Chen Zikun never expected that soone who had been dealt with by Han Yu would dare to show up at their doorstep, and imdiately put down the phone to use the intercom to summon Zhang Ping and Xiao Gong from the dunship to guard the entrance.
Zhang Asheng, noticing the arrival of two more police officers, was not flustered, even sowhat proud, as he focused intently on the Chinese pager displayed on the big screen.
Shen Rulan saw Chen Zikun return and asked with a smile, "Instructor Chen, did you manage to contact Captain Han?"
"What are you looking for him for? If there’s anything, you can tell ."
"It’s nothing, just missed him and wanted to see him."
"Co to see?"
"Yep." Zhang Asheng put down the pager and offered a soft pack of Zhonghua cigarettes with a smile.
God knows why they ca to see Salted Fish, but Chen Zikun dared not take his cigarette, pushing his arm away with an emotionless face and reminding, "Zhang Asheng, don’t you see where this is? Be serious, don’t goof around with !"
"We are very serious."
"Then first answer my question: what are you looking for Captain Han for?"
Over the past few years, Zhang Asheng had imagined countless tis the scene of visiting that Salted Fish, so why would he be afraid? He chuckled, "I know this is a Police Station, and you are the police, the police represents the governnt. I’m reporting to the governnt that I really just ca to have a look at Salted Fish."
Shen Rulan jabbed his arm with her elbow and laughed scoldingly, "What kind of reporting to the governnt is that? This is a Police Station, not a detention center!"
"The sa thing, police stations, detention centers, they all represent the governnt."
"Did you not get enough of prison food? Didn’t you hear what Instructor Chen said? Be serious."
"Alright, alright, serious."
This couple was singing in harmony, with undertones in their conversation.
Chen Zikun was exasperated, but they had committed cris in the past and weren’t committing any at present, at least there was no evidence suggesting they were causing trouble within Bailong Port Police Station’s jurisdiction, so there wasn’t much he could do about them for the ti being.
"Zhang Asheng, Shen Rulan, it’s almost noon, aren’t you guys hungry?"
"Not hungry, we had a late breakfast."
"Then let’s change the subject. How did you find your way here?"
"We asked around."
Shen Rulan looked up at the rules and regulations on the wall and sighed, "Bailong Port hasn’t changed much, but your unit has changed quite a bit. Binjiang Port Police Station has beco Changhang Bureau, it’s only been a few years, and Salted Fish has already beco Deputy Division Commander."
Zhang Asheng felt the sa way and couldn’t help nodding, "Ti flies so quickly, in the blink of an eye, it has already been six or seven years."
"Asheng, do you want to go to the car to get the cara and have Instructor Chen help us take a picture?"
"What’s there to take photos of here? Is it honorable to be caught by the police going to court?"
"That’s true, no photos then."
It really looked a bit like they were here for tourism, and also a bit like they were here to show off.
Chen Zikun was confronted with such a situation for the first ti and was bewildered by them montarily.
If they wanted to wait, then let them wait; Chen Zikun couldn’t be bothered to deal with them anymore and stood up to leave the reception room to go to the dock canteen for food.
At one twenty-seven in the afternoon, Han Yu drove back.
Chen Zikun had been waiting for a long ti and imdiately went up to et him, only to unexpectedly see Director Jiang had also co.
"Brother Chen, where are they?"
"Still in the reception room."
Han Yu whispered, "Is that their car?"
Chen Zikun smiled wryly and said, "Yep."
What kind of situation was this? Ex-cons even dared to drive their car into the Police Station, and they boldly parked right at the Director’s office entrance!
Jiang Xiaojun beca more and more irritated and said coldly, "Let’s go, let’s et them."
The three walked into the reception room. Zhang Asheng and his wife instinctively stood up and stared attentively at Han Yu for a while, forgetting to speak because Han Yu had changed so much, he was completely different from their mory.
"Zhang Asheng, Shen Rulan, why have you co all the way here looking for Captain Han?"
"Director Jiang..."
"You still rember ?"
"Of course, of course, Director Jiang is good, Director Jiang, have a smoke."
"I thought you would have forgotten."
With many years of serving as the head of the Criminal Investigation Departnt, Jiang Xiaojun was not afraid of two ex-convicts. He took the cigarette, sat down with a grunt, and lit it with an imposing air.
Han Yu took a seat next to Jiang Xiaojun, gesturing for them to sit down and asked with a smile, "Zhang Asheng, I heard you were looking for ?"
Zhang Asheng hesitated for a mont and asked, "Salted Fish?"
"Haven’t seen for so many years, you don’t recognize ?"
"It is you!"
"Who else could it be?"
"You’ve grown so tall, I almost didn’t recognize you, have a smoke."
"Thank you, I don’t."
"Your change is not small either, you look more vibrant and well-to-do than before. Shen Rulan, how old is the child now, in school?"
Finally facing the person in the flesh!
Shen Rulan recovered and hurriedly sat down, smiling, "Salted Fish, I thought you would call Sister Shen. The child is six years old now; if we stayed in the country, by next year, he would be in the first grade. But we have criminal records, especially Asheng; he has been in prison. If he goes to school here, his classmates would definitely laugh at him, so we’re thinking of giving the child a new environnt."
"You plan to go abroad?"
"Yes, the visa is already arranged, we’re leaving next month."
"Which country are you going to?"
Zhang Asheng took over the conversation with a proud tone, "We’re going to Canada, we are skilled immigrants."
Everyone says I’m the salted fish that turned over, but it seems you are the real salted fish coback!
The assets were confiscated a few years ago, leading to financial ruin, but now, in just a few years, they looked so presentable, using pagers and cell phones, driving imported cars, and soon going abroad.
Han Yu felt it unbelievable. He turned to glance at Jiang Xiaojun and casually asked, "So, you are here to say goodbye to ?"
"Sort of."
Zhang Asheng lit a cigarette, starting to feel sentintal, "Once we leave, who knows when we can co back, we have already visited all the friends and relatives we wanted to, thanked all those friends who helped us in our most difficult ti, but still sothing felt undone, and after thinking it over and over again, I thought of you."
