Chapter 30

After Zhou Datong left, Zheng Fei's eyes twinkled, and he said, "Director, I'll go and issue the notice, I'll be off then."

"You bastard, you should have committed suicide before leaving," Tang Long burst out laughing, "Alright, you guys, stop staring and all go out!"

In a blink, only three people were left in the office.

Su Wen looked at Tang Long and said with a smile, "Uncle Tang, you're not a very good director, you don't have any official airs. Zhou Datong is just a small businessman, no, calling him a small businessman is too generous, he's a complete scoundrel. You can't just talk nicely to people like him; you need to intimidate them when necessary. You can't expect him to listen to everything you say, but at the very least, he shouldn't cause you trouble!"

Tang Long glared at Su Wen, "Brat, do I need you to teach me these things?"

Su Wen fell silent, realizing he had overstepped.

"Alright, I've found the diamond for you, so the next steps should be easier, right!" Yang Hui looked at Tang Long, "You're working too hard as a director. If I had known, I wouldn't have let you join the system. But there's no way around it; with your stubborn personality, even after leaving the military, you couldn't sit still. The Public Security Bureau is the best fit for you."

"Still, my wife knows me best." Tang Long laughed heartily.

"Uncle Tang, is the case completely closed now?" Su Wen asked, planning to leave.

"Pretty much." Tang Long pondered for a moment, "But this morning, I received an unexpected message. The suspect we caught seems to be no ordinary person. He's said to be a practitioner of Xingyi Quan, and he has a senior brother who is the third in command of a mercenary organization. It seems they have a good relationship. As you know, people who learn martial arts tend to be impulsive, so his senior brother might come to break him out of jail."

"Ha!" Su Wen was taken aback, "What era are we in, and people still break into jails?"

"This is quite normal. In any era, breaking into jails is quite popular." Tang Long was embarrassed, "The public security system isn't all-powerful. People outside might not know, but according to my understanding, every year, many people successfully escape or break into jails."

"If that's the case, it's going to be difficult." Yang Hui fell silent, "You've dealt with mercenary organizations before, and you know what kind of people they are. They are a bunch of reckless individuals. If someone really comes to break him out, this won't just be a simple jewelry store robbery and murder case."

Su Wen took note of the mention of the mercenary organization by Yang Hui.

This meant that his father must have also dealt with mercenary organizations in the past.

"Right!" Tang Long took a deep breath, "I've already started mobilizing the police force. Based on my estimation, if someone really wants to save Zhao Zhifang, the best time would be five days from now, which is the day Zhao Zhifang is executed. From the prison to the execution ground in Nanlin, they need to pass through the city, which is the hardest part to guard."

The suspect, Zhao Zhifang.

From his arrest to sentencing, it took less than two days, mainly because his crimes were too heinous. Robbing a jewelry store and killing seven people, in today's harmonious society, this is already a shocking case.

After listening, Su Wen felt it had nothing to do with him.

So, he said, "Uncle, I have to go to work this afternoon, I'll be off."

"Alright, I'll have someone take you." Tang Long said hurriedly.

"No need, I know the way." Su Wen declined, "Goodbye, Auntie, I'll come visit again when I have time."

"Alright, Xiao Wen." Yang Hui looked at Su Wen.

After Su Wen left, she muttered, "This son of Donghe is not just mysterious, he's too mysterious."

"Right!" Tang Long agreed, "Don't be fooled by his gentle and refined demeanor in front of you. When he gets tough, he's quite scary. Can you imagine him nailing someone's hand to the wall with a dagger? I was shocked when I saw it."

"Th-That's impossible!" Yang Hui couldn't accept it.

"I saw it with my own eyes, how could it be fake?" Tang Long was angry, "This brat is playing mysterious, I hope he doesn't give me a chance to catch him."

Yang Hui chuckled, "So what if you catch him? What can you do? Anyway, I think Su Wen is quite nice. Didn't you and Donghe agree on a marriage for your children? I think it would be good for Xiaoyao to marry Su Wen."

Tang Long was speechless.

Su Wen found a place to eat and didn't go to Jubaizhai.

On the Jiangning Bridge.

Su Wen looked into the distance and muttered, "Water Spirit Grass, I'm coming."

He activated the Great Heavenly Dao Recycling System and said, "Recycle."

0.8 of his vitality was gone.

His vitality dropped to 0.2, and he collapsed to the ground.

But thinking about his gain, he couldn't help but feel excited. A single spirit grass that could refine the body and cleanse the marrow, this was a huge temptation. He believed that if the martial artists knew about it, they would fight over it. If he sold it, it wouldn't be worth less than one million.

After his vitality recovered somewhat, he returned to his residence.

Looking at the Water Spirit Grass in his hand, he fell into deep thought.

He spent 0.1 of his vitality to obtain all the information about the Water Spirit Grass and naturally knew how to use it.

The best way to use Water Spirit Grass is to refine it into a marrow-cleansing pill, but he didn't need to think about that. First, he didn't know how to refine pills, second, he didn't have the materials, and third, it would waste too much time. It was more practical to use the Water Spirit Grass directly.

The system provided a suitable method, which was definitely better than eating it raw.

In short, it involved boiling the Water Spirit Grass into a medicinal soup.

One Water Spirit Grass, including its fruit, needed to be boiled in water for about six hours. After searching for a while, he finally found an unused induction cooker in the kitchen. He unceremoniously took the induction cooker to his room, placed the entire Water Spirit Grass inside, and started boiling it on high heat.

In the evening, Yi Xue and Chu Fei returned.

They saw the light on in Su Wen's room, and Yi Xue, being a good friend, made dinner for Su Wen.

Su Wen felt embarrassed but still ate with a thick face. During this time, he also faced Chu Fei's disdain, but he didn't care. Mainly because Yi Xue's cooking was really excellent, and her skills were on par with those of professional chefs.

"You took the induction cooker from the kitchen?" Yi Xue suddenly said.

Su Wen was taken aback and said, "Yes, I was thirsty and wanted to boil some water."

Yi Xue clearly didn't believe him and said coldly, "There's a kettle in the kitchen for boiling water. Don't use the induction cooker next time."

"I know." Su Wen was depressed.

It seemed that in front of Yi Xue, he was like a child. This woman was mature, rational, and sharp-minded. It was almost impossible to fool her, especially since she knew psychology. He secretly wondered if she could sense his inner thoughts, but then he thought it was ridiculous. Psychology isn't mind-reading, so it's unlikely.

At 10 PM, after adding water several times,

His nourishing medicinal soup was finally ready.

His vitality had fully recovered, and the time to take it was just right.

Looking at the small bowl of medicinal soup in front of him, regardless of the taste, he tilted his head and drank it all in one go.

"It's not bitter?" Su Wen licked his lips and swallowed a Water Spirit Grass leaf that had fallen, then frowned, "What about the refinement and cleansing? Is this a scam?"

Just as he was puzzled, his whole body became hot.

"This, it's here, finally here." Su Wen became excited. He opened the door and saw Yi Xue practicing swordsmanship, laughed, and ran out through the small door. In the bamboo grove, he felt the heat intensify, which made him unconsciously start practicing Tai Chi.

One punch after another, after Tai Chi, he practiced the Bone Separation Hand.

Then he practiced body techniques.

An hour later, he was panting and sat on the ground.

"Congratulations, Master, your vitality has increased by 0.3." Little Tian's voice came.

Su Wen was completely stunned, "How much, 0.3?"
