Who said the boss won't solve the case

There were four adults sitting on the small dining table, and Xiao Di had no place, so he had to temporarily add a small chair. The four adults did not speak, and Xiao Di was bored, playing with the spaghetti in his hand with a fork.

"I heard that Captain Shen invested in Baichang Private University—" Yuan Xia broke the silence: "Li Jia will be your employee in the future, please take care of Captain Shen."

"Where, where, it is our honor to invite Professor Li, and it is also an honor for Baichang City." Shen Conglan hurriedly replied: "Professor Li also asks for guidance. If the school lacks anything, you can tell me directly. We will do our best to accommodate your request.”

"So good?" Li Jia ate an onion ring: "Then I won't be polite."

Yuan Qiu was silent for a while, then suddenly asked: "Shen Conglan, you invested in Baichang Private University, when did I not know?"

Not long after Yuan Qiu was discharged from the hospital, he didn't know that Shen Conglan had already invested in Baichang Private University.The private university in Baichang City was already in jeopardy, but now with Li Jia's joining, coupled with the strong financial support of the Shen's consortium, not only has it regained its former reputation, it has even advanced several times in the rankings of the entire federation name.

"Actually, I have planned it for a long time. Professor Li's return to China at this time just helped me convince the old stubborn gang on the board of directors." Shen Conglan smiled at Li Jia with a stiff mouth, and said through gritted teeth: "Thank you."

Li Jia turned a blind eye to Shen Conglan's murderous gaze, without changing his face and heartbeat: "You're welcome, this is my honor."

Shen Conglan was so angry that his teeth were itching, Li Jia, a well-dressed beast with no peace of mind.At the banquet, he must have deliberately made the relationship between Yuan Qiu and him ambiguous, causing Shen Conglan to think wildly.

Shen Conglan blushed with embarrassment for such a big oolong, and the culprit was grabbing ice cream with his own son in his seat with peace of mind.

Yuan Qiu saw that Shen Conglan was fidgeting, and he guessed right away that Li Jia must have played tricks on Shen Conglan while he was in the hospital.With a sullen face, Yuan Qiu got up to go to the toilet. By the way, he picked up that cheeky Li Jia from his seat and dragged him into the toilet together.

Only Yuan Xia, Shen Conglan, and Xiao Di were left in the seat. Taking advantage of Li Jia leaving the seat, Xiao Di hurriedly ate the ice cream and fried chicken nuggets in the bowl. Shen Conglan secretly scolded Li Jia for what it was. A thing of conscience, he actually competed with his own son for food.

"Captain Shen, thank you." Yuan Xia said suddenly.

Shen Conglan didn't realize it for a while: "Thank me for what?"

"Thank you for always being by Xiaoqiu's side." Yuan Xia thanked him solemnly, with a very serious expression.

Shen Conglan was stunned for a few seconds, and then replied: "Well, sister Xia, did you make a mistake, Qiao Yan Wang—oh no, Yuan Qiu and I are actually not friends, our relationship is not very good."

Yuan Xia shook her head and smiled softly. She smiled beautifully, somewhat similar to Yuan Qiu, but very different: "I know Xiao Qiu, if he really doesn't appreciate you, he will definitely not want to be with you." Say one more word. That child has been taciturn since he was a child, and he only speaks a few words with people he has a good relationship with."

"Appreciate me?" Shen Conglan felt that she had heard the biggest joke in the world: "Pretty Hades——Yuan Qiu, he always looks disgusted every time he sees me, wishing to pack me up and throw me into the trash can, how could he appreciate me."

Yuan Xia's eyes were clear and bright, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth: "If he really hates you, why would he be willing to sacrifice himself to save you?"

Shen Conglan was stunned by Yuan Xia's question, which was also a question he had been puzzled so far.Yuan Xia sighed, talking about Yuan Qiu is like talking about an ignorant child:

"Although Xiaoqiu is not young, he always has a childish temper. Maybe he always troubles you because he admires you so much."

Shen Conglan was confused by Yuan Qiu's bizarre logic, so Yuan Qiu liked to find fault with people who he admired more when he met him. Is this guy a primary school student who hasn't graduated yet?

Now that he was talking about Yuan Qiu, Shen Conglan suddenly thought of what Deng Xinran said before he died. He said that Yuan Qiu had killed three teammates in exchange for today's achievements, and Yuan Qiu did not deny this.

