Chapter 48
Ding Guoqiang was very angry about Xiang Siling's running away. Just as Lu Xing had been escorted back to Xiangcheng, Luo Hongmin's case was finally about to be solved, but the suspect slipped away right under their noses.
Ding Guoqiang looked at the two quail-like young criminal policemen and was unable to vent his anger for a moment. The young man is working very hard, carrying out missions during the day and at night. How about you, Ding Guoqiang, try it? My old arms and legs can’t even last a whole night.
Ding Guoqiang couldn't help but think that if Chen Pu or Fang Hao had been on guard last night, the person would definitely not have escaped, as the veteran detectives would have been able to tell at a glance that something was wrong. It’s not like now, no matter how you ask, the two young men look confused.
But could he let Chen Pu and Fang Hao do nothing but guard Xiang Siling for half a month? These two capable men didn't sleep for a minute last night. They found the lair of Luo Long and his accomplice at Heili Peak and completed the exploration overnight, bringing new breakthroughs to the case.
After all, there are still not enough people.
Even if it was Li Qingyao who was guarding the hospital last night, Xiang Siling might not have been able to escape. Although she has the least experience, she is smart and capable. Which task assigned to her by the team had ever gone wrong? Aren’t all of them completed beyond expectations?
Ding Guoqiang has seen a lot of people who work in a muddle-headed way their whole lives. They work hard and are willing to work hard, but they just don't get inspired and keep making no progress. There is not much difference between working for one year and working for ten years. Ding Guoqiang thinks this is not stupidity. The intelligence of most people is not much different. This is actually a kind of laziness that is hidden deeply. There is a kind of effort called "you look like you're working hard". You have invested time and energy, but it seems that if you don't do a good job, the responsibility is not yours. After all, I am already so tired. But such people never force themselves to calm down, spend time studying problems, challenge difficulties, and seek real progress from pain and suffering.
Li Qingyao is different. She and Chen Pu are the same type of people. From the first day of work, they have been running forward with all their strength. Even for the simplest job, she can devote all her energy to it, not only giving you what you want, but also what you didn't expect. This is the real valuable and transformative effort. Otherwise, how could Li Qingyao, who had only been working for a few months, be equivalent to a criminal police officer with three to five years of experience?
Thinking of this, Ding Guoqiang's idea was suddenly illuminated - isn't this a waste of manpower? In tense times, with Li Qingyao's ability, he can completely stand on his own and take a troublesome young man as his partner. Instead of being like now, following Chen Pu around as an assistant all day long and not being able to play a big role.
As long as it is related to the work of the criminal police team, Ding Guoqiang will not consider personal feelings when making decisions. He immediately called Chen Pu.
Chen Pu was driving and taking Li Qingyao back to the city bureau, while Zhou Yangxin stayed in Heilifeng.
He put on his Bluetooth headset and answered: "Master."
"I have something to tell you. I think you have done a good job in coaching Li Qingyao over the past few months. I will assign her a partner in a few days so that she can take on the work independently."
Chen Pu was silent.
Ding Guoqiang is right, the cooking time is almost right. But it also means…
He sighed softly and said, "Okay, got it."
Ding Guoqiang smiled with satisfaction and was about to hang up the phone when Chen Pu said, "But I have two requests."
"Are you dreaming?"
"First, she's a girl, and her skills are just so-so. Choose the one with the best skills among those stupid boys so that they can complement each other."
“…This works.”
"Second, this is a private matter." Chen Pu saw Li Qingyao looking at him and lowered his voice, "Don't choose those, Master. This is my personal request to you."
Although Chen Pu didn't think that anyone in the criminal police team could win his heart, but seeing his girlfriend partnering with her suitors all day long felt like herding sheep on a vast grassland, with the sky above his head seemingly green but not green. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to sleep at all.
"You kid! You're really promising! You haven't asked me for anything in seven years, but now you ask me for help!"
"Hey, I'll need your help a lot in the future, it's settled."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Pu met Li Qingyao's inquiring gaze and was speechless for a moment.
