At the border between China and Myanmar.
The Mekong River flowed rapidly, and both sides of the river were covered by a dense green forest.
On the winding mountain road, a military off-road vehicle suddenly stopped, and several armed soldiers jumped out of the vehicle and rushed into the forest. A moment later, they surrounded a hillside.
The branches swayed, and a woman stumbled out of the forest with her head in her hands. Her clothes were tattered and her face was pale after days of running. A soldier grabbed her long hair, and another soldier hit her waist with the butt of his gun. The woman screamed and fell to her knees.
"Inform the China police." An officer said in Burmese, "'Brother Lu' has been caught, ask them …"
"Bang." A faint but clear sound pierced through the air.
The officer's words stopped abruptly, and a bullet hole appeared between his dark eyebrows. His expression instantly froze. The soldiers around him watched in horror as he fell to the ground.
"There's an ambush! Be careful! "The soldiers exclaimed one after another.
In response to them, a burst of machine gun fire came from outside the forest. A moment later, the forest was filled with dust and fallen leaves, and the soldiers fell to the ground in a bloody mess.
Brother Lu's whole body was crouched on the ground, and her body was shaking like a sieve. It was not until everything was quiet again that she looked up in fear. Under the bright sunlight outside the forest, a few off-road vehicles were parked on the side of the road. Several men stood on the roof of the vehicles with guns on their shoulders, and they all had indifferent and numb smiles on their faces. The door of one of the vehicles was slowly opening toward her.
Brother Lu stood up from the ground, and a smile slowly appeared on her face.
The heavily armed convoy sped along the forest road at high speed. On the front of the car, the flag of the Myanmar Karakan Independent Army fluttered in the wind.
Brother Lu knelt in the middle car and lowered her head to kiss the man's shoe.
This was a very tall and strong man wearing a dark gray camouflage military uniform. On his bronze-colored face, he had a pair of fierce eyes like an eagle's, and dark red scars. He grabbed Brother Lu and held her in his arms. He stared at her and whispered in Burmese, "You're my woman, no one can kill you."
Brother Lu nodded and replied in choppy Burmese, "I'll help you sell more people to Southeast Asia and earn more money."
As soon as she finished speaking, their lips were already kissing.
Thousands of kilometers away in Lin City, the sun was quiet and the summer wind was gentle. It was a completely different world compared to the blazing heat of the tropics.
As soon as they arrived in the city, Ji Bai received a call from the director, who ordered him to go directly to the provincial public security department to attend the director's meeting.
At the meeting, Ji Bai reported the results of the arrest operation. The deputy director, who was in charge of public relations, said, "According to reliable sources, Brother Lu has probably fled into Myanmar. We've already contacted Myanmar through the China-Myanmar Joint Crime Fighting Office. We'll capture Brother Lu as soon as possible and hand her over to us. "
Another deputy director in charge of criminal investigation frowned and said, "I heard that the situation in northern Myanmar has been quite chaotic recently. I hope the arrest operation can be effective."
After the meeting, Director Liu said to the bureau chief, "Old classmate, please come to my office with Little Ji for a chat."
After drinking Director Liu's private collection of green tea, the bureau chief turned to Ji Bai with a smile and said, "Let me tell you, it's rare for me to drink her tea. She's usually making things difficult for me by being so polite."
Both Director Liu and Ji Bai laughed out loud.
Director Liu said sincerely, "To be honest, you have a girl named Xu Xu who I admire and want to transfer to the provincial public security department."
Ji Bai's hand holding the teacup paused and he looked up at Director Liu.
The Director smiled. "Xu Xu and Yao Meng are talents specially introduced by our department. I even invited the director of the hospital to a meal. If you take them away, I won't have a complete team. "
Director Liu said, "Brother, I'm thinking about the big picture. I also have a talented student who studies criminal psychology. His name is Yang Qinglin, and he's Xu Xu's senior. If Xu Xu comes, I want them to set up a criminal psychology research room. It's very important to improve the level of criminal investigation in the province. I've asked the director and he has no objections. "
The Director said, "Okay, I agree in principle. However, Ji Bai is in charge of criminal investigation, so we still need to listen to him. "
Ji Bai smiled. "Director Liu's idea is very valuable. However, Xu Xu is stubborn and has a deep relationship with the Lin City police force. How about this, I'll go back and do some thinking for her. "
Director Liu waved her hand. "You don't need to do that! Do you think I don't know what you're thinking? Maybe the young lady was originally willing, but after you do your work, she won't be willing anymore. " He smiled. "Since both of you agree in principle, then let's wait for Xu Xu's opinion. I've already sent someone to do her work."
In the afternoon, Ji Bai stayed at the cafeteria of the provincial hall to eat.
