Insufficient balance

  When Zhang Yang came back, he saw a standoff scene. What made him laugh was that Pan Hui was watching TV with a swagger in front of the female police officer, completely ignoring her existence. On the other hand, Yang Yi, Zhang Yang naturally wouldn't let her off, gave her a fierce glare, it's all because of this woman. In the future, he would definitely make her pay for what she did.

  "You are Zhang Yang, and I am Police Officer Yang Manli. Now, I suspect you of engaging in illegal activities. Come with me to assist in the investigation." Yang Manli walked up to Zhang Yang and stared into his eyes.

  This is their experience as police officers. If someone has a guilty conscience, their eyes will definitely flicker with anxiety, fear, and tension. Even if they maintain a good facial expression, their eyes won't lie.

  Unfortunately, Yang Manli chose the wrong person. Wanting to see Zhang Yang's heart from his eyes is an impossible task for a part-time job.

  Zhang Yang coldly smiled and said: "Wait for me to change into a new set of clothes!"

  After finishing speaking, she held up the clothes in her hands and walked into the inner bedroom.

  Yang Wei walked over and whispered: "Sister, he won't be destroying evidence, will he?"

  Yang Manli shook her head and said: "In such a small room, he can't make any move without my noticing. If he doesn't come out in a while, I'll barge in."

  "Oh, sister-in-law, look at him like an escaped prisoner? Can you handle it alone?" Yang Yi said.

  Yang Manli said confidently, "My grappling skills are the best in our team. Hmph, I don't know if he's a fugitive or not, but this person is definitely not an ordinary person. When have you ever seen an ordinary person so calm and composed when facing the police? And that nanny, we need to bring her back for questioning too."

  Yang couldn't help but laugh excitedly, for her, all of this was so novel and interesting.

  Just as the two were talking, Zhang Yang pushed open the door and walked out. Seeing Zhang Yang's attire, both of them were stunned, because Zhang Yang was wearing a police uniform.

  "You, you're a policeman?" Yang Manli asked with her mouth agape.

  "Impossible, how could you possibly be a police officer."

  Zhang Yang sneered, "Why not? Officer Yang Manli, this is my ID. I believe you can tell the difference between real and fake! If you can't, call back now to confirm. I am formally notifying you that you are suspected of intentionally obstructing me from performing national security tasks in accordance with the law, and intentionally or negligently leaking state secrets related to national security work. Please come with me to assist in the investigation."

  Yang Manli was disbelieving just now, but now she's afraid. Upon hearing Zhang Yang's words, she knew things were not going well. Holding onto her last shred of hope, she trembled as she opened Zhang Yang's police ID, and upon seeing the two characters "Guo An" (National Security), her heart skipped a beat - this time it was really over, she had stirred up trouble.

  Yang Wei saw her cousin's expression and pulled on her arm in fear: "Cousin, what's wrong?"

  Yang Manli glared at Yang Yi in annoyance, how could she have believed her words, causing such a big trouble. She hastily returned the documents to Zhang Yang and said: "Comrade, I'm sorry, it's my fault, I'll leave now."

  "Leave? You think it's that easy, I'm on a mission and because of you, my identity has been exposed. A simple 'sorry' can't fix this. And what about this little girl, Yang Yi, right? She keeps causing me trouble time and again, now I suspect she's a spy, everything she does is to expose my identity and sabotage my work. You, Yang Manli, as Yang Yi's cousin, have also been secretly investigating my identity, and today you even broke in here, as an accomplice, please come with me for investigation!" Zhang Yang said, taking out handcuffs.

  "Spy! I'm not, cousin I'm not! I don't want to go investigate, I don't want to go!" Yang Yi was really scared this time, and pulled Yang Manli's hand begging.

  Yang Manli is now also at a loss, anything involving national security work, not to mention her as a small police officer, even the director of the police station, the head of which branch, can only obediently accept the investigation order.

  "Comrade, this is really a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding." Yang Manli said. "Yang Yu, you still haven't apologized."

