Jun Li's words made Jiang Jincheng feel completely relieved. Jiang Jincheng knew that if Jun Li said this, the matter would definitely be resolved. He really wanted to solve the Qincun case more than anyone else... After all, that was the regret he left behind fifteen years ago.

"Don't worry, Officer Jiang. Just wait until you get home and watch the news reports."

Jun Li poured himself another glass of wine and then smiled: "Those upper echelons who concealed the crimes should not cover up the crimes for their own selfish desires even if they were forced to do so."

"Someone will make them pay the price. Time can indeed dilute people's memories, but it cannot erase the sins they have committed."

"Officer Jiang doesn't need to feel guilty about what happened back then. I still say that we should do what we can in our position."

"Thank you…"

Jiang Jincheng breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Jun Li with eyes full of gratitude: "Thank you so much... If it weren't for you, I might never be able to forgive myself in this life. To be honest, the Qincun case was a hurdle that I couldn't overcome in my career. Since the day I was forced to transfer back, I have been living in self-blame..."

"I know that someone is behind the scenes trying to prevent me from getting promoted. I guess they are afraid that I will really reopen the investigation into the case after I get promoted."

Jiang Jincheng sighed heavily and laughed: "It's okay now... everything is over... I can let it go."

The dinner table was quiet again. Xiao Ling, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stood up, picked up his wine glass and looked at Jun Li: "Mr. Jun, I haven't said thank you to you yet."

Jun Li quickly stood up upon hearing this and joked, "Why are you all standing here instead of sitting down on the chairs? We are not that unfamiliar with each other, are we?"

“Standing up to say thank you is more sincere than sitting down.”

Xiao Ling showed a gentle smile on his face: "I want to thank Mr. Jun for helping me find Captain Jiang, otherwise... I really don't know what to do alone..."

Jiang Jincheng's hand holding the chopsticks trembled slightly. He raised his eyes to look at Xiao Ling, but saw that Xiao Ling's eyes were also looking at him, but just glanced and then looked away.

"I'm so sorry for spending so much time calling Mr. Jun for help. I didn't expect that Mr. Jun would really help me..."

"No, I don't treat you as outsiders. Investigating the case is like making a friend. How can I just sit there and do nothing when something happens to my friend?"

Jun Li smiled and then gently placed his other hand on Bai Ze's shoulder. He said with a little pride in his voice, "Besides, my wife contributed more to this matter than I did. The fact that I was able to resolve this incident later was entirely due to my wife buying me time to draw the talisman."

Bai Ze paused, a suspicious blush appeared on his ears. He coughed, but his face showed no abnormality. He said softly, as if he didn't care, "Nothing."

"Ah...yes...then I..."

"Oh, no need!"

Jun Li gently took Bai Ze's teacup away and waved his hand: "My wife doesn't drink, I'll drink it for her."

Jun Li drank two cups directly and briskly. Bai Ze calmly tugged at the corner of Jun Li's clothes and said softly, "Drink less."

"Don't worry, wife."

Jun Li patted Bai Ze's hand in a soothing manner and then smiled at the two of them, "Okay, you've said thank you all, right? Stop it! Eat! No more drinking!"

"My wife won't let me drink anymore. She put her hands down and pulled at my clothes. If I drink any more, I'll have to squeeze with you guys tonight. My wife won't let me get on the bed."

"Nonsense..."

Bai Ze's face flushed and he pursed his lips and snorted softly, but the excitement in his eyes was obvious.

"What's the matter? Will you let me sleep with my wife tonight?"

Jun Li was already a little drunk. He hugged Bai Ze's waist and rubbed it affectionately without any hesitation, and began to call her "wife~" in a sticky voice.

Seeing Jun Li like this, Jiang Jincheng simply took the wine away and stopped him from drinking. Otherwise, who knows what would happen if he went crazy.

Jun Li drank too much and hugged Bai Ze and kissed him fiercely. Bai Ze had no choice but to put his hand on Jun Li's mouth which kept getting closer and closer and said to the two of them: "Where is the room? I'll take him there to take a shower and sleep. He definitely can't drink like this."

"I'll take you there. It's upstairs."

