Han Xiaobao went out a few steps before he returned to the bar on the pretext that he was not drunk enough and left Lin Ze and Zhang Xinlan on the side of the road. I don’t know if he wanted to go back and continue to worship Brother Dao Scar, the number one gangster on Zijin Road, or to catch Lin Ze’s interest.
Leave the opportunity to be alone with the beautiful woman.
But no matter what, on the tree-lined path by the side of the road, only Lin Ze, who was pacing, and Zhang Xinlan, who was slightly bowing his head and taking small steps, were left.
In Lin Ze's opinion, Zhang Xinlan is not a criminal police officer in any aspect. But she is, and she is very determined - of course, this impression was observed in the two previous contacts. As for now,
Lin Ze somewhat understood Zhang Xinlan's mood.
This is easy to see from Zhang Xinlan's rather lonely expression.
"What do you like to eat?" Lin Ze turned his head and asked with a smile.
"Whatever." Zhang Xin responded like a gnat, and added, "Just make it a little lighter."
Lin Ze nodded and chose a porridge shop. He ordered a bowl of porridge, while Zhang Xinlan ordered a bowl of preserved egg porridge. Maybe it was too late. There were only a few customers in the store. The environment was quiet and elegant, and with the weather in early autumn,
The air is very refreshing and moist.
The two sat facing each other, Lin Ze holding a cigarette in his mouth and tearing open the bowls and chopsticks, while Zhang Xinlan held her chin in a daze, feeling depressed, as if she was thinking about something.
During this gap, Lin Ze also had enough time to study Zhang Xinlan's appearance.
Maybe it's because of her career. Although she has a weak temperament, there is a touch of heroism between her eyebrows, and her eyes are lively and full of spirit. Her delicate face is rosy. It should be due to her work that she has such a healthy complexion.
Different from Xia Shuzhu's slender and smooth figure, Zhang Xinlan's figure is very healthy, without a trace of excess fat. The ponytail hangs on the back of the head, giving people the impression of purity and youth.
Lin Ze saw that she was silent and silent. Knowing that she was still brooding about what happened in the bar, Lin Ze couldn't help but comforted her with a smile: "Don't think too much. As a law enforcement officer, you have already done your best."
"But I didn't give full play to the power of the law." Zhang Xinlan bit her soft lips and said with some sadness. "If you hadn't known Director Cheng, Yu Guang would definitely have caused trouble for you. He would have even taken you back to the bureau."
"Then you might as well think about it the other way around. If you meet just a few simple gangsters, with your ability, you can definitely handle the matter in accordance with the law, right?" Lin Ze saw her nodding and said again. "Yu Guang didn't
You can deal with me because I know Cheng Ziqiang. And you failed to punish Shen Fei because Yu Guang gave him face. In this world, everything cannot be perfect. As long as you have a clear conscience, it is enough."
Zhang Xinlan began to think deeply after listening to Lin Ze's somewhat Zen-like and thoughtful words.
Frankly speaking, in the past, Zhang Xinlan was basically able to deal with those who did bad things in accordance with the law in the process of law enforcement. That was naturally because of her father's relationship. As long as the background of those who did bad things was not as strong as her father's, no one could help her.
They were talking. For a guy with a powerful background like Shen Fei, his father couldn't protect him. That's why Yu Guang didn't support her.
After tonight, Zhang Xinlan slowly understood these things, but she still couldn't let go.
She just wants to be a good police officer who punishes evil and eradicates evil. Why are there so many ways to stop her?
But after this incident, her mood and thoughts have become slightly more mature. She also understands that there is no absolute black and white in this world. For the strong, the wrong is also right. For the weak, the right is also wrong.
Sighing softly, she stared straight at Lin Ze with her beautiful eyes, and said softly: "I don't want to be a policeman anymore."
"Huh?" Lin Ze heard this, thinking that it stirred up some pain in his heart, and said sadly, "Because what happened tonight has hit you hard?"
"Yes." Zhang Xinlan nodded frankly, then shook her head and said, "No. When I become a police officer, I want to maintain law and order, punish evil and eradicate evil. What happened tonight did make me feel a little chilled, and I also know that there are many things in this society.
If you don't enforce the law impartially, you will succeed. Since I can't achieve my wish by using just means, there is no point in being a police officer."
Lin Ze smoked a cigarette and listened to Zhang Xinlan's narration, his brows furrowed. After a while, the seriousness on his face faded and he asked with a smile: "Want to drink?"
Zhang Xinlan was slightly startled when she heard this, and nodded heavily: "Okay, let's drink Erguotou."
When the white porridge was delivered, it was placed on the table, and the man and woman directly drank the white wine. As we all know, many women choose between drinking white wine and beer, and they often choose the former. It is not known whether women are naturally heavy drinkers or are afraid of getting a beer belly——
In short, many women in this society have a good tolerance for liquor.
Lin Ze drank two-thirds of a bottle of Erguotou, and Zhang Xinlan also drank a glass. A seductive blush crept up on her face, and her eyes were slightly blurred, even a little confused. She slumped on the chair and said vaguely: "I have been determined to do it since I was a child.
To be an excellent police officer, serve the society and the people. This is my lifelong ideal, but now I find that this road is so difficult and full of thorns."
Lin Ze drank half of the cup in one gulp, took out a cigarette and lit it. He exhaled a puff of thick smoke and said softly: "The things you encountered are just a microcosm of this larger environment. In any circle or industry, this kind of thing can't happen in any circle."
It’s common for people to have trouble. If you can’t even get over this hurdle, you won’t like other jobs either.”