  Yang Wei cried: "Sorry, sorry, it was my fault for being reckless. I just thought you were mysterious and I was curious, I really wasn't a spy."

  "You don't need to explain anything, just go back to the bureau and accept the investigation. If there's no problem, each of you will be detained for 15 days. If problems are found, you won't have to come out. Don't worry, the investigation time won't be too long, just three or four months."

  Yang Yi, who was already very afraid, heard Zhang Yang say this and was so scared that she fell to the ground, unable to even get up. Yang Manli was also stunned, she had finally become a police officer with great difficulty, and it was a pride for her family, she had always been proud of her identity. If she were taken away today, even if she could come out, she would lose her job. Thinking of the hard work of her parents, begging people around, and getting this job, only to lose it like this. Yang Manli was also panicked.

  Zhang Yang coldly smiled as he looked at the two women, then walked over and sat down on the sofa.

  Pan Hui didn't understand how her master suddenly changed identities and became a police officer out of nowhere, but this didn't stop her from admiring Zhang Yang. She thought Zhang Yang was too cool. After going out for a spin and coming back, the annoying police officer from earlier was now sweating profusely, flustered and pale-faced, which was really satisfying to see. Pan Hui took out a cigarette from the ashtray on the tea table and lit one for Zhang Yang.

  Zhang Yang burst out laughing, and indeed, identity is an ineffable thing. If he didn't have this identity, it would be himself who's sweating profusely at this moment. Life is just so wonderful!

  "Comrade, this is all our fault, please let us off. I beg of you, she's just a child, she likes to fool around, it's really not espionage." Yang Manli pleaded.

  "It's not up to you to decide whether someone is a spy or not, it's up to us."

  This sentence made Yang Manli's heart sink to the bottom, thinking that she had just thought of herself as a police officer, whether it was legal or not was up to her to decide, and she didn't expect the retribution to come back so quickly. Before she could think of what to say, Zhang Yang's next sentence made her completely lose her composure.

  "I'm actually on a mission for the country. To keep it confidential, I specifically rented an apartment in this neighborhood and disguised myself as an ordinary person, because my identity may have already been exposed. It's not that I'm scaring you, but what you're doing is a crime, and we need to investigate your criminal liability! Even if you're not spies, you'll still have to spend a few years inside. Curious? Haven't you heard that curiosity can kill people? Don't say I didn't give you time, make a phone call home and confess, okay? Once you go in, it won't be easy to contact your family again." Zhang Yang said.

  Just now Yang Manli was still able to stand, but when she heard that they would be held criminally responsible, she couldn't stand it anymore and fell to the ground, staring blankly at Zhang Yang. Thinking that she would go from being a police officer to a criminal, Yang Manli really couldn't hold on anymore.

  "Officer, weren't you very capable just now? Didn't you want to search the room? Come and search now!" Pan Hui said with a light smile.

  "Shut up, what's your business?" Zhang Yang glared at her and said.

  "Comrade, we haven't told outsiders, no one knows your identity! Right, we haven't revealed your identity, really not! Outside, no one knows, as long as we don't say anything, it's fine, we can keep the secret. Xiaoyi, you won't talk nonsense, right?" Yang Manli grasped at the last straw and said.

  Yang Wei nodded vigorously and said: "I won't say anything, I won't say a word."

  Zhang Yang sneered and said nothing, walking to the window to gaze at the outside scenery.

  Pan Hui thought for a moment, stood up and walked to Yang Manli's side, squatted down and patted Yang Manli's shoulder, whispering: "Officer, don't say these useless things. If you want nothing to happen, just beg our leader nicely. Whether you'll be in prison or continue being a police officer depends on our leader."

  "Boss, I'll go make you a cup of coffee!"

  Zhang Yang nodded in satisfaction, this woman still had some use, when he couldn't say something himself, she could help him say it.

  As expected, after hearing Pan Hui say that, Yang Manli finally reacted and realized that the initiative was in Zhang Yang's hands. As long as he didn't pursue it, she and her cousin would be fine, but if he did, the two of them would only have a prison sentence waiting for them.
