The arrogant and domineering Fourth Young Master Ye had to lower his face and run around seeking capital injection.
However, Ye's was too big and its share price had fallen so sharply that everyone said they were powerless and unwilling to easily invest money in this sinking ship. Even the banks with which Ye Zixiao had always had a good relationship said that if Ye Zixiao could not stabilize the stock price and credit rating in the short term, they would have to recall the huge amount of loans they had made in the early stage.
The only person willing to inject funds was Zhang Shiyong. But what he wanted to buy was the entire Ye family, and the conditions were extremely harsh.
Ye Zixiao replied to the negotiator he sent: "Get lost."
Ye Zixiao was prepared for bankruptcy.
At this time, Ye Jin in prison asked to see him.
She has always been the most sober person in the entire Ye family, and has always protected the Ye family in her own way and with all her strength. This time is no exception.
"Zixiao, Ye's is not as bad as you think. A lean camel is bigger than a horse. The old foundation is still there, and there are still many high-quality assets and business networks. As long as we survive this crisis, it will be easy to make a comeback. Anyone with a little investment vision can do the math. No one is willing to invest now, and they all want to take advantage of the situation and lower the price of your share transfer."
"I have a college classmate whose husband is a wealthy businessman living in Hong Kong and is very influential in Southeast Asia. You can try to contact him. I heard that this person is very wealthy and very shrewd in business. Be prepared, maybe his offer will be more demanding than Zhang Shiyong's. But since he is a professional investor, he will not want to swallow up the management rights of Ye's. As long as he is willing to invest in resuscitating Ye's, what we lose today, we can earn back in the future."
——
Ye Zixiao quickly got in touch with the Hong Kong tycoon.
Just as Ye Jin expected, the other party's asking price was even higher than Zhang Shiyong's. However, it only purchased 40% of Ye’s shares and also put forward future exit conditions. In other words, as long as Ye Zixiao can make enough money in the future, he can buy back these shares.
On the day when representatives of both parties signed the agreement, Ye Zixiao personally called the other party.
The wealthy businessman's surname was Chen, and his tone was very easy-going, which made Ye Zixiao feel no pressure. After chatting for a few sentences, Ye Zixiao couldn't help but ask: "Why are you willing to trust me?"
Mr. Chen smiled and replied: "Not every young person has the experience of falling from the top to the bottom like you have."
Ye Zixiao felt bitter in his heart. He was silent for a moment and replied, "Thank you. I won't let you down."
Cutting flesh to feed the tiger, you can survive in desperate situation, but the road ahead will be bumpy.
For many years thereafter, Ye Zixiao's life was filled with the trading and pursuit of money, power, and profit. The youthful recklessness, love, confusion, frustration and wanton pursuit of self-worth all became as silent as stagnant water and insignificant in the face of Ye's heavy burden.
But at that time he didn't expect that a few days later, because of Mr. Chen, he would meet Xu Xu again - this girl who had become out of his reach; this girl who, many years later, still made him feel a little pain in his heart when he thought of her.
——
It was a Saturday afternoon, the sun was shining, the city of Lin was calm, and the streets were filled with leisurely men and women.
Ji Bai was sitting alone in an empty office, surfing the Internet, with a cup of tea and a box of takeout in his hands.
Old Wu had something to do and came to the office temporarily. When he saw him, he smiled and asked, "Aren't you with your girlfriend?"
Ji Bai wanted to accompany her. As a criminal policeman, he would be extremely busy when there was a case, and had no private time at all; these few days were a rare time of relaxation, so he naturally wanted to bring Xu Xu with him, to spend time with him at any time and cultivate their relationship. But Xu Xu was busier than him and was not seen even on weekends.
After Old Wu left, Ji Bai sat for a while, then simply picked up the car keys and drove to the police academy where Xu Xu was.
——
It was afternoon, and the neat and solemn campus was filled with dappled sunlight and swaying shadows of the trees. People come and go in the brown teaching building. Ji Bai walked around the building and easily found Xu Xu, who was working hard, in a small office.
Xu Xu came to attend a special report meeting in the college today at the professor's request and was preparing materials. Seeing Ji Bai suddenly appear, he was a little surprised, but frowned and said, "The meeting will start soon, and it will take at least three hours."
