The man at Chen Ling's table is Luo Zhiwei, a cadre in the political and legal system. He retired last year and his position is one and a half levels lower than Chen Ling's. However, he is Chen Ling's instructor at the police academy and belongs to the relationship between master and apprentice.

They chatted happily. At this moment, a woman's voice suddenly came, "Father, I'm working overtime to sort out the case files. Is there any delay?"

"It's okay, Chen Ling is not a stingy person. When he was on the front line, he went undercover and waited for the gangsters. He waited for two days and two nights. In the [-]-degree heat, he was motionless on the lawn. His forehead was bitten by poisonous mosquitoes and his forehead was swollen. The blood bag was later infected and inflamed, and was admitted to the ICU, am I right, Chen Ling?"

Chen Ling laughed, "My embarrassing story, Mr. Luo spread it everywhere."

"It's a story of a hero, my daughter admires you very much." Luo Zhiwei introduced with gestures, "Chen Ling, this is my daughter, Luo Sang, a judge of the Intermediate Court."

The woman is quite generous and decent, "Chen Ting, do you still remember me?"

Chen Ling took the initiative to shake hands, and after a symbolic touch, he pulled away in time, "I don't remember it anymore."

Luo Zhiwei also laughed, "My daughter is a workaholic and never shows her face in public. It's rare that she is willing to come here." He asked Luo Sang, "Your great uncle invited you to his house for dinner, and you resisted it. Are you in a good mood today?"

"I met Chen Ting once." Luo Sang smiled, "At the 05 Police Academy Graduation Ceremony, Chen Ting delivered a speech and personally presented my graduation certificate."

Luo Zhiwei was surprised, "No wonder you have such a precious certificate, framed and hidden in the safe."

She took out a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, which are old and the frames have faded and rusted, "You left your glasses on the rostrum that day, and now they are returned to their original owners."

Chen Ling was stunned for a second. In fact, he didn't wear glasses. Due to his occupational hazards, he frequently came into contact with outlaws. Whenever he was in public, he would change his image appropriately.

He has always been masculine, so he tends to dress up in a gentle way to cover up his true face.

Chen Ling took it, "You keep it for a long time."

There was light in Luosang's eyes, "I always believe that we will meet again one day."

"Chen Ling, you're not young anymore, it's time to think about personal issues, what do you think?" Luo Zhiwei filled up the tea and motioned for Luo Sang to pass it to him. Chen Ling didn't give him a chance, and took it directly, "I'm not in a hurry."

"Aren't you in a hurry?" Luo Zhiwei patted him on the shoulder, "It's the age of forty, get married and have children as soon as possible, settle down, and delay, don't you worry about being powerless in the future?"

Chen Ling turned the ceramic cup, his resolute and heroic eyebrows were reflected on the tea, and the woman's delicate willow eyebrows were also faintly reflected on the cup, "I can't." He also joked, "Do you think I look weak?"

Luo Zhiwei was taken aback for a moment, and laughed loudly, "I have been promoted, and I have learned to be tricky and tactful."

"Mr. Luo, the District Bureau said that he has been released." Chen Yuan changed the subject.

"Are you referring to Chen Zhiyun? His company didn't find out any violations, but there were tens of millions of tax discrepancies. Businessmen can't help but investigate, and the punishment is too severe. It affects the whole body, especially when it climbs to Chen Zhiyun's position. , There are countless giant crocodiles in the social circle. If he can't control his tongue and confesses to his peers, he has to be caught. If he is caught, ten or hundreds of them may not be spared. Wouldn't the business world be paralyzed? Business is sluggish, finances are weak, one The series of chain effects, the higher-ups have a lot of concerns, so it can be regarded as protecting him, and the fine will be settled, and the world will be peaceful." Luo Zhiwei wondered, "Chen Ling, he is your second brother, you are righteous and selfless, but the outside world speculates that your brothers are not on good terms, we For the sake of reputation, I advise you not to intervene too much."

Chen Ling drank his tea and remained silent.

Luo Zhiwei answered a phone call halfway, and after hanging up, he got up, "Chen Ling, I have a temporary engagement, so please give me a favor and take my daughter home."

Hearing this, Luo Sang was a little nervous, "Would it be too much trouble for Chen Ting?"

"I can't help it." Luo Zhiwei picked up her car keys, "I'll use your car."

Chen Ling took off the coat on the back of the chair, obviously trying to shirk, "It's so late, is Teacher Luo entertaining?"

"I'm going to the emergency department of the general hospital to visit an old friend." Luo Zhiwei waved his hand and asked the waiter to pay the bill. Chen Ling stopped him and swiped his card.

After getting out of the elevator, Luo Sang followed Chen Ling. He walked in front and raised his hand to fasten the buttons.

The man's back is chic and broad, with a strong sense of strength.

Chen Ling's masculinity is not due to the accumulation of time, he was so strong when he was young.

