Chapter 460 After all these years, has your brain grown bubbles?
There were three people who came. One of them was a colleague from the Special Branch, and the other was not unfamiliar. He was Kong Jiaxiang's follower from back then. I think his name was Zhu Chang. He had been severely beaten by Chu Xin for being a smart aleck.
The person who should have been demoted escaped because Kong Jiaxiang was suddenly arrested. Instead of staying put, he has taken up another path.
Chu Xin looked at the speaker again. He was a complete stranger, probably around twenty-six or twenty-seven years old. He was quite upright and handsome, and looked like a former soldier, but his eyes looked very unfriendly.
With one hand in his pocket, he paid no attention to Chu Xin, a woman whose appearance was absolutely stunning, and stared only at Zhou Yichen.
Chu Xin's eyes darted around, and she couldn't help but become interested in the relationship between the two of them.
Chu Yunting's expression darkened when he saw who was outside the door. His stomach, which had just been full, suddenly started rumbling. "What a small world! Why is he here?"
His family's influence extends to the Ning City Military Region. What kind of powerful wind could blow this person over from the south and north?
Chu Yunting's words were not mumbled; not only could the people in the office hear them, but those outside the door could also hear them clearly.
"Tch! Chu Yunting, you're still as talkative as ever. Heaven has really been kind to you; no one has torn your mouth apart yet."
The man tilted his head and smiled maliciously. "Even though I'm clumsy, I can still do it. How about I teach you a lesson?"
Chu Yunting's temper couldn't withstand such provocation. He slammed his hand on the table and charged towards the door like an angry wolf cub.
Zhou Yichen reached out to stop him, "Don't be impulsive!"
Then she turned around and faced the provocative man directly.
"Gao Ziyou, if you're here to discuss the case, then speak politely. If not, please leave."
The engineer who was killed was from Ning City, Jiangsu Province. When he first got involved in the case, he received a message that someone from that region would be coming. He never expected it would be him.
So he joined the public security system after retiring from the military?
However, Zhou Yichen believed that everyone was highly professional and would not bring personal grudges into their work.
It's no big deal if Gao Ziyou says a few harsh words; he won't lose anything, and the other party won't gain much benefit either.
"Zhou Yichen, you're still the same as always, with that cold, businesslike attitude. Don't you know how annoying that face of yours really is!"
Gao Ziyou sneered coldly, his hostility towards Zhou Yichen had always been great.
Chu Xin's gossipy eyes darted back and forth several times. She was really curious about what grudge this Gao Ziyou had against Zhou Yichen.
However, he was right about one thing: she initially disliked Zhou Yichen for being too rigid in his work.
"I'm not after you like me," Zhou Yichen said nonchalantly.
It is said that one should look at someone with new eyes after three days of separation, and Gao Ziyou, seeing that he had not seen him for several years, realized that he was no longer the same person he had been before.
His eyes, which had been narrowed and sneer, suddenly widened. He couldn't believe that Zhou Yichen would say such a thing. In the past, he would have just given him a cold look instead of saying something like this.
"After all these years, has your brain grown bubbles?"
Zhou Yichen's patience was about to run out. "Talk business or leave, the choice is yours!"
Chu Yunting: "Exactly, they have absolutely no professionalism!"
Gao Ziyou had known them in the army for so many years and knew their temperaments well. He wasn't in a hurry to provoke Zhou Yichen.
As for Chu Yunting, he's a simpleton. Aside from wasting his breath, he really doesn't bother arguing with the other party.
He raised an eyebrow. "Let's find a place!"
The special operations personnel who brought him here finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he was surprised that Captain Zhou seemed to have a grudge against the police officers who came to help them solve the case, he knew that the case was quite stressful and still hoped that they could resolve their work-related matters calmly.
"Comrade Gao, come with me first. You must have rushed here and haven't eaten yet, right?"
Gao Ziyou shook his head, "I've already eaten. From now on, Captain Zhou will be in charge of my reception duties. That way, we can talk about work anytime."
Zhou Yichen handed his lunchbox to Chu Xin, saying, "You should rest for a while."
After saying that, he went out and led the way.
To his surprise, Gao Ziyou didn't move. He looked at Chu Xin and was surprised again at the lunchbox she was holding. How could Zhou Yichen let a woman take her things?
His gaze shifted upwards, and he only glanced at Chu Xin's face, which no one could honestly call ugly.
He glanced back at Zhou Yichen, who had stopped to wait for him and hadn't followed him, with a strange look in his eyes. He felt a mixture of disdain and curiosity.
When he was in the army, he was practically a monk in the barracks, indifferent to all women and avoiding them like the plague. But now that he's been transferred to his hometown in Kyoto, he's actually keeping a woman at his workplace.
Is there some unspeakable conflict of interest involved? Is Zhou Yichen making a mistake?
"What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a beautiful woman before? Hurry up and leave!"
Chu Yunting stood in front of Chu Xin with a cold face, his tone extremely unpleasant, "You really have no manners!"
"Tch! You haven't improved at all!"
Gao Ziyou was quite disdainful and turned to leave, only to find that Zhou Yichen had already returned.
He asked, "Did you change locations?"
Zhou Yichen said coldly, "Get out!"
Then he pulled Chu Xin, who was still watching the show, into the office and slammed the door shut in front of Gao Ziyou.
Gao Ziyou: ...
My colleague from the Special Branch, sweating profusely: ...
What exactly happened?!
Zhu Chang, who had been following behind without daring to utter a sound, finally spoke up in a low voice, "That woman is Chu Yunting's sister. Zhou Yichen has always taken care of them both, and they have a very good relationship."
That's all I wanted to say. This is the Central Special Branch, Zhou Yichen's territory, and there's one of their own people standing here.
He's not that stupid to talk nonsense.
Being treated so coldly made Gao Ziyou very angry. He wanted to rush over and smash the door, but considering his status, he didn't do anything that was so unbecoming.
"What 'sisters'? Do they think this workplace is their own private property? How can we do our work with this kind of attitude?!"
The colleague from the Special Branch felt annoyed and didn't know how to respond. He looked around and suddenly said:
"Oh, right, there's also the second team working on that case, and he's really dedicated to it. He practically lives in the hospital with the injured person. Why don't you go over and talk to him first, comrade?"
Go ahead, go ahead. Anyway, you have people with you, so you won't get lost in Kyoto.
Gao Ziyou glanced at him, not that he didn't realize this person wanted to get rid of him, but he was drawn to the meaning behind the other person's words.
"You mean Zhou Yichen isn't handling the arsenal case alone?"
"Yes, no, there are also people from Group Two."
An idea immediately formed in his mind. Gao Ziyou had always considered himself no less capable than Zhou Yichen, whether in terms of family background or vision, or even back in the army, where they were evenly matched.
But later...
Thinking about what would happen next, Gao Ziyou frowned in frustration, and his hand, which had been in his pocket, throbbed slightly.
"Okay, take me there!"
Zhou Yichen, aren't you supposed to be aloof?
Then let me show you just how pathetic you are when you're left far behind without your own help!
