Chapter 174 — Sister-in-Law and Younger Brother's Wife - "What Is There to Fear!" Provoked by Wei Zhao, Qiu Lingshan Knew It Was a Goad Yet Still Accepted, All Because of Those Contemptuous Words He Had Just Said
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
As a former special forces instructor, Qiu Lingshan had nothing to fear. At worst, she could always get herself out. As for Wei Zhao... Hmph, if he was asking for trouble, he could blame no one else.
In Qiu Lingshan's eyes, although Wei Zhao was quite skilled, he could not possibly have undergone professional training or life-and-death combat, so there was still a certain gap between him and her. If even Wei Zhao dared to go, what did she have to fear?
"Heh, then let's go." Wei Zhao paid no attention to Qiu Lingshan's heated reaction.
Qiu Lingshan felt as if she were playing music to a cow. She had just delivered such bold and lofty words, and he should at least have shown some response, even a compliment on her courage would do, yet Wei Zhao said nothing at all.
"Based on the city surveillance footage we obtained from the urban management department, as well as traffic footage from the main roads, we have determined that the criminal suspects are hiding in the stretch of woods ahead," Qiu Lingshan forced down her anger as she explained to Wei Zhao. "Moreover, the robbers' car we found was also nearby, and in a warehouse of an abandoned factory over there, we discovered the bodies of Baldy and Ma Laoliu..."
"The robbers have a large amount of cash on them. If they tried to leave here carrying the cash, they would certainly attract the attention of the nearby checkpoints, so we judge that if the kidnappers care much about the money, then they must still be around here."
"Oh, meaning if they ditch the money, they might have run off?" Wei Zhao nodded and asked.
"You could say that." Qiu Lingshan said. "But if we can recover the stolen cash, the case will count as half solved, and I will have something to report back."
"If the men are still there, I can help you find them, but the cash... you expect me to sniff it out? Do you think I am a police dog?" Wei Zhao rolled his eyes. "By the way, does your captain not call himself the Hound? You can have him try..."
"Screech..." A harsh braking sound rang out as the Cheetah slammed to a stop by the roadside, and both Qiu Lingshan and Wei Zhao lurched forward with the momentum.
"Are you sick?" Wei Zhao frowned, unable to understand why Qiu Lingshan reacted so strongly.
"Do not insult Captain Yang! If you insult him again, get out of the car!" Qiu Lingshan glared straight at Wei Zhao, fire spurting from her eyes as if she would devour him, looking rather like the lioness Wei Zhao had described.
So that was the reason? Wei Zhao was rather speechless. Qiu Lingshan defended Yang Huaijun so fiercely. Could this girl be in love with Yang Huaijun?
"Do you like Yang Huaijun?" Wei Zhao asked.
"Please do not insult the pure brother-and-sister bond between Captain Yang and me!" Qiu Lingshan corrected Wei Zhao's crooked idea with serious certainty. "Do not judge my relationship with Captain Yang with your filthy mind! I stand up for him because I respect him and admire him. He is like a teacher. Ever since I first joined the police bureau, he has taught me and encouraged me bit by bit, watching me grow..."
"Heh..." Wei Zhao smiled faintly. "Then tell me, if Yang Huaijun called you a police dog, would you get angry?"
"Ah? Me?" Qiu Lingshan was slightly taken aback, not knowing why Wei Zhao suddenly asked that, but she still shook her head and answered honestly. "How could I? Captain Yang is like my master. Is it not normal for him to joke with me?"
"Heh..." Wei Zhao explained no further. In the same way, when Yang Huaijun had first joined that special mission squad, he had been just as green and inexperienced, and Wei Zhao had led him step by step as he grew. So the bond between him and Yang Huaijun was even deeper than that between Qiu Lingshan and Yang Huaijun. That kind of friendship forged between life and death was irreplaceable.
