Major Crimes Unit Starts with Police Academy Students

Then, he said softly,

"Xiaojie, it's already time to leave work, aren't you leaving yet?"

Xia Jie only came to her senses at this moment, and verbally agreed.

“Oh, Mingcheng,”

So, in a panic, she began to pack her things.

Wu Mingcheng then asked curiously,

"Xiaojie, what's wrong? You've seemed distracted all afternoon. Is something bothering you?"

Xia Jie forced a smile, shook her head, and said...

"Mingcheng, it's nothing,"

Then, she remembered Wu Mingcheng's injuries and asked about them.

"By the way, how's your injury?"

Xia Jie's words were clearly insincere, which made Wu Mingcheng even more worried.

Judging from Xia Jie's situation, this incident has clearly had a significant impact on her mental well-being.

This can't go on. Xia Jie will develop a mental block sooner or later. I have to find a way to comfort her.

Wu Mingcheng suddenly thought of something and spoke up.

"Come on, Xiaojie, come with me to a place,"

Then, without saying a word, he pulled Xia Jie outside. The two of them arrived at the parking area in the yard, where Wu Mingcheng put a helmet on Xia Jie.

He got on his motorcycle and saw that Xia Jie was still standing there, seemingly confused.

He quickly said,

"Xiaojie, hurry up and get in the car!"

Xia Jie then got on Wu Mingcheng's motorcycle, and the two left the police station together.

This scene was witnessed by Wang Shouyi, the director of the institute, and Ye Wei, the instructor of Class 637, who were coming down from the second floor of the office.

Wang Shouyi said to Ye Wei with a smile.

"It seems our new colleagues are getting along very well. It's only their second day on the job, and they're already so familiar with each other."

The instructor, Ye Wei, who was standing to the side, also said,

"It seems that Mingcheng and Xiaojie knew each other before,"

Wang Shouyi looked at Ye Wei in surprise and said,

"Really? Instructor, you should also pay more attention to the emotional lives of people in our unit."

Wu Mingcheng rode his motorcycle with Xia Jie to a riverside spot in Zhuzhou City that he remembered.

After arriving at the riverbank, he bought two cans of drinks and two popsicles from a vending machine by the roadside.

He handed Xia Jie an ice pop and a can of drink, saying,

"Xiaojie, when I'm tired, I like to have a sip of an ice-cold drink. It makes me feel instantly alive. Why don't you try it?"

Xia Jie looked delighted when she saw the popsicle Wu Mingcheng handed her.

"Mingcheng, how did you know I like to eat popsicles when I'm upset?"

Chapter 250 is beyond me?

Wu Mingcheng was completely bewildered. Could he tell Xia Jie that it was all just a coincidence? That he had simply bought an ice pop and a drink?

He couldn't bring himself to say it, so he could only keep Xia Jie's little habit in his heart.

He then asked,

"Okay, I know you must have something bothering you, tell me about it,"

Xia Jie then recounted the events of the morning to Wu Mingcheng in their entirety.

After listening, Wu Mingcheng nodded, understanding the true nature of Xia Jie's inner conflict.

Logically speaking, were she and Cheng Hao at fault? Neither of them was at fault.

Cheng Hao's decision to stop Xia Jie stemmed from practical considerations, taking into account a number of factors.

Xia Jie, on the other hand, is more emotional and believes that the duty of the police is to protect the personal safety and property of the people.

If he had been there, he would have definitely rushed forward and subdued the thief, because he was perfectly capable of doing so.

Wu Mingcheng then spoke up.

“Xiaojie, I think your idea is perfectly reasonable. Catching thieves and protecting people's property is our duty.”

After receiving Wu Mingcheng's affirmation, Xia Jie's mood immediately improved.

Then, Wu Mingcheng spoke again,

"But Xiaojie, I have a very practical question for you."

If Cheng hadn't stopped you, and you had rushed forward, were you absolutely certain you could have subdued the thief wielding a knife?

Xia Jie fell silent upon hearing Wu Mingcheng's question, because she knew she wasn't confident.

Seeing this, Wu Mingcheng understood Xia Jie's answer and continued,

"If you're not confident you can subdue the thief, then in this situation, you'll inevitably provoke the thief, pushing them to the brink."

As Director Cheng also said, the alley is right next to a busy downtown area. What if a thief, in a desperate situation, hurts a passerby? Can you bear that responsibility?

Xia Jie said subconsciously,

"I………………………"

He spoke again.

"Are you really going to risk your life for this thief? You might even get punished. I don't think it's worth it,"

Xia Jie understood Cheng Hao's concerns at this point and nodded in agreement.

However, she still said with some reluctance,

"We can't just let this thief go, can we?"

Wu Mingcheng said with a smile,

"Cheng has worked at a local police station for many years and has a wealth of experience."

"A thief like this is definitely a repeat offender. He'll surely commit another crime in Jiulihe. Do you think he can get away?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Jie immediately realized what was going on and said...

"It turns out I misunderstood Master."

Wu Mingcheng spoke again,

"Perhaps it's because you're the old director's daughter, so he wanted to take good care of you."

She hopes to nurture you properly and wants you to figure these things out for yourself.”

Looking at the river, Xia Jie took a bite of her popsicle and suddenly felt much better. She also began to let go of the things that had happened that morning.

She said to Wu Mingcheng,

"Mingcheng, thank you for taking the time out of your get off work hours to comfort me,"

Wu Mingcheng waved his hand and said,

"We're friends, what's this? How are you? Are you hungry? I'll take you to get something to eat,"

Xia Jie smiled and nodded obediently, giving off a girlfriend-like vibe.

Wu Mingcheng finished his popsicle in three bites, got on his motorcycle, and put on his helmet.

Then, he gave Xia Jie a look and said,

"Come on, get in the car, I'll take you to eat something delicious, I'll definitely make you feast!"

So Xia Jie quickly put on her helmet, sat on the back of the motorcycle, and put her arm around Wu Mingcheng's waist.

To be honest, Xia Jie was the first girl who had ever been so close to me.

This left Wu Mingcheng somewhat bewildered; the motorcycle hadn't even taken two steps before it stalled.

Xia Jie was also pulled forward, her body touching Wu Mingcheng's back.

This left both of them feeling awkward.

It was Wu Mingcheng who spoke first, easing the awkwardness. He apologized,

"Xiao Jie, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to,"

If Wu Mingcheng looked back, he would see that Xia Jie's face was slightly flushed.

She said shyly,

"fine,"

Wu Mingcheng quickly started his motorcycle again and headed towards a food stall.
