Chapter 1234 - Xi, Do You Miss Me? (2/2)

She had no regrets though. She couldn’t stay single forever.

…

In the morning, not long after she woke up, she received another message from Jiang Yuning.

‘Have you had breakfast yet? I’ll bring you some.’

Nian Xi told him not to do that. It wasn’t necessary for him, an injured person, to deliver breakfast to her.

After she arrived at the police station, Duan Yang’s parents came over to thank her and Fang Qi.

“Officer Nian, Officer Fang, the real murderer who took our son’s life might have gotten away if it wasn’t for you two. Thank you, thank you so much. We don’t have much to give, so this is only a small gift from us.”

“Mr. and Mrs. Duan, please.” Nian Xi hurriedly offered them seats. The gray-haired couple made her sigh. “We did what we should have done. We cannot accept your gift. If we did, we’d be failing our job. You two should head home.”

“We’ve lost our only son. What’s the point of our life now?”

Mr. and Mrs. Duan spent quite a while expressing their grat.i.tude toward Nian Xi and her colleagues, then left in sadness.

Looking at them leave, Nian Xi felt a little sad too. “Why are there bad people in this world? I used to feel that being a police officer was exhausting and dangerous, but now, I seem to have found the meaning of it. Investigating, finding evidence. It doesn’t matter what you do. Every step is critical for solving a case.”

Captain Chen patted her on the shoulder and said, “It’s good that you are thinking this way. You and Fang Qi worked well together this time. As this is your first case. I can say that you solved it rather speedily. You exerted yourself with no rest. Come to my office later for your new case.”

“We have a new case?” Nian Xi curved her lips downward. There was a new case, meaning that something bad had happened.

“I too hope the world can be peaceful without any harm done.” Captain Chen sighed.

…

At 4:00 p.m., when Nian Xi and Fang Qi were discussing the new case, Uncle Han surprisingly showed up.
