Detective: From the Police Academy

Chapter 408 Are you a father?
Guangxing City, Haijiang Branch.

Wei Qunshan was sitting in the office, drinking tea comfortably, when there was a knock on the office door.

"Come in." He put down the teacup and looked towards the door.

The door was pushed open, and Cai Xiaojing saluted: "Director Wei."

"Xiao Jing, you followed Luo Rui around to handle cases. I haven't seen you for a while. You look a lot thinner." Wei Qunshan said with concern, picking up a teacup with tweezers: "Here, come, I don't know where Director Hu got this good tea from. It tastes good."

Cai Xiaojing sat on the sofa, holding a document in her hand, with an expression as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Wei Qunshan noticed her expression, but did not rush to ask. Instead, he boiled the teacup with boiling water and poured her a cup of steaming green tea.

"Give it a try?" Wei Qunshan stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.

Cai Xiaojing's hands had already been placed on the edge of the teacup. Upon hearing this, she picked it up and took a sip.

A strand of hair fell on her cheek, and she used her slender fingers to push it behind her ear.

"How is it?" Wei Qunshan looked at her eagerly: "How does it taste?"

Cai Xiaojing smiled and said, "It tastes bitter but has a slight fragrance. It's a good tea."

"Really?" Wei Qunshan also laughed: "Our old leader just likes this."

The old leader he was referring to was naturally Hu Changyu. Several years ago, they were the chief and deputy chief. Cai Xiaojing and Chen Hao also served as criminal police detachment captains in Linjiang City, also the chief and deputy chief.

Cai Xiaojing put the teacup on the table and picked up the teapot. Even though the teacup in front of Wei Qunshan was full, she still licked some tea.

Wei Qunshan tapped the coffee table with his fingers, then looked at the file Cai Xiaojing placed on her thigh. "Xiaojing, do you want to talk to me about something?"

Cai Xiaojing nodded slightly, put down the teapot, picked up the document, lowered her head, squeezed the document in her hand again and again, and finally, as if she had made up her mind, she handed the document out.

She raised her face, her eyes firm, and said in a very serious tone: "Director Wei, this is my resignation letter."

Wei Qunshan's eyes narrowed slightly, but his expression remained calm: "Are you serious?"

"Yes!" Cai Xiaojing nodded.

"No regrets?"

"No regrets!"

"Why?" Wei Qunshan did not accept the resignation letter, so Cai Xiaojing kept stretching her hands forward.

"I want to live a happier life." Cai Xiaojing replied, but she lowered her eyes slightly and did not dare to look the leader in the face.

"Nonsense!" Wei Qunshan said coldly, "Have you thought it through? Do you really not want to be a police officer anymore?"

Cai Xiaojing raised her head and said seriously: "Director Wei, I have thought about it a long time ago. I have thought about it for a long, long time..."

Wei Qunshan snorted coldly: "Does Director Luo from the Provincial Department know about this?"

Cai Xiaojing could tell that his words were mocking, and that he seemed to have a strong opinion of Luo Rui, so she changed the subject and said, "I am affiliated with the Haijiang Branch, and I am just a temporary official in the provincial department..."

The meaning of her words was clear and her tone was firm.

Wei Qunshan stared at her for a long time and sighed slightly: "What a pity..."

Then, he took the document in his hand and said, "The HR department needs to review and approve it, and the organization needs to consider it. Your resignation will take quite some time."

"I understand." Cai Xiaojing replied, as if she had completed a major task. She suddenly felt relaxed. "In the next period of time, I will definitely complete the work at hand and will never let down Director Wei and the organization's trust and cultivation."

"Thinking back, if it weren't for you, Luo Rui might not have applied for the police academy. You've been his support all along."

Cai Xiaojing shook her head, not wanting to talk any more. Instead, she stood up and saluted: "Director Wei, is there anything else? I'll be busy now."

Wei Qunshan raised his head and nodded, looking a little lonely.

