Zheng Xia, whose expression remained unchanged despite being scolded by the director, was stunned.
"What is he looking for me for? How did he know I was here?"
The colleague laughed and said: "He said he came to visit you, but he couldn't get through your cell phone, so he went to the district office to find someone to ask."
Zheng Xia looked at the turned off mobile phone on the bedside table and hesitated, then asked: "He just asked me this simple question?"
The colleague didn't expect Zheng Xia to care about this kind of thing, and he didn't know how to reply.
At this time, Xiao Chen smiled and said: "Captain Zheng, don't think about it. Xu Ran helped so much yesterday. Everyone knows that he saved us and knew that he wanted to come to visit you. There is no reason not to tell you."
.”
The director and Team Zhang were stunned for a few times when they heard Xu Ran's name. They mainly heard from other people's dictation and didn't have much impression of Xu Ran.
As for the transcript? Not to mention, I fainted and collapsed yesterday.
Now when Xiao Chen said that Xu Ran was the caring citizen, the director couldn't help but became interested: "That person named Xu Ran is friends with your team leader Zheng?"
Xiao Chen hesitated: "Yeah..."
Zheng Xia affirmed: "No."
Although she was rescued by Xu Ran, Zheng Xia didn't know why, but there was a thorn in her throat that made her unbearable.
Xiao Chen couldn't help but scratch his face when he heard Zheng Xia's affirmation.
In Xiao Chen's mind, Xu Ran saved them now. Not to mention his contribution to this case, this single-round rescue was not a bad idea for him and Xu Ran to become friends, right?
However, considering that Zheng Xia has always been "clean and tidy" in private, let alone those outside the circle, she doesn't seem to care much about the private interactions within the circle.
So it's not surprising that Zheng Xia is still so sure.
"Xiao Chen, the Xu Ran you are talking about is the one who saved you, right?" the director asked for confirmation.
Xiao Chen nodded: "Yes, he also told me directly about the suspect information about the Chen Zhe brothers... If I had asked him in the restaurant at that time, maybe so many things would not have happened last night."
After speaking, Xiao Chen turned to look at Zheng Xia.
Zheng Xia just shook his head and said nothing.
In terms of consequentialism, it is true that if Zheng Xia had allowed Xiao Chen to tell the suspect's information and ask about it in the restaurant last night, then this situation would not have happened, and the case would have been better and properly solved, instead of what the hospital has to do now.
With two people lying down, it’s not easy to write a report...
But no one can say that Zheng Xia's decision at that time was wrong.
The case involves a mission that night, especially in today's information age, where anything the police officers reveal will be spread throughout the country through citizens' mobile phones.
When the matter is uncertain and the information is not confirmed, Zheng Xia will not disclose the information about the target suspect and seek help from the public.
When the director heard that the confirmation information of the suspect gang was also given by Xu Ran, he seemed surprised.
"So, this person named Xu Ran has made great contributions not only to the case, but also to your Team Zheng."
"Yes, director."
The director couldn't help but rub his chin upon hearing this, as if he was thinking about something.
The colleague standing at the door looked a little helpless: "Captain Zheng...then I let them in?"
Zheng Xia frowned and subconsciously wanted to shake her head to refuse. As the head of the ward and Team Zhang from the criminal detachment were present, she didn't want Xu Ran to get involved now.
But when she heard what her colleagues said, she looked strange: "Them?"
"Yes, there is also a little girl..."
Before my colleague finished speaking, a petite figure squeezed in at the door of the ward.
"You still need to leave such ink marks when visiting someone!"
Han Yike squeezed in from beside his colleagues from the security police, with a look of displeasure on his face: "Please tell me, if I was asked to wait there for so long, I thought you went to the toilet and squatted in the bathroom."
With her small figure, tender face, and impatient tone, she looked like an ignorant little girl.
Han Yike groaned and looked into the ward, where he saw Zheng Xia sitting on the bed with a slightly surprised look on her face.
She whimpered and trotted away, ran onto Zheng Xia's hospital bed, and asked nervously: "Sister Zheng, are you okay?"
And Xu Ran had just arrived at the door and said apologetically to his colleagues at the door.
In Han Yike's eyes, she doesn't care about so many so-called taboos. Since the people she cares about are lying in the hospital, why bother writing on them, as if she wants to do something bad.
When Zheng Xia faced Han Yike, she could no longer be so indifferent and smiled lightly: "I'm fine."
Han Yike's little hand groped Zheng Xia's face: "Ugh, why is your neck still wrapped in a bandage? It looks like it was re-sewed after being amputated."
Hearing this sentence, the director and others in the ward couldn't help laughing.
Xu Ran came in carrying the thermos box, looking humble and polite, and greeted the director and Team Zhang.
The director shook hands with Xu Ran warmly.
"Are you Xu Ran?"
"Yes, I am."
"Thanks to you for this case!"
"No matter what, this is what we citizens should do."
