Taking a deep breath, Shi Huaiya forced herself to suppress her inner anxiety, raised her hand and placed it on the hand that Chen Xiu handed to her, then stood up.
Alarms rang outside the house, and several police cars stopped in front of the Hui Cui Building. The Guards finally arrived at the scene.
Xingxiong jumped out of the car with a triangular shield and strode into the house while shouting orders.
"Groups one and two, follow me! Groups three and four are outside..."
Before he finished shouting the command, Xingxiong paused.
There was no sign of the bandits in the messy Huicui Building. Several wounded soldiers were lying in the corner, screaming and crying, and bags of jewelry were scattered on the ground.
What was even more unexpected was that she actually saw Shi Huaiya here!
Why did this young lady come here? It seems that she was involved in this robbery.
Fortunately, she looked just a little frightened and not injured, otherwise she would have had a headache.
If the Shi Huaiya family were to cause trouble, the top brass of the Royal Guard would inevitably put heavy pressure on those below them.
Raising his hand to signal his men to look after the other wounded, Xingxiong quickly walked towards Shi Huaiya.
"Ms. Shi Huaiya, are you okay? And, this is..."
Chen Xiu was not surprised that Xingxiong did not recognize him.
After all, the two had only met briefly once, and he was wearing a mask at the time.
"Hello, Officer. My name is Chen Xiu. I am currently employed by Miss Shi to provide her with some guiding services."
"Hello, Mr. Chen. I'm Xingxiong, an inspector from the Imperial Guard." Xingxiong showed his ID and asked in a businesslike manner, "Could you please tell me what just happened?"
"Of course." Chen Xiu nodded in response, but then said, "However, I suggest you ask Miss Shi first. After all, she was the first person to rush over and try to stop the criminals after the incident happened."
Xingxiong was stunned and turned his head to look at the listless Shi Huaiya. It turns out that you have nothing to do here!
Although Shi Huaiya was devastated, he still had no problem cooperating and replying.
When Xingxiong heard that Shi Huaiya faced two robbers alone and actually successfully defeated one of them, he couldn't help but look at her with admiration, but still severely criticized her behavior.
"Ms. Shi Huaiya, if you encounter something like this in the future, please call the police immediately and don't rush in... Catching criminals is the duty of our Guards!"
Shi Huaiya opened his mouth, but in the end no words of rebuttal came out.
If Chen Xiu had not arrived in time to save him, he probably wouldn't even be qualified to stand here and listen to Xingxiong's criticism.
After leaving Huicui Building, Chen Xiu accompanied the depressed and lost Shi Huaiya on a slow walk on the street, looking at the night scene with flashing neon lights.
The silent silence lasted for a long time, and finally Chen Xiu was the first to break the silence.
"Miss Shi, it's getting late."
"I'll call a taxi for you, and you can go home and have a good sleep..."
As soon as Chen Xiu raised his hand, he felt someone pulling his clothes. He lowered his head and met Shi Huaiya's eyes.
The little tiger gently pinched the corner of his clothes, his upturned face full of confusion and vulnerability.
"Chen Xiu, can you please accompany me? I, I can give you money!"
Chapter 41: Night Talk with Shi Huaiya (Please Read More)
Chen Xiu's ears trembled slightly and he was stunned.
Although I expected Shi Huaiya to suffer a certain blow, I didn't expect that her self-confidence would be shattered so directly.
But if you think about it carefully, the little tiger experienced several ups and downs in just one day, and finally faced the threat of death, which was a wake-up call from reality.
Now, she not only feels confused and helpless about her ideals, but is also at the critical point of collapse and giving up.
If someone pushes her from behind at this time, tell her that she really does not have the corresponding talents and is not suitable to be a police officer.
The remaining strength and persistence in Shi Huaiya's heart will be completely shattered. Even if the broken ideal can be pieced together again in the future, it will be full of cracks and fragile, making it difficult to persist.
If she went home now, her father would definitely be the one pushing her.
Shi Huaiya instinctively felt the crisis and was very reluctant to go home, but she didn't know what to do next.
If I go to find Lin Yuxia, she will most likely advise me to give up like my father did.
