Qiu Yan and Ren Yi went to the cafeteria first, while Gong Yingxian went back to the car to get his lunch box.

Before Qiu Yan could speak, Ren Yi took the lead and said, "Captain Qiu, you don't have to apologize to me. Just like you said, you are just doing your job and performing the duties of the police. If I were you, I would have investigated it to the end."

"Thank you for your understanding, but morally I still feel guilty about you. After all, you have really helped us a lot." Qiu Yan lowered his head, "Please rest assured, I will do my best to find out the truth. The case has been progressing recently. We have locked up several arsonists in China through Seraph, and when it comes to the right opportunity to close the net together. The nameless charred corpse that Ying Xian told you last time, after confirming his identity, we found that his money had been misapproved after his death, and we are also pursuing it,"

Ren Yi nodded: "Where is Bai Yan?"

"Bai Yan has very strong anti-criminal investigation ability. The clues we have tracked down several times have been destroyed. There must be professionals in the organization covering Bai Yan's traces and hiding him. At present, we have increased the wanted police force and monitored the communication channels of some people related to Bai Yan, and he will definitely be arrested."

The body of Bai Chicheng's wife and daughter was dug under the foundation of Zizai's abandoned amusement park. In fact, it has only been a month since then. Ren Yi knew that pursuing criminals, especially those with high IQ and premeditated criminals, was not that easy, but he still couldn't help but be anxious.

When they arrived at the cafeteria, the two of them took the plates to cook food. There were only more than 40 people in the Phoenix Squadron, so the cafeteria was served with small tables, just like a small restaurant. However, there were hundreds of people in the Hongwu Branch. When Ren Yi was queuing up to cook food, he felt like he was back in college.

After picking a corner and sitting down, Qiu Yan said, "How is the food in our canteen?"

"I think our squadron is better, but there are fewer squadrons, so it's easier to do it."

Qiu Yan smiled: "Then I have time to go to your squadron for a meal."

"OK."

"You have come to our branch so many times. Is this the first time I have eaten in the cafeteria?"

"yes."

"In the past, Yingxian didn't bring you to dinner?"

“…We have lunch boxes in his car.”

"Oh, yes." Qiu Yan seemed to remember something, "Bo Sheng said that he would make two meals every day and put them on Yingxian's car, and one of them was prepared for you."

Ren Yi was silent. Scenes appeared in his mind, all of which were eating on Gong Yingxian's black SUV countless times. He could hold his hands and eat a candlelight dinner-like joy and romance. He must really like that person, so everything he did together was beautiful.

He once thought that Gong Yingxian was an angel who was ignorant of the world. Although such a metaphor would be filled with goose bumps when people heard it, and Gong Yingxian's personality actually has many flaws that ordinary people cannot tolerate at all, but in his eyes, all flaws are understandable and heartbreaking, so Gong Yingxian is good at everything. As long as he thinks it is good, it is good. Anyway, he is willing to accept it.

It’s no wonder that I can’t see anything clearly if I like someone so blindly.

Seeing that Ren Yi didn't speak, Qiu Yan forced a smile: "Actually, I guessed that there would be a problem between you two, but I didn't expect that the problem would come first with Ying Xian."

Ren Yi smiled sarcastically. He wanted to ask Qiu Yan back, but was he worried that he would use his "adult experience" to hurt Gong Yingxian? Now it was Gong Yingxian who was using him, but he didn't say it out, so Qiu Yan would not have to bear such a blame.

Qiu Yan carefully observed Ren Yi's expression and said sincerely: "I understand your anger, and Ying Xian is also sad. I really don't want to see you like this. What can I do?"

Ren Yi knew that Gong Yingxian would never tell Qiu Yan about the real relationship between the two, which meant that Qiu Yan could not truly "understand" his anger. He shook his head: "Let us solve it ourselves."

Qiu Yan sighed and looked at Ren Yi embarrassedly, with only helplessness left on his face.

