I Play Dungeons in the Police Station-Chapter 339 - 215: The Shao Siblings’ Gratitude

Li Xiang calmed down, returned to his office, reviewed the case from the past few days, and began writing the case closure report.

He finally finished writing the case closure report just before getting off work.

He took the report to Feng Yonglin’s office and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

When Feng Yonglin saw it was Li Xiang, his face immediately broke into a blossoming smile: "Ah, it’s Captain Li. How’s the case going?"

"Mr. Feng, everything’s here."

Li Xiang placed the report on Feng Yonglin’s desk: "When have I ever let you down with a case in my hands?"

"Haha, you little rascal, I was right about you. I’m truly fortunate for shamelessly transferring you over from Director Song. It was the best decision I’ve ever made."

"You’re exaggerating, really. It’s mainly because of everyone’s good cooperation. This time, during the arrest in Nanhua, Coach Su led the team, and in just two days, we tracked down Wang Hongbin and captured him."

"Don’t downplay your role. Without your good leadership, no matter how hard others work, it would’ve been in vain."

This case had been dragging for a week before Li Xiang came back. The first division of the criminal investigation team was out there investigating every day, but they found no leads. You couldn’t say they weren’t working hard, but even with all the time spent, they didn’t return with any useful clues.

After Li Xiang returned, he found an important lead within just one day, which helped pinpoint the possible location of the victim, leading to the successful resolution of the case.

This shows just how important a good leader is to a team.

"Well, you can’t say that. Given a bit more time, they would have found it too. It was just coincidence that I noticed the difference in letters on the fertilizer bags. All right, the report’s here. I’ll head off now!"

Li Xiang looked at the time, it was late, and his lovely lady at home was waiting for him. He was eager to hurry back and see what benefits his stamina upgrade would bring, and he didn’t have time to chat further with Mr. Feng.

"You’ll have to wait a bit before leaving. Director Song just asked me to tell you to stop by his office after work."

Just as Li Xiang was about to leave work, he was stopped again by Feng Yonglin.

"Director Song is looking for me? What’s it about?"

"I’m not really sure either. You’ll find out once you get there."

Seeing Feng Yonglin also didn’t know, Li Xiang went to Director Song’s office with questions in mind.

"Reporting."

"Come in."

Li Xiang knocked and entered Director Song’s office, noticing someone else was there—Cai Yongqing.

As soon as Cai Yongqing saw Li Xiang come in, he quickly stood up: "Li Xiang, when did you come back? You didn’t let me know, so I could personally come and thank you. If it weren’t for Director Song coming to our office for an inspection and mentioning that you were handling the dismemberment case, I wouldn’t have known you were back."

Because of Shao Han’s case, Cai Yongqing was truly grateful to Li Xiang from the bottom of his heart.

"Director Cai, no need to be so formal, we’re all like family."

"It’s just about dinner time, and the Shao siblings have prepared a simple homemade meal. We were wondering if Captain Li could do us the honor of joining us."

Cai Yongqing wasn’t sure if he could get Li Xiang to join for dinner, which is why he brought Director Song along.

"This..." Li Xiang was actually planning to leave work, but didn’t expect this twist.

Seeing Li Xiang’s hesitation, Director Song also chimed in: "Li Xiang, if you’re free in the evening, you should go. It’s dinner anyway, and Director Cai and his niece and nephew sincerely want to thank you. A life-saving grace is a great favor, and if you don’t accept the meal, it’ll stay on their minds."

Hearing Director Song say this, Li Xiang had to agree: "Well, if you insist. I’ll just call my girlfriend and let her know I won’t be home for dinner tonight."

"Then have her join us for dinner. It’s a hassle to cook for one person at home."

"I’m not sure if that’s appropriate..."

"Why not? Weren’t you just saying we’re like family? It’s just an extra pair of chopsticks."

Since Director Cai had put it this way, Li Xiang didn’t refuse any further: "Alright then."

Li Xiang called Feifei and told her she didn’t need to cook dinner, as he would pick her up soon for a meal out.

After settling on the dining location with Cai Yongqing, Li Xiang went back home. When Lin Feifei saw him return, she curiously asked, "Who’s inviting you to dinner?"

"A deputy director from our old office is inviting us, and our director will be there too; it’s hard to refuse. We can skip cooking and washing dishes."

"It’d be fine for you to go. I might be a bit awkward, don’t you think?"

"There’s nothing awkward about it. No strangers."

With Lin Feifei in tow, they followed the location given by Cai Yongqing and arrived at the restaurant. Upon entering the private room, everyone was already there.

He saw Shao Han in the room and her brother Shao Gang, who bore some resemblance to her.

"Shao Han and Shao Gang, let me introduce you to Captain Li Xiang, the detective head of our city’s first division of the criminal investigation team. He’s the one who daringly ventured alone into dangerous territory to rescue you!"

In fact, before Cai Yongqing finished introducing, Shao Han had already stood up, her big eyes filled with curiosity as she looked at Li Xiang, thinking: Was it really him who saved me?

Until she heard Cai Yongqing’s confirmation, Shao Han dropped to her knees with a ’thud’ in front of Li Xiang: "Thank you, benefactor, for pulling me out of hell. Thank you."

During her captivity in the dark place, life was like being in hell, even someone with depression might not feel depressed there.

Shao Han was heavily tormented over there. When Li Xiang went to rescue her, her spirit was barely hanging on.
