Where to escape
"Good morning, come on, come on."
"This is our Miss Xia." Xia Zaoan was dragged to the party. They were all students of Jingyi, and Gu Liyan was also present.
"Miss, here's a toast to you."
Xia Zaoan reluctantly drank a little, "This, Miss, you are not giving me face."
After drinking too much, people become less cautious when talking to others. The atmosphere was a little tense, and Gu Li'an, who was watching from the side, tried to smooth things over for her, "Okay, we've already drunk, how much face do you have?"
Since Gu Lian had already spoken, the man stopped talking.
"Yes, yes, let's just have fun today."
Everyone at the party was almost drunk. "Let's play a game. How can we drink without the classic game of Truth or Dare? Everyone should participate. I want to see who can't afford it." said the girl who came to say good morning.
The game entered a white-hot stage. "Senior Xia, do you have someone you like?" asked a freshman who had a crush on Xia Zaoan.
"No." She said firmly.
"Good morning, it's been so long since I've seen you in a relationship. What kind of person do you like? I'll help you find one."
"If you won, just ask me." Xia Zaoan avoided the subject.
"Come on, keep going."
This time it was Gu Lian'an's turn, and he chose the big adventure.
"Then call the first person in your address book Y and ask him what one plus one equals."
The friend next to her touched her shoulder and said, "You are so mean. Where will Mr. Gu put his face? Don't affect our business."
"It's okay." Gu Lian flipped through the address book. The first name on Y was Ye Lin, so he dialed her.
"Hello." Ye Lin's cold voice came out.
"Um, what is one plus one?" He touched his nose.
There was silence for a few seconds on the other end, "It seems you are quite free." Then the call was disconnected.
After being hung up, everyone felt embarrassed for him, "It's morning now, do you want to choose truth or dare?"
"A big adventure."
"Oh, I wanted to ask you something else, but you didn't give me the chance. So, just do what Senior Gu did and call the first person and ask her that question."
There was no doubt that the person Xia Zaoan called the most was Ye Lin, and she dialed the number with some trepidation.
"What's wrong?" It was a gentle female voice.
Xia Zaoan said hesitantly, "One plus one equals how much."
Just when Gu Li'an thought Xia Zao'an would have the same ending as him, "Second. Are you outside?"
"Um."
"Drink less. Do you want me to pick you up?"
"No."
"Okay, don't go back too late. Come to me if you need anything."
"knew."
Gu Lian’an widened his eyes. The treatment was too different. It was true that comparison made one feel dreadful.
The next day, Xia Zaoan brought Ye Lin to the studio.
"Thump, thump, thump." She lifted the canvas.
A delicate and soft face came to an end. It was Ye Lin's face.
"How's it going? I've decided to enter this painting into a competition and will send it to Gao Country tomorrow. Linlin, can I use your face in the competition?"
Ye Lin stared at the painting, her heart pounding. She walked slowly closer, resisting the urge to destroy it.
"Good morning, the human face has a lot of white space, so the skills that can be displayed are limited. For a theme like this..."
"But this is more challenging. The lines and wrinkles on the human face are more delicate. Although they are not so prominent, I am confident that I can impress the judges. Isn't that what you told me? The simpler the details, the more obvious the difference." Xia Zaoan was cheerful to himself.
"You've thought it through."
"Um."
"Okay." Ye Lin agreed calmly. "It's just that the face you drew is too perfect. It doesn't look realistic."
"But that's how you look in my drawing."
"I mean, look, putting a mole at the corner of the eye creates a contrast between the left and right sides. Doesn't it make it more worldly, like the finishing touch?"
"Really? Then I'll add it and make some changes."
Xia Zaoan was unaware, and Ye Lin looked at the painting with a deep look in her eyes.
…
In the morning, Xia Zaoan was sitting on the sofa when Xia Keyu came down and said, "Good morning, brother."
He stood behind her and took out a gift box from his clothes, with a silly smile on his face, as if he was thinking of someone.
"Good morning, please give this to Ye Lin for me."
Xia Zaoan looked at him inquiringly and opened the jewelry box. Inside was an extravagant bracelet, even more luxurious than the one he had given her when they were in school. Thinking about Xia Keyu's past behavior, she suddenly realized, "Brother, you don't like Linlin, do you?"
As expected, no one knows a brother better than his sister. "No, you are not worthy of Linlin!"
Xia Keyu hissed and pointed at her head, "Girl, your elbows are always sticking out."
"Yes, I do like her. But I'm not that bad, and she's the first girl he's really liked. Besides, isn't it good for Ye Lin and I to be together?"
Xia Zaoan rolled her eyes. If her brother and Ye Lin were together, she would become my sister-in-law. I wouldn't have to worry about her being far away from me after she got married. We could go shopping, eat, and spend time together every day, and we wouldn't have to deal with the sister-in-law relationship. This feels pretty good.
