This is no longer just a matter for the Jiulihe Police Station; it now involves the Municipal Public Security Bureau, which makes things a bit tricky.

He spoke to Wu Mingcheng and the others.

"This matter involves too many issues and requires careful consideration. You should keep the recording and go about your own business."

Also, remember, don't publicize this, keep it a secret, and don't tell anyone.

Wu Mingcheng and the others nodded in agreement.

"Yes, Chief, we understand."

Immediately, Wang Shouyi waved to them, signaling them to leave.

After they left, he decided to first report the situation to Ma Hongbin, the head of the municipal bureau.

So he picked up the phone and dialed Ma Hongbin.

Once the call connected, he began to report.

"Hello, Director Ma, I have something to report to you. Last night..."

After Wu Mingcheng and his group reported the incident, the police station remained silent for several days, and the group was treated as having engaged in fighting.

This made Li Dawei, Zhao Jiwei, Yang Shu, and the others restless, so they went to find Wu Mingcheng.

Upon seeing them, Wu Mingcheng asked curiously,

"Wow, you've got so many? What's up with 793? Something wrong?"

Li Dawei spoke first.

"Mingcheng, what happened to that matter we reported? Is it possible that the director didn't take it seriously?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Mingcheng realized it was about the underground casino. He shook his head and said...

"Don't worry, it won't happen. How could the director not take it seriously?"

Let's focus on doing our own jobs first; these things aren't something we should be worrying about.

The leaders definitely have their own plans and arrangements; when they need us, someone will naturally come to us.”

Hearing Wu Mingcheng's words, the group felt much more at ease.

Moreover, Yang Shu has been busy with Cao Jianjun dealing with Wang Jianguo and Wang Gang's affairs, and he's been too busy to get away.

The group went back to their own business and stopped thinking about it.

Chen Xincheng happened to return and saw this scene, and asked,

Why are all these people coming to see you? Is something wrong?

Wu Mingcheng chuckled.

"Uncle Chen, it's alright,"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xincheng didn't think much of it. He felt that Wu Mingcheng was definitely sensible, which reassured him.

Chapter 390 Has He Come to His Foresight?

That day, Xia Jie and Cheng Hao went on patrol together.

Xia Jie glanced back at Cheng Hao, and while driving, said seemingly casually,

"By the way, Master, the child of the prostitution suspect has been sent to an orphanage by community workers."

They wanted us to ask if the child had any other family members so they could make arrangements for them.”

Cheng Hao, sitting in the passenger seat, squinted and said,

"Okay, I'll ask Tongzhi at the bureau,"

Upon receiving Cheng Hao's response, Xia Jie immediately said happily,

"Okay, thank you, Master."

Cheng Hao glanced at her at this moment and asked,

"Xia Jie, did the community workers ask you to ask this?"

Xia Jie hesitated for a moment, then told the truth.

“It was my suggestion. If he has other relatives, it's always better for him to grow up with them.”

Upon hearing Xia Jie's answer, Cheng Hao closed his eyes again.

"Xia Jie, as someone who's been there, I have to remind you, when you're a police officer, don't let too much personal emotion get involved."

Xia Jie knew, of course, that Cheng Hao meant well, and nodded in agreement.

"Yes, I understand, Master."

Cheng Hao seemed to suddenly remember something, and changed his tone, asking again,

"Xiaojie, what's wrong? I heard you ran away from home?"

Needless to say, Xia Jie had already guessed that her mother must have called the police station again.

She gave a helpless, bitter smile and said,

"Who did my mom call this time?"

Cheng Hao remained noncommittal.

"The professor's wife is familiar with everyone in the institute,"

Hearing her mother still calling her superiors at the institute, Xia Jie finally made up her mind.

"If that's the case, I definitely won't go back. Anyway, I've already rented a place outside."

Seeing this, Cheng Hao gave a wry smile.

"Xiaojie, based on my understanding of your mother, you can't go against her."

There's really no need for that. Go back and talk to her, then move out openly and honestly. There's no need to make things awkward.

Hearing Cheng Hao's words, Xia Jie said with some confusion,

"I hope I can do something to help her change her mindset,"

Cheng Hao said with a smile,

"Your idea is good. When I was young, I was also very ambitious, thinking I could change this and that."

Now that I'm this old, I realize that I can't even change my own little flaws, let alone change others.

Xia Jie remained silent at this moment.

Cheng Hao raised his wrist, checked the time, and realized it was almost time to leave work.

He said,

"Come on, I'll take you home. You and your mother can have a good talk; there's nothing you can't resolve."

After saying that, Cheng Hao took Xia Jie home and then left.

After some internal struggle, Xia Jie finally mustered the courage to open the door at noon.

The living room was brightly lit, and Xia's mother was packing her luggage.

Xia Jie was taken aback and said in surprise,

"Mom? What are you doing? Are you going on a long trip?"

Xia's mother didn't look up when she heard Xia Jie's voice, and said calmly,

"Sigh, I think I'll go to your aunt's house instead, so I don't bother you with people."

Hearing her mother's words, Xia Jie felt very sad.

"Mom, I'm sorry, I was rude yesterday, please don't be angry with me,"

Xia's mother forced a smile at her.

"I've figured it out now. Your aunt is right. It's a problem I've been pondering all day long while I'm home alone."

You've grown up, you have your own plans and arrangements, and I'm still managing you according to my own ideas.

If you agree, you'll be upset; if you don't agree, I'll be upset. Neither will solve the problem, so I might as well go for a walk to clear my head.

Xia Jie was incredibly surprised. When did her mother become so open-minded? Had she finally come to her senses?

"Mom, is that really what you think?"

Xia's mother glanced at her.

"What else can I think?"

Seeing her mother's calm expression, Xia Jie finally felt relieved. She put down her bag and said...

"Mom, let me help you tidy up."

So, Xia's mother sat down to the side, watching Xia Jie run around the living room fetching things.

In fact, Xia Jie also plays the role of a mother in real life; Xia's mother is like a daughter to her.

After packing her things, Xia Jie picked up her phone and started using it.

"Mom, I transferred some money to your WeChat account so it'll be more convenient for you."
