QQ Lost - Chapter 20
Maria suddenly leaned closer to him and whispered in a low, flat Chinese voice, "The payment, it's agreed, Maria told you to ask for it from you."
"Oh!" Xu Haibing didn't think much of it and obediently took out a few banknotes.
Maria, no longer caring about maintaining her composure, took the bill, licked her lips, and started counting. After counting, she twirled her fingers. Xu Haibing quickly understood and took out two more bills to make up the difference.
Maria then put the money into her inner pocket, satisfied. Xu Haibing caught sight of something in an instant and reached out to touch her slightly heaving breasts, startling her so much that she instinctively hugged herself to protect them.
Xu Haibing explained seriously, "I'll just take a look."
"Ah?!" Maria's face paled.
Xu Haibing further explained in detail: "I mean I didn't see it clearly just now. Can you lift it up again and let me take a closer look? I'll just look, I won't touch it."
"What?!" Maria was horrified.
"Don't move." Xu Haibing suddenly stopped, his hand gently reaching to the fabric of her coat, which was being pulled up by Maria's embrace, and carefully opening it—
The inner pocket prominently displays a logo resembling a stylized letter M!
"That logo looks so familiar!" Xu Haibing glared at it, racking his brains but unable to recall where he'd seen it before. Luckily, he wasn't completely stupid, so he quickly found an excuse: "M? Mei? Oh, I was wondering why I'd never seen it before, so it's a brand for beautiful women."
Maria, relieved to be free from a terrifying misunderstanding, didn't forget to glare fiercely at the reckless man in front of her.
"Hello, hello!" Xiao You waved her ticket at the rowing entrance and called out. Maria quickly responded and ran over.
Xu Haibing lingered, admiring Maria's vibrant and graceful figure, especially the curve of her taut hips, which made his heart pound and his blood rush. He watched her and Xiao You side by side as they checked their tickets and boarded the ship hand in hand. He couldn't help but feel that it was not worth it for Xiao You to plunder her beauty, and a surge of jealousy rose within him. He couldn't help but hurry after her.
"Ticket required." At the entrance of the cruise ship, the gatekeeper stopped Xu Haibing, who was slightly dazed by the allure.
Xu Haibing pulled out a ten-yuan note, shoved it into the gatekeeper's hand, and burst through the door.
At this moment, Xiao You had already started the electric boat with great pride.
Xu Haibing shouted, "Wait for me!" Maria stood up and waved to him, "Bye-bye! Don't forget to send--" The electric boat turned and headed towards the middle of the river. She swayed and fell into Xiao You's arms.
Xu Haibing saw it all, feeling a pang of jealousy and deep resentment...
QQ Lost - Part 4

According to Ma Ya's plan, after transferring Xiao You away under the pretext of introducing her to a potential partner, the next step should have been for her and Xu Haibing to go to the West Suburbs Police Station to seize the opportunity and "steal" the hard drive back. Now that Ma Ya is nowhere to be seen, Xu Haibing has to go alone and venture into the lion's den.
"Hey, what brings you here?" Da Yu was scratching an itch with one foot propped up on a chair.
"Welcoming the east wind of the 16th National Congress." Xu Haibing placed the bag he was carrying on the desk next to Da Yu's, then sat down. After all, he had been arrested before and knew that this desk belonged to Xiao You.
"Wow, quite a background, huh?" Da Yu pointed to the kettle on the coffee table. "We don't have purified water here; we boil our own. If you don't mind, just pour it yourself."
"Heh, even after years out of the military, he hasn't forgotten his tough spirit. If we don't cultivate comrades like him, we'll really be letting down the people and the Party." Xu Haibing joked, but in his heart he thought, "Even if you're just tickling my toes, who would dare drink the water?"
"It's not about the hardship of working hard; it's mainly that I can't get used to the water. My stomach, which was fine drinking rainwater and ditch water back on the front lines of Laoshan, suddenly gets diarrhea after drinking that purified water."
"If everyone acted like you, wouldn't all the water purification plants have to shut down?"
"Why close down? Turn it into a medicine factory, specializing in treating constipation."
"Wow, that's creative." Xu Haibing tapped the desk in front of him: "Isn't this Xiao You's designated seat? Where is he?"
"He's on night duty at the stall tonight, he hasn't arrived yet. Do you need to see him?" Da Yu stopped scratching and put on his socks.
"It's nothing, I can tell you. My computer doesn't have a printer, so I wanted to get some homework materials from you."
"Oh, so you're taking advantage of me."
"They didn't even manage to take advantage of you; to be precise, they were taking advantage of taxpayers, or more accurately, they were taking advantage of taxpayers' paper, their A4-sized copy paper." Xu Haibing said, picking up a stack of white paper from the computer desk, straightening it, and preparing to put it into the printer, when his eyes suddenly lit up—
What a coincidence! A hard drive that was originally hidden under the paper has been exposed!
