Crazy Nezha

As the sun sets, this is Chen Rui's workplace: the Xincheng Public Security Bureau, Shihe Branch.

In the last row of the large conference room, Chen Rui sat with her head down, her hands on her thighs, her thumbs rhythmically tapping. A crisp tapping sound could be heard!

This policewoman from Xincheng, Comrade Chen Rui, is using her phone to reply to Li Tianbao's message.

Li Tianbao: [Aren't you on administrative duty this week? It's already 6 o'clock, I'm at your office gate.]

*Clap clap clap clap* Chen Rui replied: [Meeting time! A recent AI marketing project collapsed, and the branch office dumped it on our team. It's actually a pyramid scheme scam. So annoying!]

[There are also people stealing electric bike batteries... I'll have them arrested...]

Li Tianbao rode his second uncle's electric bike and parked it in front of Chen Rui's workplace.

After leaving Hengbi Garden, he went to the supermarket at the entrance and bought two sets of red thermal underwear, one set for men, which was for himself!

I'm planning to give a women's set to Chen Rui.

If you break someone else's things, you have to pay for them. You have to have a conscience and be loyal to others. Li Tianbao is a man who values ​​loyalty and friendship!

Then I went back to my second uncle's house, took a shower, washed my hair, and put on my red thermal underwear. I immediately felt radiant!

After all, if you smell like cow and don't shower, you might offend people.

Li Tianbao is sending a text message: [Is the meeting still not over? I've been waiting for 4 minutes.]

……

The police station's meeting room is on the third floor, while the first floor is the case-handling hall, where cases from several surrounding police stations are reported.

In the lobby on the first floor, several people who had been scammed were registering their information. They were all honest men around fifty years old who fantasized about getting rich overnight and making money while lying down. Each of them paid 2.8 yuan to buy an AI promotion package...

An older man suddenly stared wide-eyed at a group of people coming down the stairs, both men and women. Among them was a young girl with a high ponytail, the setting sun casting its light through the window onto her face, making her look almost dreamlike.

It was Chen Rui, who was known as the "Police Flower of Xincheng".

Chen Rui's beauty feels very real, unlike the faces of internet celebrities enhanced by beauty filters. She has a tall and well-proportioned figure, and her years of practicing women's martial arts have given her a special aura.

She is also one of the few beautiful female criminal investigators among the younger generation in Xincheng.

The man paused for a moment, and a phrase popped into his mind: the taste of first love.

"Sir, have you filled out the form yet?" the case officer in charge of receiving you urged.

The middle-aged man snapped out of his daze and exclaimed "Ah!" The girl with the high ponytail walked past him, leaving behind a whiff of her virgin fragrance!

One of the investigators, a rather young man named Liu Wenbin, was Chen Rui's senior colleague. He greeted her with a smile, "Chen Rui, are you done with the meeting?"

Chen Rui turned around and said, "Yes. Is Brother Liu on duty tonight?"

"I left work a long time ago, but I've been waiting for you to finish your meeting for two hours."

"What are you waiting for me to do? Is there a case?" Chen Rui asked, puzzled.

Liu Wenbin walked to the door and politely asked, "Are you free to have dinner together tonight? My uncle got two gym memberships for the swimming pool. It's a newly opened indoor pool, and the water is very clean. Do you like swimming?"

Liu Wenbin's uncle was a deputy director.

"No, thank you." Chen Rui refused decisively, then smiled faintly, "My classmate invited me to dinner, and he's picking me up. We're going roller skating!"

"Huh?" Liu Wenbin looked out the glass door and saw a handsome young man sitting on an electric scooter, looking impatient.

Li Tianbao shouted, "Chen Rui, I've been waiting for you for a full five minutes! You've gone too far."

"Are you trying to die? Stop yelling!" Chen Rui quickly went over.

A look of disgust flashed across Liu Wenbin's eyes. It was that short drama actor again? Liu Wenbin knew Li Tianbao, and he also knew Li Tianbao's father and mother.

He watched Chen Rui walk to the electric scooter, the two of them chatting and laughing. Then Chen Rui plopped down on the back of the scooter. Although they kept their distance, it still made him feel a pang of sadness.

The electric scooter had a fake GTR logo stuck to its back! Yin Jianshe bought it online.

A pang of jealousy rose in Liu Wenbin's eyes as he stared silently at the electric scooter that was driving further and further away. He instinctively rang the doorbell of a Honda Civic parked by the door. Beep! Beep!

"I want a new car!" He immediately called his dad: "I want to buy a GTR!"

……

……

Li Tianbao was riding his electric bike when he glanced at Chen Rui in the rearview mirror and saw that Chen Rui was also looking at him in the mirror, her high ponytail blowing in the wind.

Chen Rui: "Where should we eat?"

"We're eating Lanzhou noodles. Didn't that pervert steal your underwear? I bought you a new set; it's under the seat of your electric scooter."

What size did you buy?

Li Tianbao gave a size, and Chen Rui punched him in the back, saying, "Too small!"

"I bought it from Baijiafu Supermarket, so I can return or exchange it."

"By the way, why did you go to the mental hospital the day before yesterday?" Chen Rui saw it that day and felt something was strange.