Cai Xiaojing walked out of the office and closed the door gently.

After she left, Wei Qunshan immediately picked up the mobile phone on the coffee table and dialed a number.

After the call was connected, he gritted his teeth and yelled, "Luo Rui, do you have a pig brain?"

"Uh……"

"You are a pig-brained person, you have to compensate me with a deputy captain! I tell you, even if you become the captain one day, I will still scold you!" Wei Qunshan pressed the call button and threw the phone heavily on the coffee table.

------------

Guangxing City, beach villa.

Luo Rui sat under the parasol, holding the phone in his hand, a little dazed, muttering, "Is there something wrong?"

At this moment, his mother Feng Ping brought him some tea: "Who called?"

"It's okay, just an old bastard." Luo Rui shrugged.

"You're doing nothing serious every day." Feng Ping sat in the chair next to him and looked at Luo Rui's face seriously.

At this moment, the beach villa is bustling with people coming and going.

As early as a month ago, the whole family was busy preparing for Luo Rui and Mo Wanqiu's engagement party, and the formal engagement will be held tomorrow at noon.

Luo Rui is the captain of the Haidong Provincial Public Security Department and the boss behind Hongguang Capital. Many guests came to congratulate him, but he declined them one by one and only invited relatives and friends to participate.

But even so, dozens of tables had to be set up. Fortunately, the yard of the seaside villa was large enough, so the ceremony was held outdoors.

At this moment, the yard is very lively. It is also early spring in March, with flowers blooming and facing the sea.

"Mom, what are you looking at?" Luo Rui put down his phone and looked at his mother's face.

"My son has grown up." Feng Ping said with emotion.

Luo Rui joked: "It's still early. I feel like I'm still eighteen years old."

"That's all nonsense." Feng Ping sighed, "I'm telling you, son, you must treat Wanqiu well in the future and don't let her suffer."

"Don't worry, it's good enough that she doesn't bully me."

Feng Ping glared at him, and then said earnestly: "When you two met, I thought Wanqiu was a good girl. I still remember that you offended Wang Tianlong, the owner of Tianlong Hotel, and he smashed our restaurant. You went to him to seek justice, but they were all gangsters. Wanqiu, the girl, didn't say a word, broke the broom, and dared to fight you with a stick.

Although this girl is a bit fierce, she was really nice to you. After that, you and she were both detained in the police station and almost had a criminal record. Do you still remember it?"

Luo Rui narrowed his eyes and nodded: "I haven't forgotten."

Feng Ping smiled and said, "I still remember that you said you wanted to marry her and that you had to prepare 288,000 yuan as a gift."

"Yeah." Luo Rui answered casually, looking at the calm sea under the setting sun.

Feng Ping stared into her son's eyes, reached out and held his hand, and said earnestly: "You have to be worthy of Wanqiu, understand?"

"Mom, you've already said that." Luo Rui seemed a little impatient.

Feng Ping sighed, patted his hands, and got up to go about his business.

As soon as she left, Dad Rosen came over with a cup of Coke.

Luo Rui narrowed his eyes and looked at him: "You..."

Rosen smiled and said, "Son, you loved drinking Coke when you were a kid. How about one?"

"What do you want to say?" Luo Rui knew his father's character well. He couldn't hide what was on his mind, and it was all written on his face.

Rosen coughed, sat down in the chair where his wife had just sat, and placed a cup of Coke next to the cup of tea.

"We have been father and son for so long, and there are some things that your mother cannot say, but as a father, I must tell you." Rosen spoke carefully without even looking at his son's face.

Luo Rui turned his head to look at him, feeling a sigh in his heart. His mother would never change. No matter how he treated him in the past, she would remain the same no matter what he became in the future.

But his father was different. Ever since Luo Rui went further and further on the road of life and climbed higher and higher, his father's attitude towards him began to become humble. Sometimes when the two chatted, he could feel that when he was a child, his father boasted to him a lot, and in Luo Rui's heart, he always believed that he was omnipotent.