Xu Haibing was secretly pleased. He glanced at Da Yu behind him and, seeing that he wasn't looking this way, quietly took the briefcase he had brought and placed it on the hard drive. Then he took out a floppy disk from the bag and pretended to look at it, saying, "Oh, I took the wrong disk. I have to go back and exchange it." As he spoke, he casually put the hard drive from under the bag into the bag.
Da Yu asked casually, "What happened? Didn't work out?" Xu Haibing picked up her bag and walked out, feigning innocence after getting what she wanted: "Well, if things aren't going well, you can't even take advantage of someone. Sorry to bother you, goodbye."
"Take care, don't bother seeing me out." Da Yu said, habitually sniffing the hand he'd just used to scratch his foot, and chuckled to himself, "Sigh, what illness could I have contracted in the foxholes, but this 'embroidered foot disease'! At least it's a little better than the platoon leader's 'embroidered ball disease', at least it doesn't stop me from getting intimate with my wife..."
Xu Haibing had just hurriedly stepped out of the courtyard when a pair of withered, trembling hands grabbed his chest.
An elderly woman with white hair cried and snot streamed down her face, pleading, "Police officers, you must help me! My unfilial son has married a wife and forgotten his mother..."
Xu Haibing quickly broke free and pointed into the yard: "Go find that big dark-faced guy, he can stand up for you..."
Overwhelmed by his unexpected success, Xu Haibing hailed a taxi and sped to his residential complex. He rushed into his apartment building, climbed countless flights of stairs, pulled out his keys, and went to open the security door.
After trying to open the lock for a long time without success, Xu Haibing became frustrated and started pounding on the door with his fist.
The door opened, and a woman's face, covered in white skin cream and adorned with cucumber slices, suddenly appeared. Xu Haibing shuddered in horror, immediately realizing she had gone to the wrong door. She pointed downwards and scurried down.
He went down one floor and tried to open the door with the key, but after turning it for a long time, he still couldn't open it. Frustrated, he raised his fist and pounded on the door again.
The door opened, and this time a white skull mask emerged, startling Xu Haibing. Thinking she had made a mistake again, she was about to continue running downstairs when she suddenly realized that this was her own home. She reached out to pull the mask, and to her horror, blood began to flow from the skull's mouth. Caught off guard, Xu Haibing cried out in terror!
The blood-dripping white skull chuckled, and when it was removed, it revealed Mao Dan's mischievous face once again.
"You little rascal! You really scared me to death! Ouch, my heart almost jumped out of my chest..." Xu Haibing entered the house, caught his breath, took the hard drive out of his bag and handed it to Mao Dan: "Quick, make amends, connect the hard drive and open it again."
"Sigh, anyway, my once pure little hands are now stained with sin, so I might as well give up." Mao Dan looked helpless. Actually, he couldn't possibly not understand the simple principle that if you play on someone else's computer, you should serve them.
Mao Dan crawled into the room and quickly completed the connection and conversion of the external hard drive. At this point, Shen Daxing's desktop should be displayed on the screen.
"Hmm, where did QQ go?" Xu Haibing became suspicious when he didn't see the cute little penguin icon. He then opened "My Documents" and saw that the file directory on the screen was full of documents such as "Case Analysis of Case X," "Investigation Report of Case X," and "Identification of Suspect X's Illegal Acts." He couldn't help but slap his thigh in frustration: "Oh no, oh no, I took the wrong one."
Seeing that things were going badly, Mao Dan asked, "What's wrong?"
Xu Haibing truthfully reported, "We've gotten ourselves into trouble. We opened confidential documents from the police station. We need to return them right away." He was about to close the window when his eyes suddenly froze—
The only file directory displayed on the screen is labeled with a letter: Ga
He sensed something, and cautiously moved the mouse to open Ga!
The first thing you see is a black title:
Summary of the situation regarding Guo Qinqin's alleged online fraud
Xu Haibing was startled and shocked!
Just then, he heard a knock at the door from the outer room. He turned around and saw that Mao Dan was gone. He peeked outside and, lo and behold! Mao Dan was frantically opening the door and running away.
"Come back! Where do you think you're going!"
Mao Dan looked flustered: "I'm in big trouble now. I'd better hurry home and hide. If the police come, please don't give me away, okay? The school's induction ceremony hasn't even started yet."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Come and download a file for me right now."
"Oh dear, Uncle, please spare me! I wouldn't dare mess with the police, please!" Mao Dan said, about to leave.
"Where do you think you're going? We're in this together now, neither of us can escape!" Xu Haibing strode over, grabbed him, dragged him into the house, and shoved him onto the computer seat: "Quickly download the 'Ga' file for me, so I can buy some time to sneak the hard drive back without anyone noticing, otherwise..."
