Chapter 3790: All Tricks
The old man wanted to keep the young female police officer for a while longer. Of course, he could tell that the lady was cautious.
This wasn’t a big deal. The first time, she would still be a stranger. The second time, they would become familiar. The third time, they’d be family.
“There’s no reason for a guest to leave without drinking something first. Are you in a hurry because you have to go on duty? It’s not too late to leave after having a cup of tea. If you’re afraid of wasting time, I’ll get Jinnian to drive you. It won’t affect your work.” The old master sat down and asked Zhou Niannian to stay while making arrangements for Li Jinnian.
Old Master Xia also said, “Young lady, have a seat. It’s not too late to leave after drinking some tea. It’s hard on you police officers too. It’s snowing heavily outside. It’s already several degrees below freezing, but you still have to be on duty. Drinking a cup of ginger tea to warm your body is for your health. You have to know that a healthy body can serve the people better.”
The two elders echoed each other. Zhou Niannian, who had just started working in society for less than half a year, was helpless. In the end, she sat down obediently.
Li Jinnian was certain that Grandpa Xia and the old man at home had misunderstood.
He didn’t explain too much. He sat down and said to the young policewoman who didn’t even know his name, “Finish your tea. I’ll send you back later.”
This was the way to go. The old men nodded in relief.
At the same time, the old master could tell that something was wrong. He was afraid that… He leaned forward slightly. Uncle Fu was done brewing the brown sugar ginger tea and passed it to Zhou Niannian. At the same time, he whispered to Old Master Xia, “It looks like I was happy for nothing.”
“It’s alright. If there’s no chance, we can create it. There’s no ready-made path in this world. If you step on it, it’ll be a path.” Old Master Xia, who had led soldiers his entire life, felt that this wasn’t a problem. He just needed to turn the misunderstanding into reality.
The old man felt that his old friend was right.
His grandson would be 29 years old next year. It was ridiculous that he didn’t even have a girlfriend. His old friend was right. If there was no chance, he would create it. It was simple!
Zhou Niannian got up and took the hot ginger tea from Uncle Fu. She didn’t expect to be targeted by two extremely powerful elders. Holding the ginger tea, Zhou Niannian carefully sat on the sofa with two gazes on her. Her scalp was numb as she took a small sip of the ginger tea.
“It’s a little hot. Blow it for a while before drinking it. Finish it all. Don’t stand on ceremony,” Uncle Fu said with a smile.
Zhou Niannian, who was holding the cup, was dumbfounded. She felt that she couldn’t finish it!
Why?
The cup in his hand was dark green in color. It was a large caliber cup used by the soldiers of the military unit. It could hold 500ml of water…
She had to drink such a huge cup of water. Also, she was very nervous. She… needed to go to the bathroom.
Zhou Niannian felt that she would have to commit suicide to atone for her sins if she were to use the bathroom in Dangui Garden!
The old man secretly gave his old subordinate a look of admiration. Not bad, not bad. He had a high level of awareness. His old subordinate is still the best. He knew what he was thinking at any time.
Grandpa Xia also felt that Uncle Fu did a good job this time. It would take at least ten minutes to finish such a huge cup of ginger tea. They would chat and ask for the lady’s name. After exchanging a few pleasantries, it would take another ten minutes. In total, it would take about half an hour.
Half an hour was enough!
They could find out how many people the young lady had in her family and whether she had a partner… They could also let the young lady know that the serious-looking lieutenant colonel sitting beside didn’t have a girlfriend or much of a personal life.
