Chapter 562: Chapter 559: One After Another_2

After hanging up the phone, Zeng Xiaomei immediately called out excitedly to the police officers nearby, who were still reveling in the joy of solving the previous case, to share the news with them and also to instruct them on their next move.

"Captain Situ is just too amazing!"

Upon hearing Zeng Xiaomei’s news, all the police officers almost unanimously exclaimed. Their faces showed an expression of immense shock, but their hearts and eyes were filled with joy.

Zeng Xiaomei knew they had misunderstood, thinking Situ Qingfeng was the one solving the case, but she didn’t say anything. After all, the person who solved the case was a friend of Situ Qingfeng. Saying that he was the one solving it wasn’t wrong at all. It would be up to Situ Qingfeng to explain or not later on. It wasn’t her place to say more.

After that bit of news, the police were even more confident in this latest update. Without any doubt, they immediately issued commands. In less than thirty minutes, the police in H City had completed their operation.

The results of the operation were even more perfect than they had imagined. Almost identical to the previous situation in M City, except for the two leaders who died, all other personnel were either severely or lightly injured and were all captured in one fell swoop.

Most importantly of all, all the missing children were rescued unharmed...

They were very clear that after this event, a second-class merit award was definitely in store for them. Although they all knew that this case was basically solved by Situ Qingfeng alone, being part of the team meant that they would definitely have a share in the credit...

In their hearts, their gratitude toward Situ Qingfeng became even more profound...

"That’s fantastic!"

Upon hearing the great news from below, Zeng Xiaomei closed her fists tightly and swung them through the air vigorously, her heart completely filled with immense joy.

"This is just wonderful!"

"Yeah, Captain Situ is truly incredible, he’s like our idol!"

"..."

The other officers in the office also showed extremely excited expressions, swinging their fists in the air. They felt as if the days of frustration and gloominess had been swept away in an instant.

"Officer Zeng, let’s not rest today, let’s go out and celebrate..."

Suddenly, one of the police officers exclaimed, making a suggestion.

"Yeah, Officer Zeng, let’s go, let’s have some late-night snacks..."

"Yes, Officer Zeng, let’s go..."

"..."

The other officers, too, began shouting one after another.

"This... okay then."

Seeing the excitement on the faces of all the officers, Zeng Xiaomei hesitated for a moment then nodded her head. She knew that these officers had also had a tough few days, with nearly everyone’s appetite affected to some degree. They hadn’t really filled their stomachs, and several hours had passed since dinner time. It was already deep into the night, early morning...

She herself was feeling a bit hungry.

"Oh yeah! Let’s go, I know a place nearby that serves porridge and it’s really good!"

The officer who had spoken first, seeing that Zeng Xiaomei had agreed to his suggestion, immediately showed an excited expression and happily stated, then took the lead toward the door.

The other officers followed, with excited expressions on their faces as well.

Zeng Xiaomei slowly followed behind the group, watching the excited crowd of police officers. In her mind, she once again pondered a question that she had thought about for a long time, her eyes revealing a hint of contemplation.

Who on earth did Senior Brother Situ ask to help this time? How could they be so skilled?

No, at any cost, even if it means persistently nagging, she must cling to Senior Brother Situ until he tells her who this expert is. If he isn’t willing to introduce her, then she will have to make the acquaintance on her own!

Zeng Xiaomei was silently making up her mind...

......

"What, boss? You’re saying, you took down the den in City B as well?"

Situ Qingfeng almost trembled as he heard Xiao Yi’s words through the receiver, barely keeping the handset from falling to the floor. Grasping it tightly, disbelief was evident in his eyes; his voice quivering, he asked again.

"Nonsense, when have I ever lied to you? If you don’t believe it, just forget it, alright, that’s it, I need to rest."

Sitting in the driver’s seat of a red Maserati, Xiao Yi rolled his eyes in dissatisfaction. This kid actually doubted his word? With a lazy say-so, he hung up the phone, and at the moment he did, a slightly smug look appeared on his face.

He knew that Situ Qingfeng was astounded by his achievements tonight, not that he doubted his words. He was quite satisfied with his own accomplishments of the evening as well.

But if anyone were to be blamed, it was this kid’s bad luck for catching him in a good mood that day.

"No... not... boss... hello, hello..."

Realizing that Xiao Yi might have misunderstood his reaction, Situ Qingfeng immediately grew anxious, raising his voice, trying to explain over the phone. Unfortunately, his words were cut off by the dial tone that followed.

"Tears, why is the boss always in such a hurry, sigh..."

Situ Qingfeng shouted "hello" a few times, gazing at the phone with an urge to cry but no tears to shed. He picked up his mobile phone, intending to call back, but after a moment’s thought, he dialed another number instead.

......

"Ah, that was satisfying, I haven’t had such a fulfilling meal in a long time!"

"Absolutely, damn, these past few days, I’ve been having no appetite at all... Even the most delicious meals tasted bland..."

"..."

At a late-night snack stall, a group of uniformed police officers were eagerly eating and drinking, sleeves rolled up, their faces flushed under the light, their voices full of zest.

Their makeshift large table was a complete mess, scattered with cups, bowls, utensils, leftover tea, and food...

The stall owner, however, had a bitter look, his brows nearly furrowed to the top of his forehead.

He had a feeling that there was something off about the group of officers today, as if they were a bit crazed.

Zeng Xiaomei, looking at her colleagues who had shed their authoritative office demeanor—some patting their bellies, others arm in arm—felt for the first time no disdain but instead found their image endearing and authentic.

A faint smile appeared on her face.

Today, she hadn’t been too concerned about her image either, having had several bowls of porridge and plenty of snacks...

However, it was about time to remind this group to head back...

Looking at the time, Zeng Xiaomei realized that in Situ Qingfeng’s absence, she was in charge of leading this case team, an arrangement that had become an unspoken agreement among them. So, it was her responsibility to manage and supervise them.

Just as she was about to stand up and call them together, her phone suddenly vibrated fiercely and rang.

"Senior Brother Situ?"

What could it be at this late hour?

Zeng Xiaomei quickly reached for her phone, and upon seeing Situ Qingfeng’s name on the caller ID, a look of surprise couldn’t help but appear in her eyes. She couldn’t believe that Senior Brother Situ would have any good news for her now. Even a highly skilled man was just a man, not a god, right?(To be continued.
