Four Seasons Genting District.
This was a high-end residential area with a beautiful environment and a high rate of greenery. All the houses were low-rise garden houses.
Wang Ting parked the car in the parking lot outside and walked into the community with a red bag on her back. She would greet her familiar neighbors.
There were a total of eight buildings in the community. Wang Ting's family lived on the seventh floor of Building 7. It was the top floor, with three bedrooms and a balcony of more than 20 square meters. It was very comfortable to plant flowers and raise birds.
Wang Ting opened the door to Room 701 and saw her mother sitting on the sofa in the living room, cutting vegetables. The TV in front of her was still playing a drama.
Wang Ting's mother's name was Song Min. She looked to be in her forties and was quite pretty. Her eyebrows were somewhat similar to Wang Ting's, but she was slightly shorter than Wang Ting. "You're back."
Wang Ting put down her purse and took off her coat. "Mom, why did you call me back?"
"What are you talking about? This isn't your home. Can't you come back for dinner if you have nothing to do?"
Wang Ting smiled and said, "You're right. This is my home, so I'll take it that you're fine. Don't order me around later."
Wang Ting's mother harrumphed, "You little girl, you're still playing tricks on me."
Wang Ting washed up and returned to the living room. "Where's Old Wang?"
"He's here. Our big baby is back. I haven't seen him for a few days. Did you miss dad?" A man in his fifties walked out of the bedroom. His name was Wang Yan, and he was Wang Ting's father.
"A few days? Didn't I just leave the day before yesterday? Dad, where are you going dressed so neatly?"
"I have something to do. Don't wait for me for lunch. You guys can eat by yourselves," Wang Yan said and left in a hurry.
"Mom, where did my dad go? I just came back and he left. I haven't even said a few words."
Song Min said indifferently, "Let's go. Let's have lunch together and save a pair of chopsticks."
"Did you know that my dad was going out to eat and didn't want to eat alone, so you called me back?"
"I'm not that bored. I can't wait to be alone." Song Min changed the topic. "By the way, didn't you say you were going to bring your boyfriend home this Sunday? What should we prepare? Do you want to eat at home or go out to a better restaurant? "
"Just eat at home. I just want to pay you a visit and get to know the place."
"What flavor does he like to eat? Mom will prepare it in advance."
"Mom, there's no need to make such a big fuss. Just home-cooked food will do."
"Look at what you're saying. It's his first time coming to our house. You can't be too perfunctory." Song Min thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we call your aunt's family over? Isn't he and Qianqian's colleagues?"
"Mom, you really don't have to go through so much trouble. We're a family. Don't you know Qianqian's big mouth? If she goes around talking about it, what if it affects Han Bin's work?"
Song Min pursed her lips. "Look, we haven't even done anything and you're already siding with an outsider."
"I didn't." Wang Ting snorted, expressing her dissatisfaction. Then, she changed the topic. "Oh yeah, what's my dad doing in the afternoon? Is he drinking with someone else?"
…
Wang Ting had guessed half of it correctly. Wang Yan was indeed looking for someone to eat, and the person he invited was a friend from the Public Security Bureau.
Near the Public Security Bureau.
Jingyun Restaurant.
In a private room on the second floor, Wang Yan and a man sat facing each other.
This man was called Kong Xingchang. He was the deputy captain of the Economic Investigation Team of the Public Security Bureau and was friends with Wang Yan.
Wang Yan picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Kong Xingchang. "Captain Kong, we haven't seen each other in a long time. I was about to treat you to a few drinks tonight."
Kong Xingchang waved his hand. "Chief Wang, we're old friends, so I won't hide it from you. A few days ago, I failed a few of my physical examinations. Now, I eat lighter food at night. I have a bowl of porridge and some vegetables. I don't even eat meat, let alone alcohol. I can only satisfy my cravings at noon. "
"It's the same. I don't drink much now. Let's have tea instead of alcohol. Take a look at the menu and order whatever you want. I won't drink any alcohol, but I want enough meat. "
Kong Xingchang and Wang Yan had known each other for many years, so he didn't act pretentious. He ordered two of his favorite dishes. "Alright, that's enough. We'll see if it's not enough."
