recognized Huang Xi, Xu Yan immediately understood: Since Huang Xi was involved in the matter, it would never be kidnapped by the underworld.

At this time, Xu Yan also vaguely counted, and he could probably guess what kind of trouble Situ Xiao and Gong Xueting were in - more precisely, what kind of trouble Situ Xiao had, because Xu Yan had just seen very clearly that the agents were only targeting Situ Xiao alone, and it was only because Gong Xueting was fighting and shouting that they took Gong Xueting away.

For a while, Xu Yan had an impulse, he wanted to call Huang Xi and ask her what was going on.

Xu Yan took out the phone, but in the end, he still didn't dial the phone - Huang Xi is still in the car, there should be Gong Xueting and other colleagues from the intelligence department by her side, and if she calls to inquire about the situation now, Huang Xi will be very embarrassed.

Could it be, Mr. Situ Xiao, could he be a spy?

Xu Yan was pondering there with the phone, and suddenly, the phone rang, Xu Yan picked it up and saw that it was a number he didn't recognize.

"Hey, who is it?"

A female voice came from the phone: "Excuse me, is it Xu Yan-junior brother?"

Hearing the familiar word "junior brother", Xu Yan immediately came to his senses, and he asked, "Is it Senior Sister Zheng?"

"Well, it's me. ”

Zheng Qiuyi replied lightly, and then, she stopped talking, but stopped talking. For a while, Xu Yan didn't know what to say, so he could only be silent into the microphone, and an indescribable complex feeling spread in his heart - a few months ago, he was in Wanhe Shopping Mall, from the knife of a rampaging gangster. risked his life to save Zheng Qiuyi.

Ten days ago, it was also Zheng Qiuyi. He waited in ambush at his home with the police, and then put a pair of handcuffs on his wrists.

But before that. It's her again, ventilating herself and letting herself run away quickly.

Zheng Qiuyi reported to herself, and when she turned around, she arrested herself with her own hands, for Zheng Qiuyi, Xu Yan felt weird, and didn't know how to face her - should she greet her casually, as if that embarrassing scene didn't exist?

Xu Yan was still hesitating, but Zheng Qiuyi spoke first: "Senior brother." Where are you now?"

"I'm eating out...... What's the matter, Senior Sister?"

Zheng Qiuyi said briskly: "Are you convenient now? In the past few days, I have been trying to contact you, but I have not been able to get through to your phone." I want to come and see you, there are some things I want to talk to you about. ”

"Okay, come here. Do you know the address of my house?" As soon as the words came out, Xu Yan knew that he had asked a very stupid question. He laughed self-deprecatingly, "I asked a stupid question." Of course, you know for sure. ”

Zheng Qiuyi didn't squeak, obviously, she also heard the irony in Xu Yan's words - at that time. Zheng Qiuyi organized an ambush at Xu Yan's house, how could she not know where Xu Yan's home was?

Zheng Qiuyi didn't explain, she just said lightly: "I'll be there in about half an hour." You wait for me. ”

Zheng Qiuyi's time was very accurate, and Xu Yan returned home not long after. There was a knock at the door. Xu Yan walked over quickly and opened the door to take a look. Sure enough, it was Zheng Qiuyi standing at the door. She didn't wear a police uniform today, she was wearing an ordinary summer casual shirt, carrying a black duffel bag behind her back, looking no different from an ordinary female college student, no one would have imagined that such a beautiful girl was actually a criminal police leader.

Xu Yan smiled exaggeratedly, stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation, and said, "Officer Zheng is here, welcome!"

Zheng Qiuyi smiled faintly, she walked in generously, looked around the room, especially when she saw the broken cabinet, she asked Xu Yandao: "Senior brother, do you boys live like this? The glass door of this cabinet is broken, why don't you hurry up and call someone to repair it—or simply buy a new one?"

Zheng Qiuyi did not shy away from mentioning the events of that day, Xu Yan was quite surprised, he smiled: "This is a rented place, I live alone, and I don't have much to pack." Just let it be like that. ”

Zheng Qiuyi nodded silently, she looked around for a while, walked to the window and looked at the scene outside, and said calmly: "Senior brother, a few days ago, I kept calling you, but I couldn't find you. Where have you been?"

Since Xu Yan woke up this time, it seemed that everyone who met him had to ask him where he had been in the past few days, and Xu Yan really didn't get tired of it—he had a faint feeling that Zheng Qiuyi didn't know what to say, as if she was looking for something to say.

"Nothing, the phone broke two days ago, so I missed a lot of calls. Senior sister, have you also looked for me? Is there anything important?"

"Hmm. Zheng Qiuyi turned around from the window, she tried her best to look calm, but Xu Yan still saw a trace of nervousness in her eyes, she walked over and sat down on the sofa, and said calmly: "Senior brother, come and sit, I'll talk to you about something."

A few days ago, because the former head of our criminal investigation detachment, Huang Tou'er, died in the line of duty, the party committee of our bureau held a meeting to discuss the question of who will take over as the head of the detachment. After the meeting, Director Deng talked to me and told me that the Party Committee of the Bureau had been decided, and that I was the only candidate for the head of the detachment and submitted to the Municipal Legal Committee and the Organization Department. ”

She paused and said in a deep voice: "Today, I got the news that the Political and Legal Committee and the Organization Department have approved this appointment, and the documents have come down!"

