Chapter 456 Lively
"Hey, Captain, please sit down and rest your feet. I'll pour you a cup of hot water. I don't know what's going on with the weather. It's been snowing for several days..."
Guo Tao picked up the kettle and immediately poured water for Wei Sheng.
Wei Sheng glanced at Chen Zhong and asked while holding the hot water:
"Who is this guy?"
Guo Tao was still worried that Chen Zhong would be exposed, so he looked up and saw Chen Zhong huddled in a corner with hot water in his hands.
He turned around and immediately said to Wei Sheng:
"Captain of the Guard, it's freezing cold, and it's no big deal for a stranger to ask for a cup of hot water."
After listening to this, Wei Sheng didn't care. This was indeed something Guo Tao would do. He was a good man.
After all, he even picked up an abandoned baby and raised him as his own child.
Wei Sheng didn't care, he suddenly talked about Lin Ruotang,
"Is Lin Ruotang still buying books from you?"
"Buy it!"
Guo Tao said, looking at Dongsheng and said:
"When I came here two days ago, I brought Dongsheng a jacket made of the finest cotton."
Dongsheng sucked his thumb and tilted his head to look at the man.
Wei Sheng looked away and asked Guo Tao,
"I heard you're not from this place. Where are you from? How many people are there in your family? Why are you raising a child by yourself? Where's your wife? Isn't she raising your child?"
Guo Tao's eyes suddenly turned red, and his lips trembled a few times.
"I have a wife and children!"
"Why don't you stay around and enjoy yourself?"
Wei Sheng took a sip of hot water and asked a question. When he looked up, he saw Guo Tao's tears falling.
"I have a wife and children. When Japan implemented the "Three Alls" policy in our territory, my family and my village were..."
He couldn't continue speaking here, and choked up and said,
"I was the only one who escaped the disaster while doing business outside..."
Guo Tao did not lie, but he went there not to do business, but to carry out a mission.
Hearing this, Wei Sheng's eyes darkened and the atmosphere in the whole room became heavy.
At this moment, Lin Ruotang came in from outside and whispered,
"Boss Guo, do you have hot water..."
Lin Ruotang glanced at Chen Zhong who was hiding in the corner, then saw Wei Sheng sitting there. She smiled and said:
"What day is it today? Why are so many people coming to Boss Guo's house asking for hot water?"
Guo Tao wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve and immediately poured hot water for Lin Ruotang.
Lin Ruotang was holding the hot water, and when she saw Guo Tao was in a bad mood, the smile on her face faded.
"Captain Wei, what are you doing? Why is Boss Guo crying?"
Wei Sheng put down the hot water, stood up and said:
"This is my business, Inspector Lin, you have no right to interfere..."
After hearing this, Lin Ruotang snorted and laughed.
"That's right. How can I be as important as the captain of the guard? I'm just a small inspector. I think the secret inspection team in the spring of next year will definitely be interested in our Tianjin Station..."
Upon hearing Lin Ruotang's revelation, Wei Sheng winked at the others, and they all stood far away. Wei Sheng asked curiously:
"How does Inspector Lin know so much?"
He was really curious. Lin Ruotang had no background, but now he knew about the undercover team earlier than himself. It seemed that there was something behind it.
Seeing this, Lin Ruotang smiled and said:
"What? I don't have any friends? I go to so many meetings, do you think I just play around every time?"
Seeing that no one else was paying attention to him, Chen Zhong was about to slip away when another group of people came in from the door.
When he saw this person, Chen Zhongxin brought it up.
Chen Linqiong just saw Lin Ruotang. Seeing that she had been in the bookstore for a long time, she couldn't help but follow her. As soon as she entered the room, she found that there were many people there, and Lin Ruotang and Wei Sheng were talking.
She glanced at the man next to her and saw that he was dressed in a rustic manner. She turned her gaze towards Wei Sheng and Lin Ruotang.
"What a coincidence, Inspector Lin."
She nodded slightly to Wei Sheng, as if she was very familiar with him.
"Brother Wei Sheng!"
Lin Ruotang has always been very courageous. She stared at Wei Sheng with a playful look on her face.
