When the dinner was over, Wu Renbao and his wife sent Xu Yan and Zhao Yanran to the gate of the hotel, and they told Xu Yan that they would go back to Haizhou City tomorrow, hoping that Xu Yan and Zhao Yanran would travel there when they were free.

Then, Zhao Yanran accompanied Xu Yan out of the hotel, Xu Yan noticed that Zhao Yanran's face was a little pale, her eyes were a little frightened, and she didn't dare to meet Xu Yan's gaze.

Xu Yan thought about it for a while, and then he understood, and he asked with a smile, "Yanran, did you hear it just now?"

Zhao Yanran immediately shook her head resolutely: "No! I didn't hear it, I didn't hear anything!"

Seeing Zhao Yanran frightened like a frightened bird, Xu Yanxin was amused. He said lightly: "Don't worry, I won't tell Lao Wen." ”

Listening to Xu Yan's promise, Zhao Yanran was relieved, she stuck out her tongue in shock, and whispered: "Yanzi, I really don't know, how could Secretary Wu be like this...... I guess he's drunk too much. ”

"Uh-huh. Xu Yan replied casually: "The Wen family is mean and unkind? Old Wu, this guy is a bit interesting...... Old Wu, he must have drunk too much! Okay, Yanran, you also drank too much tonight, don't drive anymore. I'll find a taxi and go home by myself. ”

It can be seen that Xu Yan's mood is not very good, and Zhao Yanran doesn't dare to pester him anymore - smart women know when to pester men and when to avoid them.

Out of the door of the hotel, Xu Yan waved a taxi. He got into the car, leaned quietly on the back seat of the taxi, and looked at the wine red lights flying by outside the window, feeling melancholy, and an indescribable taste slowly came to his heart.

Perhaps, in the eyes of ordinary people, to be like yourself, to be able to mingle with those dignitaries and nobles with extraordinary status, socialize, be curtained and flattered by them, and be busy with all kinds of meals and entertainment, this is the so-called success, right?

But, is this the life you want to live?

I have no intention of multiplying the red dust, but I don't know what's going on, all kinds of red dust and mundane things are coming one after another, so that I am overwhelmed.

Zhao Yanran's pursuit and entanglement of herself, is she sincere or false?

Behind Wu Renbao's drunken words, what kind of grievances and entanglements did he have with the Wen family? Could it be that the Wen family really had a very bad style as he said?

Looking at his figure in the car window, Xu Yan sighed and shook his head silently - the world is chaotic, even if he has a pair of fiery eyes, he can't distinguish it. If possible, I still hope to be a cultivator who retreats from the world.

At this time, Xu Yan's mobile phone rang, he glanced at it and saw it clearly: the caller was the newly appointed head of the criminal investigation detachment of the Public Security Bureau, his senior sister Zheng Qiuyi.

"Senior sister, is there anything good about calling me so late?"

Zheng Qiuyi's deep voice came from the phone: "Senior Brother Yanzi, where are you?"

"I've just finished eating out and I'm riding home in the car - what's the matter, senior sister, is there anything good?"

On the phone, Zheng Qiuyi sighed: "Senior brother, the incident you did the night before may be a little troublesome." ”

"Huh?" Xu Yan was a little surprised: "What happened the night before? Is it a case of hurting people? Didn't your public security bureau transfer the case to our unit? Is there any problem with this matter?"

"Well, some people want to stir up trouble on this issue and make it bigger -- today, a reporter from the "Jincheng Metropolis Daily" came to our criminal police detachment and asked to cover this matter by name.

The reporter kept saying that our police were derelict in their duties, connived at criminals, and allowed innocent and good people to be harmed, and he said that he would expose this vicious case in the media, and he also said that he would criticize our police for their inaction -- our people responded to him, saying that the case was still under investigation, and that he could not release information to the public or give interviews, but he still did not give up.

I think this guy seems to have a very bad intention, maybe he came for you. ”

Xu Yan let out an "oh", and he said calmly: "Thank you, senior sister, but it's not a big deal, right? ”

Zheng Qiuyi said seriously: "Senior brother, don't underestimate reporters. Although these people can't do anything, if they want to make bad things, they are very disgusting.

Especially this time, junior brother, you have caused a lot of trouble, and the leaders on both sides of us have finally joined forces to suppress it, if a reporter irresponsibly messes around and sets off this case again, I am afraid that there will be trouble at that time.

The reporter of "Jincheng Metropolis Daily" is surnamed Liu, his name is Liu Huajin, and after he came to our criminal police detachment, we didn't give him any good looks, and let him go directly. But later, he went to our office and political office again, and wanted to interview the leader in charge of the propaganda outlet -- I am very worried now, so many departments, if anyone is not in a tight tone and leaks your identity to him, and the fact that you are an active military officer is exposed, then you will be in trouble.

When the time comes, the reporter will expose your identity, junior brother, and say that you are an officer of the army but you are tyrannical, and you beat five civilians to serious injuries for a little meal dispute. ”

Xu Yan smiled faintly - something big?

To be honest, Xu Yan really doesn't care. With its current importance to the country, this is no longer something that a few tabloid news can shake. Don't say that you just injured a few ruffians, even if you really killed people and set fires, the Ministry of Intelligence must protect yourself to the death - otherwise, the next time there is a murderous beast case like Shudu University, who will take care of it?

