Chapter 38: Side Attack

  At this time, he was carefully grinding a key quickly, and after a while, the key was already ground. He put the key away and then put the telephone, ink pad, file holder and other things on the office desk back to their original positions.

  Liu Shijiang had just put away the things on his office desk when the door opened and Cai Mengyao walked in.

  "Wow, you're here really early today." Cai Mengyao asked with a slightly surprised smile.

  "That's just so I can see more of you." Liu Shijiang said with a smile as he looked at Cai Mengyao.

  "Smooth talker." Cai Mengyao said and started doing her own thing.

  In the director's office, Chen Xiru was sitting in front of the tea table drinking tea at this time, and Mei Wenjie was sitting beside him.

  "Captain Mei, how's the investigation going?" Chen Xiru asked with a smile as he poured her tea.

  "He didn't say anything else, just begged me to let his child go." Mei Wanjie said to Chen Xiru.

  "How can that be? Waiting for his confession to report back to Nanjing." Chen Xiru said, picking up the white porcelain cup from the windowsill and taking a sip, then putting it back on the tea table.

  "I understand," said Mei Wenjie.

  "Little sister, Wei Zhiping is an old hand in our line of work. Ordinary interrogation won't work on him. I think we should give him a bit of the hard stuff." Chen Xiru said to Mei Wenjie.

  "Hmm, Director, then how will his family be handled?" Mei Wenjie asked Chen Xiru.

  "When he confesses, his family will let him off." Chen Xiru looked at Mei Wenjie and said after a moment of thought.

  "Hmm." Mei Wenjie nodded and looked at Chen Xiru, saying: "I understand."

  "Have a cup of tea." Chen Xiru smiled and said to Mei Wenjie: "Little Mei, you've done it again. The 'Six Nights of Romance' is updated the fastest, all text is typed by hand. Now that Wei Zhipin has gotten into trouble, the deputy director position is vacant."

  He smiled and said, gently tapping on the tea table. Mei Wenjie just smiled and looked at him.

  "Director, arresting Communist Party members is my duty. Wenjie's heart has no distractions."

  Chen Xiru smiled and looked at Mei Wenjie, after she finished speaking, she burst out laughing and pointed at her with her hand, saying: "Haha, I knew you were this kind of person, Xiao Qiang is also this kind of person, he doesn't care about being a director or not."

  At this time, Mei Wenjie just smiled and looked at Chen Xiru who was talking.

  "Xiao Qiang is such a naughty kid, he and I are both just pretending to be fierce. How about it?" Chen Xiru asked with a smile as she looked at Mei Wenjie.

  Mei Wenjie took a sip of tea, smiled and put the teacup on the tea table, looking at Chen Xiru with an unknown expression.

  "Xiao Qiang's suspicion in your heart should be dispelled now, right? Ha." Chen Xi Ru looked at Mei Wen Jie and said: "Actually, Xiao Qiang is a good kid. I searched Baidu with his name + the fifth update, it says that when looking for a man, one should look for someone like him."

  At this time, Mei Wenjie looked at Chen Xiru with a smile and said: "Director, nothing else, I'll leave."

  He finished speaking, put the teacup on the tea table, stood up and walked out.

  "You'll be embarrassed if I say two more sentences."

  Chen Xiru looked at Mei Wenjie walking out and a happy smile appeared on his face, as if he had accomplished something that made him extremely delighted.

  In the corridor of the Military Intelligence Bureau, Liu Shijiang had just picked up his bag and walked out of his office door. Mei Wenjie also came out of his own office.

  "Liu Mi, I..." Mei Wenjie said with a red face, looking at Liu Shiqiang hesitantly.

  "Captain Mei, have you been drinking?" Liu Shijiang asked with a smile as he looked at Mei Wenjie.

  "Drink? There's a rule in the bureau, no drinking during work hours." Mei Wenjie said with confusion.

  "Haven't had a drink, how did your face turn red?" Liu Shijiang said with a smile.

  "When did I blush?" Mei Wenjie asked him.

  "Shi Qiang." At this time, Ma Jiping walked over from one side and looked at Liu Shi Qiang, shouting: "Get off work, let's go find a place to drink!"

  "Let's go, I'm buying." Liu Shijiang said with a smile as he looked at Ma Jiping.

  Mei Wenjie watched them for a while, then turned around and was about to walk into his office.

  "Hey, Wenjie's sister, let's go together." Maji Ping said as he watched her repairing the stove.

  Mei Wenjie listened and turned around to glance at Liu Shijiang, then turned back and walked into his own office, slamming the door shut with a "bang".

  Ma Ji Ping looked and was slightly startled. He smiled at Liu Shi Qiang and said, "Shi Qiang, how is it? I just like her little wildness."

  "You're cheap, go ahead." Liu Shijiang said and walked forward.

  Ma Ji Ping took a look at Mei Wenjie's office and smiled as he followed along.

  On the street during the day, people are coming and going, a black sedan is driving on the street.

  "Shi Qiang, have you discovered it?"

  In the car, Maji Ping sat in the front passenger seat and smiled as he asked.

  "It's been discovered, the earth has dropped its teeth." Liu Shijiang said with a smile while driving.

  "It's enough to be different from others, that's natural beauty." Ma Ji Ping smiled and said to Liu Shi Qiang.