Ji Bai sat down opposite her calmly: "It's okay, I'm also very interested in the content of your meeting, so I came to listen by the way."
After he said that, Xu Xu ignored him and lowered his head to continue working.
Ji Bai picked up the document on the table and flipped through it: "On the Long-term Planning and Computer Application of Secondary Criminal Psychology Database" - Not interested. He simply rested his hands on the back of the chair and looked at his girlfriend.
Because he was attending a professional conference at school today, Xu Xu wore a black suit that made his skin look as white as snow. Perhaps because he had been in the office for too long, his face was a little red. His smooth short hair fell on his forehead, making him look cute...
Xu Xu suddenly looked up at him, her face seemed to get even redder, and she frowned: "Can you go back first? If you're here, I'll be distracted."
——
Ji Bai, who was driven downstairs, leaned against the car and lit a cigarette. Thinking of her slightly embarrassed and impatient look just now, he smiled slightly and didn't want to leave immediately.
The two of them had been together for just two weeks, and Xu Xu was already very considerate and attentive to him, and more feminine than he had expected - she insisted on making breakfast for him every morning; she would remind him of changes in the weather; and when they were intimate, she would be gentle and cooperative, and even take the initiative - although she was still at the kissing and hugging stage.
She was neither bashful nor delicate, but so straightforward and sincere that it made him feel a little distressed. And most of the time, she wanted to do everything a boyfriend should do - thinking of this, Ji Bai's smile deepened.
However, Ji Bai knew that he was still far from truly winning Xu Xu's heart.
——
Ji Bai looks reserved and calm, but deep down he is a person with a strong desire to conquer. When he left Beijing and joined the Lin City police force, you could see the rebellious and competitive side of his character.
This is true for men towards their careers, and also for women.
He wanted to conquer Xu Xu.
This kind of conquest did not mean to be superior to Xu Xu, nor did it mean to make her lose her independence - he liked her independence and admired her strength.
He just hopes that one day, his woman will be obsessed with him both physically and mentally. Two people love each other deeply and are irreplaceable - that is the ideal state of love. And towards Xu Xu, his desire was becoming stronger.
Although Xu Xu also likes him now, she seems to treat love as something like work and study. She plans and devotes herself to it step by step, and is very calm and composed.
It seems that if he wants Xu Xu to love him deeply and passionately, he still has a tough battle to fight.
——
Ji Bai stood downstairs for a while. It was almost time for the special meeting, and more and more students entered the teaching building, including several school leaders.
Ji Bai also knew them, and after a while of greetings, one of them asked, "Captain Ji, what's the matter with you coming here today?"
Ji Bai glanced at the notice of the special meeting posted on the wall and replied with a smile: "I came here to do something, and I've already finished it. I saw this special meeting and was quite interested. I just wonder if it's convenient for me to sit in on it?"
——
The lecture started on time, and the multimedia classroom, which could accommodate hundreds of people, was packed.
Xu Xu thought Ji Bai had already left, so he sat in the work area and prepared attentively. She was the first to go on stage to give a special report. Before she went on stage, the host introduced the leaders present, and was particularly excited and honored to highlight a leader who was invited temporarily: "Captain Ji Baiji of the Municipal Criminal Police Team, everyone applaud and welcome Captain Ji to come and give guidance!"
The lights were bright, and Xu Xu had originally decided not to care about Ji Bai in the audience. However, his position was too conspicuous - in the middle of the first row, facing her. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, his two eyes, with a faint smile on them, never left her face the entire time.
Xu Xu's performance was fairly stable, his words were clear and his face expressionless throughout. But when I was leaving the stage, the junior fellow student next to me said, "Sister... drink some water, don't be nervous."
Xu Xu: "I'm not nervous."
The junior brother glanced at her red face and said, "Oh."
——
The meeting was coming to an end, and Ji Bai could not refuse, so he was invited to the stage to answer questions raised by students.
Xu Xu lowered his head at first and didn't look at him, but after hearing his deep and powerful voice and his concise answers to several professional questions, which drew applause from the whole room, he couldn't help but look up.
