"You mean..."
"This Li Fei is Li Xiang's cousin?"
Facing An Xin's surprise, Yang Jian said: "Mang Village has a history of thousands of years. Isn't it normal for a few people to move out of the village?"
"Okay, thank you in advance."
An Xin thought for a while, then put away her things and got up to leave.
But just then.
Yang Jian called him out: "By the way, An Xin, Meng Yu and I are divorced, and... Doudou has also changed her last name now."
"When did it happen?" An Xin's turning movement paused slightly.
Yang Jian said: "It's been two or three months. I'm telling you this because I hope you can help take care of them outside. After all, they are orphans and widowed, so I'm still a little uneasy."
"Uncle Meng is here, what do you have to worry about?" An Xin said.
"Meng Dehai?"
Yang Jian sneered: "An Xin, people can change."
"Okay, it's almost time, I should go back."
"An Xin, if you still treat me as a friend, then take care of me, because... the only one I can trust now is you."
——
Back to the car.
An Xin called according to the contact information provided by Yang Jian.
soon.
A young voice came from the mobile phone: "Hello, who are you?"
"My name is An Xin, from the Jinghai City Criminal Investigation Brigade..."
An Xin first introduced himself.
Then he roughly described his current situation.
But as soon as he finished speaking, a strange laughter came from the other side: "That's quite a coincidence."
"What a coincidence?"
"Because I'm currently suspended just like you."
An Xin heard this.
The corner of his mouth twitched unnaturally.
Li Fei continued: "But if you want to know about the Dongshan drug trafficking network, I can help you."
"And even if you don't make this call, I still want to ask a Jinghai police officer how you handled the case and allowed such a large amount of drugs to flow out openly under your nose!"
"A load of drugs?"
Facing An Xin's surprise, Li Fei said: "I just received the news yesterday. It said that half a month ago, a batch of drugs weighing at least one ton flowed from a port in your Jinghai City to England and France. two countries."
"Can you find out which port it is?"
"I heard it's a port under construction. Do you have such a place in Jinghai?"
"have!"
An Xin narrowed her eyes and said.
——
Qiangsheng Group.
Zhu Huiru was reporting to Gao Qilan: "Sister Lan, Lu Tao just called and said that he has received Tom, the representative sent by Jiakenni Group this time. Now he is asking us whether we should arrange a hotel stay first or pick him up first. company."
"First pick up..."
As soon as Gao Qilan said two words, his phone suddenly rang.
She took a look.
Although there is no note on the number, it feels familiar.
Then he said to Hu Huiru: "Wait a moment, I will answer the phone."
"Hello. Who is this?"
"it's me."
The familiar voice on the phone made Gao Qilan slightly stunned.
Subconsciously, he spit out a name: "An Xin?"
"Do you have time? I want to talk to you." An Xin asked on the phone.
Gao Qilan couldn't help but smile and said: "Do you think it is necessary to meet with our current relationship?"
"I have been suspended from my job, so... I just want to have a chat with you as a friend, is that okay?" An Xin continued to ask without giving up.
At the beginning,
Gao Qilan wanted to refuse.
But I thought that An Xin was not the kind of character who would still call herself when nothing happened.
After thinking for a while, he agreed: "Okay, where are you going?"
An Xin was very happy and said with a busy smile: "When friends reminisce about old times, of course they go to the most familiar place. Look... is the dumpling restaurant okay?"
"Okay, I'll go there now."
——
hang up the phone.
Zhu Huiru looked at Gao Qilan in surprise: "Sister Lan, are you going to see An Xin?"
Gao Qilan didn't explain, just hummed, and changed the topic: "The Tom you just mentioned...just arrange to have a rest in our hotel first."
"Also, go to the hotel and book a private room, and I'll treat him to dinner tonight."
"Okay, Sister Lan."
——
Qinghua District.
Northeast Dumpling House.
An Xin has been waiting here for a long time.
See Gao Qilan come in.
