A man in Handong: living off Zhong Xiaoai

Lu Yike nodded slightly and pursed her lips slightly.

She had long heard that Secretary Qi, who came from the procuratorate, was an excellent driver.

I never expected that I would accept a mother and daughter to hitch a ride with me?

My current status really limits my imagination; how can this car be driven like this?

How did those people agree to be someone else's car?

If it were me, I would absolutely not agree. How could I possibly just open the car door and get in (Zhao Zhao) like that?

Thinking of this, Lu Yike smiled and shook her head.

Then, she looked at Sun Huashan, who was looking completely bewildered.

"Alright, just wait here. We need to verify the evidence first, and we'll let you know as soon as we have the results."

Sun Huashan looked at Lu Yike as she turned and left, appearing somewhat flustered.

"Young comrade, are you just going to handcuff me here and wait for the results? Shouldn't you let me go to your office, give me some water or something?"

Lu Yike completely ignored Sun Huashan, walked straight to the door, opened it, and went out.

Lu Yike found Sun Huashan ridiculous. He had been dealt with so badly by his bureau chief Sha Ruijin last time, so why did he still dare to come?

Besides, everyone in Handong knows that Sha Ruijin is Qi Tongwei's protégé. Why would Sun Huashan turn around and jump twice from the spot where he fell?

Chapter 279 Aren't we all just friends with Qi Tongwei?

Lu Yike thought Qi Tongwei was quite skilled at driving, but that didn't mean she would disobey Sha Ruijin.

Also, Lu Yike actually came to work at the procuratorate because she admired Qi Tongwei. She was a bit like Lü Lingling back then. During her school years, she saw a lot of news about Qi Tongwei solving strange cases.

Moreover, Qi Tongwei had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and was handsome and resolute. At one point, he had also made Lu Yike's heart flutter.

But later, she heard a lot of rumors about Qi Tongwei. He was already married and liked to race cars everywhere. Today, she learned that he had also raced a mother and daughter in a car. This made Lu Yike feel that she and Qi Tongwei might not be the same kind of people.

After seeing Lu Yike leave the interrogation room, Sun Huashan shouted after her.

"Hey! Comrade, Xiao Lu! Don't lock me up in this interrogation room alone! At least leave someone else here!"

Sun Huashan looked around the interrogation room, which was eerily dark. He wondered if Lu Yike had done it on purpose or if she had simply forgotten that the lights in the interrogation room were off.

Sun Huashan could only make out the faint light shining through the small window on the high wall to see the situation inside the room.

Sun Huashan really didn't understand why Sha Ruijin (477) had handcuffed him here as soon as he came in.

Does this mean that everyone who comes to report has to go through this process?

When I was the vice governor, I didn't have much contact with the provincial anti-corruption bureau. I guess this is their reporting process.

That should be the case. I've already spoken to Zheng Jindong, and he personally told me that Sha Ruijin was his childhood classmate. There's absolutely no mistake about that.

Surely Zheng Jindong couldn't have instructed Sha Ruijin to sabotage him, could he?

This possibility is practically nonexistent. Zheng Jindong and Qi Tongwei are mortal enemies, and no one in Handong wants to get rid of Qi Tongwei more than Zheng Jindong.

So how could Zheng Jindong not have a good impression of him after learning that he was going to report Qi Tongwei, but instead try to harm him?

I didn't know Zheng Jindong before, and I had no grudge against him. He would never harm me.

Regardless of the circumstances, Zheng Jindong wanted to get rid of Qi Tongwei, and he desperately wanted to.

Therefore, Zheng Jindong will definitely do his best to help him.

Thinking of this, Sun Huashan felt much more at ease.

He looked around at himself; it was a bit eerie and terrifying, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of a horror movie.

However, Sun Huashan felt that this was all part of the normal reporting process of the provincial anti-corruption bureau, and he just needed to wait patiently.

Outside the office building of the Provincial Police Department in Handong Province.

Lu Lingling noticed something strange these past few days: every time two minivans stopped, a striking sight would appear at the Provincial Police Department.

Jiang Guangming, Zhou Shutong, Luo Bixin, Zhao Xiaohui, and even Chang Hong and Sun Duoduo filed out, chatting and laughing as they got off the van.

What's going on? Lü Lingling feels isolated. Aren't they all Qi Tongwei's good friends, with pure and genuine friendship? Why are they working together every day and having so much to talk about? Why am I the one being isolated?

Thinking of this, Lü Lingling quickened her pace and caught up with the group. By then, they had arrived at the elevator entrance and were waiting for it together.

Jiang Guangming smiled happily.

"Little stutterer cooks every day, she's practically a chef now."

Hearing this, Luo Bixin smiled happily and looked at Zhao Xiaohui beside her.

