9 p.m., Shunfeng street food stall.
“Come, come, come … Let’s have another cup!” Zhao Yu stood up and poured a big glass of beer for his father-in-law, Miao kun, then said,”I didn’t expect that a guy who’s used to drinking foreign wine like you could be so good at beer!”
“I haven’t had beer in my hometown for a long time. I really miss it!” Miao kun said,”it’s just like how I always go to Wenxi’s to try the hotpot chicken every time I return to China!”
Zhao Yu raised his glass and clinked it with Miao kun ‘s.”I think I’ve already apologized to you, right?” he asked.
“Oh, really? My memory isn’t that good anymore!” Miao kun raised his glass and said,”I’m just curious. I broke your arm, but why are you fine?” Is it … A bone shrinking technique or something?”
“Mm …” Zhao Yu didn’t need to think much when it came to lying, so he immediately explained,”when I was young, my joints always dislocated, so I’m used to it!”
“Oh … Oh …” Miao kun blinked his eyes as he drank. He seemed to be deep in thought.
“By the way,” Zhao Yu gulped down a few mouthfuls and asked,”you’re usually so elusive, so why did you suddenly come to my place?” I saw you walking around a Phaeton. Are you thinking of using a car?”
“No, I didn ‘t!” Miao kun laughed.”I just happened to have something to do in Qinshan today! I heard from Miao Miao that you’ve returned to Mount Qin. After I’m done with my business, I thought of coming to visit you.
“I’ve never been to your place before. When I arrived downstairs, I saw that the car looked familiar, so I went to take a look. I didn’t expect you to be so alert. Look at my neck, it’s Red …”
“Is that so?” Zhao Yu looked at his father-in-law seriously and wondered,”why didn’t you call me in advance? “Oh …” Zhao Yu suddenly realized.”What do you mean by coming to see me? You must be afraid that I, Zhao Yu, would be fooling around outside, so you wanted to give me a surprise attack, right? You’re really something!”
“What are you saying? Do I look like such a lowly person?” Miao kun pouted.”I was just thinking of coming over to take a look. If you’re here, let’s get together!” If you’re not here, then forget it. Anyway, you’re a busy detective, so I won’t disturb you!”
“Go to hell! Who are you trying to fool?” Zhao Yu squinted his eyes and said,”you poked your head into the car to see if there were any women’s belongings in it, right?”
“Uhm … You …” Miao kun blushed. Zhao Yu had hit the nail on the head.
“You already said I’m a great detective, so why are you still pretending?” Zhao Yu pouted.
“Amazing, amazing!” Miao kun quickly raised his glass and said,”I’m convinced. Come on, let’s drink!”
With that, he pinched his nose and drank the large glass of beer. The discomfort was indescribable.
Zhao Yu, of course, didn’t do anything. He squinted his eyes and said to the old man, “You’re really something. I, Zhao Yu, am a man who carries my chastity everywhere. Why would I do anything to let MeowMeow down? In the past, the four beauties living next to me fought to smash my door every day, but I ignored them! Cough, cough …”
He didn’t know if it was because of his guilty conscience, but Zhao Yu choked before he could finish his sentence.
“Okay, it’s my fault this time …” Miao kun patted his chest and said,”by the way, my son-in-law!” What about the matter I discussed with you in Feng ping last time? Are you interested in coming to my side?”
“Well …” Zhao Yu was suddenly in a difficult position.”To be honest, I’m not ready yet!” Your missions are all very high-level, and they’re completely different from solving cases. I’m just afraid that my level of education and standard of living can’t keep up!”
“Ahem!” “What’s the F * cking use of the grade?”Miao kun asked, a little tipsy. Do you think that I have a high educational background? I only studied for a few years at Peking University for my master’s degree when I first started out …”
“Mm … F * ck …” Zhao Yu muttered in his heart. Are you comforting me or mocking me?
“In any case … I have high hopes for you!” Miao kun blushed and said,”the landing … And the gold and treasure … You were done for. I didn’t expect that you would still be able to turn the tide after such a difficult time! To be honest, even I feel inferior to him!”
“What! “I was just lucky,” Zhao Yu said.”If all the bombs in the military fortress had exploded, it would have been useless for me to do anything!”
“Wrong! Wrong!” Miao kun raised a finger and said seriously,”good luck is also a reflection of ability! Not everyone has luck, don’t you think? Hehehe …”
“Hmm …” Zhao Yu pondered for a moment, then asked,”what about the gold treasure case?”
“It’s almost done!” Although Miao kun was a little drunk, he still looked around vigilantly, then told Zhao Yu,”the real people behind the scenes were all mad with anger. That was great!
“We’ve received reliable news that because we caught them alive, they were forced to carry out a major internal cleansing, which inevitably led to a serious internal strife.
“In the end, not only did the entire Seraphim clan collapse, even some of the spies and donors who were involved in the reselling of information fell into the trap. It would be very difficult for them to become a force to be reckoned with!
“This way, it’s equivalent to shuffling the cards in the Pacific region of Southeast Asia. This is greatly beneficial to our development!”
“Oh …” Zhao Yu nodded. He didn’t expect that the gold case, which didn’t look particularly complicated, would have so many implications.
“You also contributed a lot! A few days ago, the higher-ups were still talking about you! “Your bad idea is really mean, hehehe …” Miao kun raised his glass again and said,”so, if you’re almost there, come and help me!”
“The country needs talents like you! Besides, if I bring you into the industry, it’ll save you a lot of trouble!”
“I think … Let’s just forget it!” Zhao Yu shook his head.”I can also contribute to the country by solving cases. It wasn’t easy for me to become a detective, but I suddenly became 007. It feels weird!”
“You’re wrong again!” Miao kun suddenly approached Zhao Yu and said earnestly,”who said that you can’t be a detective after joining secret services? You don’t know, but there are actually many major international cases that need a super detective like you to take action!”
“Oh? A major international case?” Hearing about a major international case, Zhao Yu suddenly perked up.”There’s such an operation? But, for cases in foreign countries, we Chinese …”
“No, you’ve misunderstood!” Miao kun quickly explained,”I mean, our Secret Service often receives some special international cases.
“In these cases, because it involves our country’s personnel or interests, the local police sometimes invite our investigators to assist in the investigation in order to be open and transparent!
“Hmm…Could it be that you’ve never heard of that specialized term?”
“Oh …” Zhao Yu nodded in a hurry, but he couldn’t help but feel a wave of emotions in his heart.”Is that the phrase ‘the Interpol in Xuanji’?”
