Solving the case: Combining the police dog's olfactory genes at the beginning

Yuan Bingyan immediately beamed: "Thank you, Captain Luo! Don't worry, Xuanran won't know. The class reunion is in Shanghai, you won't run into her."

Although Luo Fei agreed to Yuan Bingyan's request, he was reluctant. He worried that Chen Xuanran would misunderstand if she found out, but he also felt that it was just a small favor for a colleague and there shouldn't be any problem.

During his two-day holiday, Luo Fei visited the former leaders of the Beijiang District Police Station and the Jiulong District Police Station. Both former leaders expressed their appreciation for the major case Luo Fei had recently solved.

The former director of the Beijiang District Public Security Bureau patted Luo Fei on the shoulder: "Young Luo, you've really brought honor to Beijiang District! Such a big case, solved just like that!"

The Kowloon Precinct leadership also said, "I heard you also caught that scoundrel Du Changfeng? Well done! The police force needs elites like you!"

Luo Fei responded modestly, "It's all thanks to the excellent guidance of the leaders. I still have a lot to learn."

After the visit, Luo Fei looked at Chen Xuanran's photo on his phone and sighed softly. He hoped that helping Yuan Bingyan this time wouldn't affect his relationship with Chen Xuanran.

At the same time, he vaguely sensed that Yuan Bingyan might have other motives for asking him to pretend to be her boyfriend, and that it wasn't just about dealing with the class reunion.

But since he had already promised, Luo Fei decided to keep his word. He sent Yuan Bingyan a message: "Send me the specific time and place of the class reunion. Remember, this is the only time."

Yuan Bingyan quickly replied, "Thank you, Captain Luo! Don't worry, I definitely won't cause you any trouble!"

Lei Wanting paced back and forth in his office, a complex expression on his face. He was pleased that Luo Fei had successfully solved the serial disappearance case and brought down Xiao Yuanfeng, but he was also worried that Luo Fei would offend the forces behind Xiao Yuanfeng as a result.

After careful consideration, he decided to have Luo Fei resign from his temporary post in the Jiangcheng Criminal Investigation Team and considered promoting him to director of the 18th Bureau of the State Security Bureau to ensure his safety.

"Secretary Zhou, please inform Luo Fei to come see me," Lei Wanting said to Zhou Wenqi, who was standing to the side.

Zhou Wenqi looked surprised: "Director Lei, are you sure you want Luo Fei to be the director of the 18th Bureau? He only joined the National Security Bureau recently."

Lei Wanting said firmly, "Ability has no relation to seniority. Luo Fei has already proven his worth. Do as I say."

Meanwhile, Luo Fei was having dinner at his mentor Zhou Gang's house. The atmosphere at the table was warm, and Zhou Gang's wife, Zhou Qin, had prepared a table full of dishes.

"Master, your TV is too old. Let me get you a new one," Luo Fei said, looking at the old-fashioned TV in the living room.

Zhou Gang waved his hand: "Why waste that money? It's fine as long as it's watchable."

Zhou Yuanyuan teased from the side, "Dad, please don't refuse. Luo Fei is now a Level 3 Police Supervisor, his rank is higher than yours!"

Luo Fei laughed and said, "No matter how high his rank is, he's still your apprentice. He'll still get scolded if he has to."

Then, Luo Fei added, "Master, I'd like to get you a different car. I've already ordered a Xiaomi SU7 and paid the deposit."

Zhou Gang was somewhat surprised: "Why are you spending so much money, kid?"

Luo Fei explained, "My salary at Guoan is quite high, over 100,000 yuan a month, which I can afford."

Zhou Qin covered her mouth in surprise: "Over ten thousand? Are the salaries at Guoan that high?"

Although Zhou Gang was touched, he still felt it was a waste: "You should have kept this money to get married."

Zhou Yuanyuan suddenly interjected: "Speaking of getting married, Luo Fei, your previous girlfriends never lasted more than three months. How long will this relationship with Chen Xuanran last?"

Zhou Qin glared at her daughter: "Yuanyuan, how can you talk like that!"

Zhou Yuanyuan retorted, "Mom, didn't you used to hope Luo Fei would be your son-in-law? What are you pretending for now?"

Zhou Qin blushed instantly with embarrassment. Zhou Gang quickly smoothed things over, "Alright, alright, let's get down to business. Luo Fei, which department exactly are you in at the National Security Bureau?"

"Bureau 18, Special Cases Investigation Bureau." Luo Fei had just finished speaking when his phone rang.

The caller ID showed it was Secretary Zhou from the National Security Bureau. Luo Fei answered the phone, and his expression changed as he listened.

"What? Resigned from his temporary post in the Criminal Investigation Team? To become the director of the 18th Bureau?" Luo Fei repeated the contents of the phone call in shock.

Zhou Gang and Zhou Qin were both stunned, unable to believe their ears.

"Is this...is this real?" Zhou Gang asked, his voice trembling.

