"Looks like I should go back first." Xu Taiping saw that Su Nian Ci's expression did not look too good, so he stood up and said.

"I'll be getting off work soon. Accompany me out for a drink and let's chat." Su Nian Ci said.

"Don't be an alcoholic." Xu Taiping said.

"I only drink with you. At other times, I don't drink with anyone else." Su Nian Ci shook his head.

"Then I'll wait for you." Xu Taiping looked at his watch and said, "Don't make me wait too long. After all, I'm a busy man."

"No matter how busy you are, you have to wait for me!" Su Xiangzi glared at Xu Taiping, then walked back to his desk with a smile and began to deal with official matters.

After about ten minutes or so, Su Nian Ci put down the brush in her hands and stretched lazily. "It's finally done."

Just as he finished speaking, a crisp sound rang out. A button on Su Xiangzi's chest flew out from the pressure of his chest, flew past Xu Taiping's ear, and crashed into the wall behind him.

Su Xiangzi froze on the spot, while Xu Taiping covered his mouth to stop himself from smiling. However, his trembling arms had already betrayed him.

"Bastard, you bullied me with a button!" She was wearing a police uniform, and there was a sleeveless vest inside, so a single button flying wouldn't cause her to lose interest. However, this kind of situation still made her feel a bit awkward, after all, her large chest was the only way it could make her squeeze her clothes even harder. That was why she had sent the button flying.

"Let's go, let's go. Wait for me in the courtyard, I'm going to change into a set of casual clothes." Su Nian Ci said.

"Next time don't wear a button, otherwise we'll be blown away. Actually, it doesn't matter, don't hit anyone!" Xu Taiping warned.

"You talk too much, get out and wait for me!" Su Xiangzi laughed and scolded.

Xu Taiping nodded, got up and walked out of Su Nian Ci's office, and then waited outside in the courtyard.

A few minutes later, Su Nian Ci, who had changed into a casual attire, appeared beside Xu Taiping. The two of them then left the police station together.

The two of them picked a nearby bar and ordered a total of half a dozen beers.

"I have to go to work tomorrow. I just need to drink some at night." Su Nian Ci said.

"En!" Xu Taiping nodded and opened a bottle of beer for Su Nian. Then he opened a bottle for himself.

Su Xiangzi picked up the wine cup and clinked it with Xu Taiping's, saying, "Thank you."

"Thank me for what?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Thank you for not asking me about my father." Su Nian smiled and took a sip of her wine, "If you ask, I would think that you're an old hag and I wouldn't want to tell you. However, since you didn't ask, I felt that you were considerate and tactful.

"So women are all so weird. Those that are easy to get are not treasured, and those that are not easy to get are instead those that are begging for their lives." Xu Taiping teased.

"It's not just women. Men are the same. It's the same." Su Nian Ci shook her head and said, "Did you see my father's appearance?"

"Your father is an alcoholic?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Hmm, didn't I tell you before that my parents fought a lot when they were young? It was because of my dad's drinking." "My dad's drinking habit has been with me for so many years, and I can't change it, so I've slowly turned into an alcoholic. Right now, my parents aren't living together, and they separated a few years ago, but in order to not affect me, they didn't get a divorce. So on the surface, they're still husband and wife."

"I see. Drinking is not a good thing." Xu Taiping said.

"Are you saying my dad isn't a good person?" Su Nian Ci stared at Xu Taiping and asked.

"I'm just talking about drunkards, not you." Xu Taiping said awkwardly.

After drinking, he will go crazy with alcohol, curse, and even beat people. Right now, I feel that it's quite amazing that I could grow up and become a police officer under the shadow of my father. Su Nian smiled benevolently.

"That's because you're strong." Xu Taiping said.

"Maybe. I think I'm still considered independent. Part of the money I earned from college was from my mom and part of it was earned by myself. I've never relied on my dad." Su Nian Ci said.

"So you don't owe your dad anything, so there's no need to be wronged." Xu Taiping said.

"But that's still my father." Su Nian Ci shook his head and said, "He gave me my life. How can I not owe him? I owe him all my life. "

"No wonder you're so poor." Xu Taiping was suddenly enlightened, "You have to give your dad a lot every month, right?"

"We'll see. If we can pay more, then we'll pay more. If we can't, then we'll pay less. If he doesn't have money, then he'll either come and find me or find my mom. Every time he goes to find my mom, they'll fight." Su Nian Ci sighed and shook his head, saying, "That's why I can only let him come find me when he's out of money. Don't go find my mother."

"It really isn't easy for you." Xu Taiping patted Su Xiangzi's shoulder and said, "I can understand your feelings. If you have a father like him, you can't get rid of him. You can only be stuck with him. That kind of feeling isn't good."

