Although Feng Jing had always been focused on his work previously, he had to admit that Yin Tao was important to him.
If not for the fact that something had almost happened to Yin Tao, Feng Jing would not have known how important Yin Tao was to him. He had settled some work matters at the police station and Feng Jing and Yin Hao had agreed to meet at a cafeteria near the police station.
When Yin Hao rushed to the cafeteria, he didn’t expect to see his sister. Feng Jing didn’t say on the phone that Yin Tao would come with him.
“Xiaotao, why are you here?” Yin Hao was very busy with work, and Yin Tao rarely came home, so the siblings usually contacted each other by phone.
“I’m here to frecload! Aren’t the two of you going to count me in for dinner?”
Yin Tao completely transformed into a little girl in front of Yin Hao. Because Yin Hao’s concern and care made Yin Tao truly feel the warmth of family, she naturally relaxed a lot in front of him.
Feng Jing had planned to tell Yin Hao that Yin Tao had encountered danger. After all, Yin Hao was Yin Tao’s biological brother.
However, when Yin Tao found out, she tried her best to stop him. Feng Jing knew that Yin Tao didn’t want her family to worry. After all, other than Yin Hao, none of her family members was supportive of her work at the police station. Feng Jing respected her thoughts.
“Of course I have to bring you along. Xiaotao, if you want to come out for a meal in the future, you can call me anytime.” Yin Hao sat beside Yin Tao and looked at Feng Jing opposite him. He asked, “Why do you suddenly want to treat me to a meal? Haven’t you been busy at the police station recently?” “I’m busy, but didn’t I promise you before?” Feng Jing thought of the main purpose of calling Yin Hao out and said directly, “I’m going back to the capital next week, for about a week. Xiaotao plans to go back with me.”
“What?” Yin Hao didn’t seem to have heard what Feng Jing said. He widened his eyes slightly and asked him, “Xiaotao wants to go home with you?”
Worried that Yin Hao would misunderstand, Yin Tao hurriedly explained, “Brother Feng’s Auntie invited me along. In any case, I still have annual leave that hasn’t been used. As long as there aren’t any new murders, I can apply to the police station to rest for ten days.”
Yin Hao raised his brows. It was obvious that he didn’t believe Yin Tao’s words. However, he didn’t have any intention of making things difficult for his sister. Instead, he looked at Feng Jing opposite the dining table and asked, “Isn’t your Auntie overseas all year round? How did she get to know Xiaotao?”
Feng Jing did not know if he should tell Yin Hao that Yin Tao was staying in his house. However, looking at his expression, Feng Jing decided not to tell the truth first.
“They met by chance. My Auntie returned to the country not long ago, but she hit it well with Xiaotao.”
Yin Hao couldn’t help but chuckle when he heard Feng Jing. However, perhaps it was because Yin Tao was present, Yin Hao didn’t say anything else.
Everyone had their own thoughts during the meal. Yin Tao also realized that the atmosphere was a little awkward. Yin Hao used to have a good relationship with Feng Jing, but today, the two of them spoke exceptionally little.
“I’m going to the washroom.” Yin Tao couldn’t stand the atmosphere and used the excuse of going to the washroom to ease the tension.
Seeing Yin Tao walk away, Yin Hao sighed lightly and asked Feng Jing, “Feng Jing, do you like Xiaotao?”
Feng Jing paused for a few seconds when he heard Yin Hao’s question. He nodded and replied, “Yes.”
“You’re quite direct.” Yin Hao did not expect Feng Jing to admit it so bluntly. His expression softened a little as he continued to ask, “Then why did you ask me out today? Are you kindly giving me a heads up before you take my sister away?”
“I’m not going to take your sister away. It was really my Auntie who invited Xiaotao back with me. I have no reason to lie to you.” Feng Jing didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
“Then what’s the meaning of this? You like my younger sister, but you didn’t confess to her. Instead, you came to tell me first?” Yin Hao could tell that Yin Tao and Feng Jing weren’t a couple now.
“I don’t plan to confess to her,” Feng Jing said.
“Feng Jing, what do you mean? You’re already so old. Are you still planning to woo my sister?” Yin Hao was calm initially, but he couldn’t control his temper after hearing Feng Jing’s answer.
“That’s not what I meant. Xiaotao is a very good girl. I don’t want her to be in danger because of me,” Feng Jing said.
“In danger?” Yin Hao asked in confusion, “Feng Jing, you’re just a detective, not a spy, right?”
“A detective’s job is also very dangerous. There are some things that you don’t know.” Feng Jing couldn’t be too direct. Feng Jing had offended many people in the course of his work. He didn’t want Yin Tao to be in any danger because of him..
