  The burden is heavy and the road is long!

  Su Wen arrived at Tang Long's house around twelve o'clock.

  "Auntie, I'm back again."

  "Hmm! What are you doing here?" Tang Xiaoyao poked her head out from the doorway and took a close look at Su Wen.

  "I've come to see your dad about something." Su Wen smiled slightly, "What's wrong, don't welcome me?"

  "Xiao Yao, won't you let go?" Yang Hui furrowed her brow, "This girl of yours is so disobedient. Su Wen is your brother, it's only natural that he comes to our house. Look at the tone you're using, as if you've met an enemy."

  Tang Xiaoyao stamped her foot: "Mom, you're also like this with him."

  Su Wen shook her head: "Auntie, I really came to find Uncle Tang on business, don't know if he's in?"

  "Your Uncle Tang is still at the office, I heard that someone from Da Fu Jewelry came to make trouble, he's dealing with it now and won't be back until this afternoon." Yang Hui thought for a moment, "You go in first! After we've eaten, I'll take you to the office."

  Su Wen heard Da Fu Jewelry Store and frowned: "Auntie, then I'll go to the municipal office now. Maybe Uncle's trouble can be solved by me."

  "Who?" Yang Hui was taken aback, "Do you know what's going on?"

  "It's probably about that bag of diamonds." Su Wen thought for a moment, "The bag of diamonds is now on me, as long as I return it to the people at Da Fu Jewelry Store, they shouldn't make any more trouble. Auntie, if it's convenient for you right now, can you take me to the municipal bureau first?"

  "Alright," said Yang Hui, "You wait for a moment, I'll go change my clothes."

  Soon, Yang Hui came out with a light load.

  Two people walked together, Yang Hui still couldn't help but be curious: "Su Wen, how did you find the diamond?"

  "It's a secret." Su Wen smiled mysteriously.

  "You keep secrets from your aunt, okay, I won't ask anymore." Yang Hui smiled wryly and focused on driving, but still asked a lot about Su Wen's situation at home, mentioning Su Wen's father several times.

  Twenty minutes later, the Municipal Public Security Bureau arrived.

  As soon as Yang Hui got out of the car, two guards standing at attention hastily saluted.

  Su Wen got off the car closely, which made the two guards reveal a hint of surprise. They knew the director's situation and should only have one daughter, but today they brought another young man, was he their son? Or their son-in-law?

  Inside the office.

  Tang Long looked at the several police officers in front of him: "What's going on? Isn't Zhou Datong from Da Fu Jewelry Store leaving yet?"

  "Director, Zhou Datong is a scoundrel. The branch he's in charge of was robbed of diamonds worth tens of millions this time, and now they urgently need to find someone to take the blame. Otherwise, it would be impossible to report back to headquarters. We have the responsibility to help retrieve lost items, but think about it, how can we find something that was thrown into the Yangzi River?" Zheng Fei sighed, he had graduated from police academy and joined the Jiangning Municipal Public Security Bureau five years ago, and now he was highly valued by Tang Long.

  "This Zhou Datong is really something, he even dares to be reckless in a public security bureau, what does he think this place is?"

  "Yeah, this guy is just asking for it."

  "That diamond was thrown into the Yangzi River, and it's basically impossible to find. We've already looked for the most professional salvage team, but they can't salvage it at all? The people from the salvage team also said that with such a rapid current, the salvage tools can't even touch the bottom of the river. If this thing could be salvaged, I'd eat shit on the spot." Zheng Fei made a bold statement.

  Tang Long also knew the difficulties of salvaging, so from the beginning he didn't hold out much hope.

  "You... you people's police, are useless." A fat man who looked like a barrel burst into the office.

  This is Zhou Datong himself.

  "Zhou Datong, what did you say?" Tang Long slapped the table and stood up. "You're quite bold, causing trouble at the Public Security Bureau and breaking into my office. Do you think I'm a vegetarian? I, Tang Long, have been in Jiangning for so many years, what scene haven't I seen? Don't think I'm easy to talk to, or that I'm easy to bully. The diamonds from your store, we found them by luck, if we didn't find them, you're out of luck. If you want to blame someone, blame the suspect."

  "You... " Zhou Datong's face turned red with rage, "You're a bureau chief and you dare to speak like this, completely disregarding us taxpayers. I'm going to report you to the mayor right now. Yes, I'll go, and then you'll be in trouble."

