Tiger Police

Chapter 354 Old Acquaintances

Cong Rui thought for a moment: "Internal medicine?"

Hu Pingtao asked: "Are you sure?"

Cong Rui nodded: "I was asked by you just now, I remembered: Xu Ling asked me if I knew a better doctor, saying that her man was not in good health, and wanted to see a doctor to take a good look."

Hu Pingtao narrowed his eyes: "What happened to her husband?"

Cong Rui shook her head: "I don't know, she didn't say."

Hu Pingtao thought for a moment, then slowly rubbed his fingers: "There are too few clues, let's go back to the point of the question! The reason why Xu Ling is so enthusiastic about introducing you to a boyfriend is most likely because he wants to gain benefits through this matter. For example Promotion and salary increase or something. Otherwise, she won't get you into the unit and become a colleague."

Cong Rui understood a bit: "You mean, in this way, she will have more opportunities?"

"Yes." Hu Pingtao analyzed: "In fact, Xu Ling's initial thought should be very simple——she is jealous of you. Your ex-husband is an excellent man, and Xu Ling's husband is not popular in comparison. She has a good face , so I deliberately fabricated all kinds of lies about "happy marriage" in front of you."

"The time span is very long. You and our Linlin are college classmates, and Linlin and I have been married for several years, let alone you. When Xu Ling just started to have an idea, when she deliberately performed in front of you, I felt It should be without malice. It’s like people without money deliberately bragging that they are rich, wearing a shiny coat to disguise... It’s not surprising, after all, everyone wants to be superior.”

"But the situation changed later. Xu Ling suffered domestic violence many times, and it was very serious." Hu Pingtao raised his right hand, clenched his fist in the air, and made a downward hammering motion: "I We have dealt with several similar family disputes, either the Women’s Federation in the jurisdiction intervened, or the couple divorced.”

Cong Rui frowned and asked, "You mean, Xu Ling wants to divorce her husband?"

"Probably so." Hu Pingtao replied based on his own experience: "No woman is willing to be beaten every day. Even a woman with strong logical thinking will not accept such a life honestly. Now it is different from the past. Well, the feudal code of ethics did not restrict human nature and behavior so strongly, even if a woman who has received modern education is cowardly, she dare not tell her face to face, but afterwards she can either call the police or go to the street office to seek help from the Women’s Federation.”

"You said that Xu Ling is your college classmate, and judging from your previous descriptions, she is a very scheming woman. She can even plot against you, let alone her husband."

Cong Rui's face suddenly changed.

She grabbed the hem of the clothes with both hands and clenched her teeth tightly, unable to speak for a long time.

"I...I was cheated...I was cheated by her..."

Cong Rui muttered to herself, her face was pale, and tears of regret shone in her eyes.

Su Xiaolin persuaded from the side: "If you want to open up, just leave. Maybe you can find a better one in the future."

Cong Rui could no longer control her emotions, she threw herself into Su Xiaolin's arms and burst into tears.

There was a lot of movement here, even though it was a private room, it also disturbed the guests next door.The waiter pushed the door open and said seriously: "Hi, is there anything I can help you with?"

Yin Li quickly stood up and explained: "Sorry, my friend is a little emotional. It will be fine soon."

When the waiter left the private room, Su Xiaolin patted Congrui's back lightly to comfort her. When Congrui's mood improved slightly, Hu Pingtao watched her wiping the corners of her eyes with a tissue, and said calmly, "Here is a Suggestion, do you want to hear it?"

Cong Rui has developed a strong sense of trust in Hu Pingtao.She took a deep breath, nodded, and replied with a strong nasal voice: "Speak!"

"Call Xu Ling out now, and ask her out for dinner." Hu Pingtao's eyes flickered with cunning.

All the people present showed surprised expressions and looked at him with puzzled eyes.

"Why?" Cong Rui asked.

Ding Jian said: "What do you want to do?"

Yin Li's idea was relatively simple: "Do you want to question me face to face?"

Su Xiaolin knew her husband very well: "Why, do you think there is something wrong with Xu Ling?"

Hu Pingtao said seriously: "I suspect she is brewing some kind of plan."

