Chapter 163

Ding Guoqiang was very angry about Xiang Siling's escape. Seeing that Lu Xing had been escorted back to Xiangcheng, Luo Hongmin's case was finally about to be solved, but the suspect slipped away from under their noses.

Ding Guoqiang looked at the two quail-like young criminal policemen, and he was so angry that he couldn't even vent his anger. The young guys were already working hard enough, going on missions during the day and at night. What about you, Ding Guoqiang? Your old arms and legs can't even last a night.

Ding Guoqiang couldn't help thinking, if Chen Pu or Fang Hao had been on guard last night, the man would definitely not have escaped, and the veteran detectives would have been able to tell something was wrong at a glance. But now, no matter how he asked, the two young men looked confused.

But could he let Chen Pu and Fang Hao do nothing but guard Xiang Siling for half a month? Last night, these two capable men didn't sleep for a minute. They found the lair of Luo Long and his partner at Heili Peak and completed the exploration overnight, bringing new breakthroughs to the case.

After all, there are still not enough people.

Even if it was Li Qingyao who was guarding the hospital last night, Xiang Siling might not have been able to escape. Although she has the least experience, she is smart and capable. Which of the tasks assigned to her by the team has gone wrong? Didn't they all exceed expectations?
Ding Guoqiang has seen many people who work in a muddle-headed way all their lives. They work hard and are willing to work hard, but they just don't get the hang of things and stay where they are. There is not much difference between working for one year and working for ten years. Ding Guoqiang thinks this is not stupidity. Most people have little difference in intelligence. This is actually a kind of laziness that is hidden deep. There is a kind of effort called "you look very hard". You have spent time and energy, but it seems that if you don't do well, it's not your responsibility. After all, I am already so tired. But this kind of people never force themselves to calm down, spend time to study problems, challenge difficulties, and seek real progress from pain and torture.

Li Qingyao is different. She is the same type as Chen Pu. From the first day of work, she has been working hard and running forward. She can use all her energy to do the simplest job, not only giving you what you want, but also giving you what you didn't expect. This is the real effort that is valuable and can change things. Otherwise, how could Li Qingyao, who has only worked for a few months, be equivalent to a criminal police officer with three to five years of experience?

Thinking of this, Ding Guoqiang's train of thought was suddenly enlightened - isn't this a waste of manpower? In a tense period, with Li Qingyao's ability, he can be on his own and bring a troublesome young man as a partner. Instead of following behind Chen Pu as an assistant all day long, he can't play a big role.

As long as it was related to the work of the criminal police team, Ding Guoqiang would not consider personal feelings. He immediately called Chen Pu.

Chen Pu was driving and taking Li Qingyao back to the city bureau, while Zhou Yangxin stayed in Heilifeng.

He put on his Bluetooth headset and answered: "Master."

"I have something to tell you. I think you have done a good job in coaching Li Qingyao over the past few months. I will assign her a partner in a few days so that she can take on the work independently."

Chen Pu was silent.

Ding Guoqiang was right, the temperature was almost right. But this also meant...

He sighed softly and said, "Okay, got it."

Ding Guoqiang smiled with satisfaction and was about to hang up the phone when Chen Pu said, "But I have two requests."

"Are you dreaming?"

"First, she's a girl, and her skills are just so-so. Choose the one with the best skills among those stupid boys so that they can complement each other."

“…This works.”

"Second, this is a private matter." Chen Pu lowered his voice when he saw Li Qingyao looking at him, "Don't choose those, Master. This is my personal request to you."

Although Chen Pu didn't think that anyone in the criminal police team could win his heart, but seeing his girlfriend teaming up with suitors all day long felt like herding sheep on a vast grassland, with the sky above his head seemingly green but not green. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to sleep at all.

"You kid! You're really promising! You haven't asked me for help in seven years, but now you ask me for help!"

"Hey, I'll need your help a lot in the future, it's settled."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Pu met Li Qingyao's inquiring gaze and was speechless for a moment.

