- You'll regret it, be sure...
That smug face has been standing like that in front of his eyes for days now. No, Xiao Zhan was sure that this guy had something to do with the criminals they were supposed to catch. He was definitely hiding something...
And naturally, as an exemplary servant of his homeland, Lieutenant Xiao Zhan of the Special Operations Squad just couldn't stop thinking about it. About how the other day they were sent on another mission to catch those people who were "suspected" of human trafficking. Suspected was an understatement, they had all the evidence in front of them, but to go against them openly could have meant the beginning of a conflict between countries, so they were told to do everything quietly. In principle there was nothing difficult in the assignment. Compared to what their team usually did, this case should have been a mere trifle, but fate has prepared for him not a very pleasant gift...
(P.s.: as you know, I don't describe illness, war, or things that might involve politics, so we'll dispense with explaining the conflict between which countries here, too.)
- Are you still thinking about him? - The voice of his friend pulls him out of the abyss of his thoughts and he realizes that the question he asked him is still unanswered. What had he been asking, anyway? Oh, yes, did he find out anything about this guy.
- I guess by tomorrow night I'll know who he is and his connection to those human traffickers.
- I had already forgotten my question. You didn't say anything for so long. It's the first time I've seen you so interested in anyone. Or is it because you failed the mission because of him? - no one couldn't stop him. Give him a reason and Jingyu wouldn't shut up until dawn. Already tired Xiao Zhan rubbed his temples, deliberately showing it to his friend and so he himself knew that it was time for him to fuck off.
- Answer, don't be silent, - but what was he hoping for in the first place?
- First of all, I didn't fail the assignment, I failed to meet the deadline. Plus, this guy managed to get away with it. He made me blush in front of the general. Second, I'm sure he's connected to those dealers. Why else would he be there? - Despite the fact that he was in no mood at all now, he explained in a calm voice.
And to his surprise, apparently Jingyu runs out of questions, he just nods his head at his answer and begins to think about his own thoughts, finally letting him sit in silence for a while at least...
Songling said he would get everything he needed to know about this guy by tomorrow night, so all that was left to do was wait. Waiting patiently. And perhaps he could only be calm after he had made sure that this man carried no danger...

The day was supposed to be going great today, but the morning began with Zhaoyi deciding to share some not-so-good finds with him. What do you mean findings... let's say information.
- Remember I told you yesterday that the database wasn't working very well. Well, last night I decided to look into what was wrong, and I suspect that someone broke into our data system yesterday, - she stated in a whisper, gathering him and Lujing beside her. The three of them were good friends and colleagues, so new information was the first thing they shared with each other.
- Is this the kind of thing we should be discussing in silence like this? - Lujing wondered at her words and Yibo would have agreed with him, but something told him it wasn't that simple. He should have listened to the end.
Seeing them both shut up and look at her expectantly for further narration, Zhaoyi continued:
- I would have reported to my superiors right away, but not in this case. Because they weren't looking for information about our cases, they were digging on you, - she pointed her finger at him. There was a dead silence for a few seconds and it was as if they were alone in the station.
