“Come!”

“Tell me!”

“Explain yourself!”

“Why the hell did you go bother that girl for no reason?”

“They’ve all come looking for you!”

Old Mai stood in his office, pounding the table loudly. Zhou Qiang stood beside Su Xuan, not daring to say a word. In contrast, Su Xuan remained calm, facing Old Mai’s raging demeanor.

“Chief Mai, you should already know why I went to see those people,” Su Xuan replied calmly. “Let’s not beat around the bush; I believe we need to thoroughly investigate this matter.”

Su Xuan, against Zhou Qiang’s desperate “no, don’t do it” looks, placed all the transcripts and documents they had collected today on Old Mai’s desk.

Old Mai didn’t look at them. He kept his head down, raised an eyebrow, and said, “Impressive, young man.”

“You’ve got some guts.”

Even with my attitude, you still dare to act so arrogantly in front of me…”

Impressive, this young man caught his eye!

As Old Mai pondered, he exuded a powerful aura. But Su Xuan…

Well, he wasn’t afraid at all.

The entire office was silent, filled with an oppressive atmosphere, and no one dared to speak.

Zhou Qiang took a deep breath and dared not utter a word. Lin Can sat on a chair, observing this amusing situation, turning his head to and fro.

Oh my, look at Old Mai acting all high and mighty, trying to intimidate people. Haha, didn’t see that coming, did you, Chief Ma? Su Xuan isn’t afraid at all.

Tsk, Su Xuan, he’s something else!

“Swish—”

At a moment when everyone was quiet, Old Mai opened the documents that Su Xuan had handed over. Even though he had already learned about the situation from various family members, when he saw the information on the documents, he tightly pressed his lips together, and his eyes gradually grew cold.

In this moment, his thoughts aligned with Su Xuan and Zhou Qiang.

“What’s your plan?” Old Mai asked, his face turning grim.

With an unpleasant expression, he closed the documents and handed them to Lin Can. Old Mai looked at Su Xuan with a serious expression, wanting to know his plan.

In response to his question, Su Xuan and Zhou Qiang exchanged a glance. Su Xuan then spoke, “The deceased is already dead, and, logically, we should prioritize the deceased.”

As soon as he uttered these words, the expressions of the other three people in the office changed. Zhou Qiang wanted to speak but was silenced by Old Mai’s gaze.

Compared to Zhou Qiang, Old Mai believed in Su Xuan’s approach. Su Xuan continued, “However, the crimes he committed require us, as police officers, to expose all wrongdoing. We cannot betray our uniforms and the badges on our shoulders.”

“Chief Mai, please give the order!”

Su Xuan’s words were resolute and forceful. As soon as he finished speaking, the entire office fell silent. Everyone’s eyes were fixed on Su Xuan. They hadn’t expected him to have such unwavering determination, especially Zhou Qiang. He widened his eyes, finding it almost unbelievable. Su Xuan… How could he be so impressive? Did he even realize what he just said?

“Hahaha!” Suddenly, Old Mai, who had been observing Su Xuan, burst into laughter. He slapped the table, in a good mood, and said, “Good! Since you’re so determined, I’ll leave it to you. If you can resolve this matter, I’ll give you a bonus!”

Special circumstances required special measures. The deceased, Feng Weixiong, might have looked decent on the surface, but his actions were far from that. Even Old Mai, after examining the documents Su Xuan had presented, couldn’t help but see him as a real scoundrel.

“Deal! I guarantee that I’ll complete the task!” Su Xuan replied promptly, standing tall and saluting Old Mai with a loud voice.

Old Mai, who had been somewhat stern, couldn’t help but crack a smile. “Alright, enough with the formalities! Get to work!”

With that, Old Mai noticed Zhou Qiang standing next to Su Xuan.

It suddenly occurred to him that this case had originally been Zhou Qiang’s responsibility. He immediately added, “Zhou Qiang, this case was originally yours. You and Su Xuan will go together. Once this case is closed, I’ll reward both of you!”

Zhou Qiang was taken aback. He hadn’t expected such a good turn of events. He thought Su Xuan might take the case away from him. Excited, he followed Su Xuan’s lead and saluted. “Yes!”

Chief Mai,” Su Xuan said, echoing Zhou Qiang’s enthusiasm. “We guarantee that we’ll complete the task!”

Watching the two young men clowning around, Old Mai was at a loss for words and quickly ushered them out. “Alright, alright! Both of you, get out of here!” Avoiding a scolding, Su Xuan and Zhou Qiang hurried away. With Old Mai’s instructions, their next steps were clear. However, they soon realized that the deceased’s family members were unwilling to expose their son or brother’s shameful secrets. This was especially true for Feng Weixiong’s team and his talent agency, who were not keen on the police revealing what Feng Weixiong had done. They had plans to continue making money off his reputation.

Several days had passed since the death, yet the anchors in Feng Weixiong’s agency were still speaking as if he were alive. While their behavior was unseemly, it was their source of income.

Feng Weixiong’s fans, separated by screens, could never truly know what kind of person he was in private. Moreover, Feng Weixiong had passed away while live-streaming, right in front of his fans. It was a few devoted fans who had collectively called 911 and an ambulance.

It could be said that many fans were struggling to accept Feng Weixiong’s death. They couldn’t believe it. How could such a talented streamer just die? Even the special makeup that Feng Weixiong had promised to wear for them remained unfinished. It was a real shame. How could he be gone?

In this situation, fans naturally flocked to two streamers who had been close to Feng Weixiong. These two streamers quickly turned on their waterworks during their broadcasts, expressing their “missing” of Feng Weixiong and reminiscing about their collaborations.

Fans didn’t care whether the streamers genuinely missed him or not. Since they had worked with Feng Weixiong, these two streamers must be just like their beloved streamer.

Feng Weixiong’s fans ended up staying with these two streamers due to their close relationship with him and their similarity in streaming styles. The potential audience that was drawn in by this connection was substantial.

The talent agency representing Feng Weixiong also began to covet the attention. They encouraged their other streamers to incorporate Feng Weixiong’s popularity into their broadcasts.

As a result, the news of Feng Weixiong’s death on the internet gained even more attention. More attention meant more traffic, and that, in turn, meant more money.

In this situation, could they let Su Xuan and his team possibly expose what Feng Weixiong had been involved in?

Impossible!

Inside the conference room, representatives from Feng Weixiong’s talent agency faced Su Xuan with solemn expressions.

“Officer, Mr. Feng is already deceased. You cannot expose his actions in this manner. It’s a lack of respect for the deceased..”