Hearing the news, Xu Yan was stunned for a moment - he knew that this was Deng Bonan fulfilling his promise to himself, but on the surface, he still showed a surprised expression: "Ah, senior sister, are you going to be promoted? This is really good news! Senior sister, congratulations, such a happy thing, you want to invite me to dinner!"

When Xu Yan spoke, Zheng Qiuyi kept staring at his face seriously, as if she wanted to see something in his eyes, and then, she shook her head with a wry smile: "Senior brother, how did my team leader come from, others don't know, don't you know? Boss Deng made it clear to me that I can get this position, junior brother, you have made a lot of effort in the middle - he said it very clearly, he just gave you face, junior brother." ”

Xu Yan's smile froze on his face, and he slurred, "Is that what Boss Deng said?" Old Deng: He is exaggerating. Belch...... I did recommend it to him, but I think so. This is not the main reason, the key is that your own conditions are excellent, senior sister. You have the ability to have results, so you were selected in the last round in the bureau!"

Zheng Qiuyi smiled: "Senior brother, you don't have to pretend...... In fact, even if Boss Deng doesn't say it, I know that Huang Touer died this time, and there are many people staring at his position, and many of them are stronger than me.

I'm young, I'm a girl, and I can't compare with others when it comes to qualifications, experience, and achievements. So this time there is a vacancy in the position. I didn't have any hope at all, I didn't go to the event at all, and I was surprised to be appointed this time - if it weren't for your help, I wouldn't have been able to do it this time.

Boss Deng told me very clearly that on the criminal investigation line of the public security system, a substantive department-level cadre in his early twenties is also a female cadre, which is indeed a bit shocking. Such a precedent. Don't say that there is no one in the history of the Jincheng Bureau, but I am afraid that there is no one in the history of the entire Shuchuan Provincial Public Security System. The bureau's party committee also came under great pressure when making this decision. He wanted me to guard against arrogance and rashness, and to calm down. Do a good job of making some achievements, don't live up to the expectations of the bureau party committee, and don't let him lose face - finally. He asked me to say hello to you and say that you still owe him a meal!"

Zheng Qiuyi said it so bluntly. Xu Yan didn't know what to say, and he laughed awkwardly. Scratching his head: "This old Deng, he just likes to exaggerate." Anyway, it's always a good thing. Congratulations, Senior Sister!"

Zheng Qiuyi smiled slightly, and the smile looked a little embarrassed. She whispered: "Senior brother, you are my destined nobleman! When we met for the first time, you saved my life, and now at this critical time, you pulled me again, I really don't know how to repay this kindness." Here, it's a little bit of my care, please don't dislike it. ”

As she spoke, Zheng Qiuyi untied the travel bag on her shoulder, put it under the table, and gently pushed it to Xu Yan's side. Xu Yan thought it was Zheng Qiuyi's thank you gift, he took it and said with a smile: "Since it's a gift from my senior sister, then I'm welcome!" He opened the zipper of his travel bag, and immediately, several stacks of red banknotes dazzled Xu Yan's eyes.

Xu Yan's hand trembled, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Zheng Qiuyi in surprise: "Senior sister, is there money in it?"

Zheng Qiuyi lowered her head, her face was red, and she didn't dare to look up at Xu Yan, but just let out a soft "um" from her nose.

"Senior brother, you are a leader in the capital, I don't know which department you are in, but even Boss Deng wants to give you face, it is estimated that you must also be a big leader, so you may not be able to see such a little meaning. Well, I haven't been working for a few years, and I don't have much savings, which is tens of thousands of yuan...... In short, it's a piece of my heart, junior brother, don't be too little. ”

Xu Yan was stunned - he never dreamed that the reason why Zheng Qiuyi came to him was to carry a bag of money to thank him!

Xu Yan was stunned for a while, and finally pushed the bag of money back to Zheng Qiuyi with a wry smile: "Senior sister, with our friendship, this ...... You're too outward. You didn't ask me for money when you helped me out! You better take this back. ”

"It's different - friendship is friendship, but there are rules for one line. Zheng Qiuyi pushed the travel bag over again, and she said firmly: "Although I am a woman, I also understand the rules." You can give me this opportunity, this is already a great kindness, if I can't even repay the kindness, then am I still a person?"

"Senior sister, I really don't need it. Xu Yan smiled bitterly: "Otherwise, you can thank Director Deng! He is the one who really promoted you, and he has nothing to do with me." ”

Zheng Qiuyi showed a bitter smile, her expression looked a little tired, and she whispered, "Actually, I have already expressed it to Boss Deng...... But Boss Deng refused to ask for it. ”

"Ahh......h Are there rules?"

Zheng Qiuyi showed an embarrassed smile: "Boss Deng said that my promotion this time is mainly due to you, junior brother, and he asked me to thank you...... Boss Deng's attitude was very resolute, his tone was also very strict, and he was reprimanded with a straight face, and I didn't dare to force myself with him, so I had to slip away. ”

She looked at Xu Yan and said sincerely: "Senior brother, you can accept it! Boss Deng is like this, you are like this, you are like this, you all refuse to pay attention to me, I can't even give away a heart, I feel hairy in my heart! )
