Chapter 16: Crying silly

"I didn't break any law." Ying Zhiwan shook his finger. "She is mine, a prize."

Xu Yalan chimed in: "You are a police officer, you need to provide evidence when you speak."

"We all know who Xiang Xiaoyuan is. As long as he beckons her finger, she will come over on her own."

"She is the most shameless person. How do you think she made all the money she has now—"

"I earned it with my brain!" Lin Jiaqiao was stopped by someone, and all his strength was converted into words:

"It's hard for you to understand, isn't it."

"I guess you weigh less than 100 pounds. Why? Because a normal person's brain has weight, but yours doesn't."

"I'm just wondering, our country is so strict in cracking down on pornography and illegal activities, where did you grow up? How come you've tried it before and are so sure that your body can be exchanged for money?"

She looked Xu Yalan up and down, "Your clothes are not cheap. With your brain, how can you make so much money in a year?"

She spoke so fast and densely that Xu Yalan didn't understand everything, but she knew she was scolding her. She said unconvincedly, "I don't make much, but it's all clean money."

"Besides, my family is rich, so I don't have to work."

Her sense of superiority came back, and she said disdainfully: "How can a slut who only took underwear photos in college be a good person?"

Lin Jiaqiao sneered:

"Yes, the money that Xiang Xiaoyuan used to buy Hermes and sports cars was dirty money. The money you used to earn was the cleanest. Without your parents' subsidy, you would have starved to death."

"What's wrong with taking lingerie photos? You want to do it, but even if you give Victoria's Secret money, they won't let you ruin their reputation."

"You have earned less than the tax that Xiaoyuan pays in a month in your lifetime, and you still have the nerve to point fingers at her life. How dare you do that? If the kindergarten students study hard, they won't do such a thing."

"But then again, how do you know your parents didn't take lingerie photos when they started their business?"

Xu Yalan was so angry that she cursed: "Lin Jiaqiao, are you the dog raised by Xiang Xiaoyuan, biting people everywhere for her."

Lin Jiaqiao then remembered to maintain his composure and replied with a smile: "I guess you don't understand either."

"After all, a fellow like you won't have any friends."

Lin Dapeng was afraid that Lin Jiaqiao would scold the man to death, so he ordered Qin Guan and Officer Lu to carry the man away.

Only after the four of them left did the three people in the room finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Although they didn't want to admit it, they were really suffocated by Lin Jiaqiao's scolding.

Ying Zhiwan asked: "Are you reporters so eloquent?"

He Youwei looked a little embarrassed, and just as she was about to explain, the door opened again.

The three thought that Lin Jiaqiao had returned and became alert.

Unexpectedly, the person who came in was Lin Dapeng.

Lin Dapeng pretended not to notice their fearful expressions and said to He Youwei, "Miss He, where did you learn the kidnapping theory from?"

He Youwei breathed a sigh of relief, "My boyfriend told me."

“He is a very famous psychiatrist.”

Lin Dapeng frowned, "After you found out Liu Yang was kidnapped, the first person you contacted was your boyfriend?"

He Youwei's smile froze, and she said, "No, we talked about this topic before."

Lin Dapeng's eyes were full of inquiry. He Youwei suspected that he had discovered her little thoughts, and she turned her head away unconsciously, not daring to look at him.

Lin Dapeng said again: "Would you mind providing your boyfriend's contact information? We need to verify—"

"It's not convenient." He Youwei's attitude became tough. "He and I have broken up, and it was very unpleasant. I don't want him to misunderstand me."

The inquiry in Lin Dapeng's eyes became more obvious.

He no longer obsessed with He Youwei's ex-boyfriend, but just said: "If you encounter a kidnapping case again, please contact the police immediately."

After saying that, he left without waiting for He Youwei to answer.

Ying Zhiwan had learned his lesson this time and gestured to Xu Yalan. Xu Yalan understood and immediately locked the door, and then checked through the peephole to make sure that the uninvited guest had left.

After she finished doing all this, Ying Zhiwan hooked his finger at her, and she threw herself into Ying Zhiwan's arms, sobbing.

Ying Zhiwan touched her hair, but her hair was tied into a mess by Lin Jiaqiao and was severely tangled, so his fingers were stuck.

He pulled his fingers out as if nothing had happened and asked gently, "Are you okay? What can I do?"

"If you need money, you must tell me."

Lin Dapeng did not deliberately conceal it, and the three people outside the door heard his conversation with He Youwei.

Lin Jiaqiao had stopped crying, but she started to hiccup for no apparent reason. She asked, "Dad, you, hiccup, doubt, hiccup, He Youwei—"

Lin Dapeng was exhausted for her. "I'm checking all the uncertainties."

He asked, "Come to think of it, isn't He Youwei older than you? She shouldn't have bullied your friends. Why do you hate her so much?"

With her carefree personality, it's rare for her to hate someone.

"Because, hiccup, Master."

At that time, reporter Cui was in the emergency room. In order to gain attention, He Youwei actually broadcast live at the door of the emergency room and released the news that he was dead.

Lin Jiaqiao would never forgive her.

At this time, the elevator reached the first floor. Lin Jiaqiao was still hiding behind Qin Guan and walked out in a very awkward posture.

Officer Lu teased her, "It's really rare that our bird brother can be shy."

