Tang Jiangyun did not like to talk much. After drinking the soup, he silently looked at Huang Junsheng. He did not take the initiative to find a topic to talk about.
Huang Junsheng was already used to Tang Jiangyunâs stuffy personality. The two of them sat there silently for a long time. When it was almost two oâclock, Huang Junsheng stood up. He said, âI have to go to work. I have to work overtime tonight. Iâll be busy.â
Tang Jiangyun finally said, âCaptain Huang, have you been so busy recently?â
âYeah, those poisonous rats have started to be arrogant again recently. As long as I donât loosen their skin, they will find trouble doing it.â Huang Junshengâs hatred for those drug dealers was worthy of the nickname of âHypocrite Huangâ that those drug dealers gave him.
Upon hearing this, Tang Jiangyun sighed and said, âWhy donât I rest for a few more days before going backâ¦â
âShut up! Youâre not allowed to go to work until youâre better.â
Huang Junsheng had a bad temper too. Tang Jiangyun knew that if he continued, Huang Junsheng would really get angry. He had to shut up.
Huang Junsheng and the rest left the police station at four in the afternoon. When it was around five oâclock, Huang Junsheng called Jiaren Wu and asked her to send Tang Jiangyun dinner. Tang Jiangyun lived alone. He was not in good health, and no one sent him food. Therefore, he could only eat takeaway.
Jiaren Wu would go to work at seven oâclock in the evening. When she received the call, she quickly made some dishes and packed them in a lunch box before sending them to Tang Jiangyunâs house.
Tang Jiangyun was indeed planning to eat takeaway. When Jiaren Wu arrived at his house, he had just received the takeaway and was about to eat it.
Tang Jiangyun was quite surprised to see Jiaren Wu.
âJiaren?â Tang Jiangyun did not know whether to laugh or cry when he saw the food box in her hand. âWhy? Are you planning to raise me as a disabled person?â
Jiaren Wu could not be bothered to say anything. She threw the takeaway he had ordered into the bin.
âCaptain Huang called me and asked me to send you food. You should take care too. Youâre a patient now, so stop eating dirty food.â Jiaren Wu opened the food boxes one by one. Tang Jiangyun glanced at them. The meat and vegetables were evenly matched, and the dishes were good. It was obvious that Jiaren Wu had made them with her heart.
His heart felt warm. During the meal, he lowered his head the entire time, his eyes still a little red.
Jiaren Wu was frightened by his reaction.
âHey, Brother Yun, donât cry!â Jiaren Wu did not expect that the quiet and expressionless Brother Yun would cry just like that.
Tang Jiangyun rubbed his eyes and said, âDonât laugh at me. After my parents divorced, both of them found a new family. It has been a long time since someone came to my house. I was too excited.â
Jiaren Wu felt that his explanation was a little forced, but she did not ask him further.
âOh right, Captain Huang and the rest have a mission tonight?â
Jiaren Wu did not avoid Tang Jiangyun and nodded. She said, âYes, Binjiang River is holding a cruise event tonight. We found out that someone is trading drugs on the cruise.â
Tang Jiangyun frowned and said, âThese drug dealers are getting more and more arrogant. Thereâs no end to them.â
âYeah.â
After Tang Jiangyun finished his meal, Jiaren Wu packed her lunch box and left.
Tang Jiangyun sat on his mahogany chair. He looked at the takeaway box in the bin, and his eyes started to turn red again.
Jiaren Wu placed the lunch box in the backseat of the car and went to work at the police station.
At eight oâclock in the evening, Wei Shuyi came to the police station. Tonight was Binjiang Cityâs cruise banquet, and the entire upper-class society was attending it. Qiao Jiusheng and Fang Yusheng had decided to splurge for once, so they had booked a cruise ship and invited Wei Shuyi.
Wei Shuyi originally planned to bring Jiaren Wu along, but Jiaren Wu had said that she could not take leave tonight; she could only regretfully be absent.
When Wei Shuyi arrived at the entrance of the police station, he did not go in but called Jiaren Wu.
âIâm at the door. Send me the keys.â
âOkay.â
Jiaren Wu took her car keys and went downstairs. When she saw Wei Shuyi, her mood improved. It was office hours now, and Jiaren Wu knew her limits. She did not do anything excessive with Wei Shuyi. She just handed the keys to him and said, âAlthough I canât attend the cruise banquet, you have to remember to take pictures for me and show me when you come back.â
Nodding, Wei Shuyi promised that he would take many pictures for her to see.
