Chongwenmen Street.

Lanzhou beef ramen restaurant.

Although it was already evening, there were still many diners in the ramen restaurant.

The owner of the ramen restaurant was a very sturdy middle-aged man wearing a white coat. He greeted the diners with a smile.

Qian Rufa seemed to be familiar with the shopkeeper. As soon as he entered the door, he shouted, "Old Bai! Come over here and receive the guests!"

The shopkeeper Lao Bai did not take this joke as a joke at all. He glanced at Qian Rufa, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he quickly walked towards him.

"Chief Qian, why are you here?" Lao Bai greeted with a smile.

"I've told you so many times, it's the deputy section chief! Why can't you remember it!" Qian Rufa glanced at Yang Denghuan and then corrected him.

"In my place, section chiefs and deputy section chiefs are almost the same," Lao Bai said with a smile.

"What do you mean 'almost'? It's far from it!" Qian Rufa said without a smile on his pockmarked face.

"Okay, okay, Deputy Section Chief Qian, is this okay?" Lao Bai did not argue with Qian Rufa, but said with a smile.

"You! You just can't change this bad habit. I dare not come to your house for dinner in the future!" Qian Rufa glared at Lao Bai and said.

"I wouldn't dare to say that. We welcome Qian anytime...Deputy Section Chief." Lao Bai said with a smile.

"The same old rules, first cut me a pound of beef, then a plate of peanuts, do you have cucumbers? If you have, give me one!" Qian Rufa said with a smile.

"Yes! Everything! As long as you, Deputy Section Chief Qian, come, I have everything here!" Lao Bai said with a smile.

Although Lao Bai kept talking, his hands were even more busy. Soon he brought up the beef, cucumber and peanuts.

When Lao Bai was serving the dishes, he saw Yang Denghuan and was stunned. He asked in surprise, "Mr. Yang, how did you end up working with Deputy Section Chief Qian?"

Yang Deng laughed but didn't answer. Qian Rufa beside him smiled and said, "So you two know each other? You don't know, this is Captain Yang from our Special Agent Division!"

Yang Deng laughed and said, "What are you talking about! We are all neighbors! Why should we differentiate ourselves from each other? Lao Bai, business has been good recently, right?"

After hearing this, Lao Bai showed a happy expression on his face, and said to Yang Denghuan: "Thanks to you, it's not bad."

Yang Deng laughed and then sat down.

"Don't just stand there, heat up two more pots of rice wine for us!" Qian Rufa said loudly.

Lao Bai agreed, turned and walked away. After a while, he came back with a small porcelain jar containing hot rice wine.

After Lao Bai left, Qian Rufa took out the rice wine and poured a glass for Yang Denghuan.

"I have to report tomorrow, so let's not drink white wine. How about some rice wine?" Qian Rufa said with a smile as he poured himself a glass of wine.

"Of course! Let me wish you success in advance!" Yang Denghuan said, raising his rice wine glass.

Qian Rufa smiled and clinked lips with Yang Denghuan, then said casually, "Hey! I have no immediate success. That's all the responsibility of the Special High Section of the Military Police. I'm just doing odd jobs."

"It's okay to do odd jobs! In our entire police station, I think no one else can do odd jobs except you!" Yang Deng said with a smile.

"You are the only one who can talk!" Qian Rufa smiled and stretched out his hand to touch Yang Denghuan.

"Who are you planning to bring with you?" Yang Denghuan took a sip of rice wine and asked Qian Rufa.

"It's just a team of a few guys, no more than a dozen people at most." Qian Rufa said with a smile.

"Okay, these people must be your relatives." Yang Deng said with a smile.

Qian Rufa took another sip of rice wine, then smiled and said, "Actually, Zheng Xiaolong came too early this time. The original time was not this time, which put us in a very passive position!"

Yang Denghuan laughed when he heard this, and pointed at Qian Rufa and said, "Old Qian, that's a bit abrupt! There's no such thing as a sooner or later!"

Qian Rufa smiled, shook his head and said, "Actually, it is divided into early and late. Zheng Xiaolong will arrive about a week earlier than originally planned, which puts higher demands on our security work."

Yang Denghuan couldn't help but smile again after hearing this and said, "Even if there are any requests, that's Tado Okajo's business. You just need to do your best!"

Sure enough, after hearing this, Qian Rufa nodded with a rather sad look on his face and said, "Yes! Even if we are anxious, it will be useless."

