Tang Si paused when he heard her words.
"Your report results didn't match my speculations, so of course I'd ask questions."
He looked at her. "Is there any problem?"
The woman nodded and smiled. "No, I was just curious."
Tang Si never let others know what he was thinking about. After knowing him for so many years, she still didn't completely understand him.
He always looked lazy and indifferent, sometimes a little bit wicked, sometimes a little bad, and he liked to joke around.
Whenever she saw him, he seemed a little distant.
"Lu Yu, it's getting late. I'll ask someone to take you home."
Lu Yu smiled. "No, it's more convenient to take a taxi."
Located in the city center, the Criminal Police Brigade had an accessible transportation system. Even at midnight, they could still get a taxi.
…
At the office, some of the staff on duty were nodding off, and those responsible for Wu Wang's case were still trying to find clues.
Tang Si stood at the door looking at the scene with his arms folded in front of his chest, and in the end, through a glass window, he saw the woman sitting inside.
She was very quiet.
After staring at her for a long while, Tang Si clapped his hands.
This attracted the attention of the others in the office.
"Captain Tang."
"Boss."
Tang Si smiled, looking relaxed. He walked in slowly and leaned on a table casually.
"Thanks for your hard work. Zhou Liang, order some takeaway for everyone. My treat."
After he said that…
The office was silent and everyone was looking at him silently.
Zhou Liang was stunned and patted his own face. "Your treat? Did I hear it wrong?"
Having worked together for many years, he had never seen Tang Si treat anyone.
Although he seemed to be a nice guy, he was actually very stingy and wasn't willing to spend his own money.
It was literally impossible to get him to treat anyone.
Tang Si's gaze fell on Zhou Liang, which was very cold.
Zhou Liang shuddered. "Come on, come on! What would you like to eat? Be quick! Otherwise, Captain Tang will go back on his word."
"Our Captain Tang finally did a good thing."
Everyone surrounded Zhou Liang.
Seeing that, Tang Si smiled faintly. Not paying attention to Zhou Liang, he said, "Order me a wonton, not spicy."
Zhou Liang: "Okay!"
…
Song Yi could hear the sounds outside, but she couldn't see outside.
But her instincts told her that he had come back. She waited for a long time but still didn't see any sign of Tang Si.
Song Yi looked at the police officer guarding her and finally couldn't help saying, "I want to see Captain Tang."
"Be quiet. Don't make trouble."
"I want to see him," Song Yi said, "Otherwise, I will make a complaint against him."
"…?"
After receiving a suspicious gaze from the police officer, Song Yi said, "He injured me. I'll complain that he illegally extorted a confession by torture."
"…"
"Squeak—" The door was pushed open at this time.
Tang Si came in carrying a bowl of wontons.
Tang Si's gaze fell on the police officer and his thin lips moved. "You can go out now. They ordered takeout. Go grab a bite."
After they left, Tang Si sat opposite Song Yi.
Pushing the wonton in front of Song Yi, he crossed his legs and looked at the chair. "Eat it."
"Did you forget I'm a suspect? You didn't put poison in it, did you?"
The corners of Tang Si's mouth lifted. "Take it or leave it."
Song Yi wasn't a prim person. She was about to eat when she stopped and glanced at Tang Si. "You're not eating?"
Tang Si raised his eyebrows and looked at her, drawling, "If you don't mind, I can eat with you."
Song Yi: "…"
Jerk!
Seeing her guarding the wonton in front of her, Tang Si snorted. "Eat it while it's hot."
"…" Oh, he suddenly spoke so gently.
The next second—
"If I eat with you, you'll take advantage of me." He lowered his head to fiddle with the lighter in his hand. He looked up at her and continued: "I won't give you the opportunity to take advantage of me."
"…" No, I was wrong. He's still a jerk.
A sharp-tongued jerk.