Under the lights, he was still wearing a long-sleeved casual T-shirt, but he stood tall on the stage, with a solemn face, sharp eyes, and a calm and cold aura all around him, attracting everyone's attention.
After staring at him for a while, Xu Xu decided to forgive him for his abuse of power and his public teasing.
——
Ten minutes after the meeting, Xu Xu got into Ji Bai's car.
Zhao Han and his girlfriend are holding an engagement ceremony at a hotel tonight, and they will invite familiar colleagues from the police station.
Because there were colleagues from other departments with him, in order to avoid suspicion, after parking the car, Xu Xu went upstairs first. Ji Bai saw her carrying a big bag and asked, "Are you not going to throw it in the car?"
Xu Xu shook his head calmly: "I need to change my clothes."
Ji Bai saw that the black suit was indeed inappropriate for her, so he didn't care. He sat in the car for a while before slowly walking up.
The ceremony was held in the hotel's open-air garden, with a quiet night and bright lights. There were a lot of people, and everywhere you looked, there were men and women in ragged clothes. Ji Bai stood at the entrance and looked for a while, but couldn't find Xu Xu. At this time, Da Hu, Lao Wu and others who were sitting on a row of beach chairs in the corner called out to him, "Boss, this way."
As soon as Ji Bai walked over and sat down, Da Hu bumped his arm with his hand and whispered, "Wear a skirt."
☆、38
The first impression Xu Xu gives is that she doesn't pay much attention to dressing up. She always wears a blazer and shirt to work and casual clothes and sportswear after get off work, and she never wears makeup. Coupled with the slightly indifferent expression, it seems even more plain and dull.
But in fact, Xu Xu is quite particular about dressing. It’s just that she is particular about always following the style she thinks is appropriate.
For example, she would buy herself exquisite mature women's pajamas, which are comfortable and slightly sexy, and quite feminine;
Her sportswear is carefully selected. Most of the fabrics are light, breathable, waterproof, and quick-drying. They are high-tech sports products. However, there are not many styles of sportswear, so they don’t look fancy.
She deliberately dressed seriously and a little old-fashioned for work - the image of the people's police is mostly tall, mature and reliable, and she is very aware that she looks relatively thin and young, which makes it difficult for citizens to trust her, so she can only make up for it slightly with her dressing style.
I don’t usually wear skirts, naturally for the convenience of movement. In fact, there are dozens of skirts that Xu Jun buys for her on a whim from time to time, enough to meet the functional and ornamental needs of various occasions.
For example, at this moment, she was wearing a black V-neck hollow backless long dress and black high-heeled sandals, standing in the beverage area with a calm expression, drinking water.
In fact, there were many tall, pretty and youthful girls present, so Xu Xu's outfit was not eye-catching.
But a lot of people are already watching her.
Her skin is extremely white and thin, and against the backdrop of the black long skirt with flowing dark light, it looks even more unusually white and cold; the design of the skirt is also generous and bold. Although there is a hollow pattern, the whole white and smooth back is still half hidden and half visible. Although not much is exposed, she looks even hotter than those girls with long legs and slim figure.
This skirt was from a luxury brand that Xu Jun bought. In order to make it suitable for her, he even asked someone to make it smaller in the waist and shorter in the hem, so that it fits her perfectly. Although she is petite overall, her chest is her chest, waist is her waist, and hips are her hips. The exquisite and soft curves are outlined smoothly and delicately.
…
The big bearded man made a few "tsk tsk tsk" sounds, but without saying anything, he raised his glass and toasted Ji Bai.
Ji Bai was a little distracted at first, but now he smiled slightly and clinked glasses with Da Hu.
He drank the wine slowly, but his eyes always followed her curves, lingering silently.
She really dares to wear it.
——
Those who attended the engagement party included Zhao Han’s friends and classmates, as well as the girl’s relatives and friends. The open-air garden is shaded by clear water, with dim lights and people everywhere.
Ji Bai, Da Hu and a few other big men sat in a corner, eating, drinking and chatting. Occasionally someone would come to greet them, and it was quite quiet and comfortable.
Xu Xu only stood there for a while before he was pulled over by Zhao Han's fiancée Manman and sat with her group of girlfriends. After a while, Manman asked Xu Xu to go get some food.
