Ark, they don't revolve around you

Chapter 18 Why don’t you go in?

Shi Huaiya was drunk and fell on the table with a bang.

Ever since Zhuang Ning said those things, Shi Huaiya said nothing more and just kept his mouth shut and drank in silence.

She drank one cup after another. People who didn't know her would think that she was having career setbacks or emotional problems, so as expected, she collapsed.

As a result, he grabbed the ear of the table with his head, and the force was so great that it attracted the attention of bystanders.

Zhuang Ning didn't feel embarrassed. He picked up the terminal and wanted to ask someone to send the little tiger back.

……No.

She is not a little tiger, but a big tiger. She is the director of the Longmen Guard Bureau and perhaps the youngest director since the establishment of the Guard Bureau. Just with this identity, she is a big shot in Longmen.

Before the button was pressed, a strong but fair hand rested on Zhuang Ning's shoulder.

He looked back and saw the long green hair swaying, the woman smiling slightly, and there were sharp horns on her forehead.

This is a ghost. There is a strong smell of blood on her body. If nothing unexpected happens, she has gone to fight.

Star Bear.

As the most outstanding elite in the Imperial Guards, she had been involved in both the black and white worlds and was highly respected.

"You're here too?" Zhuang Ning was a little surprised.

"Oh, didn't Missy tell you? I came a little late today and I got an unexpected order. I tried to be as fast as possible."

As she spoke, she sat down next to Shi Huaiya, scratched her head, and looked at her boss with a headache, "Missy is drunk, I told her before that she should drink less before I came... Alas, they are both very similar in that they don't listen to others and are self-centered."

Zhuang Ning nodded slightly.

"Have a drink with me, Doctor." Compared with Shi Huaiya, she was much calmer, with a smile on her face, "Long time no see."

"..."

after an hour.

There were fewer and fewer people in the bar, but Xingxiong's eyes seemed to be looking at a monster.

"You really can't get drunk?"

“…Being drunk is bad for your health.”

"But you can indulge yourself a little." Xingxiong threw down the bottle of wine, "Okay, I won't drink anymore. I can't make you drunk."

"Well, let's talk business."

Zhuang Ning was silent for a few seconds, and the harmonious atmosphere just now disappeared. He looked at her and said quietly, "——What did Wei Yanwu ask you to tell me?"

Xingxiong was stunned.

There was surprise on her face, and then it turned into helplessness.

"How did you know?"

Wei Yanwu did ask Xingxiong to come and gather some information. The city lord of Longmen has always trusted her in this regard.

It's just ridiculous that the most stable person in the entire Guard Bureau is actually a ghost known for his cruelty and aggressiveness.

"This isn't my first time dealing with the police, nor is it my first time dealing with the mafia, Sister Gui." There was no emotion on his face. "Your questions seem very casual, but you keep looking at my face, trying to get something out of me."

"Who else would instruct you to do this except Wei Yanwu? It can't be that you are just being vigilant and want to see if Rhodes Island is going to cause trouble again, right?"

Xingxiong spread out his hands.

"I admit defeat, I admit defeat." She curled her lips and cursed, "I have already told Chief Wei, there is no way he could get the information out of him, but there are orders from above, and we can only obey them."

"No need to surrender." Zhuang Ning looked at her meaningfully, and was curious. "Did you kill anyone today?"

"How did you get it?"

"intuition."

Xingxiong was stunned again and pursed his lips: "Maybe I shouldn't have suggested that Missy ask you to come over."

"No, Sister Ghost, I still admire you."

"How hypocritical." Xingxiong's voice became a little colder, "Do you really have to call me that?"

"..."

Zhuang Ning smiled, and looked a little happy.

Ghost Sister is her nickname in the underworld...it refers to her darkest and most shameful experience.

He mentioned it repeatedly.

With a gentle smile, there was also compassion on his face.

Perhaps he was a little drunk, Xingxiong gritted his teeth and glared at him.

She stared at the man and said, "Tell me, what does Rhodes Island want to do?"

"What do you want to do?" Zhuang Ning tilted his head. "Do you doubt me? But I'm just an unarmed doctor. Someone like you can easily kill hundreds of me, right?"

"really?"

Xingxiong lowered his eyes and gritted his teeth, "But you...how could you..."

"What's wrong with me?"

"Why... so..."

"If there are no words, there is no need to find them." Zhuang Ning stood up, his voice turned cold, as if it was permeated with icy chill and came from the deepest hell.

"I just want to make sure the transition of power is smooth, and in that respect, we're all the same."

"Xing Sir, you shouldn't have misunderstood me, or do you think that I'm easy to bully in your impression, and that I can be manipulated by you?"

"But you don't know me, and you don't need to know me." He paused and sneered, "Tell Wei Yanwu, he can doubt it all he wants, but Rhodes Island has its own interests in Longmen."

Zhuang Ning stood up slowly. He had gained enough intelligence tonight and it was time to go back.

Xingxiong froze in place.

She saw the doctor look back for the last time, his eyes were so dark, like a pitch-black night without any light or stars.

"Don't drive after drinking. A ghost will be very excited after killing someone. This should not be a stain on you."

It really feels like the consolation from a friend.

If only his tone was a little less casual, a little less standoffish.

Xingxiong watched him leave, smiled weakly, and gently patted Shi Huaiya's little face.

"Missy, time to get up?"

"Ah?" Shi Huaiya opened her eyes hazily, and the outline of Xingxiong appeared in her eyes. "Xingxiong?"

"it's me."

"What about him?"

"It's Zhuang Ning who comes up, not me. I'll be very sad."

"...I'm sorry." Tonight, the drunk little tiger was particularly docile.

Xingxiong, who was used to seeing her arrogant look on weekdays, was stunned and his gloomy mood dissipated a little.

"Let's go back."

"I drank and couldn't drive."

"Then I'll drive."

"You've been drinking too, you can't break the law knowingly."

Xingxiong was helpless: "Why are you also as competitive as Lao Chen?"

Shi Huaiya pursed her lips, sobbed, and began to cry softly.

"Don't mention her. When I see her, I will beat her up..."

"It's all her fault...well, maybe it's not just her, but who cares...I'm going to teach her a lesson!"

She spoke incoherently, and after saying these words, she tilted her head and fell asleep.

It seems that she has been traumatized, like a grudge woman. If she can still recall this incident when she wakes up tomorrow morning, she will definitely feel very ashamed, right?

And all this originated from that man... Xingxiong was even more helpless. He reached out and embraced Shi Huaiya, and walked out of the bar.

It was indeed very cold in Longmen at night, with swaying shadows of trees and gusts of chilly wind.

Xingxiong did not walk to his own car, but staggered to a stop next to a car.

He opened the car door and threw Shi Huaiya into the back seat - she was sleeping so deeply that she didn't react at all.

Xingxiong pulled the corner of his mouth and came to the passenger seat.

"Aren't you going to drive?" said the woman in the driver's seat.

"Forget it." She turned her head away. "You shouldn't drive after drinking."

"You've never been drunk."

"Well, but I'm a policeman after all, so I have to abide by the law, right?"

Her vision finally cleared, reflecting the appearance of the woman opposite her.

Xingxiong laughed, and there might not be a hint of complaint in his smile: "Old Chen, you just keep watching outside, and don't even go in?"

That person - Chen Huijie shook his head.

“I don’t dare go in.”

I don’t know whether to call it honesty or timidity, she said quietly.

Chapter 19 I hope you can be my helper

Xingxiong admitted that he was stunned when he heard this. He had never thought that the person in front of him would admit it so frankly.

"Don't you dare?"
