Chapter 1162: Chapter 1161: Urging Chapter 1162: Chapter 1161: Urging Imperial City, police station–
At evening after school, Jiang Yang was picked up as usual and dropped off at the police station. Today, Jiuming Ying had to go out on fieldwork and didn’t have time to pick him up personally, so he arranged for someone from Team Nine to do it.

In this period, Jiang Yang had become familiar with everyone at the police station.

Even though he wasn’t talkative, he had won the affection of everyone, and he even helped them dig into many old cases during the time after school. This brought the truth of many cold cases to light, serving justice to the deceased.

From the moment he entered the lobby of the police station, the slight boy carrying a backpack won everyone’s affection.

“Jiang Yang, you’re here!”

“Here’s the fruit your sister bought for you, remember to eat it.”

“And here’s some candy, this is fruit candy.”

“This is a lunchbox sister brought from home, it has my mom’s homemade braised ribs; don’t go eating at the large cafeteria with Jiuming Ying tonight.”

Several young policewomen took especially good care of Jiang Yang.

Jiang Yang passively received a box filled with fruit and before he could steady it, another box of candy was stuffed into his hands–he ended up receiving a lot of gifts as he walked. By the time he stepped into Team Nine’s large office, even the veteran detectives were envious.

Since Jiang Yang arrived, Team Nine’s status within the police station had soared–whenever Jiang Yang was there, there would be an endless supply of fruit and snacks.

“Is Brother Ying back yet?” Jiang Yang asked with a cold expression as he placed the stuff in his arms onto his desk.

He now had his own desk at Team Nine.

“There was a gang fight involving weapons in the West District today. Team Leader Ying went to the scene. He should be on his way back,” someone responded.

“Oh!” Jiang Yang replied softly, his mood sinking slightly.

He sat at his desk, picked up the phone, and immediately dialed Lu Jin.

To reach his brother-in-law quickly, calling Lu Jin was the fastest way.

The phone was connected quickly, and Lu Jin’s surprised voice came through, “Who is this?”

“I’m Jiang Yang.”

“The boss’s little brother-in-law, huh!” Lu Jin laughed heartily on the other end of the line, warmly saying, “Little brother-in-law, are you looking for our boss? Hold on, I’ll get the boss to take the call.”

Jiang Yang’s eyebrows furrowed at the enthusiastic use of ‘little brother-in-law’.

Why are my sister’s people all so unreliable?

Soon, Huo Beijiang’s deep and magnetic voice came through the phone, slightly muffled as he seemed to be scolding Lu Jin.

“Damn it, Jiang Yang is my little brother-in-law, not yours–don’t you dare take advantage of me again, or I’ll beat you up.”

Lu Jin’s voice came faintly, “Boss… I wouldn’t dare take your advantage…”
“Brother-in-law!” Jiang Yang couldn’t bear to listen any longer and promptly interrupted. He felt if he kept listening he might just hang up.

“Ahem…” Huo Beijiang coughed uncomfortably and immediately switched to a more solemn and serious tone, “I’m here, go ahead.”

“Brother-in-law, when is my sister coming back? She’s been gone for too long,” Jiang Yang always told himself that his sister was doing important work and that he shouldn’t hurry her, as it could delay her.

But he had been patient for so long, and he couldn’t stand it anymore.

Huo Beijiang immediately sensed something was amiss in Jiang Yang’s tone. He narrowed his eyes slightly and ordered Lu Jin to turn the car around and head towards the city.

“She’ll be back the day after tomorrow; once the military training is over, she can come home every day.”

Nan Fei’s house was far from the military academy, and it was Wei Qin himself who had stepped in to help her get permission to be a day student, so she could come home whenever there were no classes. Just getting permission to be a day student was a rarity; other aspects were certainly stricter than a regular university.

Regular school activities and a variety of training and events organized by the military region were indispensable. You can’t come home when involved in such activities.
