Detective: I, Cao Jianjun, started by arresting my brother-in-law.

"I got a shopping card at the RT-Mart next door, and I'll leave it here for you."

See this.

Without a second thought, Cao Jianjun immediately picked up the phone and refused.

“Ms. Li, this is really unacceptable. If I take it, it would be a real bribe.”

Li Lijuan smiled in surprise and said, "No way, I only recharged a few thousand yuan."

Several... several thousand dollars!

Cao Jianjun smiled wearily and said, "Even a few hundred yuan is a violation of regulations."

"Ok."

Li Lijuan was speechless and helpless, pointing to the large pile of things in the refrigerator: "And these..."

I'll give you the cash.

"Oh, Officer Cao."

Li Lijuan said with a wry smile, "You... I just wanted to express my gratitude, there was really no need to pick them all off, was there?"

“After Ma Shuai died, everyone was threatening me. People from the new Shuai Group were watching me, and Gao Mingyuan’s people were watching me.”

"In that situation where I was surrounded by wolves, I... I felt really helpless."

“Li Chengyang couldn’t help me at all. I was so desperate that I really couldn’t go on living.”

"Sometimes we women really want a man to lean on..."

"But at that moment, Li Chengyang told me that it was you who came and solved all my problems, and also found out the murderer who killed Ma Shuai."

“After that, Gao Mingyuan’s threat to me was removed, and the shareholders of Xinshuai Group also behaved themselves.”

"So, Officer Cao, you might not think it's a big deal..."

"But for me... for me, it was truly a blessing of rebirth."

As Li Lijuan spoke, her eyes reddened.

Standing in front of the refrigerator in the open kitchen, looking straight at Cao Jianjun, I felt both aggrieved and heartbroken.

"Feel sorry."

Cao Jianjun readily handed her a tissue: "Ms. Li, you've already helped me a lot by renting the house to me."

"What am I...?"

Li Lijuan herself felt ashamed: "Officer Cao, you saved my life, I just..."

"okay."

Cao Jianjun raised his hand and patted Li Lijuan on the shoulder: "I'm not as great as you say. Let's cook. I also want to try Ms. Li's cooking."

The implication is that I'm giving you a chance to repay my kindness.

Li Lijuan immediately stopped crying and smiled, wiping away her tears with a tissue and nodding vigorously.

"Okay! Officer Cao, please wait a moment, I'll be right there."

Cao Jianjun also gave up the idea of ​​selling the refrigerator full of fresh food to her, firstly because it was worthless, and secondly because he felt it was unnecessary.

I can't accept the shopping cards; paying the rent is enough.

Cao Jianjun didn't bother with other trivial matters.

He knew what Li Lijuan had said; it wasn't an exaggeration.

None of the shareholders of the New Marshal Group at that time were easy to deal with.

If it weren't for her, Li Lijuan would likely have been ruined by this conglomerate worth hundreds of millions.

While Li Lijuan was cooking, Cao Jianjun made up the bed and tidied up the room a bit. He planned to stay here starting tonight.

183. Let's fight Guan Hongyu first and talk about it later. [6 chapters, please subscribe]

Cao Jianjun ate dinner twice.

At six o'clock, I ate mutton soup sandwiches with He Yong and Li Chengyang at a hole-in-the-wall restaurant.

At 8:30, I had Western food with Li Lijuan again.

Steak, pasta, salad, and white wine.

This is what Li Lijuan meant by a sense of ritual.

Two people sat facing each other on either side of the oval dining table. Li Lijuan, with a rosy complexion, stood up, holding a wine glass, looking very serious.

"Officer Cao, thank you."

Cao Jianjun sat there as steady as a mountain, simply holding his wine glass and smiling slightly, which was his answer.

After the perfunctory thank-you ceremony ended, Li Lijuan sat down again, looked at the table full of dishes, then at Cao Jianjun, and smiled sheepishly.

"To be honest, before I met Officer Cao, I had thought of many ways to express my gratitude."

"Furthermore, I asked several of the most expensive restaurants in the provincial capital..."

“I even bought a Gucci men’s belt that supposedly has thirty gemstones on it.”

"But I never expected that I would thank you in this way today."

Li Lijuan pointed at the half-hearted Western meal and laughed, becoming increasingly embarrassed.

"Is money valuable to Ms. Li?"

Cao Jianjun smiled and wrote Fan Wen, while Li Lijuan shook her head: "I don't lack money."

"so……"

Cao Jianjun shrugged: "Compared to things that money can buy, cooking a meal is definitely a heartfelt way for me to thank Ms. Li."

"I didn't think it through."

Li Lijuan nodded and said, "During those years with Ma Shuai, I lived in the circle of commercial interests and got used to measuring everything with money."

People change.

Although Cao Jianjun wasn't hungry, he didn't want to continue rambling: "Let's eat."

"Have a meal."

Dinner was a bit difficult, but Cao Jianjun forced himself to finish a steak and a foie gras pasta dish.

After drinking another glass of white wine, I felt like I was going to throw up.

After dinner, Li Lijuan insisted on washing the dishes herself.

This was indeed rare for a woman who had been pampered for so many years, even though she broke two plates while washing them.

By the time I finished cleaning up the kitchen, it was already 10 p.m.

Li Lijuan realized it was very late and finally said goodbye.

Cao Jianjun was also full. He escorted her downstairs, watched Li Lijuan drive away, and then breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

I just pray that this rich female landlord will fucking stay away from me in the future.

Cao Jianjun wandered around the neighborhood for a long time until midnight before going back upstairs to sleep.

…………

The next day.

Jingang City, Changfeng Detachment.

It was 2:30 PM, just after the start of the workday.

Zhou Xun, smoothing his flowing hair, opened the door to the criminal investigation area in a loud voice.

"Come on, wake up, wake up, everyone stop sleeping..."

As Zhou Xun spoke, he waved a document in his hand, making a rustling sound.

As he walked, he nudged each of the officers who were dozing off in their chairs.

"Alright, alright, time to get to work. Wake up, everyone. I need to tell you something..."

They shouted and yelled, waking up every officer in the brigade who was taking a nap.

"I need to tell you something."

Zhou Xun found a workstation to lean against, turned around and said, "The Provincial Criminal Investigation Division just called with the latest notification."

"Comrade Cao Jianjun is hereby appointed as the deputy head of the Changfeng Detachment of the Jin Gang City Detachment in Shandong Province, effective immediately."

"Did you hear that clearly?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the room was stunned.

Everyone looked at each other, speechless for a long time.

"Captain Zhou, what...what do you mean?"

Officer Xiao Wang slowly realized what was happening and stood up, saying, "Cao Jianjun, the model policeman at the national commendation conference the day before yesterday? He's...he's come to our team?"

"Correct."
