Chapter 293 That was the tacit understanding cultivated since the days of wearing open-crotch pants.

"Hey, isn't this Zhu Laoqi? What brings you here, old man!" An Yun noticed the tall man standing outside the branch office and immediately launched into a blatantly sarcastic remark.

"It's just a wicked wind, what else could it be!" Fang Meng rolled his eyes without any politeness, took the head off the little girl's head, curled the corners of his mouth, put one hand in his pocket, and stood with one leg crossed, instantly revealing his roguish and irresponsible demeanor.

"Wow, this wind is really strong! It can blow such a big bear all the way from Beijing to Northeast China."

An Yun chuckled lightly, and she and Fang Meng, in perfect Beijing accent and affected manner, successfully changed Zhu Bao's expression completely.

"Hey you two, there's no need to go that far. It's rare for us all to meet here, don't act like we have some kind of grudge." Ge Xuejun finally had a chance to come out, and as soon as he came out, he heard the two brothers making sarcastic remarks about his older brother. He walked over speechlessly.

"Tch!" An Yun scoffed sarcastically. "Don't try to curry favor with me. There's no fool here. You're here on behalf of the Municipal Criminal Investigation Team, aren't you? You're here to cause trouble for my sister, and you expect us to give you the time of day? What a nerve!"

As Bai Nuo's legitimate cousin, An Yun had more authority to protect her than Fang Meng, so from the very beginning, he was the one who went directly to Bai Nuo's side to protect her.

After all, these days, relationships between men and women can easily turn into serious problems if not handled properly.

Even so, Fang Meng remained standing behind Bai Nuo, coldly watching the person opposite him. Neither Zhu Bao nor Ge Xuejun found this strange. As children who grew up in the top circles of Beijing, everyone knew about the relationship between the Bai siblings and the Fang brothers.

Therefore, Zhu Bao didn't think Fang Meng had any problems; he simply disliked An Yun.

younger sister!

That's not just your sister, what are you so smug about!

Zhu Bao pursed his lips tightly, then sighed helplessly. He didn't even have the right to argue.

After all, when it comes to affection, he, as a blood cousin, can never compare to An Yun, a cousin who is not related by blood but has been with the little girl as she grew up.

An Yun was responsible for attracting the enemy's attention by making a lot of noise at the front, while Fang Meng stayed at the rear and observed secretly.

Suddenly noticing the complex look that flashed across Zhu Bao's eyes, he frowned slightly, then his eyes flickered, and he said, "Seventh Brother Zhu, you should know that Bai Nuo of the Bai family is not someone you can take away for interrogation as you please."

Zhu Bao's first words did indeed have a probing meaning, but he no longer had that intention. He sighed and softened his tone: "You two have misunderstood. If we wanted to interrogate Comrade Bai, we would just send two people over with proper paperwork to take him to the Municipal Bureau. No matter who it is, they have to obey when faced with proper paperwork, right?"

However, in order not to damage Comrade Bai's reputation, I only brought Ge Xuejun and another colleague from the Criminal Investigation Department today. I just have a few questions for Comrade Bai, and I hope that Comrade Bai, as an ordinary citizen, will cooperate with our police investigation.

That statement has a completely different meaning!

Being interrogated as a suspect would mean that even if Bai Nuo had no problems, it would still have some impact on her reputation.

They can cooperate with the police investigation, but they won't!

An Yun's eyes flashed with doubt, and she turned to look at Fang Meng, raising her eyebrows slightly.

An Yun: Is your family related to the Zhu family? Isn't that guy known for being incorruptible?

Fang Meng curled his lip slightly: What do we have to do with each other? Every time his old man and Old Master Zhu meet, they wish they could sit on each other's faces!

However, Bai Nuo suddenly tilted her head subconsciously, looking curiously at Zhu Bao's face.

Rugged and imposing, with thick eyebrows and large eyes, it was a face that exuded righteousness even in its features.

The more I look at it, the more familiar it seems!

“Okay, then you can ask!” Bai Nuo nodded first.

Since her two older brothers had already taken care of giving her a show of force, it was naturally her turn to offer a way out.

It has to be said that the three of them are truly childhood friends who have been inseparable since they were little, always messing around and teasing each other. Even though they had no prior communication, when things suddenly happened, they had an unspoken understanding and knew each other's meaning without needing to communicate, thus minimizing all the crises.

Liu Yanan envied their tacit understanding. She knew that it would be difficult for others to follow their train of thought, after all, this was something that the three of them had cultivated since they were toddlers.

But it doesn't matter if she can't keep up. She's smart. She'll keep quiet and obediently do whatever she's told.

Zhu Bao and the others realized that the seeds of this conflict had been sown from the very first words An Yun and Fang Meng spoke to them.

It seemed sarcastic, but in fact, the very first sentence was already a test of him.

Every word they uttered was both offensive and defensive, flawless, so even if he understood them, he could only go along with what they were saying.

Fortunately, I softened my tone quickly and made my stance clear, otherwise... I don't know how these three would have tricked me.

No wonder my grandfather always said that those little brats raised by aristocratic families start to grow cunning even when they're still in the amniotic fluid, and who knows what they might say that could be a trap.

Zhu Bao sighed silently to himself, then smiled at Bai Nuo, trying to appear more kind and gentle: "Thank you for your support, Comrade Bai. Let's go inside first. I just borrowed a small meeting room from a colleague at the branch office, so let's chat there."