He stood up hurriedly and embarrassedly: "It's embarrassing for a boss like you to come to a place like this to eat."
"But there's nothing I can do about it. With my small salary, I can only treat guests in places like this. I can't afford to treat guests in a big hotel or something like that."
"A small place has its advantages. After all... there are still a lot of memories here." Gao Qilan said as he looked at Xi Zhou.
After the two sat down.
Gao Qilan saw An Xin subconsciously rubbing her waist, and asked with a faint smile: "It's been almost a year since I came back, and I haven't found a suitable opportunity for a song. Is your waist feeling better?"
An Xin smiled and said, "It's still the same, sometimes good and sometimes bad."
"Then let's take advantage of this time to have an operation, once and for all." Gao Qilan said.
Same words.
She said the same thing two years ago.
But An Xin didn't agree at that time.
and,
Remember that night.
It was also in this shop that An Xin treated herself to dumplings...
At this time.
The boss was holding a plate of dumplings and placed it on the table with enthusiasm: "Boy, please use the leek dumplings you ordered with caution."
Hearing this, Gao Qilan said with a half-smile, "An Xin, your invitation to this meal is not very sincere."
"What's wrong?" An Xin looked at her with some confusion.
Gao Qilan said slightly reproachfully: "Have you forgotten that I like to eat three delicacies stuffed food?"
"Oh, I actually forgot about this. Then I'll ask for another plate."
Saying,
An Xin reached out to greet the boss.
But the words didn't come out.
He had already been stopped by Gao Qilan.
She smiled and said, "No, just stuffed with leeks. After all, at your age, you should eat more leeks to replenish your health."
A few dumplings were eaten.
Gao Qilan put down his chopsticks and looked at An Xin: "Tell me, what do you want to know when you invite me to dinner today."
"It's just a meal..."
"real?"
"real!"
"Okay, I've eaten the dumplings too, so I'll leave first. You don't know, but there is a foreign customer today, and I haven't gone to receive it yet."
Seeing An Xin refused to tell the truth.
Gao Qilan made a show of planning to leave.
This scene.
It also made An Xin completely anxious: "Hey, Xiaolan, wait a minute..."
"An Xin, An Xin, you really haven't changed at all." Gao Qilan couldn't help laughing.
Think for a moment.
An Xin then said: "Actually, there is a case, which may be related to a batch of goods sent out by your port not long ago."
“Specific point.”
"Sent to France."
"An Xin, if you ask that, then there is really no need for me to accompany you." Gao Qilan frowned, stood up decisively and walked outside.
"Xiaolan!"
An Xin called out softly and hurriedly chased after him.
And at the door.
Gao Qilan paused, raised his head and took a deep breath: "An Xin, you don't remember what kind of dumplings I like to eat. I don't blame you, because you have never liked me, but you shouldn't treat me like that when I was here. What you said has also been forgotten."
Gao Qilan's words.
An Xin was slightly startled, and then he explained: "Xiaolan, I'm not bullying you, I'm helping you!"
"I admit that since you returned to China, I have been doubting your purpose and motives."
"And the facts also prove that after you returned to China, you did indeed do some bad things."
"But this is different."
"It's poison!"
"Have you forgotten why your second brother died?"
When An Xin opened her heart and soul, trying to make Gao Qilan understand the seriousness of the problem.
Gao Qilan took another deep breath, then turned his head and replied with a faint smile on his face: "An Xin, our terminal is originally engaged in import and export trade, not to mention France, the United States, Britain, and Australia. , Italy and other countries, and there are hundreds of ships coming in and out every day. Now you call me for questioning just because you want to go to France. Don’t you think you are ridiculous? "
"in addition."
"I also hope you remember clearly that Gao Qilan, who was so naive that he believed your lies and didn't even see my brother who raised me for the last time, is dead."
"The person standing in front of you now is Gao Qilan, the chairman of Qiangsheng Group!"
"Thank you for treating me to the dumplings today. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first..."
