The reason why Xu Ran has been secretly investigating some problems in the old market of Nanhe is that he plans to take precautions and grasp the handle of the other party in advance.

The purpose of doing this was that Xu Ran could feel that the latent forces in the old and second-hand market would threaten the foundation of his survival.

Although the other party's main business is not the thrift industry, but is engaged in gambling, drugs, smuggling, illegal private placement, usury, etc., it seems that there is no connection between the two, and there is no conflict of interest, but Xu Ran feels that sooner or later there will be friction and collision between the two sides.

In addition, the problem of the old market seems to be calm now, and most people talk about it differently, and they are reluctant to have anything to do with it.

But Xu Ran can feel that in response to the problem of the old market, there is a cancer in Xia City where many people know its inside story, and it is openly provoking the authority of the government, I am afraid that there is an undercurrent brewing, and I want to get rid of it quickly.

Today, Xu Ran came to apply for a passport, and by chance he met Ling Ling, a former high school classmate, but he didn't expect that when the other party chatted, he also talked about the problem of the old market.

No matter what kind of purpose Ling Ling was for, or it was an unintentional inquiry made in the chat, since Xu Ran chose to engage in the environmental protection industry, the questions in Nanhe Market naturally could not be avoided, no matter who it was, out of curiosity, they would ask like this.

After all, from the geographical point of view, the location occupied by the old market of Nanhe has convenient transportation, is the center of the intersection of several blocks, the traffic road extends in all directions, and it is just connected to the commercial street and residential area that can be developed in the area of Zhengyuan Street, such a superior location, if Xu Ran wants to invest in the thrift industry, there is no reason to give up there and choose a remote egg garden, this is the consensus of ordinary people.

Since this problem can't be avoided, when Xu Ran chatted with Ling Ling, he just briefly talked about some historical problems in the old market, there is a big hole of 800 million, which is obviously a fire pit, he wants to know that this kind of thing has to jump in, that is stupid.

Regarding the historical legacy there, Ling Ling is naturally very clear.

In fact, Ling Ling's cousin had been secretly investigating the case there, but after Ling Ling learned other news from her cousin, she used the convenience of her position to investigate some archives and found that there were many problems in the old market in Nanhe, and it could almost be said that it was about to become semi-public.

For such a huge tumor adsorbed on Xia Cheng's body, it was not removed, but was left to its own devices, which shows that the problem is so serious that it is unimaginable.

As a young man who graduated from criminal investigation and entered the police system, Ling Ling is more arrogant and wants to do some big cases to prove her ability, rather than being a good girl at home, so she will always pay more attention to the relevant information about the old market in Nanhe.

It's just that she knows what Xu Ran told her, and she really wants to know something that she doesn't know and maybe Xu Ran will know, but Xu Ran is very cautious and doesn't reveal the slightest, which makes Ling Ling a little disappointed in her heart.

Generally speaking, since Xu Ran didn't provide much information about the things he wanted to know, he was still a little happy to be able to meet the person he had a crush on in high school.

Xu Ran came here to apply for a passport, in fact, when he filled in the information, Ling Ling recognized it at a glance when he came down to do something.

She has always had a very good impression of Xu Ran, and she even had a crush on Xu Ran in her heart when she was in high school.

Even if I went to college, sometimes I would think about the ignorant crush when I didn't dare to confess and only kept everything about him in my heart and didn't dare to let the other party know.

But the more mature and sensible you are, and when you don't have a boyfriend, the more you miss the ignorant and simple love you once had, even if you graduate from college and join the job, you will miss the pure and innocent emotions of the simple era more and more.

But Ling Ling is a very rational woman, and most of this rationality comes from the influence of her family, so that she never had a boyfriend in college, which is a little regretful.

Xu Ran didn't know that Ling Ling's mind was changing at this moment.

He has always been cautious and vigilant about the problems of the old market in Nanhe, and he briefly talked to Ling about some situations that could be easily investigated, and then he was silent and stopped talking.

However, Ling Ling didn't speak at this time, Xu Ran raised his head at this time, and saw Ling Ling looking at him, his expression stupid as if he was thinking about something.

Ahem!

Being looked at by Ling Ling with that strange look, Xu Ran felt a little too comfortable, so he coughed lightly.

After Ling Ling woke up, she couldn't help but feel hot on her face, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm a little distracted thinking about some things in the past!"

In order to avoid embarrassment, Ling Ling then diverted the topic and said, "Xu Ran, where are you going to go when you apply for a passport, travel or work?"

Hearing this, Xu Ran also felt a lot more relaxed, and said: "Go to Munich, Germany to meet a few friends, and talk about some small things by the way, it can be regarded as tourism!"

"And when are you going to leave?"

Xu Ran didn't know what she meant by asking, but still said: "Of course, the sooner the better, the market I invested in the egg hatchery garden is about to operate, and I can't delay too much time!"

"Alright then, you can play in my office first, wait for me later!"

Ling Ling was very enthusiastic about Xu Ran's affairs, and asked Xu Ran to wait for her for a while, and then went out.

Xu Ran felt more and more strange in his heart.

For this classmate Ling Ling in high school, Ling Ling at that time had very dark skin, wore big-framed glasses, and had a small flat head and short hair, she was a tomboy, with average academic performance, and she was usually relatively low-key and never caused trouble, and occasionally encountered classmates who were bullied by gangsters and would help, so that Xu Ran was not very impressed by her.

is the so-called eighteen changes in the female college, and now Ling Ling has changed very much, although her appearance after makeup and dress up is medium and upper, about the same level as Liu Siqin, but her five views are standard, and her skin is white and temperamental, and because of being a policeman, she has cultivated a professional character, which can add a lot of points to her.

Perhaps in the eyes of people with different aesthetic views, Ling Ling is the police flower in the minds of men who are engaged in police professions and have a preference for uniforms.

Ling Ling was so enthusiastic and proactive, and let Xu Ran sit and wait here, Xu Ran guessed that he should help him get a passport, but he didn't have to wait for seven to fifteen days.

While waiting, Xu Ran used his mobile phone to surf the Internet, told Toloka that it was possible to get the passport today, and asked Toloka how many days it would take to apply for a visa.

Toloka's reply was very fast, saying that she and Kavwaya both knew people from several European countries in the Consulate General of the Demon Capital, as long as they entrusted the other party to say hello to the consular department here in Xia Cheng, Xu Ran went directly to the consulate in Xia Cheng to quickly handle it, and Toloka said that he would contact her after the passport was in hand.
