”That's not the only reason why I refused to take part. It's also because I won't get to live in freedom for at least a few months once the operation commences. I don't want to be away from the person whom I want to see every day.”
Ma Jianguo chuckled and said, ”I totally understand. Team Leader Zhang wishes so hard that you would go, because that way, the Serious Crimes Investigation Unit wouldn't appear incompetent compared to us.”
”It's too bad his wishes won't come true. I'll be taking a day off tomorrow.”
”That means we'll have to run errands for the Serious Crimes Investigation Unit…” Ma Jianguo turned to see that Pan Zhenghui was walking towards them. He then pleaded, ”Team Leader, please tell Chief to give us a day off too. Zu Dong still has to visit his mother at the hospital and help his father take care of her. Gong Le and I need to rest too.”
Thinking that her colleagues ought to get some rest too, An Xiaoning agreed, ”I'll tell him about it. No promises that he'll agree though.”
”Thank you, Team Leader,” Ma Jianguo said, grinning from ear to ear.
”Chief… I won't be coming in tomorrow. Do allow Officer Ma, Zu Dong, and Gong Le to take a day off too,” An Xiaoning said to Pan Zhenghui.
”But we're short of manpower at the Serious Crimes Investigation Unit. They'll have to report there whenever you're not around,” Pan Zhenghui said in disagreement.
”Chief, I just think that since we're a team and work together all the time, it won't be fair for me to take a day off while they continue to work.” Noticing that Pan Zhenghui was hestitating, An Xiaoning added, ”The Serious Crimes Investigation Unit's efficiency in solving cases can't be compared to us at all. I can't say that it's all my hard work alone, they've contributed greatly too. It's not fair to make them work the same hours as the other officers who don't perform as efficiently.”
”Team Leader An, I see you're pleading on behalf of your members. Alright, I'll allow them to take a break whenever you do,” Pan Zhenghui answered smilingly.
Ma Jianguo hugged Pan Zhenghui in exhilaration and thanked him profusely. ”Chief, thank you so much.”
”You ought to thank your team leader, not me.”Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
”Yes, yes, right.”
Extremely agitated, Ma Jianguo extended his arms in a bid to hug An Xiaoning, who quickly dodged and said, ”You don't have to hug me. Just continue to work hard. Do inform the two of them as well.”
”Of course.”
An Xiaoning then walked towards her car and unlocked the door with her keys before hopping in.
Just as she revved up the engine, she felt a gun being held against her temple.
Staring at the rear mirror while remaining composed, she said, ”You did this the previous time. Are you really going to use the same method again?”
”As long as it works, does it matter how many times I use it? Didn't think we'd meet again so soon, did you?” Xi Bolai answered with a smirk.
