  "What? The police have come looking for me?"

  Su Lin was also stunned by Lin Qingxue's words, why would there still be criminal police coming to find herself now?

  Is it for investigation and evidence collection because of yesterday's incident? Or is it that the theft of the high school entrance examination answers has been exposed?

  "It should be yesterday's thing! This high school exam paper, it just happened not long ago, and also, no one saw me taking it from Peng Shenda. Even if you want to find trouble, shouldn't you go find Peng Shenda and the others first?"

  After calming down, Su Lin saw Lin Qingxue's worried face and felt a little moved in her heart.

  "Teacher Lin, don't worry! The criminal police came to find me, it should be for some investigation and evidence collection. My one million won't have any problems, so you don't need to worry about me anymore. Where are they now? I'll go with you."

  Su Lin couldn't possibly confess everything to Lin Qingxue, but in order to reassure her and prevent her from worrying, Su Lin could only comfort her like this.

  "Hmm! Su Lin, there are two detectives waiting for you in the Dean's office. One of them seems to be the captain of the detective team. I still have class, so I won't go with you. You... be careful."

  Lin Qingxue's concerned gaze seemed unlike one looking at their own student, her eyes appearing as if gazing at her own lover.

  "Teacher Lin, I'm going..."

  Su Lin smiled brightly, then turned around and headed towards the teaching office. However, after taking only two steps, she turned back around and said to Lin Qingxue with great sincerity, "Teacher Lin, thank you. You're really beautiful today!"

  Before Lin Qingxue could react, Su Lin had already run away with a puff of smoke, leaving Lin Qingxue alone in the original place, with a faintly happy and satisfied smile spreading unknowingly on her face.

  "Head of the criminal police team? Even Head Yan Longyong of the criminal police team has come, it can't be that serious! I haven't committed any crimes either! It's just to make a record of what happened yesterday, right?"

  All the way to the office of the teaching department, Su Lin felt that there was nothing serious, but she still had some worries in her heart.

  At this time, in the teaching office, the most proud one was Dean Li Jianhua. He originally had a grudge against Su Lin, and last time he almost gave Su Lin a major demerit, but it didn't work out. Moreover, Su Lin made a big splash with his speech under the national flag a few days ago.

  With tomorrow's college entrance exam just around the corner, Su Lin is no longer under his jurisdiction, and he doesn't even have the power to trip him up anymore, leaving a bitter taste in his heart.

  However, just after noon today, Li Jianhua did not expect that a police car drove into the campus of Jian'an Middle School. The head of the criminal police team, Yan Longyong, actually brought people to the teaching office to find himself, and specifically asked for Su Lin by name.

  The police came to the door, can there be good news?

  Li Jianhua was secretly delighted, it seemed that this time Su Lin must have done something wrong outside, otherwise the police would not come to the school.

  Such things, Li Jianhua, who had been a teaching director for five or six years, had not encountered many. However, most of the previous students were either caught by the police in internet cafes or did some petty theft, at most one or two public security police officers came to school to communicate.

  This time, it was actually the Public Security Bureau's Criminal Investigation Division, and the head of the criminal police team, Yan Longyong, personally brought people over. This is different, this is usually when a criminal case is involved, the criminal police will come out.

  "Haha! It looks like this time, Su Lin that little scoundrel has done something really serious. Whatever it is, without saying anything else, he's been taken to the police station for detention. Tomorrow's college entrance exam, at least, he won't be able to take..."

  Li Jianhua politely made tea for the two detectives in his office, smiling and asking: "Ah... Captain Yan, may I ask, what exactly did our schoolmate Su Lin do?"

  "Sorry! Director Li, this is a secret within our bureau and we can't reveal it to you for the time being. You just need to cooperate with us and get Su Lin here to the office as soon as possible."

  Yan Longyong has always had a cold expression, a matter-of-fact attitude, which made Li Jianhua feel embarrassed to ask more questions, and could only respond in coordination: "The police's work, our school will naturally cooperate fully. I just called Su Lin's class teacher Lin Qingxue to inform him, and I believe Su Lin will arrive at the teaching office soon."

  Li Jianhua had just finished speaking when Su Lin was already at the door of the instructor's office, shouting a report. Li Jianhua let him in.

  "Captain Yan? You... what do you want with me?"

  Su Lin came in and completely ignored the existence of Dean Li Jianhua, directly asking Captain Yan Longyong of the criminal police team.

  "Hmm! Su Lin, we have some important matters here that we'd like to discuss with you."

  Yan Longyong nodded and then turned his head to look at the instructor Li Jianhua, saying, "Sorry, Director Li, please step aside for a moment."

  "What am I avoiding?"