  "Hmm." Liu Shijiang hummed a sound and drove the car forward.

  "I found out he never puts on makeup. He always wears that one military uniform. In Ruk's words, that's what you call extremely beautiful." Maji said with a calm smile.

  "Ma Ge, you've been eating too much greasy food lately, want to have a couple of bites of something light and refreshing?" Liu Shi Qiang said with a smile as he drove his car.

  "It's still you, little brother, who understands me, hehehe..." Maji Ping said with a smile.

  "Hmm, but I feel like you're always struggling in front of her, aren't you?" Liu Shijiang said with a smile.

  "Haha, you don't understand this. Look at her always mocking me, has she ever mocked others? This is called praising and blaming the seller." Ma Ji Ping looked at Liu Shi Qiang, Huang Peng selling melons - boasting and self-selling, shamelessly laughing as he spoke to Liu Shi Qiang.

  Liu Shijiang just smiled, watching him while driving his own car. But his smile contained a lot of sarcasm.

  "Haha, from now on I'll be stuck to her like glue, just waiting for her slender waist to lean into my arms... Hehehe..." He smiled, his body leaning towards Liu Shijiang who was driving the car, as if at this moment, Mei Wenjie had already tightly nestled into his embrace.

  "Alright, alright, let's get in the car." Liu Shijiang said hastily.

  "Alright, let's not talk about her anymore. Let's get down to business. With Wei Zhiping out of the way, the deputy director position in our department is now vacant."

  Ma Ji Ping looked at Liu Shi Qiang and said.

  "What's wrong?" Liu Shijiang looked at Ma Jiping with a puzzled expression and asked.

  "Ah, old brother, with your relationship with the director like this, I think this deputy director is 90% yours." Ma Ji Ping said with a smile, trying to please Liu Shi Qiang.

  Liu Shijiang listened and snorted, still driving his car, saying: "For the sake of talent, don't mention being a deputy director, even if it's a director, I won't do it."

  "Really?" Maggie asked.

  "Of course." Liu Shijiang said with a glance at Ma Jiping.

  "In our organization, if we were to rank by seniority, I should be the first. Don't mention those who are younger than me, they can't even compare to my level of experience."

  "Haha, you should have said so earlier! You're just the deputy director, aren't you? No problem, little brother supports you." Liu Shijiang said with a smile.

  "Brother has been waiting for you to say this. From now on, please mention a few good words about me in front of Director Liu." Ma Ji Ping said with a smile.

  "It's not that troublesome, I'll just mention it to Uncle Chen later and this deputy director position is yours." Liu Shijiang said with a smile.

  "Hey, it's best to beat around the bush. Don't let Director Chen notice that I'm the one who told you to do this." Maji Ping said with a comprehensive glance at Liu Shiqiang.

  "Troublesome indeed. But let me tell you, in our bureau, there's more than just you eyeing the deputy director position." Liu Shiqiang said to Ma Jiping.

  "Hmm, Wen Jie's sister won't. Ah, that half-man-half-woman Liang Rujie seems to be..." Ma Ji Ping said, looking at Liu Shi Qiang.

  "But let me tell you, this guy has a lot of tricks up his sleeve. Nick can't be too careful." Liu Shijiang said as he drove the car.

  Ma Ji Ping seemed to be deep in thought after hearing this...

  At this moment, Liu Shijiang suddenly shouted "Ah ya", and the car came down.

  "It's all over, it's all over, it's all over." Liu Shijiang said anxiously to Ma Jiping.

  "Did you hit someone?" Ma Ji looked at Liu Shijiang with doubt and asked.

  "I have a poker appointment with General Zhang's people tonight. I forgot to tell you. Ah, sorry about that, can't drink with you tonight." Liu Shijiang said anxiously to Ma Jiping.

  Ma Ji Ping stopped raining, thought for a moment and said: "Let's play cards, then you take me to see them. Haha haha." Ma Ji Ping smiled at Liu Shi Qiang.

  "Come on, it just so happens they're one short of three, let's go. Hey, did you bring money?" Liu Shijiang asked him.

  "Money?" Ma Ji Ping looked at Liu Shi Qiang and asked.

  "I'm telling you, they're generous when it comes to playing cards. If it's not in the tens or hundreds of thousands, they can't even get started." Liu Shijiang said as he looked at him.

  Ma Ji Ping's smiling face suddenly changed, and he rubbed the back of his head, saying: "Oh no, I have a headache. I must have caught a chill. Ow, ow, it hurts so much. Oh no, this is definitely a chill. That doesn't make sense, that... then I won't be able to go."

  Liu Shijiang seemed to be looking at him with great concern.

  He said with a frown and a bitter face.

  "Really?" Liu Shijiang looked at him with concern and asked: "We agreed to go together."

  "I'm not going," said Maji Ping.

  "Go ahead, you can take a good rest now." Liu Shijiang said as he looked at him.

  "You owe me a meal then." Maji Ping said with a smile.

  "Don't worry, wait till I win some money tonight and I'll treat you to a big meal tomorrow." Liu Shijiang said with a smile.

  "Alright." Maji Ping smiled and opened the car door to get out. Then, while closing the car door, he looked at Liu Shijiang inside the car and said with a smile: "Next time, I must win."

  "Heh heh." Liu Shijiang smiled as he drove away.