He opened the car and was surprised to see the food container in the back. âWhat happened to this food container?â
Jiaren Wu explained, âIsnât Brother Yun injured? Captain Huang was worried about him and asked me to make food for Brother Yun.â
Wei Shuyi frowned and asked her, âWho is Brother Yun?â
Jiaren Wu raised her eyebrows. âYou donât know him?â
Wei Shuyi shook his head in confusion.
Jiaren Wu smiled. âI guess you might not know Brother Yun, but you do know Miao Miao, right?â
Upon hearing Miao Miaoâs name, Wei Shuyi realized who Brother Yun was. âSo itâs that Ancient Poem Brother.â
âWhat Ancient Poem Brother?â Jiaren Wu interpreted the ancient poem as an ancient corpse.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Wei Shuyi guessed that she had misunderstood his meaning, so he had to explain, âItâs a poem.â
âHow do you know that our Brother Yun loves ancient poems?â
Wei Shuyi told Jiaren Wu about his encounter with Tang Jiangyun in the elevator a while ago. âWasnât Zhang Yang injured? When he was hospitalized, Miao Miao went to the hospital to see him. I happened to meet him in the elevator. He was browsing Weibo at that time, and I happened to see his post.â
Wei Shuyi impulsively recited the poem. âSpring reaches the end of the river, wild fragrance spreads to the sun. Birds dress in fragrant trees, people are separated by trees in the distant mountains.â After reciting it, Wei Shuyi said, âNot many people know this âSuburbs.â I couldnât tell that your Miao Miao was actually a hobbyist of ancient poems.â
Jiaren Wu said, âHe often posts poems and such on his Weibo. One just has to get used to it.â
âOkay.â Wei Shuyi got into the car and started the engine. Jiaren Wu thoughtfully stood aside.
Wei Shuyiâs car slowly drove past her. After he drove for a few meters, Jiaren Wu suddenly shouted, âWhat did you say the poem was called?â
After parking the car, Wei Shuyi stretched his head out of the window and looked at Jiaren Wu in confusion. âWhatâs wrong?â
Jiaren Wu ran over quickly. She felt that something was wrong.
She asked again, âWhat was the name of the poem you recited just now?â
ââSuburbs?'â
Jiaren Wu said softly, âThe suburbsâ¦â Her eyes suddenly widened. She grabbed Wei Shuyiâs hand and anxiously asked him, âDo you remember when he posted this poem?â
âI donât remember.â
Jiaren Wuâs reaction was too strange. Wei Shuyi was a little helpless. âIs there a problem?â
âIâm not sure either.â Jiaren Wuâs expression was a little ugly. She said, âGo back. Iâll contact you later.â Then, she quickly ran back to the police station.
Wei Shuyi frowned.
This is an ordinary poem. Thereâs nothing wrong with it.
When Jiaren Wu ran back to the office, her head was buzzing.
An unbelievable thought lingered in her mind.
Even though she knew that this thought was endless, once it sprouted, it could not help but take root, germinate, and bloom inside her heart.
Jiaren Wu sat down on a chair and quickly took out her phone from her bag to open Weibo.
She looked through the people she had been following but could not find Tang Jiangyun. Therefore, she raised her head and loudly asked her colleagues, âDoes anyone know Brother Yunâs Weibo name?â
âI know! Itâs called Cloud Roll.â
âOh.â
Jiaren Wu quickly searched for the username Cloud Roll.
Lin Song saw that she was playing with her phone during office hours and even ran over to knock her head, warning her, âVisiting Weibo during office hours. Be careful not to be caught and scolded.â
Jiaren Wu let him hit her. She remained silent and only searched for Cloud Roll.
Her reaction was a little strange.
Therefore, Lin Song sat down at her desk.
âWhat is it?â he asked.
Jiaren Wu remained silent.
She pursed her lips, her lips flat and her expression eager and serious.
Lin Song could not help but become serious.
Is there a problem with Brother Yunâs Weibo?
He stared at Jiaren Wuâs phone screen.
Jiaren Wu finally found Cloud Roll. There was no introduction on his Weibo, but there was very little news on it. Other than ancient poems, he had only a few cute pet videos that he occasionally forwarded. The latest post he updated was more than a month ago.
âSpring to the end of the river, wild fragrance to the sun. Birds pass through the fragrant trees, people are far away from the mountainous woods.â
Jiaren Wu paid special attention to the update time. It was the day they had gone out on a mission to destroy the gambling den in the suburbs.
