Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 523 Yumaiken and His Daughter
After the team returned to Keshi City, Chen Shu was sent to the hospital for treatment. Fortunately, the bullet passed through his right shoulder and did not hit anything, but it was more serious than the injury from getting several ear piercings.

Throughout the journey, Chen Shu did not resist or struggle. He just lay there and let others do as they pleased, as if his soul had left his body after dealing with K's attack.

After receiving intravenous fluids all day, Chen Shu finally regained some of his senses.

During this time, Shelly brought her brother Ma Dacheng to visit, and the joy of the two young people finally eased some of Chen Shu's sadness.

Shelly, arm in arm with Ma Dacheng, chatted enthusiastically with Chen Shu about their future plans.

It turned out that after surviving this ordeal, Ma Dacheng finally patiently listened to his sister's explanation.

Perhaps he had truly come to terms with it and finally understood Shelly's live-streaming industry. With Shelly's repeated insistence, he prepared to return to Donghai City to accompany Shelly in her entrepreneurial endeavors.

Shelly nestled on Ma Dacheng's shoulder, saying that she wanted her brother to supervise her work and life in the future, and then help her choose a great husband.

While Julie went out to pour water for the others, Shelly suddenly approached Chen Shu, hugged him, and gave him a deep kiss on the cheek.

Ma Dacheng, standing to the side, felt somewhat embarrassed. Given his sister's straightforward personality, it was unexpected, but also understandable, for her to do something like this.

After the kiss, Shelly whispered in Chen Shu's ear, "Brother Shu, thank you. If Sister Li doesn't mind, I'm willing to repay you with my body."

After saying that, she took a few steps back and leaned against her brother, deliberately winking at Chen Shu, and then giggled.

Chen Shu's expression softened considerably.

After the siblings left, Julie, who had seen them downstairs, returned to the ward and was furious when she saw the bright red lipstick mark on Chen Shu's cheek.

Finally, he mentioned Ma Dacheng's words before he left, saying that he would go to Dongzhou to personally thank Chen Shu for saving his life.

Although Chen Shu said he didn't care, Julie could tell that he was genuinely happy for the future of the two siblings.

Soon after, Wang Hao arrived.

He came to say goodbye to Chen Shu, saying that he had received orders from his old unit to be transferred back to Shenchuan from Keshi.

After a brief chat, Wang Hao's words were full of complaints about Yu Maiken, saying that he had never seen such a violent policeman who didn't treat his victims like human beings.

"They're not human..." Julie thought to herself as she slammed the cup of hot water she had just brought onto the small table.

However, Wang Hao, engrossed in his speech, failed to notice that he was determined to bring the sponsorship to the Criminal Investigation Division where Captain Zhao worked after returning to his old unit, and would not give the Special Investigation Division a single penny more.

Wang Hao crossed his arms and said smugly, "Still pretending to be cool, saying the Special Investigation Team doesn't take prisoners or accept surrenders? Chen Shu, you saw it too, didn't I save the last one? Heh, let's see if that old Yu dares to show off in front of us again!"

Chen Shu smiled and agreed, "Of course, you are Brother Hao."

NX needs this kind of police officer to protect Julie, from a third-party perspective, that's how I see it.

Before leaving, the enthusiastic Wang Hao insisted on adding Chen Shu as a WeChat friend, saying that he would definitely find him for a few drinks when he went to Shenchuan on a business trip next time. Then, behind Zhu Li's back, he stuffed a few packs of cigarettes and a talisman under the bed.

His eyes blinked repeatedly, giving him an "I understand" look.

Since Wang Hao arrived, the ward has become a little warmer.

A day later, Yu Maiken and Captain Zhao came to visit, each carrying several bags of fruit, followed by a cute little girl.

The little girl appeared to be of Chinese descent, but she was wearing traditional Shaomin clothing.