"Xiao Hui, your sister is amazing. She's been training Little Stutterer to cook every day at home, she's practically turning Little Stutterer into a Michelin-starred chef!"

Zhou Shutong covered her mouth and laughed at this moment.

"That's right! Xiaoqin, that spoiled and willful young lady, has very picky tastes. Little stutterer is in trouble!"

Sun Duoduo smiled slightly.

“I still prefer the beef ribs from the German barbecue place last time. I told Sister Chen Yang about it, and she said she would buy them for us tonight.”

Zhao Xiaohui pouted.

"Why do I have to go to work, but my dear sister doesn't? Why does she stay home all day training Little Stutterer to cook her favorite dishes? I have my own favorite foods too, you know! I need Little Stutterer's help too!"

As she spoke, Zhao Xiaohui looked resentful.

At this moment, Chang Hong smiled and patted Zhao Xiaohui's arm.

Tell me what you like to eat, and I'll make it for you when we get back!

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiaohui's tense face instantly brightened.

"Hehe, really?! Sister Hong, you're the best!"

Jiang Guangming smiled as he looked at Zhao Xiaohui, who was beaming with excitement.

"Xiao Hui'er, you've got the wrong name, haven't you? Chang Hong may be older than you, but you've been with Secretary Qi for much longer, so logically you should be the older sister!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiaohui realized that what he said made a lot of sense. She and the Empress Zhong Xiaoai were best friends, so she should have been one of the first to benefit from their proximity.

I wasn't quite sure before, but now Zhao Xiaohui has a general understanding.

I let Qi Tongwei get on the car after Chen Yang and Yang Mi, but I don't know whether I or Lü Lingling got on first.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xiaohui turned around and glanced at Lü Lingling who was standing to the side.

Her little face was filled with resentment.

Lu Lingling listened from the side, completely bewildered.

Especially that hesitant look on Zhao Xiaohui's face when she turned around just now—what's wrong? What did I do wrong again? Does she think I'm being snide about their secrets?

Soon, the elevator arrived at the first floor, and the ladies-in-waiting, the concubines, and so on—a whole bunch of empresses—entered the elevator together.

As the saying goes, three women make a drama, and now the entire elevator is full of women.

It's not that they're going to stage a palace drama.

Rather, it means that the entire elevator was extremely erotic.

Actually, because each of them was wearing a different perfume, there was indeed a pleasant fragrance in the elevator at that moment.

Lü Lingling stood at the back of the group, her brows furrowed.

She felt like she was being ostracized. Why did Qi Tongwei take them out to play more often when they were supposed to be just friends?

The elevator stopped shortly afterward. This floor was the office floor of the Criminal Investigation Department. Jiang Guangming, Luo Bixin, and Zhou Shutong turned around and smiled at the people in the elevator.

"Bye-bye, see you when you get off work!"

"Bye-bye!"

Bye-bye!

At this moment, Zhao Xiaohui pouted.

"Won't we meet at lunchtime? What do you mean by 'see you after get off work'? Humph! It's not like you guys skip lunch to stay in shape!"

Because the office and personnel department are general departments, Zhao Xiaohui, Chang Hong, and Sun Duoduo are on the same floor, and they need to go up further.

Chapter 280 We are all Qi Tongwei's car enthusiasts!

Lu Lingling's judicial team was actually on the same floor as Jiang Guangming's criminal investigation team.

When Jiang Guangming and the others left, they were interacting very affectionately.

But when I got off the elevator, it felt ice-cold. What happened? Was Qi Tongwei being biased? Did he stop being my friend?

With this puzzling question in mind, Lü Lingling jogged a few steps and caught up with Luo Bixin, who seemed more approachable and had a sweet smile.

With a puzzled look, he asked in a very low voice.

"Hey, how come you two are getting along so well lately?"

Luo Bixin looked back at Lü Lingling and then nodded.

"Haven't we always had a good relationship?"

Upon hearing this, Lü Lingling frowned.

Could it be that Jiang Guangming, Luo Bixin, and Zhou Shutong are from the same department, and they had some kind of social event with Chang Hong and Sun Duoduo from the personnel department?

Because I'm not in either of those departments, I feel isolated?

That shouldn't be the case, Zhao Xiaohui works in the office, so she's not included in this scope.

And the things they just said made it sound like they lived together.

"But I don't understand what you're saying!"

After hearing what Lü Lingling said, Luo Bixin looked at Lü Lingling.

Luo Bixin thought about it and realized it made sense. Wasn't Lü Lingling also Qi Tongwei's car? How come she was left out?

Thinking of this, Luo Bixin didn't treat Lü Lingling as an outsider and said with a smile.

"We all live together now."

Hearing this, Lü Lingling simply couldn't understand.

Even if you get along very well at work, if you get together every day, drink together frequently, or spend a night at someone's house drunk, that's all understandable.
