Chapter 62 Chapter 62
It was early morning, the dark night was pouring down like thick ink, and the scattered stars were flashing dimly in the sky.
On the Yanjiang Avenue in Linjiang City, a motorcyclist wearing a leather jacket passed through the empty night.
Buzz——
The ear-piercing engine sound was particularly abrupt in the silent night, as if occupying all the silence on both sides of the road. Lu Jianing deliberately stepped on the accelerator a little harder.
The motorcycle sped away at a very fast speed.
Lu Jianing lay prone on the motorcycle, feeling the oncoming wind.
The car drove about a hundred meters. With the help of the dim street lights on both sides of the road, Lu Jianing could barely see a figure not far ahead. He was lying beside the guardrail, quietly looking at the river view.
As if he was not disturbed at all by the sound of Lu Jianing's engine, he stayed there motionless, the breeze blew up the strands of hair on his forehead, fluttering in the air. This book is exclusively compiled for you by the LK team
Lu Jianing slowly stopped the car, took off her helmet, and walked towards him slowly. This book is exclusively compiled for you by the LK team
Lu Jianing had a slender figure, and the tight black leather jacket she wore perfectly outlined her figure without a trace of fat.
Not charming, nor graceful, but a kind of beauty that is full of power.
She held the helmet between her arms, her dark black hair swaying in the air. Lu Jianing asked teasingly, "Captain He, why are you here so late at night?"
He Qifeng didn't explain much. He picked up a bottle of Coke from the side and handed it to Lu Jianing: "Would you like some?"
"Thank you." Lu Jianing put down his helmet, took it without hesitation and drank a few sips.
Soda is cold and goes deep into the stomach and spleen.
Lu Jianing shuddered in discomfort.
"They went back." He Qifeng said without any context.
Although he didn't say any names, Lu Jianing still guessed who the 'they' he was talking about were.
"My master and his men are very busy. How could they stay here for so long?" Lu Jianing said casually.
"I told her that you have the right to choose to accept or refuse," He Qifeng said. "You are yourself first, and a police officer second."
"If it's something you don't want to do, just be willful and don't do it."
Lu Jianing: "Did my master and the others agree?"
"Yeah." He Qifeng responded sullenly.
Lu Jianing chuckled and said, "It's rare for my master to compromise, and it's also rare to hear these words from my uncle."
He Qifeng said nothing.
"But uncle," Lu Jianing's hand that was playing with the half-bottle of soda suddenly stopped, and she suddenly asked seriously, "What choice do you want me to make?"
He Qifeng was about to speak when Lu Jianing interrupted him: "I don't want the police perspective, I don't want the society perspective, I don't want the rational and emotional perspective, I just want to know what you think."
After saying that, Lu Jianing did not forget to add: "If you want me to go, I will go."
He Qifeng said lightly: "Then don't go."
Lu Jianing: "Why?"
He Qifeng: "I don't want you to be embarrassed."
He Qifeng's seemingly light words struck Lu Jianing's heart hard.
For a moment, the slightly cool wind didn't seem so biting.
Lu Jianing lowered his head and smiled: "You said one thing wrong."
Lu Jianing put away her previous teasing and said seriously: "In my heart, I am a police officer first, and secondly, I am myself."
He Qifeng tilted his head to observe her expression: "Have you thought it through?"
Lu Jianing looked at the riverside: "I never have to think about catching the murderer."
After that, Lu Jianing stretched out his voice and said, "If it really is him, I hope I can catch him back with my own hands."
"Well," He Qifeng did not object, "If you need help, you can contact me anytime."
"Don't tell me, I really have something and I need your help." Lu Jianing took a step closer and said.
"What help do you need?" He Qifeng stared at her and asked.
Lu Jianing: "Come to the capital and be my partner."
It was a cool night. The cold breeze pushed the thick clouds and silently covered the silver moonlight. The world went dark for a few seconds.
He Qifeng stared at her indifferently. He was like a cold stone sculpture, and no one could detect any emotion in him.
It was not until a few beams of pale moonlight shone down on Lu Jianing that He Qifeng felt a little dazed.
Noticing that He Qifeng didn't answer him, Lu Jianing immediately said, "Uncle Master, I know you are the pillar of Linjiang. The Linjiang Criminal Police Team cannot do without you. Director Wang is definitely not willing to let you go, but I need you too. Just think about it. I'm about to face the mastermind of such a large serial murder case. If I'm not careful, I might..."
"Okay." Lu Jianing didn't finish her outrageous words because He Qifeng interrupted her immediately.
"Ah?" Lu Jianing was a little confused for a moment, "You agreed?"
"Yes." He Qifeng nodded, "I will ask Director Wang about the transfer tomorrow."
"Puchi..." Lu Jianing laughed out loud, "I can already imagine what kind of expression Director Wang will have when the time comes." This book is exclusively compiled for you by the LK team
"It must be this long." Lu Jianing pointed at a place four or five centimeters below his chin.
