I'm not a genius detective

Chapter 74 The Reason for Xu Qinghe's Strange Behavior
Sun Yujie's mind was a bit of a mess.

The school beauty never accepted Han Ling's advances, so she moved on to someone even prettier. She's incredibly awesome.

He was planning to tell his classmates about it at the party: "If you don't want me, I'll find someone prettier and make you furious."

What's the school beauty doing here now? Doesn't she know about this?

“Um, Han Ling has a daughter…” Sun Yujie blurted out subconsciously.

Before he could finish speaking, a large hand reached out from behind, covered his mouth, and pulled him away.

"Han Ling went to the detention center! He won't be back until this afternoon! Come back another time!" Tong Feng called out as he left, then whispered to Sun Yujie, "Shut up! We can't let Lin Xiaohua know!"

Sun Yujie: "Waaaaah..."

Lin Rong looked puzzled. Seeing the two walking further and further away, she raised her voice: "Hey! Tong Feng! What do you mean? Did he just say there was a woman...?"

Tong Feng responded: "A young woman has come of age! He said the Municipal Bureau has a young woman who has come of age! He's praising you!"

Lin Rong: "Where's Han Ling up ahead?"

Tong Feng: "Han Ling said that a young woman in the Municipal Bureau has come of age! Han Ling is praising you!"

Colleagues watching: "..."

That's impressive, you really know how to make things up. Everyone knows what Sun Yujie was trying to say.

Han Ling became a celebrity as soon as she arrived at the branch office, and it was all because of a romantic entanglement. For a criminal police officer... that's not exactly good news.

Good fortune in love, bad fortune in love.

Bless yourself.

Lin Rong is a police officer, so she's not easily fooled, and Tong Feng and Sun Yujie's reactions were clearly problematic.

"Doesn't Han Ling have a daughter?"

"Woman what?"

"girlfriend?"

"The whole sentence should be... Doesn't Han Ling have a girlfriend?"

"So, that's why Tong Feng dragged Sun Yujie away?"

Lin Rong did some analysis, but couldn't be sure.

"See you later! See you later!" Tong Feng and Sun Yujie were almost out of sight.

Since Han Ling wasn't there, Lin Rong didn't linger and waved goodbye before leaving.

The police officers from the branch office, who had initially been just watching the spectacle, gradually dispersed to have lunch.

"Han Ling has a girlfriend?"

As Lin Rong opened the car door and got in, she was still thinking about this. He had been pursuing her for several years, and now he had a girlfriend so quickly? It didn't make sense.

However, Han Ling has indeed changed quite a bit since the police drill ended. Could it be that he was really provoked by himself?

Going back on a promise is perhaps a huge blow to a persistent and devoted man.

"I should apologize."

After sitting in the car in silence for a long time, Lin Rong started the car and drove back to the municipal bureau. She had come to the branch bureau right after get off work and hadn't eaten yet.

She had originally planned to treat Han Ling to a meal to express her gratitude, if possible.

We can only wait for the next opportunity.

Han Ling returned to the branch office at 1:30 and had lunch outside with Zhang Yandong.

On the way to the Criminal Investigation Brigade, Han Ling felt that the way her colleagues were looking at her was strange again, this time even more obvious than before.

What happened in just two or three hours?

As soon as they reached the second floor, Tong Feng dragged him away.

"Don't pull, don't pull, what's wrong?" Han Ling asked.

Tong Feng recounted how Lin Rong came to the branch office to see him, including how he promptly pulled Sun Yujie away, otherwise a "big problem" would have arisen.

"Hurry up and thank me!" Tong Feng said, trying to take credit.

Han Ling was silent for a moment before speaking: "Lin Rong probably came to express her gratitude to me. When the Wanglou Police Station was cooperating with the Economic Investigation Detachment to arrest the suspect, I happened to save Lin Rong, otherwise she would have been injured."

"Huh?" Tong Feng didn't know this. "It's that simple?"

