Chapter 49 I Won't Let You Worry About This Anymore

Seeing Ning Xia's embarrassed expression, Xu Jie leaned close to the phone and whispered:
"Manager Lin, this is Xu Jie. If you have any clues related to the case, thank you for cooperating with the police. I am all ears, or you can have an interview."

On the other side of the phone, Lin Chengtian paused for almost 30 seconds and chuckled:

"It turns out you are still in a meeting, so I won't interrupt you. You can go about your business."

After saying that, Lin Chengtian hung up the phone and his phone beeped.

Ning Xia looked at Xu Jie, and the two looked at each other, and the atmosphere was a little heated.

After a while, Ningxia spoke first:
"Captain Xu, do you think Lin Chengtian's words are credible?"

Both of them had turned their attention to the content of Lin Chengtian's phone call just now. Xu Jie thought for a moment:
"Li Wenrui is the operations director of Tianqi Investment and Financial Management Company, and Lin Chengtian is the CEO of Huanyu Securities Investment Fund Company. It cannot be ruled out that the two people have business dealings and are acquaintances."

"And Li Wenrui's wife, according to Lin Chengtian, is also from their financial circle."

"Tomorrow, tomorrow we will know the truth."

"If Lin Chengtian's words are to be believed, is Li Wenrui's murder related to his wife?"

Xu Jie has already gotten over the unhappiness of Lin Chengtian's call. Ning Xia's attitude is very clear, and Xu Jie also laughs at his unknown anger.

"It's just that Lin Chengtian told you these things..."

Ningxia looked at Xu Jie quietly:

"Captain Xu, please believe me."

Xu Jie smiled, and the light in the living room shone on Ning Xia's face, with a hint of uneasiness in the tranquility.

Xu Jie reached out and rubbed Ning Xia's head:
"I am a man and your captain. I will not let you worry about this matter again."

Xu Jie's big hands slid all the way down Ning Xia's soft hair, and he even had the urge to hold Ning Xia in his arms.

This is his Xu Jie's girl.

However, seeing Ning Xia hugging her knees with her hands and eyes lowered, Xu Jie retracted his hands.

Ning Xia's heart was beating fast and she didn't dare to move. She felt her face, ears, and whole body were heating up. She lowered her eyes and didn't dare to look at Xu Jie.

The only sound left in the room was the beating hearts of two people.

Ningxia's phone rang again, it was a video invitation from her mother, Yang Meilan.

Ningxia looked around in fright, Xu Jie stood up:
"I'll go to the kitchen and cut some fruit for you."

Looking at Xu Jie's back, Ning Xia cleared her throat and picked up the phone.

"where?"

Yang Meilan was rarely at home, lying on the sofa in home clothes.

"Discussing the case..."

"Still at get off work?"

"After get off work, let's discuss it at home."

"Is there another case?"

Yang Meilan has a headache:

"You haven't been in the criminal investigation team for a long time. Why does mom feel like you are investigating cases every day?"

"Not at all."

Ningxia could see Xu Jie's tall back cutting fruit in the kitchen, and felt a little warm in her heart.

"How are you? How are you with the team lately?"

"okay."

"Is Captain Xu okay with you? You need to study more and show off your strength elsewhere."

Ning Xia was so panicked that she almost threw the phone away. When Xu Jie heard this, he turned and looked at Ning Xia with a smile on his face.

"I know, Mom, it's rare for you to take a break and watch TV. I still have to discuss my case, so let's not talk about it for now."

"Well, pay attention to your health. The work unit is not as good as the school. If something happens, please ask Team Xu for instructions. I will fail."

After Yang Meilan finished speaking, she hung up the phone.

Ningxia was at a loss while holding the phone and quickly explained to Xu Jie:

"My mother, she doesn't know Captain Xu is here."

"I'm very happy. At least your mother knows that I, Xu Jie, exist in this world."

Xu Jie carried the fruit plate and walked to Ning Xia and sat down again, holding up the plate to signal Ning Xia to take action.