She wore an embroidered pomegranate-red hat, and a long braid hung down to her waist. Her eyebrows were painted dark black and deliberately drawn into a long shape. She wore a red silk dress with a fitted waist, and was adorned with earrings, bracelets, and a necklace—everything she wore was perfectly complete. It was clear that she was the darling of the family.

The little girl first sweetly called out "Sister" to Julie, who was standing to the side, and then obediently sat behind Yumaike, listening curiously to the three policemen chatting.

Chen Shu glanced at it but didn't say anything.

The three chatted casually about the days of solving cases and chasing K members. Yu Maiken casually mentioned that his right hand was only scratched and nothing serious.

Team Leader Zhao scoffed, "This guy is a superman. Unless he gets shot in the brain or heart, he'll just say, 'It's nothing serious.'"

Yu Maiken sneered, "You talk too much. What's it to you?"

Watching the two of them go back and forth, Chen Shu thought that this combination was quite well-matched, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up slightly.

Julie kept Yu Maiken and the others behind, saying she would take the little girl out to buy some hot food so the three of them could have a good chat.

Watching Zhu Li's departing figure, Captain Zhao said with some envy, "Officer Chen, normally we police officers don't date colleagues. But judging from the way forensic doctor Zhu has served you these past few days, you'd regret it for the rest of your life if you didn't. Where can you find a girl like that in today's society?"

Yu Maiken continued to sneer: "Captain Zhao, did Lao Cheng mention Zhu's background to you?"

Team Leader Zhao was in the middle of his persuasion when Yu Maiken interrupted, and he became quite dissatisfied: "What background or anything like that? Our Officer Chen will definitely get a first-class merit when he goes back to his hometown based on this merit! He'll be promoted straight up. Why would he care about his wife's background?"

Clearly, news of Director Liu reporting his merits had already spread throughout the local public security bureau.

Yu Maiken grinned: "When our Lao Liu calls Forensic Doctor Zhu, he still has to address her politely as Sister Zhu."

Yumaiken's statement was a bit of an exaggeration, but the effect was actually the same.

"Old Liu, Director Liu?" Captain Zhao stared in disbelief, his voice trembling slightly as he stiffly turned his head toward Chen Shu and said, "If we don't pursue this, we'll regret it for eight lifetimes, no, eighty lifetimes!"

Chen Shu was almost amused by the two guys when he suddenly remembered that there were several packs of cigarettes that Wang Hao had stuffed under the bed, so he bent down and pulled them all out.

Ignoring the nurse's attempts to stop him, Yu Maiken, with a grin, pushed the other person out of the ward, then handed Chen Shu a cigarette: "Chen Shu, the forensic doctor came to investigate the scene and counted the ketamine. Do you know how many ketamine molecules you blew up back then?"

Chen Shu remained silent.

Team Leader Zhao was rather curious: "Team Leader Yu, how many people were bombed? Tell me quickly. If you don't tell me, I'll go directly to Tursunjiang to ask."

Yu Maiken lowered his head and lit a fire for himself. Then he raised his head, the light from the ward illuminating his face. A meaningful smile appeared on his lips.

"Hehe, that's more than all my previous achievements combined! If Xiliken gets released after serving his sentence and exposes Chen Shu's matter abroad, he might break my bounty record."

Team Leader Zhao immediately covered his mouth: "This matter must be kept to yourself!"

Yu Maiken glanced at him: "Making a fuss over nothing, isn't this what we should be doing? Chen Shu, don't worry, the bureau will keep your matter completely confidential. At most, only the political officers will know that you applied for a first-class merit. As for the reason, no one will know."

Chen Shu awkwardly touched his nose and changed the subject: "Was that you in front of me?"

After a pause, recalling the pocket watch that Yu Maiken often took out of his pocket, Chen Shu, who could now be considered a comrade-in-arms, finally asked frankly, "Is she your daughter?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Maiken, with his deep-set eyes and high nose, smiled slightly and said without hesitation, "She is my daughter, named Little Grape."