  "Idiot." Tang Long snorted, "The mayor will care about this broken matter? If you think Da Fu Jewelry's business in Jiangning is too good, then go!"

  "What do you mean?" Zhou Datong was startled.

  "Recently, the security situation has been quite chaotic. If your Da Fu Jewelry Store is harassed by someone, don't blame me for not warning you. We're short-handed here and it may take some time to rush over." Tang Long said with a sarcastic tone.

  "You, you're threatening me?"

  Zheng Fei and several others secretly laughed, they really didn't know that the director could be so sinister.

  "What's threatening you, that's the reality." Tang Long shook his head, "Zhou Datong, if nothing's wrong, I advise you to hurry back, we'll continue investigating this case, and if there are any new developments, we'll notify you."

  If it were someone else, they might have just found an excuse to back down.

  Ke Zhou Datong suddenly became furious: "No matter what you say, if you don't find the diamond for me, I'll die with you. I want to find the mayor, find the provincial governor, I want to expose you, I want to make you lose your reputation and your life. So many diamonds are lost, my whole life is over, you can't be better off either."

  Tang Long's eyes widened in shock: "If you want someone to accompany the deceased, you should go find that suspect."

  Zhou Different fundamentally did not stop, directly rolled onto the ground, shouting in his mouth: "I'm dead, the police don't care about people's lives..."

  Bang!

  The door is open.

  Su Wen and Yang Hui walked in.

  "Tang Shu, what's going on here?" Su Wen found it very amusing to see someone acting like a madman as soon as he entered the door. If it were a shrewish woman, that would be understandable, but surprisingly, it was a man, and this man was quite fat. Watching him rolling around on the ground, he looked just like a ball.

  "Zhou Datong of Da Fu Jewelry Store lost a diamond and the head office is holding him responsible, now he's framing our Public Security Bureau." Tang Long explained coldly.

  "It turns out that he came to cause trouble." Su Wen muttered to himself for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face. "Tang Shu, coincidentally I recently picked up a bag of diamonds, I wonder if it belongs to this Zhou Daball?"

  "Zhōu Dà Qiú, really quite vivid." Zheng Fēi couldn't help but smile: "What diamond, let me see if it's not Zhōu Dà... Zhōu Dà Qiú's."

  Su Wen took a look at Zheng Fei and threw it over directly.

  Tang Long suddenly spoke up: "What are you looking at? If it's true, would you really swallow your own feces?"

  Zheng Fei was taken aback, as if he had said it himself.

  Several people snickered, and Zhou Datong, who was already shouting from downstairs, said: "It's our jewelry store that lost it, it must be our jewelry store that lost it."

  Zheng Fei handed the diamond to Tang Long and said with a smile: "Just kidding, Director, take a look first."

  Tang Long poured the diamonds into his hand and then looked at Su Wen, feeling quite shocked in his heart.

  He was certain that the diamond was the one lost by Da Fu Jewelry. However, even the most professional salvage team in Jiangning City thought it was impossible to find the diamond, and Tang Long felt that his nephew was not simple, but rather had a great skill.

  "It must be, give it to me, give it to me quickly." Zhou Datong hastily stood up.

  "Don't panic." Su Wen suddenly spoke up, "Tang Shu, this diamond doesn't have a name on it, how can you be so sure it's from Da Fu Jewelry Store? I picked it up from the grass by the side of the road, did Da Fu Jewelry Store's diamonds fall into the grass by the side of the road?"

  Tang Long couldn't help but laugh inwardly and played along, "Indeed, the jewelry from Da Fu Jewelry Store was lost in Yangzi River, it's not necessarily this bag. Since that's the case, let's issue a notice first. If no one comes to claim it after a month, then maybe it really will belong to Da Fu Jewelry Store."

  "A month?" Zhou Datong was stunned.

  Yang Hui couldn't help but laugh: "I think this is okay, it follows the procedure."

  "Director, I'll go post the notice in a moment." Zheng Fei said.

  "That's settled then." Tang Long said directly, "Zhou Daball, you go back first. If no one comes to claim it after a month, we'll determine if it's your lost diamond later. This is in line with all procedures, do you have anything else to say?"

  Zhou Datong felt a bit dazed, but thinking that he could get the diamond in a month was better than really losing it. When leaving, he muttered to himself: "I'm Zhou Datong, not Zhou Dagong, you bunch of idiots, can't even recognize this character."
