After glancing at the phone on the sofa, Mr. He didn't dare to say anything.
At home, everything was decided by Mrs. He, so I could only pick up the phone and dial a number in my contacts.
Sun Dahai, who was having dinner at home after work, saw the incoming call number and quickly picked up the phone to speak.
"Director He, what are your instructions?"
He Xiang's father is the newly appointed police chief, and also the one who promoted Sun Dahai to the position of captain.
"Little Sun, I, He Yi, have done nothing to wrong you, have I?"
He Yi didn't immediately state the purpose of his call, but instead asked Sun Dahai in a questioning tone.
"No, Director He, you have been kind to me. Is there something about Dahai that has not satisfied you?"
When Sun Dahai heard He Yi ask him that question, he was momentarily confused as to why he had offended He Yi.
She asked He Yi with a hint of panic.
"My daughter is He Xiang. I've already told you about this matter!"
He Yi, still unaware of Sun Dahai's situation, spoke to him in an unhappy tone.
"It's about Xiao He. She's been doing well at the police station these past two days; nothing's happened."
Sun Dahai was even more confused by He Yi's words.
He knew that He Xiang was the bureau chief's daughter and had given her special treatment.
"Did you put He Xiang under Sun Yue's command and make her work on cases with Sun Yue? Do you think my daughter has too much to live?!"
To his surprise, even after he called, Sun Dahai was still giving him the runaround.
He Yi angrily roared at Sun Dahai.
"No, no..."
"Oh, I just remembered, Sun Yue contacted me today. He said he wanted to take on an apprentice."
"It was indeed me who asked him to choose, I didn't expect him to choose your daughter."
"I'll take care of this tomorrow. I'll have Comrade Xiao He handle some simple tasks."
Upon hearing that He Xiang was Sun Yue's apprentice, Sun Dahai suddenly remembered how Sun Yue had acted when he wanted an apprentice.
No wonder I told myself not to regret it; it turns out that this was what was waiting for me here.
Knowing that Director He doted on He Xiang and wouldn't let He Xiang follow Sun Yue, he smiled and assured He Yi.
“You’re in charge of the criminal investigation team. You don’t need to tell me what you’re supposed to do. If you can’t handle it, I’ll have someone else do it for you. Also, I don’t want any rumors or gossip in the police station.”
He Yi did not say that Sun Dahai's words were his own idea.
But the implication was clear: she didn't want to give anyone cause for criticism.
For the sake of his reputation, He Yi specifically gave Sun Dahai some instructions.
"Okay, I will definitely handle this matter well."
Sun Dahai understood the meaning behind those words, of course.
If you can't take good care of this thing, then you'll be sitting in your chair for the rest of your life.
After Sun Dahai finished speaking, the phone went dead.
After hanging up the phone, Sun Dahai angrily threw his chopsticks on the table.
Sitting in the chair, looking at the phone in my hand, I got angrier and angrier.
I was just enjoying a meal when I was inexplicably scolded.
"Hello!"
So he angrily picked up the phone, dialed the number, and shouted at the other end.
"Captain, what's wrong?"
Sun Yue, who had just returned home, received a call from Sun Dahai.
Hearing the angry voice on the other end, he asked, somewhat confused.
"You, you, did you let Xiao He accompany you on the case?"
Sun Dahai, who was originally furious, remembered He Yi's instructions not to let others know about this matter, and calmed himself down.
Let's confirm with Sun Yue whether it's really as He Yi said.
"Indeed, didn't you say I could choose anyone? I thought Xiao He was very clever, so I let her come with me."
Hearing Sun Dahai ask him about Xiao He, he answered Sun Dahai.
"You, don't bring Xiao He with you tomorrow. Xiao He has other work arrangements."
Sun Dahai couldn't hold back any longer, but he still suppressed his anger and said to Sun Yue.
"Captain, I actually..."
Upon hearing that Xiao He was to be transferred, Sun Yue was about to plead with Sun Dahai on his behalf.
She realized that Xiao He was very much to her liking, but before she could say anything, Sun Dahai hung up the phone.
I put my phone on the sofa and started thinking.
He had just dropped He Xiang off at home when Sun Dahai called.
It seems that Xiao He comes from a powerful family, capable of managing a criminal investigation captain like this.
I remembered the Party badge that He Xiang's mother wore; she must hold a high position in the government.
I've heard before that He Xiang has a father, so it seems that these things were done by He Xiang's father.

What are you going to do today?
Jiang Manyue, sitting on the bed, is feeding her child.
Seeing that Lu Fan was dressed neatly, and wondering what he was going to do, she asked him.
"There's a board meeting at Shanggong Group today, and as the largest director, I need to attend. You just gave birth not long ago, so you should take more time to rest."
Lu Fan fastened his tie, came to the bedside, and patted Jiang Manyue's head as he spoke.
"Okay, then come back soon. I want to go home now. I'm not used to staying in this hospital all the time."
Jiang Manyue didn't interfere with Lu Fan's serious business and said to him.
"Okay, wait for me to come back, and once you've recovered, the two of us, husband and wife, will go all out!"
