"Can I see the video you recorded?"
Qiu Yihe subconsciously took out her phone to hand it to Jiang Cheng.
However, she quickly hesitated.
"This... it doesn't seem to be in accordance with the rules. I need to request backup now. After all, I'm handling a case across provincial borders; doing it this way is a violation of regulations... at best I'd have to write a self-criticism letter, but at worst, I could be demoted..."
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng gave Qiu Yihe a deep look.
If it weren't for the system's prompt, Jiang Cheng wouldn't have known that Qiu Yihe was actually an Anti-drug Police Officer.
Jiang Cheng was certain that if Qiu Zheng knew Qiu Yihe was an Anti-drug Police Officer,
he would definitely oppose it again.
In our country, the identity of a regular Police officer can be public, but the identity of an Anti-drug Police Officer must be kept secret.
One must understand that the difference between an Anti-drug Police Officer and an ordinary Police officer is immense.
The psychology of drug dealers is different from that of ordinary criminals.
In Huaxia, drug trafficking carries heavy penalties.
While evading the law, if an Anti-drug Police Officer's identity is exposed, or if they fall into the hands of these people, there is only one outcome.
They will definitely find a way to kill the officer directly.
The warning suddenly issued by the Danger Perception Skill reminded him that one of those people was actually involved in international drug trafficking and smuggling activities.
The situation was far more serious than he had imagined.
When those people realized that Qiu Yihe had filmed a video of them, an extreme thought immediately flashed through their minds.
That was to silence Qiu Yihe directly and then quickly flee the country.
If Jiang Cheng didn't have the Danger Perception Skill and Qiu Yihe hadn't happened to be in this bar,
she would have likely met with misfortune by now.
Jiang Cheng remained silent for a few seconds, his thoughts racing.
He then picked up his phone and called Wang Houliang.
Wang Houliang was a member of the Security Bureau and had extensive experience and professional ability in handling such drug trafficking incidents.
The reason he didn't let Qiu Yihe directly contact the local Police to request backup for the case
was mainly because he hoped to grasp the entire sequence of events and have the right to be informed about the incident.
After the call connected, Jiang Cheng briefly and concisely explained the situation to Wang Houliang.
This included the drug trafficking background of those people and the video Qiu Yihe had captured.
Wang Houliang stated on the other end of the line that he would take immediate action and told Jiang Cheng to wait a moment.
"You're calling Deputy Director Wang?"
As soon as she said this, Qiu Yihe quickly added, "By the way, tell your Bodyguard to go easy on them. Don't let anything happen that would cause you trouble later."
Jiang Cheng seemed somewhat indifferent to Qiu Yihe's reminder.
He didn't even bother to lift his head.
He just gave a faint response: "Mm."
Seeing that Jiang Cheng seemed very displeased at the mention of those people, a slight curve unconsciously formed at the corner of Qiu Yihe's mouth.
After a dry cough, Qiu Yihe spoke again: "Is it a bit too much trouble to have Deputy Director Wang handle this personally? I could just call for backup..."
Jiang Cheng replied, "Those people have already seen your face. I don't feel comfortable leaving this to others."
Hearing this, Qiu Yihe's expression instantly turned to one of surprise.
She stared at Jiang Cheng with wide eyes, as if trying to find some clue on his face.
Coming from the Police academy, Qiu Yihe had her own set of methods for analyzing rhetoric and psychology.
Seeing Jiang Cheng staring back at her candidly, Qiu Yihe asked: "You... you know?"
Seeing this, the corners of Jiang Cheng's mouth curled up slightly as he asked in return: "Is it hard to find out?"
Qiu Yihe was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "For an ordinary person, it is naturally difficult to find out. Our identities are encrypted."
Jiang Cheng didn't deny it and continued: "I know. For a profession like yours, generally speaking, if the state makes your identity and portrait public, it means there are no living family members within three generations. An ordinary person indeed can't find out, but am I an ordinary person?"
Hearing this, the expression on Qiu Yihe's face clearly became somewhat solemn, and her lips were tightly pursed.
Then she spoke in a slightly low voice: "Then... don't tell my dad..."
Listening to Qiu Yihe's pleading words, Jiang Cheng didn't respond immediately. He just looked at her quietly, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
Seeing this, Qiu Yihe felt increasingly uneasy.
"What does that ambiguous smile of yours mean??"
Seeing that Jiang Cheng didn't speak and turned to walk toward the booth,
Qiu Yihe felt a bit helpless.
"Hey, little friend, wait for me..." Qiu Yihe shouted while quickly following him.
Since learning of Jiang Cheng's identity, Qiu Yihe had never called him that again.
However, at this moment, she unconsciously reverted to her previous carefree manner.
