"How's the progress going? Speak up!" Ni Ling's bright eyes scanned Fei Hu. The woman looked stunning in her police uniform, exuding both beauty and authority, truly different from other women. This was the first time Fei Hu looked at Ni Ling so directly.
Li Si Niu gently nudged Fei Hu and said with a smile, "The captain is asking you a question. Why are you just staring at her? Don't you want to answer? Once you finish, the captain will let you look all you want."
"Old Li, all you know how to do is joke around. I asked you to protect him secretly, and look at you, surfacing in just a few days. You need to be careful; if you're not vigilant and slip up, all our efforts will be in vain," Ni Ling said, her expression turning serious, radiating an unspoken authority.
Fei Hu quickly pulled himself together and replied earnestly, "Captain, don't worry. Our cooperation is seamless; they won't discover us. However, I feel that the clues provided by Bai Jing seem a bit off. First of all, there are no black moles behind the ears of anyone matching the description."
Ni Ling's expression changed upon hearing this. She asked urgently, "What do you mean? Tell me everything in detail from start to finish so I can analyze where the problem lies."
Fei Hu paused briefly before recounting everything that had happened over the past two days in detail to Ni Ling. As she listened, Ni Ling furrowed her brows, continuously sketching on the paper with the pen in her hand. It was clear that things had developed beyond their expectations. With Ni Ling silent, Fei Hu and Li Si Niu could only sit there anxiously as time ticked by. Fei Hu's stomach began to growl uncontrollably; he instinctively pressed his hand against his slightly anxious belly.
Ni Ling looked up and stood up, grabbing a bag from the table. She said to Fei Hu and Li Si Niu, "I brought you some takeout from outside—just two portions—so eat quickly and clean your mouths afterward. Don't let anyone in the dorm notice anything." Upon hearing this, Fei Hu and Li Si Niu wasted no time grabbing the food and devoured it eagerly.
After Fei Hu and Li Si Niu finished eating, Wang Ling stood up and said, "You two need to be especially careful over the next couple of days; don't let anything go wrong. I'm heading back now to interrogate Bai Jing immediately to verify if she's lying. I'll come back tomorrow; if necessary, we can adjust our approach and steps."
On their way back to the dormitory, Li Si Niu teased Fei Hu, "Looks like you don't have that kind of luck with her. I thought she would stay with you longer, but she barely sat down before leaving."
Fei Hu scoffed, "Who cares? If I go out, there are plenty of beauties around me who are all better looking than her." He knew he was just daydreaming, but it was all he could do.
As soon as they returned to the dormitory, Chen Yibiao rushed over. He sat down quietly beside Fei Hu and lowered his voice, saying, "Boss, I'm really sorry. It's all Brother Bai's fault; he's such a romantic. When he heard that his long-time girlfriend was with you, he nearly went crazy and ended up confronting you. Thankfully you're magnanimous and didn't retaliate too much; otherwise, if this got out to some of the old-timers in Second District, we would be in big trouble for disrespecting hierarchy."
Fei Hu did not expect Chen Yibiao to be so articulate when discussing matters. It seemed that this person had quite a few tricks up his sleeve, and Fei Hu needed to pay more attention to him. Pretending to be angry, Fei Hu turned over and faced the wall, completely ignoring Chen Yibiao.
Seeing that Fei Hu was silent, Chen Yibiao genuinely thought he was upset. He hurriedly called out, "Zhang Gui, come over and give my brother a massage. He’s been worn out all day."
Zhang Gui was the most obedient to Chen Yibiao and quickly ran over, squatting by the bed to start massaging Fei Hu's legs. Surprisingly, the kid had good technique, making Fei Hu feel quite comfortable. However, Fei Hu couldn't fall asleep; after all, why should he be the one awake while someone else was massaging his legs? It felt a bit unfair.
Fei Hu sat up and patted Zhang Gui on the shoulder, saying, "Your technique is really good. I'm fine now; you can go back! Thank you."
Hearing Fei Hu's praise, Zhang Gui felt an indescribable joy in his heart and ran off with a smile.
Seeing that Fei Hu was in a good mood, Chen Yibiao sat down again and quietly said, "Brother Bai mentioned that he was a bit impulsive today and shouldn't have treated you like that. When he gets the chance, he will definitely come to apologize and let you punish him properly."
