Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 468 Internet Celebrity or Gold Digger (Part 2)

Shelly is from Bei Province and attended university in the provincial capital of Donghai Province. Her family was of modest means, only able to afford her university education; any further development would have to be her own responsibility. However, given the mediocre university and her own knowledge that she wasn't academically inclined, she started working part-time early on, and over the years has achieved considerable success in her local circle.

While her classmates were struggling to make ends meet with only two or three thousand yuan a month for internships upon graduation, she had already saved 400,000 yuan in her bank account. 400,000 yuan isn't a lot, but it's enough for her to study abroad or complete her postgraduate studies, just as she had set for herself when she decided to take a part-time job.

Her experience making quick money in the entertainment industry made her abandon her initial ideals. After graduating, she discovered the new world of live streaming and devoted herself entirely to it. She would either deposit her earnings in the bank to earn interest or undergo cosmetic surgery to improve herself, then continue to raise prices and make money. Now, she has several million yuan saved in her bank account and has even bought a house in her hometown.

But for some reason, I always feel a sense of emptiness inside.

After saying that, Shelly drank another full glass by herself.

“You don’t look like someone who’s empty inside.” Chen Shu pointed to the phone lying face down on the table, connected to a selfie stick. The meaning was clear: Shelly had looked quite dashing during her live stream earlier.

Chen Shu had caught quite a few young ladies, but this was the first time he had ever seen one so genuinely expressive. Following the tactical principle of knowing oneself and one's enemy, he poured her another drink, his mind filled with gossip, wanting to know the true nature of these young ladies, or rather, their hidden side.

Shelly rolled her eyes.

Chen Shu asked curiously, "Logically speaking, you should know we are police officers, so why are you bringing up your past with me?"

Shelly pouted and deliberately asked, "What happened in the past?"

They were all pretending to be ignorant when they knew the truth, and Chen Shu bluntly said, "The periphery."

Prostitution is a violation of public security administration, not a crime. Therefore, it is not subject to the statute of limitations, but rather the time limit stipulated in the Public Security Administration Punishment Law, which is six months.

Chen Shu didn't think the young girl in front of him understood these legal details, and that ordinary professionals wouldn't talk about these things on the first meeting, especially since the person sitting opposite her was a policeman.

"Heh, you're just a scapegoat for the regulars. What, you actually think you're a cop? I'm not afraid of you. Hey, speaking of which, I've seen quite a few of you snipers."

Shelly's peach blossom eyes curved into crescent moons as she waved her little hand and spoke drunkenly, completely treating Chen Shu as one of her own, or rather, a guest, or a fan.

Judging from the situation, he definitely drank too much.

Chen Shu took a glass of wine from Shelly and said calmly, "Everyone has their own way of living, but first and foremost, don't demean yourself, and secondly, respect others. Auxiliary police officers are also police officers, and they are also making their own contributions to society. You are now doing live streaming, which I think is fine. It's a service industry, so there's no need to elevate yourself by belittling others. Well, just do your best."

Shelly, her face flushed and swaying precariously, remained silent for a moment, realizing that her earlier outburst hadn't angered the policeman in front of her. Her demeanor returned to calm, devoid of her previous deliberate bravado and the affected mannerisms she displayed during the live broadcast.

She lowered her head and explained, "Brother Shu, I'm not an escort. They don't pick and choose their clients. They don't even know what the client looks like before they meet them. They just parachute in, come into the room, start working, and leave as soon as they're done."

"Well, I'm an emotional support provider, specializing in providing emotional value to clients. You might not understand what I mean, so to put it simply, I...I...well, I'm a gold digger! Forget it, someone like you wouldn't even see a gold digger."

As she spoke, she reached out and pressed on the wine glass that Chen Shu had gathered, pulling it but it didn't budge.

Chen Shu looked down at the girl in front of him, who was clearly only a little over twenty years old. He was somewhat impressed by her precociousness and the two faces that had changed abruptly due to life's experiences.

He reached out and slapped Shelly's small hand away from his wine glass, and said slowly, "You should show yourself as you are. There's no need to compromise yourself to please others."

Shelly felt all her strength drain away, and she slumped down, resting her chin on the table. Looking at the wine glass on the other side, she murmured, "Then there's no food, no friends."

Chen Shu picked up his wine glass, took a small sip, squinted at the bustling, laughing and dancing crowd not far away, and continued talking about himself: "After doing this, I thought that I would have far fewer opportunities, that my colleagues would laugh at my naivety, and that my boss would ignore my lack of pragmatism."

"That's for sure, that's reality."

Chen Shu paused, glanced at the girl who was playing with her fingertips on the table, and said resolutely, "Therefore, ever since I put on this police uniform, I've been determined to burn my bridges and live my life as a true person, with a clear conscience. I'll accept any consequences for it!"

Shelly raised his head and looked at the policeman in front of him, who was probably only a few years older than him.

Although I still felt a little disgusted, I was also slightly moved and envious.

Chen Shu smiled and pushed his wine glass to the edge of the table where Shelly couldn't reach it. Familiar faces flashed through his mind, each one different, yet all smiling at him.

"Unexpectedly, I gained more friends and more opportunities."

"Although I'm just a small-time police officer, I have big dreams and great friends."

