32 A Slightly Open Heart | Blushing Allergicly
After reading the main points of the verdict, Lin Weifeng traced back and found in the investigation file records that Zhao Qiming was not arrested for any specific criminal behavior.
At that time, Zhao Qiming got two large checks and traveled to all the European countries.
When he was discovered by the public security authorities, he was on vacation in Lanxi Country, saying that he wanted to hide from the public.
In the interrogation record, the police officer asked: "What are you trying to hide from?"
Zhao Qiming: "Operation Hundred Flowers, this is too big of an undertaking to organize. I don't want to participate."
"But you provided them with clues, helped them establish a stronghold in the museum, transported cultural relics abroad, and helped them obstruct the police."
"Don't talk nonsense," Zhao Qiming said, his voice agitated. "I only have a basic understanding of cultural relics. I know the museum's surveillance layout and explosion-proof facilities. I helped them with clues about cultural relics and logistics. As for the dead police officer, I have nothing to do with him."
"Who told you that a police officer died?"
"The secret agent told me to stay abroad and not come back because a policeman died and the matter has become a big deal." Zhao Qiming curled his lips, and there was a hint of timidity in his straightforward words.
Soon, Zhao Qiming reacted: "He's not dead, right?"
The interrogating officer gave him a positive answer, but added, "He's seriously injured and can't be a police officer anymore."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk," Zhao Qiming's lips trembled. "I did this with those guys because I thought they only cared about money and didn't want to hurt anyone. And yet, they even hurt a police officer. But I have to say again, it has nothing to do with me. I was just an accomplice at best. Don't charge me with a serious crime."
In this transcript, Lin Weifeng saw "Operation Hundred Flowers" for the second time.
Her brows were tightly furrowed, her eyes full of purpose, and she was completely unaware that Jiang Yu had finished the call and walked behind her.
Then, it was the growling of her stomach that pulled her back to reality from the world of files.
"Are you hungry?" Jiang Yu asked gently.
Lin Weifeng sat up slightly, and the random movement intensified the gurgling of her stomach, making it even louder, so she replied, "Maybe."
The two were silent for a while, and Jiang Yu asked, "Do you really want to know what happened in Operation Hundred Flowers?"
She really wanted to know, because the newspaper only reported the result of the action - Lin Haidong was injured, but there was no report on why Lin Haidong was injured.
There is no entry with these four words on the website, and there is not even any folk rumor about the action.
She could guess what Jiang Yu knew.
But she only asked Jiang Yu: "Is the job of a sharpshooter in the Interpol detachment always dangerous?"
"The word 'danger' is both too small and too big," Jiang Yu's voice deepened. "Everyone in this building could have a smooth life, or they could die at some point. That moment could be a shocking large-scale transnational crime, or just a minor street fight."
Lin Weifeng asked: "Are you scared?"
“People are brave when they have ideals, and they are afraid when they have weaknesses.”
"What is your ideal?"
Jiang Yu said, "Someone told me that studying history strengthens one's sense of responsibility, and that studying law is about fulfilling that sense of responsibility one day. I'm deeply inspired, and I also want to one day point my gun at those who deliberately cause the loss of cultural relics."
"You also want to help the cultural relics return home."
"If you need me, if I can."
"So what's your weakness?"
"Yes..." Jiang Yu paused for a moment before continuing, "Not yet."
Lin Weifeng tilted his head: "No?"
"Should there be?"
Lin Weifeng said pointedly, "On TV dramas, it's usually the wife, the kids... and the 'girlfriend'."
"Girlfriend," Jiang Yu smiled. "My future girlfriend is very strong. I used to think she was a princess, pursuing happiness, but gradually I realized that she is indeed a princess, but her inner pursuit is to be the queen of a certain field. So, I don't want to use the word 'weakness' to refer to her."
Lin Weifeng looked at him in a daze.
Jiang Yu continued: "So you asked me if I was afraid, and my answer right now is, no."
After a moment of silence, someone pushed the door open.
Lin Weifeng suddenly turned around and faced the person who came in.
Jiang Yu appeared at the door, bewildered, and held the other person's hand, saying, "Su Tian, why are you here?"
By the time he finished speaking, his face had already turned completely red.
"What the hell?" Su Tian felt that this question was baffling. "Didn't you say I would bring you two boxed lunches?"
As Su Tian was talking, he naturally noticed a girl sitting on the chair and said in a sarcastic tone: "I thought you had a meeting all day and wanted to have a big meal, but I didn't expect you to bring food for a girl."
Jiang Yu quickly took the lunch box from him and said, "Thank you."
"You should be thanking me. Do you know how hungry everyone was after the meeting? The cafeteria didn't even prepare enough. I asked for these two boxes because I wasn't full."
Su Tian teased him deliberately, and asked with his eyes: [Who is it?]
Jiang Yu pushed his arm with a force that was contrary to his gaze, trying to push him back out the door.
Su Tian fought against him and refused to leave.
Jiang Yu whispered to him, "I'll treat you to a meal some other day."
Su Tian nudged him with his elbow: "Eating is so boring, gossip is more interesting."
Jiang Yu advised him bluntly: "You got married early, so don't worry too much about this kind of thing."
"What you said," Su Tian became excited, "I'm very interested. Girlfriend?" Jiang Yu shook his head.
Su Tian: "Wow, even the 'Police Beauty' can't take her down."
Jiang Yu: “…”
Su Tian: "I really need some advice from people who got married early."
“…”
Jiang Yu pursed his lips and smiled at him deliberately, then increased the strength of his hands and pushed Su Tian into the crack of the door with a loud "Hmm?"
