Reborn 73 years later, he takes his mother-in-law hunting in the mountains.

Chapter 480 This kid is a scoundrel

Lu Yao parked the car and went inside, heading straight for Mei Ping's office.

Mei Ping is not a local; she truly considers her workplace her home.

I don't go back to the dormitory until it gets dark.

Sometimes I would stay up late at night reviewing case files before going back to sleep.

Sometimes, when I got tired of watching TV, I would just spend the night on the small bed in the office.

So unless she's out handling cases, she spends the vast majority of her time in the office.

Lu Yao arrived at the door and knocked gently.

Mei Ping's voice inside:

"Come in."

Lu Yao twisted the handle and pushed the door open to come in.

Sure enough, the beautiful female officer was still looking at the case files.

She wasn't only involved in the case of Shi Shouyin and Lin Dong.

Many cases in the criminal investigation team also require her review and approval.

At this time, leaders are generally dedicated to their work.

When Lu Yao came in, she assumed it was a staff member from the secretarial department bringing water.

The current Public Security Bureau was only recently separated from military control, so its system is not very complete and it doesn't have many personnel.

There are only a few dozen people in the entire compound.

Everyone had already left work by then, leaving only Mei Ping and the logistics staff from the secretariat in the building.

Mei Ping didn't look up:

"Just leave the water there, Xiao Chen."

Xiao Chen was a female comrade specially assigned by the secretariat to take care of Mei Ping's daily life.

Lu Yao didn't say anything, but raised his finger and moved closer to Mei Ping.

Pressed on her forehead:

"Don't move. Hands up."

Mei Ping was startled.

Looking up, I saw it was Lu Yao, and I couldn't help but smile.

"You're here. I thought it was Xiao Chen."

Lu Yao made a gun shape with his hand: "Look how careless you are. If an assassin came, you'd be finished."

Mei Ping nodded: "Indeed, I should be more vigilant."

He got up, went to the door, and locked it.

Then he picked up the broom by the door.

She wasn't sweeping; she held the broom handle with her hand and turned it so it faced forward.

In Northeast China, this way of holding the broom is called "broom knot".

These are usually weapons specifically for mothers.

Lu Yao was immediately startled and quickly turned around, hiding his backside on the table.

"Sister Mei... what are you going to do?"

Mei Ping held the broom in her hand, but a smile was being suppressed at the corners of her mouth.

She knew that once she laughed, the boy would be even less afraid of her.

"You brat, don't you know what you did before?"

"What did you do?"

"Hmph, you know the answer already, yet you're trying to take advantage of me!"

"No, when did it become your problem?"

"You said my pants were dirty, so slapping my butt is like taking advantage of me, isn't it?"

Lu Yao looked aggrieved: "Wasn't that taking advantage of you? How can you attribute it to me?"

Mei Ping almost laughed at him, and started hitting him with a broom.

Lu Yao raised his hand in response, exclaiming "Oh dear!" "Oh dear!"

Mei Ping hit him five or six times, each time lighter than the last, and finally stopped and asked:

"Does it hurt? I didn't even strain myself, yet you're screaming so loudly!"

Lu Yao clutched his arm: "I have a wound on my arm. It hurts so much."

"Oh no, when did you get injured again!"

Mei Ping looked concerned and quickly threw the broom away.

He reached out and rolled up Lu Yao's sleeve:

"Let me see."

Lift up the left side and look; the scars are all old.

Then stroke the right side.

Lu Yao clenched his fist: "Look at Sister Mei, aren't my muscles firm? Feel them, they're really hard."

"I'll pinch your head!"

Mei Ping reached out and tapped him on the head: "Have you ever heard the story of the boy who cried wolf? If you lie again, I'll never trust you again!"

Lu Yao laughed and said, "I was just taking emergency evasive action. You wouldn't have hit me if I hadn't said that!"

Mei Ping was just trying to save face; she didn't necessarily want to hit him.