"Come on! Is that really necessary? But I don't want to make a move today; otherwise, right now he would be lying in bed—it's not fair. How was I supposed to know that Bai Jing is his girlfriend? Even if I did know, this woman has to be nice to me, and she's so charming that I can't help myself. Can you?" Fei Hu asked playfully.
Chen Yibiao chuckled and replied, "I can't help myself either, but she doesn't even look at me."
Fei Hu and Chen Yibiao gradually started chatting, putting aside the unpleasantness from the afternoon. However, Fei Hu wasn't genuinely interested in talking; he was just stalling for time to find out more about Bai Jing and her relationship with these people.
After joking around for a while, Fei Hu suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Brother Bai seems pretty shady; why do you all still call him Brother Bai? Doesn't that sound a bit funny?"
Fei Hu's casual question actually stumped Chen Yibiao. He pondered for a moment before saying, "Well! I'm not too sure either. Anyway, everyone calls him that; we got used to it and don’t think about whether it's shady or not anymore."
"Brother Bai doesn’t seem like it at all; he's so infatuated. What era are we in? It's just one woman! At first, I thought he was just pretending," Fei Hu said deliberately, watching for Chen Yibiao's reaction.
Chen Yibiao listened to Fei Hu and was first taken aback, then laughed, "They have been together for five or six years, and their feelings are deep. So when he hears that you slept with his girlfriend, it's no wonder he would go crazy."
"Come on! It's not worth it! This woman is a drug dealer. The man she found this time is called Lai Er. On the surface, I'm competing with him for her affection, but in reality, I'm helping Bai Jing. This woman has a conflict of interest with Lai Er, so when I made my move, I was a bit too rough. I didn't expect this kid to be so weak that I ended up sending him to the afterlife." Fei Hu revealed his cards and waited to see Chen Yibiao's reaction.
Once the words were out, Chen Yibiao's face showed no expression, but Fei Hu noticed that his hand resting by the bed was trembling slightly, indicating he had reacted. However, Fei Hu couldn't tell what exactly Chen Yibiao was afraid of.
Most people in the dormitory were asleep. Fei Hu noticed that Li Si Niu was pretending to sleep; he had been eavesdropping on Fei Hu and Chen Yibiao's conversation. The night seemed to be getting deeper, but Chen Yibiao showed no signs of leaving. He rubbed his bald head and quietly asked, "Brother, has Bai Jing already been cut off?"
The fox revealed its tail. Although Chen Yibiao was very cunning, Fei Hu's words compelled him to ask. It turned out he was worried about this. After a moment's thought, Fei Hu leaned closer to Chen Yibiao and said, "I came in here as a substitute for her. She is very safe now; once she has money, she will get me out."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yibiao quickly asked, "Such a big incident happened, and she's fine? That's a bit unbelievable. Did you manage to negotiate something for her? But serving time isn't easy; I don't understand how you could think that way."
"Hehe! Brother, if I serve a few days in jail, there will be a large sum of money for you to spend. Which one is worth it? I'm still young; there will be plenty of opportunities to spend money," Fei Hu said, pretending to have misspoken and quickly turned over to sleep. This made Chen Yibiao anxious; having reached this point in the conversation without clarity made it hard for him to sleep.
But Fei Hu ignored him and soon began snoring. However, this snoring was feigned; as he pretended to sleep, he actually fell into a deep slumber.
Things progressed slightly, and Fei Hu slept soundly. Just as he was having sweet dreams, someone nudged him awake. He opened his eyes to see Li Si Niu sitting by his bed. Rubbing his eyes, he said, "I was sleeping so well! Why are you making such a fuss? Go away and let me sleep a little longer." With that, Fei Hu pulled the blanket over his head.
"Get up! We have to go up the mountain to dig again today; the prison guards are knocking on the door," Li Si Niu said as he pulled the blanket off Fei Hu's head.
Hearing they had to go up the mountain again made Fei Hu feel drained. However, Li Si Niu suddenly said to him, "It might be really windy today; you need to pay attention." Fei Hu was taken aback and immediately understood what he meant; all drowsiness vanished in an instant.
