The Secret to Picking Up Girls

The policeman's gaze swept across the faces of the four girls, then settled on Zhang Yuze beside them. He nodded slightly and said, "Yes, that's right. We're here to check your temporary residence permits."

"Temporary residence permit?" Lan Xiaotong asked, puzzled.

Chen Liqiong nodded and smiled at the policemen. "That's right, we're students from Tianze Art Academy. Our household registrations are all here, so we don't need temporary residence permits."

The policemen nodded slightly, then their eyes fell on Zhang Yuze. One of them smiled coldly and asked, "What about him?"

"Uh…!" Now, Lan Xiaotong and Chen Liqiong were dumbfounded. Zhang Yuze had lost his memory. How could he possibly have a household registration? Even if he did, they couldn't find it! But now the police were at their door. Even if they told them Zhang Yuze had amnesia, the policemen probably wouldn't believe it! Because such a coincidence was too unlikely.

Chen Liqiong and Lan Xiaotong were both getting anxious. If they didn't explain clearly to the police, Zhang Yuze might be in trouble. After all, this was the capital city, and the control of the foreign population was very strict. If Zhang Yuze's identity was unclear, he would probably be taken away by the police.

Although anxious, Chen Liqiong forced herself to remain calm and said to the policeman, "That's right, Officer. He is our friend, but he lost his memory a few days ago due to an accident, so now he doesn't even know who he is."

"What, lost his memory?" The leading policeman smiled faintly, looked at Chen Liqiong, and said, "Miss, do you think this is a TV show or a movie? It's almost May Day, and our capital has stepped up its security整治, so we absolutely cannot condone people of unknown origin. We have to take him back for investigation. I hope you understand."

As he spoke, the policeman gave a look to the police officers beside him.

The policemen grabbed Zhang Yuze's shoulders, about to take coercive measures against him.

"Hold on…" Zhang Yuze waved his hand to the side. Although the two policemen looked tall and strong, they were pushed back, step by step, by Zhang Yuze's wave. They looked at Zhang Yuze in surprise. Obviously, they didn't expect Zhang Yuze to look not very burly, but to be quite strong.

The leading policeman frowned and looked at Zhang Yuze with some dissatisfaction. "What? Do you want to resist us?"

Zhang Yuze smiled faintly and said, "Why do you say that? I'll go back with you. It's just a temporary residence permit. It's not a big deal. Why do you have to make such a fuss! Anyone who didn't know would think I was a heinous criminal…"

The leading policeman looked at Zhang Yuze deeply, nodded, and said, "Very good, it's good that you walk on your own accord." As he spoke, the policeman waved to the police officers beside him, his expression stern. "Take him away."

Chen Liqiong, Lan Xiaotong, Ye Wenjuan, and Cai Wenhui were very anxious when they saw Zhang Yuze being taken away by the police, but after all, they were just ordinary students, and there was nothing they could do.

Except for Chen Liqiong, Ye Wenjuan, Cai Wenhui, and Lan Xiaotong had been with Zhang Yuze for several days, and they had developed a great affection for him. Now that they saw Zhang Yuze being taken away, they were very anxious. Lan Xiaotong held Chen Liqiong's hand tightly and said, "Liqiong, Ashui has been taken away by the police. You're usually the most resourceful. What should we do now?"

Although Chen Liqiong's expression looked calm, she was even more anxious than the other girls. She frowned and said, "That's not right. I always feel like something's not right here."

Lan Xiaotong sighed and said to Chen Liqiong, "Liqiong, what time is it? You're still worried about what's not right. We're about to die of anxiety."

Chen Liqiong shook her head and said, "No, but haven't you noticed? This time the police came seems a bit strange! We've lived here for so long, and the police have never come to our door. Now that Ashui has only been here for a few days, how could the police come so coincidentally? Also, didn't you see just now that those police officers didn't verify our identities at all? It seemed like they were here specifically for Ashui."

Lan Xiaotong heard this and clapped her hands. "Could it be that Ashui offended some enemy, and then they came to our door?"