If we don't express our stance, he'll take advantage of us for nothing, and I'm afraid Lu Yao will become even more demanding in the future.

He straightened his face and pointed at the chair:

"Sit down, let's talk seriously, no more jokes."

So the two sat down facing each other.

Lu Yao told Shi Shouyin about borrowing a car that day.

Then he asked Mei Ping about things on Lin Dong's side.

Mei Ping shook her head: "He's in much better spirits and has eaten, but he just won't confess. He pretends to be crazy whenever I ask him."

Lu Yao sighed, "Lin Dong is very stubborn; he won't easily change his mind. Let's take it slow."

"Yes, I've also made arrangements with the prison to have them check on him more closely, and to allow Liu Hui to send him some daily necessities. We can arrange for Liu Hui to see him again tomorrow or the day after. Hopefully, we can use familial affection to influence him."

Lu Yao nodded, but then suddenly remembered something:

"By the way, wasn't the doctor who treated Lin Dong surnamed Wu?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"I suspect he was coerced by Shi Shouyin and his group because he was recently beaten up and is on leave at home. You can secretly ask him if he has been in contact with Shi Shouyin. He probably told Shi Shouyin that Lin Dong was alive."

"Okay, sure."

"Also, I've already told Shi Shouyin that Lin Dong is alive. You need to inform the prison to prevent Shi Shouyin from seeing Lin Dong."

"I have already arranged for Deputy Director Zhao Min to ensure that no one can see Lin Dong. I will remind him again in a moment."

They chatted for a while longer, until it got dark, and then Lu Yao got up to say goodbye.

Mei Ping stood up to see her off.

Upon reaching the door, Lu Yao pointed to the table behind him:

"What fell on the ground, Sister Mei?"

Mei Ping looked back.

"Snap"

"what!"

"Ta-da..."

Lu Yao ran away.

Mei Ping was so angry that she was panting heavily.

roar:

"Lu Yao, never let me see you again!"

Xiao Chen from the next room heard something was wrong and came out to see:

"What's wrong, Director Mei?"

"It's alright!"

Mei Ping quickly rubbed her bottom, feeling a surge of suppressed anger that she couldn't bring herself to say.

That kid is such a scoundrel.

If I hadn't needed his help, I would have made sure he couldn't even get into the police station!

snort!

He angrily sat back down.

I couldn't help but recall the scene in the mountain hot spring valley where he applied medicine to himself...

Also, Lin Dong scratched her shoulder, so she lifted her vest so he could bandage her up...

Hey, why think about all this? This kid is just a petty thug; he'll never amount to anything!

I spent a long time lost in thought.

Only then did I manage to calm my mind.

He picked up the phone: "Connect me to Dabei Prison Detention Center."

The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered.

We'll have to wait a while before we can play.

Maybe the staff on duty went out.

She wanted to remind Zhao Min that no one should meet with Lin Dong casually.

Lu Yao is right. Shi Shouyin knows that Lin Dong is in prison. He doesn't have the ability to directly rescue Lin Dong, but it wouldn't work if he used his connections to get in and collude with Lin Dong.

They hit again after a while.

The duty officer answered.

Mei Ping looked for Zhao Min, but the staff on duty said that Zhao Min's child was sick and he had taken leave to go home.

Mei Ping asked, "Where did you go just now?"

"I... oh, I had diarrhea, so I went to the toilet."

"Stand at your post, understand? Also, no one is allowed to see the inmates in cell number 15 of the Third Prison Ward."

"...Yes, it's Director Mei!"

Mei Ping was a little puzzled by the other party's hesitant manner.

The more I thought about it, the more something felt off.

After leaving the house, I drove straight to Dabe Prison.

Mei Ping had previously instructed Zhao Min not to let anyone else see Lin Dong, but Zhao Min, the deputy director of the detention center, was the only one who knew Lin Dong's identity.

No one else knew, nor did they receive any direct orders from Mei Ping.

Mei Ping felt uneasy when Zhao Min wasn't there.