The waiter confirmed the menu and left.
Kong Xingchang laughed. "Chief Wang, you're such a busy man. Why do you have time to treat me to dinner today?"
"It's been a while since we last met. It's a good time to catch up. Also, I want to ask you something."
Kong Xingchang knew this was the main topic. He put down his teacup. "What is it?"
"To be exact, I want to ask you about someone. There's a person called Han Bin in your Public Security Bureau. Do you know him? "
"Han Bin." Kong Xingchang muttered. "Are you talking about the City's Criminal Investigation Team's Han Bin?"
"Yes, yes. I think he's the Deputy Squadron Leader of the City's Criminal Investigation Team's Second Squadron."
"I know him, but I don't have much contact with him. Two days ago, I heard that he is no longer the Deputy Squadron Leader. "
Wang Yan frowned. "What's wrong? Did he make a mistake? "
"Nope. He has been promoted again. He is now the acting Squadron Leader of Second Squadron. "
Wang Yan was stunned. "When did this happen? I heard that he was still the Deputy Squadron Leader a few days ago."
"That's right. It happened two days ago." Kong Xingchang asked. "Chief Wang, why are you asking about Captain Han? Did something happen to your family?"
"No, no." Wang Yan hesitated for a while and said. "I have a daughter, and they are friends. In two days, they will visit my house. I want to know more about them. Parents are all blind."
Wang Yan only has one daughter, and he always wants to know more about Han Bin through his own channels.
Kong Xingchang slammed the table. "Oh, so this is the reason. Why didn't you tell me earlier? I thought you wanted to ask him to do something. The City's Criminal Investigation Team is not as easy to talk to as we are. "
"Captain Kong, I'm sorry."
"What's there to laugh about? Parents are all the same. I have a son and a daughter, and they are more troublesome than you."
"There are so many people who are envious of your twins."
Kong Xingchang shook his head and smiled bitterly. "Everyone says having a son and a daughter is good, but it's just for outsiders to see. Only you know if it's troublesome or not."
Wang Yan returned to the topic at hand. "Captain Kong, what do you think of this Han Bin?"
"He's good. This young man is talented, and he became a squadron leader in his twenties. I heard that the leaders of the Criminal Investigation Team think highly of him. He has a bright future ahead of him."
Although Wang Yan was not in the police system, he had been doing business for so many years. He knew that someone who could become a squadron leader in his twenties was not a simple man. "You said that many leaders think highly of him. Does he have any connections?"
Kong Xingchang thought for a while. "I don't know much about him, but I heard that his father is also a police officer. He is a police officer in the Xin Hua district. He must have some connections. But it's mainly about his personal ability. After all, his rank is about the same as his father, and his position is even more important than the police officer. Even if his father wants to, he can't do much. "
Wang Yan nodded. This Han Bin was outstanding, and he had exceeded his expectations.
Kong Xingchang raised his teacup. "Chief Wang, let me toast you with tea in place of wine. Congratulations on finding a good son-in-law."
Wang Yan raised his teapot. "This matter is not settled yet. I'm just helping to keep an eye on him. The children still have to depend on themselves."
"That's right. Kids these days have their own ideas. I wanted my son to enter the police academy, but he didn't want to. No matter what I said, it was useless. When I asked him why he didn't want to, he said he didn't like it. He felt that being a police officer was too hard, and he wanted to do something different. In the end, he went to learn how to draw, and he said he wanted to be an artist. "Kong Xingchang sighed.
"On the other hand, my daughter entered the police academy. She's following my old path. I've thought it through. Children have their own fortune. I'll raise them and let them finish university. As for the future, I'll help them as much as I can. It's all up to them now. "
Wang Yan was in a good mood. He knew that his daughter's boyfriend was capable, and he felt proud.
However, he had heard about Han Bin's promotion from an outsider. This made him grumble at his daughter. Why didn't she tell him in advance?
