Arrogance and domineering, starting in the 1990s

After Qin Zheng finished explaining the whole story, he stood nervously to the side, looking down at himself.

He didn't even look at the old bureau chief who was smoking one cigarette after another.

It wasn't until much later that Zheng Jianguo, looking exhausted, finally stubbed out his cigarette.

"Get that bastard here!"

Qin Zheng was taken aback upon hearing this. What a jerk!

"Director, what do you mean?"

"Don't play dumb with me. Dai Kun is just a gang leader. The best trick he can come up with is to force a confession."

"A seasoned practitioner of the art of intimidation, scare tactics, and deception."

"There must be someone giving him advice behind the scenes."

Qin Zheng's face immediately showed a look of "sudden realization," and he said with heartfelt admiration:

"The director is truly wise. My crude ability to judge people almost fooled me."

For a moment, I genuinely believed the other person possessed such intelligence.

Zheng Jianguo's lips twitched twice, and he wanted to lash out, but he managed to suppress his temper.

The other person's compliments were so fake that he didn't believe a word of them.

Having worked as a criminal investigator for ten years, what kind of tricks haven't you seen?

You want me to take the initiative and take the blame, which I can understand!

But to be forced to take the blame like this, an "old-timer"...

Alas, those kids from Nancun are taking advantage of my old age and weakness!

There are plenty of capable men under his command, but most of them are brave and valiant generals who can catch a thief and demolish half a city.

People like Qin Zheng, who are both brave and cautious and know the rules, are extremely rare.

Oh well, I'll be retiring soon anyway, so I might as well keep carrying it.

"Chief, shall I go and fetch someone right away?"

After a moment of reflection, Zheng Jianguo regained his composure and calm.

He gazed intently at the approaching darkness outside the window.

He said in a deep voice, "Invite? I'm afraid you can't get them to come."

Qin Zheng raised an eyebrow. He didn't believe that. He was the head of a major crime unit.

If you personally invite them, would they dare not come?

Even if the other party is just a released convict, or even a local tyrant,

He can make anyone come to the station to see him with just one phone call.

He has that much confidence.

Seeing Qin Zheng's expression, Zheng Jianguo felt a slight sense of pleasure; he was still too inexperienced.

He suggested, "Think carefully, have you ever really gotten any leverage or information about him?"

"He's just openly ignoring you, and there's nothing you can do about it. You can't force a cow to drink water if it won't drink it."

Qin Zheng thought about it for a moment and realized that it seemed to be true. Although Wu Shu was ruthless, he always had a "legitimate reason" for taking action.

Even if you injure or cripple the other party, it is because the other party attacked first.

He neither joined any criminal organization nor engaged in any illegal activities such as forced buying or selling; at most, he was just a little eccentric.

Qin Zheng had a preconceived notion that the other party, who was hanging out with Dai Kun and his group, must not be a good person.

Whether he is a good person or not is another matter, but it is true that the other party did not break the law.

Thinking about it that way, it really does seem a bit tricky.

Seeing the other person's expression, Zheng Jianguo smiled wryly and pointed to the darkening sky outside.

"Let's go to the barbecue stalls tonight, have some meat, maybe we'll find a solution?"

Qin Zheng had no appetite for barbecue at the moment; he merely glanced at the barbecue stall the other person pointed to.

But with just that one glance, he immediately cursed inwardly, "Truly a cunning old fox!"

Old ginger is spicier! That's some pretty cunning trick!

Snapped!

Qin Zheng felt a sharp pain in his heart as he was struck hard on the back of the head. He was doomed! He had unconsciously let his true thoughts show on his face!

Zheng Jianguo's eyes widened in anger, and his mustache stood on end!

I'm already taking the blame and handling all the mess for you! And you still dare to look down on me in your heart?!

"Director, please calm down!" Qin Zheng said, shaking the kettle in his hand as he sensed the situation was turning bad.

"Oh, there's no hot water. I'll go get some and make you a cup of tea!"

