Chapter 734: Chapter 701: Don’t Overthink Things That Aren’t Yours

Ji Weihua felt a chill just listening, and shook his head. "The other party’s identity..."

"That is still unclear, ah! Our expert has arrived."

At the same moment, in the same position, this man always appeared before him in an unchanging manner. With Xu Ming’s excitement, Ji Weihua immediately saw the person walking in through the main entrance, carrying a woman in his arms. This unique way of appearing left a lasting impression on him.

Mu Rongyun was used to Xu Ming’s excitement; this kind of greeting happened almost every day. "Forensic Mu, can we uncover one of their true appearances today?"

Mu Rongyun shook his head, glancing inside; Xiao Lin wasn’t in the room, but there was a stranger instead, and judging by his aura, he was someone trained in martial arts; his gait suggested military experience.

Wu Shuang was placed in a chair on the side, perhaps due to the weather, she felt a little uncomfortable. The tightness in her chest made Mu Rongyun want to abandon today’s work, but she insisted on coming, making him quite unhappy at the moment.

"Are you the expert sent by the municipal office?" Without waiting for Xu Ming to introduce him, Ji Weihua stepped forward to greet him but unexpectedly met with silence. Mu Rongyun didn’t even have the desire to look up, already searching for the fragments of bone he needed with his gloved hands. "Haha!" Ji Weihua retracted his hand and shoved it into his pocket. "Experts sent from above are very dedicated!"

"Director Ji, let’s discuss inside. Forensic Mu doesn’t like being disturbed while working." Xu Ming chuckled from the side. Mu Rongyun gave Xu Ming some face by shifting his gaze from Xu Ming to Ji Weihua, then merely responded with a hum and ignored him afterward.

"And this is?" Better ignored than dodged, a hum was enough to dismiss him, Ji Weihua noted Mu Rongyun in his mind and turned his attention to Wu Shuang. No matter how one looked at it, this was his woman; they were inseparable even during work, openly flaunting their affection.

Wu Shuang didn’t expect this man to focus his attention on her. She raised her head blankly, her vacant eyes betraying her weakness. This woman seemed to be ill, Ji Weihua thought, perhaps also having strange tastes just like the eccentric person?

"I..." Mu Rongyun placed down the bones in his hand and walked inconspicuously to Wu Shuang’s side, placing a hand on her shoulder. Understanding his intention, Wu Shuang closed her mouth.

Once again with that same look, Ji Weihua stared into Mu Rongyun’s eyes, instinctively recalling another person with eyes so chilling. "Director Xu, I have some documents here that might be of use to you."

Giving himself an exit, Ji Weihua didn’t continue to make a fool next to the remains, but he did remember Wu Shuang’s face, considering her protection by this man as useful leverage. If they really pieced together the character’s profile, she could also be a threat.

As if seeing through Ji Weihua’s intention, as he stepped into the hall and was about to take another step, he found he couldn’t move—his shoelace was nailed to the concrete floor by a bone with steel spikes. Ji Weihua broke out in a cold sweat; he was, after all, a former special forces member, and such strength couldn’t be matched even with another ten or twenty years of training.

Who was this person? Ji Weihua couldn’t help but overlap him with Dragon Soul. He weighed the bone in his hand—this was a warning. Xu Ming watched the two, starting to sweat on his forehead. This was a difficult situation; Mu Rongyun’s personality was known to everyone there—it was best not to provoke him, and only his old boss could possibly handle him. However, Ji Weihua was his superior and should be given face.

"Good skill, but I don’t know what you mean by this?" Ji Weihua knew he was no match but refused to lose face.

"Warning! Don’t think recklessly about what isn’t yours." Mu Rongyun replied bluntly.

"Haha!" Ji Weihua’s pupils constricted. He threw the bone back to Mu Rongyun and, along with Xu Ming, returned to the office area. Face could be demanded anytime, but fighting for it now was courting death.

"Director Xu, does that expert have some sort of background? He seems difficult to deal with. Do you find it awkward working with him?" Ji Weihua immediately displayed a caring superior’s demeanor as he sat down, picking up the tea he wanted to drink but put it down remembering the tea leaves. "I just noticed, your facilities here are rather outdated. The working conditions are quite harsh. I’ll report to the district chief about getting funds to improve your amenities."

"There’s really no need; as long as we can work, it’s fine. There’s nowhere to put anything extra, and it’s already crowded when everyone’s out on fieldwork." Xu Ming, with his signature gentle smile, lit a cigarette.

