Chapter 85 Welcome Party
After Hao Dayong's confession was submitted, the long tug-of-war between everyone finally came to an end.
The atmosphere in the office of the Major Crimes Unit 1 of the Criminal Investigation Brigade in City A was exceptionally high.
Not only because this family annihilation case, which has garnered widespread attention, has finally come to an end, but also because two new members have joined their team today.
One of them was a psychology expert personally invited by Director Ma.
Actually, they didn't really believe in this so-called psychology prodigy. In today's society, anyone with a high level of education is called a prodigy.
But how many of them are truly capable?
Just now, this pure and dazzling girl solved a long-standing case with just a few words, and they were completely won over.
Jiang Shiyue clapped his hands with a smile, attracting everyone's attention: "Come on, everyone, come over here for a moment!"
The team members dropped what they were doing and crowded around, laughing and joking.
Hu Xi and Bai Gu had met Zhou Liwan before, but they never expected that they would become colleagues.
Did their team stir up trouble in the circle of the wealthy?
The sons and daughters of wealthy families are all sent here.
Bai Gu looked at the captain and asked enthusiastically, "Captain, does this beautiful lady mean she'll be part of our team from now on?"
Jiang Shiyue glanced at her sideways, his icy voice ringing out in a sinister tone: "So what if it is? What do you want?"
Bai Gu's face immediately paled, and he hurriedly shook his head with an embarrassed laugh, "I didn't mean to do anything, I didn't..."
Hu Xi quickly tugged at him: "You've got some nerve. Didn't you see how reluctant they were to part the other day? You even dare to covet the boss's woman."
Louis Koo regretted his loose tongue: "I just had a loose tongue, I wasn't thinking anything."
"Alright." Jiang Shiyue adopted a serious and polite attitude, smiling as he looked at Zhou Liwan. "This is Zhou Liwan, a psychology expert specially invited by Director Ma to join our team. She will serve as our consultant and participate in some difficult cases."
Zhou Liwan smiled and nodded to everyone present. She was about to introduce Li Chui, but she didn't intend to say anything more.
After all, Li Chui was the one who would be involved in solving the case with them and risking their lives together in the future.
I'm just an advisor, so it's best not to take up too much of my time.
Jiang Shiyue also saw through Zhou Liwan's thoughts, and then began to introduce Li Chui, who was standing to the side: "This comrade is a retired army soldier - Li Chui. I can say that his physical fitness is far superior to most of the people in our team. He will be a capable assistant to our team in the future!"
Li Chui was praised in front of so many people for the first time, and he scratched his head a little embarrassedly. He smiled and said, "You can just call me Chui. I've always had a heart to punish evil and uphold justice since I was a child. It's an honor for me to join our Major Crimes Unit! I hope you will all take good care of me in the future."
The people below still applauded enthusiastically, but there was a hint of caution in their applause.
It was clearly not as enthusiastic as when Zhou Liwan was welcomed.
Li Chui's appearance played a large part in this, and it's not that people judge by appearances, but it's true that some people are a little scared.
"Alright, everyone, let's get back to work. Hao Dayong's case has been resolved, but the follow-up work is still ongoing. Please bear with us today. I'll treat you all to a nice dinner tonight, which will also serve as a welcome party for our two new colleagues."
Upon hearing that there would be dinner that night, everyone became as excited as if they hadn't eaten for days.
Cheers echoed as they poured all their enthusiasm into their work.
"Bai Gu, take Li Chui with you and find him a spot." Jiang Shiyue gestured for Li Chui to follow.
"Ok."
Once everyone had dispersed, Jiang Shiyue lowered his voice and said patiently, "Come on, I'll take you to see your office."
Zhou Liwan was surprised: "I actually have an office? Isn't that a bit inappropriate? It's only my first day here..."
Jiang Shiyue put his arm around the girl's shoulder and led her forward: "You were specially invited by Director Ma, so naturally you should be treated with the highest level of hospitality."
Zhou Liwan smiled, but still said somewhat shyly, "Shi Yue, I have something to do tonight, so I probably can't go to dinner with you guys. I'm sorry."
After leading Zhou Liwan into the office, Jiang Shiyue closed the door behind him: "What's the matter?"
Zhou Liwan stammered awkwardly for a long time, but in the end she couldn't come up with a coherent answer.
Jiang Shiyue sat on his desk, his long legs casually crossed, his eyes lazily fixed on Zhou Liwan: "You're going to meet the eldest young master of the Chen family, aren't you?"
Zhou Liwan nodded with an awkward smile.
He had mocked me before, which made me afraid to mention it again.
"What? You've already found someone new?" Jiang Shiyue smirked coldly, his eyes dangerously approaching Zhou Liwan step by step.
The other person was taken aback and retreated in a panic until their back slammed against the cold wall: "What do you mean?"
Jiang Shiyue stared at Zhou Liwan with amusement, then leaned down and whispered in her ear, "Have you forgotten? Back in Gouba Village, you said to yourself that you would marry me and that we would never be apart."
Zhou Liwan's cheeks flushed bright red, and she stammered, "Back then..."
Jiang Shiyue interrupted directly: "We've only been apart for a short time and you've already forgotten me, and you're even getting engaged to someone else. After all these years, I've seen through you; I've ultimately wasted my time."
Zhou Liwan pushed Jiang Shiyue away speechlessly: "Don't make jokes like that, or other people will misunderstand."
Jiang Shiyue dropped his earlier frivolous demeanor and sat down on the sofa: "As your older brother who went through a painful time with you, I'm just kindly reminding you that the Chen family is definitely not a good place to go."
Zhou Liwan had heard this sentence from countless people; everyone knew that the Chen family was definitely not a good place for a daughter to settle down.
But for his own benefit, the father still resolutely pushed himself into that pit of fire.
How could I not know?
After all, she had experienced it firsthand, and she understood the hardships better than anyone else.
"Don't worry, I'm not that stupid. But since Father wants to put me in the Chen family so that he can get through his difficulties, I, as a considerate and gentle daughter, will naturally not disappoint him. But in the end, I don't know which daughter will marry into the family. After all, you can't predict feelings."
Jiang Shiyue looked at the girl's sly expression and knew he didn't need to say anything more.
She just lowered her head and smiled faintly.
Zhou Liwan had no feelings for Chen Jinghuai, and she was quite happy about it.
However, she didn't seem to have any feelings for him either, only regarding him as an older brother with whom she shared memories.
That's it.
"Since you're going to keep your appointment, there's nothing I can do. We'll make up for the welcome ceremony later tonight."
Zhou Liwan felt a little guilty, after all, it was to welcome her. After thinking for a moment, she decided: "How about this, you take them out for a nice meal tonight, it's on me, as if I'm participating too."
Jiang Shiyue stood up and chuckled as he ruffled Zhou Liwan's hair: "Alright, don't think about it so much. Just go and keep your appointment."