Luo Fei hung up the phone, his expression complicated: "Director Lei asked me to resign from my position in the Criminal Investigation Team and take on the role of Director of the 18th Bureau of the Ministry of State Security."

Zhou Gang suddenly stood up, his face ashen: "What did you say? Director?" Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly clutched his chest and fell backward.

"Master!" Luo Fei exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly helped Zhou Gang up.

Zhou Qin was so frightened that she panicked and cried out, "Old Zhou! Old Zhou, what's wrong? I... I'll call 120!"

Zhou Yuanyuan panicked as well: "Dad! Don't scare us!"

Luo Fei immediately checked Zhou Gang's condition and calmly instructed, "Master's wife, call 120 first. Yuanyuan, go get Master's emergency medicine!"

Zhou Qin dialed 120 with trembling hands: "Hello, 120? Someone has fainted here, the address is..."

Zhou Yuanyuan hurriedly took out a quick-acting heart medicine from the drawer, and Luo Fei carefully gave it to Zhou Gang.

"Master, hold on, the ambulance will be here soon." Luo Fei held Zhou Gang's hand tightly, his heart filled with guilt.

Zhou Gang slowly opened his eyes and said weakly, "Luo Fei...you...you really became the bureau chief?"

Luo Fei nodded: "Yes, Master, but please don't get excited, your health is the most important thing."

Zhou Gang forced a smile: "Good disciple. You've made your master proud."

The ambulance siren grew louder as it approached. Luo Fei said to Zhou Qin, "Master's wife, you and Yuanyuan accompany Master to the hospital. I'll come over as soon as I finish what I'm doing."

Zhou Qin asked worriedly, "Are you alright? Being a bureau chief is such a big deal."

Luo Fei reassured him, "Don't worry, I can handle it. The most important thing right now is Master's health."

The medical staff quickly lifted Zhou Gang into the ambulance. Luo Fei watched the ambulance drive away, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He hadn't expected his promotion to excite his mentor so much, and he certainly hadn't expected Director Lei to make such a decision.

He took out his phone and sent a message to Lei Wanting: "Director Lei, thank you for your trust. But I need time to think about it, and I also have some personal matters to attend to."

After sending the message, Luo Fei took a deep breath. The position of bureau chief meant greater power, but also greater responsibility and danger. He had to carefully consider this decision, while also ensuring his master's well-being.

The next day, Luo Fei brought Chen Yifan back to the Jiangcheng City Criminal Investigation Center. As soon as they entered, his colleagues surrounded him, congratulating him on his arrival.

Captain Wan Qiang said with a smile, "Luo Fei, you've become quite famous! These past few days, many people have been asking about you, trying to find out if you're single. But once Chen Xuanran arrived, they all backed down."

Luo Fei looked around: "Where's Xuanran? I don't see her."

Wan Qiang explained, "She took over Sister Ya's work and is now a key member of the Second Team's logistics department, currently organizing the archives."

Wan Qiang then lowered his voice and said, "By the way, I'm investigating a dismemberment case from thirteen years ago, but I haven't made any progress. Could you take a look?" Luo Fei was silent for a moment, then said solemnly, "Captain, actually, I'm here today to resign."

This statement stunned everyone present. Wan Qiang asked in surprise, "Resign? Why? You're doing such a good job!"

Luo Fei sighed: "Because I arrested Xiao Yuanfeng, I offended the higher-ups. The higher-ups asked me to leave the criminal investigation team to avoid bigger trouble."

Colleagues expressed their reluctance to part ways:
"Captain Luo, you can't leave!"

"Jiangcheng needs someone like you!"

"Is someone making things difficult for you?"

Luo Fei looked at everyone with emotion: "Thank you for your concern. But I promise that if there are any complicated cases in Jiangcheng, I will come back to help at any time."

Afterwards, Luo Fei went to Director Meng Haonan's office. Upon hearing that he wanted to resign, Meng Haonan looked dejected: "Luo Fei, you are the pride of our criminal investigation team. But since this is an arrangement from higher up, I understand. Do a good job in the National Security Bureau, and don't bring shame to our Jiangcheng police force."

After Luo Fei left, Chen Xuanran learned of his resignation. She was furious and stomped her feet, then went to her best friend Zhu Ke'er to complain: "He didn't even tell me he was resigning! He has no respect for me at all!"

Zhu Ke'er suggested, "You should ignore this kind of chauvinistic man for a few days. Let him know how important you are!"

Chen Xuanran took this advice and ignored Luo Fei for several days. She wouldn't answer his calls or reply to his messages, which left him very confused.

On Qingming Festival, Luo Fei insisted on dragging Chen Xuanran to his parents' graves. This was the first time Chen Xuanran had seen Luo Fei's deceased parents.

At the grave, Luo Fei solemnly introduced, "Dad, Mom, this is Xuanran, my girlfriend. We'll give you a grandson in the future, so you can be happy too."

Although Chen Xuanran felt a little strange, he still bowed to the tombstone and said, "Hello, uncles and aunts, I am Xuanran."