That year, when he was 27, he was the captain of the city's serious crime team and was in charge of major criminal cases. As a man of the past in the police academy, he returned to the school to give a speech.

A letter of confession was posted on the poster wall of the campus. The principal told Chen Ling that many girls had watched his documentaries and admired him very much.

He turned around and said to the girls gathered behind him, "I am not worthy of your admiration. Instead of believing in me, it is better to respect and believe in my profession and my police uniform."

Luo Sang happened to be at the Academic Affairs Office opposite, she didn't mean to, and he didn't know her.

A glimpse, a glance of ten thousand years.

Everyone admired Chen Ling.

He is Saibei Snow Lotus, standing on the top of the mountain.

She recalled the past and laughed inexplicably, "Chen Ting, we met more than once."

He tilted his head, "Really."

Chen Ling really stood in front of her, and Luo Sang felt like a dream at that time, "The earliest side is 13 years old."

He didn't answer, the gentleman opened the rear door, waited for her to sit firmly, walked around to the front driver's seat, and reminded her, "seat belt."

Luo Sang pursed his lips, hiding in the darkness, the moment the car started, "Chen Ting, the seat belt is broken."

"Is it broken?" He gestured to get out of the car to check, but Luo Sang got out of the car first and sat in the co-pilot, "Maybe it's stuck, because I'm too weak to pull it away."

Chen Ling stopped.

After a while, he was silent and started again.

"The place where I work is not far from your office."

Chen Ling said lightly, "The Intermediate Court will be relocated to Changping Road at the beginning of next year, [-] kilometers farther than now." At the end, he added, "It's a long way."

He erected the barrier without showing his face, and it was impossible to pass.

"Where do you live?"

Luo Sang came back to his senses, "Building 12, Chunfeng Lane."

Chen Ling pressed the music player, and the surging rhythm flowed out.

——Golden shield, forged with blood.

——Youth ambition do not express sorrow.

The lights of this city, the reflection of the river and the port and the sad stories, the people who pass by it are all sinking for it.

But there is no one night of sinking, Luo Sang understands the taste of this moment.

Turbulent, shocking, suffocating.

It was a kind of boiling emotion that strangled her heart.

The neon lights outside the window were like colorful pearls, broken one after another, submerged, and disappeared without a trace, all condensed into his face.

Driving through Beiyang Park, going straight is a red light, turning left is a green light, midnight is long, the lonely intersection is empty, only a car sped out, and when they brushed each other, Chen Ling slowed down the speed of the car, and his eyes wandered in a daze.

"I'm 32 years old. I had a talk with the police academy. What about you?"

The man's voice is deep and low, and when the wind blows, it looks like a magnetic and seductive cello. "We also talked for a while, my police school classmate."

In the blink of an eye, Chen Ling was holding the steering wheel with his right hand, and his left hand was curled up against his lips and nose. His profile was sharp and angular, with the wildness of a tough guy and a refined style.

Luo Sang couldn't help being fascinated by watching, "I've heard about your deeds, including your love history. Most men with high positions and powers also have strong desires. You are whiter than them."

He covered his Adam's apple with his clenched fists, and looked forward, "Official affairs and feelings are two different things."

"At least you have no blemishes, no weaknesses, and your colleagues are afraid of you, but they can't do anything about you. Chen Ting, I'll call you Chen Ling, is that okay?"

Chen Ling twitched the corner of her mouth, "Anything you want."

Luo Sang felt that he was absent-minded in his answer, so he followed along. The Audi A8 gradually drove away. An extremely young woman was in the driver's seat. Although she was vague, she could still tell how pure and bright her appearance was.

It is the white rose that mature men like very much. They are ignorant of the world and innocent.

You see less in police schools, and more in lawsuits. Men who have achieved success and fame stumble in the romantic field, and they are often ruined by such women.

Luo Sang's intuition was that this woman was very special, at least she had left indelible traces in Chen Ling's life.

"you recognize?"

Chen Ling looked away, "A friend."

"Need to say hello?"

He said nothing.

Luo Sang probed, "Do you mind if it's inconvenient for me to be in the car?"

"Too much to worry about."

When the green light came on, Chen Ling stepped on the accelerator and sped away.

It was already one o'clock in the morning when Shen Zhen returned to her mother's house.

She parked the car and went upstairs and received a text message.

Note is the third uncle.

——No home at night, bad habit.

Chen Ling was serious and serious, and he didn't make jokes easily.

What's more, in the middle of the night, since he reprimanded her in such a tone, he saw it 100%.

Shocked by fright, Shen Zhen ran out of the corridor to look around and asked him: Where is it?

She is timid, so she will be honest next time.

Chen Ling smiled, put the phone on the center console, and didn't answer.

Turning around and leaving Spring Breeze Lane, Luo Sang was watching him from the window on the second floor.

A strong intuition swept over her again, Luo Sang saw all of his concentration and earnestness in editing the text messages, and the slight smile on his face.

It was an unknown and unpredictable Chen Ling.