"That's why I wanted to talk to you tonight. Tell me, I've never spoken to anyone about this before." Su Nian Ci said.

"Then would you shoot me directly and tell me that I know too much?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Hmph, if you dare to tell others, I'll really shoot you!" As Su Nian Ci spoke, he pointed at Xu Taiping and made a shooting motion.

"Come, drink." Xu Taiping touched the bottle with Su Nian Ci's hand and said, "Drink the wine. Whatever you hear, it will rot in your stomach."

"En!"

The two of them sat at the door of the bar and drank for an hour before finishing half a dozen beers.

Su Xiangzi had told Xu Taiping many stories about her childhood. Xu Taiping had always felt that Su Xiangzi was a very independent and self-assured woman. After hearing what she had said tonight, Xu Taiping had been even more resolute in his decision.

Such a woman had such a childhood, and yet she had such a firm faith. Xu Taiping admired this.

Xu Taiping had also told Su Xiangzi many things, but they had all happened over a decade ago, from the death of his parents to the news of his university.

Xu Taiping rarely spoke of these things to anyone, almost none of them, but he did speak a lot of them when facing Su Nian Ci.

These things could actually expose Xu Taiping's identity. As long as Su Nian was willing to put in some effort to investigate, even if she couldn't find out Xu Taiping's true identity, she would still know that Xu Taiping's current identity was fake. However, Xu Taiping believed that Su Xiangzi wouldn't do such a thing, and wouldn't reveal what he had told her.

It was just like how Su Xiangzi also knew that Xu Taiping would not reveal what she had told him.

The two of them had a bad impression of each other. After experiencing so much, they had become close friends. They talked to each other and discussed, making the mark in each other's heart become more obvious.

However, the two of them still did not call for more wine as they had a tacit understanding that tomorrow was still going to work. They could not go to work with the smell of alcohol on their bodies, and Xu Taiping also did not want to go home with the smell of alcohol on his body.

"Time to go home." Su Nian Ci stood up, picked up his bag and said, "I hope we can continue to be like this in the future, drinking three to five bottles and then saying something we can't say to anyone else."

"I hope so too." Xu Taiping nodded, and then said, "Shall I send you back?"

"No need, it's so close. I can just walk back. You go take a taxi." Su Nian Ci said.

"Done!" Xu Taiping nodded, then stopped a taxi and sat on it. He rolled down the window and was just about to say goodbye when Su Nian Ci's phone rang.

Su Xiangzi took out his phone from his bag and picked it up.

"What's wrong?" Su Nian Ci asked.

It was unknown what had been said on the phone, but Su Nian Ci's expression immediately changed.

"I have to go back to the station and send me there!" Su Nian Ci hurriedly opened the door and entered the car.

"What's wrong?" Xu Taiping asked.

"My dad got caught in the station." Su Nian Ci said with an ugly expression.

"Ah?!" Xu Taiping was stunned.

"Master, South City Police Station." Su Nian Ci said.

"Alright!"

The taxi quickly arrived at the police station in South City, and Su Nian Ci rushed out of the car without paying for it.

Xu Taiping paid the driver and followed him into the police station.

As soon as he entered the police station, Xu Taiping heard a series of roars.

"You dare to arrest me, do you know who my daughter is? My daughter is the deputy director of your institute. Su Nian Ci, Su Nian Ci is my daughter, and you bastards dare to catch me. You're courting death.

This roar was very familiar. It was the voice of Su Nian Ci's father, Su Junbao.

Su Xiangzi ran towards the detention cell, while Xu Taiping also walked a few steps towards it. Then, he stood outside the cell and looked inside.

In the detention room, Su Junbao's hands were cuffed to a chair while several policemen surrounded him. At this time, Su Xiangzi also walked into the room.

"Chief Su, this person drank too much that it ruined their stall. We were called to the police to deal with him. He said that he's your father and he knows your name, so we can only ask you to come over." A policeman said apologetically to Su Nian Ci.

"He's my father." Su Nian Ci nodded and walked in front of Su Jun Bao. With a frown, he asked, "Dad, what game are you playing now?"

"Which one? I smashed his stall. What? "My daughter is the Deputy Director. If I eat something from her and want my money, aren't you looking down on me?" Su Junbao said loudly.

Su Nian was trembling with emotion. She raised her hand to cover her forehead and said to the people beside her, "Just do whatever you want to do. I will help him pay the fine."

"Su, if he really is your father, we can still …"

"No need, what should I do?" Su Nian Ci took a deep breath, suppressing his anger as he said, "You guys decide on your own." Mobile users please browse and read, better reading experience.
