Chapter 88 You Are So Valiant! (1/2)
Li Hong hurries to open the door, and Fu Zhengzheng closes her eyes for rest.
“Hello, we are from the gas company. Please report your gas usage.” A man’s voice is ringing outside.
“OK.” Li Hong turns and runs to the kitchen.
Fu Zhengzheng suddenly opens her eyes—Yang Tao?
Seeing Li Hong coming out of the kitchen, Fu Zhengzheng deliberately raises her voices and says, “Aunt Li, please go to the supermarket and buy some fresh vegetables, and some fruit, but don’t buy too much. Anyway, only two of us are at home.”
“OK, OK.” Li Hong immediately answers. After reporting the gas usage, she goes out with a recycle bag in her hand.
She quickly gets up and goes to the door. Sure enough, two minutes later, there is a knock on the door again, and she hurries to open the door.
A man in a hat comes in quickly, and it is Yang Tao.
“Are you okay, Zhengzheng?” Yang Tao grabs Fu Zhengzheng’s arm and asks in a hurry, while looking her up and down with great concern.
Fu Zhengzheng smiles as if nothing had happened, answering, “I just fell down accidently. It is just a minor bruise, and it doesn’t matter.”
“I have known all about it.” Yang Tao looks at her worriedly.
In the morning, he heard several police officers chat, “This woman named Fu Zhengzheng is really remarkable. She beat such a big wolfhound like this!”
He was shocked to hear that. After finding out what happened, he rushed to look for her, but didn’t find her in several places. He came to Jiaye Garden just to try his luck, but he didn’t expect that she was really here.
“I am really all right. It is just a minor bruise.” Fu Zhengzheng pretends to laugh lightly.
Yang Tao is relieved when he makes sure that Fu Zhengzheng is all right.
“Are you sure you don't know the owner of the dog?”
“No.”
“I see.” Yang Tao nods and looks at Fu Zhengzheng. He wants to say something but hesitates.
“What’s the problem?” Fu Zhengzheng feels strange.
Yang Tao shakes his head and suddenly says, “Zhengzheng, I am sorry.”
“Why did you say sorry?” Fu Zhengzheng feels stranger.
“I have reported your affairs to the leader, namely your relationship with Han Siqi.” Yang Tao apologizes, “Sorry, I can’t hide it anymore.”
Fu Zhengzheng smiles and says, “It is okay. What kind of punishment did the bureau prescribe for me?”
Even if Yang Tao didn’t report it, she will confess it when she comes back to the bureau. It is the truth.
“No, I said you were injured, so the leader gave you two months for rest, and asked you to come back to the team after dealing with your personal affairs during the two months.”
Fu Zhengzheng can’t believe it, asking, “He didn’t punish me but gave me two months for rest?”
“Yes, take care of these things, and we will wait for you to come back.” Yang Tao nods. Looking at the time, he gets up and is about to leave.
“Did he really not punish me?”
“When did I lie to you?” Yang Tao answers with a smile. When he goes to the door, he stops and says after hesitating for a moment, “Zhengzheng, I am assigned to take charge of a new case, and I will be busy these days, so I probably can’t take care of you. You should pay attention to your own safety.”
Fu Zhengzheng immediately asks, “A new case? Is there another major case?”
“It is not a major case, but it is a little far from you. Take good care of yourself and call me when you need me.” Yang Tao understates it. Then he looks at Fu Zhengzheng affectionately and then leaves lonely.
Looking at the closed door, Fu Zhengzheng feels that her heart is churning.
She knew that her relationship with Han Siqi was ambiguous, but she insisted on investigating the case. Besides, she ignored the rules of the team and repeatedly looked for excuses for not returning. The police station is not her home, and the leader is not blind, so how can she not be punished and even get a holiday?
Yang Tao said he had a new task. Needless to guess, she knows that he must have been demoted to a remote place to be punished, and he must have blamed himself for all these mistakes.
She knows all his concern and tolerance, care and loss for her.
But what else can she say besides “sorry”?
Previously, she wanted to find the key of the small vault to help him render meritorious service, but now she gets him into trouble instead!
She goes back to her room and lies down with her thoughts in confusion.
After lunch, Zhu Linglong comes.
Seeing the wounds on Fu Zhengzheng’s face, Zhu Linglong is shocked. “Siqi told me that you fought with a dog, and I thought he was kidding! I didn’t expect it to be true! Zhengzheng, how big the dog was? It hurt you like this!”
Fu Zhengzheng makes a gesture to show the shape of the dog, and Zhu Linglong is immediately stunned, exclaiming, “So big a dog? Is it a wolfhound or a Tibetan mastiff? Zhengzheng, you are so valiant!”
“Thanks to the crutches you gave me, otherwise, I would be buried in the belly of the dog.” Fu Zhengzheng says with a light smile.
“Bah, bah! What improper remarks you have made!” Zhu Linglong immediately stops her and holds her hand, saying with great concern, “Zhengzheng, your luck is so bad these days! When your foot gets better, I will take you to Jingming Temple in the south of the city to burn incense to drive away bad luck.”
“Burning incense? It won’t work even if Guanyin is standing on the top of my head. An unfortunate man would be drowned in a tea-cup.” Besides, she spends every day with Han Siqi, the bad luck in her life. It is weird for her to have good luck!
“You should believe that out of the depth of misfortune comes bliss!” Then Zhu Linglong goes to the living room and takes the medicine bag, asking, “Have you taken medicine?”
