8 PM that evening.

Su Jianfan arrived at the hotel as agreed.

He was sweating slightly.

His whole demeanor was exceptionally tense. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

"Mr. Luo, you're here."

Almost simultaneously.

Luo Fei also arrived.

He immediately noticed that Su Jianfan was very uneasy.

He even tugged at his zero point.

Luo Fei finally asked the question that had been puzzling him.

"I can't understand, if you don't want to meet the other party, why did you invite me along?"

Seeing that Luo Fei was somewhat puzzled.

Su Jianfan had to explain with some embarrassment.

"Mr. Luo, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to trouble you."

"Even though my relationship with my family leader isn't great, my relationship with my stepmother is rather good. So I invited you along, hoping you wouldn't mind."

Su Jianfan said this, glancing a bit awkwardly at Luo Fei.

But the other party shook his head and said.

"Su Jianfan, have you really thought this through? Are you sure you really want to get along with your stepmother, or is it Zheng Guorong who wants you to do this? So your subconscious keeps reminding you to follow his instructions?"

This question made Su Jianfan silent for quite a while.

"Let's go, go upstairs."

Luo Fei said, patting Su Jianfan on the shoulder.

He finally snapped out of it.

A moment later.

As the two entered the hotel suite.

At this time, Zheng Guorong and an unfamiliar middle-aged woman were already seated, waiting for some time.

"Su Jianfan, why did you bring Mr. Luo along?"

But the moment Luo Fei appeared.

Zheng Guorong's expression became somewhat subtle.

Obviously.

He didn't expect Su Jianfan to bring Luo Fei along.

Seeing the other party was somewhat confused.

And looked at him just as puzzled.

Su Jianfan explained with some embarrassment.

"Leader, Mr. Luo said he wanted to come."

The middle-aged lady beside him also spoke.

"Old Zheng, don't blame Su Jianfan; I asked him to bring Mr. Luo over. After all, he's our son's supervisor. As parents, we should meet him."

This woman spoke very appropriately, with a slender figure.

Her demeanor exuded politeness and elegance.

Clearly well-raised.

She looked about forty-something, with slightly high cheekbones.

Her hair was tied up in a bun.

She and Zheng Guorong sat together with the aura of two school leaders.

As she looked seriously at him.

With a calm and composed expression.

Su Jianfan spoke with slight awkwardness.

"Auntie, Mr. Luo is very outstanding. I've partnered with him in solving several cases. We work well together."

"Now you should be completely reassured, right?"

Noticing the slight embarrassment in Su Jianfan's tone.

Song Shuyu spoke.

"Mr. Luo, our Su Jianfan has always worked in the technical team before. It's his first time being on-site with you to solve cases. So if he ever does anything subpar, please feel free to tell him."

Song Shuyu spoke calmly and indifferently.

Luo Fei listened and nodded firmly.

"Ms. Song, rest assured, I understand your point. Actually, Su Jianfan is very talented. His intuition in investigations is also quite accurate."

"I also believe he'll become an exceptionally talented person in the future. He'll be very remarkable."

Song Shuyu's high praise.

Made Luo Fei continuously nod.

"Ms. Song, with such appreciation for Su Jianfan, I think he'll surely be thrilled. It'll serve as motivation for him to strive harder and grow stronger, becoming even more outstanding."

Luo Fei's high recognition and praise made Su Jianfan feel slightly ashamed.

After all, he knew well that he had many shortcomings.

Luo Fei's encouragement was clearly to ensure he wouldn't lose face around family.

Over the next half hour.

Luo Fei and the others chatted sporadically.

Until finally, the meal was about to end.

Su Jianfan finally relaxed a little.

"Mr. Luo, speaking of which, the mastermind behind the gas explosion destroying the old building still hasn't been caught."

At this moment.

Zheng Guorong suddenly spoke.

Seemingly nonchalant.

But these words.

Made Su Jianxin instantly hold his breath.

Luo Fei, however, seemed composed.

And responded repeatedly.

"Vice Minister Zheng is right. Because the target hasn't been captured yet, we must remain vigilant."

"But I think that incident happened quite a while ago. The instigator hasn't shown up, so I suspect it might have been an accident. After all, didn't we previously investigate the cause of the fire?"

Noticing Luo Fei speaking calmly.

His tone was indifferent and composed.

Zheng Guorong didn't pursue further questions.

Song Shuyu noticed Old Zheng's embarrassment.

So she proactively changed the subject.

"Jianfan, about the girl I found for you, the one I want you to meet, did you meet her? How is it going between you two?"

Hearing his mother's question.

Su Jianfan instantly felt more ashamed.

"Mom, if you hadn't brought it up, I'd have forgotten about it. We only had dinner once, and then we didn't meet again..."

Su Jianfan awkwardly grinned.

His mother immediately changed expression.

"You only had dinner once, and that was when I met her together with you?"

Song Shuyu's expression visibly changed.

Su Jianfan could only remain noncommittal.

"Yes, that time you asked me to escort her home. But the girl said it wasn't necessary. I thought she truly didn't want to see me again, so I didn't take the initiative to contact her anymore."
