The man gulped down another glass of wine, obviously furious. “The guy said that no matter how capable we are, we won’t be able to bring down the Gu family. He said it’s no use capturing the small fries, and if we had real ability, we’d capture Gu Jinglian!”
Chu He suddenly froze when she heard this. She looked up at that colleague, and noted he had turned red with fury, as if he was enduring a great humiliation.
“What did I think when I heard that?! Tell me, Gu family? Is that within our reach? Even if we wanted to lay our hands on them, the higher-ups will never agree to it! This Gu family has substantial background!”
Everyone in the team felt unhappy at the mention of this matter. The Gu family had occupied the capital for decades and was extremely powerful. Gu Jinglian was a name that the anti-vice team was unwilling to mention. In their eyes, Gu Jinglian was a powerful and awe-inspiring existence.
As an anti-vice team, their goal was to get rid of all vice-related organisations. However, they were up against such an influential family that is so steadfastly positioned that they did not dare to lay their hands on anyone related to this family in any way.
Actually, it was not that they did not dare to do so. Rather, they were not in the position to do so. Every time they carried out a mission, the order came from above and they merely executed. The Gu family was arrogant, and they could do nothing about it.
“Let’s not talk about such depressing things anymore!” Li Xiaofeng was a little upset as well. He had never been willing to talk about this matter. In his heart, the name Gu Jinglian was detestable, but the most hateful thing was that he couldn’t do anything to this person.
As the captain, he had been putting up with this for a long time! If it had been any other time, he would not even mention this name.It was only because this team mate had been humiliated that he vented his anger by having a few drinks! The few of them drank unhappily. It was obvious that because of this matter, their willpower had been greatly diminished.
Chu He took a sip of beer thoughtfully, and then noticed that Li Xiaofeng was looking at her. As though deliberately trying to change the topic, he asked, “Chu He, why did you ask for leave tomorrow afternoon?”
“Oh.” Chu He put down her wine glass. With no intention of hiding this matter, she said casually, “I’m going to collect my certificate tomorrow.”
The moment she said that, everyone froze!
“What?”
“Collecting your certificate?”
“What certificate?”
Li Xiaofeng almost dropped his wine glass on the table. “Chu He, are you referring to… a marriage certificate?”
“Uh huh.”
There was a sudden uproar.
Someone immediately said, “Captain told us you’re single, didn’t he? And now you’re saying you’re collecting your certificate?!”
“Exactly, Chu He, then you’re in the wrong! You’ve been lying!”
“Chu He, aren’t you single?”
Chu He smiled. “I am now, but from tomorrow onwards, I probably won’t be!”
“Probably?”
Everyone was confused again.
“What do you mean?”
“One moment you’re single, the next you’re getting married. Who are you getting married to? Is it a blind date?”
Li Xiaofeng asked skeptically, “Chu He, are you joking with us?!”
“What’s there to joke about? I’ll come back to work tomorrow after collecting my marriage certificate.”
Because the Civil Affairs Bureau worked Monday through Friday and was closed on the weekends, she had no choice but to take time off work. She had no idea that Li Xiaofeng liked her and was planning to woo her. Hence, she was puzzled by his strong reaction..
