"I was wondering why you didn't seem angry at all. Turns out, you had a plan all along?"

As he said this, Li Yu also pouted slightly.

"But Mr. Luo, if you had a plan, why didn't you give me a heads up?"

"If I knew your thoughts earlier, I could have cooperated with you in time."

Li Yu seemed a bit conflicted.

He didn't seem too happy.

A bit of a tantrum too.

Luo Fei quickly comforted him.

"Li Yu, I just came up with the idea on the spur of the moment. It was only on the way back that I thought of this tactic. I really didn't have time to explain to you."

"Besides, if too many people knew about this, I'm afraid the other party would notice something. Then they wouldn't fall for it, which might hinder the case-solving process."

Luo Fei looked calm and composed.

Every word was reasoned and well-founded.

Only then did Li Yu calm down a bit, nodding repeatedly.

"I understand, Mr. Luo."

"You mean well, I shouldn't be nitpicking."

Although he understood Luo Fei's reasoning.

Old Han was still a bit worried.

"Mr. Luo, although we've temporarily clarified the target."

"But since Bai Rongjun has successfully cleared his suspicion, he'll definitely try to escape as soon as possible. If he manages to get away, it'll be much harder for us to catch him."

Old Han was a bit hesitant.

His tone, at this point, carried a hint of probing.

Luo Fei just smiled.

"Old Han, don't worry. I believe after my provocation tactic this time, Bai Rongjun will definitely try to slip away as soon as possible."

"When he becomes impatient and can't resist fleeing, that's our best chance to capture him."

However.

Even though Luo Fei's analysis made sense.

Li Yu, on the side, was still a bit hesitant.

Her dark eyes revealed a hint of complexity.

This made Luo Fei curious.

"Li Yu, why do you look so worried?"

"Are you afraid Bai Rongjun might escape? Or do you think there's another clue in this case?"

Luo Fei had made full preparations in advance.

He had even informed Xu Mengzhou earlier to have the traffic police team secretly monitor all toll stations, including the train station and airport.

If Bai Rongjun or Chen Meihong showed any intention to flee.

They could report to Luo Fei immediately.

So he believed Bai Rongjun and his accomplices were unable to escape, no matter what.

However.

He knew Li Yu was meticulous and often discovered details others missed.

So he didn't mind hearing her opinion.

Noticing Luo Fei's slight confusion.

Li Yu patiently explained.

"Mr. Luo, please don't misunderstand. I'm just pondering. Bai Rongjun, driven by revenge for his mother, had reasons to frame his father."

"But his expression just now suggested he didn't know Gu Nan was also in the trunk. Does that mean he might have been used by someone else?"

Li Yu's question.

Had Luo Fei nodding repeatedly.

"Li Yu, your thoughts are indeed reasonable. I also noticed earlier. Chen Meihong's expression was heavy, her demeanor incredibly serious, as if she'd been greatly agitated."

"But I think this might not be Chen Meihong pulling the strings behind the scenes. Maybe there's someone else pulling the strings."

Luo Fei was all too aware.

Even if Chen Meihong had opinions about Bai's return and hoped to reconcile with his ex-wife.

She too would have her considerations.

After all, the two had been together for several years.

Especially being a couple later in life, they would treasure each other and their relationship all the more.

If she knew someone wanted to harm Bai.

She shouldn't easily agree to such a plan.

"Mr. Luo's analysis makes sense."

"So to be safe, why don't we have someone secretly monitor Chen Meihong?"

Almost simultaneously, seeing that Li Yu had the same thought as him.

Luo Fei also smiled and nodded.

"You thought the same thing I did."

"I just spoke with Su Jianfan. Asked the officers to keep an eye on the two, see if they can uncover any clues."

Watching Luo Fei and Li Yu in perfect harmony.

Han Tiesheng listened.

And smiled meaningfully.

"Mr. Luo, speaking of which, when Li Yu first joined, I was the one guiding this young lady."

"She had partnered with experienced officers before. But like now, where someone understands her like a sixth sense, you're the first."

Seeing the smirk on Han Tiesheng's face.

The tone was clearly suggestive.

Implying something more.

Li Yu blushed instantly.

"Old Han, what do you mean by that? I don't really understand."

Seeing Li Yu's innocent and charming face.

Her face was filled with unease and anticipation.

Han Tiesheng cleared his throat, spoke sincerely.

"I mean nothing else, just praising you for being excellent, having a good rapport with Mr. Luo, and perhaps having a chance for promotion. Don't overthink it."

Noticing Old Han's suggestive hesitation.

Raising his eyebrows intentionally.

Luo Fei spoke seriously.

"Old Han, let's be serious. Although we've preliminarily judged the situation, the situation with Chen Meihong and Bai Rongjun is still dangerous."

Ring ring!

Almost simultaneously.

Luo Fei's phone rang.

Their car had just arrived at the barbecue stall Ma Liguo had picked.

"What's up?"

Seeing it was Wang Ben and Su Jianfan calling while working overtime.

Luo Fei had an inexplicable sense of foreboding.

And sure enough.

The next second, Su Jianfan explained, somewhat embarrassed.

"Mr. Luo, just now. Chen Meihong and Bai Rongjun got into it."

"They both suspect the other of wanting to harm their family members."

This result was within Luo Fei's expectations.

So he also responded calmly.

"Just separate them, can't you?"

"Yes, Mr. Luo, that's what I did. But the two of them are too agitated. They wouldn't listen for a while. So I decided to detain them for a night to prevent them from doing something stupid."

Su Jianfan's calm judgment.

Made Luo Fei feel a bit relieved.

So he agreed to this approach.

"Su Jianfan, is this the only reason you called?"

Su Jianfan's heart was pounding, his tone a bit urgent.

His emotions clearly slightly off.

So Luo Fei noticed something.

Hearing that Luo Fei already saw through his thoughts.

Su Jianfan was ambiguous.

"Mr. Luo, actually, it's like this. Earlier today, my mom returned from Eagle Nation."

"She asked if I could take a day off tomorrow to have a meal with her and our family leader."

Su Jianfan's stepmother had been on a business trip.

So she only heard about Luo Fei, but they'd never met.

But hearing the embarrassed tone.

Luo Fei inquired.

"So, Su Jianfan, do you want me to approve this vacation? Or not?"

Noticing Luo Fei guessed his thoughts.

His tone carried a hint of expectation.

Su Jianfan felt somewhat awkward.

"Mr. Luo, of course I want to see our mom."

"Otherwise, given dad's temperament, he'd probably nitpick and stir up trouble. Then he'd definitely pursue it and think of all ways to make me admit my fault."

Su Jianfan said, giving a dry laugh.

But Luo Fei could clearly hear.

Su Jianfan wasn't too willing to meet his mother.

Especially after quarreling with his dad, it was a bit awkward today.

So at this point.

Luo Fei also smiled comfortingly.

"Su Jianfan, I understand your thoughts."

"How about this, I'll accompany you tomorrow to meet this elder sister. Also a chance to get to know more about the situation?"

Hearing Luo Fei's intention.

Su Jianfan felt a bit embarrassed.

And somewhat sheepish.

"Mr. Luo, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

"After all, originally it's a family matter of mine. If you get involved, wouldn't that trouble you?"

Noticing Su Jianfan's confusion.

The tone carried a bit of embarrassment.

Luo Fei just smiled.

"Su Jianfan, I understand what you mean."

"And don't worry. If I'm going, it's not to help resolve family disputes. It's because I genuinely need to investigate the case."