Chen Shu stopped, suddenly realizing why he had been talking so much tonight, and unable to figure it out, he blamed it on the Urumqi beer.

It's definitely not because of this young and pretty internet celebrity in front of me.

"I'm not drinking anymore. Where do you live? I'll take you home."

So silly.

So gentle.

It gives you a great sense of security.

Other men would do anything to get her drunk, the more drunk the better. Shelly suddenly felt a strange sense of emotion, remembering when she was trapped and helpless by Shao Min, this man had really rushed in all by himself.

Shelly was already feeling a bit dizzy from drinking, and she decided to give this auxiliary police officer, whom she had always disliked, a chance.

I'd say it was a perfect trip.

At work, you're always trying to please the top two supporters and a bunch of fans. You should also relax and unwind in your free time.

Besides, this guy is quite handsome, and he looks pretty sturdy.

Perhaps she's the one who profited.
"I'm staying at the XX Hotel."

After saying that, Shelly closed her eyes, leaned against the table, and pretended to be asleep. Her long eyelashes trembled, which was quite alluring.

As a result, I actually fell asleep after completely relaxing.

It was quite a coincidence that Shelly was staying in the same hotel as Chen Shu and the others, not far from the west gate of the ancient city.

When Jiang Hai arrived, he draped the extra black jacket that Chen Shu had brought over on Shelly's shoulders, and with Chen Shu's help, he carried Shelly on his back and walked towards the hotel.

Xinjiang is far from the ocean and located deep inland, resulting in a distinct temperate continental climate with extreme diurnal temperature variations. Temperatures that are only 17 or 18 degrees Celsius in the afternoon can drop to 4 or 5 degrees Celsius by evening.

Halfway there, Jiang Hai jumped up and down, lifting Shelly, who was slowly sliding down, back onto his back.

Without turning his head, he said, "Brother Shu, isn't this woman the one who came from the provincial capital on the same flight as us? How come she's drinking with you guys? And why is Brother Qiang here too? And he's drunk. Doesn't he always brag about how much he can drink?"

Back when Chen Shu was still working at Zhongshan Police Station, he was assigned to the police station of the Liming grid for a period of time. At that time, Yan Chenxi was the grid leader of the Liming grid, so Xiao Qiang, who followed Chen Shu around every day, got to know Jiang Hai, who would come to the grid to see his sister every few days.

Chen Shu was struggling to carry the sturdy Xiao Qiang, so he stopped to catch his breath. He had thought of having Jiang Hai carry Shelly ahead, but he was worried that the two of them might run into bad people or things on the road, so he could only walk and stop.

Half an hour later, they finally dragged the two drunk people into the hotel lobby.

Seeing that Chen Shu was exhausted, Jiang Hai took the initiative to carry Xiao Qiang while Chen Shu went to the front desk to check in, leaving Shelly, who was much lighter than Xiao Qiang, behind.

In order to make it easier to take care of the drunk Xiaoqiang, Chen Shu planned to sleep in the same room as Xiaoqiang, while Jiang Hai would stay in a separate room with a large bed.

Even after Jiang Hai carried Xiao Qiang step by step from the lobby into the elevator, the front desk still couldn't find Shelly's room number. The receptionist apologized slightly, explaining that she had checked all the photos on the ID cards of the hotel guests that night, but couldn't find anyone who resembled Shelly.

This guy probably spends a lot of money on cosmetic procedures!

There was no other way but to have the staff turn on the surveillance equipment, estimate Shelly's check-in time, check the surveillance footage, and then work backwards to figure it out.

After searching for a long time, I finally found it.

Shelly, whose real name is Xia Li, lives in a room directly opposite Lin Da's.

Chen Shuchang breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had finally seen the end. He took a new room key, turned around, and carried the still unconscious Shelly to the room upstairs.

As they opened the door, Shelly, seemingly lost in a dream, started wriggling on Chen Shu's back. Chen Shu, busy reaching into his pocket for his room key, wasn't paying attention, and the two of them fell to the ground.

Fortunately, a thick carpet was laid out, and neither of them was seriously injured.

However, after Chen Shu got up, it became difficult for him to carry Shelly, who was lying on the ground like a rag doll.

Without thinking much, he opened the door, bent down, and gave Shelly a princess carry. But as their heads got closer, Chen Shu immediately noticed that Shelly's breathing was slightly rapid and heavier.

Upon closer inspection, Shelly's long, slightly trembling eyelashes immediately betrayed that she was clearly pretending to be asleep.

She must have woken up when she fell. This little girl, who kept saying she had entered society early and experienced the coldness and warmth of human nature, was actually quite shy. Chen Shu thought to himself, and initially found it somewhat amusing, but then he inadvertently noticed Shelly's high nose, her cherry-red lips with a hint of blood, and her exquisite body pressed against his chest.

Shelly was wearing a dress, and the fall had caused her small shawl, which was just hanging on her shoulders, to slip off halfway, revealing her fair and rounded shoulders.

Chen Shu's mind wandered.

Then he let out a heavy sigh, stepped into the room, threw Shelly onto the big bed, and forgot to take back the black jacket draped over her before running away without looking back.

The door slammed shut with a loud bang.

"That idiot!"

Shelly sat up abruptly, angrily patting the blankets beneath her. Her face was flushed, and after a moment, her eyes welled up with tears.
