Jiang Cheng's eyebrows couldn't help but twitch, looking at Qiu Yihe with interest.
Because he was sure that the Qiu Yihe in front of him was the female police officer who was leading the beagle yesterday.
Jiang Cheng activated the Character Scanning System on Qiu Yihe.
"Human-Machine Scanning System activated, retrieving target information."
[Name: Qiu Yihe]
[Age: 21]
[Height: 168 cm]
[charm: 89]
[Figure: 94]
[Privacy: 0]
[favorability value: 60]
Although Qiu Yihe's face wasn't the type that would instantly stun and stand out among thousands.
Her figure was indeed outstanding.
Tall and slender, her proportions were perfect.
Her muscle lines were faintly visible, exuding a unique charm.
Even though Li Yan didn't continue to press for details.
Qiu Zheng's expression at this moment had changed drastically, appearing extremely strange.
His originally relaxed, cheerful, and smiling face gradually stiffened.
As if a sudden immobilization spell had been cast upon him.
Qiu Zheng slowly turned his head, his gaze sharp as he stared intently at Qiu Yihe.
His expression was extremely serious, even carrying a hint of authority and questioning.
He spoke in a deep voice, "Tell me honestly, where exactly do you work?!"
Feeling Qiu Zheng's sharp gaze, Qiu Yihe's heart tightened involuntarily.
She knew that what she had been hiding could probably no longer be concealed.
She instinctively avoided meeting Qiu Zheng's eyes.
Qiu Yihe sighed inwardly, lowered her head slightly, and took a deep breath.
After a brief pause, she mustered her courage, looked up, and met Qiu Zheng's gaze.
And slowly said, "I... don't work at the Tax Bureau. The unit I'm currently with is the Anti-Drug Squad."
As soon as these words left her mouth, it was like a thunderbolt striking across the sky.
Even time seemed to freeze, momentarily pausing for a brief instant.
Qiu Zheng's eyes, which had been lifeless and even lacked eyelashes.
Suddenly opened wide as if greatly startled.
His somewhat ferocious face instantly became incredibly stiff.
Every muscle in his face was tense.
His gaze was like two sharp arrows, shooting directly at Qiu Yihe.
In his eyes, first surged deep disbelief.
Immediately after, this disbelief quickly transformed into raging fury.
Qiu Zheng couldn't believe what he heard.
He widened his eyes, his voice trembling yet filled with anger as he questioned, "So, you've been lying to me all this time??"
Facing his questioning, Qiu Yihe chose to remain silent.
She merely lowered her head slightly, avoiding Qiu Zheng's gaze.
Seeing this, Qiu Zheng's emotions became even more agitated.
His voice involuntarily rose by an octave.
He almost roared, "Anti-Drug Squad, how did you even get in? You didn't use my connections and pull strings everywhere to get in, did you? Huh? Why, why do you have to do such a dangerous job? Why are you so disobedient?"
Facing Qiu Zheng's fierce accusations, the anger in Qiu Yihe's heart instantly erupted like a volcano.
One must know, this topic had been discussed between them countless times before.
Because Qiu Zheng had always resolutely opposed it.
Left with no choice, she eventually chose to fabricate a lie to deal with it.
Qiu Yihe pursed her lips tightly, responding with a stubborn expression.
"Didn't you just give the answer?! I'm doing this job, of course, for the country, for my family! For the people!"
Hearing this, Qiu Zheng looked at Qiu Yihe in disbelief.
He never expected that she would use his own words to refute him.
For a moment, Qiu Zheng felt as if he had been struck by lightning, standing stiffly in place, unmoving.
His left hand seemed to lose control, suddenly raising high.
His slightly trembling finger pointed directly at Qiu Yihe.
As if to convey all his anger and dissatisfaction through that finger.
His face, flushed crimson with anger, was now as red as a ripe apple.
"You... you..." Qiu Zheng was so angry that he couldn't even say a complete sentence.
He just kept repeating those two words.
His chest heaved violently, and his breathing became rapid.
The main reason he was angry was that he didn't know how to persuade his daughter.
Although he had just spoken passionately and with grand ideals.
He was not afraid of sacrifice, even willing to give up his precious life to defend the dignity and peace of the motherland.
However, as a father.
When he heard his own flesh and blood speak wildly about engaging in such an extremely dangerous profession.
Even the most resolute and mission-driven person would inevitably feel a ripple in their heart.
But for a father, when his daughter tells him she wants to do something so dangerous.
Ninety-nine percent of parents would say.
"To hell with patriotism, I just want my child to be safe and sound."
Once a person takes on different roles, their perspective and stance on things will change dramatically.
At this moment, he was no longer just the passionate individual with the nation and family in his heart.
He was also a loving father, deeply concerned for his daughter's safety.
This complex and contradictory mix of emotions intertwined, plunging him into deep pain and struggle.
Seeing that Qiu Zheng was speechless, Qiu Yihe continued.
Seeing Qiu Zheng rendered speechless.
Qiu Yihe seized the opportunity and continued, saying:
"Didn't you also say just now? Back then, Grandma eagerly hoped you could enroll in Tsinghua University, which is a dream institution for countless students. But in the end, didn't you also not follow Grandma's wishes?"
"Since you yourself couldn't act according to Grandma's wishes, what right do you have now to forcefully demand that I must obey your every command?"
Qiu Yihe stared intently at Qiu Zheng, her eyes filled with stubbornness and defiance.
She crossed her arms, once again adopting a defensive posture towards Qiu Zheng, ready to stand her ground and firmly defend her position.
Seeing Qiu Yihe like this, Qiu Zheng shook his head helplessly.
"Xiao He, I know that I haven't had time to be by your side all these years, so you've always blamed me and wanted to punish me this way."
"But I'm doing this for your own good. Do you know how dangerous anti-drug policing is? A slight mistake could cost you your life. A civil servant job is stable, and your future life will be secure. Why are you so disobedient?"
