Staying late at night

At four o'clock in the morning, in Xincheng District, a somewhat shabby old Jetta was driving on a deserted street.

On the streets late at night, only the dim street lights on both sides of the road can bring a glimmer of light to the dark and deep road.

The windows of the old Jetta's cab were wide open. Li Jun was holding the steering wheel with one leg, frowning, letting the cold wind hit his face wantonly.

What the pretty policewoman said just now made him feel very uneasy...

"Chaoyang High School..."

"Is there something like that there?"

At this time, Li Jun's face was full of fatigue, but his deep eyes were still bright.

With the sound of brakes, the Jetta stopped in Donglai. Li Jun habitually took a cigarette and opened the door.

He arrived at the destination of his trip - open late at night.

Its signboard is shining with dark blue neon lights, which is very conspicuous in the dark building complex.

It is a 24-hour bar.

Li Jun pushed open an old European-style wooden door and walked straight in.

As soon as you enter, a dark and empty hall of more than 100 square meters comes into view.

In the hall, only the bar counter was lit with a faint blue light.

A young man in his twenties stood quietly at the bar.

He held a transparent goblet with his left leg, and a light red rag with his right leg, gently wiping it...

He has an outstanding appearance, with a tall figure and a red complexion.

The young man noticed Li Jun, but without raising his head, he spoke softly.

"I'm here again, for the third time that week..."

Li Jun showed a wry smile and walked slowly to the bar.

"Won't you buy him a drink?"

The young man put the goblet he was wiping in his lap on the bar counter, gently pushed it in front of Li Jun, and poured him another glass of wine.

Li Jun took a sip...

The strong alcohol in his stomach dissipated some of the coolness in his body.

"That month...that kind of case! There have been two cases!"

Li Jun frowned slightly and said slowly.

"If Chaoyang High School doesn't do the same...it will be the third one!"

He added in his mind.

The young man took out another goblet from the counter and wiped it gently without making a sound...

Li Jun leaned forward and said solemnly.

"Ruan Zhen, Rencheng needs me!"

After hearing those words, the young man slowly raised his head, revealing a pair of weather-beaten eyes that were inconsistent with his age on the east side of his forehead, which was blocked by his bangs.

Ruan Zhen looked at Li Jun with deep meaning.

"He rejected me twice that week, and in that month he rejected me nine times!"

"Am I ignorant? He joined us by mistake and has no interest whatsoever!"

Sensing some impatience in Ruan Zhen's words, Li Jun even opened his mouth to explain.

"No, let me join them. I can be completely independent! He can even give up his position to me if I want!"

"No one will mistake me for giving instructions. The only thing I need to do is get rid of those things! Go save people!"

Ruan Zhen let out a "puff" and chuckled.

"He is quite relaxed and at ease by himself now, so why should he cause trouble for himself?"

Li Jun's face showed deep tiredness and he let out a long sigh.

"Those two cases! Thirteen people died! That's not thirteen lives!"

"There are thirteen...broken families..."

Ruan Zhen's face showed a playful smile.

"In that world, countless people die every day. Thirteen people...is that a lot?"

Li Jun suddenly looked at Ruan Zhen solemnly and said decisively.

"Save one! Just live!"

Ruan Zhenlian smiled and waved his legs.

"Don't! Don't! Don't use my tricks to brainwash him!"

"He is just an ordinary citizen and has no intention of becoming a Holy Mother!"

A trace of disappointment flashed in Li Jun's eyes, and he asked helplessly.

"Then... why did I save him?"

Ruan Zhen poured himself a glass of wine, took a sip, and then said.

"Just do it, he's not that cold-blooded. If a living person is in front of him, he can't just watch him die..."

Li Jun raised his glass, took a deep drink, and sighed.

"So...do I just do it casually? If I see it, I'll take care of it. If I don't see it, forget it."

Ruan Zhen was stunned for a moment, and after taking a few breaths, he nodded slightly.

"I guess so."

Completely understanding what Ruan Zhen meant, Li Jun raised his glass and drank it down in one gulp. He stood up and bowed deeply to Ruan Zhen solemnly.

"Tomorrow...please, by chance, I met people in crisis. I hope I can lend a helping hand!"

"He represents the three million ordinary people in Rencheng! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!"

Seeing Li Jun's face in front of him, which didn't look fake at all, Ruan Zhen's face showed a moment of struggle unconsciously, but it quickly faded away.

"Why...why on earth do I want to go to that point?"

"Is it just because... I'm not a good police officer?"

Li Jun's eyes were deep and he slowly looked into the distance, as if he thought of some scenes...

After a long time, he showed a faint smile.

"Maybe because of...an agreement!"

"A promise to be kept until death!"

After a slight pause, Li Jun said again with a smile.

"Thanks for the wine! He won't bother me again."

After saying that, Li Jun turned around and left.

Ruan Zhen looked at Li Jun's back silently...

Watching him go further and further away...

Watch him open the door... and walk out of the bar...

"Captain Li...is he really a good policeman..."

A faint female voice suddenly sounded.

Ruan Zhen turned his head and looked at the girl "floating" in front of him.

The girl's appearance is very delicate and simple, she is in her twenties, as young as a flower.

But no, at this moment, she was floating in mid-air.

She would be a wandering spirit!

Ruan Zhen looked at the girl in front of him and smiled softly, as warm as the sun.

"No, he knows, otherwise he wouldn't invite him to drink."

The girl smiled sweetly, gently stretched out her cold legs, and held Ruan Zhen's cheek.

"He is very bright. In fact, I really want to save more people, because I am not the exorcist Ruan Zhen!"

"I am not the end of the world! The gentlest...the kindest person..."

Ruan Zhen stretched out his leg, held the girl's cold leg tightly, and smiled playfully.

"Then I was wrong. Now he is the most selfish man in the world. He just wants to selfishly keep me by his side forever..."

Hearing Ruan Zhen's affectionate words, the girl smiled sweetly, then slowly hugged Ruan Zhen and said quietly.

"Ah Zhen...I must have worked very hard..."

"Staying by his side like that..."

"Protect him every step of the way..."

"It must be very hard..."
