Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 467 Internet Celebrity or Gold Digger (Part 1)
open bar.

Xiao Qiang, who couldn't hold his liquor, eventually collapsed onto the table and fell fast asleep. It's unclear whether his alcohol tolerance had truly run out at the high altitude, or whether he had something on his mind and drank in a drunken stupor.

Chen Shu took off his coat and covered the sleeping Xiao Qiang with it. Feeling a bit cold, he prepared to call Jiang Hai to help Xiao Qiang back to the hotel to rest.

He glanced at Shelly, the internet celebrity who was still live-streaming enthusiastically across from him.

At this moment, Shelly, wearing headphones, spoke in a trembling yet tender voice, "Those Shao Mins were terrifying just now. They surrounded people and were cursing at them, looking like they were about to attack them! If you hadn't called the police so quickly, and the police hadn't arrived in time, people would have thought they'd never see you again."
"Thank you for still being there for me in the live stream, Brother Xinxin and Brother Superman. Please don't say that. I consider you my soulmates, and I consider you my one and only. I'm already very content that we can still keep in touch~"

Just as she was about to finish speaking, she suddenly raised her voice at the end, as if she couldn't control her emotions and let out a soft sob.

At the same time, Shelly, who looked very sad, glanced at Chen Shu, who was staring blankly at her, and made an OK sign to him from behind the back of her phone where the camera couldn't capture it.

I go!

This internet celebrity streamer!
Absolutely breathtaking!

Chen Shu hesitated for a moment, then said, "Shelly, why don't you turn off the live stream?"

As a grassroots police officer with many years of experience, I am indeed somewhat intimidated by these self-media workers. It's not that public opinion supervision is inherently wrong, but rather that it should be based on facts and a positive outlook. Those who make a living from this are characterized by their desire to grab attention and always try to create a big story, such as sensitive social topics like doctor-patient relationships or police-civilian relationships.

Chen Shu has seen far too many instances of taking things out of context. In their eyes, traffic always comes first, while legality, fairness, justice, and the truth all have to take a backseat.

Even when Shelly agreed to let the three Shao Mins drink together, Chen Shu suspected that it was deliberately done for the fans in the live broadcast room, or that she did it on purpose under the encouragement of the fans to win more favor and more traffic.

This kind of curiosity is not uncommon in the fiercely competitive live streaming industry.

Therefore, for a police officer like Chen Shu, avoiding anything related to the media or social media is a habitual action. For police officers, the more they film, the more mistakes they make; the less they film, the fewer mistakes they make; and if they don't film, there's no mistake – that's the same idea.

Shelly was also decisive. Seeing that Chen Shu had given his opinion, she said "bye-bye" to the fans, turned off her phone with a snap, raised her elbow and wiped away the tears that were still hanging precariously on her eyelids, and her expression immediately brightened.

Then she took a bottle of freshly brought Urumqi beer from the table, poured herself half a glass, took only a small sip, and sincerely thanked him.

Shelly specifically mentioned that she had been trapped by a group of people, but Chen Shu, who was also alone, rescued her from danger. It was a classic hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress scenario, and the rescued person could only repay him with her body.

Chen Shu couldn't stand this, so he returned the toast to cover up his embarrassment.

But this drink stirred up even more ripples in Shelly's heart, who already had some thoughts about it. She felt that the two of them should have shared hardships together, and that the man in front of her would definitely not hide the truth from her anymore.

She leaned over, her elbows resting on the table, her eyes filled with tender affection, making her even more charming and alluring, and asked the question that had been on her mind for a long time.

"Brother Shu, what do you do? Could you tell me for a moment?"

Chen Shu, who had just finished drinking and put down his glass, was taken aback. He thought to himself that he had told her earlier on the plane that he worked in safety equipment, so why was she asking about it now?

Chen Shu glanced at Xiao Qiang, who was sleeping on the table, and immediately realized that the other party had probably guessed his identity as a policeman from Xiao Qiang's drunken ramblings earlier. Chen Shu smiled at Xiao Qiang and said frankly, "He and I are colleagues."

"impossible!"

Shelly slammed her hand on the table and stood up abruptly, looking extremely shocked.

She questioned him rapidly, "You can't be a police auxiliary officer! Aren't you a big internet celebrity and a big star?"

"A big star? Me?" Chen Shu pointed at his own nose, feeling a bit breathless, and was both amused and exasperated. "Little girl, you've mistaken me for someone else."

Shelly shook her head vigorously: "I have fans who say they've seen you on Douyin, and not just one or two. You're definitely hiding this from me! You must be a big internet celebrity who secretly ran away on vacation! There must be a lot of people following you!"

Chen Shu chuckled and explained, "You mean bodyguards and agents, right? Take a good look around, are there any of those people?"

Shelly actually walked over to the people sitting and eating nearby, staring at them like an idiot for ages, circling around them many times before finally returning to her own seat. If she weren't quite a beautiful woman, she would have been kicked out long ago.

She slumped into her chair like a deflated balloon, muttering to herself, "When we were surrounded earlier, no bodyguards or agents rushed in to save you. In the end, the police had to come to the rescue. Sigh."

Her gaze towards Chen Shu was already somewhat deflated, but she still struggled to ask, "Then why do my fans say they've seen you on Douyin?"

Chen Shu spread his hands helplessly and said, "We police officers are prone to getting into trouble when we're out there. And when something happens, people like to take out their phones and shove them in our faces to take pictures, as if they're afraid we'll run away. I don't know why, they don't take pictures of criminals or victims, they just like to take pictures of us."

"Oh, so you're the legendary auxiliary police officer who takes the blame for the regular employees." Shelly accepted the explanation, but feeling a bit annoyed, she deliberately made a sarcastic remark.

She was still uncomfortable, and her lips curled up mechanically before she grabbed the large wine glass she had only taken a small sip from earlier and gulped it down. At this moment, she completely disregarded her ladylike image.

Then, wiping his mouth, he poured himself another glass, tilted his head back, and the beer was gone in an instant. This drunken look seemed to be a farewell to his previous "rumored dream" with a certain male star.

Watching Shelly chug beer down her throat one after another, and glancing at Xiao Qiang who was snoring loudly all day long, Chen Shu still kindly reminded her that this Urumqi beer didn't seem like their ordinary beer from Donghai.

"It's okay. I can drink a thousand beers without getting drunk, don't worry. I'm out today, so I'll definitely have a great time! Drink to my heart's content! At least, the number of online viewers broke the record today! Yeah!" Shelly threw her large beer glass on the table, stood up, patted her impressive chest, and tried to reassure herself.

The large, cylindrical wine glass rolled off the table with a gurgling sound and crashed to the ground, shattering into many pieces, scattering glass shards all over the floor.

"Oh no, I'll have to take care of these two drunkards later." Chen Shu smiled in agreement, but inwardly he sighed, wondering if he should call Jiang Hai over to help support them.

Shelly wasn't surprised to see the glass break, and casually picked up the half-empty beer in front of Xiaoqiang and continued drinking.

Once the wine is down, people start talking more.

Facing this stranger, whom she was meeting for the first time and perhaps for the last, Shelly, now energized, spoke candidly about her past.
