Chapter 120 - Chapter 47 Leniency and Strictness

Zhong Han nodded, which was considered as an affirmation of Gu Xiaofan's judgment. After contacting Xiao Feng, the things that could be done that day basically came to an end. Zhong Han tidied up his desk, finished a whole day's work, and left the office with Gu Xiaofan.

The two went downstairs together. Gu Xiaofan seemed to be hesitant to speak. Zhong Han had noticed this a long time ago, but he never said it. It was not until the two got in the car that he asked Gu Xiaofan before driving away: "Do you have something to ask me?"

Gu Xiaofan nodded, and it seemed a little difficult to say, but after a brief entanglement, he couldn't help asking: "We were working on Dong Xinghai's case before, but we were suddenly withdrawn and assigned to other tasks. What's going on here? In fact, you must know it better than me. Since it's like this, why did you go to talk to Tang Hongye about their progress today? Also Tell them that you think their direction and goal are wrong... You really think Qiu Gaoyang will not be the one who killed Dong Xinghai, right? "At first, Zhong Han just had a blank expression on his face and listened to Gu Xiaofan calmly. When he heard her last uncertain question, he couldn't help but laugh. His laugh was a little helpless: "After talking for so long and going around in circles, you don't believe that I will tell the truth to them? Then give me a reason why I would deliberately dig a pit for them to jump into at this time? Think about it, we have already withdrawn. If I deliberately mislead them and delay the investigation of the case in the end, the responsibility is too great. Why should I go against my own The future is not going to be smooth? Right? ""Well... Actually, I'm not saying that you are malicious and want to deliberately bypass them. I think what you said to Tang Hongye makes sense. I just think that you are usually quite cunning, and obviously the two of us have been following up smoothly. Now for some reason, you are kicked out. You must feel uncomfortable. So even if you don't deliberately mislead them, at least you shouldn't be nosy and give them advice. "Zhong Han shook his head at Gu Xiaofan: "First of all, I will take your word "cunning" as a kind of affirmation and praise. Secondly, you think so, which means you don't know me well enough. , I said that I don't like people deliberately showing their superiority in intelligence in front of me, so Gao Xuan tried every means to beat me around the bush before, and I took advantage of him and played a few jokes with him. That's all. Let me compete with him directly. To be honest, I don't have the time. Again, from the perspective of professional ethics, no matter who is responsible. Solving the case is the most important thing. If I deliberately cheat because of my personal likes and dislikes, and finally affect the overall situation, then I guess I can only resign and go home to sell sweet potatoes. "Zhong Han said this with a faint smile on his face, but his expression was very serious. After listening to it, Gu Xiaofan seemed to have lost her tongue for a moment, and didn't know what to say to Zhong Han. Originally, in her mind, Zhong Han was the kind of person who was self-confident to the point of being narcissistic, a little bit of cleanliness and conceited, cunning but good-hearted, although he was not narrow-minded. But if someone takes the initiative to provoke him, he will definitely not be so magnanimous that he will not care at all. This is the first time that Gu Xiaofan has seen another side of Zhong Han's character, his broad mind and seriousness when he puts the overall situation first.In contrast, since taking over Dong Xinghai, Gu Xiaofan has seen everything Gao Xuan has done. Her character is more simple and soft, but it does not mean that her brain is dumber than others. At first, she was a little surprised, and she did think about excuse Gao Xuan's behavior in her heart, trying to make herself believe that he was actually unintentional, but after repeated attempts, Gu Xiaofan found that she could not convince herself, let alone others. Many of Gao Xuan's recent personality traits are far from the original image of a gentle, smiling, warm and handsome man.Gu Xiaofan was confused for a while, and didn't understand why she didn't notice these things in the past, but she gradually had the opportunity to see them after she started working with Zhong Han. Later, she also figured it out. Although she had the title of field worker in the past, in the eyes of others, she was just a role that filled the numbers, a small role that was insignificant and had no interest in anyone. After Zhong Han came, although she was probably still not a threat in Gao Xuan's eyes, Zhong Han was a threat to Gao Xuan, because she stood on the "opposite side of interests" with Zhong Han, and she also had the opportunity to see another character of Gao Xuan.Gu Xiaofan saw everything, but out of self-esteem, she didn't say anything more.Seeing that she was in a trance, Zhong Han reached out and snapped his fingers in front of her: "Wake up! What are