Hearing Qiu Yihe's shout, Jiang Cheng slowly turned around and waved his hand at her, signaling her to follow.
He replied unhurriedly: "I recall you're only 20, and I'm not exactly small either. If you keep provoking me like this, be careful or I'll..."
For some reason, even though Jiang Cheng knew her profession, Qiu Yihe didn't feel panicked at all.
On the contrary, she felt an unprecedented sense of relief.
This was probably the feeling of not having to wear a mask around someone close.
Hearing this, Qiu Yihe tilted her chin up defiantly.
"Oh? Or else what? You're not going to prove it here in public, are you? If that's the case, I wouldn't mind taking a look."
Jiang Cheng knew that because of her profession, Qiu Yihe naturally had a certain level of desensitization toward human organs.
But logically speaking, Qiu Yihe's psychological resilience should have come from various audio-visual materials.
He wondered if she could still be as calm as she was now when she saw it with her own eyes one day.
Perhaps out of curiosity about this question, Jiang Cheng suddenly thought it was quite interesting.
As for Qiu Yihe, Jiang Cheng felt quite conflicted in his heart.
After all, their families had a deep relationship, and it was the kind where the elders were close friends.
Once such a close relationship was handled improperly, the consequences would be very troublesome.
More importantly, it would very likely affect the friendship between his own father and Qiu Zheng.
Furthermore, at his age, Jiang Cheng had no interest in formal marriage talks.
Hearing Qiu Yihe's words, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but let out a soft chuckle.
"Wishful thinking. Do I look like such a casual boy? Sigh, in today's society, people's hearts are truly treacherous..." After sighing, Jiang Cheng continued while shaking his head, "A boy has to protect himself well when he's out. You look so proper, yet your head is full of this? Moral standards are declining indeed..."
These words clearly left Qiu Yihe momentarily speechless.
Seeing Jiang Cheng so shamelessly turn the tables on her, Qiu Yihe was momentarily speechless.
If Jiang Cheng hadn't started flirting with her first, how could she have said such rogue-like things? Qiu
Yihe secretly rolled her eyes and retorted crossly: "When I ran over just now, I clearly saw you holding two Girls and smiling so triumphantly. You look pretty casual to me..."
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng didn't show any panic; instead, he immediately looked solemn.
He replied seriously: "What are you thinking? This is a proper social occasion. These Girls don't have it easy. In this line of work, it's normal for their legs to shake and for'sticks' to be applied. Sometimes when a client gets excited and it goes on for a long time, they can't even say they're tired; they have to cooperate with the client to liven things up by singing all night. So, when I meet them, I help where I can."
Even though Qiu Yihe wasn't the type of woman to be easily fooled,
ultimately, she still lacked real-world experience.
Therefore, Jiang Cheng's graphic description didn't lead her to think deeper.
On the contrary, she agreed very much, saying: "That's true. They're wearing too little. It's only a few degrees outside now, and it might even drop below zero later. It's hard-earned money."
Just as Jiang Cheng wanted to say something more, Shen An, Fu Yang, and Lü Chengwen walked over.
Shen An asked with concern: "Brother Cheng, are you okay?"
Jiang Cheng shook his head and replied: "What could happen to me?"
In fact, the few of them had already seen the situation just now.
They had originally wanted to go over and help, but they saw Jiang Cheng's Bodyguards and the hotel security helping to clear the area.
They felt that going over might seem redundant and might even make them the center of attention.
So they didn't go over.
However, they were quite surprised that Jiang Cheng actually brought so many private Bodyguards when he went out.
To be honest, it was indeed a bit exaggerated.
After all, the few of them occasionally brought Bodyguards, but most of the time they traveled alone.
"Is this Sister-in-law?" Shen An asked with a smile.
Hearing this, Qiu Yihe didn't deny it; she just gave a slight smile.
When she walked in, she had noticed those Young Ladies from the Atmosphere Group who had originally been relaxed.
The moment they saw her, their faces immediately showed obvious wariness. This reaction made Qiu Yihe find it a bit amusing.
Didn't Jiang Cheng just say he wasn't a casual man?
With so many beautiful women present, Qiu Yihe wanted to see what Jiang Cheng would do.
In reality, Qiu Yihe was overthinking it.
What thoughts could Jiang Cheng have about these Girls from the Atmosphere Group?
Even if he did, he wouldn't care what they thought in their hearts.
Seeing that Qiu Yihe not only didn't deny it but also looked like she was watching a good show,
the corners of Jiang Cheng's mouth curled slightly, revealing a sly smile.
He directly reached out his arm, pulled Qiu Yihe tightly into his embrace, and then said with a smile: "Yeah..."