For a moment, she even felt isolated by Longmen.
So, Shi Huaiya grabbed the person next to her who had saved her life not long ago. She believed that the other person was definitely able to help her, but she didn't know how to ask...
The lost little kitten couldn't find his home, so he could only take out his pockets full of money and try to find a warm harbor to support himself to keep going.
"No, there's no need for money."
Hearing Chen Xiu's refusal, Shi Huaiya suddenly became anxious.
Huwei was stretched straight like a stick, his hands tightly grasping Chen Xiu's clothes, his body clinging to him shamelessly, as if he was afraid that Chen Xiu would run away, and there was a hint of crying in his anxious tone.
"How about 10,000 an hour? How about 20,000? Or, you name a number!"
To make a proud young lady of a wealthy family become so humble, it seems that she has been pushed to the limit.
"Although I like money and need it, there are some things I can't earn." Chen Xiu took Shi Huaiya's hand and comforted her softly: "Miss Shi, it seems that what happened just now has had a great impact on you. Where do you want to go? I can accompany you."
Compared with some short-term benefits, long-term benefits are more important, not to mention that favors are much more valuable than money.
Looking at Chen Xiu's gentle and calm eyes, Shi Huaiya gradually calmed down and loosened her clenched fingers.
After thinking for a moment, Shi Huaiya lowered her eyes and whispered, "I don't know where to go..."
"In that case, how about I take you for a spin around the streets?"
"Alright, here are the car keys."
Shi Huaiya agreed without thinking. She didn't want to use her brain at all.
The bright red sports car moved smoothly through the endless stream of traffic, turning the streets aimlessly and at will.
Although Chen Xiu did not have Longmen's driver's license, he had made a special observation when he saw Texas driving a truck last time. Terra's car drove no differently than the cars in his previous life.
In comparison, Terra's car seems to be even more environmentally friendly than a gasoline car.
Because nowadays, it is not the Originium internal combustion engine that powers vehicles, but the Originium electric motor.
Sitting on the soft leather seat, Chen Xiu held the steering wheel with one hand and the gear lever with the other, and couldn't help but sigh that this was his first time driving a luxury sports car.
The traffic in Longmen is quite congested and it is impossible to speed up.
Shi Huaiya leaned against the car door, supporting her face with her hands, staring blankly at the lights of thousands of homes passing by her.
The tiger's tail draped between the seats twisted and turned, and the tip of the tail occasionally curled up slightly unconsciously.
Seeing that her emotions were almost stable, Chen Xiu began his own talk therapy.
"Ms. Shi, why do you want to come here to arrest a wanted criminal?"
The film girl trembled slightly and looked back.
"I don't think you're just looking for excitement, like those rich kids who want to become bounty hunters after watching a few Blue Kawu movies. You really want to do something..."
"Because I want to join the Guard Bureau and become a Longmen police officer!"
Shi Huaiya almost shouted as she vented the accumulated pressure and depression in her heart and revealed all the ins and outs. Although Chen Xiu had known the hidden story for a long time, he still listened seriously.
"Isn't it ridiculous? Instead of being a good young lady, she actually wants to be a police officer!!"
"My family doesn't understand me! My friends don't support me! Even I feel like I'm screwing around!"
"What's wrong with wanting to be a police officer? Why can't I be a police officer? Just because I'm the eldest daughter of the Shi Huaiya family? So I can't be a police officer!?"
The film girl was breathing heavily and looked very crazy.
She usually pays great attention to maintaining her image and threw all those red tape behind her.
But if you look closely, you will find that the little tiger's rosy nails are still clasped in his hands, and his eyes are frequently glancing at Chen Xiu.
She was nervous, worried about Chen Xiu's opinion on the matter, and couldn't wait to seek some recognition.
"There's no distinction between high and low professions, just different divisions of labor," Chen Xiu replied slowly. "Of course, some people might disagree, but I believe a person's chosen profession isn't limited by their status, but by their ability to do it well... Miss Shi, it's perfectly fine for you to become a police officer."
The tip of the tail suddenly raised higher and higher, and Shi Huaiya felt that he had finally found a supporter.
