Police station. Tianhe Branch.
A cigarette was pinched between his fingers, and the smoke from it soon filled the small interrogation room with smoke. There were a bunch of extinguished cigarette butts in the ashtray. Zhang Chen, who rarely smoked, was particularly addicted to cigarettes today. He always felt that there was a stuffiness in his chest that he couldn't get rid of.
Qiao Zhenye couldn't stand it anymore, so he walked over and opened the window of the interrogation room to get some fresh air.
"Captain Qiao, what do you mean? We didn't offend anyone. A student is having a birthday and we just want to go over and have a drink - is this against the law?"
"Have a birthday drink?" Qiao Zhenye sneered. "Coach Zhang, this is not the first time we have dealt with each other. Some things are better to be discussed openly. If you really want to have a birthday drink for a student, why would I bring you here? Am I bored? Let me ask you, what's going on with the brilliant students in the box? What's going on with so many brilliant students gathered at the entrance of the hotel? It would be a light charge to sue you for disturbing public order----"
"Students from the Brilliant Martial Arts School were beaten up in a private room at the hotel. I wanted to ask Captain Qiao what the situation was. You are a police officer, shouldn't you be the one to investigate this matter? As for those students at the hotel entrance, they just happened to run into them - they just stood at the entrance for a while, how big of a deal could it be?"
"Take a look for yourself." Qiao Zhenye handed over his cell phone.
Zhang Chen took the phone and found that there was a video on the screen.
Snapped!
Zhang Chen slammed his phone on the table and shouted angrily, "Too treacherous. They actually dared to secretly record the video."
"This is a means of self-protection. Why can't they record the video?" Qiao Zhenye said sarcastically. He took his phone back from the table and said, "This phone is newly bought for me by my wife. If it is damaged, you have to compensate me."
Zhang Chen sighed and said, "Brother, I've been tricked this time. You have to find a way to help me."
"I'll help you?" Qiao Zhenye said with a sneer. "The evidence is all there. If I handle it unfairly, won't they have anything to say? Besides, I can't do something like favoring your Brilliant Martial Arts School. Don't you know what kind of people your students are?"
Qiao Zhenye and Zhang Chen are brothers from the same school, but they took completely different paths. Zhang Chen is more talented in Sanda boxing than Qiao Zhenye. After winning several Sanda championships, he went to the Brilliant Martial Arts School to be a coach. Qiao Zhenye quit early and relied on his own efforts to enter the police system and become a policeman. After years of hard work, he has now become the squadron leader of the Tianhe Police Station. His rank is not too high, but his power is very great.
Zhang Chen frowned and asked, "Who is the other party?"
"You don't even know where the person comes from, and you're going to rush up and beat him up with such a large force?" Qiao Zhenye said, suppressing his anger.
"I had drunk quite a bit of wine at the time, and someone came over and said that a student from the martial arts school had been beaten up. I slammed the table and yelled to my brothers to come with me to get back at the scene -- and so many people showed up." Zhang Chen said with some regret. "You know my temper, and I'm prone to bad things when I drink too much."
"You know that drinking too much can cause bad things, but why don't you stop drinking?"
Zhang Chen smiled bitterly, touched his ribs, and said, "I can't quit. It hurts here if I quit. The wound from that knife was too severe."
Qiao Zhenye knew about Zhang Chen's past. He sighed softly and said, "The person in the box is Fang Yan, a teacher at Suzaku Middle School."
"Fang Yan?" Zhang Chen went over the name several times in his mind and said, "This name sounds familiar. I think I've heard it somewhere."
"You must have heard of it." Qiao Zhenye said with great certainty. "A few days ago, a Japanese delegation came to Zhuque Middle School. A Japanese student cheated in the fencing competition, which angered Teacher Fang. He jumped up and hit the student away. My nephew has told me about it dozens of times. I have heard of his name. How could you, Huihuang and Zhuque, be so close to each other, not have heard of him?"
Zhang Chen suddenly realized and said, "It turned out to be him. His skills are so amazing that I was just about to go and challenge him."
"What did you say?" Qiao Zhenye was furious.
"It's just a sparring match." Zhang Chen said indifferently. "You know my temper. If I can't enjoy the good wine and the good opponent, it would be more painful than killing me----"
“What if people don’t compete with you?”
"Then I will force him to compete with me."
"Zhang Chen."
"Brother, you can't persuade me on this matter."

Fang Yan originally wanted to live with a beautiful woman, but now a hero has come.
Lu Chaoge's small courtyard has two bedrooms. In order to repay Lu Chaoge's selfless help, Fang Yan once proposed to live in a room with her. Lu Chaoge refused, but the hero readily agreed.
