Major Crimes Unit Starts with Police Academy Students

“Then we can send other policewomen. Wang Shouyi and his colleagues just talk a good game, but they don’t keep their word when it really matters.”

Xia Jie felt somewhat helpless and could only say,

"Mom, I told you, I don't want anyone to give me special treatment."

You haven't been working all these years, but the bureau has continued to pay your salary; that's already more than enough of a consideration for us.

Besides, many police officers sacrifice their lives every year in our country; my dad wasn't the only one.

Almost ten years have passed; we can't keep letting them take care of us like this forever.

Xia's mother understood in her heart, but she still couldn't get over this knot in her heart, and sighed.

"Like I said, people leave and things get cold. If your dad hadn't rushed to save Xiao Song back then, would he still be alive today? Would he still be in the position of deputy director of the municipal bureau?"

And Wang Shouyi, Cheng Hao, Gao Chao, and all those policemen from Jiulihe—which of them didn't receive help from your father back then? So it's only right that they take care of us.”

After hearing this, Xia Jie felt utterly exhausted, both physically and mentally. No matter how she explained, she still couldn't convince her mother.

So she had no choice but to give up and change the subject.

"Mom, can we not talk about this? I've been exhausted all day. Can you have a meal with me?"

"Let me help you up. I bought a lot of your favorite seafood; you probably didn't eat dinner tonight."

After saying that, she put her arm around Xia's mother and headed towards the living room.

At this moment, Xia's mother continued to nag in Xia Jie's ear.

"When your dad was alive, he doted on both of us. Now we're all alone and people are gossiping about us."

Xia Jie sighed and rubbed her forehead, continuing to offer words of advice.

"653 Mom, really no one is gossiping. The director, Director Cheng, and everyone else have been very kind to me."

"It's not that I want special treatment; there's no need for a police officer to be so delicate."

Xia Jie sat down at the table and opened each takeout box one by one. Xia's mother then noticed the takeout boxes on the table.

She feigned surprise and said,

"Wow, you bought so much? Did you get paid? You even have Aulong!"

When Xia Jie heard her mother's question, she suddenly didn't know what to say and quickly tried to think of a way to explain to her mother.

She said, feigning composure.

"No, it's just that I haven't treated you to a proper meal in a long time, and I wanted to celebrate my return to work."

Xia Jie was giving a rambling explanation; she didn't even know what she was saying.

Xia's mother gave Xia Jie a meaningful look, but Xia Jie avoided her gaze, not daring to meet her mother's eyes.

However, Xia's mother was worried about Xia Jie and didn't eat dinner, waiting for Xia Jie to come back.

Seeing that Xia Jie was whole and intact, she couldn't resist the increased appetite for the seafood in front of her and started eating.

Chapter 275 Same World, Different Mothers

Just then, Xia's mother remembered the handsome young man who had brought Xia Jie back earlier.

She asked, seemingly casually,

"Xiaojie, you're carrying so many takeout boxes, how did you get back? Did a colleague stop by on their way?"

Upon hearing her mother's words, Xia Jie visibly paused in her actions, then feigned composure and said,

"No, I took a taxi back. None of my colleagues at the institute go the same way as me."

Upon hearing Xia Jie's vehement denial, Xia's mother immediately sensed that something was amiss.

After all, she had been a young girl once herself, so she understood all too well how things worked.

To change the subject, Xia Jie noticed her mother enjoying her seafood and then said...

"Mom, didn't you say you had no appetite? Why are you eating so heartily?"

Xia's mother immediately put on a stern face and said,

"What? You're not letting your mom eat? I've been worried about you all this time at home,"

Xia Jie immediately said ingratiatingly,

"Of course not, Mom, you're the best to me. I bought all this seafood for you, how could I not let you eat it?"

Xia's mother glared at Xia Jie and said,

"That's more like it,"

Xia Jie breathed a sigh of relief when she realized she had successfully changed the subject.

As the two were eating, Xia Jie placed an abalone on her mother's plate, hesitated for a moment, and then said,

"As you know, the work at the police station is quite busy, and it's far from home, so the staff quarters are quite limited."

I was thinking, is it okay if I rent a place near the police station? I'll stay there when I'm working, and go back there when I'm off work..."

Before she could finish speaking, Xia's mother assumed that she was going to move out with her boyfriend, which was unacceptable.

She thought to herself that young people are prone to impulsiveness when they're together, and if they do something wrong, they'll regret it for the rest of their lives.

In addition, she was also a little reluctant to part with her daughter; after her daughter left, she would be left alone at home.

So she put down her chopsticks and gradually began to shed tears.

Xia Jie was so startled that she quickly stopped and then said,

"Mom, what's wrong? Please don't do this. I won't rent it anymore, okay?"

Xia's mother sighed.

"No, I just feel that your dad left too early. He just left us, mother and son, and never looked back. If he were still here, where would you have gone?"

Xia Jie felt very sad when she heard her mother say that.

"Mom, Dad's gone, but you still have me. Haven't we gotten through all these years?"

Xia's mother then said,

"But the further you go, the further away you'll drift from your mother. You've only been working for two days, and you already want to abandon your mother?"

"Jiulihe isn't close. If it doesn't work out, I'll call the bureau and have them arrange for you to come work near our home, so you can start work right outside your door."

Xia Jie immediately became anxious and quickly said,

"Mom, please, please don't hit me, okay? I won't rent a place anymore, I'll just run back and forth."

Xia's mother looked at her with a wronged expression and said,

"Okay, actually Mom was thinking of you."

Xia Jie looked helpless, suddenly losing her appetite as she looked at the food on the table.

Meanwhile, Li Dawei, looking exhausted, opened his front door.

As soon as he entered the door, before he could even react, his mother gave him a big hug.

Looking at Li Dawei in his police uniform, Li's mother said with a face full of relief.

"My son looks so handsome in his police uniform,"

Li Dawei solemnly saluted his mother.

"Trainee Police Officer Li Dawei reporting for duty,"

When Li's mother saw that her son had successfully become a policeman, she couldn't stop smiling and quickly said...

"Alright, come and eat. You've been working non-stop on your first day of work, my darling, you've worked so hard."

Li Dawei was starving, and seeing the table full of delicious food, he couldn't resist the urge to eat.

He simply washed his hands, then sat down at the dining table and happily ate the delicious food laid out before him.

As Li's mother ate, she watched her son, her eyes filled with uncontrollable joy.

Li Dawei looked up at his mother and noticed she was staring at him intently. He then let out a burp.

"Uh, okay, Mom, if you keep looking at me like that, I'll be too embarrassed to eat,"

Li's mother rolled her eyes at him and couldn't help but say...

"You're embarrassed? I've never seen you embarrassed when you got a zero on a test,"

Hearing his mother expose his past without hesitation, Li Dawei was genuinely embarrassed.

"Isn't that something I learned from you? The top female contractor, the female tyrant of civil engineering, so magnanimous!"

When Li's mother heard her son teasing her, she patted him lightly and then said,

"Stop joking around, you look hungry. What's wrong? The food at the police station canteen isn't good?"

Li Dawei shook his head and said,

"No, it's just that once a mission starts, there's no set timeframe, and time is a bit tight."

It's lunchtime, we can't just tell them to wait a bit and let us eat first, can we?

Li's mother lovingly served food to Li Dawei, and proactively said (Wang Li Zhao),
