Chapter 28

Wang Tong's face was a picture of mixed emotions, truly caught between laughter and tears. When she took a look at what was in her hand, there was only a crumpled ten-yuan note, the rest being coins, including three 50-fen coins and two 10-fen coins, totaling 16.7 yuan.

"You don't want to invite me to have a bowl of noodles, do you?"

Yang Luo nodded seriously, "Right! This money isn't enough for both of us to have a full meal."

"But you still let me choose the place," Wang Tong said angrily.

"I'm showing respect to a lady, of course I have to ask for your opinion."

Wang Tong said, "So you went to the toilet to call that big fool. I bet he's thinking about committing suicide right now."

Yang Luo smiled smugly, parked the car in the parking lot, and then said, "He has played this role many times from a young age, so you don't need to worry about his ability to handle it. Besides, this guy is really rich, earning over a million yuan a year. A meal is just a drop in the bucket for him." Wang Tong really wanted to ask what his friend did to earn over a million yuan a year, but she closed her mouth as they walked into the office.

Tan Long saw Yang Luo return and made a series of exaggerated facial expressions. The others in the office also stared intently at the two of them, trying to read something from their faces. However, Wang Tong's expression remained cold, and they couldn't see anything wrong with Yang Luo's face.

He muttered to himself, "Could it be that this pair of dogs really didn't do anything?"

Tan Long walked to Yang Luo's desk and leaned over to whisper in his ear, "Brother! You're the first man to take Wang Tong out for a meal. Didn't anything happen?"

Yang Luo didn't answer but asked, "Where did that idiot Liu Shijie go?"

Tan Long said, "He didn't come back after dealing with the scene. You need to be careful. This guy is very devious, and I'm afraid he might do something to you. You should spend some money to smooth things over. Liu Shijie will have to think twice before trying to get you in trouble." Yang Luo took out a cigarette and offered one to Tan Long, who took it and lit it for Yang Luo.

Yang Luo glanced at him, "You're still calling yourself a dragon? I think you should be called a rat. One Liu Shijie scares you like this?"

Bao Long smiled bitterly, "I'm not afraid of Liu Shijie; he's nothing. I just don't want to have just met you as a brother and then be laid off after only one day of work."

Yang Luo took a deep drag on his cigarette, "That's more like your Bao Long character. Liu Shijie is nothing. I don't want to get promoted or make a fortune; I just want to be worthy of this police uniform."

At this moment, Wang Tong walked over with a small bag and said coldly, "Be careful." Then she turned and left.

This cryptic remark left Yang Luo stunned. Tan Long looked at Wang Tong's back and chuckled, "Brother! Wang Tong really cares about you."

Yang Luo ignored him and asked, "Why are you all back? Did you catch the killer?"

Tan Long said excitedly, "We caught him. Less than half an hour after setting up the control, the killer was apprehended at the ring road toll station. She confessed everything before we even questioned her. From the time we were called to the scene to the arrest, it took only three hours. This is the fastest resolution of a murder case since the founding of the country. I bet we'll get commendations from above. Tomorrow, your name as a detective will spread throughout the Shanghai police force." He chuckled, "Do you know why she killed him?"

Yang Luo didn't even think about it, "Passion murder."
