After chatting for a long time, the dishes were almost served, and the two talked while eating, and the atmosphere was always relaxed and happy.

It wasn't until after eating that Secretary Xiao threw away a cigarette, took one in his mouth, lit it, and said lightly while swallowing clouds and spitting out fog: "Xiao Chen, in fact, I called you out today, mainly to thank you for saving my family Xiao Ling, but that's not all, you are such a smart person, you should have found out a long time ago, right?" ”

"Hmm." Chen Weidong nodded and said with a smile: "Uncle Xiao's drunkard doesn't mean to drink, this doesn't matter, what do you want to say, just say it directly." ”

"Okay, then I'll get straight to the point." Secretary Xiao nodded, put away his smile, and said, "How far has your relationship with my family Xiao Ling progressed?" Don't think about it, just say it! ”

"If you haven't reached any step, it's just an ordinary friend relationship." Chen Weidong didn't blink his eyes, and gave a direct answer.

"Really?" Secretary Xiao frowned, half-convinced.

On the one hand, he felt that the relationship between the two people was very strange, not like boyfriend and girlfriend at all, and a person like Chen Weidong would never get entangled with someone in the police system - that would not do him any good at all.

On the other hand, he felt that his daughter's feelings for this young man were indeed unusual, and it could be seen from the fact that he always mentioned him at home after work, and most of them were in love.

To be honest, Secretary Xiao feels that this matter is worth encouraging, after all, her daughters are in their twenties, and they have never even been in love, which is simply shameless.

Look at the children of the other leaders of the city bureau, both men and women. Which one didn't talk about friends early, changed like a marquee every day, and even got married with a faster progress. gave birth to a baby and let my grandfather play with his grandson at home.

Of course, Secretary Xiao is not encouraging young people to abuse their feelings and mess with the relationship between men and women, but ...... My daughter is such an old person, so I should think about my life's events, right? Even if you don't want to get married too early, that's okay. You always have to talk about one in love, right? You can't keep spending so much, the work is incomplete, and life is limited.

This time. The daughter finally opened up, Secretary Xiao was very happy, but then came worry......

This is the same as all fathers when their daughters are first released. boyfriend time. More or less, they will be afraid that the other party has a problem with their character. It's personal. Scum, cheating on daughter's feelings and the like......

This is also inevitable, Secretary Xiao is big, but as a father, he is not more experienced than anyone else.

After thinking for a while, he asked again: "Xiao Chen, you already know the nature of our Xiao Ling's work, and what you do, I have also investigated a little - don't blame my uncle for being rude." I'm helpless too. ”

"Oh? Helpless? How do you say that? Chen Weidong couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth.

"I've heard of your boy's name for a long time." Secretary Xiao smiled slightly and continued: "Starting from the 5.12 shooting. I already knew your name, but at that time, it was characterized as legitimate defense, so I didn't pay so much attention to it, and later you did one by one, Xiao Ling more or less mentioned it to me, so I still have some understanding of you as a person. ”

"Well, then what? Uncle Xiao didn't want to say......"

"It's not." Secretary Xiao interrupted someone's words and said in a deep voice: "What you have done, although there are some things out of line, but in general, they are quite decent, and the people you hit are all bad people who are causing trouble. Scum, he should have been punished by the law a long time ago, but he got away with it for various reasons, and finally had to rely on knights like you to fight it. To be like this, in fact, is the sorrow of this society, and instead of blaming you, it is better to blame this society itself. ”

When Chen Weidong heard this, he had to put away his joking look, and said with a serious face: "Uncle Xiao's words really lift me up, where am I a chivalrous man, but just a small citizen." ”

"Really?" Secretary Xiao smiled and said lightly: "Confucianism uses literature to mess with the law, chivalry uses martial arts to violate the ban, the so-called chivalry refers to those who have extraordinary skills and dare to go against the law to punish evil and promote good, aren't you?" ”

"Aha, what's this......" Chen Weidong laughed dryly a few times, but did not respond positively.

Secretary Xiao took a sip of tea and said: "Xiao Chen, when I received your call, to be honest, my heart was a little complicated, because I know that you are not a lawbreaker, but you are definitely one in the blacklist of our public security system, so I instinctively feel that something is wrong." ”

"Oh? What's wrong? ”

"It's very simple, if you have that kind of relationship with my daughter, then I have to worry about whether you are suitable for being together, whether there will be conflicts in the future because of the work relationship, and so on, as a father, I have to think about my daughter, which you must be able to understand."

