The Mightiest Little Peasant

Chapter 712: Semester Break

“You’ve done a great service, Comrade Zhao!”

The leaders laughed, though they looked at each other and knew what was going on.

It was obvious that Comrade Tang Hao wanted to give the credit to the police force and Comrade Zhao for cracking the case!

“Well...”

Zhao Qingxue was still in a daze.

“Don’t refuse the job, Comrade Zhao! Do your best, understand? This is a major case, and you’ll have to investigate the entire criminal network and their accomplices thoroughly.”

“Comrade Zhao, I also think highly of you!”

The sly old men laughed.

Zhao Qingxue seemed to have understood what they were talking about, and she did not refuse anymore.

Then, she became excited.

She would be the leader of the special task force! It was unprecedented that a twenty-four-year-old became a task force leader.

“Bring him back and interrogate him overnight. Hurry up and solve this case!” The police captain shouted.

Immediately, two policemen came up, handcuffed the plump man, and took him to the car.

“Thank you!”

Zhao Qingxue walked up to Tang Hao and said gratefully.

“You don’t have to thank me!” Tang Hao smiled and said, “I’ll go with you! I’m afraid that guy won’t fess up.”

“OK!”

Zhao Qingxue turned around and walked away together with Tang Hao.

With Tang Hao sitting in the interrogation room, the two people spilled everything they knew. The police also got a general understanding of the situation.

However, they did not act immediately.

The two people they arrested were only subordinates. The police could not act until they figured out the extent of the criminal network.

Before they knew it, the sun rose.

In an office, Tang Hao leaned against the couch. Zhao Qingxue was curled up beside him, covered with a jacket and sleeping soundly.

After the interrogation, she only fell asleep at about four o’clock.

The surroundings were quiet. At about seven o’clock, the provincial headquarters became livelier. A series of footsteps woke her up.

She slowly opened her eyes, pushed herself up, and looked at Tang Hao with groggy eyes.

“What time is it?”

She yawned, still feeling sleepy.

“It’s seven-fifteen!” Tang Hao looked at his watch.

“Oh,” she replied. Then, she sat on Tang Hao’s lap and buried her head in his neck.

“I’m so tired! I’ve been working overtime for the past few days, and I have to stay up last night again,” she muttered.

Then, she hugged him tighter and said coyly, “Don’t move! Let me hug you!”

As she said that, she closed her eyes as if she had fallen asleep again.

After a long time, she opened her eyes and looked up at Tang Hao. Suddenly, she pursed her lips and smiled.

“What are you laughing at?” Tang Hao was stunned.

“You look so... silly!” She said with a smile.

Tang Hao immediately burst into laughter.

She smiled and wrapped her arms around Tang Hao’s neck. “I might be tired, but it’s worth it when I get to see you again!” She muttered.

As she said that, she narrowed her sparkling eyes and slowly leaned over.

Her red lips moved, exhaling a fragrant breath.

She sensed that Tang Hao was fidgeting, and she muttered, “Don’t move! Let me kiss you. That way, I’ll have the strength to investigate the case.”

She slowly kissed him. It started gentle, but it gradually increased in intensity.

They were almost out of breath when their lips parted. Her face was pink and charming like a plum blossom.

She saw that Tang Hao was stunned and kissed his cheek again.

“Thank you for your kiss. I feel energetic again!” She said with a smile.

With that, she stood up, tidied up her clothes, opened the door, and walked out.

“Oh, so you’re in here, Lil Zhao! Hurry up, the meeting is starting!”

Someone shouted in the corridor.

“I’m coming!”

Zhao Qingxue responded and walked over.

Tang Hao sat for a while before standing up.

He was not needed there anymore. The police and the Agency would take care of the rest.

On the way home, he received a call from Qin Xiangyi.

“Lil Tang! Do you know? My brother is getting married! He’s finally getting married!” She was excited.

Tang Hao pretended that he had just heard the news. Qin Gang told him that he did not want his family to know about the car accident so that they would not be worried.

“Wow! That’s great!”

“Yeah! He has always been a carefree person. I hope he’ll settle down after he’s married!” Qin Xiangyi said.

“Has the date been set?”

“He said that it should be the sooner the better. Tentatively, it’ll be in early July. They’ll decide on a specific date after discussing with their parents.”

“That’s fast!”

“Yeah! My parents were so happy when they heard about it!” Qin Xiangyi said happily.

After chatting for a while, she ended the call.

In the afternoon, he received a call from Trendy Taoist Master. He went to Haotian Pictures to watch the first trailer of the movie.

Production of the sequel had wrapped up a while ago.

The movie was done in the same style, but the action scenes were even more intense and spectacular. It caused a sensation as soon as it was uploaded online. The number of views and comments increased crazily.

It became a trending topic that afternoon.

“Mao Mountain Taoist Master” had created a box office miracle. Naturally, many people were eager to watch the sequel.

They were not disappointed by the trailer. Other than a few negative comments from trolls, the rest were full of praise.

“Without a doubt, this’ll be the champion of summer blockbusters!”

“Haotian Pictures is the hope of domestic films!”

The film critics were also full of flattery.

As news of the sequel spread in the next few days, the Internet was caught up in another wave of Mao Mountain fever.

Meanwhile, good news came from the provincial headquarters. They received enough information to act after intense investigation. By coordinating with the police headquarters of other provinces, they launched a simultaneous operation and caught all the criminals at once.

The amount of seized drugs and firearms were countless.

After the news broke out, it occupied the headlines of the major media outlets and caused a sensation.

During that period, Tang Hao stayed in school for his exams.

One morning, he finished his last paper.

He was the last one to hand in his answer sheet.

Jiang Wanying took the answer sheet and looked at it. “Not bad!” She smiled and said.

“Of course!” Tang Hao said.

Jiang Wanying tidied up the answer sheets and looked at him. “Another semester has passed. That’s so fast!” She lamented.

As she said that, her gaze turned dim. “I’ll return to River Delta City in a few days, and I won’t see you again! I won’t be teaching your class next semester either.”

“That’s no big deal. We’re in the same university anyway!” Tang Hao said.

“That’s true! Oh right, you promised to come to River Delta City!”

“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely go!” Tang Hao said.

“That’s great!” Jiang Wanying held the stack of paper and smiled brightly. Seeing that there was no one outside, she suddenly leaned over, gave him a light kiss, and left.

Tang Hao wiped his face and walked out.

He planned to stay in Provincial City for a few more days. Yan’er had not finished her exams yet. When she did, Tang Hao would bring her back to Dragonrock Village.

When he reached the school gate, he saw Cao Fei and the others walking over from the dormitory with their suitcases.

“Bye, Brother Hao!” They shouted.

Tang Hao waved at them. He was about to catch the bus when his phone rang.