The name of this poem was âSuburbs.â The place the police had gone to catch the drug dealers that day was also the suburbs.
Jiaren Wuâs fingers, which were holding the phone, turned pale and blue.
The second Weibo post was a video of a cute pet. There was nothing wrong with it.
The third Weibo post was three months ago.
He was called a good general on the Heavenly River, a showman in a tall old estate.
This poem described the pig in the twelve zodiacs and the Pigsy in Journey to the West.
There was nothing strange about this poem. However, on the day Chief Song died, the police had received news that a hidden drug lord was attending the Pig Slaughtering Banquet in Elder Gaoâs restaurant and was going to make a deal with a drug lord in a southern city.
In the end, the drug lord did not come.
If the Weibo post from a month ago was just a coincidence, then how could this post from three months ago be explained?
Lin Song saw that Jiaren Wuâs expression was getting darker and darker, and he became nervous as well. âIs there a problem with Brother Yunâs Weibo?â
Jiaren Wu wanted to say something, but she found it difficult to speak. It was as if a thorn was stuck in her throat, and she could not make a sound. At this moment, the top of Weibo reminded the user of a new status. Jiaren Wu quickly clicked on the refresh.
A new Weibo post appeared on Cloud Roll!
The west wind blew the old waves, and Xiangjun had a lot of white hair overnight. After getting drunk, she did not know that the sky was water, and the ship was filled with dreams that suppressed the galaxy.
Water, boat!
Boom!
Jiaren Wuâs mind was about to explode.
âS-Senior Brother!â Jiaren Wu stammered as she called him Senior Brother. Her face was pale from fear. She wanted to log out of Weibo and call Kang Hui, but she was too nervous; her hands trembled. When Lin Song saw this, he snatched her phone and asked, âWhat do you want to do? Iâll do it!â
Jiaren Wu grabbed him with great strength, making Lin Song grimace in pain.
âQuick, quickly call Senior Brother. The mole is Brother Yun.â After saying that, she saw that Lin Song was almost stunned. She anxiously shouted at him, âQuick!â
Lin Song returned to his senses and quickly opened the contact list to call Kang Hui.

Tonight, Binjiang Cityâs river was especially lively. Dozens of small cruises drove on the river.
It was Binjiang Cityâs cruise banquet tonight. Tourists could sit on the cruise and watch the night view of Binjiang City. They could also watch the fireworks performance and the rarely seen large-scale air 3D projection performance. Tonight, the image of the late singer Deng Lijun would perform in Binjiang Cityâs night sky in a 3D manner.
The river was the best spot to admire all of this.
Tonight, almost all the high society people in Binjiang City were gathered on the Binjiang River. Qiao Jiushengâs cruise had two floors and was quite crowded. There were the couple, everyone in the Fang family, Housekeeper Wan Lang, Aunt Jin, Qi Bufan, and Dai Chukong.
Qiao Jiusheng had put on a red neck dress, while Fang Yusheng had worn a white linen casual outfit. The two of them stood on the deck and chatted as they threw fish food into the river.
Dai Chukong had not worn her school uniform today. She had donned on a light pink waist-length dress. It was also very hot at night, so she had tied up her hair. Fang Yuqing was also here. She was about to graduate from Year Three and was already 18 years old. She had worn a slightly sexy yellow suspender dress.
The Jiang family had booked a cruise as well, but Jiang Wei had followed Fang Yuqing onto the Fang familyâs cruise.
A few youngsters were barbecuing by themselves. Xu Pingfei hugged Fang Shan and was busy taking selfies. Aunt Jin was taking care of the two other babies.
When Wei Shuyi arrived, the cruise was about to leave.
Upon seeing him, Qiao Jiusheng quickly waved. âBrother Wei, come up. You almost missed the time.â
Wei Shuyi stepped onto the cruise.
The cruise ship slowly drove away from the shore and slowly marched on the wide Binjiang City river.
Seeing that he was alone, Qiao Jiusheng asked, âDidnât Sister Jiaren come? Is she on night duty?â
âYes. She couldnât get away. I came alone.â
Wei Shuyi had a DSLR around his neck.
He looked at his watch and said, âThe performance will start in half an hour.â
âIt would be good if Sister Jiaren could come.â Knowing that Jiaren Wuâs work nature was different, Qiao Jiusheng did not say anything.