As he said that, he turned his gaze to Congrui: "At first, Xu Ling was very jealous of you, so she deliberately created the illusion of a "happy family" to trick you into divorcing your ex-husband. It's not difficult to understand. Seeing how your life is going, I was beaten by a man every day, and I feel unbalanced if I change it. It’s like the little story: God gave someone a wish, and the premise was that no matter what he asked, his neighbors could get twice what he asked for. The result is this People think about it and tell God: My wish is to lose an eye."

"There are a lot of psychopaths, and the song "As long as you live better than me" is actually a fake. Of course, this society is not all dark, and there are many positive things. Some people sacrifice their lives for the country, and some help the sick. Donate money and materials. Let’s say voluntary blood donation! Those people are worthy of praise. Although what they do is not big, they can lead more people to participate.”

"Let's talk about it, let's talk about Xu Ling! She is very scheming, I suspect that her pushing you to divorce is only the first step of the whole plan."

Cong Rui opened her eyes wide, and asked suspiciously: "You mean, she has follow-ups?"

Hu Pingtao nodded slowly: "Introducing work is not as simple as it seems on the surface. If Xu Ling introduces you to another company, it can also be explained that she feels guilty about your divorce. You should be compensated in this way. But it is unreasonable to introduce you into her company. "

"Your overall image is still very good. Although you are over middle-aged, you are very beautiful. A woman like you has no shortage of suitors no matter where she goes. Although I have never met Xu Ling, just as you said before I can tell that she is not as good as you in terms of temperament or image. In this way, two people in the same unit will naturally form a crowd gap."

"Beauty is very popular. What about Xu Ling... The biggest difference between her and you is that she is married and divorced. So the men in the unit will actively pursue you."

"If it was me...I mean, if I were a woman, in the same position as Xu Ling. No matter how good our relationship is, we are good girlfriends, good sisters who can't be closer, I I will not bring you into my company to work together."

"The reason is very simple. This is to make myself uncomfortable, to find something to do!"

"If I'm ten or twenty years older than you, then I can still think about it. After all, I am old and you are still young, so having a group of men around you is a special treatment for your age group. The problem is Xu Ling is the same age as you, and is also a classmate. There is an old saying: don’t be afraid of comparing goods, but be afraid of comparing others. Because of your happy marriage and the overall quality of your husband, Xu Ling deliberately fabricated lies to lure you to take the initiative to file for divorce. To put it bluntly, you are the prey who fell into it without knowing it. She has already done it very successfully, and your life will become very bad next time. Why did Xu Ling take the initiative to reach out? As soon as you give me a professional counterpart, I will give you a good job that is very suitable for you?"

"We don't care whether the position of the company's financial staff is good or not. If you work outside, whether you are a civil servant, a career editor, a state-owned enterprise or a private enterprise, if you want to get good reviews and achieve results in your work, besides personal ability, the most important thing is popularity."

"Your popularity in the unit should be very good." Hu Pingtao looked at Congrui with a shrewd look in his eyes: "Aside from the attraction between the opposite sex because of your appearance, at least I have a good feeling for you .and by extension, you have more friends than enemies on the unit."

"Xu Ling knows you very well. Why did she introduce you into her company and make you the center of attention?"

"First of all, I can say something responsibly—this is definitely not out of guilt or compensation."

"Secondly, Cong Rui, you also said that there are many men in the unit who are pursuing you, and Xu Ling also took the initiative to introduce boyfriends to you. The reason for doing this is nothing more than two possibilities: either to pass this matter Get some kind of benefit. Promotion, salary increase, other help... or as I said before, she has a feeling of guilt towards you. "

Yin Li asked puzzledly: "Didn't you just say that Xu Ling would not feel guilty, let alone want to make up for Cong Rui?"

Hu Pingtao turned to Yin Li and explained with a smile: "So this possibility does not exist, but when analyzing the problem, this part must be included as one of the optional directions."

The muscles on Congrui's face trembled slightly: "...Xu Ling...does she want to harm me?"

Hu Pingtao reached out to pick up the teapot on the dining table, poured a cup of tea for Congrui, and comforted him: "Don't be nervous, as far as the current situation is concerned, Xu Ling hasn't made any substantial moves towards you. Because of what you said Things seem to be many and complicated, but in fact there is very little data that can be used for analysis. I suggest that you resign as soon as possible and change to another company. Also, delete Xu Ling's phone number, WeChat, Penguin account, and all contact methods , stay away from this woman."