Tonight is not a traditional table banquet, but an open buffet. The restaurant is on the first floor, with doors opening onto the garden. The two of them picked up the dishes with plates and went to the teppanyaki grill area in the corner. Because it was summer, there were not many people eating barbecue. The barbecue chef in a white coat and a tall hat stood leisurely with his hands behind his back and smiled at the two people.
Manman muttered, "Zhao Han likes grilled squid the most." Then she started to choose.
Xu Xu stood beside her with his hands behind his back and watched for a while, then looked up and said to the cook, "Can I use your tools and ingredients to bake it myself?"
——
Several key members of the branch below came over to toast, Ji Bai drank with them one by one, and exchanged a few words. After they left, Ji Bai looked up and found that Xu Xu was not sitting in his seat.
The criminal police’s eye detection ability should certainly not be underestimated. Ji Bai looked around and found the petite and lovely figure in the restaurant next to the garden.
But...she's grilling food?
In the restaurant surrounded by trees and separated by a transparent glass wall, the lights are bright orange and yellow, and there is a wide variety of food.
Xu Xu lowered his head, standing in front of a large black grill plate with a focused look, his hands busy in an orderly manner.
She had put on a very large and ill-fitting white coat at some point, and a crooked hat on her head. The real chef and Zhao Han's girlfriend both stood by and watched her cook with a smile.
At this time, Da Hu said, "I'm going to get some hard food to fill my stomach. Do you want some?"
Ji Bai's smile deepened: "I'll wait a little longer."
After a while, she took off her cook's clothes, followed Manman with food, and walked slowly towards the table.
——
Sitting at this table now are a few acquaintances of Old Wu and Zhao Han. They all know about Ji Bai and Xu Xu, but they have never pointed it out. Da Hu even pretended to pull a chair and placed it between him and Ji Bai, and said, "Xu Xu, come and sit over here."
Everyone had smiles in their eyes, Ji Bai also smiled, leaning back in the wide chair with a relaxed posture, staring at his little woman with deep eyes.
Xu Xu still strictly adhered to the principle of "low-key and confidentiality". He sat down next to Ji Bai with an indifferent expression, put down a full plate of food, and did not invite him to eat.
Manman said with a smile: "This was baked by Xu Xu himself. I tried a piece and it tasted better than the one baked by the chef."
Everyone then looked down and saw that everything was indeed tender and attractive, with fresh color and a fragrant aroma.
Ji Bai looked at the plate of food, then at the little woman with her head lowered beside him... She was truly a beauty that made the man feel extremely comfortable.
But before he even started to eat, Da Hu had already picked up a small piece of steak and stuffed it into his mouth. His expression suddenly looked a little intoxicated: "Xu Xu, you have learned cooking, right? It's delicious!"
In fact, Xu Xu has no special talent for cooking. It’s just that she is very meticulous and patient. After reading a recipe once, she can make the dish naturally. In addition, the things she baked were all Ji Bai's favorites, so she had done some special research on them before.
Just watching Da Hu fork off another largest piece of tenderloin and put it into his mouth, Xu Xu's brows twitched slightly, and then Zhao Han also took a piece and praised it.
Ji Bai and Xu Xu looked at each other.
Just as Xu Xu was about to speak, Ji Bai had already pulled the plate towards him, and said with a half-smile, "Is this roasted for you guys to eat?"
Everyone laughed, and Xu Xu's face silently became hot. Ji Bai picked up the chopsticks and started to eat alone. He reached under the table and quietly held her hand.
——
Later, a leader called Ji Bai over to talk, but he didn't come back for a while. Manman pulled Xu Xu to her table to chat. Xu Xu sat there for a while. The girls talked about cosmetics and gossip. It was really boring, so she took a glass of water and got up to stroll in the garden.
There was a pool of flowing water in front of him. Xu Xu walked over and saw a few young girls standing by the pool and chatting under the lights. The one in the middle wearing a red long skirt and with a beautiful smile is Yao Meng.
