Security Guard's Blind Date

  The police station, the duty room's rooftop police light emitted a dizzying red and blue alternating glow that could be seen from far away in the dark night. Officer Xiao Hu was taking notes for Liu Ziguang.

  "Why beat others?"

  "I think."

  "What an attitude!" Little Hu stood up in anger.

  "You look cute when you're angry." Liu Ziguang said recklessly, propping himself up against Xiao Hu's chest which was heaving with anger, while lifting his legs onto the table.

  Xiao Hu was furious and laughed, but instead sat down again: "I'm telling you Liu Ziguang, even if this suspect really has a previous conviction, as long as he hasn't been caught committing a current crime, it doesn't count. But the charge of assault is something you can't escape, I can have you detained for disturbing public order and held for 15 days."

  "You let the thief go and instead detain the one who caught him. Is this what you learned in police school? You can try detaining me." Liu Ziguang was extremely arrogant.

  "Hey!" Xiaohu slammed the file folder on the desk and reached for the handcuffs on the wall, when suddenly the duty room door opened and Old Wang poked his head in: "Xiaohu, come here for a moment."

  Xiao Hu glared at Liu Ziguang fiercely and stormed out, slamming the door behind her. In the corridor, Old Wang handed her a freshly printed document and said, "We've caught a big fish! That guy is a wanted fugitive online, who has committed over a dozen crimes in neighboring provinces, all of which were high-end residential areas, with an amount involved exceeding 500,000 yuan, and he's also got a murder on his hands. You're going to make a great achievement this time!"

  As he spoke, Old Wang patted Xiao Hu's shoulder affectionately. "Your father will definitely be proud of you."

  "Really?!" The little girl's eyes sparkled with excitement, her toes tapping up and down, almost jumping up. Suddenly, she looked disappointed and said: "Then Liu Ziguang can't be detained, no matter what he is a meritorious person."

  Old Wang said solemnly, "Little Hu, we've investigated this person before, and he has no record of any case. As public security personnel, we can't look at people with colored glasses. Since he is willing to work as a security guard honestly, we should support him."

  Xiao Hu bit his lip and nodded: "Understood, Uncle Wang."

  A moment later, Xiao Hu came in from outside with a stern face, threw the transcript in front of Liu Ziguang and said stiffly: "Sign your name, press your fingerprint, and you can go."

  "Am I not to be detained?" Liu Ziguang joked, grabbed the pen and signed with a flourish, pressed a fingerprint, handed it back to Little Hu, pushed open the door and strode away.

  Xiao Hu took the pen record, looked at the signature and bright red handprint, secretly thought: I don't believe I won't find your old bottom! But she didn't notice that a pair of handcuffs were missing from the wall.

  ……

  "Notorious thief finally caught, rookie policewoman shows her prowess!" This was the headline of yesterday's morning newspaper in this city. Policewoman Hu Rong from the local police station was clever and brave, with a keen eye for spotting the culprit's disguise, and with the help of three security guards at Zhicheng Garden, she successfully apprehended the thief, earning praise from the municipal bureau leaders and warm applause from the crowd.

  The small Hu smiled awkwardly and stiffly in the newspaper, not like a heroine who caught the culprit, but rather like a female thief who was caught. Small Hu put down the newspaper in annoyance, very dissatisfied with his colleagues in the Municipal Bureau's Propaganda Department. The culprit was clearly caught by Liu Ziguang, but because his father was the Secretary of the Municipal Politics and Law Committee, they could brazenly distort the truth and attribute the honor to themselves. It really made one feel indescribably uncomfortable.

  That Liu Ziguang is not a good thing, he actually took the handcuffs from the duty room and got himself criticized by the political commissar. Next time I have the chance, I will definitely give him some color to see.

  ……

  Inside Zhicheng Garden Property Company, Liu Ziguang was also secretly amused when he saw the newspaper that day. The group company had already learned about this matter, and the deputy general manager in charge of property personally called to reward the security guard who caught the culprit.

  Manager Gao had no choice but to promote Liu Ziguang one level, from ordinary security guard to security team leader, and also gave him a bonus of 500 yuan.

  The news spread to the family, and Dad was overjoyed. He told everyone that his son had made a name for himself, having been promoted after only three days on the job. The old man was happy, and Liu Ziguo was also delighted.

  After becoming the leader, it's more convenient to arrange working hours. Colleagues like to find Liu Ge when they have something to do, and instead, they set aside White Captain, who is anxious but can't do anything. After all, Liu Ziguang's reputation has already spread to the group.