"Many dangerous things have omens. Many signs are elusive. Although I am a policeman, without evidence, I can only give you this advice through my own understanding and cognition."

Cong Rui frowned and remained silent for a long time.

She raised her head slowly, eyes filled with expectation and gratitude: "You said just now, let me call Xu Ling to make an appointment?"

Hu Pingtao nodded: "Instead of covering up some things, it's better to clarify them face to face. Your divorce was caused by Xu Ling. You occupy the moral high ground on this issue, and we can help you speak by the side .As long as you control your emotions and pay attention to the rhythm of your speech, you should be able to find out her weaknesses and further analyze her true purpose."

Congrui made up her mind, and she took out her mobile phone from her bag: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

……

This time happened to be meal time.

Half an hour later, Xu Ling came to the restaurant as scheduled and walked into the private room.

When she opened the door and entered, she saw so many people sitting in the room, her lips parted slightly, and she let out an unexpected "ah".

Seeing this, Hu Pingtao subconsciously stood up from his chair, his heart full of shock.

It was her!

Xu Ling swept her eyes along the crowd, first fixed on Cong Rui for a moment, then turned to Hu Pingtao, and never moved again.

The word "you" with a huge exclamation mark flashed in their minds almost at the same time.

Cong Rui stood up, pretending nothing happened, and introduced everyone present with a smile.

When it was Hu Pingtao's turn, Xu Ling looked at him steadily, with a slightly more relaxed expression than before, and said flatly, "I didn't expect you to be here."

Hu Pingtao smiled casually: "I didn't expect you to be Cong Rui's friend."

Ding Jian and the others were stunned for a moment.

Cong Rui looked at Xu Ling, then at Hu Pingtao, and asked in surprise, "Do you know each other?"

Hu Pingtao nodded: "I've seen it before, but I'm not very familiar with it."

Su Xiaolin was also surprised by this, and walked slowly to Hu Pingtao, hugged his arm subconsciously, and asked in a low voice, "How do you know her?"

Hu Pingtao opened his mouth and was about to speak, when he suddenly felt that it was really hard to talk about it.

When she was embarrassed, Xu Ling who was standing opposite asked lightly, "Are you married?"

Hu Pingtao met her gaze and replied calmly: "Yes."

The expression on Xu Ling's face was somewhat sarcastic: "I didn't see it! Your wife is quite beautiful."

She made no secret of the sneer in her words.

Hearing these words, the burden in Hu Pingtao's heart disappeared instantly.He shook his head in a self-deprecating manner, pulled his arm out of Su Xiaolin's arms, put his arms around her shoulders, and pushed her down on the chair next to her.

The atmosphere in the room was a little chilly.

Ding Jian watched Xu Ling walk slowly to the empty seat next to Congrui and sat down, turned his head to look at Hu Pingtao, eager to try, and asked hesitantly: "Tiger, what's going on?"

Hu Pingtao had already let go of his heart, and he explained with a loud smile: "The year I just graduated from university, I came to the provincial capital, passed the exam as an auxiliary police officer, and worked at the Eryuan Road Police Station. The No. [-] Flour Factory is in the jurisdiction of the police station. The employee's name is Zheng Yuxian, he is very enthusiastic, and introduced me to my girlfriend...here, that's her."

As he spoke, he raised his finger to Xu Ling.

Many years have passed, and compared to that time, Xu Ling has changed a lot—long hair has become short, and her previously plump figure has become bloated, with a visual weight of at least [-] kilograms.The skin is still very fair, but it can be seen that there is a thick foundation on the face.The clothes are clean and of ordinary style.

Su Xiaolin squeezed Hu Pingtao's arm hard, and said quietly: "I didn't expect you to have such an experience."

Hu Pingtao moved closer to her ear, his voice was so low that only each other could hear: "I can't help it, I'm handsome! I'm a good person and I like helping the elderly. I didn't know you at that time, so I just..."

Su Xiaolin gritted her teeth, and increased the strength in her hand: "You said you are fat, and you are still out of breath?"

The two were fighting in low voices here, while Xu Ling frowned as she watched from across the table.