"Especially if it's not you, maybe something will happen to two of my subordinates because of this!"
"Officers Zheng Xia and Officer Chen are both good police officers in Nanzhou City. They maintain social order, and I am honored to assist the police when they can. As long as everyone doesn't dislike me for causing trouble for everyone."
The director saw that Xu Ran was very good at talking. Xu Ran deliberately did not mention the fact that he rescued Zheng Xia and Xiao Chen. He only said that he assisted the police in doing things. Didn't this show a typical picture of police-civilian cooperation?
Xu Ran's approach undoubtedly gave the director a lot of face, and the director became more and more pleased with Xu Ran.
"By the way, where is Mr. Xu's job?"
"Don't dare, just call me Xiao Xu. Currently I am an intern at Chifeng Group." Xu Ran blinked, he was just being polite, the adult in front of him seemed to be very interested in him...
Could it be that this person is Zheng Xia, Xiao Chen’s father? He doesn’t look like him.
"Chifeng Group? I didn't expect you to work there." The director couldn't help but nodded, "I forgot to introduce myself. I am the director of the Zhu District District Office, and this person next to me is Captain Zhang of the District Office's Criminal Detachment."
Xu Ran was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and shook hands with Team Zhang without being humble or overbearing.
Unexpectedly, several important people from the Zhu District District Office are here... If the captain of the traffic police detachment is also here... But if he sees Han Yike here, he may have another headache.
Han Yike was holding Zheng Xia on the hospital bed, his cute face muttering: "What are they talking about?"
Zheng Xia smiled softly and touched Han Yike's head: "Say some human words that others can't understand."
After Xu Ranhe, the director, and Team Zhang finished dealing with it, they quickly carried the incubator to Zheng Xia's hospital bed, spread out the horizontal board of the hospital bed, and placed the incubator on top.
Seeing this, Zheng Xia couldn't help but frown: "What is this for?"
"What are you doing?" Xu Ran was curious, "The soup and some side dishes are here, but the rice is from yesterday. It happens to be ready for noon, so you can have it for lunch. These are all made by Zhao Yiyi."
Han Yike raised his hand excitedly: "I also took action!"
Zheng Xia couldn't help but be curious: "You also helped?"
"Yes, I washed the dishes at the end."
There was laughter again in the ward, and Han Yike pouted with a nonchalant look on his face.
The director waved his hand and led Captain Zheng out of the ward. They made room for Xu Ran and Zheng Xia to spend some time together.
But they also felt strange. Zheng Xia definitely said that she and Xu Ran were not friends, but their attitude didn't seem like it...
When he opened the thermos box, the aroma came out, and Xiao Chen couldn't help but swallow his saliva after smelling it.
Xu Ran smiled and said, "Officer Chen, would you like to drink some too?"
"Yeah!"
Zheng Xia shook her head: "I'll forget it."
Han Yike was surprised: "How could you not eat it? Xu and I have been waiting for a long time to make this soup."
Zheng Xia still shook her head and refused, not understanding why she refused. Seeing that his captain didn't drink, Xiao Chen couldn't say he wanted to drink anymore.
Xu Ran was concerned: "No appetite?"
"No..." Zheng Xia looked at the opened home-cooked dishes and the fragrant soup, and couldn't help but sigh, and then did not explain.
Zheng Xia is not very good at accepting favors from others, especially if this favor is given by someone outside the circle. She knows it very well, so Xu Ran rescued her. This is a huge favor in itself...can't say favors.
, this is a favor.
She didn't even know how to repay this love to Xu Ran...
She was troubled when she saw that Xu Ran and Han Yike deliberately went to the hospital to visit her. This caring attitude made it difficult for her to accept for some reason...
It should be said that she has never accepted this kind of concern from others since she was a child.
She even listened to her parents' concern, but never accepted it in her heart.
Han Yike was unhappy: "No, you have to drink! If you don't drink, wouldn't it be a waste of my waiting hours?"
"This..." Zheng Xia was stunned.
Xu Ran smiled lightly: "Indeed, if you don't drink, I will pry open your mouth and feed you."
Zheng Xia was stunned, while Xiao Chen looked on happily.
This was the first time he saw his captain showing such an expression.
Zheng Xia, who is usually solemn and serious, will only speak out her decision once in front of anyone in the district. With such a solemn attitude, no one will refute her orders and decisions.
For example, last night, Zheng Xia said that she was going to find Chen Zhe. Xiao Chen knew that this was wrong, but he still subconsciously followed Zheng Xia's orders.
This is a subconscious habit. If Xiao Chen were Xu Ran and Zheng Xia refused like that, he would definitely not dare to speak again.
However, I didn't expect that Xu Ran and Han Yike were both very powerful.
One said bluntly that Zheng Xia must drink, and the other said that Zheng Xia would pry open her mouth if she didn't drink.
It was even more interesting to see Zheng Xia's helpless expression.
