Listen to me—don’t act impulsively again. It hurts others and yourself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you mean?” Yu Dazhang immediately sensed there was a big secret in those words—he couldn’t let this go without digging deeper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, the instructor said nothing more, just patted Yu Dazhang on the shoulder and turned back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t leave half a sentence hanging… Yu Dazhang really wanted to rush into the office and drag him out again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From his tone, it was his own impulsive actions that had harmed both Wei Chuang and himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carrying a flood of questions, Yu Dazhang left the police academy and pulled out his phone to dial a number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still the busy signal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d called this number before when he came to the academy—after so many days, it was still off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apparently, he no longer used this number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced again at the time on his phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five fifteen p.m.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was getting late—even if he took a taxi to Qingpu Branch now, he’d arrive close to six.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing by the roadside, he thought for a moment, then decided to go anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he went during the day, even if he could get leave, it might interfere with Wei Chuang’s work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hailed a taxi, got in, gave the address quickly, and told the driver to go as fast as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The branch’s off-duty time was five thirty; with travel time, arriving before six gave him a good chance of seeing Wei Chuang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he didn’t run into him, he could find his current colleagues and get his phone number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour later, Yu Dazhang arrived at the entrance of Qingpu Branch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Officers were already walking out—this eased his mind slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t late—the Qingpu Branch officers had just finished work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello.” Yu Dazhang stepped forward and asked an officer:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could you tell me if Officer Wei Chuang came in today?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wei Chuang?” The officer turned and pointed to the branch building:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go inside, third floor, second door on the left.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just told me directly? Yu Dazhang found it odd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a branch office, and he was in civilian clothes—why didn’t he even ask who he was?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even asking what he wanted would’ve been normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apparently, it was Wei Chuang’s name that lowered his guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afraid of drawing unwanted attention, Yu Dazhang asked no more, thanked him, and entered Qingpu Branch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He registered with the duty officer, then went up to the third floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Second door on the left…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He checked the direction and arrived at a door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The painted door bore a sign: Household Registration Section.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing those three characters, he instantly understood why the officer hadn’t questioned him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He must’ve assumed he was here for household registration. Just as Yu Dazhang was about to knock, the door opened from inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person inside was Wei Chuang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Da Zhang?” Wei Chuang looked surprised at Yu Dazhang standing at the door, then seemed to remember something and whispered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come outside. Let’s talk.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He recognized me at once… Yu Dazhang saw no surprise or confusion in Wei Chuang’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Zhou Zizhe, with his excellent memory, hadn’t recognized him right away in this body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That meant Wei Chuang had seen him recently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he’d seen him without Yu Dazhang’s knowledge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Dazhang was certain—this was the first time he’d seen Wei Chuang since his rebirth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suppressing his inner turmoil, Yu Dazhang nodded calmly, then followed Wei Chuang out of the branch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please... collect 6...9...books....!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way, Wei Chuang kept glancing back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if observing Yu Dazhang’s expression and reactions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, Wei Chuang thought for a moment and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come to my place. I’ll have my wife cook some good dishes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior, I…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Dazhang was about to speak when Wei Chuang cut him off:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t call me that anymore. From now on, call me Brother, or just my name.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After graduating from police academy, students usually called former instructors “senior.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Students called each other “Senior Brother” or “Senior Sister.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because academy instructors were selected from outstanding police officers—they were technical specialists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They held police ranks and official positions, and sometimes rotated between frontline duty and teaching, hence the term “senior.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not absolute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at Songhai Police Academy, everyone used this term.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Wei?” Yu Dazhang tried the new title.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It still felt awkward, so he switched:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Chuang, won’t this be too much trouble? Let’s just find a small restaurant—I’ll treat you today.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He mainly feared Wei Chuang’s wife being present would make conversation difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus, in his past life, he’d known Wei Chuang’s wife was no easy person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t be so formal with me. Do as I say.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Chuang finished speaking, pulled out his phone, and made a call—his tone and words suggested it was to his wife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two went to a nearby market and bought some ready-to-eat dishes and cold salads; neither mentioned alcohol until they reached home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Dazhang knew his alcohol tolerance was poor—he didn’t want to get drunk and mess things up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He guessed Wei Chuang had the same thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the food was served, the three sat down; Wei Chuang and his wife warmly urged Yu Dazhang to eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Yu Dazhang had no appetite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not because the food was bad—his mind was too full of questions to swallow anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He barely ate two bowls of rice; the three of them chatted and laughed at the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Yu Dazhang noticed Wei Chuang’s wife didn’t welcome him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her smile was fake, her words exaggerated—superficially warm, but deliberately distancing herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’d just told Yu Dazhang, “Come often,” then turned to Wei Chuang and said: “There’s no need to maintain old relationships from the academy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It sounded like she meant former instructors, but Yu Dazhang knew she was talking about him and Wei Chuang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She resents me deeply… Yu Dazhang quickly formed his judgment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looks like this woman knows more than she lets on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, the meal ended. As Wei Chuang’s wife cleared dishes in the kitchen, Yu Dazhang lightly tapped Wei Chuang’s thigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Chuang, I’m sorry to you—if it weren’t for me, you’d still be teaching at the academy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, no, don’t say that,” Wei Chuang’s voice trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time since meeting Yu Dazhang, he showed a look of shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Da Zhang… you remember everything?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1230,"2026-06-20T14:22:46.062Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","6eef1753be8fe73a443bd72499693f004a34fbc5b040406406b6508ea219ddf8","reborn-in-2014-i-am-the-king-of-criminal-investi-chapter-66","reborn-in-2014-i-am-the-king-of-criminal-investi-chapter-64",763,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-in-2014-i-am-the-king-of-criminal-investi-cover.jpg"]