"You, you're not saying this just to deal with me, are you? I really can..."
"Of course!" Chen Xiu affirmed firmly, "With Miss Shi's abilities, she's more than qualified to be a grassroots police officer. In the future, she can definitely become a senior superintendent, or even the director of the Imperial Guard Bureau!"
"Ah?" Shi Huaiya's eyes widened, and she pointed at herself in disbelief. "Me? Senior Superintendent? Director of the Imperial Guard? Is this really possible? Chen Xiu, you're not just talking nonsense to cheer me up! To make me happy!"
"Ms. Shi, don't underestimate yourself." Chen Xiu stopped the car in front of Longmen City Hospital. "You've simply fallen into a misconception. Police work isn't just about catching wanted criminals, and the cases we solve aren't just about violent crimes like murder and robbery."
Shi Huaiya clenched his fists unconsciously. Something in his heart was about to burst out, but he hesitated.
"I heard that the Shi Huaiya family are all business elites. I wonder how good you are, Miss Shi?"
"Well, I don't really like doing these things, but I've learned everything I need to know from watching and hearing them."
"So, Miss Shi, how good are your auditing skills? Have you found any unusual accounts or unreasonable payments?"
Shi Huaiya held her head high, and immediately regained her confidence after talking about her professional field: "My favorite thing to do is check the accounts!"
"That's no problem." Chen Xiu nodded and said, "Since you want to achieve results that are no less than Officer Chen's, then I happen to know a good case!"
Shi Huaiya couldn't wait to ask, "What case is it?"
"Should it be considered a credit trap? Or perhaps, internet fraud? This case is incredibly complicated."
After getting out of the car, Chen Xiu walked around to the other side and opened the door for Miss Shi Huaiya.
"Anyway, let's go check on the victims first."
Chapter 42 Chen Xiu: Call me Senior! (Please read)
The hospital lobby was deserted at night.
In stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of the day, the tranquility is reassuring.
The nurse at the reception desk seemed to be on duty, but her eyes never left the terminal playing movies at the counter.
Longmen First Hospital, Inpatient Department.
Snow Pheasant was half lying on the hospital bed by the window, looking at the thick and dark night outside.
Several days have passed since the rescue, but Snow Pheasant still feels a sense of unreality and is even occasionally awakened by nightmares.
The same goes for the other girls who shared the room, especially those who had lost their families.
Xuezhi still remembers that when Officer Chen came to visit them for the first time, an Elafia girl held Officer Chen's hand tightly and begged him to help find her parents.
Officer Chen patted her on the back and agreed.
But in fact, everyone knows that it is difficult to find people who have been sold abroad.
Officer Chen naturally did his best. Pan Hu, who was also sent to the hospital for treatment, was taken directly back to the Guard Bureau for interrogation after he woke up.
This guy insisted that the human trafficking was his own private act and had nothing to do with Zhongyitang.
The next day, Zhongyitang took the initiative to hand over a group of people, all of whom were Pan Hu's low-level brothers in the gang. On the surface, it was to clean up the house, but everyone knew that it was actually an emergency separation.
As for where the previous people were sold to, Pan Hu said he knew nothing.
Chen Huijie was so angry that she grabbed the guy's collar in the interrogation room and wanted to beat him up, but Xingxiong stopped her in time and gestured to turn off the camera outside.
Then, Pan Hu went to the hospital again because he fell in the interrogation room.
Officer Chen also came along, but this time he did not enter the ward. He simply asked the police officer on duty outside about the situation.
Snow Pheasant was even somewhat relieved that her grandmother, who had depended on her for everything, had passed away a few years ago and turned into a shining star in the sky, always protecting and accompanying her.
Now, the only thing Xuezhi wants to do is to be discharged from the hospital as soon as possible and work to earn money.
My previous savings have been frozen and taken away by the bank. If I want to study abroad in Colombia, I have to start saving money again!
Also, although Officer Chen said that he didn't have to pay any fees during his hospitalization, Xuezhi still felt a little uneasy and wanted to get rid of this free life as soon as possible.
Outside the ward, five fully armed police officers sat on a bench and chatted.