Xiao Ling stood up and took another look at Jun Li, who was holding Bai Ze tightly and humming. He asked tentatively, "Do you want me to help carry him up?"

"No, I can do it myself."

How could Bai Ze allow anyone to touch Jun Li? He simply hugged Jun Li in his arms like a princess.

"Jun Tiantian" habitually hooked Bai Ze's neck and rubbed his chest affectionately, calling softly: "Brain Po~"

"Shut up! If you embarrass yourself again, I'll throw you out!"

Bai Ze glanced at him grimly, and looked at Jun Li coldly with a hint of warning.

Seeing Bai Ze like this, "Jun Tiantian" made a sound of "嘤~", hugged Bai Ze's waist, arched his back and whispered: "My wife is fierce..."

Xiao Ling: …

Jiang Jincheng: …

I really want to poke my eyes out...

"Ahem... um... you two have a pretty... pretty good relationship..."

"Ah."

Bai Ze gently shook Jun Li and said softly, "Behave yourself. I'll change your clothes and give you a bath later. You stink!"

"I want my wife to take a shower with me~"

Bai Ze: …

After Bai Ze carried Jun Li upstairs, only Jiang Jincheng and Xiao Ling were left in the private room.

Xiao Ling didn't say anything else. He sat quietly for a while and then said, "Uncle, go and have a rest. I'm sleepy too."

"Row."

Jiang Jincheng felt a little dizzy from drinking. When he stood up, he staggered a bit but stood up quickly. Xiao Ling stared at Jiang Jincheng and followed him upstairs.

When passing by Jun Li's room, I could still hear the couple arguing there. It seemed that Jun Li insisted that Bai Ze take off all his clothes and take a shower with him, but Bai Ze was unwilling and scolded him.

Jiang Jincheng knew that Xiao Ling was following him, and he thought Xiao Ling was going to use some tricks to squeeze into the same bed with him again. However, Xiao Ling just brushed past Jiang Jincheng and pushed open the door of the next room.

"you…"

"What's wrong, uncle?"

Xiao Ling held the door handle and looked at him again, seeming a little confused but still asked: "Uncle, is there anything else?"

"fine…"

"Well, go to bed early. Uncle drank a lot tonight."

After Xiao Ling finished speaking, he went into the room and closed the door. Jiang Jincheng stood outside the door in a daze, then suddenly lowered his eyes and smiled.

He closed the door, took off his clothes and took a hot bath. By the time he lay down on the bed, it was already past twelve o'clock.

Jiang Jincheng clearly felt very tired but just couldn't fall asleep. Xiao Ling's sudden change in attitude made Jiang Jincheng extremely uncomfortable.

It felt like his attitude was a bit weird, but there was nothing wrong with it. Jiang Jincheng could feel that Xiao Ling was deliberately distancing himself from him, but every time Jiang Jincheng was prepared to be alienated, every word Xiao Ling said showed that he cared about him.

Damn...are you kidding me...

Every time he thought it through and was ready, he would just be with him the same as before, or even be a little distant. However, Xiao Ling's hot and cold attitude made Jiang Jincheng extremely uncomfortable. He didn't know how he should treat Xiao Ling.

Jiang Jincheng was afraid that if he was too cold, Xiao Ling would feel uncomfortable, and if he was too enthusiastic, Xiao Ling would feel that there was still hope...

But Xiao Ling's hot and cold attitude towards Jiang Jincheng made Jiang Jincheng suddenly feel... like the person who had always cared about him no longer wanted him.

"I'm really fucking convinced..."

Jiang Jincheng felt like he was a lunatic, thinking over and over again. How could he be trapped in love at his age?

Since he has decided to maintain the relationship of elder and junior with Xiao Ling, he should behave like an elder. Why is he still thinking about Xiao Ling's attitude towards him? He doesn't care about his attitude. He just needs to behave like an elder!

However, humans are emotional animals. Jiang Jincheng couldn't help feeling disappointed when Xiao Ling became hot and cold without any warning. He always felt uncomfortable and annoyed.

"Fuck! No more sleep!"

Jiang Jincheng really couldn't sleep now, his mind was full of Xiao Ling's weird attitude. Anyway, he was in the manor now, so he might as well go out for a walk and see the scenery at night.
