As he was talking, Xiao Tang ran over and tried to catch up with Yang Ming. Captain Zhang was a little annoyed. “Can you not cause trouble? How can I do something that violates my principles?”

Xiao Tang calmed down after hearing Captain Zhang’s words. When he thought about it, Captain Zhang was usually industrious and conscientious. He had never done anything that broke the law or violated discipline.

“What happened just now?” Although Xiao Tang stopped, he still looked at Captain Zhang with considerable doubt. “Why did you let him go? Isn’t he an important suspect in this case?”

“Previously, I thought so, too, but now, I’m sure that he is not.” Captain Zhang waved his hand. “If he did it, he didn’t have to deny it; he could tell us frankly.”

“How is this possible? Is Yang Ming stupid? How can he tell you this kind of thing? If he pled guilty, wouldn’t he have to be arrested?” Xiao Tang felt that Captain Zhang’s words were somewhat unbelievable.

“Arrest him?” Captain Zhang shook his head. “Do you know Gao Changfu?”

“Gao Changfu? Isn’t he…” Xiao Tang’s face changed. “Isn’t he someone from the Supernatural Investigation Bureau?”

“Yes, he is a permanent staff of the Supernatural Investigation Bureau on our Mount Jing side. When I was handling a case not long ago, I brought you along to get in touch with him.” Captain Zhang nodded and said.

“However, how does this have anything to do with Yang Ming… Could it be…?” Xiao Tang was not stupid and immediately heard something from Captain Zhang’s words.

“Yes, Yang Ming is also one of their people, just on the Song Jiang side…” Captain Zhang nodded. “Moreover, it seems that Yang Ming’s position is higher than Gao Changfu. Listening to him and Xia Bingbao’s phone conversation, it was very casual. It does not seem like a superior and subordinate relationship; it is more like friends.”

” Ah ! Yang Ming is really one of their people!” Xiao Tang was shocked, then suddenly nodded. “No wonder you said that he did not do it. If he did, he wouldn’t deny it. Now, it seems that this is indeed the case. Yang Ming has no need to deny anything. If he did it, he would naturally admit it.”

“This case is likely to involve some deeper matters. It might be that someone behind-the-scenes has resentment against Yang Ming, so the case has been handed over to the Supernatural Investigation Bureau for follow-up processing. Our investigation here can be closed.” Captain Zhang said, “Let’s go. Maybe only the bureau chief knows about this matter. Gao Changfu will go to the police station to take over the case overnight, so don’t simply spout nonsense.”

“I understand.” Xiao Tang nodded solemnly. He said, somewhat embarrassed, “I almost misunderstood you just now. I’m really sorry.”

“It’s fine. Your spirit of questioning and discovering problems is still commendable, but don’t be so impulsive in the future.” Captain Zhang patted Xiao Tang’s shoulder. “Also, your attitude just now almost offended the people on that side. Yang Ming doesn’t care; if he did care, I can’t even protect you.”

After Xiao Tang listened to Captain Zhang, he had some lingering fears in his heart. Come to think of it, there is indeed some problem with my attitude. It seems that I can’t do this anymore.

Captain Zhang and Xiao Tang returned directly to Mount Jing, while Yang Ming returned to his car.

“What happened? What murder case?” Sun Jie was a little scared when she saw Yang Ming being taken away by the police just now, but then she remembered Yang Ming’s other identity, and she was relieved. As expected, Yang Ming returned safely.

“It’s nothing. They thought I killed Sui Yuejin.” Yang Ming shrugged. “But it wasn’t me. I also want to find this person.”

Sun Jie nodded. She had heard about it before. “How did the police find you?”

“I did go to Sui’s Group before, and I was recorded by the surveillance video. However, at that time, Sui Yuejin was still not dead. I went to Sui’s Group before he was shot. After I left, Sui Yuejin was shot, but the surveillance video inside Sui’s Group was taken away.” Yang Ming simply said to Sun Jie, “This morning, a cleaner in Mount Jing picked up a videotape while cleaning the street. On the videotape, it was the video content of when I went to Sui’s Group…”

“Someone wants to frame you?” Sun Jie immediately heard something unusual from this.