Yang Denghuan picked up a piece of beef with chopsticks and chewed it slowly. After swallowing all the beef, he smiled and said, "Old Qian, you don't come to me for no reason. Tell me, why did you invite me to dinner today?"

After hearing this, Qian Rufa showed an embarrassed look on his pockmarked face, and actually felt a little ashamed.

"Tell me! If you don't tell me, I will really think that you are treating me to a meal!" Yang Denghuan glanced at Qian Rufa and said slowly.

Qian Rufa chuckled twice, then said: "After all, the person who understands me best is you, Yang Denghuan!"

Yang Denghuan sneered and said to Qian Rufa, "Just say it, don't be shy! I don't even know you, how hard it is to give you a meal!"

Qian Rufa smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Actually, I think Cao Youguang's visit to Beiping this time is very likely related to this Zheng Xiaolong!"

"Really? What evidence do you have?" Yang Deng asked with a smile.

"Intuition." Qian Rufa glanced at Yang Denghuan and said.

Yang Denghuan nodded and said to Qian Rufa, "If you ask me, intuition is very important."

After finishing speaking, Yang Denghuan changed the subject and continued, "But now that Qin Huaiyong is dead, the line with Cao Youguang has been cut off! I am ready to withdraw the people at Yongdingmen Railway Station! At this time, I really need Qiao Wude!"

After hearing this, Qian Rufa couldn't help but said anxiously: "From what you said, I know that you are in need of people now, and you are likely to give up Yongdingmen Railway Station!"

At this point, Qian Rufa was very excited. He grabbed Yang Denghuan's hand and whispered, "No! Brother! We must not give up on Yongdingmen Railway Station. Qiao Wude also knows Cao Youguang. What if he bumps into us?"

After hearing this, Yang Denghuan shook his head unmoved and said with a smile: "Forget it! As for Qiao Wude, even though we have cooperated with Cao Youguang before, so many years have passed! I bet that even if he stood opposite to Cao Youguang, Qiao Wude might not be able to recognize Cao Youguang." After Yang Denghuan finished speaking, he thought for a while, pointed at Qian Rufa and said: "Old Qian, in fact, this also includes the two of us. Even if Cao Youguang met us face to face, you might not be able to recognize him!"

After hearing this, Qian Rufa could only nod silently.

What Yang Denghuan said was correct. Although he had come into contact with Cao Youguang, it had been too long. Even if he and Cao Youguang were standing opposite each other, he might not recognize Cao Youguang!
However, Qian Rufa still did not give up. He held Yang Denghuan's hand tightly and continued, "Then don't retreat yet! What if Qiao Wude gets lucky? What if he recognizes Cao Youguang?"

Yang Denghuan pulled his hand out from under Qian Rufa's hand, shook his head and said, "Old Qian, the chances are too small! For this small chance, you want me to drop off a dozen people at Yongdingmen Railway Station? I don't think it's necessary."

Qian Rufa listened to what Yang Denghuan said and felt that every word made sense. He did not say anything but just looked at Yang Denghuan pitifully.

Yang Denghuan was really helpless, he sighed and said: "Okay! Just let it go! Qiao Wude won't withdraw yet!"

Sure enough, when Qian Rufa heard this, he nodded repeatedly, looking like a child who had picked up candy.

"Apart from this, is there anything else? If you can finish it in one breath, it will be worthy of this bowl of beef noodles!" Yang Deng said teasingly with a smile.

"That's all. It's just a small matter. Since you agreed, it's over!" Qian Rufa shook his head and said.

While the two were talking, the door of the ramen restaurant opened and several people walked in from outside.

"Professor Chen, this ramen restaurant is considered to be one of the more authentic ramen restaurants in Peking." A voice came in with someone and reached the ears of Qian Rufa and Yang Denghuan.

Yang Denghuan looked in the direction of the voice, and his heart was moved. He saw Ah Qi.

Ah Qi was still beautiful and bright. She wore a long windbreaker on her tall figure, which concealed her curvy body.

Next to Ah Qi, there was a man wearing a navy blue suit and a pair of glasses. He looked gentle and like a scholar. Who else could it be but Cao Youguang!

Unexpectedly, he would meet Cao Youguang and Ah Qi here. Yang Denghuan's heart couldn't help but move.

As soon as Cao Youguang entered the door, he saw Yang Denghuan eating with a pockmarked man, and he was stunned.

Cao Youguang knew both of these people!
There is no need to mention Yang Denghuan, and the other pockmarked face is too easy to recognize, who else could it be but Qian Rufa!
Cao Youguang's expression remained unchanged as he walked past the tables of Yang Denghuan and Qian Rufa and walked straight forward.

