Chapter 275 Envy
Someone took a picture of the other side and sent it to the police station's work group.

"Look! This afternoon, Xiaolin said he was going to give the employees some benefits, and this is what he gave them!!!"

The people standing at the door heard their phones ring once. They took them out, looked at them, and laughed. They looked up at the hero who had sent the message.

They all then cooperated by sending messages in the group chat.

"Wow, this New Year's gift is pretty good! Boss Lin is really nice!"

"Oh my god, they even have skincare products! That whole set costs a thousand or two!!!"

"Sigh, why am I not Kobayashi's employee? Being Kobayashi's employee would be so wonderful..."

"Look, the male employees even received keyboards, mice, and headphones! Holy crap, they're from a certain company!!! I really want one!"

"There's even a suitcase. I wonder what's inside it..."

People inside the police station saw the message in the group chat and ran to the door to look across the street to see if it was true.

You won't know until you see it, and seeing it makes me feel terrible.

They also took photos of the other side and sent them to the group chat; some even boldly tagged the bureau chief directly.

The bureau chief, who had just finished a meeting and was about to leave work, saw the messages tagged him on his phone. He glanced at the employee benefits that Xiao Lin had given out, and then silently put his phone away.

Sigh, is it because he doesn't want to give it out? These benefits are distributed uniformly, so he has no say in the matter.

He thought about it and decided to go back to his office and wait until everyone left before leaving get off work, so as not to be dragged into the conversation about this again when they met.

Sigh, it's not easy for him!

The next morning, Lin Xiaoyan and Nanxi set off again to continue their shopping spree.

Listening to the festive songs playing in the mall, I finally felt the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year.

"We've finished shopping, let's go home tomorrow!"

Lin Xiaoyan and Nanxi sat in a restaurant in the mall, eating and chatting.

"Okay, what time are we leaving tomorrow?"

"Five o'clock?"

Lin Xiaoyan glanced at her phone. "Forget it, let's not rush. We won't be home by tomorrow night anyway. Driving is convenient, but it's too far."

"There might be traffic jams. Let's see where we pass by tomorrow night and stay overnight."

"Can"

Lin Xiaoyan took a sip of her drink and continued, "When I get home later, I'll pack my things and send back everything that can be sent back. I don't know how much luggage my brother will take."

Suddenly I feel like I bought a car that's too small, hahaha!

After finishing their meal, Lin Xiaoyan and Nanxi sat here resting and chatting when they suddenly heard a sound coming from behind them.

"You don't know, one of our houses was burgled last night!"

"Oh dear, it's almost Chinese New Year, are thieves really this rampant?"

"Yeah, to encounter something like this during the Lunar New Year, isn't that incredibly unlucky..."

"Then please be careful at home, and make sure to lock the doors and windows."

"The thieves shouldn't come back. The police have gone, so they shouldn't come to our neighborhood again."

"Possibly, but it's better to be cautious."

"Yeah, you should be careful at your house too. Honestly, every year around Chinese New Year, thieves are everywhere. They're so young, why do they have to steal things..."

Listening to the conversation that followed, Lin Xiaoyan remembered what He Qi'an had said about the recent increase in theft cases.

It's always like this during the Lunar New Year; it's as if even thieves need money to celebrate.

"Sister Nan, I need to use the restroom, then let's go back."

"Okay, I'll accompany you."

Lin Xiaoyan quickly refused, "No need, it's just a short distance, I can go by myself."

Lin Xiaoyan walked towards the restroom. After using the toilet, she had just come out when she accidentally bumped into an older woman. "Excuse me," Lin Xiaoyan said instinctively.

"It's alright, I didn't see anyone come out either," the woman said with a smile before going into the restroom.

Lin Xiaoyan recognized the voice as that of the older woman who had complained about her neighborhood being burgled, but...

Seeing what she had just witnessed, she thought the thief was really bold.

Lin Xiaoyan lowered her head and silently washed her hands, listening as the older woman behind her came out.

After she finished washing her hands, she looked up and met the gaze of the older woman.

"Hello, Auntie, I'm so sorry about that."

The older woman saw that Lin Xiaoyan was still there and her eyes showed a hint of wariness. "I already said it's nothing, no need to apologize."

Lin Xiaoyan noticed the wariness in the older woman's eyes. She walked to the hand dryer, dried her hands, and then left.

As I walked towards the restaurant, the older woman returned just then.

The two looked at each other again, and Lin Xiaoyan greeted her with a smile, "What a coincidence, Auntie, you're eating here too."

The older woman nodded. A woman of similar age who was with her looked at Lin Xiaoyan and asked, "You two know each other?"

Lin Xiaoyan quickly waved her hand, "I don't know her. I accidentally bumped into her in the restroom."

Lin Xiaoyan quickly walked to the restaurant counter, ordered drinks for the two aunties, paid the bill, and brought the drinks over.

Seeing Lin Xiaoyan's actions, Nancy's eyes flickered slightly as she looked at the two people, keeping a close eye on Lin Xiaoyan's safety.

"I'm sorry, Auntie, I didn't know what you like to drink. This is on me."

The two older women smiled sheepishly when they saw how polite Lin Xiaoyan was.

"Look at you, child, why are you being so polite? It was just an accidental bump, I wasn't hurt."

Lin Xiaoyan smiled at the two of them, "I feel bad about it."

"Wow, there are so few honest young women like you these days. Where do you work, miss?"

Lin Xiaoyan: "I work at the police station, and I happen to be on vacation today."

By the way, I heard my aunt say during dinner that a thief broke into your neighborhood last night. I wonder which part it was?

My boyfriend went out to work last night, I don't know if it's in your neighborhood...

Upon hearing that the young girl was actually a police officer, the two middle-aged women's expressions brightened even more.

"Oh dear, we're from Sheng'an Residential Area on Xinan Road. I was asleep last night and only saw the message in the community group chat this morning..."

Lin Xiaoyan: "Oh, so this is Nanhe District. We've received quite a few police reports there recently. Auntie, you must make sure to close the doors and windows and be vigilant."

Lin Xiaoyan looked at Nanxi, who immediately understood, stood up and walked over.

"Xiao Yan, it's almost time, let's go."

Seeing Nancy's imposing presence, the two middle-aged women became even more convinced that Lin Xiaoyan was a police officer.

Lin Xiaoyan smiled and said goodbye to the two middle-aged women, then quickly left the mall with Nanxi.

Nancy looked at Lin Xiaoyan: "That old lady from just now?"

"Yes, the thief is going to her house tonight."

Once the two were in the car, Lin Xiaoyan immediately called He Qi'an to tell her about it.

……

After saying goodbye to her friends, Li Qin went home alone.

The first thing I did when I got back to my neighborhood was to ask the people there about what happened last night.

"Was the thief from last night caught?"

As soon as Li Qin reached the bottom of her apartment building, she saw her neighbor coming down to throw out the trash, and she quickly stopped him and asked him what was wrong.
