However, Superintendent Ruan knew that this was not likely to happen.

Maybe he had a little hope to recruit Jian Yiheng into his team. However, as for Zhai Yunsheng… It was probably impossible for him to join the Special Crimes Investigation Division. Even if he was dreaming, this would never happen.

As Zhai Yunsheng was glaring at him, Superintendent Ruan swallowed his words into his belly.

Ahh, maybe it wasn’t the time to discuss this matter. He should take his leave for now and find a more appropriate time to ask Zhai Yunsheng.

Superintendent Ruan went back to his serious self and said: “Yiling, I’m heading back to the base. I will contact you if there’s any news.”

As Mr. Mu was being escorted back to their base, the rest of the team had to go back to interrogate him.

The innocent customers inside the bar were also slowly evacuated.

And thus, Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yiling were the only people left behind.

“And so… You were busy in these past few days because you wanted to find my father’s murderer?” Zhai Yunsheng asked Jian Yiling. For some reason, he felt a knot in his heart.

“Mhmm,” Jian Yiling nodded calmly.

Upon hearing this response, Zhai Yunsheng laughed. However, his eyes were red.

“What’s wrong?” Jian Yiling asked.

“Jian Yiling,” Zhai Yunsheng said in a deep voice.

“Hmm?”

“Let’s go home.”

“Okay,” Jian Yiling nodded before she took Zhai Yunsheng’s arm and left the bar together.

After Master Zhai learned about Mr. Mu’s matter, he was so angry that he kept cursing the man.

Then, he hugged Jian Yiling and kept thanking her. He even took her to the ancestral hall of the Zhai family.

“I’m not sure how I’m so incredibly lucky to get you as my granddaughter-in-law! You’re so amazing!” Master Zhai commented as tears flowed down his eyes.

Even though Jian Yiling was not part of the Zhai family yet, she helped them so much by solving this unresolved case!

How were they so lucky? She was a blessing to their family!

Then, Master Zhai began to blame himself.

“Ahh, I can’t believe I didn’t see that bastard’s true colors! I even invited him over two years ago! Just thinking about this makes me want to throw up!”

Master Zhai felt disgusted as he thought about Mr. Mu.

“Grandpa, it’s not your fault,” Jian Yiling said softly as she attempted to comfort Master Zhai.

All these years, Master Zhai managed to single-handedly manage the Zhai Group. He was not meant to be proficient at investigating and solving crimes. These matters should be left to the professionals in that area.

Furthermore, Jian Yiling did not solve this case by herself. She worked together with the other members of the Special Crimes Investigation Division.

Then, Master Zhai said to Jian Yiling: “Yiling, I’m so happy. I’m so happy you’re calling me grandpa now!”

In the past, Jian Yiling always called him ‘Grandpa Zhai’. It wasn’t the same as calling him grandpa.

Then, Master Zhai turned around and said to Zhai Yunsheng: “Brat, I’m warning you right now, you won’t find a better fiancee! You better not be mean to her! If you be mean to her, I will skin you!”

“As you wish.”

“As you wish? Can you be more insincere in your answer!”

“Grandpa, A Sheng is saying that if he bullies me, you can punish him however you like,” Jian Yiling quickly explained for Zhai Yunsheng.

“Yeah, what she said,” Zhai Yunsheng added.

“Good good,” Master Zhai commented. Then, when he turned around to Jian Yiling, a smile appeared on his face again: “You helped our family so much.. I don’t know how to reward you.”
