City of Sin (Second Emotional Burden)

  "Are you still in the mood to work after buying so many toys?" Yu Fei said this, Wen Qian thought it was just a casual complaint, but Xu Huaiqing understood what he meant. He also had his own difficulties, and that's why he took the risk of doing illegal business, because he wanted to buy an airplane. He hoped to have a private helicopter and also wanted to buy a jet plane, the ones he liked didn't come cheap.

  "Of course, I haven't bought my favorite one yet. I still want to travel around the world in my own private plane without disturbing you all. I'm going back now." Xu Huaiqing put on his diving suit, diving goggles and breathing apparatus again and returned to the sea. He swam to his sailboat and operated it to leave the coast.

  "Sailing is also fun, I wish I had one." Wen Qian only has an off-road vehicle, she finally saw how others played, Yu Fei reminded; "They are professional players, you are a police officer, it's different, I also want to have my own luxury yacht, but need to finish all the work and take off that uniform first."

  "Never mind, let's fly back. I want to try flying with a hang glider again." Wen Qian started operating the parachute equipment and took off. Yu Fei said: "Can't we not play these things? Why don't we find a place to sit for a while? That hotel last time was pretty good, there weren't many people every day, want to go?"

  As soon as Wen Qian heard that she was going to be treated, she didn't plan to continue playing outdoor sports. For an ordinary police officer with average income like her, eating at a luxury hotel is already a very luxurious thing in itself. If she were to go there often, she would definitely be investigated for the source of her income. Someone treating her is even better, anyway it's not equivalent to accepting bribes, such good opportunities are rare.

  It wasn't easy for Yu Fei to finally not have to go wild with her outside, but the cost was also not small. The restaurant in the five-star hotel was expensive, fortunately he had some savings of his own, he didn't dare spend the new money he got, the stolen money that hadn't been recovered couldn't be used, and the money from the criminal's account couldn't be used either. He could only use the money he brought back when he was a mercenary, but all these kinds of money were about the same, anyway they couldn't see the light of day.

  When spending money, Yu Fei didn't want to feel too uncomfortable, so he let Wen Qian order whatever she wanted. He just ordered a bottle of wine and thought that if he felt depressed, he could drink a few mouthfuls. The two sat at the dinner table eating and chatting. Wen Qian had been wanting to ask him a question since the first time they met, but there was no chance during casual conversations. Now it seemed like the last time - he got drunk again, so even if he said something, it might not be true. Wen Qian held her knife and fork, eating dishes she had never heard of before, and asked tentatively, "It seems like you don't have much to do when you're on break. Why don't you spend time with your family?"

  "Family? I don't have any family, my parents are already gone. Wherever I go is our home. If one person eats well, the whole family won't be hungry. Having a family is too much trouble, what if the thieves take revenge on my family when I catch them? It's better to be alone in this profession." Yu Fei said while drinking wine, he also wants to have a family, but the price to pay is even greater, really want to find a wife and spend money to protect her, that would make Wu Junwen happy, he can do another business deal.

  "So you don't have a girlfriend either?" Wen Qian asked boldly.

  "There were no girls in the military academy, and I didn't have a fixed place to live before, so I was drifting around looking for a girlfriend." Yu Fei replied to the question without being numb, he seemed to have sensed that Wen Qian might have plans to be his girlfriend in the future, she could see him at work anytime, and after work, he also needed to see her, at least she was familiar with the local area and helpful to him.

  "Didn't you have a girlfriend when you were in school?" She felt that the more she asked, the more curious she became, and there were always many things she didn't know. Yu Fei downed his glass of wine in one gulp, "When I was in school, I only remembered a few things: exams that I didn't pass, teachers wanting to talk to my parents, the school possibly expelling me, homework that I hadn't finished because I simply couldn't do it, and people who wanted to beat me up - I either dodged them or fought with them. I was so busy, my feet barely touched the ground."

  It's clear that he wasn't a good student, so how did he end up maintaining justice and catching thieves? Wen Qian's confusion grew even more. She sipped her champagne and asked, "How was it like before? Why didn't you find one?" Yu Fei laughed when he heard this and expressed his concerns, "Every day I'm doing things that offend people. Who doesn't have a few friends or relatives? The more cases I handle, the more people I offend. If I really found a girlfriend, my salary wouldn't even be enough to hire her a bodyguard! Professional bodyguards are very expensive, their wages are higher than mine, I simply can't afford such a huge expense."

  It seems that this profession is done well, and Wen Qian also carefully considers whether she can bear such pressure. Is she a person who needs protection? Many people rely on police protection, do they need to have bodyguards follow them home after work, and have bodyguards stand guard outside the door? What she does is not offending people, she doesn't want to wear uniforms and do nothing, thinking of being his girlfriend seems to be worth careful consideration. However, she quickly suggested: "You can find someone who can protect yourself, you don't need to hire a bodyguard."

