Hearing Wu Gang and the others call her sister-in-law, Shen Yao panicked a little, and her face blushed under the dim light. Luckily, Xu Cheng and the others couldn't see clearly under the dim light, so Shen Yao quickly picked up the beer bottle and poured herself a glass.
Ran Jing glanced at her and asked, "Aren't we going to drink from the bottle?"
She could have done it just now, but now that there were so many people around, Shen Yao was a bit more reserved. Hearing Ran Jing's teasing words, she passed the bottle over and countered, "Why don't you show me?"
Ran Jing rolled her eyes at her, and then she pulled her up and was about to leave.
Shen Yao was confused. Why did they have to leave all of a sudden? She also knew that she should give Xu Cheng a chance to talk to his subordinates, but she also wanted to use this opportunity to improve her impression in Xu Cheng's circle of friends. Didn't they just call her 'sister-in-law'? At this time, she should play dumb and try to warm up the relationship a bit. Sometimes, if the relationship between two people was passive, then external factors would be needed to break the balance.
A while ago, Xu Cheng said that he had someone he liked, and to be honest, Shen Yao was really disappointed. She also thought about killing the relationship, but sometimes, feelings were just like that. Maybe it was the first time that Shen Yao took the initiative to fall in love with a man, and it was a very strange feeling. In the past two days, she went out to have fun, but no matter what she did or what she did, she would always think of a certain figure. Sometimes, when she came home and didn't see Xu Cheng, she would always feel like something was missing. In fact, Shen Yao knew that this was the ferment of her feelings. At least, it wasn't something that could be easily forgotten. Plus, now that Xu Cheng's subordinates called her sister-in-law, for some reason, she didn't feel repulsed by it. In fact, she even felt a sense of joy in her heart. So, Shen Yao didn't want to break this feeling and atmosphere, so she just left.
"It's fine, we said tonight is for me to celebrate, so why are you guys not here?" Xu Cheng signaled the two girls to stay.
"Yeah, how can the most important person not be here during a celebration?" Li Chao laughed and said.
His words made Shen Yao's heart flutter. Seeing her shyly raise her glass and pretend to drink, Xu Cheng awkwardly coughed and said, "Don't say that. Let me introduce you guys, this is Captain Ran from Team 5, and this is my friend, Shen Yao."
Everyone teased, "Just friends?"
Xu Cheng nodded and bitterly smiled. "We're just friends, don't get the wrong idea. Whoever tried to sow discord between us, I'm going to beat them up. Look at you guys making her feel uncomfortable."
Wu Gang chuckled and said, "There's no such thing as pure friendship between men and women. I understand, we all understand."
Xu Cheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Okay, let's drink. Let me assign the tasks. Li Chao, you and Wu Gang will split into two groups of five. Li Chao, you will be responsible for collecting the revenue data of the West Gate Casino, and if necessary, you can go to the tax bureau."
Li Chao nodded: "Yes."
Xu Cheng then looked at Wu Gang and said in a serious tone, "Wu Gang, your task is a bit more important, and the people you're responsible for keeping an eye on might be a bit sensitive. You're responsible for keeping an eye on the legal representatives of the casino. Pay attention to their daily movements and who they associate with."
Shen Yao looked at Xu Cheng and asked, "Will it be dangerous?"
Xu Cheng smiled. "No, I told him to follow us in the open, purposely letting those people know that our Team 2 is weak and doesn't care about us. That way, they won't mess around, and it's very safe."
Wu Gang gritted his teeth and said, "Boss, it's fine. In this line of work, if you're afraid of death, you won't just stay here. Our targets are criminals, and we need to be prepared for the worst. "
"I know. Other than protecting you guys, I have my own reasons for asking you to follow us in the open." Xu Cheng patted his shoulder and said, "Five casinos just happen to have five legal representatives. Each of you will be responsible for keeping an eye on one, and if necessary, you can use private investigators."
Ran Jing glared at him. "Are you stupid? Most private investigators only work for the rich and powerful, and the police will only work for them. "
Xu Cheng smiled. "It's fine, we don't have enough people in our department, so we have no choice but to find our own private investigators."
In fact, he had his own intentions. It was true that it was easy for private investigators to go back on their word, but he wanted West Gate to feel like they were dealing with a bunch of rookies and let their guard down.
Only when they let their guard down would Li Chao and the others be safe, and those people wouldn't risk their lives for these stupid police officers. Xu Cheng wanted this relaxed atmosphere to numb the other side.
But in Ran Jing's eyes, she simply couldn't stand it anymore.
"What are you still investigating?"
Even Wu Gang, Li Chao, and the others were confused. "Yeah, Boss, something this serious needs to be kept a secret to avoid alerting the enemy. You …"
Xu Cheng waved his finger. "No, I have my own plans."
If Wu Gang and the others were still in the same state they were in this morning, they would have immediately turned into trolls and cursed at him. How could they treat such an important operation and case as a joke?
Xu Cheng didn't say anything else about the case and just simply assigned tasks to the 10 people. Then, in order to not let Shen Yao and the others be left out, he started to drink and brag.
Wu Gang and Li Chao went back and wrote a report on the operation plan and submitted it. In the end, they didn't know how the other teams found out about it, but when they saw Team 2 in the cafeteria, they all started laughing and whispering to each other.
Wu Gang was sitting in the cafeteria eating, and Li Chao could only grit his teeth and eat one bite at a time.
"Can he really be trusted?" the other team members immediately asked in confusion.
Wu Gang said, "Believe it or not, we are all in the same boat now. Remember, no matter if it's wrong or not, we will only know after we row to the end."
When Xu Cheng came to the cafeteria to get his food, the captain of Team 7 was standing beside him, picking up the leftovers, and when he saw Xu Cheng, he couldn't help but laugh. "Captain Xu, that plan was written by you? You really made me laugh to death. "
"It won't affect your meal, right?" Xu Cheng raised his eyebrows and said with a fake smile, "I told my subordinates to write up the report."
"Are you serious? Such a big case and you actually dare to tell them that you are going to investigate it? Hahahaha, I can't take it anymore, I'm having cramps from eating. You might as well just go to the West Gate casino and tell them, 'Hurry up and plead guilty, don't let me investigate you guys'. "
With him taking the lead in laughing, everyone in the cafeteria immediately burst into laughter.
Xu Cheng looked around at all his colleagues who were laughing at him. He wasn't angry, it was normal for newcomers to be looked down upon or bullied for making mistakes. This was the most basic jealousy that existed in everyone's heart. He just faintly smiled at the captain of Team 7 and said, "Captain Mao, what do you think about my plan?"
"Sure." The captain of Team 7's face was red from laughing. "If it's not, then how can we pass? I think only you, Captain Xu, can come up with such a plan. "
"Hahahaha …"
Everyone in the cafeteria was laughing.
