The crackdown on organized crime began with the arrest of the mother-in-law.

At noon, the two went to a dumpling restaurant they used to frequent during their high school years.

Over the years, the alley behind my high school doesn't seem to have changed much.

The dumpling restaurant, with its unadorned storefront, is still run by the same owners.

"Two pounds of chives and eggs, and three pounds of pork and cabbage!"

Qin Chuan remembered that Lin Yueting's favorite food was the chive and egg dumplings from this restaurant.

Back then, my favorite food was pork and cabbage.

The hygiene conditions in the restaurant were so-so.

The renovation is still the same as it was a few years ago.

However, what remained unchanged was that many students were still sitting there.

"It seems... we're the only two who aren't students?"

This was at Lin Yueting's request; she said she wanted to reminisce about her high school days.

"It's okay. With your face, you'd look even more like a student than them if you wore a school uniform, just like back then."

They say a man's mouth is a liar's tongue.

Even if a woman knows it's a lie, she's still willing to listen.

Lin Yueting couldn't stop smiling.

"That's not how it is... We're all getting old..."

"That's called maturity."

"Your face is wrinkled."

"That's a kiss from time on your body."

"Grumpy."

"I couldn't help myself."

He barely ate any dumplings, but he made quite a few witty remarks.

Leaving the dumpling restaurant, Lin Yueting sat comfortably in the passenger seat: "Qin Chuan, these past few years... don't you feel like you're dreaming?"

dream?

Qin Chuan shook his head: "It's much more exaggerated than a dream. I've already died once."

Lin Yueting was taken aback, thinking that Qin Chuan was referring to the battle on the border.

Indeed, although Qin Chuan was incredibly powerful that time, he was ultimately injured.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he'd died once: "In the future, don't push yourself too hard, and do less dangerous things."

"Being a cop means going wherever there's danger, but don't worry, I'm tough, I won't die."

"By the way, what happened to your girlfriend in the end?"

"I don't have a girlfriend. She dumped me a long time ago. Later, a relative introduced me to a blind date, but when we met, I found out that the girl's mother was a human trafficker..."

"But you, you're not getting any younger, how's your boyfriend situation going?"

Lin Yueting narrowed her almond-shaped eyes slightly: "My boyfriend must be a great hero, the kind that stands tall and upright."

"Big sister, are you talking about Pangu?"

Still standing tall and upright?

"Tch, you don't understand."

Lin Yueting rolled her eyes at Qin Chuan, but then smiled and said, "But these days, heroes are indeed hard to find..."

"If things really don't work out in two years, and you still don't have a girlfriend, I might as well settle for you."

What does "make do" mean?

Qin Chuan objected: "I'm a first-class meritorious official! How could a deputy section chief not find a girlfriend?"

In fact, recently, the number of people introducing girlfriends to Qin Chuan could stretch from the Changning Town Police Station to Zhulin County.

Unfortunately, Qin Chuan's tastes and aesthetics have been spoiled by beauties like Lin Yueting and Shen Chuxia.

Ordinary girls wouldn't even catch his eye.

"You have the nerve to call yourself a deputy section chief? But being a first-class meritorious official is more believable, alright!"

Lin Yueting turned around: "This time, I'll be merciful and give you a chance to pursue me."

"cut!"

Qin Chuan waved his hand: "Forget it, with your family's background, even if I were a first-class meritorious official or a model hero, I probably wouldn't be worthy of your father's attention."

"Chasing you is just asking for trouble..."

"Ouch...why did you bite me?"

Qin Chuan looked at Lin Yueting, who had just left his arm.

"Hmph! You're talking nonsense. My dad isn't that kind of person."

"You don't even know... Humph!"

"Never mind, I'm not talking to you anymore, let's drive!"

Qin Chuan looked at Lin Yueting, who was pouting, and knew that she might be angry. He raised his arm and stretched it out in front of her: "Are you kidding me?"

"Okay, shall I give you another bite?"

Crunch!

"Lin Yueting, you really are a dog."

"What? Aren't you a dog too? Go ahead and bite me?"

Looking at Lin Yueting's flawless face, Qin Chuan gritted his teeth.

The office building of the Xing'an Municipal Party Committee.

Before they even reached the main gate, Lin Yueting made a phone call, and Qin Chuan's car drove smoothly into the municipal party committee compound and parked in front of the office building.

"Who wants to see me?"

"We'll find out when we get there, let's go!"

The two got out of the car, and a middle-aged man in a customer service uniform was already standing at the bottom of the steps.

"Attorney Lin, the Party Secretary is waiting for you in his office."

After speaking, the other person looked at Qin Chuan with some curiosity, but said nothing.

"Thank you for your hard work, Secretary Wang."

"Attorney Lin, you're too kind. Please come with me."

After speaking, the other person turned to the side and gestured with his left hand, indicating that the two of them should follow him.

The municipal party committee office building is different from the criminal investigation team in Qin Chuan. It's quiet here, unlike the criminal investigation team where they handle cases like it's a vegetable market.

The Xingan Municipal Party Committee Office is a five-story old-style building.

The three of them walked up to the third floor.

"Attorney Lin, the Party Secretary instructed that you can go straight in."

After saying that, the other person glanced at Qin Chuan again, his eyes filled with curiosity, and quickly left.

At this point, Qin Chuan had no idea who Lin Yueting wanted to take him to see.

But before he could ask a question, Lin Yueting had already taken his hand and pushed open the office door.

"Uncle Huang, I've come to see you!"
