Do you remember your mother's case?

With those words, Mr. Yin waved his hand grandly.

"Eagle of Justice" let out a scream as a powerful gust of wind pinned its body down, sending it flying.

It was a simple raising of the hand, yet it sent a grown man weighing over seventy kilograms flying.

Clearly, Mr. Yin had mobilized the abilities of a Path of the Gods player.

"Eagle of Justice" was filled with horror. Just as it was thrown into the stairwell, it saw the office door at the end of the corridor slam shut with a bang.

Its heart trembled, and it involuntarily swallowed, its expression shifting between worry and uncertainty.

Who exactly is "Fiercely Licking Cockroach Jade Feet"?

Just a nickname, yet it could make Mr. Yin, the highest-ranked player in the Public Security Bureau's Path of the Gods, who always maintained a calm demeanor, lose his composure upon hearing a name?

Half a day later, Yanjing Airport.

A handsome and upright figure emerged from the arrival hall, carrying a black backpack.

The youth's skin wasn't fair, but it wasn't dark either; it could only be described as a healthy tan.

However, his features were undeniably handsome, with a perfectly proportioned, high nose bridge and a pair of sharp, single eyelids. His pupils were dark and bright, as if ink had been spilled onto his eyeballs. Looking into them for too long felt like staring into a black hole, deep and wise.

It was difficult to discern any emotion or feeling from his calm eyes.

There was only an indescribable tranquility.

His demeanor was somewhat casual, and his attire was equally relaxed.

He wore a simple, all-black casual outfit, unremarkable and lacking any striking features. However, paired with his handsome face, styled with neat, short hair, and his tall stature of 1.8 meters, he was still a beautiful sight at the airport, even without any jewelry or designer brands.

He frequently attracted the sideways glances of many young women.

"Son, Dad's here, stop looking!"

Just then, someone who seemed to have been waiting outside spotted him. Before the youth could even pull out his phone, a short, stout young man with dark skin, wearing the light blue uniform of a sheriff, happily walked up to him upon seeing him.

He slung an arm around the youth's bicep.

"You look good, kid. Did you get checked out these past couple of days? How were the results?"

Upon seeing the newcomer, Qin Shang's expression softened into a slight smile, and he then tilted his chin up.

"Are you looking for your own death, motherfucker?"

Hearing this, the dark-skinned young man greeting him was immediately taken aback.

"What did you say?"

"I told you to read more books, but you insisted on herding cattle. Do you know what that means? You're asking for death, you unfilial son! You want to usurp my position the moment you show up. It seems I haven't disciplined you enough."

"You can't even distinguish between our father-son roles anymore, can you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Shang backhanded the back of his best friend's head.

The blow made Xu Mingyang's eyes water with pain.

"Damn it, Qin Shang, you bastard! I was worried about your condition, and if you weren't a patient, I'd show you the price of assaulting a police officer..."

The two continued to bicker all the way to the car until Xu Mingyang led Qin Shang to the parking lot and stopped in front of a police car.

Qin Shang's lips twitched slightly.

"You're picking me up in a police car!?"

"It's not your first time riding in one, what's the big deal..."

With that, Xu Mingyang quickly slid into the driver's seat of the police car.

After a moment, a head popped out. Seeing Qin Shang's twitching eyelids and his face filled with reluctance, he said unhappily, "Man, I took time off work specifically to pick you up. It's hard to get away from my captain, so I had to say I was out on patrol."

"I've seen people use public funds and vehicles for personal gain, but who uses a private car to do official business?"

"Enough with the small talk, get in the car..."

Hearing this, Qin Shang sighed.

It was true, his arrival was sudden, and having someone pick him up was already good.

It was still working hours for Old Xu, so he couldn't expect him to specifically take time off to pick him up.

Using the excuse of patrolling was the only way to fool their captain at the Public Security Bureau. It was already great that his best friend could come!

"Thanks for the trouble..."

Qin Shang got into the passenger seat and fastened his seatbelt.

Xu Mingyang pouted unhappily at his words. "We're father and son, don't be so formal!"

"Shut up and let's go!"

"Where to?"

"Xiangya Linshu!"

With that, Xu Mingyang slammed on the brakes as soon as he started the car, his voice rising several decibels.

"Where!?"

"Xiangya Linshu!"

Qin Shang frowned and repeated.

"Why are you going there? That's a famous high-end residential area in Yanjing. Everyone who lives there is either rich or noble."

"I heard you need at least eight figures to afford to live in that complex. The dogs there eat delicacies. Why are you running to Xiangya Linshu?"

"I was asked by a friend to deliver a message."

Qin Shang's lips twitched. He hadn't expected that the person Grandpa Niu had asked him to find seemed to be a wealthy big shot.

Xu Mingyang didn't ask any more questions. He wasn't Jiang Qiqi, so why would he be so nosy?

When Xu Mingyang received Qin Shang's text message at noon, he knew that Qin Shang must have had something urgent to suddenly come to Yanjing.

However, he tactfully didn't mention Jiang Qiqi's name.

During this period, ever since Jiang Qiqi went missing, Qin Shang had been commuting between the Public Security Bureau and Jiang Qiqi's company every day.

He had come to Yanjing once in between, but since he couldn't get any clues, Qin Shang had gone back.

At that time, he was about to undergo his second round of chemotherapy and his body couldn't handle the strain.

However, what he was most concerned about was clearly his wife Jiang Qiqi's situation.

Jiang Qiqi's disappearance was as clean as if she had evaporated into thin air. Qin Shang couldn't get any other clues besides from the Public Security Bureau and Jiang Qiqi's company.

This was because Jiang Qiqi was an orphan, with no parents.

Initially, Sheriff Xu Mingyang met Jiang Qiqi through a case!

The girl was the victim.

Later, Xu Mingyang organized a dinner party, and Jiang Qiqi also attended.

What was even more surprising was that the sweet and lively Jiang Qiqi fell for Qin Shang at first sight.

This made countless admirers weep in the middle of the night.

After all, Jiang Qiqi was outstanding in both personality and looks, and her lively and sweet disposition made her a dream girl for many.

Even Xu Mingyang initially had some selfish intentions and contacted the girl privately because of this.

Who knew that his good buddy Qin Shang, who had just been released from prison not long ago, would snatch her away.

Perhaps they were kindred spirits, both being orphans.

Therefore, after Qin Shang and Jiang Qiqi got together, their relationship quickly heated up.

Xu Mingyang didn't feel anything special, after all, he wasn't a villain.

Besides envy and blessings, was he going to turn against his brother of so many years for a woman?

"Oh, right, there's a conclusion about that incident of yours. I'll tell you later..."

"?"

"Are you a riddle-maker? What conclusion about my past incident?"

Just then, Xu Mingyang seemed to remember something and suddenly spoke.

Qin Shang narrowed his eyes.

"Bro, if you have something to say, just say it. Don't keep me in suspense, okay?"

"I'm a brain cancer patient. Isn't it a bit immoral for you to keep me in suspense like this?"

"Who knows when you'll remember it next time? If you tell me you forgot what you were going to say, I'll die with regret..."

"Ptooey, ptooey, don't say such unlucky things."

Xu Mingyang coughed dryly, his hands on the steering wheel. He then glanced at Qin Shang with a conflicted expression and said hesitantly, "It's about your mother's case."

"Do you still remember it?"
