320 Reunion 15 (2/2)
Before they even sat down upon reaching the office, Pan Zhenghui hurriedly entered.
”Goodness gracious, you're finally back. You were away for so long, yet you didn't even tell me. How willful of you.”
”Oh, I've been spending all my time staying in the hospital. I didn't mean to be gone without a word. Chief, I have something to discuss with you,” said An Xiaoning, pointing at her belly.
”What is it?”
”I'm going overseas tomorrow to nurse my pregnancy. So, I won't be able to work on cases until I deliver. But, I've been holding up everyone's time while I was away for so long. Thus, I'm willing to solve cases by communicating with them and giving them instructions via online communication tools. How does that sound?”
”Sounds good. Xiaoning, it's tough on you to still be concerned about solving cases when you're already pregnant. I agree to your suggestion.”
”Also, if you guys see me on the streets or anywhere else, don't initiate a conversation with me unless I greet you or talk to you first,” An Xiaoning instructed.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
”Why?” asked a puzzled Pan Zhenghui.
”Um… here's the thing. I heard that there's a woman who has an uncanny resemblance to me. So, I just don't want you to get the wrong person.”
”Alright. Xiaoning, I always get in an exceptionally good mood whenever I see you. You're a special one,” Pan Zhenghui said smilingly.
”I'm not special or extraordinary. Heaven is just being nice to me and blessing me with a good life,” An Xiaoning mocked herself.
”It's good that you're living well. We all heard about the mishap you met with. Because there were no news of you at all for a long while, we all thought you… but it's all good now.”
An Xiaoning let out a wry smile, keeping her sorrow to herself.
”By the way, since you said you'd like to handle some cases, why don't you take over a case from the Serious Crimes Investigation Unit about a missing person? After some investigation, we found that the missing victim used to work at your clothing store. Is that true?”
”Used to? Is it Xu Jingwen?” An Xiaoning asked.
”Yes, her. We've gotten some clues, but we've yet to find any substantial evidence to prove it. So, we're handing the case over to you guys now,” said Pan Zhenghui.
”Alright.”
”I'll inform the Serious Crimes Investigation Unit to bring the files over. Before I forget, you guys are missing a member since Zu Dong has gone undercover in the drug ring. Do you need me to transfer another officer here from the Serious Crimes Investigation Unit?”
”It's alright, just transfer another armed police officer. When Zu Dong comes back, I'll let him join me again.”
”Alright,” Pan Zhenghui agreed smilingly before exiting.
”Team Leader…” Ma Jianguo brushed his hand across his glossy hair and said, ”While you were away, we've been suffering a lot of scolding every day. Please don't go missing without notice again. You're our superior, and we'll be left on our own when you're gone. Chief won't allow us to remain here to crack cases either. He'll just send us to the Serious Crimes Investigation Unit.”
”Yeah. We all missed you. Thanks to you, we got to enjoy a long break while you were away. But because of that, the Serious Crimes Investigation Unit have been becoming more and more disgruntled,” Gong Le said, chuckling.
”No matter when or where you are, you'll only get to have a say if you're truly capable and worth something. We get to enjoy such privileges because we're efficient at cracking cases. So, from now onwards, I'll be giving you guys instructions online. It's going to be hard on you guys. You have to work well and cooperate with the new armed policeman when the Chief transfers him here.”
”Got it.”