After a while, Gong Yingxian walked into the cafeteria. He was tall and long, with a good appearance. He was the best everywhere he went, but the people in the cafeteria were still a little louder, and his eyes were all drawn to him, with surprise.

Ren Yi thought, it was probably the first time Gong Yingxian appeared in a public canteen.

Sure enough, a colleague immediately joked: "Wow, Dr. Gong, why did you come to the cafeteria? Didn't you never come to the cafeteria for dinner?"

Gong Yingxian nodded to him, ignored him and walked straight to them, put the two insulation boxes in his hand on the table, and sat down himself, then pushed one of them in front of Ren Yi, "There are the braised pork and stir-fried lotus root tips you like to eat."

"No need, I can't finish eating too much." Ren Yi buried his head in eating his own meal.

Gong Yingxian lowered her head in disappointment, opened the boxed lunch, and started eating absent-mindedly. While eating, she also peeked at Ren Yi.

Qiu Yan sat next to the two of them, embarrassed. She coughed lightly and stood up: "I'll go to the bathroom."

Of course, Ren Yi knew that Qiu Yanyi was not having a meal, but wanted to create opportunities to make him reconcile with Gong Yingxian, but now he was facing Gong Yingxian and felt tired, which was the exhaustion after intense anger.

After Qiu Yan left, Gong Yingxian glanced at Ren Yi several times, and wanted to speak but stopped several times. Finally, he lowered his head in depression, and his whole body exuded a silent sadness.

Ren Yi also felt very depressed, and this meal was as chewy as wax.

Suddenly, he felt his knee be hit. At first he thought he had touched it by accident, but soon, Gong Yingxian hit him again, gently and slowly, as if he was testing him, and as if he was calling him.

Ren Yi retracted his legs, but the space under the table was limited, so he could not avoid Gong Yingxian's long legs.

Ren Yi coughed lightly and simply turned his body to the side.

Gong Yingxian put down his chopsticks in disappointment and said hesitantly: "The nursing home you chose has many medical qualifications that they do not have. There have been lawsuits by nursing staff who abused the elderly before, and they suppressed them with money, and there are also..."

"He is my father." Ren Yi did not look up at him, "You don't have to worry."

Gong Yingxian pursed his lips: "I promise I will never do that anymore. Send the old captain back. No place can provide better care than us." His original intention was just to treat Ren Yan well, but after discovering Ren Xiangrong's identity, everything began to develop in an uncontrollable direction.

"I shouldn't have accepted it." Ren Yi said calmly, "We are not close to each other, but I accept this kind of gift for nothing. To be honest, it's enough to accept bribes. Now this place is what my father should have been to. If he is not doing well, I will change his place or hire a nanny, but I will not let you get close to him anymore."

Gong Yingxian said sadly: "What about us? Are you going to treat me like this all the time?"

Ren Yi took a bite of the meal and put down his chopsticks: "I'm full, let's go first." He grabbed his coat and walked out without looking back.

Gong Yingxian slowly clenched his fists, and his face became gloomy with naked eyes, as if the temperature of the air around him dropped sharply. He also stood up and chased after him for a few steps, but looking at Ren Yi's Juejue's back, he suddenly lost the courage to chase him.

He had never experienced such a thing, nor had he bowed to anyone. He was panicked, confused, and at a loss. He didn't know how to face Ren Yi's repeated rejection and indifference. He couldn't bear to see Ren Yi treat him coldly, and he couldn't stand Ren Yi's drifting away from him. Ren Yi's merciless turn took away his joys, anger, sorrow and happiness, making him empty, as if he had lost everything.

Ren Yi ignored him, what should he do?!

-----

What Gong Yingxian said that day did make Ren Yi a little worried, so he called his father every day to confirm how his father was doing in a new place, and he got a reassuring answer every time.

