What to do when your first love cries and asks for reconciliation?

"What are you congratulating me for? Don't listen to those people's nonsense. I'm not interested in these things, and I don't care."

Xu Qingsong waved his hand, and his seemingly Tai Chi-like words contained a very important point: he didn't seem to want to be the dean.

Based on Su Huai's understanding of him, he could indeed say these words.

But how much of it is true and how much of it is false is unknown.

There are very few people who don't love power and money. For academic professors like Xu Qingsong, even if they don't like money, they must attach great importance to reputation and status.

So...will Xu Qingsong be an exception?

Just as Su Huai was thinking, the elevator door slowly opened.

The two people's offices were in different directions. After saying goodbye, Su Huai walked towards his own office.

But he was called again after just a few steps. Xu Qingsong seemed to suddenly remember something important, and a look of annoyance appeared on his face.

"Look at my memory. Yesterday afternoon, the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Municipal Procuratorate..."

He paused for a few seconds before continuing, "Director Liu Jishu is looking for you. He heard you weren't here, so he said he'd come over this morning."

Su Huai nodded and said he understood, then turned around and continued walking towards the office.

Liu Jishu seems fair and selfless on the surface, but in fact he still wants to get promoted and is afraid of offending people.

However, such people should be described as smooth. They are not without faults, and they are not greedy. They just want political achievements and promotion.

Su Huai could fully understand this, and she also guessed a little about Liu Jishu's purpose of coming here.

As soon as I turned the corner, I saw Liu Jishu in casual clothes standing at the office door, looking a little anxious.

"Director Liu, it's so early in the morning. Are you planning to arrest me and take me to your Anti-Corruption Bureau for interrogation again?"

Su Huai was cold as ice without a smile, and his sharp eyes were extremely aggressive.

As she spoke, she took out her office keys from her bag.

Liu Jishu was startled by her sudden mockery and hurriedly bowed to admit his mistake, almost bowing out to apologize.

"How dare I? The day before yesterday, I was blind and the flood washed away the Dragon King Temple."

"I hope Dr. Su won't take it personally. I've reflected deeply on this."

Su Huai snorted coldly, and the door happened to open at this moment. She ignored Liu Jishu and walked straight in.

At the same time, he continued to sarcastically say, "Director Liu was so arrogant the day before yesterday that he bullied an ordinary civilian like me."

Ordinary civilians?

Who would believe someone who can make a direct phone call to the provincial procurator general and say he is an ordinary citizen?

Liu Jishu was secretly complaining in his heart, but even if he had ten times the courage, he would not dare to speak to Su Huai like he did the day before yesterday.

"It was indeed my fault for arresting people without evidence, and I received the punishment I deserved."

“I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused you.”

"What would you like to drink?" Su Huai opened the locker door and asked without paying any attention to what he said.

"Huh?" Liu Jishu thought he was hallucinating. Shouldn't Su Huai really hate him? Why did he even ask what he wanted to drink?

But the hands that had developed the habit were faster than the brain, and they immediately stepped forward to take the kettle from Su Huai's hand.

"I can do it myself. I don't want to bother you."

Su Huai was happy to have someone make tea for him, so he relaxed.

Liu Jishu was a man who could never keep quiet, and he even chatted with her while pouring water.

"Doctor Su is so young, why does he like to drink tea? Don't you young people like to drink milk tea?"

Su Huai sat on the sofa, crossed his legs, and smiled with an ambiguous smile: "Milk tea is also tea."

In fact, she doesn't like drinking tea either, but if you don't understand tea, you can't understand people.

In order to enter that circle, she forced herself to taste all the famous teas and wines, and knew their origins, habits, growth environment, and brewing techniques by heart.

"You said, come on, please."

People who work in the government are best at observing people's expressions. Seeing that Su Huai was not very interested in this topic, Liu Jishu quickly changed the subject.

He pushed the teacup in front of Su Huai, but there was only water in his own cup.

Su Huai naturally noticed it, but didn't care much.

She lowered her brows and looked at the cup of tea made by the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau. The fine Taiping Monkey King tea exuded a faint fragrance, and wisps of mist floated above the green rim of the cup.

The moment he raised his eyes, they were still as calm as water.

"Director Liu, tell me, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Seeing that she got straight to the point, Liu Jishu didn't bother to talk nonsense. He looked a bit nervous and hesitant, as if he had made up his mind.

He said: "Well, because of this incident, the bureau suspended me. I have already done some self-reflection..."

"Our work is about effectiveness. When this period is over and I go back, there will be basically nothing for me to do."

"So..." Liu Jishu kept rubbing his hands, and if you looked closely, you could see that his fingertips were trembling a little.

"So I want to ask you, can you please spare my life?"

Su Huai lowered her head and smiled. She picked up the cup of Taiping Houkui in front of her, but did not drink it. She just held it in her hand.

As time passed, the silence grew longer and longer, and the hope in Liu Jishu's heart became increasingly slim.

After a while, Su Huai finally spoke.

"Director Liu, any punishment your unit imposes on you has nothing to do with me, because I am not your leader, and those were not my instructions."

"Instead of looking for me, you should look for your leader."

Upon hearing this, Liu Jishu became anxious.

"Doctor Su, I understand the reason, but without you, I can't even see our leader."

"this......"

He didn't say anything else. We were all smart people and understood it immediately.

"Director Liu, I really want to ask you a question. Who asked you to arrest me?"

Liu Jishu froze in place, pondering for several seconds but unable to come up with a clear answer, and his words were just like Tai Chi.

Su Huai placed the teacup heavily on the table, and the impatience between his brows was about to overflow.

Liu Jishu was startled and shut his mouth tactfully.

"Director Liu, I'm not a patient person. If you want my help, you need some sincerity. What do you think?"

The room fell into silence, and several minutes passed with this thought.

As if he had exhausted all his strength, Liu Jishu said in a frustrated tone:

"It's Ji Lingao, Director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Provincial Procuratorate, and Ji Linhai, Director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of our Yongdong City Procuratorate. They specifically asked for you."

Ji Lingao, Ji Linhai...

Su Huai keenly grasped the key point and asked, "What is the relationship between the two of them?"

"Brothers, Ji Lingao is Ji Linhai's older brother."

One is a provincial bureau, the other is a municipal bureau, and the two brothers are working together to deal with themselves.

After a little thought, it quickly became clear that Ji Lingao was the key point.

Because he holds a higher rank, it's impossible for him to let his younger brother, who holds a lower rank, order his older brother around, right?

While Su Huai was thinking, Liu Jishu continued to speak.

"Before the operation began, Director Xiao Ji personally instructed me to take you to the Procuratorate's detention center no matter what."

"At the time, I hadn't found any concrete evidence, so I asked what to do without the necessary paperwork. Director Ji said this was a special case and told me to go first, and the paperwork would arrive later."

"But I have a second thought. I want you to go to the bank with me. We don't have any evidence. Wouldn't arresting you be a fabrication?"

Su Huai frowned. "So, you took me to the bank without Director Ji knowing. Does he want to arrest me and put me in your detention center?"

Liu Jishu nodded.

Things gradually became clear. This Ji Lingao was most likely a member of the Gu family...
