"So, Director Zhou, how have these past few months in Jiangnan been? Having so much fun you've forgotten about home?"
After their hug, Shan Wenxu looked Zhou Yi up and down and asked with a smile.
Director Zhou certainly lived up to his reputation. Cracking major cases was as routine to him as eating and drinking. In less than two months after arriving in Changtian, he had solved both the girls' Dormitory Massacre and the major arson case with ease. He had even followed the trail to an enormous scandal and taken down the entire Zhao Group.
Then came the familiar pattern: wherever Director Zhou went, corrupt officials fell one after another. The name "Officialdom Killer" had once again sent shock waves through the world.
"How could I? I still remember your advice, Brother Shan: better a handful of dirt from home than ten thousand taels of gold elsewhere," Zhou Yi answered solemnly.
Shan Wenxu burst out laughing. That had been a drunken slip of the tongue during their last drinking session. He was from Jiangnan himself, yet he had told a man from Liaodong heading to a new post in Jiangnan not to grow attached to his hometown. It was funny whichever way he looked at it.
"Shall we get out of here and find somewhere for a drink?" Captain Xiao-no, Xiao Han, who had already been promoted to major-gave Zhou Yi a light punch in the chest, then lowered his voice to invite him out drinking.
Zhou Yi and Jian Shuyue exchanged a glance and nodded.
Shan Wenxu also said he was fine with that.
Tian Tian hesitated, but Jian Shuyue and Ye Ziqing linked arms with her on either side.
"I'll tell Uncle Xu. You and I can stay together tonight!"
Jian Shuyue took charge of everything.