It was not entirely out of selfishness that he did not want Xu Xu to go to the provincial hall. Objectively speaking, Xu Xu had too little actual combat experience. If she left the frontline early and returned to research, it might not be good for her long-term development.
Moreover, their relationship had not been confirmed yet. What kind of place was the provincial hall? A considerable number of young men who had just graduated from the police academy were gathered there.
As soon as he sat down, he sent a text message under the table. "I'll decide everything when I come back."
He waited for a while, but Xu Xu did not reply.
He quietly put down his phone and casually ate a few chopsticks. Then, he heard Director Liu laughing at the Director, "The two of them are quite suitable …"
Ji Bai looked up and smiled. "Suitable?"
The Director glanced at Ji Bai and said to Director Liu, "Xu Xu is very outstanding, and there are a few young men in our department who are chasing after her. However, as a leader, why are you meddling in the affairs of young people? "
Director Liu replied, "How is this meddling? You haven't met Qing Lin, he's a very kind and upright boy. He's been Xu Xu's junior for three years, and they have a good relationship in the police academy. " Then, he laughed. "I've also told him, as the saying goes, 'the pavilion closest to the water enjoys the moonlight first'. If he can't persuade Xu Xu to come to the provincial hall today, he'll regret it in the future!"
After a while, Ji Bai smiled and stood up. "Please enjoy your meal, I still have something to do, so I'll take my leave first."
Director Liu watched him leave and said to the Director, "Why is there something wrong with him today?"
The Director smiled. "I'm afraid that your Qing Lin was born at the wrong time."
After Xu Xu, Da Hu, and Yao Meng returned to the municipal bureau, they had been busy with the follow-up work of the case. Everyone in the Criminal Police Unit had not seen each other for a long time, so they were very affectionate and concerned about each other. Of course, there were also people who got wind of it in advance, such as Old Wu. He looked up at Xu Xu and saw that she looked normal, so he smiled and did not say anything.
The early summer sun was clear, and the office was busy but quiet. Xu Xu had just finished sorting out the last stack of documents, and when she looked up, she saw a thin white figure beside the table.
Xu Xu was a little surprised. "Senior."
Yang Qinglin was wearing a simple white shirt and black trousers. He looked at her for a short while, then smiled gently. "Xu Xu, long time no see."
Everyone in the Criminal Police Unit quietly watched the two of them leave the office side by side. Da Hu asked, "Who was that?"
Someone answered, "A leader from the provincial hall wants to talk to Xu Xu."
Da Hu stood by the window and glanced at the police compound downstairs. "A leader wants to talk … Why did he enter the grove?"
Zhao Han secretly sent a text message. "Boss, when are you coming back?"
The sun was setting, and on the west side of the courtyard were sparse and beautiful trees. Behind the trees was a green grassland. Yang Qinglin and Xu Xu sat on the grass and were quiet for a while.
"Senior, thank you and Director Liu for taking this seriously." Xu Xu said, "However, I won't consider transferring to the provincial hall for the time being. Please apologize to Director Liu on my behalf. I've just arrived at the frontline, so I don't have much experience. I hope that I can accumulate more knowledge. Otherwise, my research will be like water without a source, and I don't have the confidence to do a good job. "
Yang Qinglin looked at her serious and fair face, as if she was still the unworldly and eccentric little junior sister from before. But he had always known that under her taciturn appearance, she actually had a clean and pure heart. It was a unique love that others could not understand, and it seeped into his heart bit by bit. Only after years and months did he know that it was engraved into his bones.
Yang Qinglin moved his gaze away from her face and looked at the large patch of green and soft grass beside his feet. "If you go to the provincial hall, you can also participate in the frontline investigations, and the cases you supervise are all major and important. In addition, I will also … try my best to create a suitable professional development and working environment for you. "
Xu Xu was silent for a moment, then shook her head. "Thank you, senior, but I still don't want to go. I'm investigating cases with Ji Bai now, and he has a very rich experience in criminal investigation and unique analytical thinking. I still want to continue learning from him, and I don't want to give up halfway. "
Yang Qinglin was not good with words, but it did not mean that his intuition was not sharp. Although his junior sister said it calmly and naturally, without any clues, he still felt an inexplicable pain.
Ji Bai, Ji Bai, the province's top detective. He was rumored to be the son of a prominent family in Beijing, but he was doing the toughest criminal investigation, risking his life for it.
In the past few years, when he had stopped and retreated, wanting to achieve some results first, had there been a better man who had moved her heart?
Yang Qinglin said softly, "Okay, I will tell Director Liu that when you feel that you have enough experience in the frontline, you are welcome to come to the provincial hall at any time. In addition … "He turned his head and looked straight into her eyes." There's one more thing I came to look for you. I … I have been working hard for the past few years, and I haven't had a girlfriend. Are you willing … to be with me?