“Clever.” Yang Ming nodded. “It should be the behind-the-scenes boss. He looked for Tian Long and Sui Yuejin to harm me, but he failed. Therefore, he cast aside this chess piece, Sui Yuejin, and used his death to frame me.”

“I don’t know what Uncle Tian will think when he knows about part of the whole story. If he did not act in the nick of time, the next one to die might be him.” Sun Jie sighed. “This behind-the-scenes boss is really an influence that lingers on.”

“He can do as he pleases. It doesn’t itch anymore when there are many lice. I am used to it.” Yang Ming was now used to the behind-the-scenes boss’ behavior; there was no special feeling.

” Hehe , that’s easy for you to say.” Sun Jie sighed with relief when she saw Yang Ming without any fear. “Tell me. What is the benefit of this behind-the-scenes boss in harming you like this? The police are not fools. Do they still count on you to kill others and pay for it?”

“It’s not that; the behind-the-scenes boss is not so mentally handicapped.” Yang Ming said, “The strongest possibility is that they want the police to detain me in the detention center, and then they will attack me when I’m most defenseless and complacent.”

“Making a move in the detention center?” Sun Jie was stunned and nodded. “You mean, they want to attack you when you are trapped in the detention center?”

“It’s true,” said Yang Ming. “They might poison the food, or suffocate me to death with a pillow when I sleep.”

“This method is simple, as long as there is the right connection, they can be assigned to a prison cell with you.” Sun Jie said, “But why don’t you beat them at their own game? Seize the person in the detention center?”

“Do you think that the behind-the-scenes boss will do it himself and go undercover in the detention center to harm me?” Yang Ming smiled bitterly and said, “He would still look for a fall guy from his underlings. So what if I catch him? These people from the lower levels simply don’t know about the behind-the-scenes boss. This is not the first time.”

” Oh ? So, you have already fought with the behind-the-scenes boss once before?” asked Sun Jie curiously.

“I not only fought with him once, but it’s been several times.” Yang Ming smiled and said, “If there is time, I will tell you.”

“Then, what about right now? Isn’t there time now? Aren’t you able to drive with your eyes closed?” After Sun Jie knew about Yang Ming’s special abilities, she was not afraid of any danger.

“Well, since you are willing to listen, I will start from the beginning.” Yang Ming nodded and told Sun Jie everything that had been said before with Jing Xiaolu.

Although Sun Jie had a much better psychological quality than Jing Xiaolu, Sun Jie still exclaimed in surprise when Yang Ming mentioned the thrilling parts. When Yang Ming finished, Sun Jie finally took a sigh of relief. She patted her chest. “You have experienced so many things. No wonder you have grown up so much in half a year. Even I don’t know you.”

“People… are all shaped under pressure…” Yang Ming exclaimed. But when he finished, he felt that this sentence was a bit unpleasant. Previously, he saw similar jokes on the Internet, so he couldn’t help but feel awkward.

Sun Jie obviously also saw the joke; she laughed twice and said, “But it’s very good. At least, I think there is no age gap between us.”

“What’s good about that? In a few years, I have to treat you as a child.” Yang Ming shook his head and said with a smile.

“Alright, then should I call you uncle?” Sun Jie did not back down; she raised her eyebrows and asked.

Yang Ming was a little bit fired up by this nonsense address. “Do you have special hobbies?”

“I always have; didn’t you know?” Sun Jie winked. “Why? Do you want to try it later?”

…

Zhou Jiajia didn’t expect this research team to have such a large amount of work every day. After only joining for two days, she was very busy. However, Zhou Jiajia felt very fulfilled; she had not felt this kind of thirst for new knowledge in a long time.

After joining the research team, Zhou Jiajia found that there was too much that she needed to learn. Some of the things she had known before were not enough. Until now, Zhou Jiajia finally realized that people specialized in different fields. She had an in-depth knowledge of hacking and decoding skills, but in the application of wireless network technology, she was much more inadequate. Zhou Jiajia had not heard of many professional concepts and agreements before.