Han Ling nodded: "It's that simple."

Tong Feng: "Didn't she offer herself to him?"

Han Ling was speechless: "You watch too many TV dramas, don't you?"

Upon learning that it had nothing to do with love, Tong Feng was disappointed and immediately lost interest; he had thought it was a love triangle.

All that effort to pull Sun Yujie away, stop Wang Zhiwang, and thwart the future showdown between the two kings was for nothing.

"It's pointless." Tong Feng shook his head and handed the item in his hand to the other person. "Here, this is for you."

Han Ling looked down and saw it was a Meizu phone: "What?"

Tong Feng: "It's a birthday present. You just arrived at the branch office, so it's both a birthday present and a welcome gift. We're practically family."

Throw your Nokia away now! Look around the world, smartphones are all the rage!

After hearing Tong Feng's words, Han Ling grabbed her phone and left.

"Hey?" Tong Feng caught up with him. "Aren't you going to say anything? This is the latest Meizu phone, the king of domestic phones! Han Baobao, you're not even going to say thank you?"

The words "Han Baobao" sent a chill down Han Ling's spine, raising goosebumps all over his body. He quickened his pace: "Get lost... stay away from me! I'm straight, if you dare to mess with me, I'll kill you."

Tong Feng quickly hugged Han Ling: "It's your birthday today, shall I treat you to dinner tonight? Or are you going to eat with Dr. Xu?"

Han Ling: "I don't want to go anywhere, I just want to go home."

Tong Feng didn't insist: "Fine."

……

Before leaving get off work, Han Ling received a text message from Xu Qinghe: Happy birthday, are you free tonight?
Han Ling wasn't surprised and replied: Yes, where should we eat?
Xu Qinghe: I'll give you the address after get off work.

Han Ling: Okay. Xu Qinghe still poses a danger, but based on her current behavior, she doesn't seem like a bad person. In that case, we can sit down and talk.

A good doctor can bring immeasurable comfort and a sense of security to the public.

Let alone the current world, even in the previous world, Han Ling would not easily lay a hand on a good doctor.

However, he was really curious as to why this girl was behaving in ways that were inconsistent with her intelligence, to the point that she could be classified as mentally ill.

night.

Han Ling arrived at a decent Western restaurant as promised and went into a private room.

Compared to the well-dressed Xu Qinghe, the casually dressed Han Ling seemed a bit unfashionable as the two ate and chatted.

"I brought you a cake from the branch office today. I hope it didn't cause you any trouble?" Xu Qinghe asked gracefully and skillfully, handling the knife and fork.

"It doesn't matter, I don't care." Han Ling smiled and looked up. "Want to know how I would rate your behavior?"

Xu Qinghe's eyes gleamed with anticipation: "How would you rate it?"

The next moment, Han Ling's voice turned cold, and a cheetah-like aggression appeared in his eyes: "You're pushing your luck. I'm doing humanitarian aid at the hospital, but what are you doing here at the branch office?"
Anyone with a sound mind wouldn't do something like that.

One second an angel, the next a devil.

Xu Qinghe fell silent.

After a long silence, a voice rang out: "I... don't want other girls in the workplace to pursue you. I'm sorry, I don't know... how to properly express my feelings. I've never been in a relationship before."

Han Ling: "Stop talking nonsense. You know very well that with the identity of the Riddler, I can't let my guard down around you, so please don't do anything pointless."

A pretty face holds no appeal for me.

After saying this, he leaned closer to Xu Qinghe, staring at her intently, and lowered his voice: "My patience is limited, so I advise you not to provoke me."

Hearing Han Ling's words, Xu Qinghe sighed, lost her appetite, and put down her knife and fork.

Seeing Xu Qinghe's predicament and struggle, Han Ling's eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "Xu Qinghe, you don't seem like an idiot, but when it comes to dealing with things related to me, you're just like an idiot."

Most other men would probably lower their IQ because of your good looks, but I won't, so let's be honest.

