Why don't you believe I'm a reincarnated person?

Chapter 182 This is realistic, but necessary.

"It's not like we haven't seen it before, why are you looking at me like that?"

Seeing the shocked expression in Ye Kai's eyes, Nie Xiaolan felt a little embarrassed and turned around, subconsciously saying something.

"I've seen it, that's all."

"But when you wear civilian clothes, your demeanor is completely different from when you wear a police uniform; it's like you're two different people."

""

Ye Kai finally managed to hide the surprise in his eyes, but his tone still carried a lot of emotion.

He had met Nie Xiaolan a few times before, mostly when she was on official business. At that time, Nie Xiaolan was always wearing a police uniform. Although she looked beautiful, she also had a capable demeanor.

But now, after changing into casual clothes, Nie Xiaolan is completely different from the woman he used to remember.

A simple white T-shirt and light blue jeans made Nie Xiaolan's temperament much gentler, as if she had transitioned from an era of war and conquest to a life of tranquility and peace.

"So tell me, do I look better in casual clothes or in uniform?"

Every girl is very concerned about her image, and Nie Xiaolan is no exception.

"They all look good."

Ye Kai answered without hesitation.

This is an easy question; if you can get this wrong, it'll be a death sentence.

"Perfunctory."

Nie Xiaolan rolled her eyes at Ye Kai, but didn't press the matter further.

The soup noodles that Ye Kai brought back were a special offering from the hotel's head chef, served in an expensive insulated container. As soon as the lid was opened, the aroma of stir-frying filled the air, making one's mouth water.

"It smells so good!"

"It tastes really good!"

After taking two sips, Nie Xiaolan couldn't help but praise it repeatedly.

"After a hangover, drinking some hot soup noodles is the best choice; it's good for your stomach."

"I'll take you out for something nice tonight when you've calmed down."

Ye Kai looked at Nie Xiaolan, who was drinking soup noodles, and felt that she was more lively and girlish at this moment, which was much cuter than her usual cold and aloof official demeanor.

Everyone has different faces, presented in different situations. Only those who can appreciate all of her faces can accurately understand her true personality.

"Not at night."

"I'm going back to Binhai this afternoon; I still have work to do there."

Nie Xiaolan shook her head, rejecting Ye Kai's suggestion.

You could see some regret on her face, but she still made her choice very firmly.

There is no doubt that Nie Xiaolan would never do something that would put personal interests before public duty.

"Then we'll owe you this meal for now."

Ye Kai didn't insist on keeping her, so he nodded in agreement.

Nie Xiaolan was still recovering from a hangover and wasn't feeling very well. After drinking some hot soup noodles, she seemed to have recovered quite a bit, but she still looked a bit sluggish and couldn't muster any energy.

Ye Kai and she sat on the sofa in the suite's living room, chatting idly about various things, mostly about Nie Xiaogang's work at school or workplace, as well as some cases handled by the Binhai Economic Investigation Department.

"Is the amount of money involved in Lin Xiaobo's case considered large?"

Ye Kai suddenly thought of this question and asked it casually.

"It's quite big."

"Anyway, in my review of previous case files, I haven't encountered any cases of individuals successfully absconding with 200 million in a single transaction. Otherwise, the Economic Crime Investigation Department wouldn't have set up a special task force for your case."

"We've recently invested a lot of manpower and resources in investigating this case, so Mr. Ye, you said you'd donate one-tenth of the amount involved to the Binhai Bureau. The bureau will definitely welcome that."

Although Nie Xiaolan had not been working for long, she had an aunt who was Xing Wenli, the deputy director of the Economic Crime Investigation Division, so she was very familiar with the work of the division.

"So, in that case, my suggestion should be approved?"

Ye Kai was very concerned about this issue, as it concerned whether he could get back the 200 million yuan that Lin Xiaobo had embezzled as soon as possible.

Even with the donation of 20 million to the Economic Crime Investigation Department, the remaining 180 million is still a considerable sum for Ye Kai, and can be used to do many practical things.

"Deputy Director Xing shouldn't object."

"She had no reason to object."

After considering it for a moment, Nie Xiaolan replied in this way.

The current situation mainly depends on the attitude of the Binhai Bureau.

If the Binhai Bureau feels that it's worth arguing with other departments over these 20 million yuan, then there's no suspense about this matter.

After all, for grassroots units, this money can really do a lot of practical things and solve many problems that are usually inconvenient to solve.

Deputy Director Xing Wenli was very efficient. Before Nie Xiaolan returned to Binhai, she had already persuaded the main leaders of the Binhai Bureau to agree to Ye Kai's proposal.

"Chairman Ye."

"If you could increase the donation a little more, this should be done."

When Deputy Director Xing called Ye Kai, he said the following.

"Sure, but I need to see the money back in my account as soon as possible."

"I'll deliver the money within three days, plus a donation of ten million. I mean what I say."

Without hesitation, Ye Kai made a promise to Deputy Director Xing.

Although he knew that the matter could be accomplished even without making concessions, Ye Kai felt that making some concessions wouldn't be a bad thing, considering the subsequent cooperation between the two parties and the influence behind Deputy Directors Nie Xiaolan and Xing Wenli.

In this way, Deputy Director Xing would have more face among the leaders, and he could get the money faster, which could be said to be a win-win situation.

"Can!"

"You'll see this money tomorrow, Mr. Ye, in less than three days!"

Deputy Director Xing responded very readily this time, which clearly showed that Ye Kai had guessed correctly. She had already established connections with the leadership, and the matter was now a done deal.

Faced with potential pressure from the ministry at any time, both sides actually hoped to resolve the matter quickly and make it a fait accompli.

"Then I will start making arrangements now to donate this money to the Binhai Bureau in the name of the company."

"If Deputy Director Xing has any special requirements, he can let me know in advance so I can make some targeted arrangements."

Ye Kai, in return for the favor, decided to make things even better, creating a win-win situation for everyone.

"I'll have Lanlan handle the donation with you."

Deputy Director Xing did not refuse Ye Kai's offer, but instead designated a specific person to handle the matter.

After Ye Kai hung up the phone, he felt that Deputy Director Xing's actions were very clear in their purpose: to deeply bind his niece Nie Xiaolan to him. Even if he did not explicitly propose to help them establish a romantic relationship, he wanted to make the two of them close friends.

He wasn't opposed to the matter, but he was curious about the extent of Nie Xiaolan's family's influence and the amount of support they could provide.

Although he didn't want to view the relationship between the two in a very pragmatic way, he had to consider that if he wanted to take revenge in the future, he would need some deep support from the official forces.

This is realistic, but necessary.