The hero's residence has been settled, but Fang Yan has to worry about a new problem.
What to do in the future
We have to find them a job, otherwise, they will just live off their savings. How can his salary be enough to cover the expenses of three people
Besides, his alcoholic senior brother asked the hero to come to him because he naturally wanted them to gain experience in society.
How to gain experience
Asking them to perform their unique skill of eating glass on the streets is obviously not an option.
Let them go to the school security department to work as security guards for Zhuque, but the school is not recruiting now.
Fang Yan thought about it over and over again, but still couldn't think of a feasible solution.
So he found his cell phone and called Lu Chaoge.
Lu Chaoge's voice was a little hoarse, and he didn't know if it was a throat problem or a cold.
"What's the matter?" Lu Chaoge asked after answering the phone.
"Principal Lu, did I disturb your rest?" Fang Yan asked with a smile.
"Tell me something."
"It's like this. Two of my friends came to see me from my hometown, and I want to find them a job. But you know, I'm a stranger in Huacheng, how can I find them a job? So, I want to ask Principal Lu for help. You have a wide network of contacts and a great reputation. As long as you are willing, it won't be a matter of a word to arrange jobs for two people."
"------" Lu Chaoge remained silent.
"Principal Lu, this is a very small matter. You can solve it when you have time. Don't waste too much energy on it. You are a woman who can do big things. It's getting late. Principal Lu, go to bed early. Don't stay up late, and take care of yourself." Fang Yan said sincerely and affectionately, fulfilling the care and concern of a subordinate for his superior's health.
After hanging up the phone, Fang Yan closed his eyes happily.
When you have a problem you can't solve, take it to someone who can.
early morning.
The hero and the good man were practicing the cross-plum blossom step in the yard, while Fang Yan was trimming the flowers and plants inside and outside the house. This was one of the three conditions Lu Chaoge put forward when she lent him the house, and he couldn't let this woman have an excuse to take the house back.
The three of them were sweating all over. After returning to the room and taking a shower, Fang Yan poured the medicine boiled on the stove into a thermos cup, waved to the heroes, and said, "Let's go and have breakfast."
So the heroes and good men hurried after him. They were already very hungry.
After having breakfast in the school cafeteria, the hero went back to continue practicing martial arts, while Fang Yan walked towards the administrative building with the thermos cup in hand.
At the door of Lu Chaoge's office, Fang Yan took the initiative to greet the beautiful secretary Xiao Meng: "Good morning, Xiao Meng."
"Good morning, Teacher Fang." Xiao Meng saw the thermos cup in Fang Yan's hand and asked with a smile, "Is this a loving breakfast for me?"
Fang Yan shook his head and asked, "Is Principal Lu here to work?"
"I just came in." Xiao Meng looked at Fang Yan and asked in surprise, "Are you going to bring breakfast to Principal Lu?"
Principal Lu Chaoge is a well-known ice queen in the school. She has never been seen getting close to any young man. Could it be that Fang Yan wants to pursue Principal Lu? Isn't this guy too bold
Fang Yan waved his hand and said, "What does a child know?"
Fang Yan ignored what Xiao Meng was thinking and walked over and knocked on Lu Chaoge's office door.
"Come in." Lu Chaoge's voice came out. His voice was hoarse, not as concise and crisp as usual.
When Fang Yan pushed the door open, Lu Chaoge was standing in the corner, hunched over, trimming potted plants.
Fang Yan smiled and said, "Principal Lu is indeed a flower lover. He ranks first among the people I know."
Lu Chaoge was wearing a black business suit, with a white vest underneath the well-tailored uniform. The outer garment was serious, while the lining was relaxed, which neither looked old-fashioned nor too casual. Lu Chaoge was born to be a clothes hanger.
Of course, the key is a good-looking face. People with good-looking faces look good in any clothes.
Lu Chaosing stopped the scissors in his hand, turned around and looked at Fang Yan, and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Principal Lu, I called you last night and heard that something was wrong with your voice. I selected some Chinese medicinal herbs and made a pot of herbal tea for you. This tea can treat early colds, moisturize the heart and lungs, and protect the throat. You can try it. If the effect is good, I will make a few more pots for you."
Principal Lu stared at Fang Yan calmly without saying a word.
Fang Yan handed the teacup over and said, "Principal Lu, don't worry. I didn't make the medicine for you just to ask you to do something for me. I just respect your character and thank you for your concern and care for me all the time."
Lu Chaoge took the thermos cup, looked at Fang Yan and said, "Thank you for the medicine----I can't do what you want."
