Protagonist:

Jiang Wenyu

Upon hearing that name, Jiang Wenyu was indeed surprised, but in the end he still didn't say much.

Li Zhao has now been taken to the Police Station, but it's unknown how things will proceed afterward.

Early the next morning Chen Lan got up first; one might say she hadn't slept much all night. Jiang Wenyu also got up early, and just as the two were preparing breakfast together, the door was knocked.

Opening it, it was precisely that Lu Jingguan in uniform.

"Lu Jingguan." Jiang Wenyu invited him inside, but the latter didn't move, his expression still that serious, and said: "No need. I came just to notify you — Li Zhao was released this morning."

Jiang Wenyu and Chen Lan both froze, and the latter rushed over angrily, saying: "Released? Is this how you police handle cases!?"

Fortunately Jiang Wenyu held back the agitated Chen Lan, but he was also quite displeased, and said: "Lu Jingguan, everyone knows what kind of person Li Zhao is. The police probably understand what he's done even better than us ordinary commoners. Could it be he was really just let go like that?"

Lu Jingguan acted as if it were nothing, saying indifferently: "Whether to release someone isn't up to me — everything is decided by the higher-ups. Also, you can rest assured; after this commotion he shouldn't dare act recklessly again."

Having said that one sentence he turned to leave, but after two steps he stopped again, turned back, and said: "Wait a bit longer. Once this period passes, everything will get better."

Chen Lan didn't understand the meaning behind those words, and could only watch Lu Jingguan depart with dissatisfaction. Jiang Wenyu merely sighed deeply.

"Too hateful!" Chen Lan said.

Jiang Wenyu also said: "Li Zhao and the Police Station people probably have some connections — either they 'pay tribute' every day, or it's some other relationship."

Chen Lan was still furious beyond words. Jiang Wenyu comforted her, saying: "Alright. After we finish eating I'll see you off. I'll also pick you up after work. Be careful these days."

What made Chen Lan feel a bit strange was that Jiang Wenyu's attitude also seemed different — as if he really intended to let this matter pass completely. She couldn't help asking: "You're not angry?"

Jiang Wenyu shrugged and said: "What use is anger? Just like Lu Jingguan said, let's all wait a bit longer."

Chen Lan didn't understand, and for now could only grit her teeth and endure.

After seeing the two off to the Clothing Factory, Jiang Wenyu rode his bike toward the Mall.

……

Chema City is just this small; any big or small matter spreads quickly. The matter of Li Zhao being taken away by police last night and then released by police quickly spread everywhere, and naturally reached Chen Na's ears.

She didn't care about Li Zhao being arrested or released; she only cared how Jiang Wenyu was doing. So she again went to that street's arcade and found Li Zhao.

Li Zhao's appearance right now was truly not good — his expression was very gloomy, and there weren't many people around, only a few loyal lackeys.

The moment Chen Na arrived she immediately said: "How is he!?"

Li Zhao's mood had hit rock bottom. If not for the fact that he often maintained good "relations" with the bureau chief, that trip inside yesterday might really have meant he couldn't get out.

Seeing Chen Na put him in an even worse mood. He had a lackey explain last night's situation.

After listening, Chen Na's face changed, and she said: "You took my money!"

"Thud!"

As soon as the words fell, Li Zhao stood up with a thump, startling Chen Na. Li Zhao took a drag of his cigarette, eyes fierce, and said: "I say, little sister, can't you see I'm in a bad mood today? I took your money — so what? If you're capable, go do it yourself! Damn it."

Chen Na didn't speak further, her face also very ugly. Li Zhao then said: "These cops lately don't know what wrong medicine they ate, especially that surnamed Lu. Last time he didn't take that Jiang Wenyu away, this time he took me instead! Son of a bitch, ptooey!"

He wiped his mouth, then stared at Chen Na for a long while, and suddenly seemed to think of something, laughing wickedly: "Chen Na, you and Jiang Wenyu don't get along, right? Then how's your relationship with your sister Chen Lan?"

Chen Na asked: "Why are you asking this?"