Suddenly, Chen Xuanran turned to Luo Fei and questioned him, "By the way, how many girlfriends did you have before?"

Luo Fei scratched his head awkwardly: "This...it's all in the past, it's not important, is it?"

Chen Xuanran persisted, "How can it not be important? I only have you, but you've had so many girlfriends. That's so unfair!"

Luo Fei tried to defuse the situation with humor: "That just shows I'm experienced! In the end, I use it all to help you, don't I?"

Chen Xuanran curled his lip: "Lies!"

Luo Fei said earnestly, "Really. It's because of my experience that I know what kind of girl is best for me. You are the best one."

Although Chen Xuanran still felt it was unfair, her heart had softened. She gently leaned on Luo Fei's shoulder: "You're not allowed to hide anything from me from now on."

Luo Fei hugged her: "Okay, I promise."

The two stood quietly in front of the grave for a while. Luo Fei said softly, "Mom and Dad, don't worry, I will treat Xuanran well. I will continue to be a good policeman and won't let you down."

As they descended the mountain, Chen Xuanran asked, "So, what are your plans for the future?"

Luo Fei gazed into the distance: "I'll focus on doing a good job at the National Security Bureau first. But no matter where I am, solving cases and catching bad guys is my mission."

Chen Xuanran squeezed his hand: "No matter where you are, I will support you."

Luo Fei looked at her, touched. "Thank you for understanding. Once I've established myself at Guoan, shall we get married?"

Chen Xuanran nodded, blushing, "Okay, I'll wait for you."

After Luo Fei and Chen Xuanran finished paying their respects to their parents at the cemetery, the atmosphere became more relaxed. Chen Xuanran suddenly asked playfully, "All your ex-girlfriends said you weren't good in bed, is that true?"

Luo Fei raised an eyebrow and smiled: "That's because they're ignorant. Tonight, I'll let you experience what real 'kung fu' is."

Just as the two were flirting, Luo Fei's phone rang. Seeing that the caller ID showed Yuan Bingyan, his expression changed slightly, and he walked aside to answer the call.

"Captain Luo, don't forget what you promised me. We're going to Shanghai tomorrow, and I've already booked the tickets," Yuan Bingyan's voice came through the phone.

Luo Fei lowered his voice: "I know, I'll be there on time."

After hanging up the phone, Luo Fei returned to Chen Xuanran's side, feigning an apologetic expression: "Xuanran, I'm sorry, I just received an urgent mission to go to Shanghai to handle a serial murder case. Tonight's 'surprise' will probably have to be postponed."

Chen Xuanran pouted in disappointment: "Why so suddenly?"

Luo Fei said helplessly, "It's an order from my superiors, there's nothing I can do. I'll definitely make it up to you when I get back."

Although disappointed, Chen Xuanran still expressed his understanding: "Okay, work is more important. But why did you resign? Weren't you doing very well in the criminal investigation team?"

Luo Fei sighed: "Because I arrested Xiao Yuanfeng, I offended the big boss above. Old Master Lei made me leave the Jiangcheng Criminal Investigation Team, saying he wanted to promote me to the director of the 18th Bureau."

Chen Xuanran stared in shock, his eyes wide: "Director? How old are you?!"

Luo Fei smiled wryly: "That's why I need to go to Shanghai to lay low for a while. When I come back, we can be closer."

After dropping Chen Xuanran off at home, Luo Fei immediately contacted Yuan Bingyan to confirm the itinerary. Meanwhile, Chen Xuanran called her best friend Zhu Ke'er: "Ke'er, want to come to Shanghai with me for a few days? Doesn't your cousin work at Disneyland?"

Zhu Ke'er said excitedly, "That's great! My cousin said he can give us free tickets. But...aren't you afraid of running into Luo Fei?"

Chen Xuanran said confidently, "Shanghai is so big, how could we possibly run into each other by chance?"

The next day at the airport, Luo Fei and Yuan Bingyan met. Yuan Bingyan looked Luo Fei up and down and said admiringly, "Captain Luo looks very handsome today."

Luo Fei responded casually, "It's just a business trip, no need to be so particular."

After boarding the plane, Yuan Bingyan finally revealed her true purpose: "Actually, I wanted to take you to meet my parents. They keep urging me to find a boyfriend, and I really have no other choice."

Luo Fei stared at her in shock: "You didn't mention this before!"

Yuan Bingyan said aggrievedly, "My family situation is special. My parents insist that I be with Chen Yifan, but I really don't like him. I can only ask you to help me put on an act."

Luo Fei sighed helplessly, "This is the last time."

During the flight, Yuan Bingyan tentatively asked, "Captain Luo, who do you think is prettier, me or Chen Xuanran?"

Luo Fei skillfully evaded the question: "Each has its own characteristics."

Yuan Bingyan persisted: "If you met me first, would you choose me?"

Luo Fei warned sternly, "Don't ask such dangerous questions again."

Yuan Bingyan pouted: "You're so stingy, you can't even make a hypothetical scenario." (End of Chapter)
