Chapter 1174 - I Don’t Want to Interrupt You and Professor Jiang (1/2)

How do you know we haven’t found the murder weapon?” Nian Xi felt a little annoyed. “Did you ask around about it? It’s our case, isn’t it? We’re not even on the same team.”

“I care about you,” said Feng Ji Chuan, with a complicated tone of speaking. “The victim is a Ph.D. student, a talented student from the department of physics. Only the smart ones are allowed in the lab. I think you should be more cautious about the case.”

“Thank you for your advice. I will.” Nian Xi dropped her chopsticks, stood up and left.

Cheng Jing hurriedly caught up with her and said, “He was just saying. Why are you so angry?”

Nian Xi responded with, “I’m not angry. I’m annoyed. I work on the case day and night. I spent so much time watching the surveillance videos that my eyeb.a.l.l.s are sore. Yet he lectured me like that, and he questioned my judgment. Does he really think he’s the best at our station? Does he know about the case? Did he ever take part in our work?”

“I think you’re in a wrong mindset.”

Cheng Jing raised her brows and said honestly, “Captain has said the same to you, and you accept it humbly. How come you felt so uncomfortable hearing those words from Feng Ji Chuan? Nian Xi, to be honest, even though you guys broke up peacefully a long time ago, I still feel that you’ve been extra unfriendly to him. You two are colleagues. If his team and ours ever need to work together, your att.i.tude is going to make things troublesome.

Nian Xi was stunned.

She realized Cheng Jing was right.

“Maybe… You’re not over him yet. Is that right?” Cheng Jing asked, “You still care about him and what he said because you can’t get over him.”

Nian Xi gave a start, said, “That’s… that’s nonsense… Maybe I’m just feeling a little uncomfortable. I’ve been a policewoman for years, but I feel that I’m worse than him on everything. Behind my back, some always say that I’m so picky that I even gave up on someone as outstanding as him. They say that I set my sights too high and that I’m hard to get along with, or something like that. I just want to prove that I am outstanding too.”

“You’re right.”
