Major Crimes Unit Starts with Police Academy Students

At this moment, Xia Jie stopped the waitress who was about to leave.

"Hello, may I take another look at your menu?"

The waitress immediately said,

"Of course,"

After saying that, she placed the menu in front of Xia Jie and then left for the kitchen.

After the waitress left, Xia Jie looked through the seafood that Wu Mingcheng had ordered and was immediately surprised.

She said to Wu Mingcheng,

"Mingcheng, this is way too expensive, and you ordered way too much, and everything is so pricey,"

Wu Mingcheng, not wanting Xia Jie to take it to heart, took the initiative to say,

"It's okay, I'll tell you a secret: I know the owner of this shop, and everything is at cost price."

The main thing is, I noticed you didn't eat much at the cafeteria at lunchtime.

You've been working hard all afternoon, you must be a little hungry, go back and eat more.

Hearing Wu Mingcheng's attention so focused on her, Xia Jie immediately fell silent and lowered her head shyly.

A short while later, the waitress came out carrying several takeout boxes.

Wu Mingcheng got up to go to the bar to pay the bill, and Xia Jie also stood up at this moment, saying,

"Mingcheng, let me pay this myself."

Wu Mingcheng pressed Xia Jie's shoulder and gently squeezed it, making her sit back down.

He said, with a slightly chauvinistic tone,

"Don't try to take it from me, I said I'll pay."

Xia Jie had no choice but to sit down and say,

"Oh, okay,"

After Wu Mingcheng went to the bar, the waitress said to Xia Jie enviously,

"Miss, your boyfriend treats you so well. I really envy you for having such a considerate boyfriend."

Upon hearing the waitress's words, Xia Jie's face flushed slightly, but she surprisingly didn't choose to argue.

The manager, who had been observing the two of them, saw Wu Mingcheng walk towards the bar alone, so he personally greeted him.

After Wu Mingcheng reached the bar, he began to speak.

"Hello, let's settle the bill."

The manager bowed and said,

"Hello, our General Manager Sun specifically called and instructed that as long as you come, your meal will be free."

After listening, Wu Mingcheng smiled slightly, then took out his phone and scanned a price he had estimated.

Then he said to the manager,

"Please thank Mr. Sun for me. I appreciate the favor, but I always have to pay for meals I eat out."

After saying that, he turned and left with Xia Jie.

After Wu Mingcheng and his group left on their motorcycles, the manager quickly called Fatty Sun.

"Hey, Mr. Sun, the person you mentioned is here. He's quite young and handsome."

He also brought a girl with him, packed some seafood, and before leaving, specifically asked me to thank you.”

Fatty Sun nodded in satisfaction.

"Okay, I got it. Remember, from now on, whenever he goes, you'll give me a free meal."

The manager then stammered,

"Um, um, Brother Sun, he paid."

Upon hearing this, Fatty Sun immediately launched into a tirade.

"No way, you can't even handle something this simple? What am I supposed to do with you?"

The manager quickly said,

"Brother Sun, it's not that I'm trying to take his money; he paid directly by scanning the QR code."

He also said that he never goes out to eat without paying, but he also said that he remembered your favor.

Hearing the manager's words, Fatty Sun finally calmed down and said, "5.6."

"okay, I get it,"

Wu Mingcheng escorted Xia Jie downstairs. He first removed the helmet from Xia Jie's head, then handed her several takeout boxes.

He said with a smile,

"When you get back, have a good talk with your aunt. I believe she will understand and support you."

Xia Jie nodded at him.

"Yes, don't worry, I will definitely sit down and have a good talk with my mom."

Wu Mingcheng then spoke up.

"Alright, I'll be going now. You go upstairs quickly."

After saying that, he waved to Xia Jie, then rode away on his motorcycle.

After watching Wu Mingcheng leave, Xia Jie also carried the takeout box upstairs.

Chapter 274 Xia Jie's Mother, Who Gives Xia Jie a Headache

What Xia Jie and Wu Mingcheng didn't notice was that a middle-aged woman was standing by the window upstairs, looking down. This scene was witnessed by the middle-aged woman.

She stood by the window and couldn't help but say.

"You brat, I knew it! No wonder you've been coming home later and later. You've got a boyfriend now?"

However, this young man looks really dashing; I have to be careful, handsome boys might be womanizers.”

Then, after seeing Xia Jie go upstairs, she quickly crawled into bed, pretending to be weak.

Xia Jie finally arrived at her doorstep, and for some reason, she felt a strange pressure.

She took a deep breath, carrying the takeout, before turning the key to open the door and going inside.

She walked into the house and found the lights were off, so she turned them on as she went.

At this moment, Xia's mother's weak voice came from the bedroom.

"Xiaojie is back,"

Upon hearing her mother's voice, Xia Jie immediately put down the takeout box she was holding and rushed into the bedroom.

16 “Mom, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell? I bought your favorite seafood.”

Xia's mother lay on the bed, shook her head, and said...

"I don't have much of an appetite either. Wang Shouyi already told me that I'm having a mission today."

And it's especially dangerous! Why are you always causing your mother so much worry?

Xia Jie then explained,

"Mom, it's just a simple dispute, not dangerous at all. Besides, everyone in our office went. How could I not go?"

Tears instantly streamed down Xia's mother's face as she said sadly,

"Since there are so many people here, why do we insist on having you go down?"

"I think it's just a case of people turning their backs on you after your father's death. They've been taking advantage of us, mother and daughter, who are all alone and helpless."

Then, Xia's mother's words became increasingly outrageous.

"I could tolerate Cheng Hao being your master, but how could Wang Shouyi push his luck?"

It's only my second day at work, and he's already sending you on such a dangerous mission?

Did Cheng Hao ask you to do it? I told you we shouldn't let him be your mentor.

If he had been even a little smarter when he was your father's apprentice, your father wouldn't have died.

Xia Jie was also deeply saddened to hear of her father's sacrifice, but she still told the truth.

"Mom, let's not talk about the past anymore, okay? What's the point of living in the past?"

Besides, the bureau has already reached a conclusion about Dad's matter, and it has nothing to do with Chief Cheng. You shouldn't dwell on these things."

Hearing her daughter's words, Xia's mother was speechless for a moment, then continued...

"That doesn't mean we can send a young woman like you down the well to rescue someone, with so many grown men watching?"

Xia Jie then explained,

"Mom, you don't understand the situation. That well was very narrow; only my body could fit down it."

Xia's mother remained stubborn, saying...