Seeing the other party's "running away with their head in their hands," Zheng Jianguo was both amused and annoyed. He shook his head secretly and prepared to pour himself a cup of tea.

He glanced around and noticed that the place where he kept his tea was empty. He wondered to himself, "Where's my tea canister?"

Suddenly remembering how the other person had run away clutching their stomach, he jumped up in anger and started yelling in the office!

"Qin Zheng!!! You little rascal!"

Even after Qin Zheng had run all the way to the stairwell, he could still faintly hear the other party's angry roar.

He rubbed the back of his head and grinned.

"I can't let you hit me for nothing."

As he spoke, he glanced at the tea leaves in his arms and immediately beamed with joy.

He even started humming a recently popular song.

He said, "What's a little pain in the face of wind and rain...?"

...

Wu Shu hung the lollipop he had stolen by the door when he went to sleep last night, so he was able to sleep in late, which was rare for him.

He yawned and sat calmly at the dining table.

I had just eaten two eggs when Wu Ran rushed in.

"You need to pee, why are you running so fast?" Wu Shu said casually.

Wu Ran was taken aback by the remark, his face stiffening for a moment before he gritted his teeth and said, "Look at you, getting impatient too!"

As he spoke, he handed the account book in his hand to Wu Shu, who glanced at it twice.

I found that the total income was only a few thousand.

He raised an eyebrow and put the egg down.

Explain in detail.

Seeing that the other party was serious, Wu Ran immediately started gesturing wildly as he spoke.

It turns out that starting last night, a large number of joint defense team members appeared from who-knows-where.

They deliberately loiter around various barbecue stalls.

He didn't go in to eat skewers or drink alcohol; he just kept watch and maintained order near the barbecue stalls.

Although the beautiful women under Zhang Jun's command went in to sell as usual,

But the diners looked very uncomfortable when they saw the patrol officers outside.

Most people buy a pound for themselves, and they won't even let you peel the shrimp for free anymore.

They were afraid that the patrol officers outside would come looking for them.

Although the fighting and disturbances stopped, the dozen or so beautiful women didn't even manage to peel ten shrimp all night.

Moreover, these people only patrolled the northern part of the city; the other barbecue stalls were all operating normally.

Wu Shu quickly figured out what was going on and a disdainful expression appeared on his face.

The locals are so rude! They won't even come to your door with a gift when they need a favor.

They'll resort to underhanded tactics.

"Alright, I got it." Wu Shu continued peeling the egg, his face growing increasingly annoyed.

Is it even human to live a life where you have to peel eggs yourself every day?

"Also, Brother Le said that Fatty Gao wants you to go with him to the auction tomorrow."

"I replied, but I'm busy."

I've already told them the solutions, so they just need to follow them. Watching these predictable auctions is really pointless.

Wu Ran curled his lip; he was practically the other party's secretary now.

Besides bookkeeping and reporting, I also have to help with daily inventory and calculations.

I haven't memorized my own words for days, and my mouth is itching to learn them.

Seeing the other person turn to leave, Wu Shu said lazily, "Save me a taxi."

Wu Ran pushed up his glasses, his hands unconsciously clenching. Fine, he could tolerate being bossed around! Making money wasn't something to be ashamed of!

But now they make him do even the smallest things like hailing a taxi! They treat him like a lackey!

He was, after all, a top student from a key municipal high school, ranking seventh in the entire grade!

How dare he?!

Feeling humiliated, Wu Ran suddenly turned around and took the two hundred yuan that Wu Shu gave him!

His face no longer showed any resentment, but in his heart he still thought viciously, "Thirty years east of the river! Thirty years west of the river!"

"Don't deceive..."

Seeing Wu Ran standing motionless at the door, blocking the sunlight streaming in, Wu Shu stood up.

He casually kicked the other person.

"Aren't you going?"

"He's so silly, he doesn't even realize he's blocking the light."

Wu Ran stumbled from the kick and ran out without looking back, clutching two hundred yuan tightly in his hand!