Li Tianbao remained expressionless. "I had a follow-up checkup on my second uncle's mental illness. Sigh, my second uncle has recently had a relapse. He keeps complaining that he wants to drink fresh milk and wants the taste of his childhood. He says he wants to raise a dairy cow. I'm speechless."

"You scared me to death," Chen Rui breathed a sigh of relief. "I thought something was wrong with you."

Li Tianbao suddenly braked, and Chen Rui lost her balance, her chest hitting his back.

"It was definitely too small."

Chen Rui complained, "Can't you be a little more reliable when you ride an electric scooter?!"

Li Tianbao looked at the intersection ahead and said in a low voice, "There are helmet checks up ahead! When did they start checking this road too?"

Recently, Xincheng has been working to become a civilized city. Anyone caught riding an electric bike without a helmet will be fined 50 yuan, and those with work units will also be publicly criticized.

My second uncle didn't have a helmet on his electric scooter.

Chen Rui said calmly, "It's alright. I know that police station. I'll just rush over. They won't care if they see me in the car."

With that, Li Tianbao felt relieved. These officials wouldn't stop everyone; they were human too, they would get tired, and they would turn a blind eye sometimes!

Li Tianbao rode over there, extremely arrogantly, and was then stopped by the traffic officer, fined 50 yuan, and had his picture taken.

Chen Rui fell silent; she had acted rashly. She noticed her colleague making faces; a leader was inspecting the area, and no one could influence the outcome!

Li Tianbao, head bowed, paid the fine, got on his bike, and continued on his way with Chen Rui on the back.

They remained silent the whole way, but Chen Rui finally spoke first, "Big star, don't be angry. After dinner, how about we go to the movies?"

Li Tianbao raised an eyebrow: "What movie can't I watch online? Why bother going to the cinema and spending money?"

Chen Rui hesitated for a moment, then said, "It's my treat."

Li Tianbao patiently explained, "No, didn't you understand? What movie can't you watch online? Your money doesn't come from thin air. Here, I'll download an app for you in a bit; it's full of pirated high-definition movies."

At this moment, the car stopped at the storefront of a Lanzhou noodle shop next to the old movie theater. The shop was shabby, but there were quite a lot of people.

The owner kneaded the dough like an ox, while his wife, wearing a large headscarf, served noodles and meals. In front of the counter, there was always a little girl, about seven or eight years old, doing her homework.

This is the standard configuration for Lanzhou ramen, and it's the same nationwide.

The two of them ate their ramen, slurping it down with gusto.

Li Tianbao confirmed that Chen Rui did not suspect him of stealing clothes, so he was relieved.

"Boss, another bowl to go, extra thin, please."

"Okay~"

"Another bowl, just vegetables, no noodles."

"Okay... Could you please say it again?"

Li Tianbao walked to the bar and repeated, "Just vegetables for the other bowl, no noodles."

"..."

"Did you bring this for your second uncle?" Chen Rui finished the soup, her cheeks flushed.

Li Tianbao said, "I'm not going to my second uncle's place; this is for a friend."

Chen Rui's eyebrows furrowed, and she raised her voice slightly: "Male or female?"

Li Tianbao explained, "It's a man, a friend of mine from out of town. We used to be comrades-in-arms. He's temporarily staying at my empty house."

Chen Rui's expression softened. "They wouldn't happen to be someone from your film crew, would they?"

Li Tianbao became serious and asked in a deep voice, "Chen Rui, do you think I look normal?"

Chen Rui twitched the corner of her mouth. "Why are you asking that? Are you crazy?"

Li Tianbao suddenly laughed, "Just kidding. Boss, check please."

"I'll pay the bill, and I feel bad about letting you pay a 50 yuan fine."

Chen Rui got up and ran to scan the code to pay. Li Tianbao watched her back, his smile fading. Too many things had happened today, and it was all too shocking.

"Don't keep a straight face, big star, let's go."

Li Tianbao, carrying the packaged ramen noodles and hanging them on the car key, turned around and said, "I'll take you back. We'll pass by my second uncle's place on the way to Hengbi Garden."

Chen Rui got into the car. "When are you going to buy furniture for your new house? I can help you choose some styles."

"I'm not buying any furniture. I don't want to live alone. My second uncle's little courtyard is quite nice."

Chen Rui recalled what her mother had said: When a daughter gets married, the bride price is 10,001 yuan according to the rules of Xincheng. It's just a formality. The dowry is a car worth about 500,000 yuan!

They only have one daughter. To put it bluntly, when their daughter gets married, it's like having another son. In the future, everything will belong to the son-in-law.

Her parents didn't expect their son to be exceptionally talented, as long as he was of good character, well-mannered, and most importantly, good to their daughter. Ideally, he would be someone they knew well, someone they had watched grow up.

At this moment, around 7 p.m., the sky was ablaze with fiery red clouds, like a sacred fire. A man and a woman on an electric scooter crossed the busy road.

Chen Rui, almost as if possessed, asked, "Li Tianbao, what kind of car do you like?"

Li Tianbao slowed down, looked up at the fiery clouds on the horizon, two of which resembled wheels of fire. He muttered, "I don't want a car. The old city is so congested. Nothing is as convenient as a little electric scooter."

Chen Rui bit her lip. "It's still early. I'll go see your new house."

Li Tianbao's face stiffened, and he suddenly stopped, only to feel a soft impact on his back again.