Therefore, Zhou Jiajia knew that although she had some strength, she was able to enter the research team mostly because Xiao Qing was Yang Ming’s godsister. She couldn’t use this as a basis for her to stay in the research team. She had to rely on her own abilities to get everyone’s approval.

She informed Chen Mengyan that she had to stay at school in the future. Chen Mengyan knew that Xiao Qing was Yang Ming’s godsister, so Chen Mengyan was naturally very assured that Zhou Jiajia was living with her. There was no need to be afraid of any dangerous things happening.

“Jiajia, why don’t you sleep?” Xiao Qing got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet and saw that the light was still shining on Zhou Jiajia’s small bed on the opposite side of the dormitory. It seemed that Zhou Jiajia had not slept yet.

“Me? Sister Xiao Qing, did I wake you up?” Zhou Jiajia looked up apologetically. She privately called Xiao Qing as Sister Xiao Qing. “I am reading the information, and I forgot the time. I didn’t know that it was already past twelve o’clock!”

“No, I was just going to the toilet at night and saw that you haven’t slept yet.” Xiao Qing smiled. “You are working too hard.”

Zhou Jiajia yawned and put the netbook in her hand down. “I still have a lot to learn. I can’t let others say that I am a research team member who came in through the back door, right?”

“How could that be? At least, you are much better than us in looking for loopholes and bugs. The improvements you suggested are also very acute and hits the nail on the head. Everyone admires you.” Xiao Qing said truthfully, “These people all have a background in orthodox technology; they are less involved in hacking techniques. They only pay attention to the efficiency of the wireless protocol but ignore the security. It just so happens that you make up for this.”

“That’s good. I thought I was useless.” After listening to Xiao Qing’s praise, Zhou Jiajia was delighted. “Sister Xiao Qing, I have almost finished reading all the information you gave me. I don’t understand some of the information. I will ask you tomorrow.”

“What? You have finished reading? So fast?!” Xiao Qing was a little surprised. The information she gave to Zhou Jiajia was, at least, a few hundred megabytes, all of which were documents. She did not expect Zhou Jiajia to finish reading so quickly.

” En , I have touched on some of these topics before, so I processed it faster. However, for unfamiliar topics, there are some things that I don’t understand.” Zhou Jiajia smiled somewhat embarrassingly.

“Then, after I go to the toilet, let’s discuss it. It just so happens that I slept for a while, and I am not very sleepy.” Xiao Qing stood up, put on slippers, and went out of the dormitory. “You wait for me.”

“How is this proper…” Before Zhou Jiajia finished talking, Xiao Qing had already left the room. Zhou Jiajia was very touched. Although Sister Xiao Qing was Yang Ming’s godsister, she cared for her in every possible way. No matter if it were on studies or in life, Xiao Qing always granted whatever was asked for, and she cared for Zhou Jiajia more than her own sister did.

Sister Xiao Qing is a very good person; I just don’t know why isn’t she married yet. Or does she have any secret relationships? Zhou Jiajia began to let her imaginations run wild as she waited for Xiao Qing to come back. In the past few days, Zhou Jiajia found out about Xiao Qing’s actual age, whereby she was already thirty-years-old, but it wasn’t noticeable on the outside. She looks more like a twenty-two-year-old. Although she is more mature than me, she is not too mature.

Zhou Jiajia had asked her; she was still not married and had no boyfriend. This made Zhou Jiajia somewhat surprised. Sister Xiao Qing’s appearance was one of the best, and her character was also excellent. Zhou Jiajia did not know why there was no boyfriend.

Xiao Qing pushed open the door and came back. Zhou Jiajia put away these messy thoughts and sat on the bedside with a serious expression. Xiao Qing also sat on Zhou Jiajia’s bed.

“Sister Xiao Qing, your skin is good.” Zhou Jiajia looked closely at Xiao Qing’s face with no make-up and praised her.

“How is my skin good? I’m already thirty-years-old. Your skin is the one that looks good; it can even squeeze out water.” Xiao Qing touched Zhou Jiajia’s face and smiled.

“When I become thirty, I don’t know if I will have such good skin as Sister Xiao Qing.” Zhou Jiajia shook her head. “You are really good at taking care of your skin.”

