“Why was she here?”


  “To ask me to get rid of Mu Tangxue.”


  Feng Shanshan shook her head. “These rich families are so weird. The Sheng family is weird, and the Ye family is also the same. Why can’t they just live their life peacefully with the money they have? Not only do they do nothing all day, they don’t contribute to society at all. They only like to seek trouble for themselves.”


  “You ask me all that, but who can I ask?” Mu Qiqi rolled her eyes. “I’m too lazy to intervene in the conflicts between the Ye family and Mu Tangxue. Frankly speaking, it’s just a dog biting another dog. Anyway, I am going to Mu Tangxue’s engagement ceremony next week. Since there’s going to be a good drama, I’m very much willing to go and watch it.”


  Feng Shanshan sometimes thought that instead of being born to a wealthy family, it was better to be like her. She had some money and freedom. It was meaningless to live in conflicts every day……

  Soon, the policemen who went out on fieldwork returned with information about the deceased. They discovered that they shared one similarity, which was that they were all from very under-privileged families.

  However, they came from different places and their family backgrounds were totally different. There must be a reason for them to have gathered together.

  “Now, the mission all of you have to do is find out more about these four people, from their family backgrounds to their social networks and social relations. Everything must be clear and detailed.”


  Of course, after Tang Yan assigned tasks, he planned to leave the police station as well.

  But when he turned his head and saw Feng Shanshan, he walked back in toward her. “Wait for me here tonight. We’ll have dinner together.”


  “I’m very tired. I want to go home.”


  “Today’s Professor’s birthday.” After saying that, Tang Yan left quickly, leaving Feng Shanshan confused. So, what he meant was that he wanted to bring her out for dinner to celebrate Professor’s birthday? What did this mean?

  His parents had passed away. So, the professor was his only family now.

  Since he said he wanted to bring her out for dinner, did that mean that it was an official meeting with the elderly of the family?

  But, why should she meet his elderly? Must she meet him when he said so?

  There was a reason, as a matter of fact. Tang Yan had overheard the conversation between the two girls behind the door of the autopsy room. He was especially triggered by Feng Shanshan’s words. “I won’t be surprised if he disappears one day.”


  He knew that he was incapable of providing a sense of security to someone else and he knew that Feng Shanshan was pretending to be cool with it. However, he would not simply disappear. At least after meeting Feng Shanshan, he had started to cherish his life more.

  Seeing Feng Shanshan lost in confusion by the door of the laboratory, Mu Qiqi nudged her shoulder. “Since he wants to bring you to meet his family, it must mean that he is serious about you. What are you worrying about?”


  “I just feel that it’s too sudden. This doesn’t seem like Tang Yan’s style. It makes me feel very uneasy.”


  More importantly, although they were sleeping together, she still didn’t understand this man. All she knew about him came from little pieces of information from everywhere.

  And most of them came from the professor.

  She didn’t even understand him yet and she was going to meet his family member officially already?

  She couldn’t do it.

  “Looks like you are not willing to do so?”


  Feng Shanshan didn’t say anything, but she was indeed unwilling. At least, before Tang Yan told her about his past, she didn’t want to.

  So, when Tang Yan returned to the police station in the evening, he didn’t see Feng Shanshan around.

  “What are you looking for?” Seeing his face, the professor asked.

  “Where’s Feng Shanshan?”


  “That girl’s tired so she went home,” the professor said. “As usual, aren’t you going to have dinner with me tonight?”


  “Yes, but now we are short of one person. Let’s go to my house. I know Aunt is still abroad and she can’t accompany you.”


  “Well then, wait for me to change my clothes.”


  The professor actually wanted to persuade Tang Yan to move out from the house, which was like a tomb. He hoped that his ex-girlfriend’s matter would not affect his whole life.

  But when the off-road vehicle pulled up in front of the yard, the professor was surprised. “Your house……”


  “The gate of my house is sealed. Now, it’s become my office, but I seldom go in.”


  “Then where do you live?”


  Tang Yan pointed at the house next door. There was a small garden in the yard and there was a deck chair on the grass.

  The professor looked at Tang Yan suspiciously when Tang Yan took out the key to open the door. Then, everyone was stunned……

  In the living room, Feng Shanshan was eating snacks on the sofa. Her brain completely froze.

  “You……”


  “We live together,” Tang Yan explained.

  Then, he said to Feng Shanshan, “Shanshan, make some tea.”


  Feng Shanshan was startled, and she quickly stood up.

  She didn’t expect to have failed her escape from the police station and that Tang Yan would bring the professor right to their house. Speaking of this, it was very irritating. Did she have no say?

  “Since when?” The professor couldn’t control his facial expression.

  “It’s been a while. I just haven’t told you about it,” Tang Yan said.

  “No wonder she was so anxious when you got hurt. And she fought with Dai Xi when you were sent to the frontlines.” The professor understood everything now. “You two didn’t make a sound when you got together. It’s not something that you cannot tell. It’s a good thing.”


  “It’s inconvenient in the police station. We have to work like how we should.”


  Feng Shanshan brought the tea out of the kitchen while listening to their conversation. “Erm…… I know it’s your birthday today. You can sit first, and I’ll make some dishes. You can eat and talk.”


  “I didn’t know you could cook.” The professor laughed.

  “Just some simple dishes.” Feng Shanshan hurried away after speaking.

  “Since you are already with this girl, you should let go of the past. Don’t be so reckless when you do things. If you are hurt again like last time, who can stand it? This girl is an orphan and has no one to depend on. You can’t make her worry about you every day when she has just found love.”


  “Uncle, I’m going to marry her.” Were words that left Tang Yan’s lips.

  The professor was taken aback. Tang Yan had had so many girlfriends and the previous one was a memorable one, but he had never told him that he wanted to get married.

  “When?”


  “When she reaches the marriageable age.”


  “You have really fallen in love with her. That’s wonderful.” The professor teared up thinking about it. “If your father is still around, he would be so happy that you’re finally getting married.”


  “I worked as an undercover agent before. Although many years have passed, I’m still worried that it will bring harm to Shanshan. If it really happens one day, I hope you can do your best to protect her for me.”
