37: Second intelligence update, evidence emerges

“Director Xu, a leader at the East Sea Conservatory of Music, embezzled national scholarships from the Music Academy.”

“My sister, Gao Xiaohui, repeatedly tried to get the scholarship back from Director Xu, but he always brushed her off with various excuses and even threatened her.”

Since Li Qingyan asked, Gao Ze had no intention of hiding anything.

Even if he didn't say anything, with Li Qingyan's background and ability, she would be able to investigate it thoroughly, so it was better to tell her and make her feel like she had him figured out.

“So, husband, was it you who made Director Xu lose his job and go to prison?”

Her cherry-red lips were covered, her face showed a surprised expression, and her eyes sparkled like stars. All of this, on a great beauty like Li Qingyan, was pleasing to the eye and infinitely gratifying.

Gao Ze secretly guarded himself, making sure he didn't fall first.

“That's right, I investigated him thoroughly, found his dirty laundry, and eliminated him.”

“Husband, you're amazing~”

“I admire you more and more. Have a big shrimp!”

Li Qingyan picked up a kuruma prawn and placed it in Gao Ze's bowl, her eyes becoming even more charming.

Her shock wasn't entirely fake; most of her emotions were genuine, a true surprise.

Although Director Xu's official position wasn't very high, at the age of thirty-something, he was already a mid-to-high-level leader in the university education system, belonging to a promising young faction, and his ability and background were not small.

But for Gao Ze, a mere Traffic Police officer, to be able to bring down Director Xu, his ability was truly rare.

“Who sent you those two calls? It seems someone wants to invite you to a banquet?”

Li Qingyan asked tentatively, “And another person, it seemed to be a girl, right?”

The kuruma prawn in his mouth suddenly froze. Gao Ze: “…”

He finally understood the benefits of a big house.

At least the living room was big enough, or the kitchen had a glass door to block sound, so Li Qingyan wouldn't hear everything.

“A friend I met at work wants to thank me, so he invited me to a banquet.”

Gao Ze sighed in his heart and said, “As for the other call, you heard correctly, it was indeed a girl.”

“Husband, you wouldn't blame me for eavesdropping on your call, would you?”

Li Qingyan moved her chair closer to Gao Ze, her eyes full of deep affection and tenderness. Gao Ze felt his own wife was a bit of a green tea.

“What did you talk about on the phone? Who was that girl?”

Before Gao Ze could answer, Li Qingyan immediately asked. Out of the two calls, she was more curious about the mysterious girl's call, which Gao Ze had clearly talked about for longer.

“That girl is my sister's classmate. Her parents gave her a sum of money to invest, and she didn't know how, so I taught her.”

Gao Ze briefly recounted his experience with Li Qingshu. After listening, Li Qingyan nodded in satisfaction.

“Husband, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to pry. I just care about you too much, and it makes me seem too controlling.”

After understanding Li Qingshu's identity, Li Qingyan didn't take it to heart. What kind of investment ability did Gao Ze have to teach a girl?

How much money could that girl have? It was just a small-time affair.

Just a normal interaction.

“It's nothing. Let's eat. The food you made tastes really good.”

Gao Ze didn't mind. Li Qingyan had bipolar disorder, and her consistent gentleness and cuteness in front of him already made him relieved.

It had to be said that Li Qingyan's cooking was very delicious, almost making him feel it didn't match her prominent status and background.

“When I was little, I often cooked in college. It's no exaggeration to say I can win your stomach.”

Li Qingyan proudly raised her head, revealing her fair little canine teeth, looking especially cute.

After Gao Ze polished off the meal, she chuckled and proactively cleared the dishes, putting them into the sink to wash.

“If I really had a wife like Li Qingyan, it wouldn't be bad!”

Watching Li Qingyan tie on her apron and quietly wash the dishes, with that focused look on her beautiful profile, this thought naturally arose in Gao Ze's mind.

Compared to many 'little fairies' in today's matchmaking market who demand cars, houses, and betrothal gifts, and refuse housework, work, and children, a girl like Li Qingyan, who cooked well, knew how to act cute, was sweet and adorable, and didn't demand cars, houses, or betrothal gifts, was truly one of a kind.

It was just a pity that their marriage was a sham, and Li Qingyan had no feelings for him.

Perhaps all of this was even a disguise!

“It's so late now. As husband and wife, shouldn't we be doing something?”

After washing the dishes, Li Qingyan went into the bathroom to take a shower. Carrying a fresh scent, she hugged Gao Ze's neck from behind. Two cloud-like soft and plump sensations pressed against Gao Ze's back, making it difficult for him to focus on the case files.

“You go rest in my room for the night. I'll sleep in my brother's room.”

Gao Ze sighed inwardly. It was impossible to expect Li Qingyan to actually do anything. As long as her bipolar disorder wasn't resolved, it would be difficult for her to truly live a married life with him.

But Li Qingyan kept teasing him like a green tea. Who could resist?

After solving Zheng Yiren's case, resolving Li Qingyan's bipolar disorder and the capture mission needed to be put on the agenda.

“Husband, you're so good~”

“Mwah~” A fragrant kiss landed on Gao Ze's cheek, accompanied by a rich scent of milk mixed with roses.

When Gao Ze woke up from his daze, he only saw Li Qingyan's half-smiling, watery eyes. She then walked into his room, looking back twice, and gently closed the door.

“System intelligence refresh is the most important.”

Gao Ze shook his head, casting aside the thoughts swirling in his mind, and focused on waiting for the time to pass midnight.

After Director Xu's threat was removed, there was still the threat of Zheng Yiren, the rich second generation. Gao Ze hoped that the system intelligence would refresh with clues about Mu Yu Rou's Case, preferably evidence of Zheng Yiren's assault on Mu Yu Rou.

That way, in addition to his plan against Zheng Yiren, he would have double assurance to send Zheng Yiren to his death.
