"Your sister-in-law? Who's your brother? Captain Yang's sister-in-law? And who's Captain Yang's brother?" Qiu Lingshan was thoroughly tangled up by Wei Zhao's words.
"I call Yang Huaijun 'Brother Jun,'" Wei Zhao said with a smile.
"You call him Brother Jun..." Qiu Lingshan understood in an instant what Wei Zhao's earlier words had meant. If he called Captain Yang "Brother Jun," then wasn't Captain Yang his brother? Which meant he was Captain Yang's younger brother?
Qiu Lingshan's face flushed scarlet in a heartbeat. "Are you asking for death? Don't you believe I'll kick you right out of this car?"
Since retiring from the special forces, no one had dared to tease her like this; Wei Zhao was the first, and it wasn't even the first time. That infuriated Qiu Lingshan. Was this brat sent by heaven to deliberately cross her?
"Miss Song, I'm only telling it straight. What happened between me and Brother Jun can only be told to one of our own, so if you want to know, pick one of the two. If you don't, then just drive." Wei Zhao had only been joking, hoping to seal Qiu Lingshan's lips for the future; otherwise, with so many questions, he might well slip up. Wei Zhao had no wish to continue on this topic.
"Fine, don't say it then. So many excuses." Qiu Lingshan snorted and kept driving. By now the car had drawn near the woods ahead; at the foot of the mountain, the car would go no farther.
At the base of the mountain, the police had strung up a cordon, and a few officers on duty were crouched in wait at a temporary guard post. Seeing Qiu Lingshan's car approach, they hurried out of the post.
Qiu Lingshan parked at the foot of the mountain, and she and Wei Zhao got out together.
"Captain Song!" A policeman ran over, saluted, and then spoke to Qiu Lingshan.
"Any developments?" Qiu Lingshan asked.
"No," the policeman said with a shake of his head. "No one's gone up the mountain from here, and no one's come down."
"All right, carry on. I'm going up to take a look." Qiu Lingshan held out little hope.
"Captain Song, you're going up alone?" The policeman stared at Wei Zhao in some astonishment... Could this be the legendary boyfriend of Captain Song, the one who couldn't even wait at the hospital?
Hmm, the young man looked decent enough, well built too... But Captain Song going up the mountain with him — what was that about? The robbers were still up there, after all. This was hardly a good place for romance.
"Wei Zhao and I are going up together," Qiu Lingshan said, pointing at Wei Zhao.
Just as expected! The policeman recalled that Qiu Lingshan's legendary boyfriend seemed to be named Wei Zhao. So this really was Captain Song's legendary boyfriend. But what exactly were the two of them going up the mountain to do at a time like this?
"Then... Captain Song, be careful. Shall I send a few of our own men to follow behind?" The policeman was uneasy. Qiu Lingshan might be deputy captain, but she was still a woman.
"No need." Qiu Lingshan would never let anyone follow. Wei Zhao had said the two of them would go up together; if she brought men along now, wouldn't that be showing weakness to him?
Seeing Qiu Lingshan insist, the policeman could only step aside and watch as she and Wei Zhao headed up the mountain.
"The people in your police force certainly care about you," Wei Zhao said, somewhat surprised. "Seems your standing in the force is quite good."
"And what did you think?" Qiu Lingshan rolled her eyes and glared at Wei Zhao. "I'm the provincial police system's number one in the women's free-fighting division."
At this, Qiu Lingshan puffed out her chest with a touch of pride. It was an honor she could well boast of.
"Heh, number one in other departments too," Wei Zhao said with a wicked grin, his eyes on Qiu Lingshan's proud chest.
"Huh? Wei Zhao, do you have a death wish?" Qiu Lingshan had noticed his gaze and that ill-intentioned smile. How could she fail to understand what he meant?
