Awakening the Phoenix Flow System after the breakup, I'm so happy!

Li Ruoxue walked briskly over along the wooden boardwalk.

The black Doc Martens made a crisp sound as they stepped on the wooden planks.

His steps were quick and heavy.

Chen Yang looked at her beautiful face, which was taut and tense, and felt a chill run down his spine.

He had some doubts.

What went wrong? Could it be that I made too much noise while helping Xiaowan remove that darn cat tail in the room and she heard me?

Or perhaps it was those little tricks she tried to hide in the car, but they still couldn't escape the sharp eyes of this female detective.

Chen Yang quickly racked his brains for an excuse.

"Captain Li."

"Your question, which came out of nowhere, has completely baffled me."

"Why would I lie to you?"

Li Ruoxue stopped in front of him, pulled down the sunglasses hanging on her face, and stared intently at Chen Yang's face.

"Stop pretending."

"I just went to the camp management office and checked all the surveillance footage from the surrounding exits."

"I then carefully walked a large circle along the lakeside boardwalk."

"I also took the opportunity to question a few security guards on duty in detail."

"There isn't even a thief stealing electric bikes here; it's as clean as it gets."

"You keep saying the Black Feather Organization is going to make a big move here, but where are the clues? Where are the people?"

"Are you deliberately using the Special Investigation Bureau's investigation as a cover to trick me into coming out and giving you support, while you and your 'good sister' go on vacation together?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang finally felt relieved.

He let out a long breath.

It turns out he was throwing a tantrum because he had nothing to show for it.

He thought that Su Xiaowan's ringing bell had completely exposed her secret.

"You should have said so earlier! You scared me."

"If this case were so easy to investigate, you could just take a walk around and find all of Black Feather's people, then what would be the point of having me as a special advisor?"

Chen Yang took two steps forward and lowered his voice a little.

I'm not lying to you.

"You also know about the feng shui formation on the parchment that Captain Shen of the Dragon Group brought out from the basement."

"Black Feather and his gang aren't just conducting biological experiments; they're looking for the Five Elements Earth Veins in Jiangcheng."

"That piece of land in the eastern suburbs is just a focal point for extracting energy."

"And here, Mingzhu Lake is the core of the largest Five Elements Water Vein in the entire Jiangcheng."

"Based on the layout of that ancient formation, besides this place, there are likely four other corresponding locations for the elements of metal, wood, fire, and earth."

"We don't have any more clues right now. If we want to stop them, we can only start by investigating the waterway and follow the trail to find the other four locations."

"Do you understand now, Officer Li?"

Su Xiaowan stood to the side, listening to them talk about these convoluted things, and felt a headache coming on.

She reached out and rubbed her shrunken belly.

"You two stop talking about this weird stuff that I don't understand."

My stomach is rumbling.

"There's a big barbecue stall by the lake over there. I saw that it was quite crowded. If you go too late, you definitely won't get a seat."

"I'll go ahead and grab a good spot, order some food, and wait for you."

After Su Xiaowan finished speaking, she didn't care whether they agreed or not.

Wearing those chunky sneakers, I jogged all the way to the busiest commercial area by the lake.

Watching the little girl's cheerful figure run away into the distance.

Only Chen Yang and Li Ruoxue remained.

By this time, it was already dark.

Rows of retro orange streetlights lit up along the lake.

The evening breeze blows across the vast lake, carrying the fresh scent of aquatic plants, which feels especially comfortable on the skin.

Li Ruoxue was still looking down, pondering the Five Elements Water Veins that Chen Yang had just mentioned.

Chen Yang looked around.

There was no one on the wooden boardwalk next to us at that moment.

Without even saying hello, he reached out and grabbed Li Ruoxue's wrist.

With just a little effort.

They pulled her to a dead corner on the side of the wooden house.

Behind them was a thick willow tree, which completely blocked their figures.

Li Ruoxue was startled and shrank back abruptly.

"What are you doing? We're still outside."

Chen Yang remained silent.

He stepped forward and lowered his head to press his lips against her soft red lips.

At first, Li Ruoxue reached out and pushed against his chest.

He made a few indistinct protests.

But less than two seconds later...

The two resisting hands gradually lost their strength and eventually climbed up his neck.

She closed her eyes and let him take what he wanted in a domineering manner.

When the two parted ways.

Li Ruoxue's usually aloof and dignified face was now covered in a charming blush.

Even his usually steady breathing became erratic, his chest heaving.

Chen Yang smiled and reached out to gently scratch her nose.

"He just came over and questioned me, and he was so angry."

"The real issue isn't that there are no leads in the case, is it?"

"Were you jealous when you saw me being nice to Xiaowan in the car?"

Li Ruoxue turned her head away and gave a stubborn snort.

I didn't dare look him in the eye.

"Who's jealous?"

