She looked in astonishment at Lin Ze who was suctioning the wound carefully, tensing up and not daring to let out any anger.
"He is so beautiful."
This is Zhang Xinlan's inner activity at this moment.
His eyebrows, his eyes, his straight nose, and his thin lips outline a face that makes Zhang Xinlan's heart beat.
Staring at Lin Ze's face blankly, Zhang Xinlan had a dull look on her face.
"Ziz——"
The moist touch from her fingers brought Zhang Xinlan back to reality from her daze. The indescribable electric shock from her fingers spread all over her body, like a hard knock on her heart, making her tremble all over.
What does this feel like?
Zhang Xinlan asked herself strangely, her delicate face was flushed, and she was indescribably charming.
"I told you to be careful." When Lin Ze saw that the bleeding had stopped, he took out a pack of tissues from his pocket, deftly wrapped the wound, and said noncommittally. "With your impatience, it's hard to believe that you can do it in the police force.
The world is here to stay."
When her fingers were released, Zhang Xinlan retracted in panic and retorted: "Who said I can't stay for a long time? Your knife is obviously too sharp."
But his tone was erratic and weak, as if he was being coquettish to his little lover more than sternly retorting.
Lin Ze smiled slightly and said nothing more. He lit a cigarette and started smoking slowly.
Zhang Xinlan felt sad when she saw him like this. After he finished smoking a cigarette, there was still no sign of opening his mouth. Zhang Xinlan couldn't help but said: "I brought you back to the police station, not to let you
There is a place to smoke.”
"Then if you don't interrogate me, what do you want me to say?" Lin Ze said lifelessly. "It's getting late, let's get to the point."
"The main topic?" Zhang Xinlan was stunned for a moment, and said inexplicably. "You wanted to follow me back to the police station. I just suspected that some of you were hiding illegal items. In the end, we didn't find any. So why should we get to the main topic?"
Lin Ze frowned slightly, with a hint of confusion in his eyes. He immediately licked the cigarette butts, and the subtle resistance in his heart relaxed. He smiled and said, "Then can I go back?"
Zhang Xinlan curled her lips slightly, did this guy hate staying with her so much?
He bit his lip and said lukewarmly: "You have only been sitting here for half an hour. Wouldn't it be very shameful for me to let you go now?"
"Hey, you are a fair and strict female police chief. Are you going to let us innocent citizens blow cold air in the interrogation room just for the sake of face?" Lin Ze pushed the coffee cup in front of him. "And you don't give me any coffee, be careful if I accuse you.
You mistreat good citizens."
Zhang Xinlan raised her wrist and glanced at the time. It was already twelve o'clock at night. She made a phone call and ordered two midnight snacks. Then she said to Lin Ze: "I have been busy all night and haven't eaten anything yet. Please
You have a late night snack, and you can leave after eating."
"But I just ate—" Lin Ze looked at the midnight snack in front of him in embarrassment and said, rubbing his belly. "How can I sleep at night if I eat so much?"
"Then watch me eat." Zhang Xinlan opened her chopsticks and started eating.
Seeing this, Lin Ze had no choice but to follow Zhang Xinlan and eat. After all, he only drank wine during the supper at night and did not eat any food. At this moment, smelling the fragrant supper, his appetite was whetted.
Zhang Xinlan glanced at Lin Ze who was eating with gusto, the corners of her soft mouth turned up slightly, and said, "Slow down, no one will compete with you."
"I have tried very hard to restrain myself." Lin Ze ate two vegetables and took a sip of tea.
The interrogation room was cold and cold, but the atmosphere was very harmonious. The man and woman seemed to be eating midnight snacks in perfect harmony, but in fact they had their own thoughts. It was just that Zhang Xinlan's thoughts were biased toward personal issues.
Lin Ze wiped the grease from the corners of his mouth, burped with satisfaction, and said, "After we have eaten and drank enough, let's go back to our homes and find our mothers."
"Can you still get a taxi so late?" Zhang Xinlan asked tentatively.
"I'm the big brother." Lin Ze raised his phone and smiled. "Just make a phone call and they can send a convoy to pick me up."
Zhang Xinlan said disdainfully: "You are quite proud, right?"
"I'm just stating a fact." Lin Ze said with a smile.
Zhang Xinlan was about to say something else when her cell phone suddenly rang.
The caller ID was Director Cheng. Zhang Xinlan was a little confused. It was already one o'clock in the morning. Is there anything else?
After answering the phone, Zhang Xinlan said calmly: "Director Cheng, is there something wrong?"
"Are you and Lin Ze in the interrogation room?" Director Cheng asked bluntly.
"Well, yes." Zhang Xinlan nodded, but there was a trace of confusion between her eyebrows.
"You go back to the office first. I have something to discuss with Lin Ze." Director Cheng said in a somewhat uncomfortable tone.
"This -" Zhang Xinlan's heart suddenly suddenly changed, but she agreed immediately.
"Director Cheng will be here soon, you wait here. My office is upstairs. If I don't have a car, I can take you back."
"Goodbye." Lin Ze said casually.
Zhang Xinlan returned to the office with her heart full of thoughts, lying on her desk playing with the small objects on the desk, silently in a daze.