Qin Guan moved her in front of him, covered her eyes with his hands, and said, "Let's go."

Lin Dapeng and Officer Lu, two straight men, looked at the young couple blankly. Lin Dapeng asked, "What happened?"

Qin Guan explained, "My eyes were swollen from crying, and I dared not see anyone."

Officer Lu nodded, indicating that he had learned something. He said to his master, "Look at our young Master Qin. I should be single now."

His master rolled his eyes at him, looked at the young couple walking away, and said unhappily, "Hurry up, go back and make a summary of the case."

Officer Lu joked with him, "I didn't expect you to be a dad with this style."

"I thought you would scold Zhizhi and stop her from crying. I didn't expect you to not even say a harsh word to her."

"Sure enough, girls need to be spoiled."

Lin Dapeng was starting the car when he said casually, "What does this have to do with girls and boys?"

"You have to cry when you are sad. We are all adults, who doesn't care about face? If you are not particularly sad, who would cry in front of others?"

He looked at Officer Lu and said, "You must have forgotten everything."

"That year you didn't save that suicidal old man, and you were crying in the stairwell, crying louder than Lin Zhizhi, with tears and snot all over your face. Did I ever despise you?"

"So, there's nothing shameful about crying."

“When you want to cry but can’t, that’s the end.”

As police officers, they may not remember how many people they have saved, but they will definitely remember those they failed to save.

Officer Lu looked at Lin Dapeng for a long time, then suddenly hugged him and said, "Master, please be my dad."

"Our old man Lu is so bad. He's always pretentious and always scolds me for no reason. You should be my father."

Lin Dapeng drove calmly, "Okay, I'll go to the director's office when I get back and ask him to sign the adoption agreement."

"But let's make it clear that our family can't afford to buy a toy that costs a thousand dollars."

Officer Lu immediately let him go and said dissatisfiedly: "What kind of toy is that? That's a figurine—"

He was about to educate the outdated elderly people about the difference between action figures and toys when his cell phone rang.

It was a call from a colleague in the bureau.

After hanging up the phone, he said to Lin Dapeng: "We still haven't contacted Xiang Xiaoyuan, and her assistant's phone number is also unreachable. We have contacted the local police station, and we would like to trouble them to find her."

Seeing Lin Dapeng frowning, he asked, "Master, is there any problem?"

Lin Dapeng asked: "Has Xiang Xiaoyuan contacted her family?"

Officer Lu shook his head, "No."

"Her parents only knew how to play mahjong. When I asked them, they didn't even know their daughter was on a business trip."

"I thought Xiaoyuan was lying. I checked her phone records and found that she had called home just before boarding the plane. What kind of parents are they? They don't take their child seriously at all."

Lin Dapeng frowned even more tightly: "Does Xiang Xiaoyuan have any relatives or friends? Does she have an emergency contact?"

Officer Lu said: "She has no other relatives or friends, but she does have two emergency contacts. The first is her assistant, who went out of town with her, and the other is Zhizhi."

"By the way, I heard that she had a boyfriend, but he has passed away."

Lin Dapeng sighed, "Go back and contact them again and find the person as soon as possible."

Officer Lu asked, "Do you think Xiang Xiaoyuan is related to this case?"

Lin Dapeng shook his head: "It's hard to say. She's a girl, and losing contact with her is not a good thing."

The two were stuck on the cross-sea bridge due to a red light.

In the evening, the sun is hanging in the sky, and the whole city becomes gentle.

Officer Lu rolled down the sun visor and consoled him, "Don't worry. I've been there before. It's really too big, and there's really no signal in some places."

Lin Dapeng was somewhat yearning, "When I retire, I will take your aunt there for a visit."

Officer Lu said, "That's great. I'll write you a travel guide later."

The green light came on, and Lin Dapeng's double ring merged into the traffic and soon disappeared.

Lin Jiaqiao waited in the car for a while before Qin Guan came back from the convenience store.

He bought two bottles of ice water, wrapped them carefully in tissues, and handed them to Lin Jiaqiao.

Lin Jiaqiao was probably crying so hard that she became silly and directly put the bottom of the bottle into her eyes.

Qin Guan showed disgust on his face, but he couldn't bear to scold her. Taking advantage of the fact that she couldn't see, he made a beating gesture to vent his frustration.

He asked: "Send you back to the company?"

Lin Jiaqiao said loudly: "It's already so late and you're still going back to the company. I want to go home."

Qin Guan took a deep breath and silently made a series of punches at her.

Lin Jiaqiao didn't specify anything, so Qin Guan drove the car back to the downstairs of Lin Dapeng's house.

As soon as they entered the room, the first thing they saw was the coffee table filled with invoices and statements.

Ms. Qiao wore glasses and stared at the list in her hand: "… I feel bad if I lose a dollar. I can't play with stocks and funds. It's good to make this kind of steady money. - Hey, where is the VAT invoice for Qianjin Department Store?"

Gu Yiming immediately took out an envelope from a pile of documents and said, "Here."

The two then remembered that it was the end of the month and Ms. Qiao should go back to work.

Ms. Qiao is an accountant and all the small shops nearby hire her to do their books.

Seeing them coming back, Ms. Qiao looked at the time and said, "It's already evening. I'll go cook."

Gu Yiming stood up first and said, "You go ahead and do your work. I'll do it."