Ningxia picked up a piece of apple and put it into his mouth. Xu Jie asked:

"Ningxia, I want to be with you for a long time. I said I will wait for your answer. During this period, you should be yourself. Don't panic. Stay with me. I hope you will be happier and experience the life you did not have before. .”

Ning Xia's dark eyes stared at Xu Jie.

"Lin Chengtian has been contacting you, I can't say, but as a man, as a man pursuing you, I am very angry, but I don't want you to be embarrassed."

"Captain Xu."

"Well, I understand."

Ningxia interrupted Xu Jie:

"No, Captain Xu, you don't understand. I have always been disgusted with Lin Chengtian's frequent contact with me."

After speaking, Ningxia asked Xu Jie:

"Captain Xu, can you tell me what's going on between you and Lin Chengtian?"

"Why do you ask?"

Xu Jie pursed his lips slightly, changed his sitting position, stretched his legs and sat next to Ning Xia.

"Then I tell the truth?"

Xu Jie looked at Ningxia inquiringly.

"I don't think Lin Chengtian is pursuing me. Lin Chengtian's approach to me should have something to do with Captain Xu."

Xu Jie was obviously surprised.

"Why did Lin Chengtian leave the criminal investigation team?"

Xu Jie raised his head and looked at the ceiling, and finally said quietly:

"It's not that I want to hide it from you. Only a few people know about this matter. It's not a secret. If you ask that, Lin Chengtian has always been dissatisfied with me since he joined the police force."

Lin Chengtian's inexplicable hostility every time he faced Xu Jie appeared in Ningxia's mind.

"why?"

"No one likes others to be better than themselves. Lin Chengtian joined the police force a year earlier than me. He should have more desire for the position of captain than me."

Ningxia somewhat understands the relationship between the two people.

"Later, during a mission... I think you can understand. Later, Lin Chengtian took the initiative to resign. He said that being a policeman was hard work and he didn't make any money."

"So the last time we had dinner was just to show off?"

Xu Jie smiled:

"Absolutely. A successful man's idea of ​​himself is probably like Lin Chengtian."

Xu Jie was calm, and Ningxia didn't notice at all that Xu Jie's evaluation of Lin Chengtian was that he had a successful career.

In Xu Jie's heart, Lin Chengtian should no longer be the same person, and Xu Jie didn't bother to compare with him.

"Tell me again, why do you think Lin Chengtian contacted you because of me?"

Ningxia Youyou said:
"Feel it, gut feeling."

"We don't think it's good for us to be criminal police. Evidence must speak for itself in everything."

Ning Xia smiled, and the atmosphere between the two relaxed. Ning Xia felt very comfortable.

"Captain Xu, no matter what happens next time, I will report to Captain Xu about Lin Chengtian."

Xu Jie lowered his head and waved his hands, actually feeling very happy.

However, Ningxia's statement that Lin Chengtian contacted Ningxia frequently because of himself made Xu Jie feel ripples in his heart.

Xu Jie took this matter to heart.

After sending Ning Xia home, Xu Jie walked alone in the community and sat on a bench in the community. Xu Jie thought about the arrest operation that year.

Especially when he saw Police Officer Li's arm being injured, Xu Jie still remembered the mood he felt at that time.

Unexpectedly, Lin Chengtian would still be unwilling to leave the police force?If Lin Chengtian hadn't acted in advance without authorization, how could the arrest operation have failed?
Regarding this result, Lin Chengtian did not reflect on it and was still brooding about it?

Inadvertently, the cigarette in Xu Jie's hand burned to the end. Xu Jie suddenly extinguished the cigarette butt.

As Ning Xia said, what does Lin Chengtian want to do?

What makes Xu Jie even more uneasy is that Lin Chengzhen is really an enthusiastic and good citizen, actively providing clues to the police to solve the case?

Xu Jie asked himself, and the final answer was no. Xu Jie didn't believe Lin Chengtian.
