Lu Tingyun was on duty this year and could not go home even on New Year's Eve. Since he could not go back, Chu Yuran had no choice but to bring Xiao Luya to the unit to find him.

"Dad is so hard-working. All the other uncles and aunts have gone home for the New Year, but Dad is still sticking to his post."

Hearing what Xiao Luya said, Lu Tingyun patted her head lovingly and said, "It's not hard for me, but it's hard for my wife and daughter to work overtime with me here."

"As long as our family is together, it doesn't matter where we celebrate the New Year. It's a good year, right, Xiaoluya?"

"Yes, yes, yes, mom is absolutely right." Xiao Luya said, "I can't go back to South City for the New Year this year. Grandpa and grandma can only give me their red envelopes via mobile phone. What about you two? Where are the New Year's red envelopes you gave me?"

"You little money-grubber, are you obsessed with money?"

"You all have to give your children New Year's money. You should take care of the children during the New Year."

"Here, of course, the New Year's red envelope has been prepared for my little Luya." Lu Tingyun took out the big red envelope and handed it to little Luya, "This is from your parents. I wish you happiness every day in the new year, healthy growth, and good study."

"Thank you, Mom and Dad!" Xiao Luya quickly took the red envelope, sat on the sofa, opened it, and then counted the money beautifully. Seeing Xiao Luya like this, Chu Yuran seemed to see her own childhood. She herself was a little money-grubber.

"Let her count slowly." Chu Yuran took Lu Tingyun's arm, then took out his phone to show him, "I'm not at home this year, so you don't have to cook the New Year's Eve dinner. Fortunately, I have prepared in advance and booked a chef's New Year's Eve dinner in advance. The menu has been sent to me. Tingyun, take a look. After you order, I will tell him to send it to us in a while, and we will have the New Year's Eve dinner here."

"You should ask Xiao Luya about this and see what she likes to eat."

"Well, then respect our child." Chu Yuran called Xiao Luya, "Xiao Luya, stop counting the money and come over to see what you want to eat. Order quickly and have them deliver it. Don't delay our New Year's Eve dinner."

"Okay, Mom." Xiao Luya carefully put away the money in the red envelope, then ran over to look at the menu on Chu Yuran's mobile phone.

At this time, Lu Tingyun's phone rang. It was someone from the investigation team calling. After hearing it, Lu Tingyun responded: "I know."

Seeing him answering a work call at this time, Chu Yuran suddenly had a bad feeling: "You still have work during the Chinese New Year?"

"It is indeed a small task." Lu Tingyun looked at the time and said, "Xiaobai, I'm going to go out for a while. I'll be back when the New Year's Eve dinner is served."

"Aren't you on duty at work? Are you still out on the field? This is a bit too inhumane."

"I won't go far, and I will make sure that the New Year's Eve dinner is delivered to me as soon as I arrive, so that I won't delay our family from having the New Year's Eve dinner."

Chu Yu Ran pouted reluctantly, but he did have to go out for work, and she couldn't just stop him from going.

"Okay then." Chu Yuran took the coat hanging on the hanger and handed it to him. After he put it on, he straightened his collar and tied a scarf around him. "It won't delay your work, but today is Chinese New Year after all, and we all want to be together. You must be back for the New Year's Eve dinner."

"Don't worry, I will." Lu Tingyun kissed her on the forehead and reminded Xiao Luya, "Xiao Luya, wait here with your mother. There is a baby in your belly, you must take good care of her."

"I know dad."

Lu Tingyun walked out. In fact, he could have completely refused Fang Yanwei's request to see him, but he still went. He wanted to hear what Fang Yanwei wanted to see him for.

"I knew you would come, you would definitely come!"

Fang Yanwei was very happy to see Lu Tingyun coming.

"Thank you for your hard work these past few days." Lu Tingyun said politely to the investigation team, "Today is Chinese New Year, so let's stop here for now. I'll take him back after I finish talking to him and we'll continue the trial after the Chinese New Year."

After all, it was New Year's Eve, and everyone wanted to finish their work quickly and go home for a reunion dinner. Originally, the investigation into Fang Yanwei could have been declared over after he signed a confession of guilt, but he ended up being very angry. Lu Tingyun said that they would stop here for the day, and they were naturally happy.

"Okay, thank you, Deputy Director Lu."

"It's not hard." Lu Tingyun sent the investigation team out, "Everyone, take care. Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year."

After a few pleasantries and goodbyes, Lu Tingyun returned to the interrogation room. Now there were only two of them in the room.

"You want to see me, what do you want to tell me?" Lu Tingyun asked.

Before Lu Tingyun came, Fang Yanwei was indeed very excited and had a lot to say, but when he suddenly saw him, he was speechless for a moment.

I find it really funny because the last time they met at work was in the office building, and now he is still the deputy director, but he has become a prisoner.

"It's so ironic to meet at this time and in this place!"

"You also understand irony? Who caused this situation?" Lu Tingyun felt so angry when he thought about it, "Fang Yanwei, I reminded you when I went to the countryside to help the poor that you are the son-in-law of Director Zhao. If you make a mistake, it's not just your fault. You will implicate many people.

I reminded you again and again, and gave you the opportunity to surrender again and again, but you turned a deaf ear to all of it. You have always been lucky, thinking that there will be no evidence and that you will not be caught. You are treating everyone as fools!"

"Am I treating everyone as fools?" After hearing this, he laughed at himself, "You are all big shots, and I can't help but tremble in my heart when you say something. How dare I treat you as fools?

Lu Tingyun, you keep reminding me and giving me opportunities. I am grateful. I really am grateful. But if you were me, would you turn yourself in? Would you surrender yourself before the last moment?

I've already boarded that boat, and I know that once I admit it, I'm done. I have no way out. I can only grit my teeth and hold on to that fluke, hoping that I can get away with it.

But as the saying goes, the net of heaven is vast and wide, and nothing can escape it. I couldn't escape it, and I was still caught. I admit it. I deserved it. Is that what you mean?"

"You deserve it. What about those people you implicated? Other people who are not closely related to you will be fine after the investigation. What about Director Zhao? After the investigation is over, will he be treated as nothing happened like the others?

You used to be a soldier, and now you are a policeman. You can feel at ease doing things that betray your own people while wearing a police uniform? You have caused your father-in-law who treats you like his own son to be in trouble, and you don't feel guilty at all?"

Hearing Lu Tingyun's scolding, Fang Yanwei smiled with tears in his eyes, self-deprecatingly and feeling very uncomfortable. He laughed for a long time, then looked at Lu Tingyun with tears in his eyes and said slowly: "Yes, I used to be a soldier. Not only was I a soldier, I was also a martyr!

When I first joined the army, I was also very sincere. I was also determined to defend my country and was ready to die in the line of duty. Facts have proved that I did so. When I was on a mission abroad, I left my only chance of survival to Leng Qing.

I was determined to die at that time. I was not afraid of death and I did not think about living. If I had died at that time, I would have been a martyr praised by people. But fate played a trick on me and I did not die..."