"Okay, I'll take care of you and Linlin's business, but Linlin doesn't like this kind of jewelry."
"I'll help you think of some other ways..."
Xia Zaoan made an appointment with Ye Lin, and Xia Keyu was also there.
"Linlin, we haven't properly celebrated the launch of your new design yet, so let's celebrate today."
When the dishes were almost served, Xia Zaoan found an excuse to leave, "Ouch, my stomach hurts a little, I need to go to the bathroom."
Xia Zaoan walked away with a hunched back, and turned back to smile maliciously.
There were only two of them in the box. Xia Keyu picked up a dish for her and said, "Eat more."
"I asked someone to buy your favorite cake for dessert."
"Thank you." During this time, Xia Keyu kept asking about her well-being.
Flashing back to the morning, "You have to make people feel that you are caring and reliable, and make people feel that you are needed by her."
Xia Zaoan gestured with his hands as he spoke, and finally made a gesture of hugging himself.
Ye Lin was worried because Xia Zaoan hadn't come back for a long time.
"I'll go check on Good Morning." He stood up and left.
"Good morning, why are you here?" Ye Lin saw Xia Zaoan outside.
"Oh, I came out to digest my food. Why did you come out too?"
The long and piercing sound of a police siren rang in my ears, getting closer and closer. "What happened?" Xia Zaoan was confused.
Ye Lin's contact number was dialed. It was Bai Zeyan who called, "Hello, Xiaolin. There's a highly dangerous suspect on the run. I'm coming to you now. I need your help to intercept him."
"I happen to be nearby. There's a police car with number 7957. I'll get in that car."
Huh? Xia Zaoan looked around and saw no police cars. After Ye Lin hung up, she turned around and told her, "Find a place to stay and don't come out yet."
"Okay." Xia Zaoan always listened to Ye Lin's words.
Ye Lin quickly ran towards the police car. Two patrol officers were in police car No. 7957. "Hey, Xiao Zheng, please pull over. I need to go to the bathroom."
The police car stopped, one person got out, and the person in the car received notification of the fleeing suspect.
"It just happens to be not far from me. Maybe if I catch him I can get a permanent job."
Xiao Zheng started the car and Ye Lin appeared and opened the door. She startled him and asked, "Who are you?"
"Ye Lin, those who are assisting in the pursuit of the fugitive, get off the car or take it over."
Xiao Zheng subconsciously moved to the passenger seat and offered her his seat. Then, realizing what was happening, he said, "No, it's true. If you say it is, then it is true. Do you have the relevant documents to prove it?"
Ye Lin took off, "Fasten your seat belts."
Xiao Zheng was not sitting firmly and was thrown around, so he quickly fastened his seat belt.
Sirens blared, and the suspect vehicle was sighted moments later. Ye Lin continued to accelerate, and the police cars ahead of her consciously yielded the main road to her. The distance between Ye Lin and the suspect was closing. Xiao Zheng, standing nearby, clutched the handlebars with both hands, his face pale. It felt like he was still in the car, his soul had been left behind.
There was a fork in the road ahead, and the suspect car drove towards the right lane. When it was about to enter the lane, it suddenly turned the steering wheel to the left. It was thought that Ye Lin would be fooled, but in fact, Ye Lin secretly slowed down, turned to the left, accelerated and hit the suspect car.
As they turned the corner, Ye Lin caught up, shoulder to shoulder with him, squeezing him. Xiao Zheng, standing next to him, felt his stomach churn. The suspect car shuddered, its tires skidding. He also collided with Ye Lin.
Ye Lin hovered, tilted the other side of the police car, placed it on the suspect car, and moved with the car.
"Give me the gun." Ye Lin asked Xiao Zheng for the gun.
"I'm still an intern and haven't been equipped with a gun yet." He was trembling as he spoke.
Ye Lin opened the car door and climbed onto the roof of the suspect vehicle. "Hey, it's over 200 miles per hour." Xiao Zheng sat leaning in the passenger seat, his body disheveled by the strong wind.
Ye Lin moved steadily across the roof, kicking the window and shattering it. The suspect looked at the man who had suddenly appeared on top. Ye Lin argued with him, and the two cars began to sway from side to side. The man slammed on the brakes, and Ye Lin clung to the car door.
Xiao Zheng watched the battle on the side and could not help but worry, fearing that Ye Lin would be crushed into meat paste if she couldn't catch him. The inertial speed was no joke.
The man took the opportunity to pull out his gun and fired several shots at Ye Lin, who dodged. He watched through the rearview mirror as several police cars approached. He swerved to the side, preparing to swerve to knock over the police car, slowing it down and separating them.
