The butcher wasn't really angry anymore, since his wife had advised him on the way to the police station that it was never good to offend a high-ranking official, and that he should at least learn his lesson and stop thinking about taking advantage of her.

Although the butcher had a bad temper, he listened to his wife very much. There was nothing he could do about it; his wife was his pride and joy.

You could say that the butcher initially asked Zheng Heping a question just to give everyone a way out, but unexpectedly, Zheng Heping actually said that he didn't like his wife.

This makes him even angrier than if someone tried to take advantage of his wife.

Are they government officials?

Damn it, what kind of taste does he have? How dare he say his wife is inferior to those young girls?

The butcher immediately became furious, and the consequences were naturally severe.

He abandoned his usual irritability and, facing Officer Chen who was taking his statement, burst into tears, wailing and shouting that he was innocent.

Zheng Heping was completely dumbfounded when he saw the butcher crying so sadly. What was going on? According to the correct course of events, he should have rushed up and hit him.

It was precisely to provoke him and make herself appear weak that she deliberately said that the butcher's beloved wife was not as good as others.

To his surprise, the butcher, whom he considered to be all brawn and no brains, didn't play by the rules he had set.

It is precisely because of the butcher's unpredictable and erratic behavior that he is still trapped in the police station.

He knew very well whether his mother's arrival would be of any use. At this point, there was no other way but to save himself. Zheng Heping, who had been in officialdom for many years and was as cunning as a fox, turned his attention to Xiao Chen, who was taking his statement.

Xiao Chen was indeed inexperienced, otherwise he wouldn't have needed Xu Moran's help. Not long after Xu Moran left, Zheng Heping started to get close to Xiao Chen.

Following his lead, Officer Chen actually went to investigate the person who had hit him.

Officer Lin from the interrogation department knew that Officer Chen had been misled by that blatantly lying junior official, but out of his own selfish motives, he didn't tell Officer Chen.

Officer Lin has been at the police station longer than Officer Chen, and Xu Moran has pointed out so many things that he should understand a lot.

He had even mocked Xiao Chen in his heart, but he himself had almost fallen for the trick of the suspect who had molested Grandpa Wang, listening to the suspect's words and ignoring the suspect in front of him to go find the person who framed the suspect.

This is putting the cart before the horse. And just like that, the sketch that Officer Colin was holding during the interrogation ended up with Xu Moran.

To avoid arousing suspicion from Officer Lin, whose experience far surpassed Xiao Chen's, Xu Moran deliberately held one of the two portraits in each hand as he was leaving. He looked at the left one, then the right, muttering to himself, "Thick eyebrows, big eyes, square face—quite fitting my criteria for a partner. If anyone tries to introduce me to a boyfriend in the future, I'll just give them these two portraits and tell them to look for someone like this."

Officer Lin, who had already turned and walked out of the office, heard Xu Moran's mutterings and turned back to look at her. He felt a pang of embarrassment. Women have such a hard time finding boyfriends these days. It seems he needs to hurry up and stop being so picky. These days, it's good enough to find a girlfriend.

As for the real person in the portrait, if An Jingfeng knew that Xu Moran had said to his portrait more than once that he met her criteria for a partner, he would definitely kneel down and beg for mercy, saying, "Sister-in-law, please stop joking around. I don't want to be sent to Africa to mine!"

Today is Friday, and all the police officers in the same office are on duty. Only Xu Moran and Jiang Moli are in the huge office.

Instead of showing Jiang Moli two almost identical portraits, she asked her, "Would you like some coffee?"

She didn't have freshly ground coffee, but she had instant coffee in her drawer.

Jiang Moli picked up the water Xu Moran poured for her, shook her head, and said softly, "Ranran, I can just drink water."

Xu Moran also took a sip of water. "Lily, is there anything you want to tell me?"

Jiang Moli swallowed several times, a gesture that showed just how nervous she was.

Xu Moran took a breath. "Jasmine, the friend you mentioned when you called me this morning is actually yourself, and that man is the man in these two portraits. You've really got some nerve now, going to bars to drown your sorrows!"

Xu Moran was either questioning Jiang Moli or stating what had already happened in a declarative tone.

Jiang Moli clearly hadn't expected Xu Moran to be so direct. Her hand holding the water glass trembled violently, and water droplets splashed out of the glass and landed on the back of her hand.

Fortunately, Xu Moran poured her lukewarm water, and the water droplets that splashed onto the back of her hand were not hot.

Xu Moran pulled over a stool and sat down next to Jiang Moli, taking her hand and asking her earnestly, "Lili, what are your plans for the future?"

Jiang Moli took a deep breath, raised her eyes and looked directly into Xu Moran's eyes, "Ranran, to tell you the truth, I only just found out that he had helped me so much behind my back."

She knew how the man who tried to molest her at the bar was punished by him; she was sitting in the passenger seat of his car at the time.

However, Zheng Heping was hit by him, and she really didn't know.

She recalled a detail from yesterday at the bar. No wonder she didn't see him at his seat when she came out of the restroom. She thought he had left, but she didn't expect him to have chased after Zheng Heping and beaten him up.

Xu Moran took her hand and said to her very seriously, "Lily, let me share my personal opinion. Although I've never even had a boyfriend, and I have no right to speak on marriage, I think that man is at least a man who dares to act and is responsible."
