Jiangning County.
Past four in the morning, it was still pitch dark outside.
Several cars drove into the Jiangning County Criminal Police Unit, stopping in front of the office building.
Then Zhao Donglai and others stepped out of the cars one after another.
"Yang Su, first detain Wang Pingchuan. Bring the other two suspects to the interrogation room. Right, also let everyone know to gather in the meeting room immediately for a meeting."
"Got it, Captain Zhao!"
After making arrangements, Zhao Donglai quickly caught up with Zheng Changjun and the others, heading upstairs together.
The three of them had just arrived at the staircase corner when they ran into Yang Mei, who was yawning and hurriedly running down.
"Director Zheng, Director Wu..."
She stopped, hastily greeted Zheng Changjun and the others, but her eyes were fixated behind them.
Seeing no one else was following, she quickly asked, "Captain Zhao, where's Luo Fei?"
In her expectant gaze, there wasn't a trace of her former ice queen demeanor.
Looks like my niece has truly fallen for that kid Luo Fei.
Zhao Donglai felt amused at heart, "Luo Fei is still upstairs; you better go find him."
"Okay, I'll go down first then."
Yang Mei hurriedly ran down, while Zhao Donglai and the others headed straight for the meeting room.
"Luo Fei!"
Luo Fei, along with Zhang Fan, was just escorting Shu An Country out of the car and into the hall when he heard Yang Mei calling.
Looking up, he saw her quickly running toward him.
"Leader Zhang, I'll leave this to you."
"Go on, you can."
Luo Fei said to Zhang Fan, then pulled Yang Mei aside.
"Luo Fei, you're back so early. I thought you wouldn't be back until at least morning."
She was drowsy, initially thinking she'd misheard the sound of cars, but looking downstairs, she realized they really had returned.
"Director Zheng said to interrogate early so we can capture the remaining syndicate members in one sweep, so everyone was asked to return ASAP."
"No wonder. So you all haven't rested since last night?"
"I'm okay. On the road, Wang Yong and they took turns driving, so I managed to get some shut-eye."
"Car sleep is hardly rest. Hopefully, Director Zheng will let you rest a bit before getting back to work later."
Yang Mei said sympathetically.
They exchanged a few more words before Luo Fei said, "Captain Zhao just called for a meeting; we better head up."
"Alright."
Upstairs, Yang Mei went back to the tech office while Luo Fei quickly grabbed a pen and notebook from the third team office then dashed to the meeting room.
At the moment, apart from Zhao Donglai and Wucheng who hadn't arrived, everyone else was already present.
After pulling two all-nighters, most people were at their limit, sitting silently in the room with drained expressions.
Some were so tired they started nodding off like drowsy chickens.
It was only when Zheng Changjun and his group entered that everyone forced themselves to perk up.
Zheng Changjun cleared his throat, "I know everyone's tired, so I'll keep it brief."
"This trip to xz was very successful. The crime syndicate's main leaders, the Boss and Uncle, have been arrested. Due to your excellent performance, your county's criminal police will continue to handle this case."
"Be sure to interrogate these two quickly, dig out the other members, and strive to bring them all to justice soon!"
"Additionally, Captain Zhao, let me know immediately if there are any results from the interrogation."
"Understood."
"Alright, meeting adjourned."
Zheng Changjun made a short arrangement and immediately dismissed everyone.
He, too, was exhausted and only wanted to go home and sleep under the covers, not in the mood for unnecessary words.
After giving a few more instructions to Zhao Donglai, he quickly drove off.
Once he left, Wucheng also said, "Captain Zhao, keep me posted on any updates."
And then he made his exit as well.
"Captain Zhao, what should we do next?"
Once they were among themselves, Yang Su turned to Zhao Donglai and suggested, "Maybe we should let everyone rest a bit first? They're truly exhausted after all this."
This high-intensity work is unbearable even for the strongest bodies.
Luo Fei also immediately agreed, "Leader Yang is right. Since the main suspects are caught, we don't have to rush. Let everyone go home and rest, so they can be refreshed to work better."
Zhao Donglai was also tired, so hearing this suggestion he hesitated briefly, then said, "That sounds good."
"Notify everyone to go home and rest immediately, and reconvene at 2 in the afternoon!"
"Alright."
Zhao Donglai's arrangement delighted everyone, and with cheers, they all dashed out of sight.
Unlike the others, Luo Fei didn't rush off right away. He first went to the tech room to inform Yang Mei, then headed home alone.
Yang Mei offered to drive him, but he refused.
After all, his home wasn't too far, and at his speed, he could run home in just a few minutes.
Unable to persuade him otherwise, Yang Mei let him go.
At 4:53 AM, Luo Fei finally got home.
As he arrived, Wu Yan was just about to leave for work.
Seeing him come in, she was startled, "Weren't you on a business trip? Why did you come back now?"
"The job's done, so we rushed back overnight. Mom, I'm really tired. I want to go sleep now; I have to rush back to the unit this afternoon."