The night that Ji Bai rejected her, Yao Meng was caught in the rain for a long time. I caught a cold on the day I returned to Lin City. Perhaps it was because I was physically and mentally exhausted, I felt sick ever since and even took several days of sick leave. I will be back to work next Monday after my vacation, and today I came here specially to attend Zhao Han's engagement ceremony.
Several girls also saw Xu Xu not far away. One of the girls from the Scripture and Cultural Heritage Department asked Yao Meng in a low voice: "I heard that Xu Xu is dating Ji Bai? Is it true? I can't tell."
Yao Meng took a look at Xu Xu's outfit, and her heart silently twitched. She felt a little choked up, and replied with a smile: "I'm not sure."
The girls exchanged greetings with Xu Xu and then left. Because Yao Meng took leave due to a cold, no one in the criminal police team took it too seriously. Now Xu Xu saw that Yao Meng's face was still a little pale, so he naturally asked with concern: "Are you better from your cold?"
Yao Meng really didn't want to talk to her. She stared at the water beside her, smiled, and replied, "It's okay."
Xu Xu was startled. Yao Meng's smile was very shallow, almost a flash, but she clearly captured that there were too many emotions hidden in that smile. A little sad, a little self-deprecating, and also a little sarcastic and disgusted.
Neither of them spoke. Yao Meng didn't even look at her and turned away.
After standing there for a while, the phone rang. It was a text message from Ji Bai: "Come back."
Xu Xu replied: "Okay."
——
The car was running in the quiet night. Ji Bai was in a good mood. He glanced at the woman beside him from time to time with a faint smile on his face.
After a while, Xu Xu asked, "Have you rejected Yao Meng?"
Ji Bai put his hands on the steering wheel and replied calmly: "Yeah."
Xu Xu didn't ask any more questions.
——
When we arrived downstairs of Xu Xu's house, it was quiet and deserted. Xu Xu smiled and turned to look at Ji Bai, calmly waiting for the farewell kiss.
Ji Bai laughed, put one arm on the back of her seat, pinched her face with the other hand, and leaned over to kiss her.
The kiss was as quiet and sweet as always. Ji Bai just glanced to the side and saw her slender white shoulders and the soft and white lines of her back. My heart, which had been aroused by this vivid scene all night, suddenly became more and more unbearable.
His kisses slowly slid down her cheek and toward her neck, and he whispered, "Xu Xu, sit on me."
Xu Xu shrank his neck back to avoid his hot lips and tongue.
If Xu Xu could be described as "wise yet foolish" in other aspects, when it comes to relationships between men and women, she is truly as simple as can be.
Whenever she hugged and kissed Ji Bai, her heart would beat faster and her face would get hot, but her attitude was relatively calm and composed. Moreover, the level of intimacy these days may not be enough for Ji Bai, but it is already very satisfying and enjoyable for her.
The request that Ji Bai put forward now clearly had a touch of sexual color, which meant that there would be more intimate physical contact, which was not even to the same level as kissing. This naturally makes her nervous and hesitant.
Ji Bai took in her embarrassed and awkward expression, still holding her between his body and the seat, staring at her with amusement in his black eyes, without saying a word. After a while, her face flushed, but her eyes showed a resolute look: "Come."
——
In the narrow carriage, Xu Xu sat on his lap, with her arms around his neck, and tilted her face up to receive the kiss. Ji Bai felt her soft body pressed against him, and he felt dizzy and intoxicated. This made his kiss even stronger and more passionate, and the big hands that were originally around her waist couldn't help but move along the smooth curve towards her chest.
As soon as he lightly touched the soft and elastic ball, he felt Xu Xu's body stiffen, and he reached out and slapped his hand away: "Don't push your luck."
Ji Bai laughed silently, and with a little force, he pressed her into his arms, and kissed her along her lips, all the way to her neck and shoulders. Xu Xu's face flushed, and he closed his eyes, his eyelashes trembling slightly. Ji Bai kissed her for a while, then quietly put his hand on her chest.
——
When Xu Xu opened the door and got out of the car, her skirt was disheveled and her face was flushed. Ji Bai's face also turned slightly red. He put his arm around her with a faint smile and walked towards the door of the building.
After taking a few steps, Ji Bai raised his eyes and looked at a black BMW parked about ten meters away.
