“Chief Jiang, thank you so much for today!” Xiao Lingyu thanked him sincerely as she walked out of the police station.

Jiang Tao shook his head, “You were the victim in the first place.” He explained, “Lingyu, please don’t blame Captain Bi. He was just being thorough!”

Xiao Lingyu laughed. “Chief Jiang, you said it yourself. Captain Bi was only doing his job, so why would I blame him?”

Jiang Tao looked at the time and said, “It’s almost mealtime. How about I treat you?”

“Sure.” Xiao Lingyu agreed. She chuckled, “It’s my honor to be treated by the chief of Xing Yin County Police Station.”

After the two left, the people at the station started to gossip.

“Did you see that smile? Our iceberg of a chief was actually smiling!”

“I didn’t think our Chief Jiang would be so cute with a smile.”

“By the way, what’s the relationship between that girl and Chief Jiang? They seem so close. And most importantly, Chief Jiang was smiling at her! Is there something going on?”

“Could she be Chief Jiang’s girlfriend?”

“Do you think an iceberg like Chief Jiang will have a girlfriend? Chief Jiang is like a walking air-cond. Her girlfriend will be freezing all the time!”

“What nonsense are you people talking about!” Captain Bi scolded when he walked in and heard the gossip. “That young woman is the heroine who helped us break down Sister Hong’s human trafficking gang!” Basically, he was telling the officers Xiao Lingyu was not their chief’s girlfriend… yet.

“Oh, so that’s her!” The few female police officers immediately exclaimed, “She rejected the reward money of 50,000 RMB! If it were me, I would have accepted it and bought a house. Then, I’d be able to move out and won’t need to hear my mother’s nagging anymore. Sometimes, I wish I’d die. But she’s my mother. As annoying as her nags are, I have to listen to her.”

Back in this era, buying real estate was not that common. Only men who were getting married would consider buying a house.

“She is smart, brave, and not greedy. That’s very rare. By the way, are we sure she’s not the chief’s girlfriend?” A young female officer asked doubtfully.

“I don’t think so.” Her senior answered, “But it does look like our Chief is interested in her!”

“What?” The other exclaimed, “Sister Jiang, how can you tell?”

“Didn’t you all notice Chief Jiang would only smile at her?” Sister Jiang winked mysteriously. “However, the girl doesn’t seem too interested in our Chief. She is very polite around him!”

If a girl was interested in a man, they would act more reserved. However, Xiao Lingyu was polite and open around Jiang Tao. Clearly, she treated him just like a friend.

Jiang Tao had no idea his subordinates were gossiping behind him. He brought Xiao Lingyu to a nearby restaurant. As they got down the car, Jiang Tao said, “This place looks ordinary, but they have incredibly good food.”

“I can’t wait then!” Xiao Lingyu smiled.

“Tao Zi, you’re here!” The old couple who ran the restaurant greeted him when they saw Jiang Tao.

“Uncle Chen, Auntie Chen!” Jiang Tao said, “I brought my friend to have a meal here. Uncle Chen, you have to help me impress her with your cooking!”
