It was already time to clock in from get off work. Qin Man still leaned on the stairwell that he had to pass from Director Zhang's office to Jiang Lian's office. At his feet were two finished cigarettes, with one still held in his hand, hesitating. Do you want some?
She watched Jiang Lian come out of Bureau Zhang, step by step, but Jiang Lian turned a blind eye.
He didn't stop even when he came closer, and he was so calm that he walked right in front of her.
"Jiang Lian."
She didn't call Captain Jiang.
Jiang Lian stopped politely and asked calmly.
"What's up?"
Qin Man couldn't help but burst out. She took out her lighter, lit the cigarette, and took a deep breath to hold back her breath.
I have never seen anyone so patient.
"Don't you have anything to explain?"
He was still pretending, "Explain what?"
Qin Man walked up to him, looked at him directly, spit out a puff of cigarette provocatively, and deliberately threw it directly in his face.
Jiang Lian did not hide and was very calm.
"why me?"
What she asked was why me, not why to save me.
Qin Man was in the orphanage before she was seventeen, and she was on lurking missions after she was nineteen. During the two years in between, she stayed at home and received special training at the Special Intelligence Department. The whole life she spent was unlike Jiang Lian.
If there is any intersection, there will be no intersection.
Even before she investigated this person, before she decided to choose you from the city bureau or the criminal investigation team, she didn’t even know what Jiang Lian’s name was.
Qin Man knew that asking him directly would lead to no results, because she had already asked him before, so she put it another way.
"A member of the special forces team accidentally ran into the explosion zone, and accidentally saved a dying man. This is called God's will. This is called coincidence. So can you tell me, a member of the special forces team did not hesitate to disobey
Order, rush into the explosion zone, find a dying person in the ruins, and drag her out from the hands of death, what is this called?"
Jiang Lian still remained silent.
Qin Man felt like he was shaking a stuffy gourd that couldn't be shaken no matter how hard he shook it. The hard body even had an attack rebound effect, and his body and mind were severely damaged.
She pinched the cigarette butt and crushed it hard on the sole of her foot, completely losing her temper.
"What is your purpose? We have never crossed paths before. How could you, a person with such a bright future, come to save my life without any hesitation?!"
"Jiang Lian, why?"
Jiang Lianyou silently answered each of her questions in his heart, but she couldn't hear him.
Yes, we have crossed paths, but you don't remember it.
Qin Man gritted his teeth, "If you dare to say that you just like me, I will beat you to death."
She has been in that environment for many years, and the hostility and viciousness she has accumulated are clearly exposed when she gets angry. Her eyes are so fierce that she almost wants to take action.
"Okay, if you want to know, I'll tell you."
"I was personally promoted by Bureau Zhang. During the Xingzhou Island operation, I was the leader of a group. In addition to encircling and suppressing the black sharks, my mission at that time was to rescue the undercover Nail, so everyone who participated in the mission was
I know your identity and have seen your photos."
"After the accidental explosion, the mission of encircling and suppressing the Black Sharks has basically failed. I was unwilling to give up this perfect opportunity and decided to rush in and rescue you. It is also a great achievement."
Jiang Lian made it so well that Qin Man was dumbfounded.
"Do you have any more questions? You can ask them all at once and I will answer them for you."
Qin Man rarely stuttered, "No...no more."
Jiang Lianzhen ignored her, took a step around her, and passed her by.
"Jiang Lian, to you, am I really a stepping stone for your future?"
The two people were facing away from each other, and no one could see clearly the face or state of the other.
Jiang Lian couldn't pretend anymore. The corners of his mouth kept trembling and his eyes wandered, but he was still so suppressed that he could barely breathe.
"Aren't you approaching me just to do what you want to do?"
He left quickly. He couldn't tell the truth now because he knew that telling the truth now wouldn't get the results he wanted.
Qin Man approached him not because she loved him.
He knows, he understands, and he accepts it calmly, but he cannot be asked to open his heart and show it to others at this time.
The last words he said angrily were his only emotional words so far.
Qin Man successfully tore off his hypocritical shell and revealed his hidden heart.
On the way home, Qin Man didn't use any transportation. The fifteen-minute drive from the city bureau to his residence ended up taking an hour.
It's not that she likes walking, it's just that she wants to see more of this noisy and bustling city.
The house was arranged by Xu Jinfeng. Anyway, after she came back, her food, clothing, housing and transportation all depended on the support of the Special Intelligence Department. Even this job was done in Xu Jinfeng's favor.
Otherwise, with her mediocre skills, it would have been good if she didn't do any harm.
The conversation with Jiang Lian was not a quarrel. She didn't bother to quarrel with her at all.
She was just thinking that if she left the city bureau and the criminal investigation team, who else would accept her.
There is no way to go back to the Special Intelligence Department. If she is thick-skinned enough, it would be okay to let Xu Jinfeng keep a free person all the time, but she is not someone who can sit back and enjoy life peacefully.
Seeing Jiang Lian doing things in the past two days, he was already exhausted, but he still patiently accompanied her to fool around. It seemed that he really wanted her to stay, and he would fly with him no matter how stupid he was.
She kicked away an obstructing stone.
"Good old man, I hate good old men the most!"
She knelt down to tie her shoelaces, but the moment she turned sideways, she caught a glimpse of a shadow like a frightened bird, and quickly hid in the wall.
Although his actions were timely and swift, he could not escape Qin Man's eyes.
She immediately became alert, tied her shoelaces slowly, then got up and continued walking forward.
Sure enough, the man appeared again, keeping a safe distance, mixed in with the crowd, and followed her quietly.
Qin Man watched as a hip-hop young man looking down at his cell phone and wearing a headset walked towards her, shaking his head. He bumped into her head-on with his shoulder, knocking the cell phone out of his hand.
"My new mobile phone! Don't you watch the road?"
Qin Man apologized repeatedly, squatted down to pick it up, and looked back, and sure enough, the shadow was gone again.
"I'm sorry, look, it wasn't broken."
There is really nothing wrong with the hip-hop young man looking at his baby's mobile phone, so forget it. A little farce ended just as it started.
But when that person emerged from his hiding place, Qin Man could not be found in the street. He took two steps and stood at the place where Qin Man was just now. He looked around furtively and failed to find his target.
No longer persisting, he jogged forward again to look for her traces.
Behind the half-glass door of the roadside canteen, there were long strings of colorful lollipops hanging on the shelf. Umbrellas were on the shelves underneath, blocking the glass door tightly. Qin Man pinched every taste, as if he was in the taste.
Undecided.
But in fact, she raised her fingers slightly and peered through the gap in the lollipop, taking in the entire scene.
Qin Man's back molar felt itchy, then he pulled off a bunch of lollipops and stuffed them into his mouth.