But now I think about it, when has my father ever treated me so carefully? He always has to think twice before chatting with me.

At this time, Luo Rui reached out and picked up the Coke on the table: "I'm not used to drinking tea, I still like drinking Coke."

As he said this, he took a big sip and let out a long breath: "Great."

Seeing this, Rosen smiled and said, "Really? Every summer, you always drink secretly after school."

"I also took your hidden money from the jar in the cupboard. When money was missing, you didn't dare to say anything because you were afraid that my mother would find out."

"Uh..." Rosen blinked and pretended to be surprised: "So it was you who took it. I thought it was your mother."

"If it were my mother, would she keep it all for you?" Luo Rui laughed.

Hearing his laughter, Rosen's mood improved: "It's different now. Our family depends on you for support."

Luo Rui understood that this was the crux of the problem. His father was old and could no longer work. He used to be the breadwinner of the family, and he did a good job, ensuring that the family had enough food and clothing and lived in good health. Now he had lost his place in life and his original self-confidence was gone.

If the parents are older and there are new members in the family, no matter whether the family is rich or poor, a table of sumptuous dishes will be placed in front of the whole family, and the parents will no longer have the right to distribute the food.

Luo Rui clearly remembered that his grandparents were like this. They would never reach for the most sumptuous dish with their chopsticks. They would wait until their younger generations had almost finished eating before they would take a bite.

This is why Chinese people have the custom of helping others to pick up food at the table. Of course, there was also a lack of food in the old days when people could not eat. The head of the household should take care of the younger ones, but also the older ones.

But it is precisely because humans care most about the next generation, but often ignore the parents who gave birth to and raised them.

If a child and his parents are in danger, who would you save first? Most people would choose to save their own children first, rather than their parents. The gene for procreation is already engraved in human genes.

Luo Rui had never thought deeply about these things, but every time he went home, he understood these things in his heart.

At this time, hearing his father say this, he shook his head and said, "I'm grown up now, and I will definitely support the family. Besides, our family's money will not be spent in three lifetimes."

Rosen nodded, but then shook his head: "That's what I'm worried about."

"Uh……"

"Son..." Seeing that no one was paying attention to this side, Rosen whispered: "Well...you must not find a mistress."

"Ahem..." Luo Rui almost choked on his saliva: "Dad, is this your experience?"

"That's right!" Rosen nodded without hesitation, and then realized that there was a trap in this statement, and immediately shook his head to reject it: "What nonsense are you talking about? I love your mother deeply and have always been loyal to her. I have never had any evil thoughts."

"I do not believe."

"Believe it or not!" Rosen used his remaining dignity and glared at his son: "If you are not a policeman, I can do something to you.

After marriage, if you feel bored or annoyed, spend some money to do that... that, you know? It's a one-time transaction, don't mess with anyone, don't find a mistress, don't do anything to let Wanqiu down. "

Hearing this, Luo Rui looked at his father suspiciously: "Did you often..."

"Okay, okay!" Rosen stood up and dodged, "Don't... don't bring this up. I'm just chatting with men. I'm just telling you some experience. If you want to throw dirty water on me, we can stop chatting as father and son."

Luo Rui did not let his father go and kept staring at him until Rosen covered his face and turned around.

"Okay, okay." Luo Rui retracted his gaze and curled his lips: "Thank you for your reminder, I understand."

Rosen snorted coldly, turned around and picked up the Coke cup on the table, and said angrily: "Drink less Coke in the future, this thing kills sperm."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Luo Rui said perfunctorily. After seeing his father leave, he sighed slightly and looked at the engagement ceremony being set up in the venue.

The flowers alone cost more than 100,000 yuan, and they were spread all around the beach villa, making it look like being in a sea of ​​flowers.

