“Lingyu, so you live here?” Jiang Tao followed Xiao Lingyu to the alley and looked at the single-story courtyard. “And this house is…”

“I rented this place.” Xiao Lingyu explained, “I rented this place to keep my stock. Grandma Song, the landlady, is a very nice person and offers me cheap rent. I love the environment here.”

However, Jiang Tao frowned. “But this place is remote. It’s better in the day, but it’s unsafe at night. Moreover, you have to get up early to set up your business. It’s so dangerous if you’re targeted.”

Xiao Lingyu was stunned before she burst out laughing. “There are rumors that Xing Yin County’s Police Chief is a cold and heartless person, but now, he’s acting like a worried mother. If others find out about this, their jaws will drop.”

Jiang Tao was stunned before he said self-deprecatingly, “I don’t even know I can act so motherly.”

Xiao Lingyu took out two bags of vegetables from the warehouse and handed them to Jiang Tao. “Chief Jiang, please give the bigger bag to Uncle Chen. The smaller one is for you!”

Jiang Tao wanted to decline. He didn’t want to take her stock. If he did, she’d have less income.

“Don’t be in such a hurry to decline.” Xiao Lingyu stopped him. “Chief Jiang, my crops are really delicious. You won’t resist coming back for more once you try them. My produce is not ordinary. You won’t get to taste them anytime soon if you miss this chance!” Xiao Lingyu was not boasting. She was merely telling the truth.

Jiang Tao relented. “Thank you then! Where are you going next? I’ll drive you!”

Xiao Lingyu shook her head. “Chief Jiang, I can’t take up more of your time. You must have many things to do. I’m just going to Number One High School to look for my little brother.”

“Number One High School? That’s on the way back to the station. I’ll drive you!” Jiang Tao said.

Xiao Lingyu thought about it and said, “Thank you so much, Chief Jiang!”

Jiang Tao frowned and then added, “Lingyu, we’re friends now. You can call me Brother Jiang or Brother Tao!”

“Okay!” Xiao Lingyu replied, “Brother Jiang, wait for me a moment!” She returned to the warehouse and came out carrying a bag filled with tomatoes and cucumbers.

When Jiang Tao and Xiao Lingyu arrived at the school gate, Jiang Tao received a call. Jiang Tao stopped the car to answer the call. “Tianhao! This is a rare surprise! What? You’re at Xing Yin County? You should have told me that earlier! Okay, we’ll talk when we meet later!”

Xiao Lingyu walked away to find Xiao Lingye. She waved at Jiang Tao, and he waved back.

Jiang Tao got back into his back and drove to the best hotel in Xing Yin County–Lakeside Hotel.

“Tianhao, what brings you to our little nape of the woods? This is not a place for a young master like yourself!” Jiang Tao teased his friend once he entered the room.

Gong Tianhao, dressed in a white robe, sat lazily on the sofa with a glass of red wine in his hand. He shook it twice and said coldly, “You’re the eldest young master of the Jiang Family. Since you’re here, why can’t I?”

Jiang Tao curled his lips. “Everyone says I’m hard to approach. That’s because they haven’t met you.”

Gong Tianhao didn’t answer. He took a sip of red wine and asked, “You’ve been here for three years already. When do you plan to go back? You said you’ll go back after completing your training here for three years.”
