Chapter 564: A Lost Xia Xue
Translator: VinceStar Editor: PrisMiko
How would Xia Xue know the stakes in this case? She thought that she had made a great contribution, but she didn’t expect to be scolded instead. She was aggrieved. “If we don’t catch him, are we leaving him there?”
“Xia Xue! When can you be more mature? Can you understand the big picture?” Chen Fei shook his head and said, “He is just a small character, and the boss behind-the-scenes hasn’t appeared yet!”
“Captain Chen, I…” Xia Xue had a bucket of cold water poured on her by Chen Fei and immediately awoke by a lot. Indeed, her action at the time was too impulsive! Xia Xue didn’t ask for advice. She just took action on the corrupted custom official because of her eagerness to make a contribution. She really wanted to have an achievement because she was afraid that other people in the team would look down on her. She wanted to solve a big case, but she didn’t expect to ruin it instead.
“Okay, you don’t have to say anything anymore. You don’t have to be responsible for this matter anymore. Later on, hand over your gun and you’re suspended for a month. Go back and reflect on this deeply!” Chen Fei waved his hand and yelled.
“Captain Chen… I would definitely ask for advice the next time. Can you not suspend me…” When Xia Xue heard she was going to be suspended, she immediately became anxious.
“A suspension is already being tolerant to you. I wanted to transfer you to a lower level in the police station such as a household registry employee and the like!” Chen Fei said that and didn’t care about Xia Xue anymore. He turned and went out. As he left, he said, “Send your reflection paper to my desk later.”
“Yes…” Xia Xue didn’t dare to have any objections again. If she said anything more, she was afraid that she wouldn’t even be a criminal police officer.
Xia Xue was full of remorse. How can I be so stupid? Could it be that I’m really not suitable to be a criminal police officer! Just because I am a woman, do I need to work as someone like a clerk?
Resisting the urge to cry, Xia Xue finished her reflection paper and then handed her gun and inspection tools to Chen Fei. She walked out of the police station with her head lowered.
Looking at the familiar office building behind her, Xia Xue finally couldn’t hold the tears streaming down her face.
” Di di. ..” There was a sound of a car horn behind Xia Xue.
“Stop it!” Xia Xue immediately started scolding impatiently, “There are so many roads and yet you don’t want to drive on those but insist on staying behind your grandmother [1]?” As she said this, she wanted to scold the driver who was behind her, but she closed her mouth immediately.
“Second Uncle…” Xia Xue looked at the taxi behind her with a stupid look.
“My dumb niece, why are you crying? Who bullied you?” Xia Zhidong stopped the car, jumped out of the cab and quickly ran to Xia Xue.
“Second Uncle… I’m fine…” Xia Xue quickly wiped the tears on her face with her hands, but her red swollen eyes couldn’t deceive anyone.
“Child, what are you saying? You are obviously crying and yet you still say it was nothing!” Xia Zhidong shook his head and said, “Hurry up and get into the car. It’s windy here. Later it will blow in your eyes and make them even more swollen!”
This time around Xia Xue did not persist. Instead, she followed Xia Zhidong in the direction of the car.
“Hey, you’re not allowed to park here. What’s the matter with you? Hurry up and drive away!” A traffic policeman just came over here and shouted at Xia Zhidong, “If you’re not leaving, I’ll be issuing a ticket now!”
“What are you being noisy for?!” Xia Xue wasn’t in a good mood. At this time, when some other people created more noise, she yelled back immediately, dissatisfied.
There were very few police officers in Song Jiang who didn’t recognize Xia Xue. One was because of Xia Xue’s t.i.tle of the female Tyrannosaurus was very famous. The second was that she was the only criminal police officer in Song Jiang who had been transferred from the criminal police team to the traffic police team to reflect on her behavior.
How could these traffic policemen not know her? The moment he saw Xia Xue, he immediately closed his mouth. He said in his heart, Who provoked the female Tyrannosaurus again? I should speak to her less, or else, it can’t be good to be beaten by her.
Xia Zhidong just wanted to explain it, but when he saw how his niece could chase away his most feared traffic police with a few words, he couldn’t help but be dumbfounded. This niece is really a bada**!