Xu Qinghe was quiet for a moment, then said, "I mean you no harm."

Han Ling: "Since there's no malice, then it's simple. You're a good doctor, and I have no malice towards you either. It's possible for us to become friends, provided that you explain your behavior clearly."

Since I already suspect your motives are impure, there's no point in continuing. What do you think?

Xu Qinghe looked up: "For example?"

Seeing that the other party seemed to be relenting, Han Ling said, "Let's talk about today's events first. On my birthday, you brought a cake to the branch office and announced to everyone that you were my girlfriend. Why was that?"

Don't even mention liking me. Even if you did, no normal person would do something like that. Don't you realize how annoying that is?

Xu Qinghe sighed: "I know it might be annoying, but someone told me that pretty girls have privileges and can be tolerated."

Han Ling was speechless: "Am I praising you or harming you? I've fooled you like this."

Xu Qinghe shook her head: "Someone who is very important to me. I wasn't lying just now. I really don't want other girls to pursue you. After knowing you for a few months last year, I decided to be your girlfriend."

Especially... after New Year's Eve.

You are very strong. In my opinion, you are very strong. You are intelligent and skilled. I admire strength.

Han Ling grew impatient: "Get to the point, focus on the key issues."

Xu Qinghe and Han Ling looked at each other: "If I can't be your girlfriend, I'll be single for the rest of my life if you get together with other girls."

Han Ling asked in surprise, "Why?"

Xu Qinghe: "I promised someone I would get to know you. If you don't like it, I'll stay in Qingchang as your older sister to help and take care of you. If you do like it, I'll stay by your side as your girlfriend."

Han Ling: "It's that simple?"

Xu Qinghe: "It's that simple."

Han Ling frowned: "Who is it? Is someone sick? What right do they have to restrict someone's life?"

Xu Qinghe: "My life is what she gave me, and she has the right to say that."

Han Ling remained silent and picked up the red wine on the table.

This explanation makes Xu Qinghe's idiotic behavior reasonable; there's another, even more idiotic person behind him.

"So, you came to Qingchang to work at the People's Hospital just for me?" Han Ling asked.

Xu Qinghe hesitated for a moment before replying, "Not entirely. I am originally from Qingchang, and... I have other things to do in Qingchang. You are also in Qingchang, so it won't interfere with anything."

Han Ling: "Can you tell me who sent you?"

Xu Qinghe did not answer.

"Is it inconvenient?" Han Ling wasn't expecting an answer. "Let me rephrase my question: Can I look it up?"

Xu Qinghe still didn't answer, but just as Han Ling wiped his hands and prepared to leave, she uttered a single word: "Yes."

Ok?
Han Ling raised an eyebrow, realizing something at that moment: I can't tell you, but if you find out for yourself, it has nothing to do with me.

What kind of person would be interested in an orphan?

The care Xie Xinghuai showed him at the Lenovo Welfare Home, and the coincidence of his joining the welfare home, led Han Ling to boldly suspect: Could I be the legendary prince who has been living among the common people?
My identity must not be revealed, or I will be killed.
Xu Qinghe is a specially trained elite bodyguard?

The more I think about it, the more outrageous it seems, like something out of a movie.

However, while the exaggeration may be a bit much, the core theory is still possible.

"It's a pleasure to meet you." Before he finished his steak, Han Ling stood up. "Thank you for your honesty today. I'll pretend I didn't hear anything. Focus on being a good doctor. Take control of your own life. Freedom is more important than anything else. You have your own future."

Xu Qinghe looked up: "But I really like you because you are completely different from other men. In terms of feelings, you are my future."

Han Ling almost cursed, "Can't you understand human language, you woman?"

"I..." Xu Qinghe said, feeling wronged. "Then...can we be friends?"

Han Ling: "We'll see. I'm leaving now. Don't deliberately hang around in front of me again."

Oh, by the way, thank you for the watch. I'll accept it as compensation for my emotional distress.
