Chapter 37: Midnight Whispers

, one day, she got into an accident and seriously injured a passerby. Her father was a military man with a violent temper. When he found out, he beat her severely with a belt.That time, because of the...As Tian guessed, Zhang Xin did have a fight with her father. To be precise, she gave the chief of police in Chunjiang City a mouthful of abuse.

Her home was in the family courtyard of the city bureau. At this moment, Zhang Wei was sitting on the sofa with a sullen face, his expression grim. 。A woman of about forty, dignified and beautiful, smiled as she brought a cup of hot tea and placed it lightly on the tea table in front of Zhang Wei. She smiled and said, “Another fight” This woman was Zhang Wei's second wife and also Zhang Xin's aunt, named Han Dan. 。Zhang Wei turned his head to glance at her, a wry smile playing on his lips: "That girl actually scolded me, saying that I prided myself on being upright and incorruptible, yet the officers under my command were hiding dirt and taking bribes. She accused us of putting personal gain above justice, fabricating confessions, and causing innocent people to suffer." 。“He also said that I was colluding with my subordinates, working together to do wrong. Tell me, isn't this infuriating In her eyes, is that all I am”

Han Dan covered her mouth and chuckled softly, then smiled sweetly: "I think you deserve to be scolded. Xiao Xin works so hard, when have you ever given her a good look And you keep scolding her” 。Now it's her turn to scold you, and you can just experience what she's feeling. 。“I scolded her because I wanted what was best for her. If I hadn't, she wouldn't have known what she would become like.” 。"Alright, don't look at Xiaoxin with old eyes. She's grown up now and is quite sensible." 。Han Dan reached Zhang Wei's side and took his arm, "Didn't you also say yesterday that she was instrumental in cracking this case" 。” Zhang Wei nodded, as if he remembered something, and suddenly asked, “Do you still remember the name of that boy who caught the lecher with her” “It’s called Xiang Tian, I heard Xiao Xin has been getting closer to this boy recently.” 。"Han Dan obviously knows about Zhang Xin's recent situation very well, and immediately stated it." 。“As I suspected, it was him” 。Zhang Wei nodded, his expression suddenly becoming serious. "Xia Zhiwei from the Chengnan Branch is really out of line. He acted recklessly without any evidence, only listening to the one-sided words of the Li family and having Xiangtian arrested, even opening fire. This needs to be rectified." 。"Is it Li Hui" Han Dan looked suspicious, "They took Xiang Tian away" "It's not Li Hui, it's other people from the Li family." 。It is said that Lihui's younger brother suddenly fell seriously ill, and they suspect it has something to do with that young man. So they contacted Lao Xia and asked him to arrest the person. 。“Old Zhang, you have to be careful with this matter,” Han Dan frowned and pondered for a moment. 。Lihui walks closely with Mayor Xie. Recently, it's been said that after Secretary Chen stepped down, Mayor Xie has a high chance of taking the next step. Offending him at this time is probably—" "Fear not!" Zhang Wei waved his hand, interrupting Han Dan, "There are two things I've always hated in my life, one is abusing power for personal gain, and the other is breaking the law knowing it's wrong. I can't control others, but if those under me break these two rules, I absolutely cannot accept it." 。Moreover, that young man named Xiangtian was of great help to Xiaoxin in the case of the lecherous old man. I can't just ignore him. 。“Having said that, he stood up and said, “Xiao Han, you go to sleep first. I’ll go back to the study to make a few phone calls.” 。As Zhang Wei strode into the study, Han Dan's eyes revealed a hint of worry. 。 Zhang Wei and her daughter share a similar stubborn personality. Over the past two years, she has put in a lot of effort to bridge the gap between them, but with little success. 。

Right now, Zhang Xin has achieved impressive results. Even Zhang Wei, who has always had high expectations for his daughter, nods in approval of her achievements. This is a good opportunity for her to strengthen their father-daughter bond, but Zhang Wei will have to face the powerful Li family, and she can't help but worry about him.