He even put on a funny expression to vividly show Director Wang's appearance: "He will definitely say, Qifeng! Lu Jianing is a frivolous person. You are going to be her deputy. Do you think your life is too long?"
"Pfft—" He Qifeng couldn't help laughing, "Director Wang is not like what you said."
"He's like this every day," Lu Jianing said as if she was complaining, "When Director Wang and I first met, I just bumped into him by accident, and he hated me for most of his life."
He Qifeng: "The version I heard was that you were taking bird eggs from a tree at the police academy, and when he called you down from the tree, you didn't step firmly and fell directly from the tree, stepping on his waist and breaking it."
"I didn't break it!" Lu Jianing defended himself, "I just stayed in the hospital for half a month."
Lu Jianing became less and less confident as he spoke: "Besides, I didn't take the eggs. I was building a nest for the birds."
"Director Wang looks polite on the surface, but why is he framing others behind the scenes?"
The night wind passed between the two of them.
He Qifeng's slightly sleepy consciousness became more alert. He withdrew his gaze from Lu Jianing. He did not continue with Lu Jianing's words, but asked without any context, "Is the night view of the river beautiful?"
"Ah?" Lu Jianing didn't expect that his conversation would turn so abruptly. She even suspected that she had misheard. Lu Jianing took a long time to react before answering, "It looks... good."
"Compared to the imperial capital's wealth and glamour, Linjiang lacks a bit of prosperity," He Qifeng said, "but I like the tranquility here."
"What do you mean?" Lu Jianing didn't quite understand what He Qifeng meant, and she was shocked.
He wouldn't want to go back on his word.
He doesn't want to go back to the capital with her?
Then what was she doing in vain?
Lu Jianing said quickly, "Uncle Master, how can you go back on your word? Just because I talked about Director Wang behind his back, you're going to stand me up? You're not the type to do that."
"Then I will apologize to Director Wang. I will go to his house in the early morning to apologize with a thorn on my back. Please don't stand me up."
"I don't want to regret it," He Qifeng placed his hand lightly on Lu Jianing's head, "I will accompany you to the imperial capital."
"Oh." Lu Jianing breathed a sigh of relief, "You scared me."
He Qifeng stared at her for a long time and said, "Just now I just wanted to sigh. If it weren't for you, I might never go back to that disgusting place in my life."
"Hmm?" Lu Jianing was puzzled. "Uncle Master, are you also from the Imperial Capital?"
He Qifeng turned his head perfunctorily to look at the motorcycle behind Lu Jianing. He suddenly changed the subject: "Isn't your driver's license revoked?"
Lu Jianing immediately felt guilty and was no longer curious about the previous questions: "I appealed and got one point back, so I kept my driver's license."
Worried that He Qifeng wouldn't believe him, Lu Jianing added, "I've asked around, and it was the traffic police who deducted too many points. I was speeding and shouldn't be fined that much."
"How many helmets do you have?" He Qifeng asked.
"Two." Lu Jianing answered truthfully.
He Qifeng picked up Lu Jianing's helmet from the side and said, "I'll take you home."
"Ah?" Lu Jianing seemed to have discovered a new world, "Captain He, you can ride a motorcycle too?"
He Qifeng took out a driver's license from his pocket: "I have been driving for 10 years."
Lu Jianing's eyes sparkled: "That's amazing."
He Qifeng sat in the driver's seat, while Lu Jianing sat obediently in the back.
She handed her equipment to He Qifeng bit by bit: "These are gloves... wrist guards... elbow guards..."
He Qifeng was helpless: "Aren't you tired of carrying so many?"
"For safety." Lu Jianing said sincerely.
"I always thought you were the kind of person who wouldn't care about your life," He Qifeng said.
Lu Jianing was unconvinced and said, "Uncle Master, I'm telling you, you have a big misunderstanding of me."
He Qifeng ignored her: "You take these things, I just want the helmet."
He Qifeng said as he stepped on the accelerator: "Sit tight."
"Oh." Lu Jianing quickly put his arms around He Qifeng's waist.
The motorcycle sped past, the cold wind whistled, and Lu Jianing opened the plastic windshield on the helmet.
The buzzing sound penetrated the helmet and hurt Lu Jianing's eardrums.
He Qifeng's driving speed was not slow, it was even slightly faster.
"Ohhhhh——" Lu Jianing screamed in excitement, "It's like lightning!"
For a moment, Lu Jianing completely forgot all his worries.
"Ah——!" Lu Jianing, who was sitting in the back, stood up and shouted, "All the criminals, go to hell."
"Go! Die!"
Shouting out the depression in his heart, Lu Jianing felt that he had never been so relaxed: "Wuhu! It feels great!"
"Uncle Master, drive faster!"
As soon as Lu Jianing finished speaking, before He Qifeng could respond, she turned around and made eye contact with a man in a fluorescent green vest.
Lu Jianing swallowed his saliva and sat back weakly: ...
She patted He Qifeng who was sitting in the front seat and said anxiously in a voice that only she could hear: "Uncle Master, Uncle Master...don't speed up..."
"We... seem to be going to jail..."
