In Gu Hanhao's office, Ling Lan sat on the sofa summarizing, "I didn't expect to be really hit by that Yin Liang, at that time there was only Cai Weiqi in the room. Cai Weiqi could still remain calm when talking to Tu Jingjing, it can be seen that he didn't have much anger towards Tu Jingjing, because the love had already faded. But for Feng Jing, it was precisely because of deep love, so hated deeply. After enduring for a few minutes, he finally vented out, cursing and smashing his phone. I think Cai Weiqi's words might be like this: "You are all vampires!"

  Liu Fan nodded in agreement, "That's right, so Yin Liang and the others only heard the three words 'vampire' clearly, because Cai Wei Qi shouted these three words with the most force."

  Yuan Jun reported formally on the side, "After this time, I realized that handling cases cannot be preconceived and taken for granted. When we first discovered Cai Weiqi's fall to death, and there were neighbors who proved that there was a quarrel before he fell, I thought it was someone who had a dispute with Cai Weiqi and then pushed him down the building, just like Yan Lixing. As a result, it was actually an outsider, Yin Liang, who accidentally guessed correctly - at the time of the incident, there was only one person in the room, the deceased!"

  Ling Lan couldn't help but sneak a smile, "Yuan Jun, what you said about 'first come first served' being self-reflection or sarcasm towards Yan Lixing?"

  Four people in the office burst out laughing together, and the gloomy atmosphere finally passed.

  Gu Hanhao smiled for a while, then immediately put on the leader's demeanor and gave orders, "Yuan Jun, you continue to follow up on the surveillance of those three suspects, report any clues in time. Liu Fan, the report on Cai Weiqi's case is handed over to you, complete it as soon as possible. I have something to attend to outside for two days, and will be back on Monday next week. If there's an urgent matter, contact me at any time."

  Before Ling Lan could speak, Liu Fan asked, "Where are you going?"

  Gu Hanhao's expression became even more serious, clearly he was very dissatisfied with his subordinates openly prying into his private life. "Private matters, inconvenient to say! No problem, you all go out first."

  When the office was left with only Gu Hanhao and Ling Lan, Ling Lan carefully approached Gu Hanhao, who still had a hint of anger on his face, and asked softly, "That thing, what private matter is it? Can I know?"

  Gu Hanhao tidied up the files and miscellaneous items on his desk, locking some of them in a drawer. He raised his eyes to look at Ling Lan, his tone still lacking warmth. "It's strange, you should know that I mentioned it to you before?"

  Ling Lan thought for a few seconds and suddenly realized, "You wouldn't actually go to my house to get the photo album, would you?"

  Gu Hanhao glanced at his watch, it was already past 4:30 pm. "It seems we won't make it today, let's set off early tomorrow morning. Fortunately, it's not too far away, so driving there is fine. There must be many photo albums, and driving will also be convenient."

  Ling Lan's face turned difficult, "But, but I have an appointment with Peng Ze tomorrow, can't it be postponed for a few days? The day after tomorrow, will the day after tomorrow do?"

  Gu Hanhao's anger flared up again, "Don't even think about haggling, and as for that Peng Ze of yours, how dare you mention him? Look at the fate of a philandering man like him! Are you still willing to be his plaything?"

  Ling Lan was deeply irritated by the two words "plaything", she turned around and left Gu Hanhao's office with a huff, slamming the door shut with some force, causing a loud noise that made both Gu Hanhao inside and their colleagues outside curious for a few seconds.

  If it were anything else, Gu Hanhao would have spoken to her like that, she would have definitely retorted, but when it came to Peng Ze, she couldn't say anything. After all, what Gu Hanhao said was reasonable, and she was indeed Peng Ze's plaything. At this moment, she really hated herself for not being strong enough, hated Peng Ze for being promiscuous, and wished that Peng Ze would die at the hands of a woman just like Cai Weiqi!

  Unbeknownst to her, Linglan had already gone downstairs and walked out of the building into the courtyard. She first saw Gu Hanhao's car parked in the parking area, and for a moment, she had an idea to go kick it. But this idea was quickly dispelled, as in fact, she wanted to kick Peng Ze.

