Xia's mother spoke up.
"Your aunt is in Qingdao, and I don't need much money, so you should keep it."
Upon hearing this, Xia Jie said...
"Mom, even if you have Auntie, it's best not to trouble her. She's done so much for our family over the years."
Xia's mother glanced at her phone and said with slight surprise,
"You've only just started working, where did you get so much money?"
Xia Jie said with a smile,
"I just received my salary, and I don't need to spend much money. Meals at the police station are free, and uniforms are provided."
Even if you're poor, you should still bring your aunt (Zhao Nuohao) along when you go out. Don't let her spend money on you.
Hearing Xia Jie's words, Xia's mother was overcome with sadness and began to reminisce again.
"Sigh, back when your father was alive..."
Xia Jie quickly grabbed her hand, interrupting her mother's reminiscence.
"Mom, let's not talk about Dad. Aren't we doing fine, just the two of us? I'm here for you."
Xia's mother wiped away her tears and shook her head, saying...
"It's because of you that Mom is worried. Whether being a police officer is tiring or not is not a big deal."
Safety is what keeps me on my toes all the time. What if something happens to me?
Your desire to become a policeman is, in a way, your father's last wish. I can't stop you, and I can't prevent it anyway.
"But we can apply to the bureau to give you a quieter job, one that doesn't require overtime."
Chapter 391 Becoming One of the Best
Upon hearing this, Xia Jie felt a wave of helplessness. Oh no, here we go again. Didn't I say I had come to terms with it?
She said, head down.
"Mom, can we stop talking about this? Let's finish packing and get some rest. We'll have a long and tiring journey tomorrow."
Seeing Xia Jie's impatient look, Xia's mother sighed.
"Okay, if you don't like hearing it, I won't say it anymore. Saying it too much will only annoy you."
Actually, I've been conflicted too. You know, Mom hasn't worked for several years now.
If you stop being a police officer, won't our contact with the bureau be cut off?
So it's not that I'm not leaving the police force, it's just a change of job, you see...
Upon hearing her mother's increasingly absurd remarks, Xia Jie quickly stood up and interrupted her.
"Mom, it seems you really need to rest. You're exhausted. Go to sleep, we still have to travel tomorrow."
As she spoke, she forcefully pushed Xia's mother into the bedroom.
Xia Jie was planning to take her mother to the station in the morning tomorrow, but she decided to stay home and rest tonight.
She took out her phone, intending to tell Wu Mingcheng something, and sent him a message.
Over here, Wu Mingcheng, Li Dawei, Yang Shu, and Zhao Jiwei changed into their 797 uniforms and came out of the changing room.
Li Dawei looked around but couldn't find Xia Jie. He said curiously,
"Hey, Mingcheng, why haven't I seen Xia Jie leaving get off work? What's going on? She's not even eager to leave."
Wu Mingcheng said helplessly.
"I don't know either. She wasn't in the office when we left,"
Zhao Jiwei suddenly said at this moment,
"Hey, I think I saw Xia Jie and Chief Cheng drive out in a police car. They're probably going on patrol."
Yang Shu saw the police car parked in the yard and pointed in its direction.
"Jiwei, isn't that the car? It should have been back by now,"
Zhao Jiwei looked over and shook his head.
"I really don't know, I guess they're busy with other things."
Just then, Wu Mingcheng's phone vibrated a few times. He took it out of his pocket and saw that it was a message from Xia Jie.
He opened WeChat on his phone, read the message, and smiled slightly.
"Alright, Director Cheng has taken Xiaojie home. She'll be staying at home tonight; her mother has to go out."
Then, Li Dawei, Yang Shu, Zhao Jiwei, and the others suddenly realized what was going on.
Wu Mingcheng looked at the group of people and suddenly suggested,
"Hey guys, it's rare that Nv Tongzhi isn't here, how about I treat you all to drinks?"
We haven't even sat down together for a proper meal or drink. With Xia Jie here, we couldn't really relax."
Upon hearing Wu Mingcheng's suggestion, Li Dawei immediately agreed.
"Alright, if handsome Wu is going to bleed tonight, I'll definitely risk my life to keep him company."
Yang Shu also felt that Li Dawei, Wu Mingcheng, and their friends got along quite well, and nodded in agreement.
"Sure, but I'm not a big drinker,"
Li Dawei then quipped from the side.
"I see now, Dr. Yang's energy is all focused on his studies, isn't it, Dr.?"
Upon hearing that Li Dawei was joking with him again, Yang Shu gave Li Dawei a helpless look.
"Li Dawei, I'm going to get you!"
Zhao Jiwei hesitated at this moment. He always felt inferior in front of Wu Mingcheng and the others.
"Hey, Mingcheng, why don't you guys go? I'll just go back and cook some instant noodles."
Since the night Li Dawei was put in solitary confinement, he had developed a good relationship with Zhao Jiwei.
He went straight up and put his arm around Zhao Jiwei's shoulder.
"Alright, let's go together. Mingcheng said you don't have to pay,"
Wu Mingcheng also said with a smile,
"Jiwei, don't worry, it's my treat. It's fate that we brothers met, what would it be like without you?"
Yang Shu also advised,
“Yes, Jiwei, we’re comrades who fought side by side, let’s go together.”
Because of his family's financial situation, Zhao Jiwei had relatively few close friends when he was in police academy.
At this moment, Wu Mingcheng, Li Dawei, and the others made him feel a warmth from his friends and brothers.
He relaxed at this point and nodded, saying...
"Alright, then I'll just have to show you my drinking capacity."
Wu Mingcheng chuckled.
"Hahahaha, there's plenty of alcohol tonight, drink as much as you want, don't leave until you're drunk!"
After saying that, they walked out of the police station, chatting and laughing.
At this moment, two figures stood at the second-floor window: Wang Shouyi and Cheng Hao, who had just escorted Xia Jie home.
Cheng Hao watched this scene and said with a smile,
"Mingcheng is quite good at winning people over; he's already become one of Li Dawei and the others in no time,"
Wang Shouyi, watching from the side, said...
"He's quite similar to you in this respect; he's good at interpersonal relationships and has many friends."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Hao quickly waved his hand and said,
"Director, please don't praise me like that. Mingcheng is far more outstanding and capable than me."
Moreover, he's far superior to me in interpersonal skills. Those guys, including Li Dawei, should quickly take Mingcheng as their leader.”
Wang Shouyi burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha, but you're more experienced than him,"
The two sat back down on the sofa and started chatting.
Cheng Hao then asked,
"Chief, what's the status of the situation that Mingcheng and the others reported?"
Upon hearing Cheng Hao's question, Wang Shouyi replied,
“I have already reported this to Director Ma, and he takes it very seriously. His opinion is that we should first expose this protective umbrella above us, and then deal with the casino issue.”
Cheng Hao nodded after listening.
