The night in the provincial capital is quite charming. Xia Jian and Lu Ying were sitting in front of the glass window of the restaurant. They had already eaten all the food on the plates in front of them.

"Do you want to order some more dishes?" Lu Ying asked with a slight smile.

Xia Jian raised his head and glanced at the woman, shook his head and said, "No, you'll break your belly if you eat any more. Look at how much I ate tonight, it's almost twice as much as usual," Xia Jian said

When he said this, his eyes were always fixed on Lu Ying's beautiful face. Only then did he realize that Lu Ying's face was a little more majestic than other women. This may be the reason why she became a police officer!

"What's wrong? Why are you always staring at me?" Lu Ying asked softly.

Xia Jian laughed and said, "Everything feels like a dream, especially you. I didn't expect you to be a policeman. Then your real name shouldn't be Lu Ying!"

"Yes! My real name is Lu Qian. In order to hide my identity, I used a pseudonym." Lu Qian laughed.

Xia Jian stretched out, sighed and said, "Everything in the world is unpredictable. If this matter hadn't been told by you policemen, I would really dare to believe that a woman like Jones would do such a thing."

"Human nature is very complex. Under the temptation of money, you can do anything. Just like Xie Xiaoya, who would have thought that such a gentle and beautiful little woman would be involved in selling cultural relics," Lu Qian said,

He couldn't help but sigh.

Xia Jian laughed and said: "She is a conscientious woman. If she wants to harm me, the consequences are really unimaginable."

"So when we came out for the visit, I said that maybe it was a good thing that Xie Xiaoya didn't talk to you. I don't know if you still remember it. She is a smart woman and basically understands what you mean when you come to see her.

So she simply didn't give you a chance to speak, which is equivalent to protecting you." When Lu Qian said this, Xia Jian finally understood.

The meal was over, but Xia Jian's heart became heavy. When he and Lu Qian separated, Lu Qian told Xia Jian that their bureau would arrange a car to take Xia Jian back, or they could reimburse the fare.

But Xia Jian refused Lu Qian, saying that she could just go back. After Lu Qian sent Xia Jian to a hotel on the roadside, she drove away.

Xia Jian, who was lying on the bed, did not feel sleepy at all. After this incident, his mood was extremely complicated. Things in this world really confirmed what a celebrity said. That is to say, "What you see with your eyes may not be what you see."

real".

At dawn, Xia Jiancai fell asleep in a daze. He had a very comfortable sleep and didn't even have a dream. At about ten o'clock, he was able to wake up.

At this time, there was a knock on the door. Xia Jian quickly got dressed and opened the door, and found Lu Qian in police uniform standing outside the door.

"Hurry up and turn on your phone. Your deputy mayor of Pingdu City has called our director." Lu Qian said anxiously when she saw Xia Jian. Xia Jian then remembered that he had given his phone to him during the questioning last night.

Shut down.

Xia Jian ran back to the room and just turned on his phone when a call came in. The call was from Tong Jie. As soon as the call came through, Tong Jie asked loudly: "Are you okay? Why is the phone turned off?"

"It's okay, don't worry. I'm going to take the bus now. I should be able to return to Pingyang Town in the evening." Xia Jian called Tong Jie back and asked Lu Qian to sit down.

After Lu Qian waited for Xia Jian to hang up the phone, she smiled slightly and said: "Our director asked me to express my apology on his behalf. Due to the special nature of this case, we did not go through the normal procedures when questioning you. We just asked our police to

The system notified the people below. Please tell your leaders about this. Long live your understanding."

"Hi! You're welcome! I know what to do. Then it's time for me to leave. Goodbye!" Xia Jian said, readily reaching out his hand and shaking Lu Qian's hand.

Lu Qian let out a breath, smiled and said, "I'm sorry. Due to work discipline, I lied to you for so long. I believe you can understand. When you come to the provincial capital in the future, you can definitely come to me for a drink and chat."

"Hahahaha! Officer Lu is also a temperamental person, okay! Let's make an agreement." After Xia Jian finished speaking, he started to pack his things.

After checking out of the room, Lu Qian took Xia Jian to the train station in a police car, and then waved goodbye reluctantly. After all, we were all familiar with each other. Saying goodbye, it was already the Year of the Monkey and the Moon of the Horse.

In order to recuperate his energy, Xia Jian fell asleep as soon as he got on the train. He didn't sit up until he arrived in Pingdu City. What happened yesterday seemed like a dream. Xia Jian still can't believe it until now. She is beautiful and charming, and has

Jones, who is extremely wealthy, actually did such a thing.

At a quarter past six in the afternoon, the train arrived at the station on time. When Xia Jian walked out of Pingdu City Railway Station carrying a small bag, he couldn't help but take a long breath. He felt that the air in Pingdu City was still fresh, and breathing was much easier.

Arriving at the train station square, when Xia Jian was about to wave for a taxi, a taxi suddenly drove over from a distance. As soon as the car stopped and the door opened, Gao Qiaoli stepped out of the car.

"What a coincidence, old classmate!" Gao Qiaoli laughed and came forward.