Zhang Xinlan grabbed the wine bottle and filled the glass with Erguotou, drank half of it in one gulp, and said quietly: "Then what do you think I should do? Even my direct boss doesn't support me, so what motivation do I have?"
"Do you become a police officer just because you have the support of your superiors, so you think you can fulfill your wish?" Lin Ze asked back.
"I -" Zhang Xinlan was speechless, pursed her lips and smiled bitterly, and said in frustration. "It's just that I feel that the people who should support me will shrink back because of the other party's power. Then I will not be able to move forward at all."
"Many rules of the game in this society are established. Since you cannot change these rules, you have to adapt to it. If you know it will evolve into this, then you use another way to fulfill your wish." Lin Ze sighed lightly.
, said rather cryptically. "There are not many people with ideals these days. Don't let yourself be dyed gray by the general environment. Decades in a person's life will pass in the blink of an eye. Don't ask for great achievements, but ask for no regrets."
Zhang Xinlan's state touched Lin Ze a little. It was the first time she suffered such a setback and saw the darkness within the system. Lin Ze could understand that she couldn't bear the blow. Wasn't he like this back then? He had been dying to complete the mission a few years ago.
None. But what did he get in exchange for it in the end? The comrades around him died in a foreign land one by one, and they couldn't even bring their ashes back to their hometown. The first woman who made his heart beat in his life was burned to ashes by a fire. Now, even himself
Just a supernumerary agent.
This is a kind of sorrow that has shed blood and shed tears, but has not received the dignity and glory that should belong to him. However, at the beginning, Lin Ze had no one to comfort him and no one to eliminate the demonic obstacles in his heart. He could only rely on himself.
Slowly calming down those resentments and anger. But now, he can use his identity as a past person to enlighten Zhang Xinlan, a beautiful policewoman who is soft but has a strong sense of justice.
Zhang Xinlan savored Lin Ze's words carefully. Finally, she raised her wine glass, touched it with Lin Ze, drank it in one gulp, wiped the corners of her mouth in a policeman-like manner, and said hesitantly: "You're right.
I shouldn’t be knocked down by a setback. At least, even if I can’t adapt to the rules of the game, I can still help those in need at the bottom and eradicate the dregs of society within my power.”
"Isn't that right?" Lin Ze said with a smile. "Come and drink to our policewoman who has a strong sense of justice."
"cheers!"

When Lin Ze saw Zhang Xinlan drinking so hard at the porridge restaurant, he thought she had a good drinking capacity. But when he saw that Zhang Xinlan was about to vomit stomach acid, he realized that he was wrong.
It is said that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and they are not afraid of the pain after drinking for the first time. Zhang Xinlan falls into this category. She drank hard in a depressed mood, and now her stomach is starting to trouble her.
She squatted on the roadside and vomited, and her face that was originally extremely rosy and charming due to drinking became pale and colorless. Lin Ze handed her wet wipes and mineral water, and sat on the stone steps by the roadside, smoking a cigarette and smiling bitterly.
Said: "It turns out this is your first time drinking."
"How is it? I have a pretty good drinking capacity, right?" Maybe she drank too much, because she was not as soft-spoken as usual and became more straightforward.
"Not bad, not bad." Lin Ze nodded with a smile. Seeing her staggering around after getting up, he hurriedly stepped forward to support her and said helplessly, "Where is your home? I'll take you back."
"I don't want to go home." Zhang Xinlan shook her head resolutely.
"Then where do you want to go?" Lin Ze took out his iPhone and glanced at the time, and said seriously. "It's already one o'clock in the morning. If you don't rest, you will be late for work tomorrow."
"I'm going to take leave tomorrow and prepare to have a good rest." Zhang Xinlan muttered. "Why don't we find a place to continue drinking."
This is what a drunk person is like. As long as she doesn't really lie down, she will ask for drinks endlessly. She won't give up until she lies down completely. Especially when she is depressed and aggrieved, she doesn't know what else to do if she doesn't drink to vent.
.
"You still want to drink?" Lin Ze raised his eyebrows and said helplessly. "Your stomach is empty. If you drink without anything, you will feel uncomfortable."
"It's okay!" Zhang Xinlan waved her hand, half lying on Lin Ze's shoulder, and said with the unique smell of a beautiful policewoman mixed with the smell of alcohol. "If you don't drink with me, I'll find a place by myself."
As she said this, she was about to break away from Lin Ze's support and walk to the nightclub on the roadside. How could Lin Ze trust that a drunken beauty entered a nightclub with a complicated environment alone, not to mention that she was wearing a uniform, even if it said 'Children of cadres are fierce'
', those beasts with soaring hormones dared to pounce on me at the risk of beheading.
Grabbing her slender catkin, Zhang Xinlan stumbled and fell into Lin Ze's arms. She exclaimed slightly. But Lin Ze's magnetic and low words came to her ears: "You really drank too much, and I drank too."
I'm a little excited. Now I can take you back, I can control it. If I drink another round, I'm afraid you won't have a chance to go home tonight."
A burst of warm hot air blew from her earlobe, Zhang Xinlan's delicate body trembled slightly, and her face was quickly covered with a layer of attractive blush like rouge. It is not known whether it was because of the incident in the bar, her psychological defense was fragile, or because she drank too much.
She was so courageous. She actually raised her head slightly, biting Lin Ze's face with her watery and blurred eyes, and moaned in an ecstatic and sultry voice: "When you drink until you can't hold it anymore, I'll go with you."