  "That's not possible, wearing bulletproof vests and carrying guns every day is not a normal life, who would want to suffer like that?" Yu Fei chatted casually but still felt a bit depressed, took out his phone to watch TV shows, but after seeing the news, he didn't plan to stay in the hotel anymore. The TV show on his phone was a live news broadcast, and it seemed that there was a problem with the local federal prison managed by the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Smoke and fire were rising from the prison, something had definitely happened, the host said that a riot had broken out in the prison.

  "What are you looking at? You can watch TV on your phone." Wen Qian was about to take out her own phone, but it rang ahead of time. She looked at the number and saw that it was from the police station. As soon as she picked up, the duty officer said: "There's been an incident at the prison. The director has ordered each branch to dispatch police officers to the location of the prison. Police officers who are currently on vacation must return to the bureau immediately."

  "Got it." Wen Qian hung up the phone with an unhappy face, she was busy with her own things and suddenly had another task. Yu Fei calmly said: "The prison is not under your branch's jurisdiction, you don't need to rush back, even if there are any problems, I'll send someone over. This good opportunity for merit I won't give up, slowly finish eating before leaving."

  Wen Qian nodded and continued eating, while Yu Fei picked up the phone to call Wen Yong in the barracks. "Turn on the TV and watch the local news channel, have you seen it? There's a riot at the prison, I hope you can bring the whole squad there for reinforcement, don't leave anyone behind in the barracks. Tell Wu Junwen that he's in charge of the safety of the barracks, just lock the doors and let his people help keep watch. This is our chance to be on TV! After you arrive, seal off the prison and don't let anyone escape. Wait for the police department's special task force to go in, if their operation fails, we'll prepare to take action. Bring enough ammunition, especially tear gas."

  "I know, it's just a matter of time." Wen Yong hung up the phone and sounded the battle alarm. He also ordered the soldiers on duty to gather with full combat equipment through the intercom. Wu Junwen also received the news. The prison he was in charge of was next to the barracks, so he only needed to send a few more people to wait outside the barracks for the military police to return. The military police didn't need to waste their troops guarding the place, as there were security companies that could mobilize all combat personnel to execute tasks.

  Yu Fei sped up eating in the hotel, but he didn't finish the whole bottle of wine. After putting the cap back on, he said: "This bottle of wine is very expensive, just put it in your own car. You can drive me to your bureau and then I'll decide whether to go with you or not. It's okay if there's a police car, my soldiers won't have to take a detour and waste time picking me up, they can arrive at the prison entrance earlier to stand guard."

  "Let's go." Wen Qian calculated the time in her heart, estimating that by the time they finished eating, Huang Bing would have arrived, and she didn't need to rush. With Yu Fei and his group of police officers around, things would become easier in this city. Yu Fei took out his credit card to pay the bill, then got into Wen Qian's car and left.

  "You have money to treat people at a hotel, why don't you buy a car? That way, when you're resting, you can go out and take a drive." Wen Qian drove the car towards the bureau, Yu Fei nodded: "I also want to buy a car, but it's too expensive for me to afford. However, I like it very much. I can afford cheap second-hand cars, but I don't like them. It seems that even when I'm resting, I have things to do. Maybe it's better not to have a car, so I can just ride in yours."

  "I'm not always free to let you drive my car, what if I have a date and you're driving whose car?" Wen Qian turned the topic back around. Yu Fei said: "That doesn't affect me, you can drive me there too, I won't let your date see me, then I'll observe from the side, after the date is over I can give you some useful opinions, this way it won't affect you and will be beneficial to you, I can be your personal emotional consultant."

  "I don't need you as an advisor, you've never been in a relationship." Wen Qian was very dissatisfied with his response. Yu Fei had a strong ability to observe and listen, he didn't want to directly say that he wanted to go on a date with her, but after saying what he did earlier, he found that Wen Qian seemed unhappy, so he said: "Although I've never been in a relationship, I've read many books, watched many TV dramas and movies. The romance novels I've read aren't any less than yours. I'm not just reading stories, I'm learning from experience. Experience is very important. And even though I've never caught a thief or solved a case, didn't I still do it?"

  "You're so capable, why not just find someone who can use a gun to protect themselves? It's fine, right?" Wen Qian knew he was going on a mission and if the prison riot dragged on for a few more days, she wouldn't have another chance to be alone with him. So she directly told him, "What about me? I know how to drive and use a gun, and I even have my own bulletproof vest. Consider it."

  "You? Let me think, dating is a waste of time and money. If it doesn't work out, my youth will be wasted, that's losing both people and wealth. However, looking at your personal abilities, they're not bad, so for now, just consider yourself my girlfriend. When we encounter some danger, that'll be the test. If we pass, then it's official. I'm being serious, I'm not joking with you." Yu Fei knew he couldn't always be alone, and he also wanted to find a girlfriend, but didn't know if it would work out.: City of Guilt
