Chapter 457 Going to Ma Xin's House
Zhao Lei looked at He Feng with a puzzled look on his face and asked, "Director, why are you giving me gold bars? What's going on?"
He Feng smiled, and then told Kong Xiangbin in detail about his encounter with him, as well as his intentions and requests. Finally, he solemnly warned, "Okay, you must do this properly for me. Remember, don't follow them easily, so as not to alert them, understand? You have to record these four gold bars and write that they were given to me by Kong Xiangbin."
Zhao Lei nodded seriously and said, "Director, don't worry, I know what to do."
He Feng thought about it again, and then said: "Also, you can help me investigate this Kong Xiangbin privately to see who he is. But you have to do this yourself, even if it's Zheng Qiang, you can't let him know, understand?"
Zhao Lei nodded again and said firmly: "Director, don't worry, I will keep my mouth shut and get things done."
He Feng was full of doubts about Kong Xiangbin's identity. Although he could not determine whether Kong Xiangbin was the superior of their gang, he felt that Kong Xiangbin was probably just a small fry, and there must be a more important figure above him who was controlling everything behind the scenes. And He Feng was determined to catch the big man who was hiding in the dark and controlling the overall situation.
He Feng looked at Zhao Lei seriously, his eyes revealing great solemnity, and reminded him again: "Remember, the importance of this matter cannot be overemphasized. It must be kept strictly confidential and no one should be informed of it. In addition, when the so-called "medicine" mentioned today appears, you must check it carefully to see if it is really the medicine as they say. Do you understand?"
Zhao Lei looked focused, nodded vigorously, and responded firmly: "Director, you can rest assured! I promise to keep this a secret and will never reveal it to anyone."
After He Feng got Zhao Lei's affirmative answer, he turned around and left with peace of mind. When he walked out of the Public Security Bureau, he happened to meet Ma Xin. He Feng was slightly stunned, then a friendly smile appeared on his face, and he took the initiative to greet him: "Ma Xin, what are you in such a hurry to do?"
Ma Xin knew very well why He Feng came to the Public Security Bureau, but she pretended not to know and asked curiously, "He Feng, why did you suddenly come to the Public Security Bureau?"
He Feng smiled and explained as if nothing had happened: "Oh, I came to see Zhao Lei for something. Look, it's almost time, and you're about to get off work. I haven't been to Uncle Luo's for a while, how about I treat you to a meal there? We can also have a good chat."
After hearing this, Ma Xin also smiled and said, "As long as you don't drink, you are actually quite easy to get along with. In the future, you really have to drink less. Drinking is too harmful to the body. Speaking of which, I haven't seen you for several days, and it is true that I feel a little..." Ma Xin paused here, and the rest of the words seemed a little difficult to say, so he didn't continue, but his eyes revealed a different kind of emotion.
He Feng had not noticed anything unusual before, but at this moment, the situation was completely different. Ever since Uncle Luo reminded him implicitly, He Feng had a vague suspicion in his heart, and he always felt that the "Ma Xin" he was talking to was not the one he knew well.
He Feng had a seemingly normal smile on his face, but his eyes were fixed on Ma Xin. He asked, "When was the last time you went to Uncle Luo's for dinner?"
Ma Xin was slightly stunned, then replied with a smile: "Well, I have to think about it carefully. Um... it seems like it has been a while." As she spoke, her eyes flickered slightly, as if she was trying hard to recall.
He Feng knew that this "Ma Xin" might be unaware of certain things that had happened before, but he was not sure whether Ma Xin had a dual personality or there were really two completely different "Ma Xins". This matter was like a fog that made He Feng unable to grasp it.
He Feng still kept smiling and said, "Yeah, time flies. Why don't we go to Uncle Luo's place now? I'm a little hungry all of a sudden, and I kind of miss Uncle Luo's cooking skills now."
Afterwards, He Feng and Ma Xin went to where Uncle Luo was. As soon as they arrived, He Feng showed an uncomfortable expression, looked at Uncle Luo and said, "Uncle Luo, please let Ma Xin order the dishes first. I still feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach and need to go to the toilet." As he spoke, he gently rubbed his stomach, pretending to be in pain.
Uncle Luo was so smart that he understood He Feng's intention in an instant, so he turned to look at Ma Xin and said, "Ma Xin, you should order the dishes and ignore him. He always makes so many troubles every time we eat."
Ma Xin smiled and nodded, and said with concern: "Maybe he drank too much recently and hurt his stomach. When I have time, I will definitely take him to the hospital for a good check-up."
Uncle Luo looked carefully at Ma Xin in front of him and indeed felt that she was a little different from before, but he couldn't tell exactly what was different and could only wonder silently in his heart.
Ma Xin picked up a pen, wrote down a few dish names on the menu, and said, "Uncle Luo, although I can usually eat spicy food, let's put less spiciness this time. After all, He Feng has been drinking these days, and his appetite may not be very good. Eating too spicy food is not good for the stomach."
Uncle Luo responded, took the menu and returned to the kitchen. As soon as he took a look at the words on the menu, Uncle Luo realized something was wrong. The handwriting this time was obviously different from Ma Xin's last handwriting, but if you look closely, you can find that there are many similarities with Ma Xin's previous handwriting. This strange situation made Uncle Luo confused for a while, and he didn't know what to do.
After a while, He Feng came back from outside. Uncle Luo had already started cooking. He Feng looked at Ma Xin and asked casually, "What did you just say to Uncle Luo?"
Ma Xin patted He Feng lightly and said, "Alright, alright, I'll tell Uncle Luo that you drink a lot and now you have a poor appetite and can't eat spicy food. I'll ask him to put less chili in the food, which is good for the stomach. You, you better be more careful in the future."
He Feng smiled slightly and said, "You are so thoughtful. I didn't think so much about it. I feel at ease with you by my side."
When Ma Xin heard what He Feng said, her cheeks instantly turned red, and she lowered her head in embarrassment. Seeing this, He Feng was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.