I may be a bit boring, and I'm not good at interpersonal management, so I may not be able to give you particularly good living conditions. But I will always struggle, and I have the confidence to support and manage my future family. I will also do my best to take care of you, love you, and always … put you first. "
Xu Xu's heart trembled slightly, and she looked at him quietly.
Her phone suddenly rang, and it was a text message from Ji Bai. "Wait for me to come back before deciding anything."
When Ji Bai returned to the office, the sky was already dark. The stars shone like broken jade in the night sky. The huge office was quiet, and there was only a familiar slender figure sitting quietly in front of the table. When she heard movement, she raised her head and stared at him with her clear, dark eyes.
Ji Bai looked at her too.
In fact, he knew that she would most likely not agree to go to the provincial hall, and he also knew that she would not accept his senior brother's feelings. However, he still drove very fast for the first time, and sped all the way back to the police station.
When was the last time he drove so impatiently? When he was 15 or 16 years old, he drove around Beijing's Second Ring Road with a group of arrogant childhood friends in the middle of the night, but he felt that it was boring.
What about now? Why was it that just by looking at her calm face, the heart in his chest began to slowly boil?
Was it because the kiss on her hair yesterday had already made him unable to control his emotions? Or was it because he had been holding back for too long, and after he vaguely noticed that she was willing to respond, he could no longer be willing to stay silent, and he did not want to think about how to strategize and advance step by step?
The pavilion closest to the water enjoys the moonlight first, and his pavilion was his moonlight first.
He walked to her table and stopped in his tracks. "I have something to say to you."
Xu Xu was silent for a moment. "Me too."
They walked into Ji Bai's office and sat opposite each other.
Xu Xu spoke first. "I'm not going to the provincial hall, I've already made it clear to my senior brother."
Ji Bai looked at her and nodded.
There was no smile on his handsome face, but his dark and deep eyes were firmly locked on her. He raised his hand, opened the drawer, took out a pack of cigarettes, and lit one up.
Xu Xu frowned. "Why are you smoking again?"
Ji Bai looked at her quietly through the thin smoke and said, "Xu Xu, I've said it before, only my girlfriend can control me."
The same sentence seemed to tug at Xu Xu's heartstrings when she heard it now.
Ji Bai changed the topic and looked calm. "So, I've been chasing you for so long, what do I think?"
Xu Xu could clearly feel her heart pounding in her chest, but … his logic was wrong.
"When did you start chasing me?"
Ji Bai raised his dark eyes and looked at her quietly.
He knew very well that everything he had done was like Jiang Taigong fishing for someone who was willing to take the bait. This was because he wanted both of them to be in love, and he wanted her heart to beat faster.
However, he still answered faintly, "I accompany you for morning exercises every day, I teach you how to shoot step by step, and I make those guys call you sister-in-law … If I'm not chasing you, then what is it?"
Xu Xu felt slightly dizzy like yesterday again. However, the feeling was stronger today. Her chest felt like it was filled with fermenting bread, and it was sweet and blooming.
She also felt a sense of satisfaction that she had never felt before. It was completely different from when she achieved results in her studies and work. This sense of satisfaction was not calm and calm, but it was jumping, throbbing, and stirring.
She let out a long breath and calmed her heartbeat.
"There's no need to chase me."
Ji Bai did not expect her to respond like this, and his heart sank. "What do you mean?"
She looked straight at him. "I like you too, so there's no need to chase me."
The night was quiet and the lights were quiet.
The two of them looked at each other quietly.
Her smile was like a flame, quietly burning in Ji Bai's pitch-black eyes. "Good. I won't chase you anymore. "
Xu Xu's face was a little hot from his stare, but she still asked the question that she was most concerned about. "So, our relationship is officially confirmed, right?"
Ji Bai's smile deepened, and his beautiful eyebrows were dyed with a bright light under the light.
"Very sure."
Xu Xu looked at him and smiled. She did not know what to say, and it seemed like there was no need to say anything.
At this moment, the phone rang at an untimely time. Xu Xu picked it up absentmindedly. "Brother? What's up? "
Xu Juan had not seen his sister for a few days, and he felt strange. He said with a smile on the other end of the phone, "Let's have dinner together tonight?"
Xu Xu looked up at Ji Bai and asked curiously, "Tonight you …"
"Of course." Before she could finish, Ji Bai had already answered quickly and concisely.
So, Xu Xu said to her brother, "Sorry, I have an appointment tonight."
Xu Juan heard a vague man's voice on the phone, and his heart skipped a beat. He asked, "Who … You have an appointment?"
At this time, Ji Bai had already picked up his coat and walked over to open the door for Xu Xu. Xu Xu got up, and there was a hint of joy in her calm voice. "Boyfriend. New. "
