half thorns, half joy

In the next few days, Zhao Suizhi and Tang Xuan entered into a cold war.

Even if the two met face to face, they didn't speak to each other, and passed by with cold faces, each holding a sigh of relief.

Especially Tang Xuan, she didn't even leave the bedroom unless necessary, and spent most of the time alone in the bedroom, just to avoid seeing Zhao Suizhi.

While Xiao Zihan was dealing with the company's affairs, he also had to pay attention to the emotions of the two of them at home at all times, but the first and the second were really big, so tired that they didn't love each other.

Fortunately, there is still good news.

For example, in the case of the Wang brothers, with further investigations by the police station and the court, more evidence of bribery by the Wang brothers was uncovered, and several other officials were also implicated.

The news media and local newspapers also reported that the Wang brothers were arrested for accepting bribes. This case is considered a certainty and there is no suspense.

Things have developed to this point, even if some people want to win the Wang brothers, it is impossible.

Officer Liu was equally happy with this result.

He was overjoyed and asked Xiao Zihan to meet again.

This time, it was a teahouse.

Xiao Zihan drove to the appointment by himself. After entering the teahouse, he reported his name. The waiter led the way, and finally stopped in front of a private room named Dongmei.

"Sir, please."

Xiao Zihan walked in, and took a rough look at the decoration of the teahouse. Although it was not high-end, it could be called elegant.

The space in the private room is not too big. There is a tea table and four futons near the window. Officer Liu is sitting on one of the futons, playing with the teacup in front of him.

Hearing the movement, Officer Liu looked up, "You're here."

"Yeah." Xiao Zihan walked over and sat down opposite Police Officer Liu. He looked at Officer Liu's carefree sitting posture and laughed out loud, "Why don't you be afraid and avoid suspicion today? How dare you ask me to come to such a small room where no one sees you?" We met."

Police officer Liu also laughed, and the reason he said was very solid, "It's too hot outside, there is an air conditioner inside, so cool down."

"Really."

"That's not it." Police Officer Liu poured a cup of tea for Xiao Zihan, and pushed it in front of Xiao Zihan, "We do need to avoid suspicion in this profession, but it's impossible that we can't even make friends. I have a clear conscience, what are I afraid of."

Xiao Zihan smiled slightly, picked up the teacup and blew on it, without saying anything more.

It seems that the successful resolution of the case of the Wang brothers has had a great impact on Police Officer Liu. When this man saw him last time, he seemed to want to draw a line with him.

As if he could see what Xiao Zihan was thinking, Police Officer Liu said again: "The more tricky people are, the more they hide from you to see, you have visited me in the hospital so many times, if there is something really going on, why not?" It might be so blatant."

"Why, are these few words of yours because of the emotion from the case of the Wang brothers?" Police officer Liu is a rough man after all, and he doesn't know how to make tea, so Xiao Zihan put it down after taking a sip.

He changed to a more comfortable sitting position, smiled and continued: "I heard that President Lin also went in."

Hearing the words President Lin, Officer Liu's face showed faint anger, which was mixed with a little heartache.

"I really didn't expect him to be such a good person. I haven't seen him interacting with the Wang brothers before, but he would get mixed up with each other, and he is still working as a mistress. I really misjudged the person!"

As Police Officer Liu said, he slapped his thighs angrily.

President Lin and Police Officer Liu were college classmates. After graduating from college, the two entered different industries, but even so, they still kept in touch.

Unlike Police Officer Liu, this President Lin was promoted to President ten years ago and became the top leader.At that time, Officer Liu was also happy for him from the bottom of his heart.

However, what Police Officer Liu didn't know was that the reason why President Lin was promoted so quickly was not because of his good ability, but because he participated in some unknown transactions and broadened his contacts. go up.

During this period, President Lin hinted at Police Officer Liu intentionally or unintentionally, but it is a pity that Police Officer Liu was upright and had a low EQ, so he did not understand President Lin's hints.

