51: Chapter 51: A major criminal case has occurred!!

Wang Hao's expression instantly froze, his heart struggling frantically.

Father!

Mother!

Is it absolutely necessary to steal someone else's girlfriend?

I, a master's graduate from the Public Security University and the Deputy Captain of the Criminal Investigation Detachment, when have I ever been this humiliated?

Feeling the ridicule of those around him, Wang Hao gritted his teeth and took another exquisite gift box out of the car, with the five large words "Chow Tai Seng Jewelry" written on it.

"There's no rush; we'll get to know each other slowly in the future."

"Who wants to get to know you?"

Zhang Jingque didn't even look at the gift box properly before turning around and leaving.

Her words were cold, like an invisible iron fist smashing into his face, causing him to lose all dignity. Wang Hao clenched his teeth, his anger rising, wanting to fight back, but restrained by her identity...

Even more hateful was that Sun Dapang suddenly shouted at this moment.

"I was wondering why Yang Tian was willing to spend so much on a big meal for everyone today. It turns out it's Officer Zhang's birthday!"

Upon hearing this, everyone chimed in.

Luo Dichang immediately responded: "Whoa! So that's why! I was wondering why the cafeteria was full of dishes! But it makes sense; after all, Officer Zhang is Yang Tian's girlfriend. For a girlfriend's birthday, one has to put in some effort!"

Wu Bowei also added: "This was prepared by Yang Tian himself; it's something good that money can't buy. We're just lucky to enjoy it with her!"

"Huh??"

Zhang Jingque looked at Yang Tian curiously.

[Is this true?] — from Zhang Jingque's inner thoughts.

Yang Tian felt that since the atmosphere had been built up to this point, he couldn't let everyone's good intentions go to waste. So he looked at Zhang Jingque with a smile and replied: "Captain Wang mentioned this morning that it was your birthday. At noon, I wanted to prepare some good food for a gathering with everyone and let the brothers celebrate with you to make it lively."

Zhang Jingque's eyes instantly brightened.

[Why do I feel like he's particularly handsome today?] — from Zhang Jingque's inner thoughts.

She immediately walked over excitedly and grabbed Yang Tian's hand, "In that case, what are we waiting for? Let's eat!"

After saying that, she pulled Yang Tian toward the cafeteria.

Such an ambiguous and intimate scene caused Wang Hao to feel a wave of towering rage toward Yang Tian. All the police and Assistant Police Officers in the station had become stumbling blocks to his attempts to steal her away.

Just as he was fuming, Zhang Jingque's surprised voice rang out from inside the cafeteria.

"Wow! So many dishes! Thank you, Yang Tian!"

"What dish is this?"

"Braised Fragrant Pork!"

"And this one?"

"Spicy Rabbit Meat."

"..."

In Wang Hao's eyes, others' cheers were his wails.

Continuing to stay here was undoubtedly asking for trouble!

Tossing the flowers aside, just as he turned to leave, Fang Yihong immediately walked over, caught the cake in his hands, and smiled: "Captain Wang, since you're already here, there's no reason to leave right at mealtime."

After saying that, he pulled him by the arm into the cafeteria.

"Come, come, come, make some room for Captain Wang!"

Wang Hao sat down in a seat near Fang Yihong, and sitting across from him were Yang Tian and Zhang Jingque.

During the ensuing celebration.

Wang Hao became a complete outsider.

Fang Yihong didn't keep him there because he truly treated him as a guest.

But to make him witness Yang Tian and Zhang Jingque's moments of joy and happiness with his own eyes.

Luo Dichang and Sun Dapang were like two jokers, constantly livening up the atmosphere in the cafeteria.

"Come, come, let's toast to the God of Heaven. He helped our station complete more than half a year's worth of fine collection tasks all at once!"

"Let's toast again to Officer Zhang, wishing her a happy birthday!"

"Let's continue to toast to Officer Zhang and Yang Tian, wishing them a harmonious union for a hundred years and a child soon!"

"Hahahaha..."

Once the atmosphere in the cafeteria was built up, Luo Dichang began to constantly urge Yang Tian and Zhang Jingque to drink a cross-cupped cola.

Sun Dapang made Yang Tian feed cake to Zhang Jingque.

Zhu Zhipeng joined the heckling, telling Yang Tian and Zhang Jingque to give each other a kiss!!

...

Staying any longer would be somewhat disrespectful to himself for Wang Hao.

He only took a small sip of the slightly "bitter" cola before standing up, nodding to Fang Yihong, and walking out of the cafeteria.

The second he started his Audi A6.

The car music suddenly started playing.

"Snowflakes fluttering, the north wind whistling, the world is a vast expanse of white..."

This song made Wang Hao seem even more dejected and lost.

He gritted his teeth and slammed his hand against the steering wheel.

"Just you wait!!"

After saying that, he drove away.

--

What was originally just a coincidental extra meal turned into a very successful birthday celebration. Wang Hao's birthday cake was also a timely addition.

Zhang Jingque stood at the dining table, holding a cola cup, and said very happily: "Thank you all for giving me an unforgettable birthday. A toast to everyone!"

[And thank you, Yang Tian, for specially preparing this table full of delicious food for me!] — from Zhang Jingque's inner thoughts.

After saying that, she drained her cup.

"Good!!"

Sun Dapang cheered.

Luo Dichang even blurted out: "Next, is it time for the bridal chamber?"

"Hahahaha!"

Zhang Jingque glanced at Yang Tian, her heart fluttering.

The fun ended.

Everyone in the station went home or back to their dorms.

Zhang Jingque tossed and turned on her bed in the dormitory.

For a moment.

She really thought she was in a relationship with Yang Tian.

This feeling was somewhat subtle.

--

The next morning.

Zhang Jingque was washing her face when her father called.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, my dear daughter. I forgot your birthday yesterday."

Zhang Jingque pretended to be angry and said: "Then buy me a gift!"

"Okay! Just say what you want, and Dad will agree to it."

"Hmm..."

Zhang Jingque thought for a moment and then said: "Then send me a set of fishing rods!"

"Huh? Fishing rods?" The person on the other end was surprised.

"Yes, they should be of good quality, and the price shouldn't be too cheap."

"Hahaha, alright. I'll buy whatever my daughter wants. But since when did you fall in love with fishing?"

"Never mind that!"

"Fine, fine, fine. I'll have someone deliver them."

After a pause on the other end, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Tell me, are you in a relationship?"

"What? I'm not talking to you anymore. I have to go to work!"

Zhang Jingque said and hung up the phone.

Inside a detached official residence in the Qianzhou Municipal Party Committee compound.

A middle-aged man sat at the dining table, looked at the woman in front of him who was wearing a qipao and looked elegant and wealthy, and said: "It seems Wang Tianba was right; our daughter really is in a relationship."

"Oh?" the woman asked curiously. "Which family's son is it?"

The middle-aged man lowered his head and slowly took a sip of Millet and Pumpkin Porridge before replying: "According to Wang Tianba, it's an Assistant Police Officer in our daughter's station."

"What?"

The woman instantly lost her elegance and asked with a face full of surprise: "Jingque found an Assistant Police Officer as a boyfriend?"

"What's there to be so surprised about?"

The middle-aged man replied calmly: "Didn't I also work my way up from a temporary worker to this position?"

"That's different. Back then..."

Before the woman could finish, the middle-aged man's phone rang, and he immediately signaled her to be quiet.

He picked up the phone and saw it was a call from the Municipal Party Committee Office Director.

He swiped to answer.

"Secretary, a major criminal case has occurred in the Balihe Community in Zhangjiang!"