The problem now is not that he refuses to leave, but that the Ministry of Intelligence refuses to let him go! If the reporter of the "Jincheng Metropolis Daily" can let himself go from the army, Xu Yan really has to thank him. Therefore, when he heard the news that he was going to be exposed, Xu Yan really didn't feel any pressure at all.

But in any case, Zheng Qiuyi specially called to remind her, and Xu Yan still had to thank her: "Senior sister, thank you, thank you for notifying me." These reporters are really annoying!"

"Hehe, what's there to thank you for. Zheng Qiuyi laughed twice, and she said: "Anyway, I think this reporter Liu is a little strange." The case that occurred the night before was not a major homicide, but when would there not be a single case of eight out of ten cases in Jincheng City? How much news value would such an ordinary case have?

But this reporter Liu is so attentive to this matter, and he came to our public security bureau in a hurry, with a posture of asking for guilt -- I think his intention will not be so simple. ”

Xu Yan was stunned for a moment, and he asked, "This reporter, is it a fake reporter?"

"Fake journalists don't. I have read his press card, and I have also asked someone to inquire, and there is indeed such a reporter in "Jincheng Metropolis Daily". If you want to say fake, it shouldn't be fake, it's just that this guy is from a strange place, and it's not a normal way to do news. ”

Xu Yan became interested: "Senior sister, do you mean that this reporter was instructed to target me? Is there any evidence?"

Zheng Qiuyi said with a smile: "How can there be any evidence for this kind of thing? Reporters do paid news, there are many such things, and they have become industry rules." If you think about it, if you think about it, if there is no benefit, who will expose this kind of small case of fighting? If this kind of news is released, someone has to watch it!

We usually receive reporters who come to cover cases, and generally the reporters who come to cover the case will talk to us politely, with a very good attitude, expecting us to reveal some case information to him, so that he can go back to make up some news and earn some manuscript fees, and everyone communicates very happily.

However, as soon as reporter Liu came to the door, he vigorously accused us of not pressing the case, and also accused us of covering up and conniving, saying that 'this matter cannot be ended here' and that 'the masses of the people have the right to know, and the victims will never give up'.

I asked him, how do you know that we are not going to file a case because the case that happened the night before is still under investigation? When I said this, he was dumbfounded on the spot, unable to speak, and finally vaguely said that he had his own source of information, and that he knew that the police did not intend to file a case anyway. ”

Xu Yan said "hey": "Senior sister, what do you mean-Qin Yue?"

"Well, nine times out of ten, it should be. This guy has something to say, as if he wants to pass on a message to you through us. Okay, you know this, then I'll hang up......"

"Hey, wait a minute, senior sister, you haven't told me yet-you haven't told me the reporter's phone number and contact information?"

"Wait, I'll look for his business card. There was silence on the phone for a while, Zheng Qiuyi read the business card word by word, including the mobile phone contact address and other information, and then she asked, "Do you remember? Do you want me to repeat it?"

Xu Yan smiled: "Remember, thank you, senior sister!"

"What's there to thank you for, alright, you hurry up and go about your business. ”

The phone hung up, Xu Yan held the mobile phone alone and snickered - usually Zheng Qiuyi always looked righteous and awe-inspiring, but I didn't expect that she was also a very black person in private! I asked her for the address of the reporter, and she gave it to herself immediately without any ambiguity, and she was afraid that she would not be able to remember it, so she asked herself if she would remember it again. Xu Yan was really happy about his senior sister's black belly, he estimated that Zheng Qiuyi must have been annoyed enough by the reporter today, and she had no way to retaliate as a policeman, so she simply asked Xu Yan to clean him up.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Yan pondered for a moment - yesterday, lawyer Tang also called to say that he wanted to reconcile with him, and at that time he deduced that he had no time to send him away, and then the other party immediately sent a newspaper reporter to put pressure on him.

The fact that the other party did not come through the police channels, but sent reporters to intimidate him, which shows that most of the other party already knows his identity and knows that he is a cadre with military status, and the local police have nothing to do with him.

Obviously, his military status makes the other party very embarrassed -- what other way can Qin Yue have to deal with an officer of the army? The army has an army management department and a military judicial organ, but the problem is that Qin Yue's hand can't reach there...... In front of Xu Yan, Qin Yue's relationship and protective umbrella were all invalid.

In this case, the only trick that Qin Yue can use is "news and public opinion" supervision, threatening Xu Yan with "exposing the matter" and forcing Xu Yan to reconcile with him.

A sneer appeared on Xu Yan's lips: "It seems that Qin Yue still doesn't know his true identity. It is estimated that the person who inquired about him only told him that he was a cadre in the army, and the police could not control him, but he did not tell him his true identity.

Otherwise, an old Jianghu like Qin Yue, he should know that the supervision of public opinion is just useful for ordinary petty officers and cadres. If Qin Yue knew his true identity, he would definitely not dare to send a small reporter to engage in this kind of trick -- to scare himself, a local tabloid like "Jincheng Metropolis Daily" is too light, and it is almost the same to let Xinhua News Agency People's Daily or internal reporters come over.
