Fire Chief vs. Surgeon: A Tale of Relentless Pursuit
Chapter 574: Have Time for Tea
CHAPTER 574: CHAPTER 574: HAVE TIME FOR TEA
Arrogant?
With just this?
How is this even relevant?
Even the Public Security Department at the Capital wouldn’t be an issue for some people, doing whatever they wish without anyone daring to stand in their way.
Of course, Officer Zhu was just joking around and didn’t really mean anything by it.
Jiang Ye definitely didn’t have the leisure for this:
"Can we get a word quickly?"
He had been dragging this on and he was worried about his wife.
Cough cough.
Officer Zhu wasn’t the one handling the case this time, so what he said didn’t count:
"I’ll go ask the leader, okay?"
With this, Jiang Ye certainly wouldn’t have any objections.
"So why are you still standing there?"
It really seemed like it wasn’t his problem, right?
Such dragging his feet.
Several young officers around were stupefied, wondering why Brother Zhu was so timid in front of Captain Jiang? Almost too timid, as if he’d retreated all the way back to his grandmother’s home.
Heh.
In Officer Zhu’s words: That’s because you haven’t experienced this guy’s unbearable tactics.
Anyone who had experienced them once would not think this way.
....
Lao Zhu went to the leaders’ office and soon came out, smiling pleasingly towards them:
"Captain Jiang, you can take your wife and leave now.
But keep your phone on, we might call you at any time."
Jiang Ye nodded:
"Uh-huh, thanks."
It didn’t take guessing; Lao Zhu must have lent a hand, at least saying good things in front of the leaders.
Otherwise, how could it be so easy to take someone away?
You should know, none of the colleagues who came together had left the interrogation room.
Jiang Ye turned and returned to the reception room, moving very gently as he opened the door.
Sure enough, upon opening the door, he saw that the person inside had already leaned on the table and fallen asleep.
He also slowed his steps considerably, step by step he approached and then called out in an exceptionally soft voice:
"Wife, wake up, it’s time to go home."
Lu Jing drowsily opened her eyes, her mind not fully recovered yet:
"Ah? Going home? Then let’s go."
After speaking, she fell asleep again.
Hm?
Jiang Ye watched, quite surprised, when had his wife become so fond of sleeping?
She wasn’t sick, was she?
But it didn’t look like it.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, bent down, and gently scooped her up in his arms, being very careful.
Lu Jing really didn’t wake up, and slept even sounder in someone’s arms.
Jiang Ye couldn’t help but chuckle before he carried her out.
Officer Zhu had been waiting outside all along, and sighed sentimentally when he saw this.
"She’s asleep?"
"What do you think at this time of night?"
Right, he shouldn’t have asked.
"I’ll escort you down."
"No need."
"Don’t say that, I already feel bad about today, let me just see you off."
With the talk going that far, Jiang Ye couldn’t refuse anymore.
After all, it wasn’t anyone’s fault, it was a medical accident.
The whole way, no one spoke.
Under normal circumstances, they might have had a few words to exchange.
But now, someone was sleeping.
Given Captain Jiang’s protective nature, how could he possibly allow anyone to disturb his wife’s sleep?
After descending the stairs, all the way to the police station’s courtyard, the car was parked there.
"Lao Zhu, that’s enough, go back."
"It’s no trouble, I’m not busy anyway," he said while simultaneously helping to open the rear car door.
Jiang Ye placed his wife in the car and didn’t forget to buckle her seatbelt.
During this, Lu Jing momentarily woke up, but upon seeing Jiang Ye’s face, she did not say or ask anything, and continued to sleep at ease.
Tsk tsk.
After closing the car door, Jiang Ye once again expressed his thanks to Officer Zhu:
"Thanks, Lao Zhu, let’s have tea sometime."
Officer Zhu quickly waved his hand:
"Don’t mention it, isn’t that all part of the job? Drive safely."
"Uh-huh."