Frankly speaking, she felt it was a bit weird. As for what was weird, she couldn't put her finger on it.
After staying in the office for a long time, her mind suddenly became clear. She seemed to have thought of something——
"Ever since I met Lin Ze, I seem to have been assigned important tasks by Director Cheng——" Zhang Xinlan muttered with a confused look on her face. "And every important task she performs seems to be dealing with Lin Ze. Is it because——"
————
Snap.
Lin Ze slowly lit a cigarette. At this moment, he had been invited to the office by Cheng Ziqiang. In front of him were freshly squeezed coffee, soft Chinese, and comfortable sofa chairs. But Lin Ze did not take a sip of coffee or smoke a cigarette. He
He lit Changbai without any trouble and glanced at Cheng Ziqiang who was slightly embarrassed.
"Mr. Lin, I originally wanted to talk to Scar directly. But it seems unethical to consider jumping over you like this. So after thinking about it, I decided to talk to you first." Director Cheng said kindly.
In fact, Cheng Ziqiang was not a kind-hearted person in the first place. Not to mention at work, even to his parents and children, he was not a loving son or father. But when facing Lin Ze, he almost subconsciously
He had a kind look on his face. He was quite worried that his too tough attitude would make Lin Ze angry.
Secondly, even when facing Scar, he dared to talk arrogantly and indifferently. There was no need to say nonsense like being inconsistent with the rules. The fact that he was so low-key and peaceful in front of Lin Ze was not because Lin Ze was the boss behind Scar.
It's another layer of his identity.
This level of identity is something Cheng Ziqiang cannot afford to offend, nor does he dare to offend.
Every time his old boss who was transferred to Yanjing returned to Huaxin City, Cheng Ziqiang would visit him and occasionally talk about what happened in Huaxin City back then. The old boss only said one thing to Cheng Ziqiang: This kind of thing
This is not something you can manage at your level!
Although this is a slap in the face, Cheng Ziqiang, who has been immersed in officialdom for many years, is not depressed or angry at all.
A slap in the face?
A slap in the face indeed.
But if he didn't know the news and hadn't been reminded by his old boss, then Cheng Ziqiang would be more than just a slap in the face today.
In the officialdom, besides human resources, what is the most important capital? It is information.
The most confidential information often allows people who hang out in officialdom to make the most correct decisions and the most subtle sides. Cheng Ziqiang has been reminded by his old boss that he will definitely not play against Lin Ze. If he dare not, he cannot.
Sing.
Even though he still doesn't have a complete grasp of Lin Ze's identity. He doesn't even know what Lin Ze's specific job is.
Agent? Military sharp knife member? Or——
Cheng Ziqiang doesn't care about these, he just needs to keep reminding himself: Don't go against Lin Ze, and don't act against Lin Ze. That's a stupid act!
"You can talk to him directly." Lin Ze puffed out a puff of smoke and said lightly with a slightly depressed brow. "Of course, you can also contact me directly to talk."
He said the former sentence in an understatement, while the latter sentence was clearly emphasized.
Cheng Ziqiang immediately understood what Lin Ze was referring to, and awkwardly changed the subject: "I have cleaned up Scar's place. On the one hand, I eliminated the gangsters who wanted to cause trouble, and on the other hand, I
It's because of pressure. After a month, if Scar doesn't do anything inappropriate again, I will gradually relax the control. At that time, our bureau will maintain law and order, and Scar will make money in a low-key manner. This is a situation that everyone is happy with."
"Don't worry, Scar is not stupid. He is just trying to make money." Lin Ze said perfunctorily. "He won't do anything random."
Since he was invited by Cheng Ziqiang, Lin Ze didn't put on airs and kept silent, and casually helped Scar say what he needed to say.
"This is the best." Cheng Ziqiang rubbed his hands and said, "I hope everyone can live in peace and harmony in the future."
Lin Ze shrugged and slowly took a puff of cigarette.
Cheng Ziqiang studied Lin Ze's indifferent expression, made up his mind, and said in a different tone: "Brother Xiao Lin, in fact, these few times, I only choose when I have no choice -"
"I hope this is the last time." Lin Ze glanced at him indifferently and said expressionlessly. "If you have any questions, you can contact me directly without going through Zhang Xinlan."
Being glanced at by Lin Ze's sharp eyes, Cheng Ziqiang immediately became a little frightened and nodded hastily: "Brother Xiao Lin, don't worry, there won't be another time."
Lin Ze nodded slightly and made the final statement in a calm tone: "My friendship with her is not something you can use to take advantage of her." After saying that, he slowly stood up and walked out the door.
"It's so late and it's not easy to get a taxi. How about I ask Xiao Zhang to take you home?" Cheng Ziqiang said as he followed behind.
"I think the private life of your subordinate is very inappropriate." Lin Ze said nonchalantly, holding a cigarette in his mouth. "Ask her to send me home. I'm worried that she will drag me to the wilderness and taint me."
Cheng Ziqiang's legs went weak when he heard this, and Zhang Xinlan, who had just come downstairs, felt weak and almost tumbled down the stairs.