When Xia Jian saw it was Gao Qiaoli, he immediately smiled and said, "I'm about to find a car. It seems I don't have to look for it anymore. It's just you. How about it? Are you free?"

"My old classmate said, I have to be free even if I don't have time. But I have a small request. Let's sit together tonight. How about I send you back when we're done? You won't even give me this face, will you?" Gao Qiaoli

As he spoke, he laughed again.

Xia Jian hesitated for a moment and then refused. He had promised Gao Qiaoli many times to invite a few classmates to sit together. This time she took the initiative. He couldn't say that he couldn't go! What's more, at this time, he

There's nothing urgent.

"Okay! Then call a few more over. You can see which place is suitable. Let's go there now. But let me explain in advance that I will pay the bill tonight. You know this, so how about you don't have to rob?" Xia Jian smiled slightly.

Said. Among these classmates, Xia Jian himself felt that he was somewhat superior in terms of money.

Gao Qiaoli sighed and said, "You pay the bill every time, which is a bit embarrassing."

"We are all old classmates, why are you so polite?" Xia Jian said, then opened the door of the taxi and got in.

After Gao Qiaoli got in the car, she began to call the classmates she could contact. After this round of calls, either they were not in the local area, or they had something to do at home and couldn't come. In the end, only Liu Qiang from the Animal Husbandry Bureau could come, and the other one was Cai Li. Cai Lineng

Xia Jian was somewhat surprised by agreeing to come to the party.

"What should we do? It's just the four of us." Gao Qiaoli asked Xia Jian a little embarrassed.

Xia Jian chuckled and said, "What's the matter? Just four people! The fewer people there are, the better I think. This is what society is like now. At class reunions, those who are well off don't come, but those who are too poor also come.

, the rest are those of us who can get by.”

"Old classmate, you are too low-key! Among our classmates, there is no one better than you. To use the most popular metaphor to describe you, you are a dark horse among us." Gao Qiaoli laughed,

With a kick of the accelerator, the taxi sped out and headed straight towards the backstreet avenue at high speed.

Longyuan Restaurant, this is an old restaurant that specializes in northwest cuisine. The facade looks a bit old, even a few words are stained, and the paint is a bit incomplete. But I heard people say that this restaurant has a bit of history, although the owner of the restaurant has changed.

I ordered several, but the sign has not changed and the flavor is still there.

However, as soon as people walk in, the layout inside is still eye-catching. Antique solid wood tables and chairs, spacious and bright private rooms, and a decoration style that combines ancient and modern times.

After Gao Qiaoli invited Xia Jian to sit down, she began to order. Xia Jian only focused on eating and drinking when eating with women. He never had to worry about ordering food and greeting people.

"Hey! Let's drink some tonight! I'll drink too. I'll ask us to take you back together later. Of course, if you don't want to go back, there are star hotels in Pingdu now." Gao Qiaoli ordered the dishes while talking to Xia

Jian talked and laughed.

When Xia Jian heard this, he smiled and said, "What kind of hotel are you staying in? The employee apartments of the Entrepreneurship Group are no worse than hotels. If you really don't want to go back, you can stay anywhere!"

"That's right! Are you worried about having no place to live in Pingdu City?" As soon as Gao Qiaoli finished speaking, Liu Qiang opened the door and walked in.

As he walked towards Xia Jian, he said with a smile: "Come back and live with me. I live in two rooms by myself now. It's very big." Liu Qiang smiled and stretched out his hands to Xia Jian.

Xia Jian hurriedly stood up and held Liu Qiang's hand together. He sighed and shook his head and said: "It's not easy! It's a bit difficult to meet me. What do you think you are busy with? You live in the same city, and you don't even have one.

There is no chance to sit for a while.”

Liu Qiang pulled Xia Jian to sit down, heaved a sigh of relief and said: "The key is that you are too busy, the rest of us can still make some time, don't you think so, classmate Gao?" Liu Qiang was a bit flattering to Gao Qiaoli, haha

A smile.

"I don't have time. I'm either working day or night shifts. I have to work hard for money." Gao Qiaoli's words sounded like a joke, but they were also true. Those who drive taxis have to work hard on time.

Just as they were talking and laughing, Cai Li walked in. Now, although the years have left some traces on her face, her beauty is still there. With a little dressing up, she still looks beautiful and charming.

"Oh! You are indeed our school beauty back then! So many of your male classmates have suffered a lot of injuries because of you, and our Mayor Xia must be your subordinate, too!" Liu Qiang, Cai Li's first year, spoke unabashedly.

He started laughing.

Gao Qiaoli glared at Liu Qiang fiercely and shouted: "If you can speak, just say a few more words. If you can't speak, shut your mouth." Liu Qiang was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that if he continued speaking, he would be talking about Cai Li's sadness.

It's over.

"It's okay, let me tell you!" Cai Li smiled softly and sat between Gao Qiaoli and Xia Jian.

Seeing that Cai Li had finally emerged from the shadow of life, Xia Jian was very happy. He smiled slightly and asked, "How is business lately?"

"It's not bad. After all, it's a small business. It'll be good if it can continue." Cai Li said, looking at Xia Jian with her beautiful big eyes. There was a little shyness in her eyes, which only Xia Jian could feel.