Xu Xu also saw it and remained silent.
Ji Bai asked in a low voice: "Do you want me to accompany you?"
Xu Xu replied: "No, you go first."
Ji Bai nodded, let go of her and got back into the car, but did not start the car. He reached into his pocket for a cigarette, but took out a box of chewing gum that Xu Xu had stuffed in his mouth. He smiled slightly, put a piece of gum in his mouth, and quietly looked at Xu Xu outside the car.
The rear door of the BMW opened and Ye Zixiao got out.
——
When he saw Ye Zixiao again, Xu Xu just smiled and waited for him to speak.
Ye Zixiao looked down at her.
Looking at Xu Xu like this, her extremely feminine outfit, her calm but obviously bright eyes, Ye Zixiao felt a little happy for her, but also a little sad. But these feelings were only very mild, and when the words came out, they became gentle and calm.
"How is it going?"
Xu Xu nodded: "What about you?"
Ye Zixiao replied: "I'm fine too." It couldn't be better.
After another moment of silence, Ye Zixiao smiled and said, "Will there be any cross-border joint anti-crime operations between China and Myanmar in the near future?"
Xu Xu remained silent. Recently, she also heard that the Ministry of Public Security has plans to contact Myanmar to hunt down people related to the "Lu Ge" criminal group across the border. But of course I can’t tell Ye Zixiao this.
Ye Zixiao continued, "I recently cooperated with a friend in Southeast Asia. He is a patriotic businessman with some underworld background and some friends in Myanmar. He heard clues related to your case, but it was inconvenient for him to come forward, so he asked me to pass a message to the police."
The author has something to say: Hehe, I was very careful about what I ate today and I didn’t feel nauseous in the afternoon. Thank you all for your concern. Tomorrow's update may still be in the evening, let me slow down a bit, love you guys!
The plot and romance in the later part will be accelerated. In order to make it up to everyone, I wrote two short plays, please accept them. The first one is about the male and female protagonists, but it’s okay to watch it; the second one is about Bei Yao’s brother. Many readers requested that Brother Beiyao have more scenes, but I didn’t want to add them to the main text, otherwise readers who haven’t read “Mercy City” would have difficulty reading it. However, we can write some small dramas from time to time and put them in the author's words. Those who are interested can read them. It does not affect the main text, okay~~

Small Theater——Truth or Dare
At Zhao Han's engagement ceremony, Xu Xu was dragged by Manman to play Truth or Dare.
Xu Xu had never played this game before, but when he heard that he could choose to tell the truth, he suddenly felt relaxed - telling the truth was the easiest thing to do.
The way to play is to draw cards, and whoever draws the smallest card will be punished. This unskilled competitive method did not allow Xu Xu to gain any advantage and he was quickly defeated.
A boy asked, "When was your first kiss?"
Ten days ago… As the oldest woman present, Xu Xu didn’t want to say anything. She just picked up the wine silently and accepted the punishment.
After a while, he lost again, and a kind-looking girl asked a question. Xu Xu thought he could pass the test easily, but the question was quite fierce: "What position do you like when making love?"
Ahem, even though she has no experience, it doesn’t mean Xu Xu has no preferences. She likes direct communication, communication between the soul and the body, and being honest with each other.
She didn't answer and took the wine again to accept the punishment
The third time: "Which part of a man's body do you like the most?"
Xu Xu glanced at Ji Bai who was sitting not far away and found that the answer was "waist"... She drank another glass. It turned out that telling the truth would become difficult for her one day.
After playing a few more rounds, there was suddenly a warm breath beside him. Ji Bai sat over and asked everyone with a faint smile: "What are you playing?"
Manman complained: "Xu Xu is not fun at all. He doesn't answer any questions!" Then she blurted out all the questions she hadn't answered.
Ji Bai smiled, glanced at Xu Xu, then stood up and left.
Later, when they had an intimate relationship, Ji Bai asked Xu Xu several times about postures and positions...Xu Xu ignored him.
A few years later, the two got married. The honeymoon was spent on an island abroad. The night is long and the sea breeze is blowing. Ji Bai held Xu Xu in his arms and sat on the beach chair. He suddenly recalled the past and whispered, "We are newlyweds, how about we play truth or dare?"