Ye Lin saw his intention, but Xiao Zheng was also in the car. If hit, he and the car would be thrown dozens of meters down the highway. Watching the two cars getting closer and closer to the fence, Ye Lin dove into the police car, slammed on the brakes, steered left and right, and disengaged from the suspect car, coming to a steady stop on the road. There was a thud, and Xiao Zheng covered his mouth, vomiting.
The suspect accelerated, and Ye Lin slowed down her car and turned on the resonance channel to transmit to other police cars, "You follow, I'll intercept him." Police cars followed one after another.
"How are we going to intercept him from behind?"
Ye Lin stopped the car. This section of the road led to a "9"-shaped roundabout, and the suspect car was driving down.
"Hold on tight."
Ye Lin turned the car's horizontal speedometer to the highest position and rushed towards the roadless front.
"What are you going to do? Ah——" Xiao Zheng's mouth was now big enough to fit a light bulb.
The car crashed into the fence and flew out, forming a perfect parabola. If it were used in a math problem, it would stump a large number of high school students.
The man, desperately trying to escape, watched helplessly as the car fell from the sky, getting closer and closer to hitting him. He pressed the brakes hard, and Ye Lin's car continued to slide forward towards him. The man's car continued to rush forward due to its speed, just in time for the two cars to stop and avoid hitting each other.
The police behind rushed forward and subdued the suspect. Ye Lin got out of the car and Bai Zeyan also arrived.
The man who was pinned down was not tall, with dark skin and shifty eyes. He looked at Ye Lin with evil and gloomy eyes.
Bai Zeyan punched him in the stomach, and the man was in so much pain that he couldn't straighten his back.
After getting off the car, Xiao Zheng couldn't hold it in any longer and vomited violently, his internal organs almost coming out of his throat.
Xiao Zheng wiped his mouth and saw Ye Lin talking to Bai Zeyan. He pulled an old policeman and asked, "Brother, who is that girl?"
"Oh, you've only been here a short time, so you might not know. That's Captain Bai's younger sister, Xiao Ye. She's been solving cases and catching suspects since she was a teenager. Her movements are so smooth and beautiful, and she's helped solve many cases. She's amazing. Everyone in the bureau knows her. We've all watched her grow up. She went abroad to study the past two years, and she's become even more beautiful. If Captain Bai hadn't said so, I'd have introduced my nephew to her."
"Were you in the same car with Xiao Ye?" Looking at Xiao Zheng's face.
"Um."
"Then you are really lucky."
"That's not bad, I'm about to throw up."
"With Xiaoye together, isn't this the clearest thing? I tell you, as long as you write this case report and the pursuit operation well, you will have no problem getting a regular job."
"real?"
"Of course. We've reviewed many of Xiao Ye's cases over and over again. He's a role model for many police officers to emulate. It's a shame he didn't become a police officer."
"Take a sick leave these few days and work on your report."
"Why, I'm asking for leave."
"Go to the hospital as soon as possible to take medicine and get an IV drip, otherwise your body will definitely not be able to withstand your first ride in Xiaoye's car."
Bai Zeyan said, "You must have had enough fun this time."
Ye Lin didn't reply, "How do you thank me?"
"Thanks? Look at how many police cars you stopped because they couldn't brake fast enough and rear-ended you. And I haven't even charged you for the vehicle maintenance fees, the road and fence repairs, and the parking fees that affected subsequent traffic. "
"Why am I doing things for you that are not pleasing to me?"
"From childhood to adulthood, I've protected you so many times. Don't I know what you're like?"
"I'm done, I'm going back."
"I send you."
"It's time to pack up, Xiao Zheng, get in the car."
"Okay." Xiao Zheng scratched his head, feeling like he had forgotten something and even dragged someone into the trouble.
Ye Lin and Bai Zeyan returned to that place and got out of the car.
"There's no progress on the matter in the west of the city?"
"We've found some clues, but haven't made any other breakthroughs yet."
"Linlin."
Xia Zaoan suddenly ran over and stumbled without noticing. Bai Zeyan instinctively hugged her.
Xia Zaoan just stared at him motionlessly, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay." There were two suspicious blushes on Xia Zaoan's face.
She tugged at Ye Lin's sleeve shyly, "Who is this?"
"Bai Zeyan, my brother, a criminal police officer from the First Bureau."
"Hello, my name is Xia Zaoan, and I'm Linlin's friend."
Bai Zeyan only glanced at her and said, "Hello."
"I have something else to do, so I won't bother you anymore."
When did Bai Zeyan become so polite and even bother me?
"I just went to help out a little bit, I guess I've been waiting for a long time."
"It's okay, my brother went back first, let's go eat." Xia Zaoan held Ye Lin's arm and glanced in the direction where Bai Zeyan left.