  Ling Lan sat on the edge of the flower bed in the center of the courtyard, with a bee buzzing around her but unaware. Finally, the bee stung her neck.

  Ling Lan cried out in pain and couldn't help but lament that she was truly unlucky, even the bees were taking advantage of her misfortune to bully her.

  Ling Lan?

  Ling Lan turned her head and found herself in the courtyard of the Public Security Bureau, where a flower bed stood. The person calling out to her was actually Shi Rou.

  "How are you sitting here? What's wrong, crying?" Shi Rou wore a fitted suit and held a thick file in her arms, "Did Han Hao bully you?"

  Ling Lan wiped away her tears and shook her head, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not in that kind of relationship with Gu Hanhao. The reason I've been close to him is because he has a case that needs my help."

  "You don't need to explain anything to me, what happened between me and Han Hao is all in the past. In a few days, I'll be getting married too. Anyway, we're all still friends. If he bullies you, you can tell me, and I'll teach him a lesson." Although she said this, Shi Rou's tone still inadvertently revealed a hint of jealousy.

  "Ling Lan suddenly became agitated, 'No, why don't you believe me? I and Gu Hanhao really have nothing going on! On the other hand, it's obvious that you two still had unfinished business before. Why did you marry someone else? Do you really love that person?'"

  Shi Rou's two willow eyebrows slightly furrowed, "But, Han Hao has already admitted it, I just sent him a text message to meet up for dinner tomorrow, and he said tomorrow he'll be going back home with you to see his parents."

  Ling Lan was really furious, she just wanted to say something again, but was stopped by another person who suddenly appeared.

  "What are you talking about?" Yuan Jun ran up to them, "Ling Lan, have you been crying?"

  Ling Lan hastily shook her head in denial.

  Shi Rou nodded politely at Yuan Jun, then reached out to tidy up Ling Lan's hair which was blown into a mess by the wind. "By the way, welcome to Jiu Pin Literature, you can quickly enter our site by searching 'Jiu Pin Literature' on any search engine. Our site permanently provides free and pop-up window-free service for downloading high-quality and txt format files! Jun, I'll come over to deliver your wedding invitation later."

  "Don't worry, I'm saving up for a down payment."

  She watched Shiyu leave, and Linglan sat back on the flower stand, staring blankly at her phone. Her rationality told her to send a text message to refuse Peng Ze's appointment tomorrow, but her fingers were manipulated by emotions and couldn't move.

  Yuan Jun sat down beside Ling Lan and asked, "What's wrong? You seem to be struggling with something."

  Ling Lan didn't want to bring up her own sad story, "By the way, don't blame Gu Hanhao for being too harsh on you guys. He's so young and already a leader, he must have psychological pressure. Before, he probably treated his subordinates like friends, but gradually realized that wouldn't work, now he wants to establish some authority."

  Yuan Jun's expression changed to one of surprise, and he replied with a tinge of sourness, "Can't tell that you're quite capable, little girl, can even see through this?"

  Ling Lan smiled brightly at Yuan Jun, "Don't underestimate me, my mental age might be even older than yours."

  After finishing speaking, Ling Lan stood up and walked towards the gate with light steps. She decided to take a bus back to her residence first, and then carefully consider whether to refuse tomorrow's appointment.

  Yuan Jun was still sitting on the edge of the flowerbed, intoxicated by that sweet smile. At this moment, he really confirmed that he liked Ling Lan. However, Yuan Jun could see that Ling Lan seemed to care about Gu Han Hao in her heart, otherwise she wouldn't have explained for Gu Han Hao and said those words just now.

  Although Yuan Jun knew that Gu Hanhao kept Ling Lan by his side because he had a case that needed Ling Lan's cooperation, with Gu Hanhao's personality, he shouldn't have taken an interest in such a young girl. But for a girl like Ling Lan, Gu Hanhao was a fatal attraction. Thinking of this, a sour feeling slowly rose up from the bottom of Yuan Jun's heart. Could he compete with Gu Hanhao and win?
