Chapter 31 The old enemies meet again!
As it turns out, Anyang was right.
Lu Yimin and Liu Huai treated Zhou Liangpeng like a thief, fearing that Anyang might be transferred to another unit at any moment.
Fortunately, the mission was completed, and Anyang could return to the police station.
However, before leaving, An Yang still found Zhou Liangpeng.
"Team Leader Zhou, there's something I need you to handle."
Looking at the grinning Anyang, Zhou Liangpeng also grinned.
"Reluctant to leave, aren't you? I knew it. Someone with your talent is better suited to our second team."
"Don't worry, I'll go and ask my superiors right away, and they'll definitely keep you here..."
An Yang shook his head and extended his hand to Zhou Liangpeng.
"No, Captain Zhou, um... could you reimburse me for the materials I used for undercover reconnaissance?"
what?
who am I?
where am I?
Zhou Liangpeng's facial muscles twitched, and he kept scratching his ears, wondering if he had misheard!
When others complete such a significant task, they're all concerned about their own future.
He actually asked me for money for the materials?
"How many?"
Anyang counted on his fingers, meticulously calculating.
"Seven large pork knuckles, let's say five hundred. The cinnamon, star anise, chili peppers, and other small change are just small change, about seventy yuan in total."
"And these two pots, both pure iron pots, 120 yuan for both. I borrowed that tricycle from an old man in the neighborhood. A pack of good cigarettes is enough for 20 yuan."
"Let's leave the rest aside, it's seven hundred and one in total, you can give me seven hundred."
Zhou Liangpeng was completely stunned.
What's left?
Is there anything left?
Reach into pocket, scan QR code,
It wasn't until An Yang had already gotten into Lu Yimin's car and left that Zhou Liangpeng remembered...
"That's not right. He already reimbursed me, so why did he charge me eighty yuan in the industrial park earlier?"
in the car,
Director Lu and Director Liu were laughing so hard they were almost out of breath.
Xiao Lin, who was sitting behind An Yang, was also laughing so hard she was clutching her stomach.
"Comrade Anyang, are you short of seven hundred yuan? If you're not, why do you still need it?"
Anyang is very serious.
"Work is work, and money is money; you need to keep them separate."
Looking at An Yang before her, Xiao Lin seemed to understand why he was so rich.
It really proves the old saying: the richer a person is, the stingier they are.
"Alright, enough laughing. Now I have some good news for you."
Lu Yimin spoke as he drove.
"Originally, the commendation ceremony for Comrade Anyang was planned to be held by our institute itself."
"But according to the notice from above, the city has organized a unified commendation meeting for the entire system tomorrow!"
The entire system?
Xiao Lin blinked her big eyes,
"What's going on? Are they really going all out?"
Liu Huai smiled.
"I guess the boss is happy because we've solved so many cases recently, and he's taking this opportunity to reassure all the subordinate units."
When this topic came up, Anyang couldn't get a word in edgewise.
After all, he had only been working for a few days, so how would he know the scale of such an awards ceremony?
Moreover,
Although I have made many contributions, in a system full of talented people, I probably won't cause any trouble.
Therefore, Anyang has remained silent.
Xiao Lin noticed it, and stared at him with a suspicious look.
"Excuse me, can I ask you a question?"
Xiao Lin herself probably didn't even realize it.
Now, when she speaks to An Yang, her tone has changed from a commanding tone to an inquiring one.
"You're asking, sir."
Xiao Lin moved a little closer to the ground.
"Who taught you how to make this braised pork knuckle?"
"It smells good, doesn't it?"
"Mmm, smells good."
"A natural talent, I could do it when I was three."
cut.
Xiao Lin rolled her eyes.
"He was only three years old when..."
She clearly didn't believe it.
But An Yang was quietly staring at the scenery flashing past the window, speaking very seriously.
"Actually, this is only the second time I've made braised pork knuckle. The first time was when I was three years old, when I tried to cook dinner for my dad."
"Unfortunately, it failed. The pot melted, and the pork knuckle turned black."
Oh?
"I didn't realize you were so filial."
As soon as Xiao Lin finished speaking, she immediately realized something was wrong.
"If you fail once, you never try again?"
"Um."
An Yang leaned back, shrinking into the back seat.
"Maybe my dad was scared of the braised pork knuckle I made; he disappeared after that day."
"So, I don't know who I'm making it for."
Boom!
These seemingly ordinary words, like a pebble, were thrown into Xiao Lin's heart!
As the ripples spread, Xiao Lin felt as if something had pierced her heart, causing her excruciating pain!
She couldn't tell at all.
This person, who is always laughing and joking, has encountered such a situation!
Moreover, just how long did he struggle before he could now talk about this experience in a joking tone!
"I'm...I'm sorry."
He scoffed.
As Xiao Lin apologized, Lu Yimin abruptly pulled the car over to the side of the road.
"Buy a pack of cigarettes."
After saying this, Lu Yimin got out of the car and went into a small supermarket by the roadside.
However, Liu Huai picked up a pack of cigarettes that he had left on the car seat.
I squeezed it, and there was still more than half a box left.
Finally, Liu Huai could no longer suppress his suspicions and turned to ask:
"An Yang, did you know Director Lu before?"
An Yang shook his head.
"I don't know him."
"Don't you recognize me, or did you just not notice?"
"What do you mean?"
"So...you're sure you never met Director Lu when you were a child?"
This question truly stumped Anyang.
"I haven't seen Director Lu since I was at least four years old, and I didn't know about him before that."
Liu Huai's eyes narrowed sharply.
He seemed to already know why Lu Yimin was so sensitive to the word "undercover agent"!
After Lu Yimin got back into the car,
The four people in the car barely spoke again.
Especially Xiao Lin,
Even after returning home, she was distracted and barely slept a wink all night.
Until the commendation ceremony the next day.
"Hey, Captain Xiao, you're wearing eye cream today?"
An Yang recognized it immediately.
Xiao Lin smiled and nodded.
"Such a big event, I was so excited I couldn't sleep last night."
That might fool others, but it'll be a long shot to fool Anyang.
"That doesn't seem right. Given Captain Xiao's achievements, he's participated in these kinds of events at least three or four times. Why would you get excited?"
"Is it because of something else?"
Xiao Lin raised her hand, using violence to suppress her panic.
"Let's see how excited you get later!"
Led by Lu Yimin and Liu Huai, they pushed open the door.
Wow, so many people?
Cao Bin's eyes widened in surprise.
"Old Lu, Old Liu, this rough estimate puts at least three hundred people, right?"
"More than that, I saw over four hundred."
"What kind of eyesight do you have? I think it's five hundred."
Hearing the slightly excited chatter, Lu Yimin immediately rolled his eyes.
"What a spineless coward!"
"With representatives from the four major institutes, three major detachments, and even the armed special forces, there are quite a few people attending. How could the number be small?"
The bright red seats were all occupied.
"Our seats are in the middle, row five. Please sit down."
Liu Huai led everyone to their location.
But as soon as he sat down, he heard a sound that both made him angry and amused.
"Hey, Lao Lu and Lao Liu, you've really made something of yourselves! You're in this row too?"
