Reborn with the ability to read minds, I became a heartthrob.

Zhou Liwan, sitting in the car, leaned quietly against the window without saying a word.

The old house was not close to the police station, and Zhou Liwan just stared blankly at the scenery along the way.

The phone rang for ages; if Mr. Wang hadn't reminded her, she probably wouldn't have woken up for much longer.

"Hey, what's up?" Seeing that it was Zhou Jianguo, Zhou Liwan didn't bother to be polite and spoke coldly.

The voice on the other end seemed to be simmering with rage: "Where did you go last night? Didn't you say you were bringing Grandma back? What do you mean by not showing up at all? Even your cousin came!"

Zhou Liwan casually rolled down the car window and took a breath of fresh air: "That Chaoxiong is back too? Why is he in such a hurry to come back and see his biological father? Should I call him cousin? Or uncle?"

This sarcastic tone provoked Zhou Jianguo to immediately yell, "Get back here right now!"

Zhou Liwan was too lazy to say anything more: "I have to go to work, I'm hanging up."

Before the other party could speak, Zhou Liwan hung up the phone.

Then close your eyes and rest.

The car quickly came to a stop in front of the police station. Zhou Liwan's eyes were still bruised from yesterday's events.

When Jiang Shiyue came to find her, she was lying on the table taking a nap.

"Paid time off to slack off?" A cynical voice rang out. Zhou Liwan glanced at it lazily and continued to lie on the table.

"You had a blast last night, are you here to catch up on sleep?"

Zhou Liwan was really annoyed, but because of the person in front of her, sleeping was out of the question. She could only sit up straight with a resentful expression and slump back in her chair: "What deep grudge do I have against you?"

Jiang Shiyue casually picked up a small ornament from the table, raising an arrogant eyebrow: "Why do you say that?"

Zhou Liwan snatched the thing from his hand and put it back arrogantly: "Knowing I'm so sleepy, you still have to come and disturb my peaceful sleep. You have no good intentions."

Jiang Shiyue chuckled and pinched the girl's nose, his smile tinged with helplessness: "Director Ma sent me to find you!"

Zhou Liwan looked at Jiang Shiyue in surprise, her sleepy eyes finally widening: "Why are you looking for me? I only slept for half an hour, does he really need to personally inquire about this?"

Jiang Shiyue stood up speechlessly: "The girl you comforted at the hospital last time, her family made you a banner and wanted to thank you in person."

Zhou Liwan breathed a sigh of relief and waved her hand dismissively: "For such a small matter, you can accept the people's gratitude on my behalf. I won't stand out."

Jiang Shiyue pulled the person up directly and said in a nonchalant tone, "I wouldn't dare. Do you know what that girl's background is?"

Zhou Liwan clung to Jiang Shiyue like a piece of mud that couldn't be propped up, and said weakly, "The Qing Dynasty has been gone for so long, do you think I'm afraid of her being a princess of a fallen country?"

Jiang Shiyue carefully protected the girl's soft waist, feeling helpless. She didn't treat him like a man at all, completely lacking any awareness of the proper separation between men and women.

"she···"

"Captain, Director Ma wants you to hurry up..." Hu Xi's face stiffened, and he immediately covered his eyes with his hands, stammering as he continued, "to make sure you're done quickly, so Commander Meng doesn't have to wait too long."

After saying that, she quickly fled the office, and when she sat down, her heart was still pounding.

Oh no, I just interrupted the boss and Sister Zhou's intimate moment. Will they kill me?

But then I thought, how can I keep this painful gossip to myself? I have to share it with everyone so we can all have a laugh!

Within ten minutes, everyone in the police station knew that Jiang Shiyue, the usually unruly playboy, had finally been won over by the new psychological counselor, Zhou Liwan.

In the office, Zhou Liwan, who had been looking dejected, straightened her clothes and stepped out of the office, immediately became energetic.

The two were completely unaware that the police department had already orchestrated an epic romance for them.

They walked towards the director's office on the fifth floor, chatting and laughing.

"Knock, knock, knock." Zhou Liwan knocked politely on the door. "Come in."

Zhou Liwan pushed open the door and entered. Standing next to Commander Meng, who was sitting upright, was a girl who gave her a shy smile.

Zhou Liwan seemed a little confused. She stared blankly at the old man and said, "Grandpa Meng, is it you?"

The old man seemed to be trying very hard to make his smile look less serious: "I came to thank you in person. If it weren't for your encouragement, I don't know how long it would have taken for Meng Xiang to be willing to tell us the truth."

Zhou Liwan was genuinely happy for Meng Xiang, whose injuries were almost healed: "Now that I've joined the police force, I naturally have to contribute to the people."

It was only then that Commander Meng gradually realized that the child Jiang Hongshan praised in front of them every day was truly outstanding.

"You look a lot like your mother."

Zhou Liwan paused, her smile freezing on her face. After a moment, she became somewhat anxious: "Grandpa Meng knows about what happened back then, right? I want to know what really happened to my mother back then! What exactly happened! Why is no one willing to tell me!"

Commander Meng did not expect that his words would excite Zhou Liwan so much. He hesitated for a long time but still could not tell her about what happened back then: "Since no one told you, it was for your own good. Knowing too much is not always a good thing."

Zhou Liwan was already impatient with these words, and regardless of whether the other party was someone who could make the government tremble with a stomp of their foot, she retorted with red eyes: "What do you mean by it being for my own good? Is it for my own good that I can never let go of my obsession for the rest of my life? Is it for my own good that I have to carry the guilt that my mother went missing because of me? I just want to know how my mother died, and why everyone is keeping it from me!"

After she finished speaking, tears streamed down her face as if a broken string had been cut, rushing out of her eyes.

Seeing her so vulnerable, everyone present felt sorry for her. Director Ma quickly stood up, walked to her side, and gently comforted her: "What happened back then was indeed strange. All the surveillance videos captured your mother's figure, but the next second she seemed to disappear into thin air."

Zhou Liwan struggled to control her sobs and asked tremblingly, "Then disappearing doesn't mean she's dead, so why does everyone say she died in Gouba Village?"

Commander Meng sighed and slowly explained, "Because a secret room was found in the village where you were trapped. It was full of bloodstains. After DNA confirmation, it was your mother's blood. According to normal blood loss, your mother couldn't possibly still be alive with that much blood. But no matter how the police and the army searched, they couldn't find your mother's body."

Zhou Liwan turned pale and took a few steps back in disbelief.

Right in the village?

In other words, his mother was actually very close to dying.

Maybe it was those human traffickers who discovered her and killed her to silence her.

"Mom, my mom..."

Director Ma called Jiang Shiyue and asked him to come over. The relationship between the two of them went beyond kinship, and perhaps only his presence could comfort Zhou Liwan.

Meng Xiang was a little sad. She had the ability to thank Zhou Liwan, but instead she had hurt her so much. She glared angrily at her grandfather and wanted to comfort Zhou Liwan, but she didn't know the situation and was afraid that it would backfire and rub salt into someone else's wounds.
