At 9:55 a. m., in the office of the Criminal Investigation Division's Director, Qin Ling, the atmosphere was strangely quiet.
Wu Lichang's report had been over for a while. Qin Ling was still expressionless as yesterday, and Chief Jiang was even more expressionless. Wu Lichang looked at this and then looked at that. His heart was beating nervously. He had already added a lot of words to Director Jiang's guidance and arrangements yesterday. His director should be satisfied, right? Although he didn't contact Director Jiang after meeting with Qin Chu yesterday, he should be able to say this today, right? As for the fact that he didn't report to Chief Jiang in advance, he just had to tell her that it was Qin Chu who asked first yesterday, and she probably wouldn't have any unnecessary thoughts. Besides, it was the truth. She did report it to Qin Chu when she met him in the hospital. Wu Lichang, who thought that he had found a good solution but was suppressed by the silence of the two of them, could not help but break the situation."Director Qin, this happened too suddenly yesterday. I didn't have time to report to Director Jiang before I met you at the hospital. That's about what happened.”Her words were very skillful. She pointed out the chance encounter in the hospital and left aside the fact that she took the initiative to talk to Qin Ling.
As he spoke, he stole a glance at Director Jiang. Yes, Wu Lichang was satisfied to find that Director Jiang's expression had indeed improved a lot after listening to him.
"Qin Chu, I didn't know about this. Yesterday afternoon, Zhen Ke from the bureau called me over to discuss something else, so I didn't have time for this. Why don't we go back first and study the details and the next countermeasure before reporting to you?”After clearing the biggest knot in his heart, Director Jiang also began to protect his subordinates.
"Yes, Old Jiang, this case is very important. I gave it to you because I liked your experience and caution."
Hmm? Qin Ling spoke very slowly. Director Jiang's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. According to what he knew, this young director was very capable despite his young age. He was usually a person of few words and few things. It was very rare to call Wu Lichang over for an emergency like today. Normally, no matter how big the matter was, the head of the Xing Investigation Bureau did not have the habit of looking for his subordinates directly. He would always directly look for their leaders. And that sentence just now,"cautious"? Could it be that Director Jiang had once again set his sights on Wu Lichang?
"Old Jiang, if there's anything, you should pay more attention to it. No matter how strong Captain Wu's ability is and how outstanding his performance is, you should pay more attention to him.”
Oh?
Captain Wu was delighted, but Division Chief Jiang was even more shocked.
"Captain Wu performed very well this time. Although Lu Yueyue is an intern, she has been studying this major in university for seven years. It's normal for her to perform well. On the other hand, the scouts in the team should be praised more to boost morale and not let everyone lose their morale. Old Jiang, if you have any problems in the future, you can ask Captain Wu to come if you don't have time.”
"Thank you, Qin Chu. We will definitely work harder in the future and try to solve the case as soon as possible!”He didn't expect Qin Ling, who had been silent for two days, to say this. He thought so highly of him. Not only did he praise him in front of Director Jiang, but he also gave him a chance to report to him directly. This, this, his future is bright!
Wu Lichang came out of Qin Ling's office in a daze. He knew that he couldn't be too proud, so he tried his best to suppress his excitement. He followed Director Jiang and his footsteps were much lighter. The gloomy mood that she had been worried about from last night until this morning disappeared in an instant.
"Li Chang ah." When they arrived in front of the car, Director Jiang turned around and spoke to Wu Li Chang for the first time today," You did well. Go back and hold a meeting. Gather everyone from that day. I want to hear it."
"Yes, Director, but that Xiao Lu is still in the hospital and can't come. She can't come. Do you want to delay this matter?”
" Li Chang," Director Jiang smiled." You should think about Qin Chu's words. Go back and think about it."”After saying that, she turned around and got into the car.
Wu Lichang stood there in a daze as he watched his car drive away. The director didn't say anything when he left, so was the afternoon meeting still going to be held?
The scene of Jiang and Wu in the parking lot fell into Qin Ling's eyes.
He held the steering wheel and smiled. The older the ginger, the spicier it was. He had indeed not tormented her for nothing, and his words were not in vain. Alright, it's almost noon. Let's go see Yue Yue.
" Alright, here you go." In the ward, Yue Yue was reading a book. Guan Shan handed her a peeled apple.
" Thank you." Yue Yue took the apple and smiled at Guan Shan. She ate it while reading.
Guan Shan smiled as he watched her eat. He sat back down on the chair beside the bed and picked up another book, flipping to the page he had just read.
When Qin Ling walked to the door of the ward, he saw this scene from the open door. One was reading a book, and the other was eating an apple while reading a book. Although the two of them did not speak or exchange glances, the quiet room was still filled with a faint sense of tranquility.
The two of them were very engrossed in the show, even though they did not notice that they were standing at the door. Qin Ling thought for a moment, looked at the two people in the room, and walked away lightly.
The two people in the room were still watching. It took Yue Yue a while to finish eating the apple. She stood up and took the apple core, wanting to put it in the trash can. Guan Shan, who was beside " I'll do it." He stood up and took the apple core." Thank you." Yue Yue's smile widened. Guan Shan had already helped her throw the apple core twice.