Tomorrow at noon, he and Mo Wanqiu will hold their engagement ceremony here hand in hand. This is a major event in life. Luo Rui feels a little dazed and a little nervous.

In his previous life, he and Mo Wanqiu could not reach this point, but in this life, he could fulfill this wish. It should have been a happy thing, but he still couldn't get excited in his heart.

At this time, a figure sat in the chair where Rosen had just sat.

Luo Rui knew who was coming without even looking.

"Aunt He." He turned around and looked at Mo Wanqiu's mother, He Chunhua: "Are you looking for me?"

He Chunhua smiled widely, rubbing his hands, and seemed a little reserved: "Luo Rui, I want to talk to you."

Luo Rui looked at Mo Liguo who was standing on the steps of the villa. The old man had his back to him and was pointing and gesticulating at the void, as if he was rehearsing something.

"How about calling Uncle Mo as well? Can we chat together?"

The day before the engagement, Luo Rui knew that he could not escape the advice of his elders. Instead of fighting one by one, it would be better to face them all together.

Unexpectedly, He Chunhua shook his head: "What does he know? I just need to say a few words to you."

"You go ahead." Luo Rui nodded and had to let her do what she wanted.

He Chunhua thought about it and hesitated to speak several times, which made Luo Rui feel as uncomfortable as a cat's paw.

"Aunt He, please tell me."

Hearing this, He Chunhua nodded solemnly. After taking a breath, she looked into Luo Rui's eyes and said, "I shouldn't be the one to tell you about this, but I have to tell you in advance. You must pretend that you don't know."

Seeing her so serious, Luo Rui straightened his face and nodded in agreement.

"You're going to be a father!"

"Who? Me?" Luo Rui seemed to have heard it wrong. He stood up immediately in fright and asked, pointing at his nose.

"Wanqiu is already three months pregnant." He Chunhua's face did not look happy, but rather a little sad.

Luo Rui sat down in a chair and asked in a daze: "Why didn't she tell me earlier?"

"You don't understand." He Chunhua replied, "You can't tell anyone during the early stages of pregnancy, and you've been working on a case outside."

Then, she stared at Luo Rui's face and asked, "Are you unhappy?"

Luo Rui's eyes froze, and he quickly showed his excitement: "How could it be possible? Isn't this a double happiness? It's a good thing! Aunt He, no, Mom, don't worry, I will pretend that I don't know anything, so as not to let anyone know."

This "Mom" made He Chunhua feel relieved: "Luo Rui, you and Wanqiu should live a good life and take good care of her."

"Mom, please rest assured. I will treat her well and never change my original intention. I will protect her all my life and never let her suffer."

"Then I'm relieved." He Chunhua wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and stood up: "Then I'll go and get busy. You're getting engaged tomorrow, and we have to arrange accommodation for these relatives when they come."

"Okay." Luo Rui also stood up and watched her leave.

As soon as He Chunhua left, Mo Liguo came over on tiptoe, looking like a young wife.

Luo Rui didn't want to pay attention to him at all, but due to his future father-in-law's identity, he had to deal with it: "Uncle Mo?"

Mo Liguo smiled shyly, and said with an awkward expression: "Luo Rui, that... uh..."

Luo Rui immediately said: "Don't worry, I will take good care of it..."

Before he could finish his words, Mo Liguo's face changed, and he suddenly burst into tears with a "Wooah" sound, and hugged Luo Rui's shoulders.

"Luo Rui, I only have this one daughter, this one daughter, and she's going to get married. I feel so sad, I don't want her to. When she was just born, she was only this big, and now... now she's going to leave me... Woo woo... I'm sad, I'm so heartbroken!"

Luo Rui's mind was already in the clouds, he wanted to fly to Mo Wanqiu's side, listen to the fetal heartbeat, and touch the fetus through the belly, but he was entangled by his father-in-law and could not leave for a while. He muttered in his heart: It's not a big deal, a grown man, does he need to be so sentimental?
Mo Liguo burst into tears and said, "I couldn't sleep for the past half month. Thinking that my daughter will leave this home soon, I feel so sad and painful!"