Shen Conglan asked Yuan Xia with the mood of giving it a try, hoping to get some clues from her. Unexpectedly, as soon as Shen Conglan asked, Yuan Xia was stunned, and her brown eyes were stained with melancholy and sadness.

Shen Conglan self-destructed her slip of the tongue, and hastily apologized: "I'm sorry, Sister Xia, it was my indiscretion, I shouldn't have asked."

"It's okay——" Yuan Xia shook his head: "I don't know much about that matter. I vaguely remember that when Xiao Qiu was in the special forces, there were five people in the team, and Xiao Qiu ranked fifth. The mission that time was Escorted several hijacked hostages to a safe area to avoid the attack, but because traitors appeared in the group, their whereabouts were exposed, and all the hostages were attacked and killed, while Xiao Qiu and the captain were captured and detained together for 2 days 2 Night." Shen Conglan's breath suddenly stopped, she couldn't believe it: "Yuan Qiu was betrayed by a traitor?"

Yuan Xia sighed helplessly: "That's all I know. Later, the two of them teamed up and escaped together. The captain was seriously injured and became a vegetable. Xiaoqiu was also seriously injured, but somehow he survived. It is now healed."

Now Yuan Qiu is the only one left in the team of five. The betrayal of his brother and the serious injury of his friend have become a heavy burden in Yuan Qiu's heart.Shen Conglan finally understood why Yuan Qiu had his own psychiatrist. Anyone who encountered such a thing would more or less leave some shadows in their hearts.

However, the probability of three traitors appearing in the five-person team is too high. Even if undercover agents are arranged, they will not arrange more than two undercover agents in a team of less than ten people. Otherwise, coordinate and communicate. It's going to be complicated, as anyone who's been trained in a police academy knows.

And Yuan Qiu's team only has five people, why go to such lengths to arrange so many undercover agents?

"That mission, when exactly did it happen?"

Yuan Xia recalled it carefully, thought for a while and said, "It was about three years ago in the winter, and the location should be in Ertestan."

Shen Conglan silently memorized the time and place, the attack Yuan Qiu suffered was really strange, and from what Deng Xinran said before he died, he knew what happened to Yuan Qiu back then, and even now he is still trying to kill him.

Shen Conglan had a bad premonition, perhaps what happened to Yuan Qiu three years ago was inextricably linked to Gu Xi's organization, and they actually started to act very early.

Li Jia and Yuan Qiu came back from the bathroom, Li Jia seemed to be taught a lesson by Yuan Qiu, and helplessly sat in the seat farthest from Shen Conglan.Shen Conglan didn't want to disturb their family reunion, so she found an excuse and left.

Shen Conglan returned to her car, there were several sticky notes crookedly pasted on the car window, Shen Conglan tore them off and saw that they were all phone numbers and contact information left by some girls, Shen Conglan sighed helplessly, and put all the sticky notes torn off.

"Shen Conglan—" Yuan Qiu stopped him behind him, Shen Conglan didn't know when Yuan Qiu also followed, and looked back at him with a surprised face.

Yuan Qiu didn't speak, and squinted his eyes to look at Shen Conglan's phone on the car window. Shen Conglan was startled, his heart was beating wildly, and he put away the note like a child who did something wrong. Yuan Qiu's gaze was still aggressive, Shen Conglan silently took out the sticky note and tore it up again.

Yuan Qiu watched Shen Conglan tear off all the sticky notes, and then slowly said: "Li Jia told me everything about the banquet, he was just curious about you, so he couldn't help teasing you, don't you mind .”

Shen Conglan replied with a wry smile: "I don't care, it's just a little frustrated. Generally, teasing people is my strong point."

"..."

Yuan Qiu didn't accept Shen Conglan's joke, and for the first time, he didn't hurt him.Yuan Qiu stood silently on the side of the street, and after a while suddenly asked: "Did you start following him after you misunderstood the relationship between Li Jia and me?"

Shen Conglan's heart suddenly missed a few beats.

Yuan Qiu keenly noticed the subtle expression changes on Shen Conglan's face, he took a step forward, and continued: "You think he is my boyfriend, that's why you started paying attention to him?"