Not wasting more time, Ji Weihua pulled out a file from his bag, putting on a serious face towards Xu Ming. "These documents might be useful for you, regarding some tiny issues during the Beigong construction."

"Oh, really?" Xu Ming looked excited, eagerly pulling out the documents. Just one glance, and his mouth gaped wide open in disbelief as he looked at Ji Weihua. "Isn’t this information about the Hengfei Group? How is it related to Beigong?"

"Yan Fengying has an unusual relationship with President Yan of the Hengfei Group; they are direct relatives." Ji Weihua anticipated such a reaction from Xu Ming—the more surprised, the easier his intervention.

"Ah!" Xu Ming exclaimed lightly, scrutinizing Ji Weihua’s documents all over again, only to uncover a problem. "Director Ji, I have a question I’d like to ask."

"Go ahead."

"How did you obtain these documents?" Xu Ming set down the stack of evidence capable of sending someone to prison.

"Is there a problem?"

"Since Director Ji already has criminal records of the Hengfei Group, why didn’t you take action immediately? Instead, you waited until now, considering the dates aren’t recent."

Xu Ming pinpointed the crucial issue, making Ji Weihua pause awkwardly. "Director Xu, I think now is not the time for foolish questions but rather focusing on how to arrest Yan Juanjuan."

"That naturally needs to be done. Thank you very much for the information, Director Ji, but I..."

"But what? Are you doubting the authenticity of my documents?" Ji Weihua put down his cup heavily, having miscalculated.

"Not at all. I meant we should wait until Hua arrives before taking action; rashly capturing someone isn’t advisable." Xu Ming found a way out; Ji Weihua’s purpose for bringing the documents was to have him immediately arrest Yan Juanjuan, with all evidence directly pointing to illegal activities by the opposite party, including Xiao Mei’s death.

"Aren’t you in charge of this case?"

"I am in charge, but I’m just a small assistant. The broader strategy is decided by Hua, and I’ll present this to him for review and submit a formal written report to you." Xu Ming paused. "Moreover, my current responsibility is the Beigong case, but you have given me information about the Hengfei Group, so..." 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"Yan Fengying is Yan Juanjuan’s sister; arresting the older sister should pressure the younger sister to speak, right?"

"This is a significant matter; we should still wait for Hua’s return to decide."

Ji Weihua sighed and waved at Xu Ming in a speechless manner. "I’ve given you the materials. How to use them is your business. I just hope to resolve this case quickly and provide an explanation to the people sent by the municipal office. Director Xu, you represent our North District, so you need to handle matters actively instead of relying solely on the municipal people."

"I know, I understand, please rest assured, Director Ji." Xu Ming nodded, smiling as he drank tea, spitting the tea leaves back into the cup.

"Beigong was burned, and now the situation is chaotic. The fire even spread to nearby shops. Make sure to follow up and comfort those affected."

"The cause of the fire is under investigation, but the emotions of affected residents are hard to appease. Compensating is unavoidable, but we can’t make that decision; wouldn’t you agree?"

"The higher-ups will assess the loss for compensation and also report to the municipal government; the arrangement of compensation takes time. Delay if you can; there will be compensation; it’s just a matter of time."

"We will, please rest assured, Director Ji."

"Alright then, inform Hua of this matter as soon as possible. I’m heading back."

"Let me see you off." Xu Ming stood up without hesitation and walked outside, Ji Weihua following. As they passed Mu Rongyun, he paused to look at him and Wu Shuang.

"Director Xu, who is that woman to your expert?"

"It’s hard to say, hahaha!" Xu Ming’s evasion made Ji Weihua more suspicious of their ambiguous relationship.

"So secretive, are they a couple?"

As they talked, they reached Ji Weihua’s car. "It’s really hard to say." Again, the phrase; Ji Weihua didn’t pursue further. As he got in the car, the driver started the engine. He rolled down the window.

"Director Xu, remember to hand over the Hengfei Group information to Hua. I’ve received news that Yan Juanjuan is processing immigration paperwork. If we don’t act soon, arresting her could be difficult."

"As soon as Hua returns, I’ll hand it over immediately, don’t worry." After seeing Ji Weihua off, Xu Ming stood with his hands behind his back until the car was out of sight, then slowly walked towards the guesthouse. (To be continued.