Xu Xu smiled faintly: "You still miss me?"
Ji Bai replied: "Of course, but if you choose to take a big risk, I welcome that too."

Small Theater-Chen Beiyao 1
After hanging up the call with Ye Zixiao, Chen Beiyao looked up and saw Mu Shan sitting on the sofa, looking up at him.
He sat down beside her, held her in his arms, and kissed her gently along her hair: "What do you want to ask me?"
Mu Shan said, "Why do you want to interfere in the affairs of the Lin City Police this time?"
Chen Beiyao said calmly, "China and Myanmar are jointly fighting crime. Ji Bai is a nationally renowned detective who has participated in this case and is quite stubborn, so he will definitely go."
"Then?"
"So I asked Ye Zixiao to tell the Lin City police, that is, to tell Ji Bai. The situation in Myanmar is very complicated, and there may be unpredictable risks. If I provide Ji Bai with clues, he will have a greater chance of survival."
Mu Shan was shocked: "Why do you want to help Ji Bai? Who is he?"
Chen Beiyao smiled faintly: "Ye Weinan and his wife have done us a favor." He paused and said: "Xun Yu's father is an old subordinate of the Ji family. His current career development depends on the support of the Ji family. I am Xun Yu's friend. I helped Ji Bai. When the news spread to Beijing, it was equivalent to helping Xun Yu."
☆、39
"If you enter Burma, be careful of the golden python." This is what Ye Zixiao brought to Xu Xu.
The golden python, a type of Burmese python, is large in size, has bright patterns, is ferocious and highly poisonous.
Xu Xu believed that judging from the sentence structure and word choice, although this sentence mentioned the object "Golden Python", it was just a reminder to be prepared for any eventuality and did not have a clearer direction, so it was basically credible.
Golden Python, of course, could also be a code name for a certain person or force. However, there was a lack of information between China and Myanmar, and Xu Xu searched the police database but found nothing.
Ji Bai reported this information to his superiors, and soon the China-Myanmar Border Police Office sent back a message that they also did not know.
——
It was a sunny and warm Monday afternoon. Xu Xu sat in his seat and read some information.
Suddenly a phone call came in, and the director summoned me.
The director's expression was solemn and serious as he handed a document to Xu Xu. Xu Xu took a look and saw that it was an instruction from the Ministry of Public Security "on the establishment of a special task force to combat cross-border criminal groups in China and Myanmar."
"Brother Lu, formerly known as Zhao Xiaolu, is from Harbin in Northeast China," the director said solemnly. "According to the latest clues, she not only controls multiple human trafficking gangs in China, but also traffics Burmese women to the coastal areas of Guangdong many times to organize prostitution activities. In addition, her criminal group is also related to drug trafficking and gun importation across the border. We must resolutely take down this cancer."
Xu Xu had already guessed the director's intention of summoning him, and was a little surprised: "I'll go?"
The director nodded: "It shouldn't have been your turn. But last time, you and Yao Meng were responsible for taking care of the victim, and you were the only ones who had close contact with Lu Ge. The Ministry of Public Security specifically asked one of you to go." He frowned slightly: "Yao Meng has been on sick leave, and I have talked to her. She said that her physical condition cannot support cross-border work. In addition, she made a mistake last time. After thinking about it, you are the only one. But there are also advantages to you going: Lu Ge is a woman, and it will be more convenient to have a female police officer to follow the case; and when she is arrested, it is very likely that more victims will be rescued. You are a psychological expert and can better comfort the victims."
Xu Xu nodded to show his understanding.
Seeing her calm expression, the director smiled and said, "How about it? Do you dare to go abroad to catch criminals?"
Xu Xu replied: "I dare."
The chief smiled and said, "Okay! But don't worry, I have already talked to the person in charge of the task force. You are a trainee police officer and a girl, so we won't assign you any frontline work. You can just follow along and be responsible for some documentation and rear support work. However, our bureau will only send you, and if you go, you will represent the entire Lin City Police Department. Are you confident that you can successfully complete the task?"
Xu Xu: "I will ensure that the mission is completed."