"Why do you mind so much?" Yuan Qiu's eyes were aggressive.

Shen Conglan was rendered speechless by Yuan Qiu's series of questioning. He took a step back and just pressed against the car door. Yuan Qiu gave him no room to back down and looked directly at Shen Conglan.

"I don't know..." Shen Conglan was helplessly defeated. In front of Yuan Qiu, he, who has always been able to deal with people with ease, couldn't resist this powerful offensive: "It may be the first time I know that you like men, and I am a little shocked." What's more, I don't think he is suitable for you."

Yuan Qiu's expression showed a hint of bewilderment, he thought carefully, and said something that made Shen Conglan dumbfounded: "I don't like men."

"Ah?" Shen Conglan was very surprised: "But Li Jia lied to me that he was your boyfriend—"

Yuan Qiu turned a deaf ear to Shen Conglan's words, he seemed to be immersed in his own world, after a while, he murmured again: "But I don't seem to like women either."

Shen Conglan was completely speechless.Yuan Qiu stood in a daze for a long time, and fell into the quagmire of thinking about his own sexuality. Shen Conglan felt that he would not be able to draw any conclusions for a while, so he silently moved two steps to the side.

"Such a profound philosophical question, why don't you go home and think about it, don't stand on the road blocking other people's way." Shen Conglan took out the car key and opened the car door: "I have something urgent and need to go home."

"Wait—" Yuan Qiu said to Shen Conglan who was sitting in the cab: "Do you remember what you said at the birthday party?"

"What?" Shen Conglan asked blankly.

"You say I'm a vicious dog, so you definitely won't like me." Yuan Qiu's tone returned to his previous coldness: "I hope you don't feel guilty just because I saved you, and don't like me because of it."

Shen Conglan's anger was aroused by Yuan Qiu's words, even if he was known as thick-skinned, he had never been rejected so strongly by others.Shen Conglan slammed the car door shut, watching Yuan Qiu's eyes return to their former coldness: "Don't worry, I, Shen Conglan, always keep my word."

After finishing speaking, Shen Conglan stepped on the accelerator and walked away. Yuan Qiu watched Shen Conglan's car disappear at the end of the road, and felt inexplicably upset again.

"What's wrong with me, why am I so irritable..."

Yuan Qiu impatiently undid the two buttons of his shirt, breathed a sigh of relief, and tried his best to suppress the boredom surging up in his heart.

Shen Conglan drove the car very fast all the way, thinking of what Yuan Qiu said just now, he couldn't help getting angry. The Maserati galloped by on the road, attracting many people's abuse.

Shen Conglan turned on the car stereo in annoyance, wanting to listen to a song to calm her mind. As soon as she turned it on, she heard Ke Luo's voice: "The road speed limit is 60, Shen Conglan, you are speeding."

"Hmm..." Shen Conglan's forehead started to hurt again: "Are you my navigator? Why do you care so much?"

Ke Luo went on to say: "There is a 60% probability that Yuan Qiu is regretting it now, and a 30% probability that he is angry with himself."

Shen Conglan said angrily: "Then there is still 10% left?"

"According to the position he was standing just now, there is still a 10% probability that he will be hit by a car."

"..."

Shen Conglan didn't want to speak.

Ke Luo sighed softly, put away his joking tone, and seriously comforted Shen Conglan: "Shen Conglan, you don't need to pay too much attention to Yuan Qiu's words. He just doesn't want you to fall in love with him because of guilt."

Shen Conglan's car slowed down, and he drove slowly on a relatively quiet road: "Because of guilt?"

Ke Luo replied: "For example, if you saved a dying little girl on the side of the road, and in order to thank you, she wanted to give her body, what would you do?"

Shen Conglan replied without hesitation: "Of course I refuse, I like men."

"..."

Ke Luo was so choked by Shen Conglan that he couldn't speak, Shen Conglan was joking, but he understood what Ke Luo wanted to express.

"So, King Qiao Yan thought he saved me, so I'm going to make a promise to him?"

"Like out of gratitude is different from love from the heart. Although there is no difference in the result, the experience of getting along will be much different."

What Ke Luo said is very reasonable. If it is only out of gratitude, it is not appreciation from the heart. To put it bluntly, it is like repaying a favor, not owed to each other, and offset the debt of favor.
