Siheyuan came through and sent Jia Zhang to prison

Qin Jingru knew in her heart that Ma Xin had feelings for He Feng. She had noticed it since she first arrived at the Siheyuan. Without giving it much thought, she looked at Ma Xin calmly and said (in a calm tone), "Expert Ma, your uncle is now the director of the Public Security Bureau. Who in Siheyuan would dare to have a grudge against him?"

Ma Xin smiled softly and said a little embarrassedly (a blush appeared on her face): "You should just call me Ma Xin. Calling me Expert Ma is a bit awkward for me. But why did I hear that someone was targeting He Feng at the beginning?"

Qin Jingru didn't think much of it. She knew exactly why she was telling Ma Xin all this: she just wanted Ma Xin to get to know He Feng better. Back then, when she first heard about He Feng, she'd been curious too, thinking about investigating him. But then, she realized that people like He Yuzhu, who lived simple, down-to-earth lives, were actually quite good. A stable life was all they needed.

Qin Jingru said to Ma Xin with a touch of emotion, "Actually, this is what happened..." Then, she recounted everything that He Feng had experienced in the courtyard, detail by detail. As she spoke, she observed Ma Xin's expression. Finally, looking at Ma Xin, she said seriously, "You don't know. At first, no one could have imagined that He Feng would actually be the director of the Public Security Bureau."

Upon hearing this, Ma Xin's eyes flashed with surprise. He quickly looked at Qin Jingru and asked, "You mean, they were planning to occupy He Feng's house from the beginning?" Qin Jingru nodded vigorously in confirmation. Ma Xin couldn't help but turn his head and look outside, frowning slightly, and whispered softly, "I didn't expect them to do such a hateful thing."

Qin Jingru seemed to have opened up her chatterbox and told him everything she had heard from He Yuzhu without reservation: "I heard all this from He Yuzhu. I never imagined that such a small courtyard could have so many messed up things."

Ma Xin nodded thoughtfully, then looked at Qin Jingru and suddenly asked, "Qin Jingru, tell me, which family is Yi Zhonghai's?" Qin Jingru thought Ma Xin was simply curious about the various households in the courtyard and wanted to learn more. So, she excitedly began to tell Ma Xin about the courtyard's layout and the situations of each family, from the way Yi Zhonghai's family behaved to the daily gossip of the courtyard family, with a very detailed and meticulous description.

Ma Xin listened with great interest, and the two of them exchanged a lot of things about the Siheyuan. After finishing, Ma Xin looked outside and fell into a brief silence, as if he was thinking about something, and did not say anything more.

At this moment, He Feng walked over with a brisk pace, a bright smile on his face, and said loudly: "Ma Xin, Qin Jingru, I'm almost done cooking the dishes over there. What are you two talking about here? Why are you so excited?"

Qin Jingru opened her mouth slightly and was about to say something when Ma Xin showed a gentle smile on her face and said first, "It's just girls chatting casually about some trivial topics." After that, she waved her hand gently, signaling everyone to start eating.

For a moment, the atmosphere at the dinner table was awkward, so quiet that only the clinking of dishes and chopsticks could be heard. He Feng frowned slightly, looking at He Yuzhu, and said half-jokingly, half-seriously, "Zhuzi, I feel like your cooking skills aren't as authentic as they used to be."

Upon hearing this, He Yuzhu immediately put on a smile on his face and quickly responded: "Uncle, you are praising me too much. If you were a chef, your skills would definitely be impeccable. How would I eat? I guess you would take my job away!" After saying that, he winked playfully, trying to ease the slightly tense atmosphere.

Afterwards, everyone started chatting about some lighthearted and interesting topics. He Yuzhu was always smart and good at reading people's expressions. Seeing that everyone had almost finished eating, he seized the opportunity, smiled and winked at Qin Jingru, and the two stood up, said goodbye to He Feng and Ma Xin, and left.

After they left, He Feng turned his gaze to Ma Xin, his eyes full of concern. He gently picked up the kettle and poured a glass of water for Ma Xin. With a touch of apology, he said, "Ma Xin, I've been dealing with so many tough things these days that I've neglected to care for you. Are you getting used to working here?"

Ma Xin nodded slightly, a sincere smile on his face, and said softly, "I'm fine, don't worry about it. Although I didn't expect to encounter so many problems, I'm also grateful for your continued care."

He Feng and Ma Xin chatted for a moment longer, their words tinged with gentleness and concern. When the time was almost up, He Feng offered to walk Ma Xin home. Along the way, the dim light of the street lamps cast faint shadows on the two of them. In fact, given He Feng's usual style, he should have launched an internal investigation into Ma Xin. After all, in such a complex environment, caution is always a good idea. However, after much deliberation, he felt that the current situation was tense and that limited internal resources could not be wasted. After weighing the pros and cons, he ultimately decided to abandon the investigation into Ma Xin.

When He Feng returned home, as soon as he entered the door, He Yuzhu came up to him like a little tail, with a sly smile on his face, and jokingly said: "Uncle, this sister Ma Xin, will she be my aunt in the future?"

He Feng's relaxed expression suddenly turned serious when he heard this. He was still preoccupied with the fact that Ran Qiuye's murderer had not yet been found, so he had no time to think about these romantic matters. He glanced at He Yuzhu and said seriously, "We are just comrades, don't let your imagination run wild."

He Yuzhu wanted to ask a few more questions, but He Feng interrupted him and said seriously, "Zhuzi, the most important thing for you now is to take good care of Qin Jingru. Well, it's getting late, you should go back and rest early, I have some important things to take care of."

He Yuzhu knew that he had indeed said too much just now. Seeing his uncle so serious, he didn't dare to say anything more. He stuck out his tongue, turned around and went back obediently.

He Feng returned to his room and gently closed the door. He walked to the table, slowly sat down, and carefully took the piece of paper from the drawer. This piece of paper carried his hope of finding the internal traitor. He secretly thought that once Bai Yu's people arrived, he could conduct an orderly investigation. He didn't believe that with his own ability and the abilities of everyone else, he couldn't find this traitor who had been causing trouble and sabotaging plans. When the time came, he would definitely expose this traitor and never let him continue to stir up trouble within the organization.