  That noon, Liu Ziguo drove home and parked his car outside the alley, walking towards home. He saw his mother accompanying a heavily made-up woman in her 40s wearing a pink suit, who gave Liu Ziguo a meaningful glance before looking at the car at the entrance of the alley. She then pulled his mother's hand and said: "Sister, don't forget to come to Anli Zhang teacher's class tonight."

  After seeing off Xu Niang, Old Mother's face lit up with a mysterious smile and said: "Xiao Guang, come inside to try on the clothes and see if they fit."

  There was a jacket and a pair of black trousers on the bed at home, which felt smooth to the touch but didn't seem like good fabric. Mom took out a shirt from the box and compared it with Liu Ziguang's back, saying: "These clothes were all bought by someone I entrusted with famous brands, Yager shirts are over 80 after discount, that jacket is called Jibao menswear, they all say it's good, it's a brand that can enter the Louvre in France, you're not young anymore, you should add some decent clothes, hurry up and change into them to let mom see."

  Liu Ziguang had no choice but to change into a brand new set of clothes and stand there, letting his mother examine him from left to right. This suit was bought according to his mother's impression of Liu Ziguang's figure, so the size was a bit tight, but it was passable. Seeing his mother's delighted expression, Liu Ziguang asked in surprise: "Mom, we're not going on a blind date, why dress up so nicely?"

  Mom said, "It's just a blind date. Yesterday, neighbor Chen aunt saw your car and thought you'd made a fortune. She came to me early this morning and said she wanted to arrange a partner for you. The girl has a formal job and is pretty, you must take it seriously."

  "Huh, is this really a good thing? Then I'll go take a look." Liu Ziguang didn't want to hurt the old man's feelings, so he readily agreed.

  Seeing her son agree to the blind date, the old mother was even more delighted. She took out a handkerchief package from the drawer of the large wardrobe and handed over a bank card to Liu Ziguang: "You're not young anymore, you can't delay it any longer. Be generous when meeting, and one more thing, never say you're working as a security guard, just say you're doing management work in a property company. This card is a debit card, take it with you and use it, the receipt will be kept by mom here, if you have spare money, put it inside, it's time to save up for marriage..."

  "Poor parents of the world, Liu Ziguang took over the money card and said: 'Don't worry, I have a plan.'"

  ……

  At 6:30 in the evening, Liu Ziguo drove his car to the central square and stopped by the side of the road. He walked to the fountain in the middle of the square and stood there for five minutes before his phone rang. When he picked it up, the other party hung up immediately. As he looked up, two girls appeared in front of him, one tall and thin, the other short and fat, forming a striking contrast. The shorter, fatter girl with a face full of freckles asked Liu Ziguo, "Are you Liu Ziguo?"

  Liu Ziguang said: "It's me."

  The freckled chubby girl said: "We were introduced by Teacher Chen Anli, now I'm giving you a chance to invite two beauties for dinner, hehe, of course, mainly inviting her, and I'll just tag along for the meal." As she spoke, she pushed the tall beauty next to her over.

  She's said to be tall, but she's only about 1.6 meters, mainly because the person next to her is really too short, which makes her look a bit elevated. This beauty has some charm, wearing a small windbreaker that can't see her waist, wearing boots, with a cold and beautiful demeanor, ignoring Liu Ziguang.

  Liu Ziguang was a bit unhappy, but for the sake of his mother's face, he pretended to be very enthusiastic and said: "The two beauties haven't eaten yet, I'll treat you to dinner."

  The freckled fat girl said: "Those restaurants are not hygienic, we only eat KFC."

  Liu Ziguang didn't know what KFC was and asked in confusion: "What?" The freckled fat girl immediately showed a disdainful expression, pointing to the large sign of KFC under the vice building of Di Hao Commercial Building on the edge of the square: "It's over there."

  Liu Ziguang walked ahead, with the two women following behind him. Liu Ziguang had keen hearing and could still hear the whispers of the two women even though they were several steps away.

  A freckled, chubby girl who was about 1.5 meters tall muttered: "Look at him, he's really tacky, like a rural cadre, he doesn't look bad, but he's too short, not even 1.8 meters, just a second-rate cripple."

  The beautiful woman just snorted indifferently, as if she didn't even bother to comment on Liu Ziguang.

  Three people walked into the Pizza Hut restaurant, just as two girls were walking out of the Emperor Commercial Building. They were originally laughing and chatting happily, but one of them suddenly saw Liu Ziguang's back and the two women, and was stunned. Her companion asked: "Fang Xi, what's wrong with you? Your face is so pale."

  The little nurse Fang said in a low voice: "Nothing, I suddenly don't feel very comfortable."