"Okay, okay." Luo Rui patted his shoulder and said, "We all live together, there's no reason to be so sad."

Mo Liguo shook his head vigorously, and threw his snot on his shoulder: "It's different! Wanqiu is pregnant, did you know?"

"I know. Aunt He just told me."

Mo Liguo wiped his tears and said, "Wanqiu asked the doctor to check and found out that she is pregnant with a girl. You will understand how I feel at this moment..."

Hearing this, Luo Rui opened his mouth wide, stunned, and stared at Mo Liguo in disbelief: "What did you say?"

Ever since Luo Rui came back from Yonghe City, Mo Wanqiu hasn't talked to him much in the past two days, and they haven't stayed together at night. He didn't even know that Mo Wanqiu was pregnant. Now the whole family knows the gender of the child, but he is still kept in the dark.

Mo Liguo sniffed and said, "A daughter. Wanqiu is pregnant with a daughter."

"I have a child? A daughter?" Luo Rui swallowed his saliva, his heart was in turmoil, and he seemed to think that the scene before him was unreal.

"Yes." Mo Liguo nodded: "I just said that you will understand me now in the future..."

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Luo Rui waved his hand to interrupt him: "My daughter will never get married in her life. I will support her for the rest of her life. She can do whatever she wants in the future and not do anything she doesn't want to do!
I don't allow her to date or get married. If any bastard tries to touch her, I'll break his legs! I, Luo Rui, always keep my word!"

Mo Liguo opened his eyes wide and wanted to say something, but he saw Luo Rui running towards the villa as if he was being chased by a dog.

At this time, the staff in the villa were setting up the scene. Some were holding bouquets of flowers, some were holding vases, some were wiping crystal chandeliers, and some were laying red carpets on the stairs.

Luo Rui squeezed past these people and ran upstairs, just in time to bump into Nong Ying who was about to go downstairs.

"Where's Mo Wanqiu?"

Nong Ying was frightened by his expression and was a little confused: "In the backyard."

"Okay, I got it." Luo Rui walked past her and ran towards his study.

He opened the drawer of the study, took out a box, and then ran downstairs quickly.

When he went out the back door, he saw Mo Wanqiu wearing a white dress, standing among the flowers in the yard with her back to him.

In her sight, there was a flower bed in full bloom, with clusters of flowers in full bloom, bright and juicy colors.

Luo Rui took a deep breath and calmed himself down. Then he straightened the hem of his clothes and slowly walked down the stairs.

Mo Wanqiu seemed to sense someone behind her. She suddenly turned around. When she saw it was him, her eyes smiled like crescent moons: "What's wrong with you? Why do you look so serious?"

Luo Rui also smiled and looked at her belly.

He should have known this long ago. Last time on the yacht, he received a call from Qiao Xue, who was about to go to Yonghe City to handle a case. Mo Wanqiu said at the time: "Go, go, but pay attention to your own safety. Don't rush into anything. If something happens to you, what will happen to us mother and son... No, that's not right. I'm not pregnant yet. In short, you must be careful..."

"We'll get engaged tomorrow." Luo Rui reached into his pocket.

Mo Wanqiu grinned: "What? Do you want to regret it?"

"Can you make it?"

"That won't do. All my aunts and uncles know that I'm going to marry you. I can't let them laugh at me."

"In that case, I'll just make do with it?"

Mo Wanqiu blinked: "So aggrieved?"

"What else?" Luo Rui approached her and took her fair and slender right hand. His expression had never been so solemn: "Marry me?"

He took out the box from his pocket, knelt on one knee, and presented the ring inside to her.

Mo Wanqiu didn't show any surprise on her face. She just stared at him blankly: "Luo Rui, do you love me?"