"It's noon. What do you want to eat?" Guan Shan asked Yue Yue after putting the fruit core away.
"Mm"? She didn't even feel hungry.
"Think about it. I'll go to the restaurant and call you back. There are many people there and it's chaotic.”Yue Yue was in the hospital because she was too nervous. She should avoid the annoying things if she could.
"Stir-fried bamboo shoots with white porridge."
" Alright, you take care of it first. I'll be right back." Guan Shan went out to buy food. He wanted to buy it as soon as possible so that Yue Yue wouldn't be left alone in the ward. In the end, he came back as soon as he left the ward with four dishes and a porridge in his hands. Among them, there were stir-fried bamboo shoots and rice porridge. There were also two dishes that he usually liked to eat.
" Ah!" Yueyue heard the voice and looked up. When she saw that it was him, her eyes widened. Wasn't this too fast? She had only lowered her head to read a few lines.
"Someone gave it to me."
"Who is it? You ordered it?" Although it was unlikely, this was the only possibility.
" No, someone helped me order it. Um, let's eat first." Could it be Qinling Mountain? He was the only one who could come here and know what he liked to eat.
"Yue Yue, are you familiar with Qin Chu?”
"What? I've seen him before."
"Not familiar?"
" I don't think so." They hadn't seen each other many times.
"Do you like to eat fried bamboo shoots?" Since he didn't manage to get anything out of her, he changed his direction. Guan Shan asked as he placed the dishes on the small table.
"It's alright. I eat at home often."
" Qin Chu seems to be quite close to your father." He had heard the two of them talking on the phone many times at Lingzi's place.
" It's considered cooked " answered and looked at the food. Yue Yue also understood,""This was decided by him?" That can't be. I haven't seen him here before.
" Very likely." Otherwise, who else could know their hobbies at the same time?
Yueyue picked up her chopsticks and started eating. She stopped talking. Qin Ling was no longer just a simple superior or a lunatic who liked to jump wires. She already knew that he had saved her that day when she had fallen into a daze and could not extricate herself. When she had just woken up, the words of encouragement and his warm gaze that day…Yue Yue lowered her head and chewed on the tender bamboo shoots for the first time. She did not taste what it felt like.
Guan Shan, who was beside him, was also thinking that if he happened to run into Lingzi and Yueyue alone today, would he be able to do the same and leave quietly?
After finishing his meal, it was just past midnight. Guan Shan put away his things and turned around to sit on the chair.
Yue Yue raised her head in surprise. Guan Shan had been smiling and silent ever since he arrived. Other than helping her with food, he had no presence at all. When she was reading, he would read by her side as well. It was as if the two of them had been old friends for many years. It was because of this that she did not feel unfamiliar with him and subconsciously treated him as a friend. What was he trying to do by putting on such a serious attitude? Did she want to have a good chat with him? But the two of them weren't familiar with each other, so what was there to talk about?
"Guan…Chu?"
" Why are you calling me so unfamiliarly? Just call me by my name." Guan Shan laughed when he saw her cautious expression.
" Mm." Yue Yue nodded and continued to look at him curiously.
"Yue Yue, there's something I need to tell you." Guan Shan smiled, but his expression was very serious."If you have anything to ask, can you let me finish before you ask? I'll tell you everything."
" Mm." Yue Yue nodded again. What was so serious that she couldn't be interrupted?
" A few years ago, Ling Zi and I went to a relative's house to play. One day, we saw a very magical little girl by the water." Guan Shan decided to start the conversation from the beginning. He talked about how he and his good friend first met Yue Yue, how he heard his little cousin talk about that little girl's magical story, how that little girl later went to Beijing to study, how she was outstanding, lonely, and aloof, and the piano that day, how he and Qin Ling took care of that little girl during the military training, how that little girl just joined the work and how outstanding she was, how brave and intelligent.
Before he could finish, Yue Yue had already understood that the special little girl in his words was her. It turned out that they had known her for a long time. It turned out that she was like that in their eyes. It turned out that the insoles for her military training were prepared by them and they changed them for her every day. So both of them liked her, did they? Had he guessed wrong? Yue Yue's question was answered immediately.
" Yue Yue, we both like you. It's been a long time. Lingzi liked you earlier than me." At least, it started when he was still in peace. He now knew the expression on his old friend's face every time Yue Yue was mentioned.
" Then, I…you guys…" Yue Yue was a little dizzy. What did he want to do by telling her all this? What kind of answer do you want? She was at a loss for words.
" Don't make things difficult for me. I just want you to know that Qin Ling and I both like you. We like you to the point where we would rather be friends than strangers." Yue Yue was even more confused. Guan Shan was amused by her reaction. It was rare for this little girl to be confused.
"So, we will try our best, but you don't have to be afraid. The person who fails will become the best friend of the other two in this life, understand?”
Oh, when he heard this, Student Lu's little head was a little clear."You mean, no one will give in to a fair competition, but no matter what the result is, it won't affect our friendship, right?”
"Yes, no matter what, the three of us will be best friends in this life. However, before you make a decision, I won't give up.”He wanted to make this point clear. He could not let Yue Yue be in a dilemma one day, nor did he want Yue Yue to have any choice.
"Not even my own brother?" In the room, another voice sounded.
