"Young lady, did you call the police?"
Sister Mi and Lao Zhang felt bad. The young girl was just a customer, yet she almost got implicated because of her.
Unexpectedly, this girl was both righteous and brave, daring to outwit and outmaneuver these thugs. I couldn't help but feel a bit of respect for her.
"It was my friend who notified the police. Sister Mi, who exactly is this Boss Tang, and why is he so arrogant?"
When these things were mentioned, Sister Mi and Old Zhang's faces once again turned gloomy.
"Mr. Tang is from Hong Kong, and his company specializes in OEM manufacturing for foreigners. Now that the new city has developed, they have moved their business from Hong Kong to here."
However, they were not from Xinshi and did not know that people here prefer to buy from familiar people rather than strangers.
They thought that by squeezing out and bankrupting small factories like ours, they could naturally take over all the business in Xinshi.
"Sigh, this is the second time they've come to cause trouble."
"Then why didn't you report it to the police?"
“I reported it last time, and the local police took the person away, but released him in a couple of days.”
Look, it's the same people as today. They have powerful connections, so they don't care at all.
“This time it will definitely be different. Sister Mi, Lao Zhang, just tell the truth. These are comrades from the Chengnan Public Security Bureau, and they will handle it impartially.”
"That's right, don't worry, cooperate with us in handling the case. We won't bend the law for personal gain." Qi Xiangmin, followed by Xiao Song and Qiao Muting, walked over just then.
"This time, we have to thank Comrade Qiao for notifying the military region in time, which prevented a serious incident."
Qi Xiangmin was secretly pleased. This month was a crucial time for him to be evaluated for outstanding performance and promoted.
Upon hearing that the call came from the military region, he was the first to lead his team over.
It was all fate. It just so happened that his buddy Rhoda was patrolling nearby with his men, so he called his disciplinary team over as well.
When he arrived at the scene, he was even happier.
There were also reporters!
Moreover, with both witnesses and physical evidence, the case is practically closed.
The big red flower and the award certificate seemed to have fallen from the sky and landed on his head.
Qi Xiangmin felt increasingly pleased with himself and turned to Qiao Muting and Qian Lai, saying, "When you come to Chengnan next time, remember to call me, Old Qi."
I really enjoy making friends with soldiers. Ah, I wanted to be a soldier when I was young, but unfortunately I didn't make it. So, I became a policeman.
Today I'll go back and conduct a surprise interrogation. Once the case is closed, I'll definitely treat you both to a meal to express my gratitude.
"We should be the ones thanking all of you."
Sister Mi and Lao Zhang shook hands with each other to express their gratitude.
Oh no! This is bad.
They then remembered that today was the day Qian Lai was to pick up the goods.
"Miss, I'm so sorry. This all happened so suddenly. If you're not in a hurry, give me two days. I'll make a new batch for you from the ones they ruined."
Qian Lai and Sister Mi agreed that Qian Lai would come to pick up the goods two days later.
The remaining officers took statements from each of the three officers before allowing them to meet.
When she saw Qiao Muting again, she almost burst out laughing.
Without bandages, Qiao Muting's tank top served as a fixation for his dislocated arm.
At this moment, the top three buttons of his shirt were undone, revealing his chest muscles through the bare fabric.
Qian Lai couldn't help but glance at it a couple more times, a slight smile appearing on her lips.
Qiao Muting was already incredibly embarrassed, and seeing her smile made him blush even more.
"Is the injury on your forearm healed?" After a long pause, he finally asked hesitantly.
Qian Lai subconsciously raised his hand.
It's all healed now, thanks to the nourishment of the divine spring water; not even a trace remains.
"Dr. Qiao, can you still drive with that arm?"
“It’s okay, I can drive. I have a driver’s license.” Meng Tianyu was very excited.
I rarely get to drive a car, and when I do go out for interviews, it's always the senior colleagues who drive.
He must not let this opportunity slip by.
After getting into the driver's seat, Qiao Muting explained the function of the various buttons to him and then went straight to the back seat.
"Aren't you going to go up and give him some guidance?" Qian Lai was a little embarrassed that he would sit next to her.
"The passenger seat is too narrow, and his hands won't be comfortable. Teacher Xiaoran, you have to trust my driving skills. I'll make sure you get there safely."
Meng Tianyu continued talking non-stop: "By the way, Comrade Qiao, where are you going? We'll take you there."
"Xiaoran, I have something I want to talk to you about. Can I treat you to a meal?"
Yes, she should have a serious talk with him. I wonder if he knows about his fiancée wanting to send the children away!
Qian Lai thought for a moment and said, "Then let's go back to the newspaper office. We can find a place nearby and take Tianyu back."
"good."
The jeep sped off, and soon Qiao Muting and Qian Lai realized that having Meng Tianyu drive was their biggest mistake.
With one foot on the gas and the other on the brake, each step plunged into Qian Lai's heart.
The strong smell of gasoline, coupled with his alternating "pupa" and "back massage," made Qian Lai feel like his head was about to explode, and a strong urge to vomit struck again.
"Tianyu, could you please drive slower? I get carsick."
Qiao Muting handed over his handkerchief: "It's clean, I haven't used it yet."
"Thank you." Qian Lai took the handkerchief and held it to her mouth and nose, a refreshing sandalwood scent filling her senses.
Would you like some water?
Qian Lai took the kettle, intending to drip two drops of the divine spring water into it when he wasn't looking, but unfortunately, the other man's eyes were full of concern, and he kept staring at him without missing a beat.
Seeing that she only took two sips before closing her eyes sadly again, Qiao Muting was very worried.