After calming down for a few days, Ren Yi began to rethink his relationship with Gong Yingxian. He still couldn't let go of what Gong Yingxian did, but whenever he saw the other party's frustrated and anxious appearance, his heart would hurt. He realized that even when he reached this point, he still instinctively did not want Gong Yingxian to be sad.

While spitting on himself, he struggled to continue to cooperate with Gong Yingxian, and even what will the future of him and Gong Yingxian look like?

The only contact between the two people these days was that Gong Yingxian asked him to use his official account to post some cases that warn minors to pay attention to fire safety in order to stimulate Fang Zhixu.

Ren Yi did as he did, and then he quickly got it done. One Friday afternoon, Fang Zhixu appeared in the Phoenix Squadron.

Fang Zhixu was dressed casually, carrying a large schoolbag on her shoulders. Judging from the posture of the schoolbag falling, there were obviously many books inside.

Ren Yi frowned and looked at him: "What are you doing in the squadron?"

"I just got off the cram school and happened to pass by." Fang Zhixu walked away from her hair and looked at the reception room, "It hasn't changed much from me in the past two years."

"What can change in a reception room?" Ren Yi said, "Sit down, drink drinks, there is coke and milk."

"No." Fang Zhixu obviously didn't like Ren Yi to treat him as a child. He deliberately sat on the sofa with his legs crossed to increase his "area".

Ren Yi said: "Is the college entrance examination this year? How are the grades? Which school do you want to take? "

"It's okay, it's okay to post a book." Fang Zhixu curled his lips, "Just be able to submit a job."

"Who to whom, parents?"

"Who else?" Fang Zhixu said this, and his tone was disdainful.

"This is for yourself. You should study hard, not sleeping in the middle of the night, why do you do in that kind of place?"

Fang Zhixu looked at Ren Yi without blinking: "Do you really want to know?"

Ren Yi laughed: "Don't be stupid. If you want to say it, just say it quickly, sir, he is really busy."

Fang Zhixu raised her legs and crossed her legs: "I said, will you tell the police?"

"If the information you said is useful, of course I have to tell the police. I have to cooperate with the police in handling the case."

"Then why should I say it?" Fang Zhixu said coldly.

"Then why are you here?"

Fang Zhixu narrowed her eyes: "You are different from what I imagined."

Ren Yi smiled and shook his head: "I don't know how to answer your words."

"Why did Platoon Commander Sun die at that time?" Fang Zhixu looked at Ren Yi, "The news reports are very vague."

Ren Yi's face changed slightly: "What do you ask for this?"

"I just want to know, can't it be?" Fang Zhixu stared at Ren Yi, "I want to know how a hero died, to save a little boy? How did he save it? Why did he die? What did he say before he died? Did he have..."

"Shut up!" Ren Yi growled, his eyes lit up, "Get out, or I'll throw you out."

Fang Zhixu said unconvincedly: "Why, I just want to know what happened, why was Platoon Leader Sun rather than you who sacrificed it?"

Ren Yi suddenly stood up from the sofa, walked to Fang Zhixu a few steps, grabbed his collar, and lifted him up.

Fang Zhixu's chest was fluctuating violently. He looked up at Ren Yi, with a terrified look in his eyes.

Ren Yi said in a cold voice: "Get out."

"I'll exchange it with you." Fang Zhixu showed a sick smile, "Tell me how Platoon Leader Sun died, and I'll tell you what I saw in Wenhui Shopping Mall."

"Boy, you want to tease the adults. Do you really think you have the weight?"

"I didn't tease you. I really saw something, something very important, and I took it away."

"...what?" Ren Yi let go of him and stared at him viciously, "Give me a little tip, otherwise I won't believe you."

Fang Zhixu curled her lips and smiled: "The fire time you have now is designed. The thing I have obtained can help you confirm an important timeline and maybe help you catch the murderer."

"Why do you know this!" Ren Yi gritted his teeth.

"I can't say, how about it, exchange?" Fang Zhixu grinned.