——
Xu Xu left the director's office and just walked to the door of the criminal police team, he saw Ji Bai and the deputy director coming out. The two men were holding a document and talking about something with serious expressions.
When passing by each other, Ji Bai did not look away, but a faint smile flashed across his eyes.
When Xu Xu saw him, a slight joy rose in his heart. Only when I walked into the office and sat down did I remember going to Myanmar.
Tell him tonight.
——
When it was almost time to get off work, the criminal police team held their weekly meeting.
Everyone reported on the work at hand. Ji Bai sat in the first seat with a serious expression. He asked questions in a low voice and gave opinions from time to time.
At this time, footsteps were heard outside the door, and the deputy director in charge of criminal investigation walked in with the director.
Everyone stood up to greet him. The director smiled and said, "Everyone, please take a seat. I think I should come and announce this news in person." He looked at Xu Xu with admiration and said, "The bureau has decided to send Xu Xu to participate in the joint crime-fighting operation in Myanmar. This is a sign of trust in the criminal police team and the Public Security Bureau's trust in our bureau."
While speaking, Zhao Han had already taken the documents from the deputy director and distributed them to everyone. At the bottom of the page, Xu Xu's name was clearly printed.
Everyone was a little surprised at first, but then they all laughed, applauded Xu Xu, and spoke words of encouragement. Old Wu and Da Hu smiled and glanced at Ji Bai.
Xu Xu immediately stood up and said that he would try his best and not let everyone down. In the heated atmosphere, she subconsciously glanced at Ji Bai.
Ji Bai had a gentle smile on his face, but his dark eyes were staring at her quietly, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

The director left the criminal investigation team and just sat down in his office when Ji Bai knocked on the door.
"Chief, why am I not in the action team?"
The director hesitated for a moment.
This operation was ordered by his superiors, so he did not consult Ji Bai's opinion, but directly issued orders to the criminal police team and Xu Xu himself. Now that I saw Ji Bai coming to my house, I remembered that they were in a relationship.
The director has always been a person who clearly distinguishes between public and private affairs, and certainly would not consider these insignificant factors when making decisions. There were indeed other reasons for not letting Ji Bai go.
"You don't have to think about this. Your criminal investigation ability is indeed outstanding. When the task force discussed candidates, you were also a backup." The director changed the subject. "But when you joined the criminal police team, I promised your family that although risks were inevitable, I would not send you to a place where there was clearly danger. You agreed to this at the time. Although there will be no danger on this trip to Myanmar with the assistance of the Myanmar side, it is a war-torn area after all. I don't think your family will agree to you going."
Ji Bai didn't say anything.
He came to see the director not just for Xu Xu. Just like what the director said, his criminal investigation and pursuit abilities are among the best in the country, making him more suitable to participate in this operation. Moreover, Lu Ge escaped from the operation he was in charge of. Like other tough detectives, Ji Bai wanted to arrest her personally.
But the director's attitude was obviously firm. Moreover, this matter has probably already been reported back to Beijing, and it is difficult to reverse.

That night, Ji Bai sent Xu Xu downstairs to his home. Xu Xu smiled: "Goodbye."
Just as she was about to turn around, Ji Bai pulled her hand, looked upstairs, and smiled faintly: "I haven't been to your house yet, let me take a look around."
Ji Bai certainly wasn't here for a visit. Although my girlfriend's house was indeed clean and comfortable, I took a quick look around and then pulled her to sit on the sofa.
Then he picked her up, put her on his lap and started kissing her.
Ji Bai didn't care too much about what happened in Myanmar. Criminal police often travel for cases, and Xu Xu went there to do logistical clerical work, so the danger was not high. Both of them put work first and have open-minded personalities. They would not show any lingering, awkward or reluctant farewell behavior.
But as Ji Bai kissed her, looked at the blushing face of the person in his arms, and smelled her soft fragrance, he became more and more reluctant to let go. After a while, he whispered in her ear, "Do you want me to go to Burma too?"
Xu Xu answered frankly: "It doesn't matter."
Although this answer is consistent with her personality and the actual situation - if he really went, I'm afraid he would have no time to take care of her. But her lack of lingering attitude still made him feel a little disappointed. The big hand took her