you doing? Are you so shocked by my great personality and noble sentiments that you can't speak?"Gu Xiaofan came back to her senses and couldn't help laughing when she heard his narcissistic words."Honestly, what are you thinking now?" In fact, Zhong Han combined with recent events to guess why Gu Xiaofan was in a trance just now. "Are you going to continue or give up?""I don't know now," Gu Xiaofan shook her head in confusion, "My mind is also a mess.""If you ask me, continue." Zhong Han thought for a while and said to Gu Xiaofan."Ah?" His suggestion surprised Gu Xiaofan. She knew Zhong Han's impression of Gao Xuan and thought he would take this opportunity to persuade her to give up."When it comes to life and work, you can either be confused or clear, which is fine. The most frightening thing is to be unclear, confused, and shadowy. When the time comes, you can't pick it up, and you can't put it down. You always feel a little regretful in your heart, which is the most uncomfortable. Since it has come to this, just see it clearly, and it will be easier to let go." Zhong Han said to Gu Xiaofan.Gu Xiaofan felt that what he said made sense. After all, he was his military advisor. Whether to continue or give up, he still had to rely on him for advice. Since what he said made sense, of course he listened to it at the first time.But then Zhong Han added another sentence that almost made Gu Xiaofan's nose crooked. He said slowly: "Anyway, according to the original plan, you will be rejected. Being rejected and seeing through yourself are the same thing. There is no difference."In order to express her dissatisfaction, Gu Xiaofan rolled her eyes at Zhong Han, and decided not to talk to him on the way back. She put on a sullen posture, hugged her arms in front of her chest, and turned her face to the window. As a result, the car drove out for less than five or six minutes, and she fell asleep in the quiet atmosphere in the car. Maybe she was tired after a day of tossing and turning, Gu Xiaofan slept so soundly that when the car arrived downstairs of her house, when she was woken up by Zhong Han, she vaguely found that her saliva was about to flow out of the corners of her mouth.Fortunately, she arrived in time, otherwise if she really dripped her saliva on the seat, this fox with mysophobia would have put her on the blacklist and banned her from riding in the car for life!When she got home, before her butt even touched the chair, Gu Xiaofan's cell phone rang, which startled her. She quickly took it out and saw that it was Han Lele who called."Hello, tell me the truth, what's going on?!" As soon as the call was connected, before Gu Xiaofan could speak, Han Lele's deliberately pretentious voice came out of the receiver."What's going on? What are you talking about?" Gu Xiaofan was confused by the question."Don't play dumb. Confess and be treated leniently. Eat at street stalls. Resist and be treated severely. Eat durian!" Han Lele "interrogated" on the other end of the phone with a smile, "Someone from other departments in our bureau saw you and Zhong Han whispering in the car just now. You were chatting intimately. Tell me, are you actually selling dog meat under the guise of sheep, and have been secretly having an affair with someone for a long time?""What a mess," Gu Xiaofan felt amused and helpless when he heard this, "Who is so gossipy? We chatted in the car for a while before getting off work, but we were talking about work there!""Don't ask who it is, I have to protect my 'informer'! We have known each other for so long, don't be hypocritical with me, I think Zhong Han is pretty good, he has good looks, good figure, and good taste, he is better than Gao Xuan, what if you two really have some signs, or if he is interested in you , you must seize it, don't waste such a great opportunity!""Oh my God, please forgive me, there is really nothing between us. A while ago, he called his friend in City C and asked about the recent situation of the girl surnamed Qin. And to tell you the truth, he is helping me now!" Seeing that Han Lele didn't believe what she said, Gu Xiaofan had to briefly tell Han Lele about Zhong Han's promise to help her. Of course, she didn't say how to help her. "You have to keep this a secret for me and don't tell anyone else! Otherwise, I can buy you a durian, but I won't let you eat it, I'll use it as a pillow for you!""Okay, okay, I know, I will sew a zipper on my mouth tomorrow, put a padlock on it, and give you the key!" Han Lele laughed and talked with Gu Xiaofan on the other end of the phone for a while, and then hung up the phone with a sense of unsatisfaction.After finally getting rid of the gossip queen, Gu Xiaofan breathed a sigh of relief, got something to fill her stomach, then washed up, lay on the bed, turned on the desk lamp and flipped through the fashion magazines that Zhong Han had stuffed into her by the bed. As she flipped through them, the things she had experienced during this period of time came to her mind again, making her feel a little upset. She simply threw the magazines away, turned off the desk lamp, and went to sleep under the quilt.
