After the two girls finished their meal, they went upstairs. It was already quite late, around eleven o'clock. They had school the next day, so they should have gone to bed early.

Lin Yi stood up, came to the dining table, and a pleasant smile curved his lips. Although he didn't hear what Chu Mengyao and Chen Yushu said earlier, he saw everything clearly after Chen Yushu called him to eat and sat back at the table.

The two girls spoke in low voices, but they never imagined that Lin Yi could read lips. So, Lin Yi saw every word Chu Mengyao said.

It turned out that the young lady was also a girl with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Lin Yi smiled slightly and began to clean up the leftovers from the two girls. Actually, it wasn't much of a mess; the two girls had small appetites, and even when they were hungry, they couldn't finish four large boxes of food. The braised chicken pieces were only touched a few times, clearly because they were afraid of gaining weight.

In fact, being able to eat the leftovers of Chu Mengyao and Chen Yushu was a great blessing in the eyes of many boys at No. 1 High School. For example, Zhong Pinliang would never get tired of it even if he ate it every day.

Lin Yi was really hungry. After devouring all the food on the table, he let out a satisfied burp.

Footsteps came from behind, but Lin Yi didn't turn around. From the sound of the footsteps, he could tell that it was Chen Yushu. The two girls' footsteps were slightly different, but Lin Yi could identify them accurately.

"Wow! Arrow Brother, are you a pig? You can eat so much!" It was indeed Chen Yushu. She was a bit thirsty and came down to get a drink, but when she saw the empty food boxes on the table, she was shocked.

"Hehe." Lin Yi smiled. "Not bad, but you two are quite wasteful, leaving so much every day."

"Now that you're here!" Chen Yushu said nonchalantly. Clearly, in such a large family environment, they found it hard to appreciate the value of "every grain of rice in the bowl is hard-earned."

Lin Yi didn't say much more. He understood the differences in their backgrounds, so talking about it wouldn't help. Chen Yushu and Chu Mengyao wouldn't understand.

"By the way, Arrow Brother, I have a little secret to tell you!" Chen Yushu took a bottle of iced tea from the fridge and said mysteriously to Lin Yi.

"What secret?" Lin Yi was a bit puzzled and looked at Chen Yushu.

"Sister Yao said she didn't say she didn't like you. You can join us for meals next time." Chen Yushu whispered.

"Is that so? I see." Lin Yi nodded. "Thank you. But next time, I'll wait until you finish eating."

"Why?" Chen Yushu was a bit surprised.

"Scared I'll eat it all, and you won't have enough." Lin Yi smiled and pointed to the empty food boxes on the table.

"Ha!" Chen Yushu laughed. "I'm going upstairs. You should rest early too." She made a goodbye gesture and ran upstairs.

Lin Yi watched Chen Yushu's figure disappear up the stairs, shook his head, and felt that this girl was hard to read. She looked cute and innocent, but she was actually very shrewd.

Because of the injury on his leg, Lin Yi didn't take a shower but wiped his body with a wet towel and then went to bed. He didn't expect to get injured here, and he didn't have the herbal medicine from his hometown to help his leg heal quickly.

Closing his eyes, Lin Yi began to practice the Xuanyuan Yulong Technique. Although he looked forward to a breakthrough every day, there was still no progress.

The warm sunlight streamed into the room and shone on Lin Yi. He stretched, opened the window, and breathed in the fresh air.

Another beautiful day, Lin Yi was very much looking forward to life. This student life was what he had dreamed of before, and now it had finally come true. He would cherish it. Who knew when the young lady might send him back.

At the Songshan City Police Station, in the interrogation room, Song Lingshan looked helplessly at the various people in front of her, feeling quite powerless.

After a whole night, there was no progress in the case. The information they got was all useless.

The drivers of the fake "Song A74110" black Hyundai business cars were all caught, but they were all people who knew nothing.

At first, Song Lingshan didn't believe them, but after investigating their backgrounds, she was greatly disappointed. These people were either laid-off drivers or bus drivers on leave.

The "Song A74110" license plates were used by others. Each of them was given 500 yuan to drive the cars to specified locations at specified times.

Before they could reach the specified locations, they were caught by the police. At first, they thought the people who caught them were traffic police because their cars had no legal procedures. But they accepted the task because of the high price of 500 yuan.

When they learned that it was related to a bank robbery, they realized they had been deceived by criminals. These people could only be handled by the traffic police for general traffic violations, and Song Lingshan couldn't vent her anger on them.

The whole night's effort was in vain, and Song Lingshan was very depressed. After all, this was her first time leading a major case, and the pressure was immense.

"Captain Song, should we increase the search efforts?" asked Liu Wangli, the captain of the first squad.

They had been searching all night but found no trace of the robbers. If they continued the search after dawn, it would definitely interfere with some normal social activities, so Song Lingshan was hesitant.

If they increased the search efforts, it would mean setting up checkpoints on major traffic routes to check passing vehicles and their occupants.

"I'll consult Captain Yang." In the end, Song Lingshan, feeling helpless, called Yang Huaijun to ask what to do in this situation.

Sometimes, Song Lingshan felt she was really inadequate. Captain Yang Huaijun, also a former soldier, had a hundred times more acute insight than her. No matter what case, once it was in his hands, it wouldn't escape his meticulous analysis and reasoning, and the truth would soon be revealed!

But herself... Song Lingshan felt she had so much to learn. This deputy captain position... Yes, Lin Yi was right, it really seemed like she got it through connections!

Although Song Lingshan knew that, based on her rank before joining the police, she deserved this position, her abilities were still lacking...