The Liu family is simply too powerful. The backbone of the Liu family, Liu Hui, also has a close relationship with Mayor Xie, who is about to take office. If Zhang Wei offends the Liu family and incurs Liu Hui's revenge, even though he is currently the director of the Public Security Bureau, he will face a very difficult situation. He may even lose his position and be forced to resign. In more serious cases, he could be falsely accused and thrown in jail. 。Those in power, one misstep can lead to utter ruin. This is the lesson being illustrated here. 。She also knew that once Zhang Wei made a decision, he would definitely see it through to the end. Even if there was no path ahead, he would pave his own way. This tenacious spirit came from his time in the military, and even after years in office, he remained unchanged. 。So, she didn't try to dissuade Zhang Wei any further, especially since it was Zhang Xin who had suggested this. 。I hope everything goes smoothly. If it does, maybe their father-daughter relationship will improve greatly because of this. 。 It was the dead of night, and in the private hospital owned by a subordinate of the Li family, all members of the Li family except for Li Kang gathered outside the intensive care unit. 。"What, they let the people go Who allowed them to release the prisoners" A wizened old woman with silver hair and a shimmering gown roared. 。She is Li Kang's mother and Li Hui's adoptive mother, known as Old Madam Yang, who is over seventy years old. 。Before her, a man in his thirties lowered his head and replied: “It is said to be an order from Director Zhang of the Municipal Bureau, and even a special task force was set up overnight to investigate this matter.” 。" Zhang Wei" A flash of anger crossed the old woman's eyes, then she turned to the woman beside her who was supporting her and said, "Call Xiao Hui immediately. I want to speak to him." 。 After a while, the phone call went through. She picked up the phone and cried out in anguish: "Xiao Hui, your younger brother is going to die. If you don't come back soon, you won't even be able to see him for the last time..." A deep, heavy male voice came from the phone: "Mom, don't worry, I've called the best doctor and I'm rushing back right away. Xiao Kang will be fine, don't worry." 。"Little Hui, when you're not at home, Mom feels so lost. Now, not only has your brother been wronged, but even people outside the house don't listen to me anymore." 。"Just now I heard them say, Zhang Wei from the municipal bureau not only let the murderer go free, but also set up a task force to specifically investigate the police who helped us. You tell me, how can Mom rest assured about this!" “Is that so” There was a moment of silence on the phone before he said, “Mom, don’t worry, I’ll be back as soon as possible, and I’ll be home by tomorrow morning at the latest.” 。Having hung up the phone, the old woman's face was gloomy. She seemed lost in thought. 。The middle-aged woman beside her glanced at her, then suddenly leaned into her ear and whispered, "Aunt, I heard that Lihui seems to be looking for someone this time. Did he get some news and find clues about his biological parents"The old woman's eyes flashed with excitement as she turned to stare back at her, "Is all of this true""It's absolutely true, Little Horse told Rongrong in secret," 。Being stared at like that by the old woman, the middle-aged woman's heart skipped a beat and she quickly said 。 She said the pony belonged to Li Hui's secretary. This time, Li Hui was on a business trip and brought him along. Rongrong was her daughter, young and beautiful, only eighteen years old this year. Unexpectedly, she had gotten involved with the pony who was already married. 。The old woman pondered for a moment, then whispered: "Alright, let's not speak of this again." 。After finishing her words, she turned her head and looked through the transparent observation window at Li Kang in the intensive care unit. Her eyes flickered, as if thinking about something unknown. 。Zhang Wei's fierce attack was beyond everyone's imagination. When Xiang Tian learned from Xiaochao that even the director of the Chengnan Branch, Xia Zhiwei, was under investigation by the task force, he was speechless for a moment. 。This powerful Director Zhang, as expected, is truly domineering. 。Just now, after going to the hospital to remove the bullet and having his wound treated, Zhang Xin and he sent Xu Lingwei back home together, and then he sent Zhang Xin downstairs. 。At this moment, he and Pepper Potts were strolling in the small garden in the center of Baiyun Community. 。It seems your dad still cares about you. 。"Turning his head to the little pepper, he said " 。In the night, the female police officer's appearance was obscured, but her unique fragrance, carried by the evening breeze, wafted around him, tantalizing his senses. 。"Humph, I don't think so. " 。"Zhang Xin said angrily, 'You don't know that man. He is extremely stubborn and always thinks he is perfect, believing no one else compares to him.'" 。This time his men made such a big blunder, and even shot someone, he was furious, not because of me. 。It is already four o'clock in the morning. The community is quiet, and the night is deep. 。He reached out and encircled her slender waist, pulling her warm body into his embrace. In a low voice, he murmured, "Don't talk nonsense. No one would ever speak of their own father like that." 。"I think he still cares about you a lot. If it were anyone else, they would at least wait until tomorrow before saying anything, let alone start investigating this quickly."

Zhang Xin admitted that Xiang Tian made sense. She sighed inwardly and leaned into his embrace, gently touching his wound: "I hope so!"

After a while, she pulled away from Xiang Tian, reluctantly said, "You should go up. Otherwise, your aunt will start to suspect something." 。" Also your little aunt, oh!" "Ugh, you're such a tease!" Zhang Xin gave Xiang Tian a playful punch on the chest when she heard his teasing. 。"Ouch!" Xiang Tian knew she was leaving, and his heart ached with reluctance. Just as luck would have it, the spot she hit wasn't far from his wound. He had an idea and feigned a pained cry, acting as if he were in terrible agony. 。Zhang Xin also remembered at this time that this man had just been shot, so when she heard his cry, her face paled with fright, thinking that his wound had been broken by her. 。"Take off your clothes, let me have a look!" she said nervously, while taking out her phone to use the light to examine the wound on his chest. 。However, towards the heavens did not take off his clothes, but took her little hand, leading her to explore inside his clothes, and put that soft and smooth little hand on his chest. 。He placed his hand directly on Xiang Tian's chest, feeling the strong and powerful heartbeat beneath his palm. He even felt a small bump under his fingers. Zhang Xin suddenly felt flustered and embarrassed, wanting to withdraw his hand. 。Toward the sky tightly held her hand, leaning down beside her ear and said: "Baby, my heart will always beat for you" 。As soon as he finished speaking, he felt Little Chili's whole body go limp, like her bones had been pulled out, and she softly fell into his arms. 。He took the opportunity to sit down on the nearby stool, scooped her up horizontally, and placed her on his lap. 。as well."Is there anything else" Xiang Tian asked again from behind the door."Let's go to him and ask about the situation."Upon hearing that it was the police, and even looking for him personally, Xia...