"Understand, understand, of course."

"That night, I didn't say anything, the next day, I started to investigate you, and then I found out that not long before the 5.12 shooting, there was also a plane crash from the capital to Luo'an, which seems to have your figure, but later the credit was given to the little bastard of the He family, so everyone doesn't know your savings, right?"

"Aha, Uncle Xiao's channel is really clever, since you already know, then I can't say no, it's just ...... What exactly do you mean by this? ”

"Nothing, I just want to ask one thing clearly: You're not an ordinary person, are you?"

"This ...... Uncle Xiao, I don't understand what you asked, the word ordinary person, it has a very broad definition, I don't know which one you are asking? ”

"Hey, boy, don't be sloppy with me, your Uncle Xiao also practiced when he was young, so you know a little bit, who are you, didn't you show it clearly enough when you were in the hospital that day?" Secretary Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled a little badly.

Chen Weidong thought for a while, and had to admit honestly: "Yes, Uncle Xiao, if you want to ask this, then I can tell you that I do have some skills beyond the physiological limits of ordinary people." ”

“OK。” Secretary Xiao nodded, and said: "What you have done since you came to Luo'an, I have roughly checked it this morning, in general, it is not bad, you are a very capable person, and what is even more rare is that you are still a person with a bottom line, so my family Xiao Ling can come together with you." In fact, I have never doubted this girl's vision, since she can accept you, it means that you must be a decent man, worthy of dating. ”

"Aha, this...... Officer Xiao, did she really say that? When Chen Weidong heard Secretary Xiao say this, he was really a little suspicious.

Originally, he thought that the old guy asked him to come here for dinner to "persuade him to quit......

After all, the things he did after coming to Luo'an were not law-abiding, and some time ago he was even against Director He, the head of the public security system, which forced Director He to be anxious.

And Secretary Xiao, as Director He's boss, has no reason not to know about this matter, and what he said today shows that he supports himself.

This answer was unexpected by Chen Weidong, he always thought that Secretary Xiao was an official, and he should be the same as those people, unexpectedly......

cough, it doesn't make sense to say these things now, the important thing is: what does Lao Xiao mean? If he didn't come to persuade him to quit this time, what else could it be?

To be honest, if this master wants to persuade someone to give up his relationship with Xiao Ling, then someone can tell him in a righteous and stern manner: I have nothing to do with Officer Xiao, I don't believe you go back and ask your daughter yourself.

However, the old guy came up and praised him first, but Chen Weidong was a little confused.

In desperation, he had no choice but to remain silent.

This is the most correct, without knowing the true intentions of the other party, not speaking is actually the most correct choice.

Sure enough, after a while, Secretary Xiao opened his mouth.

I saw him take a puff of cigarette and said slowly: "Xiao Chen, you are a very good person, I haven't seen such an excellent young man like you for a long time, a person as good as you shouldn't have no object by now, right?" ”

"Ha, Uncle Xiao lifted me up again." Chen Weidong smiled self-deprecatingly and replied: "I talked about one in high school before, and the relationship was very good. ”

"And then?"

"I went to be a soldier, she went to Beiying, and then I came back, and she dumped me."

"Hey!" Secretary Xiao immediately patted the table and said angrily: "This girl is really visionless!" ”

"I can't say that." Chen Weidong snorted and said lightly: "Everyone's path is their own choice, since I chose to be a soldier and didn't see each other for three years, then after three years, love has passed the expiration date, and no one can be blamed, anyway, it's just like that, I've forgotten it, I don't want to mention it again." ”

"Then I'm sorry to expose your scars."

"Nor did ...... cough, in fact, Uncle Xiao, we don't have to talk like this, I listen to what you mean, it seems that there is something in the words, it is better for you to say it quickly, I can answer you positively, I always go around like this, it is uncomfortable. ”

Secretary Xiao was silent for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, since you said so, then I won't go around the corner, let me ask you, you should be very familiar with Dr. Zheng from the People's Hospital, right?" ”

"Well, it's quite familiar, I met her on the same day as I met you and your daughter, and that time was in the hospital, and I saw both of them for the first time."

"Okay, so do you know who she is?"

"Know a little."

"Okay, then let me ask you again, what is your relationship with her? Answer me honestly, don't think. ”

"Friends." Chen Weidong smiled faintly and lit a cigarette. (To be continued......)