Li Qingyao guessed most of it: "Captain Ding wants to choose a new partner for me?"

"Yeah, that's right."

"Is it because of our matter that it has a bad influence?"

Chen Pu smiled and reached out to touch her head: "It's our business and none of other people's business. It's because you are awesome that he decided to let you lead someone and stand on your own. From now on, you are no longer the B role, but the A role." Li Qingyao smiled, looked into his eyes, and gradually the smile faded, and he didn't say anything.

Chen Pu was very upset and didn't know what to say, so he kept fiddling with the steering wheel, with larger movements than usual, turning at a more dramatic angle and driving faster. The two seemed to have their own concerns and didn't talk much along the way.

After driving to the police station building, Chen Pu turned and drove towards Chaoyang Home.

Li Qingyao still didn't say anything.

When we got downstairs, Chen Pu seemed to have calmed down. He parked the car steadily, without the faint reckless momentum. Then he lowered his head, patted the steering wheel with one hand, and said, "Get out of the car."

Li Qingyao slammed the car door and just stood still, Chen Pu came around, with obvious resentment in his eyes, but his actions were decisive and powerful. He hugged her waist, pressed his body against the car door, and lowered his head to kiss her.

The autumn afternoon sun was still very strong, shining through the leaves and basking their heads and faces. Chaoyang Home was still deserted during the day, with only one or two people passing by on the street corners and the lingering calls of wild cats. Chen Pu was very tall, and his body could almost cover her completely. He pressed on her and kissed her. He put one hand around her waist, and his other hand touched her drooping hand at some point, clasping their fingers together. After kissing her hard for a long time, he moved his lips away. It was probably the first time for Chen Xiaopu to kiss passionately on the street, and his face was rarely flushed. But he still held her tightly.

"Don't you feel reluctant at all?" he asked.

Li Qingyao understood that he was feeling wronged about this. But what should Li Qingyao say?
Of course she couldn't bear to leave Chen Pu. As the saying goes, it's easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it's hard to go from luxury to frugality. She had lived alone for so many years. But now, she has gotten used to waking up every morning and seeing him either at the door or downstairs. She is used to being inseparable from him all day, discussing everything with him, and feeling extremely at ease; she is used to him being the last person to say goodnight to her in the dead of night.

There was a period of time when Li Qingyao had to rely on tranquilizers to find peace of mind. Later, she tried her best to quit.

When she made the decision to find Chen Pu three years ago, Chen Pu was her new medicine. He was once an imaginary person; later he became the real person. How comfortable and lovable is this medicine? Since they met, Chen Pu gave her almost everything she wanted. This person who was so hard at ordinary times was infinitely gentle and tolerant only to her.

Now they were going to form a new partner. Didn't she understand what this meant? Maybe from morning till night, for several days in a row, they would each go on their own missions and would not see each other. For Li Qingyao, wouldn't this be equivalent to quitting her medicine again? In the future, only rarely could she see him, get close to him, smell his breath, hear his voice, and get deep comfort in her heart.

But Li Qingyao was just that kind of person, there were many things she would never easily say. She just hugged his neck and smiled a little bit wickedly: "There are also benefits, not seeing you for a day feels like a long time, that's also a different experience."

Chen Pu said unhappily, "I must be mentally ill to want that kind of experience."

"How about I reject Lao Ding?" Li Qingyao took a step back to advance.

"No." Chen Pu refused without even thinking.

"So Chen Pu, promise Lao Ding that the person who makes this decision is you."

Chen Pu gave a bitter smile, stared into her watery eyes, bit her nose lightly as a punishment, and then let her go.

"You are born in the Year of the Dog."

He held her hand and said, "Let's go. What else can we do? We have to work overtime at the company and we will be separated."

"Let go, someone will see you soon."

"It's still a long way to go. Let go when we're almost there. I'll have to date you with the spirit of participating in a provincial competition."

"?"

"Every second counts, and we must launch a comprehensive assault."

"…You're the one who's in trouble."

There is another chapter that is being revised. I will post it later.
