Xiao Zi was sitting on the tree, with dancing fireworks in her pupils and beating joy in her eyes.

Zhou Hongming shouted: "Xiao Zi, I also want to sit on the tree."

"Then come up." Xiao Zi did not refuse.

Zhou Hongming really went up and sat on another branch. This tree was tall and strong enough to support the two of them.

The fireworks hadn't finished setting off yet, and the clusters of fireworks dyed the sky into daylight.

Xiao Zi also had fireworks sticks in her hand, which she lit. These fireworks sticks illuminated her face red.

The wind is very comfortable on summer nights, and the open fields are endless as far as the eye can see.

There are only two of them here, and no one will disturb them as long as they stay.

On such a beautiful night, Zhou Hongming didn't want to do anything else. He just wanted to stay with her and talk.

Xiao Zi had never treated him like this before.

She had always regarded him as a savage beast.

The wind blew Xiao Zi's hair, and her hair carried a light fragrance. The fragrance floated to Zhou Hongming's nose. He closed his eyes and enjoyed this rare peace and beauty.

No one wanted to come down from the tree.

The night is getting darker.

Zhou Hongming was afraid that she would catch cold, so he jumped down from the tree and opened his arms: "Xiao Zi, come down, I will pick you up."

Xiao Zi also knew it was getting late.

But she didn't jump down. Instead, she came down the tree trunk, touched the ground with her feet, and jumped to the ground.

She patted the dust on her hands and said, "It's very fun. I hope I can have such fun things every day in the future."

"Then I will try to find interesting things for you every day."

Zhou Hongming drove her back. He saw a bright light in Xiao Zi's eyes, and so did he. This day was a new beginning for him.

The stars are bright and the future is promising.

…

Beijing, police station.

It is the end of winter in the Northern Hemisphere, the weather is cold, and the buds on the treetops have not yet sprouted.

It rained early in the morning, and the drizzle fell between the sky and the earth, and a thin and hazy mist rose.

Meng Chen got out of the car holding an umbrella and strode towards the police station.

He gritted his teeth and stood in front of Zeng Chengliang: "It's been a year, a whole year!"

Zeng Chengliang raised his head from the document with a calm expression: "Mr. Meng, we have been investigating this year. All clues have been interrupted. You have to give us a little more time. We are also very anxious about this case."

"Isn't one year enough?!" Meng Chen couldn't hold back his anger. "She was taken away for a year, and her life or death was uncertain. Do you know how worried I am? She betrayed Zhou Hongming, and Zhou Hongming will attack her!"

"Mr. Meng, please believe us. We have not failed to do anything. We have been following this case."

"I want to see your latest tracking clues." Meng Chen's voice was cold, and his face was no longer as peaceful as before, it was full of coldness.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Meng. I'm sorry, but you can't interfere in the investigation."

"You are just perfunctory with me. Since you can't find any clues, why don't you allow me to interfere? Can you understand my feelings? You simply can't!" Meng Chen showed no grace at all and challenged Zeng Chengliang in the office.

"Mr. Meng, I understand your mood, but please calm down. I promise to inform you if there is any progress, okay?" Zeng Chengliang took a step back. He could understand Meng Chen, just like he could understand Jiang Ci.

I just felt sorry for two weak women, Jiang Shu and Xiao Zi.

He didn't want tragedy to happen either.
