"Don't worry about that. I've already privately told Mr. Liang to tell him that you and your daughter need care and to visit you often."
If your mom talks about him, you can subtly hint at it from the sidelines, but don't be too direct.
"With your mother being such a virtuous and chaste woman, if we were to expose her true colors, she could weld the hole shut with steel bars. Then there's nothing we, mother and son, can do."
Xia Jie smiled, shook her head, and said...
"Auntie, with your personality, I don't know how you managed to raise a sister like my mom,"
Upon hearing Xia Jie mention this, the aunt waved her hand and said,
"Hey, back then your family spoiled your mom like a princess, and as a result, she developed princess syndrome."
By the way, your cousin's family bought a house in Dali. I'm going to spend the winter there.
I heard from Mr. Liang that his company has set up an office in Dali and they want to send him there.
"At that time, I'll ask your mother to come and keep me company, which will also create an opportunity for them."
Xia Jie said worriedly,
"I'm just worried that my mom won't know her place and will cause trouble for your family, Auntie."
Upon hearing Xia Jie's words, the aunt couldn't help but admire how sensible Xia Jie was.
"It's okay, your cousins aren't going, it's just me and your uncle."
It's a two-bedroom apartment, with one room for your mother. Now that she's gone, you can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Xia Jie smiled sadly at her aunt.
"Thank you, Auntie,"
Perhaps sensing that Xia Jie was a little down, her aunt hugged her and said,
"Xiaojie, I heard you've been assigned to the police station your dad used to work at."
If you really feel too much pressure, just suggest changing locations; the bureau can't possibly refuse.
Hearing her aunt's words, Xia Jie's eyes reddened.
"Auntie, even though you're my aunt and we don't see each other often, you understand me better than my mom,"
My aunt felt bad hearing this.
"Good child, you've worked so hard all these years,"
At 11:30 p.m., Wu Mingcheng and Li Dawei rushed to Grandma Li's house.
Because it was too late, Wu Mingcheng and his companion didn't invite Chen Xincheng to come along.
Wu Mingcheng raised his wrist to check the time and said to Grandma Li,
"Grandma Li, it's alright. You can go to sleep as soon as you need to. We'll stay in the living room and watch over you, so don't worry."
Li Dawei found a chair and sat directly at the bedroom door, looking wary.
"I'll be guarding your bedroom door,"
Seeing Li Dawei sitting so casually at the bedroom door, staring wide-eyed and observing his surroundings, looking as if he were seeing enemies everywhere,
Wu Mingcheng shook his head, sat down on the sofa, and didn't take it seriously at all.
He didn't believe there was any female ghost on May 5.6th at all; it must have been someone playing pranks or something they had overlooked.
Suddenly, the time reached twelve o'clock, and a woman's voice rang out, perfectly on time.
"I have a dream behind me, but I wonder with whom I can share it..."
The sudden singing startled them both.
Grandma Li heard the noise too, and came out of the bedroom, her face filled with fear.
"Listen, listen, I wasn't lying, was I?"
Wu Mingcheng quickly followed the sound, heading towards its source, and arrived near the computer desk.
Li Dawei was protecting Grandma Li.
"Shh, don't be afraid, let's see what's making the sound."
Chapter 457 Li Dawei Makes Another Mistake
Wu Mingcheng was certain the sound was coming from the computer desk, but not from the speakers.
So he started searching around the computer desk repeatedly.
Suddenly, the sound stopped abruptly, and all clues vanished.
Grandma Li was on the verge of a breakdown. She thought to herself, even the police couldn't help; this female ghost was truly impossible to catch.
She said in a panic,
"It really is a ghost, you heard it, right? I wasn't lying to you, was I? What are we going to do now?"
Seeing Grandma Li's terrified expression, Wu Mingcheng quickly comforted her.
"Grandma Li, we're still here. Don't be afraid, there are several of us to protect you."
I heard that sound too, but it definitely wasn't the voice of a female ghost; it must have been coming from some electronic device.
Grandma Li felt much more at ease after hearing Wu Mingcheng's words.
At this moment, Wu Mingcheng noticed something that looked like it was tucked inside a stack of books on the computer desk.
After he moved the books aside, he discovered an old-fashioned calculator sandwiched between the two books.
The calculator's display screen has a small alarm clock icon.
He couldn't help but chuckle at that moment; it must have been this thing making the sound.
No wonder they couldn't find it. Who would have thought that the truly terrifying female ghost's voice came from such a small gadget as this computer?
He fiddled with the calculator for a while, setting the time to a few minutes earlier.
Suddenly, the woman's voice came again.
"I have a dream behind the curtain..."
At this moment, Grandma Li was terrified. Had the female ghost returned?
Wu Mingcheng, holding a calculator, walked up to Grandma Li and explained with a smile.
"We've finally found it, Grandma! Look, the singing is coming from this calculator!"
With suspicion, Grandma Li moved closer and discovered that the sound was indeed coming from the calculator.
She immediately felt completely relaxed.
"Yes, that's it! Oh, thank you so much! I can finally get a good night's sleep. Turns out, it was just music from the computer."
Wu Mingcheng waved his hand and said,
"It's alright, it's what we should do. I'll turn off the alarm clock for you."
Be careful not to press this button next time; it's for setting the alarm.
Grandma Li nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, okay, thank you so much, you've really worked hard."
Li Dawei also said.
"It's alright, we'll be going now. It's very late, you should get some rest."
The next day, Wu Mingcheng and his two colleagues arrived at a commercial street to respond to a police call.
Unsurprisingly, Li Dawei made another big mistake, drawing fierce criticism from Chen Xincheng.
Chen Xincheng came out of a small shop on the commercial street and said angrily to Li Dawei,
"Li Dawei, when are you going to get rid of this self-righteous bad habit of yours?"
"You're always following Mingcheng around like a shadow, when will you ever improve?"
Li Dawei said in a low voice.
"Didn't Master praise me a few days ago? Besides, what did I do wrong today?"
Chen Xincheng asked helplessly,
"Who told you they were embezzling? Who gave you permission to use technical means to collect fingerprints?"
Li Dawei said indignantly.
"Isn't this obvious?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Xincheng immediately became furious.
"Do you have any evidence? How is it so obvious?"
Li Dawei argued that
"I only said I was collecting fingerprints because there was no evidence,"
Chen Xincheng was furious and pointed at Li Dawei, saying...
"Li Dawei, you're truly a hopeless case. You've wasted all this time working for me."