Li Qingyao guessed most of it: "Captain Ding wants to choose a new partner for me?"
"Yeah, that's right."
"Is it because of our matter that it has a bad influence?"
Chen Pu smiled and reached out to touch her head: "It's our business, no one else's business. It's because you are awesome that he decided to let you lead a group and stand on your own. From now on, you are no longer the B-side role, but the A-side role."
Li Qingyao smiled, looked into his eyes, and then gradually stopped smiling, without saying anything.
Chen Pu was very annoyed and didn't know what to say, so he kept fiddling with the steering wheel. His movements were larger than usual, and the turning angle and driving speed were also more intense. The two seemed to have their own concerns and didn't talk much along the way.
After driving to the police station building, Chen Pu turned and drove towards Chaoyang Home.
Li Qingyao still didn't say anything.
When he got downstairs, Chen Pu seemed to have calmed down. The car stopped steadily, without the reckless momentum it had. Then he lowered his head, patted the steering wheel with one hand, and said, "Get out of the car."
Li Qingyao slammed the car door and just stood still, Chen Pu came around, with obvious resentment in his eyes, but his actions were decisive and powerful. He hugged her waist, pressed his body against the car door, and lowered his head to kiss her.
The autumn afternoon sun was still very strong, shining through the leaves and basking their heads and faces. Chaoyang Home was still deserted during the day, with only one or two people passing by on the street corners and the lingering cries of wild cats. Chen Pu was very tall, his body almost covering her completely, and he pressed on her and kissed her. He put one arm around her waist, and his other hand touched her drooping hand and clasped their fingers tightly. After kissing her hard for a long time, he finally removed his lips. It was probably the first time for Chen Xiaopu to kiss passionately on the street, and his face was rarely flushed. But he still held her tightly.
"Don't you feel reluctant at all?" he asked.
Li Qingyao understood that he was feeling wronged about this. But what should Li Qingyao say?
Of course she couldn't bear to leave Chen Pu. It is said that it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. I have been here alone for so many years. But now, she has gotten used to waking up every morning and seeing him either at the door or downstairs. She was used to being inseparable from him all day long, discussing everything with him, and feeling extremely at peace; she was used to him being the last person to say goodnight to her when it was late at night and everyone was asleep.
There was a period of time when Li Qingyao had to rely on tranquilizers to find peace of mind. Later she tried her best to quit smoking.
When she made the decision to find Chen Pu three years ago, Chen Pu was her new medicine. Once he was an imaginary person; then he was the real person. How comforting and likable is this medicine? From the moment they met, Chen Pu gave her almost everything she wanted. This person who is usually so tough is infinitely gentle and tolerant only towards her.
Now she's going to form a new partnership, doesn't she understand what this means? Perhaps from now on, from morning till night, for several days in a row, they will be busy with their own tasks and will not see each other. For Li Qingyao, isn't this equivalent to quitting her medication again? From then on, only rarely could she see him, be close to him, smell his scent, hear his voice, and feel deep spiritual comfort.
But Li Qingyao is just that kind of person. There are many things she would never say easily. She just hugged his neck and smiled a little wickedly: "There are also benefits. Not seeing you for a day feels like a long time. That's also a different experience."
Chen Pu said unhappily, "I must be mentally ill to want that kind of experience."
"How about I reject Lao Ding?" Li Qingyao took a step back to advance.
"No." Chen Pu refused without even thinking.
"So Chen Pu, promise Lao Ding that the person who makes this decision is you."
Chen Pu gave a bitter smile, stared into her watery eyes, bit her nose lightly as a punishment, and then let her go.
"You are born in the Year of the Dog."
He held her hand and said, "Let's go. What else can we do? We have to work overtime at the company and we will be separated."
"Let go, someone will see you soon."
"It's still a long way to go. Let go when we're almost there. I'll have to date you with the spirit of participating in a provincial competition."
"?"
"Every second counts, and we must launch a comprehensive assault."
"…You're the one who's in trouble."
