for Advance Chapter
Today, there are only classes in the morning. After school at noon, Qi Jingjing went home first.
"Lingyun, come to my house to play when you are free on the weekend!"
Mei Ya in the driver's seat winked at him. Qi Jingjing was happy in her heart, thinking that her mother created conditions for her and Lingyun, but she didn't know that Mei Ya was doing it for herself.
"Okay, I'll go when I'm free, take care!"
Ling Yun waved goodbye to the two and called Xia Lan to ask if she was home, but Xia Lan seemed to be in some noisy place and said she was busy before hanging up.
Ling Yun shrugged. His mother was still at the company and he would be alone at the villa. He planned to go to the mall to buy some vegetables to bring back.
Just as he put the vegetables into the back of the car, a sharp brake sound came from not far away, and then a young man fell to the ground with his electric bike.
After the car hit someone, it did not leave immediately, but increased its horsepower and fled into the distance.
"Hey, stop the car!"
A tall woman wearing a casual shirt and jeans next to her immediately shouted at the car. She subconsciously prepared to take out the pistol at her waist, but then she remembered that she had been suspended from work and could only watch the car run away.
"Yaxuan, stop him!"
"Yes, boss!"
Ling Yun closed the trunk, and Ling Yaxuan immediately drove over and did an American-style stop. The driver stepped on the brakes when he was about to hit.
Ling Yun and Zheng Xi ran to the vicinity of the accident vehicle almost at the same time. The driver got out of the cab and was about to say something when Ling Yun directly tied his hands behind his back and pressed them on the hood of his car.
"Ah! Be gentle, it hurts!"
The driver screamed in pain, and Zheng Xi directly called his former subordinate. Soon, the traffic department patrolling nearby came over. After briefly understanding the incident, they took the driver back to the bureau. Fortunately, the passerby was not seriously injured.
"Thank you, Ling Yun."
Zheng Xi naturally recognized Ling Yun and smiled at him friendly. Ling Yun smiled back, looked at the time, and said, "Have you had lunch?"
"No, I was just about to go out for lunch."
"Me neither, how about we go out for a meal?"
Zheng Xi thought about it and finally nodded.
The two did not go to any expensive restaurants, but sat down in a noodle shop nearby.
"Is Officer Zheng suspended now?" Ling Yun was surprised when he heard what she said.
"That's right, so don't call me Officer anymore, just call me Zheng Xi." The woman opened her drink and took a sip. Although she was smiling, it was obvious that she was not happy.
"Can you tell me the reason? I'm not gossiping, I just want to ask if I can help you."
"Do you still remember that Zhang Yang? I accidentally shot him to death."
[Beauty Affinity] played a role. Although Zheng Xi's willpower was quite strong, she inevitably became closer to Ling Yun and was willing to tell him some things.
"Isn't he the murderer who killed Li Kai?"
"No." Zheng Xi supported her head with her hands and sighed, "There is no clue about the murderer at the moment. It's like he appeared out of thin air and disappeared out of thin air, as if he came specifically to kill Li Kai, without any trace."
"Is it so magical?" Ling Yun seemed very surprised, but in fact he felt a little guilty towards Zheng Xi.
Such a serious female police officer was implicated and suspended just because of a conflict with her own purpose. In the end, it was just bad luck.
"Noodles are here!"
The boss brought two bowls of noodles. When he put down the bowls and was about to leave, Zheng Xi stopped him and said, "Bring me a box of beer."
"Okay!" The boss was naturally happy to make money, and soon brought a box.
"Can you drink?"
"Beer is fine." Zheng Xi also wanted to express her inner depression, so she took out two bottles and opened them, "Do you want to drink?"
"Yes!"
The two of them didn't eat much noodles afterwards, but kept drinking and chatting. After a few bottles of wine, Zheng Xi also expressed her dissatisfaction with some colleagues and leaders.
"Zheng Xi, you've drunk too much."
Hearing some of her outrageous words, Ling Yun quickly stopped her from talking.
"Why am I... Yes, I've drunk too much." Zheng Xi also realized something. Thinking of the speed at which Liu Lanshan's face changed after seeing Ling Yun's photo that day, she had some guesses about Ling Yun's identity. The photos in Ling Yun's circle of friends were mosaiced except for Ling Yun. She didn't recognize him, but Liu Lanshan obviously saw it and was very secretive.
Why would a photo in one's circle of friends be mosaiced? Unless his family's identity is really special. Even if
it was blurred, she felt familiar with it, but she didn't dare to confirm it, because if it was true, Ling Yun's background was much bigger than she thought.
If that was true, as long as she was on good terms with Ling Yun, the position issue would be a matter of a word, and there was a possibility of moving up.
Thinking of this, she was frightened by her own thoughts and felt that she had drunk too much.
Seeing that she still wanted to drink, Ling Yun immediately stopped her: "Okay, let me help you with this matter? Our Longguo needs excellent police officers like you, Sister Zheng Xi!"
"I will cooperate with the investigation, no, no..."
She stuttered a little. After drinking these 6 bottles of beer, she, who had an average alcohol tolerance, was really a little dizzy.
Seeing that she drank all the wine in the bottle, Ling Yun also paid the bill helplessly.
"Where are you going?"
Just after giving the money, Ling Yun saw Zheng Xi staggering out, and immediately chased after her.
"Go back to the Law Enforcement Bureau and investigate the case!"
"Aren't you suspended?" Ling Yun was a little speechless, and immediately grabbed her, fearing that she would fall.
"Oh, yes."
Zheng Xi immediately became disappointed again, looking at Ling Yun's face full of grievances, and her eyes were red: "It's really not my fault, I was just trying to protect myself at that time..."
"Okay, okay, where is your home, I'll take you back?"
"Home?" Zheng Xi suddenly became alert and took a step back, "What do you want to do!"
"I'm taking you home, you're so drunk, I can't let you wander around here alone, right?"
"Hehe, you kid..."
Zheng Xi suddenly got close to his face, which scared Ling Yun. She poked Ling Yun's chest with her finger and looked up at him: "Are you relying on your good looks to do something bad to me?"
"My sister, I really don't!"
Ling Yun didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Facing a drunkard, he really didn't have such thoughts.
"Huh, I don't think you dare."
Zheng Xi smiled foolishly twice, and just as she was about to leave, her body tilted and fell to one side.
Ling Yun immediately stepped forward and hugged her, which prevented her beautiful face from hitting the ground.
Zheng Xi fell into his arms, stared at Ling Yun's face for a while, and said: "Ling Yun, you are born above millions of people. What you think is a simple sentence is something that many people can never touch in their lifetime."
Seeing that he didn't speak, Zheng Xi buried his head again, and then whispered: "My home is in Shuguang Garden."
Ling Yun knew this place, but Ling Yaxuan had already delivered the food back to the villa, and couldn't come here for a while, so he took a taxi and followed her in.
In the car, perhaps because there was an outsider, Zheng Xi didn't continue to complain, but leaned against Ling Yun very quietly, not knowing what he was thinking.
Ling Yun thought she had woken up, but after getting off the car, he saw her staggering, so he could only sigh, went forward to support her, and sent her into the house.
