C165 (1/2)
When Ling Chen returned to the police station, there weren't many people in the station. She walked straight to Yan Qirui's office and saw him sitting at his desk. Lifting his head and glancing at Jian Fan, Yan Qili gestured for Jian Fan to sit down before pushing a document in front of Jian Fan.
”Xiaofan.” Yan Qirui said, ”Zhou Tong is back.”
”I know.” Jane Fan nodded, ”Uncle Yan, this is the reason why I came to find you.”
”You want us to help you hide the truth?” Yan Qirui asked. Seeing the hesitation in Jian Fan's eyes, he said, ”Xiaofan, Zhou Tong can't stay in our police station any longer.” I'm preparing to transfer her to the Sha Lai district's sub-bureau. Isn't her relationship with Ye Han good? With Ye Han taking care of her, you should be able to rest at ease. ”
”No, Uncle Yan.” Jian Fan shook his head and looked at Yan Qirui's surprised expression. He licked his lips and said after a long while, ”Uncle Yan, Tongtong obviously knows more about this than what we want her to know. If we had rashly transferred her, she might have thought we suspected her of having something to do with her father's murder. At that time, I'm afraid she will choose to resign! ”
”Well, opting to resign is also a good idea.” Yan Qirui looked at Jian Fan. ”Xiaofan, although the police didn't ask for the police officers' families not to commit crimes. However, if the police are unable to break away from her criminal relatives, they will have to be transferred to other civilian positions or be persuaded to leave! ”
”Uncle Yan.” Jane Fan looked at Yan Qirui, ”I don't want Tongtong to leave. If she leaves the station, she'll have nothing. ”
”Then, let her go to the sandbank!” Yan Qirui gave the order and looked at Jian Fan. ”Xiaofan, this is the only choice.”
”Then Uncle Yan, the people from the Bureau won't tell Zhou Tong the truth, right?” Jian Fan didn't want Zhou Tong to know that her father was in such a terrible situation, and he also didn't want her to know that her father had come looking for him, but he didn't have the time to protect her father.
”Nope.” Yan Qirui promised that the police officers were loyal and confidential as their first rule, and that no one would divulge any information about the prisoner to anyone.
Jian Fan heaved a sigh of relief. He smiled gratefully at Yan Qirui and picked up the buzzing phone.
”Uncle Yan, Tongtong is awake.” Seeing the letter on his phone, Jian Fan frowned.
”I'll go with you to see her.” Yan Qirui drove Jian Fan to the hospital in his car. Jian Fan wore a faint smile on his face, while Yan Qirui's originally icy and imposing face now had traces of gentleness on it.
The hospital was very quiet. When Jian Fan and the others arrived outside Zhou Tong's room, they could only hear her shallow breathing and the cold sigh of the night.
”Big brother?” Jian Fan said. Ye Han walked up to the door and opened it.
Only then did Jian Fan and the others manage to take a good look at her. Her face was deathly pale and she seemed to have realized something. She bit her lips and felt like she was about to cry.
”Ye Han, come with me!” Yan Qirui called Ye Han away, leaving only Jian Fan and Zhou Tong in the room.
Jian Fan closed the door, poured a cup of water, and placed it beside Zhou Tong, ”Tongtong, where did you go? Why did you return so late? ”
”Little Fan …” Zhou Tong looked up at Jian Fan, tears streaming down his face.
Jian Fan panicked and immediately wiped her tears away with a tissue. However, Zhou Tong's tears seemed to be unable to be wiped clean as they soaked the paper. Only when the fifth piece of paper was completely soaked did she sniff and retract her tears.
Jian Fan let out a long breath, ”Tongtong, are you alright?”
”I'm fine.” Zhou Tong's eyes were filled with desolation. If her father wasn't here anymore, then how much better could she be?
”Yes.” You have to take care of your body. This time, you're not going back, right? ” This time, when Zhou Tong came back, she actually felt like she was running out of words. The two of them had been giggling and talking, but now that they were sitting across from each other, she had to consider how to use words. This kind of low-pressure atmosphere made her feel somewhat uncomfortable.
”I'm not leaving!” Zhou Tong shook her head and began crying in Jian Fan's arms, ”Xiaofan, why? Why? Why did my father come back? And why would he die in the land where I work? If I had cared more about him, he probably wouldn't have been killed, would he? ”
Zhou Tong cried until her voice was hoarse, every word was like a knife stabbing into Jian Fan's heart.
If she had made people pay more attention to Zhou Fu, he might not have died in a foreign land, and Tongtong might not have lost her closest family member.
”Tongtong. A person cannot be revived. ” Jian Fan patted Zhou Tong's shoulder, repeating the words that she felt pale.
Zhou Tong couldn't respond to her, and could only cry. Right now, she was no different from the girl who had just received the news. She was powerless and could only use her tears to pay tribute to her unfortunate father!
Zhou Tong cried very sorrowfully, while Jian Fan's nose was extremely sore.
She hugged Zhou Tong. Many times she wanted to cry with her, but in the end she sniffed to calm herself down.
Tongtong's mental state was currently very poor. If she were to fall down, who would be able to take care of her?
Outside the door, Ye Han and the others looked at the situation and walked to the corner of the corridor.
There were very few people coming and going. Yan Qirui's hawk-like eyes were locked onto Ye Han. ”You really didn't tell her anything?”
