CCTV News: In Beijing, Chen Shuting brings a woman to her door.

The policewoman nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

after all.

Qi Lin has quite a few acquaintances in the Municipal Bureau.

An Xin and Li Xiang often go out to eat with Qi Lin.

Maybe they've come looking for them again.

"Brother Qilin, why don't you come in and sit down and wait?"

As the policewoman spoke, she went to fetch Gao Qilin a cup of hot water...

……

at the same time.

Inside the office of the municipal bureau chief.

A fierce argument is currently taking place.

"Why was Gao Xiaoqin released? Gao Xiaoqin bribed officials with a total amount of five million yuan; she's a big fish!"

An Xin, dressed in a police uniform, had piercing eyes and was practically slamming her hand on the table at the other person.

At this moment, Cheng Du sat at his desk, his face showing a hint of anger at An Xin. He pointed at An Xin's nose and cursed, "An Xin!"

"What do you think the Municipal Public Security Bureau is, your home? You dare to come here and bang on my table?"

"I don't think you want to wear that police uniform anymore!"

"It's not a question of whether or not to wear it!"

An Xin looked somewhat agitated, her eyes reddening: "We can't let Gao Xiaoqin go!"

Also at this time.

The office door was suddenly pushed open, and Li Xiang practically barged in, repeatedly apologizing to Cheng Du: "Director Cheng, I'm so sorry, so sorry."

As he spoke, Li Xiang pulled An Xin towards the door, saying, "An Xin, come out with me!"

An Xin twisted and turned, trying to break free from Li Xiang's grasp, still wanting to argue with Cheng Du about something.

But at that moment, Li Xiang whispered to An Xin, "It was Zhong Xiaoai who ordered the release of the people. Brother Qilin is right at the door."

As Li Xiang finished speaking.

An Xin fell silent immediately and pursed her lips.

after all.

Zhong Xiaoai, as the head of the capital's investigation team, is the person primarily responsible for this incident.

If Zhong Xiaoai were to speak...

So, no matter how much I argue with Cheng Du, it won't make a difference.

Not only that.

Based on An Xin's impression of Team Leader Zhong, Zhong Xiaoai didn't seem like someone who would easily let a briber go.

Could it be that behind this...

What other unspoken interests are involved?

Thinking this way, An Xin felt completely lost.

He was brought to Gao Qilin by Li Xiang without really understanding what was going on.

Upon seeing Gao Qilin, An Xin realized that she simply couldn't muster the smile she usually showed him!

An Xin subconsciously gritted her teeth and looked at Gao Qilin.

"why?"

Gao Qilin raised an eyebrow and looked over: "What? Why?"

"Why did you make Zhong Xiaoai release Gao Xiaoqin?!"

Chapter 184 Sending Gao Xiaoqin back!

As An Xin finished speaking.

A helpless smile appeared on Gao Qilin's face as he looked at An Xin.

"Officer An, how can you be sure I was the one who released him?"

An Xin gritted her teeth before slowly saying, "In the entire Jinghai City, besides you, who else can persuade Zhong Xiaoai?"

"why?"

"Besides bribing, Gao Xiaoqin is also your competitor. Why do you want Zhong Xiaoai to let Gao Xiaoqin go?"

As An Xin finished speaking.

Gao Qilin shrugged helplessly, then reached out and put his arm around An Xin's shoulder.

“An Xin, you’re being unreasonable. She’s the head of the investigation team in the capital, and I’m just an entrepreneur at best. How can I possibly persuade her?”

"Couldn't it be... that higher-ups, or rather Gao Xiaoqin's backers, have influence in the capital that made Zhong Xiaoai let her off the hook?"

As Gao Qilin finished speaking, a look of deep shock immediately appeared on An Xin's face.

"you……"

Gao Qilin released his arm and helplessly shrugged at An Xin.

"An Xin, how can you guess what the big boss is thinking?"

"Maybe after letting Gao Xiaoqin go, we can catch an even bigger fish, right?"

After Gao Qilin finished speaking.

An Xin finally lowered her head, realizing that her attitude towards Gao Qilin was wrong.

That's right.

Gao Xiaoqin's backing is not simple. It would be strange if Gao Xiaoqin could be captured so easily.

I shouldn't have wrongly accused Gao Qilin.

Thinking this, An Xin took a deep breath, lowered her head, and whispered in a barely audible voice, "Yes, I'm sorry."

Li Xiang immediately looked surprised, and Gao Qilin's face was also filled with disbelief.

The two couldn't help but stare at each other.

After a while.

Gao Qilin finally laughed: "Wow! Goodness, our stubborn Officer An actually apologizes to people now?"

As he spoke, Gao Qilin nudged An Xin with his elbow.

An Xin's face suddenly turned red: "I, I..."

Li Xiang smiled and shielded An Xin behind him: "Alright, alright, Brother Qilin, An Xin already knows he was wrong, let's let him off this time."

Gao Qilin laughed and said, "Alright, this time we're giving Li Xiang face."

"Officer An, can't you treat us ordinary people a little better...?"

……

A burst of laughter erupted at the doorway.

soon.

Gao Xiaoqin's figure slowly walked out from the direction of the city bureau's interrogation room.

With a smug look on his face, he greeted An Xin and Li Xiang.

"Officer An, Officer Li."

And soon.

Gao Xiaoqin noticed Gao Qilin behind the two of them, and her expression immediately froze.

Gao Qilin smiled and extended his hand to Gao Xiaoqin: "Gao Xiaoqin."

"We're practically acquaintances who've met before, aren't you going to say hello?"

Gao Xiaoqin pursed her lips, forcibly suppressing the turmoil in her heart.

after all.

My presence here today is inextricably linked to Gao Qilin.

His smugness just now was nothing more than a forced act in front of the police officer who had interrogated him before.

But when Gao Xiaoqin saw Gao Qilin, she couldn't smile at all.

Not wanting to lose face, she forced a smile and extended her hand toward Gao Qilin, saying, "Hello, Gao Qilin."

The two held hands briefly.

Gao Qilin said softly, "Gao Xiaoqin, it's on my way anyway, shall I take you home?"

The words fell.
