"It's still going well, but I feel he's a little dishonest and didn't explain all the problems." Sun Yong said.

"That's sure. As long as we haven't found it, he will definitely not explain it all. He is not stupid." Qiao Liang smiled, "By the way, have you checked the famous wines he collected that I told you?"

"It has been sealed and all have been shipped to the designated warehouse. I just asked an expert who knows how to appraise the wine appraisal two days ago and estimated the price. After the case investigation is completed, the auction will be held in accordance with relevant regulations, and the proceeds will be handed over to the state treasury." Sun Yong replied to Qiao Liang's words, "This Guan Zhitao is a lot greedy. Do you know how much the famous wine we seized is worth after the estimation? It's a full five or six million. Damn, this is just a conservative estimation. You said that the wine he received is worth so much money, what about other money? This Guan Zhitao is definitely a big greedy."

"You will be clear if you are greedy or not. In short, you can't let go of a clue." Qiao Liang said.

"I understand." Sun Yong nodded, "I'm going to send someone to Hainan. Didn't Guan Zhitao keep an outdoor room? We have found out that the person is in Hainan and plan to bring him back to assist in the investigation."

"Well, you can handle this case, I'm not sure." Qiao Liang smiled slightly, "Anyway, we have completed the task relatively satisfactorily."

"That was only under the leadership of Qiao Shuji that we could complete the task successfully." Sun Yong said with a smile.

"Sun Yong, it's only been the New Year, your flattery skills are getting better." Qiao Liang smiled and pointed at Sun Yong.

The two were chatting and laughing. Time flickered in the evening. After get off work, Qiao Liang did not leave immediately. He accumulated more than a week of work. Qiao Liang just came to work today and planned to go back to work overtime.

On the other side of the city compound, after finishing the matter at hand, Wu Huiwen's secretary Wan Hong made sure that Wu Huiwen had no other arrangements to go to the evening and left in a hurry.

After walking out of the gate of the city courtyard for a short period of time, Wan Hong stopped. At this time, a car stopped beside Wan Hong, and Xue Yuan was driving.

Wan Hong opened the door of the passenger seat and sat in it. Xue Yuan started the car with a smile on his face, and turned to look at Wan Hong, "Chief Vanke, what do you want to eat tonight?"

"I don't pick on food, I can do anything," said Wan Hong.

"Okay, I know an authentic local dish, let's try it." Xue Yuan smiled.

Wan Hong nodded, glanced at Xue Yuan, and was a little reluctant to speak but stopped.

Wan Hong originally didn't want to agree to Xue Yuan's invitation tonight, but after hesitation, Wan Hong still agreed because Wan Hong felt that some things should be discussed clearly with Xue Yuan so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to the two in the future.

Xue Yuan, who had been paying attention to Wan Hong, noticed her strangeness and asked, "President Vanke, do you want to say something?"

Wan Hong opened her mouth, not knowing how to start. She wanted to ask Xue Yuan if she wanted to pursue her, but she was afraid that she would be embarrassed if she was wrong. After all, it would be a bit embarrassed to take the initiative to raise this topic.

"President Vanke, we are friends now. There is nothing that friends cannot say, don't you think?" Xue Yuan said again.

Hearing Xue Yuan say this, Wan Hong gritted her teeth and said with a slight face, "Chief Xue, you... are you going to chase me?"

"Chief Van, why did you ask this?" Xue Yuan's eyes flashed for a moment, and he pretended to be surprised.

Xue Yuan's retort made Wan Hong speechless. After thinking for a while, Wan Hong said, "Secretary Xue, maybe I'm thinking too much, but I think we have to make some things clear. You have a girlfriend, and I have a boyfriend. In addition, we should keep a distance in our own special jobs. After all, if there is a real scandal, it will not affect us, and may even affect our work. You... do you understand what I mean?"

After hearing Wan Hong's words, Xue Yuan pretended to be silent. After a long time, Xue Yuan smiled bitterly, "Chief Van, I understand that your concerns are correct, and I have not thought about them carefully."

Seeing Xue Yuan's expression, Wan Hong felt a little embarrassed. She felt that his words just now were a little hurtful, so she said, "Secretary Xue, I have no other meaning. Don't take it to your heart, but we should really pay attention to the impact."

"Well, I will pay attention." Xue Yuan nodded silently, "Chief Van, you actually misunderstood me a little. I know that I have been caring for you recently, which may have caused some misunderstandings to you, but I don't mean that. I just think we are people who share the same illness, and you are in Jiangzhou again, so I can't help but give you more care."

"I feel sorry for each other?" Wan Hong looked at Xue Yuan in confusion.

"That's right." Xue Yuan nodded affirmatively, "Do you remember the night we had the first time? You were still drunk."

"Of course I remember." Wan Hong nodded, blushing slightly. She got drunk when she had dinner with Xue Yuan for the first time and made a fool of herself in front of Xue Yuan. That night, Xue Yuan took her back to the dormitory and stayed with her all night, which resulted in Xue Yuan catching a cold and having a fever.

