Chapter 181

Of course, he also knew that it was not the time to make trouble yet. He always had to find a good opportunity. He would let Ji Tao and Zhang Kaishan know who the real boss of Shangjun County was.

Luo Ming'an entering the detention center made Jin Taihe lose face. Not only was it a loss of face, but his sister ran to his house every day to cry and complain, which also made him very annoyed. Of course, there was also some heartache. After all, she was his sister, and he had always regarded Luo Ming'an as his own. How could Jin Taihe feel good in his heart when he entered the detention center?

However, now that Luo Ming'an was locked up in the county, Jin Taihe was also helpless. Although he had been walking relatively close to Xu Shixie and Tao Yan during this period, how could a deputy township head in his fifties really be valued by them? It was impossible for others to help as if it were their own business.

Therefore, Jin Taihe hated Lei Ming to the bone. These days, he always made excuses to find fault with Lei Ming, criticizing him for no reason.

However, Lei Ming was mentally prepared long ago. He didn't take these things to heart at all. He only regarded Jin Taihe's criticism as the venting of a loser.

Not only Jin Taihe, but Lei Ming also heard rumors within the Public Security Bureau, saying that Tao Yan had said that as long as he was in the position of Public Security Bureau Director for one day, Lei Ming would stay honestly in the Meng Hu Ling Township Police Station, and he should never think about being transferred back to the county seat in his life.

After hearing this news, Lei Ming knew that Su Xinghui must have played a role; otherwise, the procuratorate could not have approved the arrest this time, and Tao Yan could not have been so understated in retaliating against him, only able to vent with such harsh words as never transferring him back to the county seat in his life.

Lei Ming was formerly the deputy captain of the county bureau's public security brigade. It was because his personality was too upright and he didn't know how to give gifts and pull connections that he offended Tao Yan and was sent to Meng Hu Ling Township. Anyway, Lei Ming didn't count on Tao Yan to transfer him back. Now that he heard such words, he just smiled it off.

This afternoon, Lei Ming specifically called Su Xinghui and asked him to go to the police station to drink. Su Xinghui agreed and went over when it was time to get off work.

Lei Ming lived in a single dormitory in the police station. He asked the cafeteria chef to make a small hot pot, stewing fish head and tofu, and then there was a plate of peanuts, a plate of orchid beans, and the fried meatballs unique to Meng Hu Ling that could be put into the hot pot. Of course, there were also green vegetables like Chinese cabbage and garland chrysanthemum that could be put in.

As soon as Su Xinghui arrived, Lei Ming picked up a bottle of Shangjun Daqu and poured a bowl of wine into two large coarse porcelain bowls. A bottle of wine was empty. He handed a bowl of wine to Su Xinghui and said, "Come, Little Su, drink. We don't have those small cups like your township government here, so just use this to drink!"

Su Xinghui took the bowl and smiled, "Alright, this bowl is quite good, it's refreshing to drink!"

Lei Ming was a soldier, and he liked hearty men who drank from large bowls. Su Xinghui's straightforwardness made him add more favor to Su Xinghui. He laughed and said, "I didn't expect you, a college student, to be so straightforward. Come, take a sip!"

The two raised their bowls together and took a sip of wine.

Lei Ming put down the bowl, picked up his chopsticks, pointed to the hot pot, and said, "Come, eat vegetables. Our cafeteria chef's craftsmanship is quite good, it's just that this place is a bit shabby, don't mind my neglect!"

This place was indeed very simple. The police station's single dormitory was very small, and a dormitory was at most seven or eight square meters. Lei Ming just put his desk horizontally in front of the bed, used the desk as a dining table, sat on the bed himself, and let Su Xinghui sit on the only chair.

Su Xinghui smiled, "Chief Lei, your conditions here are already much better than mine. I still have two people living in one dormitory there."

Lei Ming knew about the township government's single dormitory, and it was indeed two people in one room. He nodded, ate a chopstick of fish meat, and then said, "Little Su, thank you for this matter!"

Su Xinghui said, "Chief Lei, don't be polite with me. It's mainly because I also hate Crazy Luo. He should be punished by the law. You didn't do anything wrong in this matter, so why wouldn't I help you?"

Lei Ming laughed again and said, "Alright, I won't be polite with you. You don't be polite with me in the future either. Don't call me Chief Lei anymore, it sounds awkward. I'm a few years older than you, so just call me Brother Lei."

Su Xinghui was not pretentious. He raised his wine bowl and said, "Alright, Brother Lei, then let's take another sip!"

Lei Ming happily raised his wine bowl and took another sip with Su Xinghui.

Su Xinghui put down the wine bowl, ate a piece of tofu, and asked, "Brother Lei, how often do you usually go home?"

Lei Ming said, "Usually once every two weeks. Don't look at Meng Hu Ling as poor; the public security cases are no less than in the county seat, so I can't go back often."