His thoughts, his secrets.

Shrouded in an endless fog, it is indescribable.

***

In the private room of the restaurant, Zhou Yuan cut a piece of barbecue, and the oil lamp at the corner of the table was burning brightly, emitting the aroma of blue and white wood.

"Is there land compensation for the government's expropriation of projects in the Taiping business district?"

Chen Chongzhou aimed at the flames, lit a cigarette, and held it in his hand, "Shenghe Group signed the contract on the 16th. On the 10th, rumors began to spread inside. The file, the time difference is very stuck, and there is no compensation in all likelihood."

Zhou Yuan was delighted, "That Cheng and Kui got mad."

He took a spoonful of spring water and boiled it in a teapot, "Shenghe lost [-] million yuan."

"Losing money is less important. The key is Chen Yuan's ineffectiveness. The board of directors will hold him accountable. He will have a hard time in the future." The more Zhou Yuan talked, the happier he said, "Second Young Master, you are so smart that you have pulled me out of the quagmire. I want to invest in the Taiping business district, and I have all the money, but fortunately I gave it to Chen Yuan, otherwise, can the Zhou family members spare me? They only recognize money."

Chen Chongzhou stared at the scorching red flames, but his mind fell again and again.

The Taiping commercial district was not a trap set by him, it was purely an accident.

The previous boss went bankrupt and the company's auction failed, which led to the waste of the land and it has been put on hold.At the beginning of the year, the municipal government called for external bidding, and the businessmen were superstitious. They felt that the geomantic omen of the land was not good, so they did it one by one. In the end, the project failed to bid, and the municipal government simply shelved it.

The old man of the Zhou family has connections, and he won the right to use the land without spending a penny, and handed it over to Zhou Bingchen to do the business of the resort, to try his skills.

The province has recently promoted the appearance of the city, and the Taiping business district is located at the boundary between the urban area and the suburbs. The city saw its environmental protection value and planned to build a wetland park. However, this land has not been approved for formal procedures in the process of commercialization. It is unauthorized labor, so no matter how much money the company injects in the early stage, it will be in vain.

Chen Ling must know something about the above situation, even if he keeps his mouth shut, he is Chen Yuan's uncle, and there are so many colleagues who buy his face, he can't curry favor with himself, so naturally he secretly curry favor with Chen Yuan, Shenghe Group develops the Taiping business district How could they not mention the mystery of the project.

If Chen Yuan knew the inside story clearly, why would he be willing to take the bait.

Various possibilities flashed through Chen Chongzhou's mind, his hands clenched, and he poured half a cup of cooled tea.

Zhou Yuan immediately took out a tissue to wipe it off, "What's wrong?"

He narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment, "Am I smart?"

"Of course you are smart, Second Young Master, I am following you."

Chen Chongzhou put down his teacup, "The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole is behind me. I have tried my best to set up a game, and one day I will miss it."

Zhou Yuan was puzzled, "The horse stumbled?"

He closed his eyes and meditated, "Go back first."

After Zhou Yuan left, Xue Yan entered the private room, "Miss He is still in the private room. He Pengkun called 5 minutes ago and I said you are on the way. It seems that if you don't pick her up, she will play tricks. Lou Zi, there is a scandal, and you are also implicated."

Chen Chongzhou stood up, impatiently between his brows, "What kind of trick is she playing?"

Xue Yan followed behind him, "Miss He's purpose is nothing more than forcing you to let go and agree to the marriage step by step."

Arriving at A11 on the third floor, Chen Chongzhou kicked open the door of the box, and when it was time, he was lying on the U-shaped sofa inside, with long hair loose and unconscious.

The men and women in the private room were startled, and they all stopped, looking at him.

Chen Chongzhou immediately recognized the woman sitting on the singing table as Hu Jiao.

This girl is famous in the circle of celebrities for her "heroic spirit that is not afraid of shame". Five years ago, she went after the third son of the Zhu family. The third son of the Zhu family is the youngest of the family. It is Yaoji of mahjong tiles, Hu Jiao loves him so much that he pulls a banner at the gate of Zhu Mansion—I am Hu Jiao [Pepper Pepper], you are [Zhu Gaming Chicken] Pork Belly Chicken, I will sleep in the same pot with you sooner or later, Stay till you marry me.

Shi Li's temperament is introverted, but also heroic, and she can't compete with Hu Jiao. Chen Chongzhou didn't expect to meet her here.

Out of courtesy, he nodded, "Miss Hu."

Hu Jiao threw away the microphone and went to the bar to pour wine, "Second Master Chen, would you like to have a drink together?"

Chen Chongzhou declined, "No."

"My father said, you've taken over Fucheng." She smiled, "Brothers, after all, you are the best at what you are capable of, and you are blessed when you are ready."

"Miss Hu and Third Young Master Zhu have a happy marriage. Isn't it a blessing?"

After the courtesy, he looked at the woman on the sofa, "When is it, come with me."