“When we have time, we can discuss methods of maintaining a youthful appearance, hehe.” Xiao Qing smiled. “Now, let’s look at your questions first?”

” En .” Zhou Jiajia nodded, quickly picked up the netbook, and opened a document that recorded all the questions she encountered.

Time unconsciously slipped away; when Xiao Qing answered Zhou Jiajia’s last question, the marble white color of the dawn sky was revealed. When Xiao Qing opened the dormitory’s window, the fresh air blew in, and they became awake. Another busy and stressful day had begun.

“It’s so fast; I didn’t even feel it. Sister Xiao Qing, I’ve delayed your rest.” Zhou Jiajia apologetically lifted up the fringe in front of her forehead, closed the netbook, and placed it on the bedside table. She also stood up and stretched her body.

“I’m used to it already. It is enough to sleep for three or four hours a day. On the contrary, I’m afraid that you can’t handle it. It’s only five o’clock, why don’t you sleep for a while?” asked Xiao Qing.

“No, I often go to bed very late and wake up very early.” Zhou Jiajia smiled. “When I researched hacking techniques in the past, I often do research through the night… and I’m not self-aware.”

“It seems that all of us who do computer science are the same…” Xiao Qing felt that there were many common topics with Zhou Jiajia. Even if she really disclosed her relationship with Yang Ming in the future, at least, Zhou Jiajia would not object.

“Then, why don’t we go out for a walk? Eat some breakfast?” suggested Zhou Jiajia.

“Okay, it’s good to go out and walk. I have not left the room for two days!” Xiao Qing nodded. They were busy researching the subject for the past two days. Three meals were bought by others; they didn’t even go downstairs before.

Zhou Jiajia quickly dressed, took her toiletries, and walked to the bathroom with Xiao Qing. On the way, Xiao Qing looked at Zhou Jiajia and giggled. “Yang Ming didn’t contact you these days? Doesn’t he miss you when he realizes that you didn’t go back?”

“Yang Ming has been busy with something for the past two days.” Zhou Jiajia shook her head. “It seems that it is a very important thing. Sister Mengyan said that Yang Ming has not gone home. He made a few calls midway to say that he is handling some matters.”

Xiao Qing nodded. Yang Ming also called her and said that he would come and find her when he was free, but he never came. She thought that it was delayed by something significant.

After washing up, Xiao Qing and Zhou Jiajia went downstairs. The Song Jiang Industry University in the morning was very lively. In the morning, students were reading, and athletes were exercising. It was thriving everywhere.

“Suddenly, I feel this kind of life is far away from me.” Zhou Jiajia looked at the students who were reading in the morning and could not help but sigh.

“Who asked you to learn so much?” Xiao Qing shook her head and smiled. “If you like it, you can read books on campus every morning.”

“Forget it. It’s too busy here.” Zhou Jiajia smiled. “I’m just saying. Right, Sister Xiao Qing, why don’t you find a boyfriend? You are so beautiful. There must be a lot of people pursuing you, right?”

“I knew that you will definitely ask this question.” Xiao Qing looked at Zhou Jiajia and sighed. “You held back for a long time, right?”

Zhou Jiajia nodded with a blushing face when Xiao Qing said so. Indeed, she wanted to ask Xiao Qing this question before, but they were not very familiar at first, so it was hard to open up and inquire.

However, with their contact in the past few days, as they worked, ate, and stayed together, their relationship became very close. Therefore, it did not feel a bit rash nor awkward when Zhou Jiajia asked this question now.

Zhou Jiajia really regarded Xiao Qing as her own sister. She started calling her Sister Xiao Qing entirely because of Yang Ming’s relationship, but now, it was from the heart. Zhou Jiajia was very touched by Xiao Qing’s care and concern for her.

“I was wondering, how can Sister Xiao Qing not have a boyfriend?” Zhou Jiajia said, “You are more beautiful than me, mature and sexy, and you are intelligent…”

” Hehe , since you asked, then there’s no harm in telling you…” Xiao Qing said, “I graduated from Song Jiang Industry University. When I was in college, I had a boyfriend named Song Hang… ”
