"No, I know Xiaofan's personality. He's stubborn. I'm afraid he's waiting at home right now."
Before she came out today, she told the little one that she would not be delayed for too long and would go back early. The little one is very worrying, and he must be very worried if she did not go back overnight.
Pei Guoan heard what Li Miaomiao said: "Okay, then let's go back, otherwise I'm worried that Xiaofan won't be able to sleep well."
They each had a bicycle, but Pei Guoan did not ride his bicycle back.
It was so late, and even though there was moonlight outside, it was still dark. Pei Guoan was worried about Li Miaomiao riding a bike, so he rode Li Miaomiao's bike and sat behind her, holding Pei Guoan's waist.
"Pei Guoan, is Captain Lin against you?"
Although Lin Kun didn't say much during the midnight snack, and even spoke in a softer tone looking at Li Miaomiao, the ten delicate and well-behaved girls, Li Miaomiao still noticed it easily.
"You figured it out?"
"Of course. I, Li Miaomiao, am a person with sharp eyes and golden pupils. The aura between you two is not right. Captain Lin is very dissatisfied with you."
"Lin Kun isn't a bad person, he just has a bit of a temper. He also thinks I got into the bureau through connections, so he's already prejudiced against me. Besides, Deputy Director Guo is retiring at the end of the year, and when he does, he'll probably choose someone from among us captains to take over. If it comes down to seniority, Lin Kun has the best chance, but now that I'm in the bureau, I've become his biggest competitor."
After Pei Guoan said this, Li Miaomiao understood everything.
"No wonder. Not only did you get into the bureau through connections, but you're also trying to compete with him for the deputy director position. If I were you, I wouldn't like you either."
There was a hint of joking in Li Miaomiao's words. Although Pei Guoan got into the bureau through connections, with Pei Guoan's ability, he is more than qualified to be the captain. However, everyone has different perspectives and ideas, especially when there are conflicts of interest involved.
"I originally came to the bureau aiming for Deputy Director Guo's position, but considering it would be bad to replace him right away, I took a step back and became a team leader. When Deputy Director Guo retires, I'll legitimately take over. So I'm determined to get this position and there's no way I'm going to give it up."
Pei Guoan explained the situation to Li Miaomiao, but did not say that there were other reasons why he wanted this position.
"Then we must not give it up. Why? Even if Lin Kun is somewhat wronged, he is not as capable as you. The position of deputy director should be filled by the most capable. It is a very fair thing to do."
Hearing the words of Li Miaomiao's protection, Pei Guoan curled his lips
"Listen to Miaomiao, don't let me! This matter has actually been decided and has not been announced. Even if Lin Kun does something, it can't change the result."
Li Miaomiao was relieved, and then she remembered something and rolled her eyes. "I didn't expect there was a woman in your bureau, and she's a very powerful woman. She's a woman, and she can be the captain at this age. It's really admirable, don't you think, Pei Guoan?"
Of course not. Pei Guoan is not stupid. Only a fool would praise Zhou Shengnan. This is clearly a trap set by his wife to test him.
"Why are you mentioning her? I'm not familiar with her. She's a female comrade, and the director is quite considerate of her. We have different missions. Besides, I'm married now, and I've already told the director to avoid suspicion. We rarely go on missions together."
Li Miaomiao curled her lips and drew circles on Pei Guoan's back.
"Oh, you're quite self-aware then."
"As a married man, how can I not be self-aware? Wife, you should trust me a little more."
"But I think Captain Zhou treats you differently. The way he looks at you is different from others. After all, you are so beautiful, young and promising, and it is easy for people to take notice of you. You should be careful in the future and don't let others take advantage of you to blackmail you."
Li Miaomiao still has confidence in Pei Guoan's character, but she can't resist other women who want to stick to him, not to mention Captain Zhou, who is obviously not a reserved woman. Even though she knows that Pei Guoan is married, she doesn't restrain herself at all and keeps her eyes on Pei Guoan.
"Listen, don't worry, my wife, I don't like anyone else except you."
It was already past ten o'clock in the evening when we returned to Fanglin Village. The village was pitch black, and only a few dogs could be heard barking occasionally.
When they arrived home, Li Miaomiao saw that the gate was not locked and there was a dim light in the yard. As soon as they got out of the car, the gate was opened.
"I'm back."
Old Mrs. Pei was holding Pei Yifan's hand and holding an oil lamp in her hand.
"Mom, you guys haven't slept yet."
"It's not that Xiaofan is worried. I originally wanted him to stay with us, but he insisted on staying at home and waiting for you to come back. I couldn't bear to leave such a small person at home, so I stayed with him."
Li Miaomiao felt soft in her heart when she heard this and looked towards Pei Yifan
"Xiao Fan, if Mommy doesn't come home so late in the future, she must have gone out for something. You should stay with your grandparents. You are still too young and it is not safe for you to be alone."
Pei Yifan did not answer this question. Instead, he walked up to Li Miaomiao and hugged her arm lovingly: "Mom, did something happen today? Why did you come back so late?"
Pei Yifan knew very well that even if his mother wanted to go find his father and come back together, she would come back in the evening at the latest. She wouldn't be so late. There must be a reason.
Li Miaomiao didn't want to scare Pei Yifan, so she just said, "I was originally going to wait for your dad to come back, and we had agreed on that, but then a case suddenly came up and your dad had to go deal with it, so I ended up waiting too late."
Li Miaomiao said this and looked at Old Lady Pei again: "Mom, thanks to you and Dad being here, otherwise I would really be worried about Xiaofan being home alone."
"We two old people can't help you with anything else, but we can still help you take care of the child. Besides, Xiaofan is smart and sensible, so it's not a big deal to take care of him. Instead, he helps us a lot." Old Mrs. Pei is eager to take care of her darling grandson more.
"It's so late, let's all go to bed first. We can talk tomorrow if we have anything to say."
Such a big case happened in the county, Pei Guoan went out early in the morning, and he did not forget to lay two eggs for Li Miaomiao in the morning.
When Li Miaomiao went to the soap workshop, she specifically went to find Zhang Degen and Accountant Wu to talk about this matter.
"Uncle Degen, something like this has happened, and the murderer hasn't been caught yet. Tell everyone in the village to be careful when going out, especially women. It's best to avoid going to the county town. Even if you do go, you must travel with a group to ensure your safety. The murderer is very cruel."
Zhang Degen and Accountant Wu were both shocked when they heard this. They didn't expect such a big thing to happen in the county.
"This murderer is too cruel. I will hold a meeting later. Comrades, please be careful. Although this case happened in the county, our countryside may not be completely safe." Zhang Degen was still very vigilant about this.