Mao Dan stammered in fear, "What?!"
Xu Haibing pretended to be fierce and grabbed his neck: "We're both finished!"
After downloading the Ga file, Xu Haibing clutched the bag containing the hard drive that wasn't what he wanted and rushed back to the West Suburbs Police Station.
"Sir, what kind of decision did you make for that old lady who came to you for help?!" he shouted before even entering the house, presumably to cover up his guilty conscience. But once inside, his guilt only intensified, and his legs went weak—
Xiao You and the long-haired girl were leaning tightly together with their backs to the door!
"Oh, I didn't see anything--" Xu Haibing solemnly declared, then turned and left.
Xiao You turned around at the sound, brandishing the screwdriver in her hand: "What are you afraid of? It's not like I'm doing anything 'inappropriate for children.' I'm just replacing a hard drive."
Xu Haibing then realized that the two of them were indeed fiddling with the computer at the desk, and he subconsciously tightened his purse under his arm.
Maria first quietly put on the sunglasses hanging around her neck, then took out the hard drive and asked, "Which one?"
Xiao You looked around the computer desk: "Hey? It was right here, how come it's gone?" He expanded his search area and looked everywhere.
"Give up, stop acting. I knew you were deliberately trying to prevent me from watching," Maria teased.
"How could that be? It was clearly placed here. How could Yu Tou have taken it away? That's impossible. He has no idea what that thing is." Xiao You suddenly turned to Xu Haibing: "By the way, what did you say when you came in? You were just here?"
Xu Haibing made a hasty excuse: "Oh, yes, I was just passing by and wanted to ask for leave for you, but Da Yu said it wasn't necessary."
"Thank you for your trouble. Well then..." Xiao You was about to press further when the phone on the table rang. She answered, "...Oh, Boss Yu... Hmm, I came back as soon as I got your pager... Okay, I'll go back to my night shift and not leave. Hey, don't forget to teach that disobedient and unfilial brat a lesson. Make sure he kowtows to his mother and begs for forgiveness..."
"Wow, this bag feels really nice. Where did you buy it?" While Xiao You was on the phone, Maria quietly approached Xu Haibing and took the bag from his hand when he wasn't looking.
Xu Haibing nervously replied, "I don't know either, it might have been issued by my dad's unit."
"No wonder I don't see this style on the street. I've been wanting to get my dad a new briefcase, but I haven't found the right one..." Maria said, and then unceremoniously pulled open the zipper of the briefcase with a "whoosh".
Xu Haibing knew something was wrong and hurriedly reached out to snatch it.
Maria nimbly turned aside: "Let people see, what's inside that's shameful... Oh, so frugal, not even a pack of cigarettes..." She turned back and disdainfully shoved the bag at him: "Take it, take it, what's so special about it?"
Xu Haibing quickly tucked the bag tightly under his arm, unsure whether to stand or walk.
After hanging up the phone, Xiao You was still thinking, "That's weird, can that hard drive grow legs? If it gets lost, I'm in big trouble..."
Maria exclaimed, "Oh dear, isn't this it? It's not in this drawer anymore!"
Xiao You peeked over and sure enough, there was a hard drive in the bottom drawer of the computer desk. "It's this one, it's this one! I knew it wouldn't have gone anywhere." He quickly took it out for a closer look, breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly put the hard drive back into the computer case and tightened the screws.
Maria glanced meaningfully at Xu Haibing behind her, and seeing his pitiful appearance as he wiped the sweat from his brow, she couldn't help but stick out her tongue and chuckle.
Xiao You installed the hard drive and turned on the computer: "Alright, come and admire—no, come and pay homage to my glorious history at the police academy. There are pictures to prove it."
Maria leaned closer to look at the screen: "Aha! So that bean sprout standing on the far end is you?! Looks like it's not just girls who change a lot as they grow up!"
Xiao You proudly proclaimed, "During my three years at police academy, I grew ten centimeters taller and gained twenty kilograms, successfully completing the historic leap from a little boy to a grown man!"
Maria affectionately tapped his forehead: "You idiot! What do you know? Haven't you heard the old saying that a man who isn't married is still a child!"
...
Xu Haibing stood behind them, watching their backs pressed together, swallowing hard. His elbow, which was clutching his bag, loosened its grip slightly before tightening it again. Suddenly, he gasped in surprise! He hurriedly retreated from the room, opening his bag—
I looked down: It was empty!
Clapping his hands: It's deflated!
Without a second thought, and without even saying goodbye to the two people inside, he grabbed his bag and hurried out of the police station. He didn't even bother to turn around and look at the loud creaking sound behind him as he reached the door.
Da Yu leaned out of a police car that had just come to a stop, his thick, brush-like eyebrows furrowing as he watched Xu Haibing's flustered back...