"Why would I, a dignified captain of the criminal investigation team, be jealous of your nonsense?"

Chen Yang wasn't annoyed at all; he reached out and pulled her into a tight embrace.

"You said you weren't jealous, but your face hasn't looked good since."

Li Ruoxue leaned on his shoulder, her body completely limp.

Her voice was so soft it was like a mosquito's hum; she didn't look like a policewoman at all.

"I just feel uncomfortable."

"I came all this way to help you with your case, and you insisted on bringing this burden along."

"And that girl was dressed up like that."

"And you want me to sit in the front and listen to you two flirting in the car? Who would be happy about that?"

Chen Yang patted her back gently, like he was coaxing a child.

"There's no flirting involved, she was just being dishonest, I was just teaching her a lesson."

"Okay, I promise you."

"After this important matter is finished, I will set aside time specifically to spend with you alone."

Upon hearing this, Li Ruoxue's mood visibly improved.

The two lingered behind the willow tree for a while longer.

Only after Li Ruoxue tied her disheveled hair back up did they walk side by side toward the barbecue stall by the lake.

I had just reached the outermost wooden fence of the barbecue stall.

Chen Yang immediately noticed a noisy argument.

Look in the direction from which the sound came.

At a glance, Su Xiaowan, who was surrounded by people, was spotted.

The barbecue stall is located near the best large round table by the lake.

Su Xiaowan stood angrily in front of the table, like a little hen protecting her food.

Three shady-looking young men were standing opposite them.

The leader was a young man wearing a floral shirt, with his hair slicked back and a dazzling gold watch on his wrist.

This man is named Zhao Tianyu, a notorious playboy in Jiangcheng.

Two lackeys followed beside him.

One of the fat guys is named Wang Kai, and the other is named Sun Lei.

Zhao Tianyu twirled a Mercedes car key in his hand, his eyes brazenly gazing at Su Xiaowan's long legs.

"Beautiful lady, look how big this table is, you can't possibly sit down by yourself."

"Why don't we give your brother some face and share a table?"

"This barbecue is on me. Whatever seafood or meat you want, order whatever you like. Don't try to save me money."

Su Xiaowan was so angry that her face turned red, and she pointed to the empty table next to her without any politeness.

"Who asked you to treat me? My boyfriend is coming right away."

"I reserved this table first, and there are so many empty seats next to it. Can't you go eat somewhere else?"

Sun Lei, the lackey, took a step forward.

He pulled over a chair and slammed it heavily onto the floor.

"Little sister, don't push your luck."

"Do you know who our Brother Yu is?"

"In this vast area of ​​Mingzhu Lake, there really isn't a table that our Brother Yu would like but can't sit at."

"That damn boyfriend of yours, if he shows up later, I'll make him kneel down and call me 'Brother Yu,' you believe me?"

Chen Yang heard these words clearly from outside.

Their pace quickened immediately.

Li Ruoxue also frowned, her professional instincts kicking in on the spot.

He reached straight for his waist, but unfortunately he was wearing casual clothes and hadn't brought any gear.

The two pushed through the crowd of onlookers and went inside.

Chen Yang walked directly to the table and pulled Su Xiaowan behind him to protect her.

He looked at the three people in front of him with a smile.

"What's wrong?"

"I am her boyfriend."

"Are you all blind and don't want to live?"

Zhao Tianyu looked Chen Yang up and down.

He was wearing a cheap T-shirt that cost only a few dozen yuan and a pair of drab gray shorts.

However, he was accompanied by a beautiful young woman.

Now, another stunningly beautiful woman in a denim jacket with a cool and aloof demeanor and an amazing figure emerges from the crowd and naturally stands next to Chen Yang.

Zhao Tianyu immediately felt a surge of bitterness welling up inside him.

He put away his car keys and gave a disdainful sneer.

"Kid, you're really lucky with the ladies, taking two such hot girls with you when you go out."

"However, you may not be familiar with the rules of this Pearl Lake Road today."

"I've got my eye on this spot, and I've also got my eye on the person behind you."

"Get out of here with that annoying face of yours, and I might have the mercy to leave you one leg to walk back on your own."

Chen Yang ignored him after hearing his arrogant words.

Instead, he turned his head and looked at Li Ruoxue, who was standing next to him with a displeased expression.

"Team Leader Li."

"Are all the petty thugs in Jiangcheng these days so reckless with their words?"

With a cold expression, Li Ruoxue slowly rolled up the sleeves of her denim jacket twice.

"Don't ask me."

"Are you planning to take matters into your own hands, or should I call the local police station and have them handcuffed?"

Li Ruoxue asked him how to solve it.

Chen Yang turned his head and looked at Li Ruoxue.

"There's no need to trouble our police officers to deal with these few scoundrels."

"Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut? I can just stretch my muscles myself."
