“Mom, it’s useless to talk about that now,” Shen Mingxi reminded his mother hurriedly .
“As your senior, I wanted to say it’s not easy to find your destined other-half . I wonder if you two can…”
Before Mrs . Shen could finish, Wei Ying said, “Um… Auntie, I just remembered that I have an appointment with someone for morning tea . I’ll come back and see Mingxi again . Please take good care of him . ”
“Um . Okay . ” Mrs . Shen looked dazed as she watched Wei Ying leave in haste .
With Wei Ying gone, she turned the conversation to her son .
“Mingxi, you and Ying…”
“Mom, I’m sleepy . I must sleep now . ”
Shen Mingxi lied back and covered his face with the sheet .
“Well… This boy is indeed…”
– At the gate of the city police department –
Gao Ran had just returned from patrol with his team in police cars .
He liked working as a policeman as it gave him a sense of purpose . Even though he was the chief of the city police department, he still went on patrol with his team occasionally .
His mission was to keep the residents of C City safe…
The moment his car stopped at the gate, a large group of people swarmed up and surrounded Gao Ran .
“Hi, Chief Gao! It’s said there’s something behind the death of the suspect, Shen Jiani . Is it true?”
“Chief Gao, according to the daughter of the dead woman, the suspect was murdered instead of dying in an ordinary car crash; and the city police department in your charge has covered it up and kept the corpse from her daughter due to your special relationship with the murderer . Is it true?”
Gao Ran’s face darkened…
“Chief Gao, some people on the internet forums pointed out that the mastermind of the murder is Mr . Qin . As a close friend of Mr . Qin, were you involved in it as well?”
“Chief Gao, what do you think of Huo Yanyan’s lawsuit against the city police department on behalf of her mother?”
“Your father was a police officer and he had always valued justice . Do you hold the same belief as he did?”
Gao Ran was tired from the patrol and was about to go home after taking a shower and changing into clean clothes .
He was caught off guard by the confusing questions from the reporters…
“Wait! What are you doing here? I don’t understand what your purpose is . ” Gao Ran felt a headache coming .
“Chief Gao, since you insist on playing dumb, I’ll speak for you, okay?”
A woman walked out from the rear of the crowd . She was Huo Yanyan .
Wearing a red long dress and heavy make-up, she looked very seductive .
She walked to stand before Gao Ran and said with a smile, “Here is the thing . Due to the kidnapping, Qin Chu hated my Mom and was worried that the court would go easy on her . After all, my mom was just an accessory in the crime and had been used by the principal culprit . Now that the principal culprit is dead, the powerful and wealthy President Qin hired some people to kill my mom and disguised it as a car crash . The police department grabbed my mom’s body without my permission and did the forensics; they kept the body in the police department and didn’t let me see it . All these things made me suspect there was some secret deal between Chief Gao and Qin Chu . They must be responsible for my mom’s death . As an ordinary resident, I have nowhere to turn for help and had to ask the media to expose them . People will see what kind of public servants that we taxpayers are paying for . These public servants do nothing for the people but collude with wealthy entrepreneurs . Chief Gao, after you did such a big favor for Qin Chu, he’ll at least give you a Ferrari, right?”
Hearing her words, Gao Ran became livid with fury…