Chen Liqiong shook her head and said, "That doesn't seem like it. Ashui has lost his memory. Where would he have any enemies? And if it was really his former enemies who found him, they would have come directly to our door. Why would they go through the police? Wouldn't that be a bit troublesome?"

Lan Xiaotong listened to Chen Liqiong's analysis and suddenly felt that what she said seemed to make a lot of sense. Lan Xiaotong also thought carefully for a while, and then said to Chen Liqiong, "According to what you said, I also feel like something is a bit strange, because the people who would use this kind of method to cause trouble should have some status in the government agency."

Chen Liqiong slowly calmed down and asked Lan Xiaotong, "Xiaotong, you saw the policeman's identification just now. Now, which branch bureau was that policeman from?"

Lan Xiaotong heard this, thought for a while, and said, "It seems like it was from the district branch bureau."

"District branch bureau?" Chen Liqiong frowned, because if it was really from the district branch bureau, then the policeman's background was probably not small. Although Chen Liqiong and others were not people within the system, they also knew that the capital, as a municipality directly under the central government, generally had agencies one level higher than those in other places. Although it was only a district branch bureau, it was already equivalent to a municipal public security bureau in other places.

"Who is it? So unethical." Lan Xiaotong couldn't help but mutter.

Suddenly, Ye Wenjuan seemed to have remembered something and exclaimed, "Could it be him?"

Chen Liqiong looked at Ye Wenjuan and said, "You're talking about…"

"Ye Jianxiong… Only he has the motive and ability." Ye Wenjuan said confidently.

Lan Xiaotong beside her nodded and said, "That's right, now that you say that, I also think he might be the most suspicious person. Isn't he the director of the Development and Reform Commission? I think it wouldn't be easy for him to find a few policemen to come to our door to cause trouble, would it?"

Chen Liqiong nodded solemnly and said, "I thought of him just now. It's indeed very possible… This person's scheming is really too deep."

Lan Xiaotong looked at Chen Liqiong with some anxiety and said, "Liqiong, if it's really him, then what should we do? We're all outsiders in the capital. We don't have any connections here! Otherwise, let's go to the public security bureau to find those policemen and see if we can find a way to get him out."

Chen Liqiong sighed and shook her head at Lan Xiaotong. "It's no use for us to go now. If they really found the police to cause trouble for us, going there would only be humiliating."

Lan Xiaotong said impatiently, "This won't work, that won't work, then we can't just do nothing, right!"

Chen Liqiong shook her head and said, "I can find someone. I think she should have a way to help me."

Lan Xiaotong, Ye Wenjuan, and Cai Wenhui all looked at Chen Liqiong curiously and said, "You're talking about?"

Zheng Linlin had not married in the past twenty years and had been single. It was not for any other reason. After eating the Youth Pill, her appearance and body had remained in this state, so for her, time was not a problem. As Zhang Yuze's daughter, her lifespan was too long. Another very important reason was that Zheng Linlin was greatly influenced by her father. Although over the years, the boys who admired her could line up from Nanmin to the capital, she didn't like any of them. In her heart, she always liked to compare the boys who pursued her with her father, but unfortunately, it was okay not to compare, but once she compared, she realized that the boys who pursued her, although they were handsome, and there were many people who looked better than her father, they uniquely lacked one very important thing, that is, they didn't have the kind of masculinity that her father showed. This was what Zheng Linlin couldn't stand.

For her, it didn't matter what the other person looked like or what their family background was, but they had to have the kind of masculinity that would make them go forward despite thousands of people.

"Sister, are you still thinking about Dad?" Zhang Mingyue walked behind Zheng Linlin and gently hugged her waist.

"Yes, Dad has been gone for more than twenty years. Sometimes I'm really afraid, very afraid that I won't see Dad again." As she spoke, Zheng Linlin's tears instantly welled up in her eyes.

"Sister, don't cry. If you cry, I can't help but cry too. You're still good. I was only one year old when I was separated from Dad. If I didn't see the photo, I wouldn't even know what Dad looked like. That's painful." As Zhang Mingyue spoke, she couldn't help but choke up.

Just as the two women were sad, a clear phone rang. It turned out that Zheng Linlin's phone rang.