  This is Li Jianhua's territory, and the director of education has to avoid it in the education department? But this involves some secrets of the police station, and even the head of the criminal police team, Yan Longyong, had to speak out, he had no choice but to avoid it, and could only walk out of his office with a sullen face.

  "Little Zhang, go and lock the door, guard it at the entrance. Without my permission, no one is allowed to approach."

  Yan Longyong instructed the young detective who accompanied him with a serious face, and after making sure that no one else could eavesdrop on their conversation, he said to Su Lin with a solemn expression: "Su Lin, you were supposed to take your college entrance exam tomorrow. Our police department shouldn't be bothering you at this time, affecting your performance. But the situation is extremely urgent now, and we must get your help. So, I apologize on behalf of our police department first."

  "Captain Yan, what are you talking about? Cooperating with the police is a duty and responsibility that every citizen should fulfill. If there's anything I need to do, Captain Yan, don't be polite with me. I will fully cooperate."

  When Su Lin heard Yan Longyong's words, he put his heart at ease. Since Yan Longyong would say so, it was definitely not to find trouble for himself. However, on the other hand, through Yan Longyong's expression, Su Lin knew that perhaps yesterday's Dragon and Tiger Gang matter had not progressed as smoothly as expected.

  "Alright! Su Lin, with you like this, I can rest assured. You also know what happened yesterday, the Dragon and Tiger Gang had an internal armed conflict, our police arrived at the scene in time. Fortunately, with your help, we saved one of our undercover police officers, Han XiaoXiao, who was infiltrating the gang. We also discovered the gang's underground base and caught most of their key members, all thanks to your credit! Su Lin, our police department has already requested the Provincial Public Security Department to award you the 'See Justice and Act Bravely' medal, which can even give you bonus points for the college entrance exam!"

  To get Su Lin's help, he first gave Su Lin a sweet head, Yan Longyong still knew this, but he saw that Su Lin did not show too much joy, and continued to say, "Through our undercover police investigation, we understand that the Dragon and Tiger Gang has secretly colluded with many officials in Jian'an City. They have done many evil things by bribing these officials. And now, we are not only going to thoroughly eradicate this black force from Jian'an City, but also eliminate all the moles of the people's government..."

  "This is great! Captain Yan, I absolutely support what you're doing. Those corrupt officials who exploit and oppress the common people must be brought to justice. However, if it's about this matter, as a high school student, how can I possibly help?"

  Su Lin, under the influence of his father, has always been resentful of evil and full of a sense of justice. When he was young, Su Lin even fantasized about becoming a superhero like Superman, specializing in fighting villains!

  "Sulin, you know? The help you can provide is great."

  Yan Longyong said excitedly, "Last night, the night before last, when you and Han Xiaoxiao were at the Dragon Tiger Gang's underground base... did you get your hands on the Dragon Tiger Gang's ledger? That ledger records all the bribery and corruption between the Dragon Tiger Gang and those officials, with specific dates and amounts, as well as other important accounts of the gang. As long as we get our hands on that ledger, it's conclusive evidence, and we can submit it to court to prosecute those corrupt officials. Su Lin, do you know what this means? This is a massive case! It involves many officials and has far-reaching implications, so we must be extremely cautious..."

  "I know. Captain Yan, I've seen that ledger, the officials and amounts listed in it are shocking. If thoroughly investigated, probably a third of the officials in Jian'an City would be implicated."

  Su Lin nodded and agreed, "Then what do you want me to do?"

  "Su Lin, what we want you to do now is to hand over the account book to us, the police." Yan Longyong said solemnly, not allowing him to be nervous or informal. This was the biggest case he had encountered in his more than ten years as a criminal police officer, involving such a wide range of people. If it were really exposed, it would shake the whole country.

  "You want me to hand over the account book? What does that mean? Are you saying that the account book is not on your side, the police?"

  Su Lin was taken aback, and only then did he understand that Yan Longyong had come to find him because of the account book! However, Su Lin felt that such an important piece of evidence should have already been taken away by the police after he left the underground base.

  "The account book is not in our hands. Su Lin, you saved Han Xixi. The two of you fainted soon after leaving the underground base. You were fine, so I sent you home directly. Han Xixi lost too much blood and was rescued in the hospital for almost two days before waking up at noon today. We only knew about the account book after she woke up. But there's no account book on her body, so we can't think of any other possibility except that it's with you. That's why I rushed to your school to find you, and I'm also afraid of leaking the news, as this involves too many people. If those officials involved in the case knew the account book was in your hands, you'd be in danger."

  "But there's no account book on me? Yesterday morning when I woke up, I was already in my bed at home, and there was no account book on me?"

  Su Lin thought for a moment and indeed didn't know where the account book had gone. Could it be that the account book was really lost?