"Hey, since when did Captain Wei and Miss Chen become so close that they even called me over?"
Wei Sheng had his own plans in mind. He was already old and had to get married. Chen Linqiong came from an outstanding family. If the marriage worked out, he would not only have his uncle but also a capable father-in-law. His future would be bright.
He looked at Chen Linqiong and forced the corners of his mouth to make himself smile gently, but it looked weird no matter how he looked at it.
Lin Ruotang laughed beside him.
"Captain Wei, please stop smiling at Miss Chen like that. Miss Chen is scared!"
Chen Linqiong looked away and changed the subject:
"What is Inspector Lin doing here?"
"To buy books, of course? Otherwise, why would you come to the bookstore?"
After Lin Ruotang finished speaking, she walked towards Guo Tao and the two of them started talking in low voices.
Chen Linqiong looked at Wei Sheng, but before she could ask, Wei Sheng spoke.
"I'm here on a mission. What about you? Why are you out in this cold? And no news from your uncle yet?"
Chen Linqiong looked worried and said:
"That's right, Grandpa is getting thinner and thinner!"
Chen Zhong, who was listening nearby, froze and lowered his head even more, fearing that Chen Linqiong would see him.
Lin Ruotang took a few books, teased Dongsheng, and then left.
Watching Lin Ruotang leave, Chen Linqiong remembered something and turned to ask Wei Sheng,
"How long have Deputy Station Chief Xie and Inspector Lin been married? Why haven't we seen their child?"
When Guo Tao heard this, he turned his body slightly and glanced at Chen Linqiong calmly. Why did this young lady from the Chen family ask this question?
Wei Sheng looked puzzled.
"They've been married for a long time. Who knows why they don't want children? Maybe one of them is infertile!"
After he finished speaking, he was dissatisfied with Chen Linqiong's constant questions about Xie Wuwei, and he said sourly:
"Ms. Chen cares about Deputy Station Chief Xie, but don't forget he's married. Besides, Lin Ruotang isn't someone you can easily mess with. And when I went to the Station Chief's office today, I heard him say you're not even as good as Inspector Lin!"
After Wei Sheng finished speaking, Chen Linqiong's face fell. She was angry that Wei Sheng couldn't speak, and she was also angry at Xie Wuwei's look for saying such things to her.
Wei Sheng regretted it as soon as he finished speaking. Seeing Chen Linqiong's unhappy expression, he immediately added:
"Of course, that's because Xie Wuwei is blind. Of course, I think Lin Ruotang is not even a finger away from Miss Chen!"
Chen Linqiong became angrier the more she listened. Who wants to compete with Lin Ruotang!
She restrained her emotions and said to Wei Sheng coldly:
"Then I'll go back first and not disturb you anymore."
Seeing this, Wei Sheng knew that this investigation would not be completed in a short time. He did not find anything fishy today, so he was ready to please this rich lady. Wei Sheng immediately said,
"Miss Chen, I'll take you there!"
Seeing Chen Linqiong nod proudly, Wei Sheng laughed and immediately said:
"My uncle called your father..."
Hearing this, Chen Linqiong felt annoyed. Her father actually thought Wei Sheng was not bad. The key was that his family background was much better than Xie Wuwei's. Her father hinted that she should find a good man to marry. Xie Wuwei could be a lover...
Of course she was unwilling to do so. It wasn't that she had any moral constraints. It was simply that after falling in love with a man like Xie Wuwei, she couldn't stand Wei Sheng at all.
He is not as handsome as Xie Wuwei, nor does he hold a high position like Xie Wuwei. He does not know how to deal with people, and even his methods of doing things are far inferior to Xie Wuwei.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Xie Wuwei was a perfect candidate for a husband. She thought that maybe she could find a way to make her father no longer pay attention to this stupid Wei Sheng!
She thought about it in her mind and felt that it was feasible, but the most important thing was to let Lin Ruotang divorce him so that she could save her face.
When she was about to leave, she saw Chen Zhong in the corner. Looking at the man's facial features and profile, she felt that he looked familiar.