  ……

  Today is not the weekend, so there are still some empty seats in Pizza Hut. The three of them sat down at a table by the window, and the waitress handed over the menu. The freckled fat girl snatched it away and ordered a large number of dishes including pizza, roasted lamb chops, baked rice, spaghetti, salad, chicken wings, desserts, etc., estimated to be around 1,000 yuan.

  The pizza was served quickly, and the two girls started eating on their own, whispering to each other while completely ignoring Liu Ziguang. It wasn't until half a day later that the freckled chubby girl seemed to suddenly remember there was someone else beside her, wiped her oily hands, and asked: "Handsome guy, introduce your basic situation."

  Liu Ziguang was about to speak when the cold and proud beauty suddenly let out a dry cough, stood up, picked up her small bag and said: "Excuse me, I'll go to the restroom first." The freckled chubby girl also quickly got up to accompany her.

  Liu Ziguang also had some urge to urinate, so he got up and went to the bathroom. As he walked around the corner, he heard the conversation between the two women. The freckled fat woman said: "Lili, is your reaction that strong?"

  The beautiful woman covered her lower abdomen and said: "This little thing is kicking me again, how annoying."

  The freckled fat girl said: "Lili, did you notice the way that person looked at you? I think he must be captivated by you."

  The beautiful woman just hummed a sound, probably very confident in her own personal charm.

  "Alas, if that black man hadn't returned to his country, Lili, you wouldn't have ended up so miserable. Now it's best to get married as soon as possible, humph, and let that local rascal take advantage of you."

  The beautiful woman with a cold expression corrected somewhat displeased: "Jack is an American, not just any black man."

  On the other side, Liu Ziguang was already furious, about to explode in anger but restrained himself. After all, this is a society governed by law and he couldn't act rashly. He pretended nothing was wrong and returned to his seat, but didn't notice that a pair of eyes had been staring at him from the corner of the restaurant.

  "Xiao Hu, what are you looking at?" asked Yang Feng, a police officer from the sub-bureau's public security team, puzzled. Sitting across from him, female police officer Hu Rong from the local police station snorted coldly and said, "Nothing, just saw a little hoodlum from our jurisdiction."

  Yang Feng turned his head to look back, and with the professional eyes of a public security officer, he sized up Liu Ziguang for a moment, feeling that he was not worth mentioning, so he stopped discussing this person and continued to talk about his own heroic deeds in the wrestling competition at the branch bureau, making Little Hu laugh out loud.

  The two beauties who went to wash their hands returned to their seats, and the freckled fat girl coughed and said: "After our investigation, we have initially determined that you are qualified, and you can now get along with Lili." Then her two small eyes stared at Liu Ziguang, expecting to see his ecstatic expression.

  Liu Ziguang's mouth curled up with a hint of sarcastic smile, saying: "What kind of exchange method?"

  Lili frowned and said impatiently, "As for you, Aunt Chen has briefly introduced your situation. Honestly, your conditions are quite poor, but I can make do. Here's the deal: we'll get married on National Day, don't need too much dowry, 200,000 is enough, if it's more, I'm afraid you won't be able to afford it. A house is a must, the wedding house should have three bedrooms and two living rooms in my name, and after marriage, we'll live separately. Your parents can come visit once a month at most."

  Liu Ziguang nodded repeatedly, took out a pen and pretended to take notes. After Lili finished speaking, he asked: "Are there any other requirements?"

  "Yes." Lili said coldly, "After marriage, we'll sleep in separate rooms, you can't touch me."

  "Oh? Excuse me, is your 13 inlaid with gold?" Liu Ziguang's mouth opened into an O shape, and he asked with feigned surprise.

  "Hey!" Lili was shocked by Liu Ziguang's shamelessness, this man actually spoke so crudely in such an elegant place like Pizza Hut, it was really astonishing. The freckled beauty was stunned for a moment before exploding, standing up and shouting: "Who do you think you are? You don't even have a house! If your mom hadn't agreed to buy our Amway products from Chen Auntie, we wouldn't even bother with you, country bumpkin!"

  Actually, Liu Ziguang is quite well-mannered. He originally just wanted to tease the two of them, but when he heard the freckled fat girl mention his own mother, he suddenly became furious and flipped the table over, splashing pizza salad and soup all over the two women's bodies.

  The freckled fat girl was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and she hadn't even hurt a single hair, but she started yelling like a pig being slaughtered: "Save me! Someone's hitting me!" The customers in the restaurant who were eating turned their heads to look over.

  Officer Hu Rong had always hated men who beat women. She suddenly stood up to intervene, but was pressed down by Yang Feng's shoulder: "Little Hu, let me do it."
