After rushing back to Le City under the starlit sky, Tang Qin immediately led several members of the Special Investigation Bureau to the Municipal Public Security Department, transferring Jin Chunfeng to the Special Investigation Bureau.
Interrogation is not about human effort.
Therefore, after agreeing to gather at the Tang family villa the next day at noon to celebrate Han Lang's success, everyone returned to rest.
The following day,
Tang Family Villa.
Han Lang and the others arrived at the Tang residence early.
Tang Qin had not yet returned,
And the Tang family servants had not yet prepared the ingredients for the gathering.
However, this did not dampen the spirits of Han Lang and the others, who were in high spirits and full of energy, chatting and teasing each other.
Tang Geng was the most curious.
He couldn't figure out how Han Lang had managed to advance two ranks and master the art of cultivation in just about ten days.
"Talent, I think! These things are hard to explain. I just kept practicing and broke through, and I just kept practicing and learned it. If you insist on me explaining why, then I don't know how to say it!"
Regarding Tang Geng, Han Lang neither wanted to deceive him nor reveal all his secrets. Unsure how to answer, he could only offer this perfunctory response.
But at this moment, Tang Geng was like a possessed dragon, stubbornly pursuing the truth and replying.
"What's so difficult about saying it? Even if you're a monstrous genius with heaven-defying talent, you must have some feeling about cultivation, right? Let's talk about it, consider it as you sharing your experience with us! Don't you agree?"
"Cough, cough, cough..."
The question thrown by Tang Geng caused Ma Long, Han Kang, and even Tang Haoran to choke on their tea simultaneously.
Han Lang did not want to talk about his secrets, and how could they dare to overstep their bounds in front of the main person?
Therefore, Tang Haoran quickly changed the subject.
"Ahem! Well... I think this tea today is quite good, what do you all think?"
Han Kang quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes, indeed! It has a sweet aftertaste and a fragrant aroma, it's the kind I like!"
Ma Long also added, "Although I don't usually like drinking tea, this taste is really good! Uncle Tang, do you have more of this? I'd like to take some back for my Wang Fang to try. She really likes this kind of thing!"
"Yes, yes! After lunch, I'll have Old Liu pack some for all of you, alright?"
Han Kang and Ma Long nodded repeatedly.
Tang Geng was confused by their actions. He picked up his teacup with a skeptical look and took a sip, saying suspiciously.
"This seems no different from what I usually drink!"
He then put down his teacup and looked at them in surprise.
"What's wrong with all of you today? You're usually so enthusiastic when it comes to discussing cultivation. Why have you all changed today? Especially you, Ma Long! Could it be that you're hiding something from me?"
Ma Long, being singled out, didn't know what to say and stammered for a long time without uttering a word.
Seeing this, Tang Haoran quickly came to the rescue, "Tang Geng! It's not that Uncle is lecturing you. In the path of cultivation, everyone has their own understanding and their own opportunities. Brother Han has already explained it to you, why are you still dwelling on it? Aren't you being a bit too obsessed?"
Tang Geng pondered for a moment, seeming to have thought of something, and was about to speak when Old Liu walked over slowly and said respectfully.
"Boss, the banquet is ready. Why don't you and the guests take your seats first?"
Tang Haoran immediately stood up and was about to speak when Han Lang interrupted him.
"Hasn't Tang Qin returned yet? Why don't we wait a bit longer?"
Tang Haoran quickly waved his hand, "Hey, Brother Han! You are the guests, and she is not. Let's take our seats first and eat while we wait. Otherwise, the dishes will get cold and won't taste good!"
Unable to resist Tang Haoran's hospitality, Han Lang and the others had no choice but to be seated.
After pouring the wine and raising their glasses, Tang Haoran stood up and said happily.
"Our success in eradicating the criminal forces of Jin Chunfeng and the base of superhumans this time is all thanks to Brother Han for providing the clues and strategizing. Come! Let us raise our glasses together and toast Brother Han first!"
Everyone stood up. Han Lang also smiled and said politely.
"You're too kind! We're all family, everyone has contributed, let's celebrate together, celebrate together!"
After saying that, they clinked their glasses and drank them all in one go.
Just as everyone was about to be seated, Tang Qin walked in, looking travel-worn.
Seeing that everyone had already started drinking, she unceremoniously began to take off her coat and said.
"Ah! You've already started? Why didn't you wait for me?"
Tang Haoran gave her a look and scolded with a smile, "Why should we wait for you? You're just coming home, do you expect VIP treatment?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Qin was immediately displeased. As she took her seat and poured herself a drink, she rolled her eyes at Tang Haoran.
"Dad! What are you saying? Although my strength is not as high as some people's, in terms of position, I am their leader. It is reasonable for subordinates to wait for their leader at a gathering, right? Don't you agree, Mr. Xiao?"
After speaking, without waiting for Han Lang to prepare, she raised her wine glass and clinked it directly.
At the same time, she said to him with a radiant smile, "To the hero! I'm done!"
Han Lang also drank a glass, then refilled it, and said to Tang Haoran with a smile, "Brother Tang, Tang Qin is right! The higher the official rank, the more oppressive it is. Why don't we all toast him again to apologize? Otherwise, I'm afraid she'll make things difficult for us auxiliary police officers in the future!"
But Tang Haoran paid no attention to this and immediately replied, "Are you kidding me, Brother Han! I'm her father! I have to apologize to her?"
Han Lang was stunned, "Uh... I was careless! I forgot about that!"
"Haha..."
Everyone was amused and burst into laughter.
After a round of jokes, Tang Geng couldn't help but ask first.
"Tang Qin, did the interrogation last night yield any results? Did Jin Chunfeng confess anything?"
Tang Qin sighed helplessly, "He confessed! But it was almost the same as what Gou Feng and Gou Xingzhi said before. All the responsibility was pushed onto the so-called Dr. Sim. It's almost useless to us! I plan to keep him locked up for a while to wear down his patience, and also let my brothers rest a bit. I'll try some strong methods in a few days to see if I can dig out anything!"
Everyone nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
After a brief silence, Han Lang suddenly slapped his thigh, as if he had thought of something, and said.
"Oh, I almost forgot! When I defeated Liu Jian, he mentioned that he was sent by the Zhao family of Xingcheng to supervise Jin Chunfeng and Wang Shan. Could there be any connection between this matter and the Zhao family of Xingcheng?"
Hearing this, Tang Haoran, Tang Qin, and Tang Geng all trembled as if they had been electrocuted, and asked in unison.
"What did you say? The Zhao family?"