Xue Yuan continued, "That night, you got drunk, and accidentally told you about the matter between you and your boyfriend. I felt empathy after hearing this. I and Wu Wenwen were the same as you and your boyfriend. Now we are quarreling but quarrels. This relationship has long exhausted me."

"You have a bad relationship with Master Wu?" Wan Hong said in surprise.

"Yes, my relationship with her is not very good." Xue Yuan sighed, "Outsiders think we are a couple of talented men and women, and are made of heaven and earth, but only we ourselves know the real situation. Nothing about relationships is as glamorous as outsiders."

"Yes, only you can know the ups and downs of love." Wan Hongshen nodded with emotion.

"Chief Van, so you should understand. I don't mean anything about caring for you. I just think we are both sick and sympathetic, and then I feel close to you when I see you, as if we are like old friends I have known for a long time, subconsciously wanting to care more about you."

Xue Yuan deliberately said the three words "old friend" a little more severely. Wan Hong smiled and said, "It seems that I am so passionate. Then what I said just now is really laughable. Section Chief Xue, don't take it to your heart."

After saying this, Wan Hong felt relaxed and lost. The reason for feeling relaxed was that Xue Yuan was not pursuing her, which made Wan Hong feel relieved, and she felt lost, because Xue Yuan was not pursuing her, which made Wan Hong couldn't help but wonder, isn't her charm enough?

Sometimes people are such a contradictory individual.

The two of them spoke out loud, and Wan Hong looked at Xue Yuan with a much more natural look. She had a good impression of Xue Yuan, and she did not reject a friend like Xue Yuan. Xue Yuan was right. She was alone in Jiangzhou and was just about to integrate into her work and life. She had no real friends yet. Xue Yuan's words really made her feel.

After relaxing, Wan Hong smiled and said, "Secretary Xue, I don't have to go out to eat anymore, so I went to my dormitory. I happened to buy a lot of ingredients yesterday. We cooked two side dishes and had a drink. We just said that we had to drink a drink too."

"Okay." Xue Yuan's eyes flashed and he responded with a smile on his face.

After Xue Yuan finished speaking, he immediately turned around and turned to Wan Hong's dormitory. He had been there once and knew where he was.

After arriving at Wan Hong's dormitory, Xue Yuan helped Wan Hong cook and prepare supper. He and Wu Wenwen never did this when they were together. However, in order to give Wan Hong a better impression, Xue Yuan tried his best to create a warm image of a man.

The two of them started to cook two or three side dishes, which was very fast. Half an hour later, the three dishes were already on the table. Except for the soup being cooked in the kitchen, the dishes were all ready, so the two of them sat down and ate first.

"Come on, let's have a drink for us, a friend who is sympathetic." Wan Hong picked up the wine glass before she could move her chopsticks.

"Chief Van, you have to drink so well, don't get drunk like last time." Xue Yuan smiled.

"It's okay, I'm drinking at my own house today. I'm really drunk. At worst, I can just lie down and sleep." Wan Hong smiled. At this time, she was not at all wary of Xue Yuan. Last time Xue Yuan was by her all night and did nothing honestly. Wan Hong already regarded Xue Yuan as a gentleman.

When Xue Yuan heard Wan Hong's words, he smiled and picked up the wine glass to drink with the other party. Both of them drank it all in one go, and Wan Hong quickly filled them with them again.

Xue Yuan pretended to be casually asked, "Chief Vanke, how are you and your boyfriend? Have you eased your relationship during the New Year?"

"Don't mention it. He didn't even go to my house for the New Year this year, which made my parents very dissatisfied." Wan Hong's face was a little unfair. Now her parents are also trying to break up, which made Wan Hong feel extremely conflicted.

Wan Hong's words made a hint of joy in the depths of Xue Yuan's eyes, but Xue Yuan covered it up well. Wan Hong, who was in a depressed mood, didn't pay any attention at all and picked up the wine glass and drank it.

Seeing Wan Hong's way of drinking, Xue Yuan glanced at Wan Hong. Wan Hong was afraid she would be drunk again when drinking like this. Drinking on an empty stomach, the red wine had a strong momentum. Wan Hong had just started drinking two glasses of red wine. It would be strange if she was not drunk for a while. When he had dinner with Wan Hong last time, he realized that Wan Hong's alcohol capacity was not very large.

It was obvious that Wan Hong was at home tonight and was relieved to Xue Yuan, so she didn't think much about it at all. After drinking two glasses by herself, she called Xue Yuan to drink it. In the end, Xue Yuan suggested eating something first, and Wan Hong moved her chopsticks.

"Wine is such a good thing. When you get drunk, you will have no worries." Wan Hong ate a few bites of the dish and suddenly said with emotion.

"How else would the ancients say that drunkenness relieves thousands of sorrows?" Xue Yuan smiled.