So this President Lin also knew that he was not on the same side as Police Officer Liu, so he didn't talk much about himself to him.

"It's because you are too focused on the case. If you attend more parties or something, you can still hear some gossip." Xiao Zihan said.

Police Officer Liu frowned, "The case in the bureau is so high that I don't have time to meet with them. Besides, their gathering is to drink and sing. I don't like that kind of noisy place, I don't like to go."

Xiao Zihan shrugged, saying that it's no wonder you don't know.

"Sometimes I really don't understand. Is it so difficult to live a good life? We are policemen, and our lives are in danger. We are all working hard to do our jobs well. They have such a good future, so they have to be greedy. Crooked road, is it worth it?"

"Yesterday I went to see him in the prison. He cried so badly. He said that he regretted it. He shouldn't take it for the first time. After taking it for the first time, he wanted to take it for the second time. He couldn't bear it at all." Stop. Just listening, I was so angry that I wanted to beat him up."

"I was supposed to retire in a few years, but now that I'm in prison, I've lost everything. Why do you think it's necessary?"

Xiao Zihan suppressed the smile on his face watching the drama, and said seriously: "Love for money and lust is a human instinct. Not many people have the self-control to restrain it, especially when these temptations are right in front of them and they are easily available."

"But, didn't they think about the price? If they were caught, they would lose everything, even their reputation would be ruined."

"That's why people say that wealth and wealth come from risks. How did this phrase come about? They must have known the consequences before committing such a crime. It's just that they were lucky. If they don't get caught, Isn't that all right?"

Officer Liu sighed again and again, picked up the teacup and drank the hot tea in one gulp, "Anyway, I don't understand."

Xiao Zihan smiled faintly, "If you can understand, then you are not you."

Except for Cai Jinyu, Xiao Zihan doesn't have many friends. One is because he has a cold personality and doesn't like to make friends. The other is that he is in a high position and there are too many people who want to make friends with him. Most of these people have too many distracting thoughts. dislike.

But now, he felt that he could make Officer Liu a friend.

Although this is a bit stubborn, people with pure moral character are rare in today's impetuous money-oriented society.

Seeing that Officer Liu was still depressed, Xiao Zihan comforted Officer Liu, "Okay, don't be so angry about your unworthy life, and when you recover from your injuries, I'll buy you a drink."

"Hey!"

……

After chatting with Officer Liu, Xiao Zihan drove home.

On the way home, he took another detour to the cake shop to buy a cake for Tang Xuan.

Although Tang Xuan has been unhappy these days, she was quite happy when eating the cake.Making Tang Xuan happier would make Xiao Zihan feel better.

After buying the cake and returning home, Xiao Zihan found out that Cai Lin was here.

Cai Lin and Zhao Suizhi sat chatting in the living room on the first floor, their faces looked a bit ugly.

Xiao Zihan secretly thought that something was wrong, carrying the cake without even having time to change his shoes, he strode over and asked Cai Lin, "Why are you here, where is Xiaoxuan?"

"...in the bedroom upstairs." Cai Lin stood up with a bitter face, and apologized to Xiao Zihan, "I'm sorry, Brother Zihan, I came here to explain the truth to my sister, who knows, it seems to have said too much , made her even more unhappy."

After hearing this, Xiao Zihan frowned, "What fact?"

Cai Lin pursed her lips, seemingly a little confused.

At this time, Zhao Suizhi suddenly said, "What facts can there be? That Huang Tingting has already paid a lot of money to be someone's mistress."

"What?" Xiao Zihan was surprised.

"Brother Zihan, this is true, absolutely true." Cai Lin twisted her fingers uneasily, "I have already asked Lang Yue to confirm that the man who took care of Huang Tingting is the father of Lang Yue's friend, you can go to this matter." Ask, you should already know."

Xiao Zihan still couldn't believe it, "But, Huang Tingting moved out of our house, it's only been a few days, how could it be so fast..."

Cai Lin pouted, "I heard that this was introduced by the 'General'."

Xiao Zihan fell silent.