Xu Ran ignored Zheng Xia's embarrassment and started to get a bowl for Zheng Xia to fill with soup. He also found a box in the ward and filled a portion for Xiao Chen.
Zheng Xia looked at the dish in front of her that looked absolutely delicious, but she made no move with an indifferent expression.
When Han Yike saw Zheng Xiazhen not drinking in bed, he couldn't help but hugged his shoulders and became unhappy.
"If you don't drink, then I'll feed you." Xu Ran was funny and pretended to roll up his sleeves, then fiddled with the spoon while holding the bowl, and put a spoonful of soup in front of Zheng Xia's mouth in a somewhat arrogant manner.
"Come on, ah~ open your mouth."
Zheng Xia immediately blushed. How had she ever been treated like this, especially by a man?
"Get away quickly."
"Then will you drink?"
"Don't drink."
"If you don't drink, I will really open your mouth. Anyway, these are all our thoughts. You know my strength."
Xu Ran still understands in her heart that for a strong-willed woman like Zheng Xia, you can't be tactful or compromise. You have to be tougher than her. Only in this way will she listen to you.
Seeing that although Xu Ran was smiling, his expression didn't look like he was joking. It seemed that he could do what he just said. Zheng Xia couldn't help but sigh again.
"Okay...I'll drink. I can do it myself."
"Sister Zheng, that's right." Han Yike groaned, "If it weren't for your injury, Xu Daodong and I wouldn't have the heart to do it to you. Otherwise, I would have helped hold you down when I opened your mouth later.
The one with both hands."
Zheng Xia, who had already compromised, smiled and shook her head. Although she was embarrassed in her heart, she knew that Han Yike and Xu Ran were kind to her.
It's just that Zheng Xia was afraid that she would not be able to repay her kindness sometimes because she was blessed to enjoy it.
Zheng Xia silently took the bowl and spoon from Xu Ran and drank the soup.
Seeing this, Xiao Chen finally felt relieved. As long as Zheng Xia drank it, he didn't have to worry about anything, and he quickly drank the soup.
As soon as the soup was in his mouth, Xiao Chen couldn't help but say: "It tastes delicious!"
Han Yike hugged his shoulders and said proudly: "No, this is Yiyi's soup."
Xu Ran pulled up a chair in the ward and sat down, watching Zheng Xia eat.
This was the first time Zheng Xia had suffered this kind of 'crime'. She had to be stared at while eating, and it was just two people.
It seems that if you don’t finish eating, you will be punished later.
Under the gazes of Xu Ran and Han Yike, Zheng Xia awkwardly ate the food. Although it tasted good, she was in a complicated mood and did not taste it properly. She regarded eating as a task.
Xu Ran chatted: "How are you doing with your health?"
"It's okay."
"How long will I be hospitalized?"
"It won't take long."
"You were very weak yesterday. You should still be weak now, right?"
"No big problem."
Xu Ran blinked in concern: "Don't be so reckless in the future. If you have anything, you can tell me."
When talking about this issue, Zheng Xia Mei Feng couldn't help but pick it up and seemed a little unhappy.
She looked solemnly and looked at Xu Ran seriously: "You are the one, don't be so reckless. Some things are not what you should do."
"What's the matter?" Xu Ran was stunned.
"What happened last night." Zheng Xia's eyes were like eagles, and the cheerful and warm atmosphere in the ward suddenly dropped.
Han Yike blinked in confusion. In her eyes, it's not surprising that Xu Ran helped Zheng Xia when something happened, right?
Xiao Chen choked nervously. He was familiar with Zheng Xia's temper and knew that Zheng Xia was angry!
"Huh?" Xu Ran was puzzled, "What about saving you last night?"
"Even if you didn't come last night, according to time, other colleagues will be here soon."
Xu Ran looked at Zheng Xia strangely: "What if they didn't arrive?"
"It's not possible, I believe them."
"Does that mean you don't believe me?" Xu Ran also had a strange look in his eyes.
Zheng Xia pursed her lips and did not answer: "This is not the same thing. You are a citizen. It will do you no good to intervene in this type of criminal case. What we police have to do is to maintain order and protect the personal safety and security of citizens.
Property, those suspects last night were so dangerous, if something happened to you, wouldn't it be against the wishes of our police?"
Han Yike was stunned for a moment and said slowly: "Sister Zheng, why do I feel that you are also talking in human language that no one can understand."
Xu Ran frowned. He somewhat understood Zheng Xia's feelings, but also partly couldn't understand them.
"Then what your director said about police-citizen cooperation..."
“Most of the police-civilian cooperation in the history of police services has involved citizens proactively revealing useful information or leading the way. There have never been a few cases where citizens were fully involved in criminal cases.”
Xu Ran couldn't laugh or cry immediately: "Does that mean I have to watch you and do nothing when something happens to you?"
"No." Zheng Xia said seriously, "You can call the police."