Finally, Su Tian raised his voice and said, "Policewoman, let me tell you, you need me so badly. Your face is so red right now. It's not just because you're shy around girls, it's because you're allergic to girls! How can you handle me like this?"
With a bang, the door finally closed.
Jiang Yu carried two lunch boxes and walked towards his desk, looking back every two steps, afraid...
Don't be afraid anymore. Su Tian opened the door again and said, "I remembered, 'wait for the wind to blow over'. She is the wind you are waiting for, right?"
Before he could finish his words, Jiang Yu pushed him out again, just like before.
This time he locked the door, walked straight to the table, opened the lid of the lunch box, put it in front of Lin Weifeng, and handed her a pair of disposable chopsticks.
Lin Weifeng took it gently, lowered his head, said nothing, and kept wrapping his fingers around the belt of his coat.
In an instant, Jiang Yu didn't dare to move, and asked tentatively: "Are you... angry?"
Lin Weifeng shook his head, but still said nothing.
Jiang Yu explained in a disjointed manner, "I heard your stomach growling in the hall. We had just finished a meeting and hadn't eaten yet, so the cafeteria prepared some food. Then I asked that colleague to bring two boxes. He... does like to joke around, but I promise, he didn't mean any harm."
His voice gradually lowered as he spoke, and he sighed, "I'm sorry. Even if I didn't mean any harm, it's still not nice to play a joke on you."
Hearing this, Lin Weifeng stood up with one hand on the edge of the table and faced Jiang Yu.
"I'm not angry," she said. "I'm just afraid that my face will get redder, and I'll seem less rational, objective, calm, and collected, and that I'm also allergic to men. Wouldn't that mean I've lost?"
When it comes to liking something, the more you like it, the more likely you are to fail completely.
Jiang Yu was silent for two or three seconds, looking at her flushed face. Finally, a smile appeared on his face and he breathed a sigh of relief. He said, "You want to beat me? Isn't it easy?"
"Not necessarily." Lin Weifeng said.
Jiang Yu lowered his eyebrows, his tone relaxed but firm as he said, "Of course, Lin Weifeng."
Lin Weifeng didn't argue with him about this. He sat down and said, "Let's eat. I'm really hungry."
She pointed to his portion and said, "Let's eat together."
Jiang Yu said, "Okay."
Lin Weifeng took a mouthful of rice, and his ordinary and common "OK" made her feel that the rice in the plastic box was very sweet.
Jiang Yu picked up a piece of food and noticed that Lin Weifeng's free hand was always stroking his hair while chewing.
He coughed dryly and called out, "Lin Weifeng."
Lin Weifeng looked at him: "Huh? The food in your company is quite delicious."
Jiang Yu smiled and said, "Open the drawer."
Lin Weifeng puffed her lips, looked down at the drawer on her chest, and opened it as he instructed. "This drawer?"
"Um."
As the gap widened, Lin Weifeng saw a small box with beautiful packaging.
Jiang Yu said, "I hired someone to do it after I finished my last Daote operation in Lanxi."
Lin Weifeng was a little happy: "For me?"
Jiang Yu curled his lips: "You have to be so blunt."
Lin Weifeng smiled.
She took out the small box, opened it carefully, and saw a blue-purple hairband with a hyacinth flower pattern inside.
"Hyacinth?" Lin Weifeng looked at him.
"Well, the clothes you returned to me smelled of hyacinths."
My heart is pounding.
It was like a ball of snow falling on me, making me feel dizzy with joy.
What touched Lin Weifeng's heart was his determination to devote himself to the game and the warmth he brought with love.
Jiang Yu said, "If your hair is in the way, tie it up before eating." After that, he started eating without paying attention to her reaction.
When he raised his head, he found that there was already a hairband on Lin Weifeng's hair.
"Like..." Jiang Yu wanted to ask, but couldn't bring himself to ask, so he changed the subject to, "Does it have a bit of a straight male aesthetic?"
Lin Weifeng answered directly: "Jiang Yu, I like it."
Jiang Yu tilted his head and smiled.
The two of them ate their lunch boxes quietly for a while, their hearts full.
When they were almost done eating, Su Tian knocked on the door again, but this time he wasn't joking. He said, "Lao Jiang, your teacher is leaving. Can you come out and see him off?"
Lin Weifeng looked at him with a hint of confusion. He did not avoid the news and nodded at her.
Jiang Yu opened the door and led Lin Weifeng into the hall.
At that time, Lin Haidong and Director Zhang were standing side by side in front of the gate and talking about something.
Lin Weifeng stopped not far from them. She didn't know how many years had passed. This was the first time she saw Lin Haidong wearing a police uniform.
But with one sleeve empty, he looked a little disappointed.
Jiang Yu walked forward.
When Lin Haidong looked back at him, his eyes accidentally met Lin Weifeng's, and he was surprised to see him stop there.
Lin Weifeng called out softly, "Dad."
"Why are you here?" Lin Haidong asked.
"I'm working on a case and came here to find some information."
Lin Haidong's gaze shifted to Jiang Yu for a moment, then returned to Lin Weifeng amid Director Zhang's greetings.
Director Zhang: "She's your daughter, right? The last time I saw her, she was just a baby. In the blink of an eye, she's grown into a lady from a wealthy family."
Lin Haidong and Director Zhang exchanged a few words.
After a few minutes, Lin Haidong said to Lin Weifeng, "Why are you standing there? Go home."
Lin Weifeng trotted forward and timidly followed Lin Haidong out of the hall.
