like a warm current that warmed Su Jinyu's heart and made the air around her softer.
At the same time, under the watchful eyes of the public, the 13 suspects were escorted by the military and handed over to the police station.
In the police station, everyone was in high spirits, standing tall, with faces filled with irrepressible excitement and pride, as if they had just won a hard-fought battle, and everyone was immersed in the joy of victory.
As soon as Zhou Youchen stepped into the door of the police station, he was instantly overwhelmed by enthusiastic cheers.
The members of the fifth team gathered around, with admiration and joyful smiles on their faces.
"Captain, you have really given our police station some vengeance!" a young policeman said excitedly, his eyes shining with admiration, and he waved his arms as he spoke.
"Yeah, in the past those people always thought our police department was easy to bully, now let's see who dares to do that again!"
Another policeman added, with a smug look on his face and his chest puffed out, as if he had seen the police station's pride.
“That’s right…”
Everyone responded in a flurry of voices, laughter and joy echoed in the hall, and the atmosphere was as hot as a burning fire.
Zhou Youchen looked at the lively scene in front of him, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a gratified smile.
He cleared his throat, his expression instantly turned serious, his eyes slowly scanned every person, and he said word by word: "Also, eight people have been found. The arms case has been solved."
These words were like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing everyone's high emotions.
The originally noisy hall suddenly became quiet. Everyone was stunned. The smiles on their faces gradually disappeared, replaced by solemnity and concentration.
Everyone understood that Zhou Youchen's words were like a wake-up call, reminding them that this battle with the arms case was far from over.
After the crew was released from prison, the rest of the crew returned to the ship, but that man did not go back and stayed at the Sihai Hotel.
There were police officers disguised as merchants all around the Sihai Hotel, guarding it all the time to ensure that nothing happened.
After seeing Zhou Youchen off, the Governor's Office welcomed the uninvited guest Shen Jingan.
Su Jinyu's face was still smiling, but the moment she looked at Shen Jingan, her smile froze instantly.
Then, as if a gust of cold wind blew over, all the good mood disappeared completely in just a second, and was replaced by a face full of disgust and vigilance.
"What are you doing here?"
Her voice was icy cold, with a distinct sense of desperation, and every word sounded as if squeezed out from between her teeth.
Shen Jingan was seen walking slowly towards him with a slightly staggering step. Although his injured leg had recovered a lot after a period of recuperation, he still had an obvious limp when he walked.
He stared at Su Jinyu with a stern face and asked in a cold tone: "Did you instigate the incident with Minsheng Morning News?"
Facing Shen Jingan's question, Su Jinyu did not answer immediately, but asked back: "The injuries on Zhou Youchen's body, weren't they caused by your hands?"
When Shen Jingan heard this, his face turned livid in an instant, his teeth clenched, and his originally gentle face was now twisted by anger, revealing a somewhat vicious look.
"You still dare to say that you have nothing to do with him?"
He almost roared as he said this, the jealousy and anger in his heart like a surging tide, completely drowning him.
