Detective: I, Cao Jianjun, started by arresting my brother-in-law.

"It's okay, I'll take a taxi back."

Xia Jie still refused.

"Hey, why is this girl so stubborn?"

Cao Jianjun muttered without even lifting his eyelids, "By the time you get back, it will be almost midnight. You're just a young girl. Is it safe for you to take a taxi home? You don't have to worry, but I don't either."

"Haha, Brother Cao, I'm a policeman."

"Police officers are human too; they're not superhuman beings with three heads and six arms..."

"Okay, okay! I'll drive the car back later."

Xia Jie nodded in agreement, both amused and exasperated, and glanced at Cao Jianjun in the passenger seat: "Brother Cao, thank you for Jiajia's matter."

"no need thank me?"

"Thank you for helping her..."

"Xia Jie, how come you've become like Old Chen?"

Cao Jianjun was thanked all day, and he was overwhelmed: "Even if it wasn't Jiajia, if I encountered a case like this, could I not help?"

"I know Brother Cao's temper."

Xia Jie forced a bitter smile onto her pretty face: "No matter what, Jiajia has been playing with me since we were little, so I should thank you."

"Thanks, thanks."

Cao Jianjun was completely drunk, his head resting against the car window, muttering, "Xia Jie, you're a good girl in every way, except for your stubborn personality."

"In this day and age, such a straightforward temperament is not a good thing..."

"For example, regarding the matter of that woman surnamed Wu, you did nothing wrong, but whether it's that woman surnamed Wu, the station, or the bureau."

"They all want you to apologize, do you know why?"

Hearing Cao Jianjun mutter about this, Xia Jie subconsciously slowed down the car.

Her fair face also began to look serious, and her eyes dimmed.

"Brother Cao, I know that the director is afraid of the negative impact, so he wants me to suffer a little grievance and smooth things over."

Xia Jie slowed down her car, and as she spoke, she became increasingly agitated: "But why should I? I did nothing wrong, why should I apologize?"

"Because this world is devoid of black and white, and because this society confuses right and wrong."

Cao Jianjun, his breath reeking of alcohol, laughed at himself: "Xia Jie, if I said I could help you with this, would you dare to cooperate?"

"help me?"

Xia Jie was taken aback: "What do you mean by that, Brother Cao?"

"Hey, you're oversimplifying things."

Cao Jianjun had actually been considering getting involved in this matter from the very beginning.

In the world of this TV series, many things are handled in a way that is frustrating and depressing.

For example, when an elderly person walking their dog frames and harms a family of three.

For example, the affair between Dr. Wu and Xia Jie.

It's obvious that the scoundrels are often the winners, and honest people are always the ones who get bullied.

Cao Jianjun couldn't control what reality was like, but he had some control over the things happening around him right now.

then.

Cao Jianjun's drunkenness had mostly dissipated, and he perked up, sat up straight, and opened his eyes.

See this.

Xia Jie was taken aback: "Brother Cao, you're not drunk?"

"drunk."

Cao Jianjun unscrewed the mineral water bottle and took two big gulps: "But I'm sober now."

"So fast?"

"Let's get down to business."

Cao Jianjun waved his hand and began to speak seriously: "If you don't apologize to that woman surnamed Wu, this matter will never be over."

"You think you can get away with it by not going? No... the station chief and the instructor will send a policewoman who looks a lot like you to impersonate you and apologize."

"Or, the director or the others can apologize on your behalf."

creak-

Upon hearing this, Xia Jie could no longer remain calm. She slammed on the brakes and pulled the car over to the side of the road.

Shock! Astonishment! Bewilderment!

A mix of emotions welled up inside Xia Jie, who looked at Cao Jianjun with utter disbelief.

"No, Brother Cao, why? I clearly did nothing wrong, why do I have to apologize?"

Xia Jie's eyes reddened as she spoke.

She was, after all, a young person just entering society, and her understanding of the world was black and white, clearly divided.

"Because that woman surnamed Wu can always be a rogue."

Cao Jianjun said with a self-deprecating smile, "She keeps filing complaints against our station, putting pressure on the bureau and the station chief."

"Think about it, if it really comes to that, how much impact would it have on us?"

"Besides, you still have six months before you can be officially promoted. To protect you, the director will definitely not let you take this punishment."

Xia Jie fell silent.

For the first time in over twenty years, my worldview has been shattered.

What they teach in police academy and what they learn in textbooks is complete nonsense here.

"So, I'd like to know, what do you think?"

Cao Jianjun rolled down the car window and breathed in the air outside: "If you don't want to compromise, then I'll give you a hand."

"How to help?"

Xia Jie suddenly became curious.

"Let's make a big deal out of this," Cao Jianjun said casually. "You're not wrong, the institute isn't wrong, but the institute has its concerns."

"What concerns? The concerns are about the potential impact..."

"That guy surnamed Wu dared to be so unscrupulous because he grasped this point."

"Since that's the case, let's make a big scene and get to the bottom of things, how about that?"

21. Wife, I've arrested your mother.

Xia Jie fell silent.

With both hands gripping the steering wheel, she turned her head to the side, blinking her bright, watery eyes as she looked at Cao Jianjun.

Clearly, she couldn't accept this suggestion.

"look……"

Cao Jianjun laughed and spread his hands, saying, "Now you know why the director made you apologize?"

"understood."

Xia Jie nodded with a somber expression.

She knew that if things really became public knowledge and caused a huge uproar online, just as Cao Jianjun had said, the nature of the matter would be completely different.

She's a police officer. If things really come to that point and the woman surnamed Wu is punished, she might not necessarily be happy.

"Okay, let's drive."

Cao Jianjun smiled with satisfaction: "Why is the director the director? Sometimes, based on his perspective, his consideration of issues is much more comprehensive than yours or mine."

"Thank you, Brother Cao."

In an instant, Xia Jie figured out many things.

He restarted the engine, turned off the hazard lights, and drove the car back to Cao Jianjun's house.

Maturity is painful; the transformation from immaturity always involves the pain of peeling away layers.

On the rest of the way, the two stopped talking. When they arrived at the apartment building, Cao Jianjun reminded them to be careful and then turned and went upstairs.

Xia Jie smiled and watched him leave, staring blankly at Cao Jianjun's back without saying a word.

Then, Xia Jie turned around and looked out the car window at the dark night sky, lost in thought.

It takes time for the girl's mindset to change.

Although she understood the director's and instructor's actions and accepted the reality, she still needed to absorb all these changes.

…………

When Cao Jianjun got home, it was already 12:15 a.m.