Following behind Cao Youguang was Ma Jingmin, and finally one of Ma Jingmin's men. The four of them passed by Yang Denghuan and Qian Rufa one after another.

"Old Ma, look at where we sit?" Cao Youguang ignored Yang Denghuan and didn't even look at their table. He just turned around and asked Ma Jingmin.

Ma Jingmin smiled and shouted directly to Lao Bai: "Lao Bai, there are four of us, arrange a seat for us!"

Lao Bai took a quick glance and felt that these people looked vaguely familiar, but he couldn't remember their specific names or what they did.

However, businessmen are very sensitive when it comes to welcoming and seeing off guests. Just now, they heard the man call this man "Old Ma", so they immediately smiled and said, "Oh my! Look at my sharp eyes, isn't this Uncle Ma! What good wind has blown you here today! Come on, come and sit over here!"

After Lao Bai finished speaking, he pretended to wipe the table hard again and again.

"What wind? East, west, south, and north winds!" Ma Jingmin said with a smile, as if he was joking with an old friend who hadn't seen him for many years.

"Are you still the same as always, old man? I'll serve you the food right away!" Old Bai said as he turned around and served the food.

"Same as always, the beef must be fresh!" Ma Jingmin said with a smile.

"No problem, no problem at all!" Lao Bai's voice could be heard clearly from far away, and one could tell that an old customer had come.

Qian Rufa only turned his head to take a look and saw the bright and charming Ah Qi, passionately holding the arm of the gentlemanly villain Cao Youguang, who even had a smug look on his face. So Qian Rufa didn't want to look any further and turned his face away.

Yang Denghuan was in a position where he was facing Ah Qi. When he looked up, he could see Ah Qi's beautiful face smiling at him.

However, Yang Denghuan looked calm and composed, clinking glasses with Qian Rufa from time to time, as if there was no such person as Ah Qi sitting opposite them.

Qian Rufa achieved his goal and did not mention anything about Zheng Xiaolong and the Secret Service Department. He just kept persuading Yang Denghuan to drink and eat. Of course, he also ate a lot himself.

Cao Youguang's table was very quiet, with only the occasional whispers of four people and a giggle or two from time to time.

After a while, after eating and drinking to their heart's content, Qian Rufa paid the bill and left the beef noodle restaurant side by side with Yang Denghuan.

"How is this beef noodle restaurant? Is it okay?" Qian Rufa asked.

When the door opened and closed, Yang Denghuan seemed to see Ah Qi's eyes following him out of the beef noodle restaurant. When he heard Qian Ru's question, Yang Denghuan put his hands in his pockets and said with a smile, "Speaking of Northwestern cuisine, this beef noodle restaurant is pretty authentic!"

Qian Rufa and Yang Denghuan had not drunk too much, so their minds were clear. After hearing what Yang Denghuan said, Qian Rufa said very proudly, "That's right. How could the place my brother chose be wrong?"

Yang Deng smiled, stretched out his hand to Qian Rufa and said, "Old Qian, let's go! I won't see you off. Get a rickshaw and go back by yourself!"

After saying that, Yang Denghuan walked towards his own home.

"Who said you should care? I'll go back by myself! Go back slowly!" Qian Rufa said loudly behind him.

Yang Denghuan did not answer, but waved his hand vigorously and turned away.

Standing at the entrance of the building, Yang Denghuan saw Qian Rufa hailing a rickshaw on the street and got on it from afar, but he stopped.

Suddenly, Yang Denghuan had an idea and wanted to rush back to the beef ramen restaurant to meet Cao Youguang!
However, in the end, Yang Denghuan suppressed this idea and climbed up the stairs step by step.

Cao Youguang is here, and I guess the city of Beiping is going to be in chaos again!
When I opened the door, the house was empty. Aya was gone. She must have gone back to her parents' home.

Yang Denghuan felt physically and mentally exhausted and just wanted to have a good sleep.

However, should I give Aya a call?
Thinking of this, Yang Denghuan reached out and picked up the phone, but after thinking about it, Yang Denghuan finally did not dial the number, but put the phone back in its place.

Let’s wait and see!
Yang Denghuan fell asleep without taking off his clothes. Soon, even snoring sounds could be heard in the room.

However, for some reason, Ah Qi appeared in Yang Denghuan’s dream that night.

In the dream, Ah Qi smiled sweetly, had bright eyes and a tender look on her face that seemed to be able to squeeze out water! (End of this chapter)