After they got into the car, Xia Xue still had a look of “don’t provoke me.” Xia Zhidong was helpless. “I say, niece, what happened? Is there anything at your job that didn’t go your way, or was someone bullying you?”
“Second Uncle, you should stop asking. It’s nothing…” Xia Xue shook her head. To be suspended was a really shameful thing. Xia Xue was embarra.s.sed to say it.
” Ai! I also don’t know what you are doing it for. It’s not that the situation in our family is bad. There is no shortage of money at all. Think about it. As a girl why do you want to become a criminal police officer? This is the work for a man. Why do you want to b.u.t.t in?” Xia Zhidong shook his head. “Listen to your Second Uncle. Don’t do this anymore. Resign and let your dad introduce you to a good partner. Get married after dating for a few years. How good would it be to meet your husband and educate your children at home?!”
“Second Uncle… You are right…” Xia Xue nodded slowly. Just as Xia Zhidong was feeling some joy, he heard Xia Xue’s reply. “Why do you have to drive a taxi? Isn’t it good enough to go to my dad’s company to help out? Why do you have to work so hard?”
Xia Zhidong was speechless from Xia Xue’s words. He only hated that he had talked too much just now. This was like lifting a rock to drop it on his own feet! Xia Zhidong reluctantly said, “Your uncle has no business mindset. I’m not willing to think about those things in business. If you let me manage your dad’s company, it won’t even last for two and a half days! Don’t you know your Second Uncle? I only know how to offer my physical strength. I don’t know about other things. If you let me go to become your dad’s driver, wouldn’t the others be laughing at your father? The younger brother of the chairman is a driver. It can’t be good for others to hear it!”
“Yeah, Second Uncle. Since that is the case, you should stop persuading me! Becoming a criminal police officer is my childhood dream. I want to be a criminal policewoman who can solve the big cases, not trash like right now!” Xia Xue nodded and spoke.
“Trash? How are you trash? Who dares to say that my niece is trash?” Xia Zhidong said quickly, “Who said it? Your Second Uncle will go and beat him up!”
“Second Uncle!” Xia Xue felt so angry yet it was funny. “You stop fooling around with this. I’m really fine. It’s just that I messed up some things at work. Captain Chen told me to go back and reflect on it!”
“Messed up? Which newcomers don’t make mistakes? Think openly a little more. Let Second Uncle take you home.” Xia Zhidong shook his head, and he didn’t ask more about Xia Xue’s work.
After getting out of the car, Xia Xue didn’t go home directly. Instead, she went into the Blue Fish Bar. She wasn’t in a good mood today. She wanted to get thoroughly drunk. Drinking alone didn’t mean anything. Xia Xue wanted to find someone to accompany her, but when she took out her phone and looked at the contact list, she suddenly had an urge to cry.
Over the past years, Xia Xue had almost cut off all her previous friends and had devoted herself to the work. Usually, except for work, she was just working. She didn’t even have one friend with whom she would have fun.
Looking at the contact list on the phone, other than her colleagues, it was her family. Xia Xue shook her head helplessly…
Yang Ming? Xia Xue suddenly saw a name on the phone, and her heart suddenly moved. He would come and accompany me, right? The last time it was he who accompanied me to drink. This kid can be quite good sometimes!
Thinking of this, Xia Xue called Yang Ming’s phone.
Yang Ming was at home looking at the medicinal voodoo book that Lan Ling had left for him. When the phone rang, he picked it up. “h.e.l.lo?”
“Yang Ming… This is Xia Xue…” Xia Xue greeted.
“Xia Xue? Why are you looking for me?” Yang Ming felt very puzzled. Ever since he last drank with Xia Xue, he hadn’t met her. It had been a long time already. He didn’t know why Xia Xue was looking for him.
“You come over. Buy me a drink,” Xia Xue spoke as if she was giving instructions.
“Me? Buy you a drink? Now?” Yang Ming couldn’t help but frown. Isn’t this woman too overbearing? I have seen unreasonable people before, but I have never seen someone as unreasonable as her!
“Yes, now. I am at the Blue Fish Bar. You come right now!” Xia Xue ordered.
“I say, have you made a mistake? If you ask me to go, then I would go now? Let’s not speak about whether or not I have anything to do here first. Your att.i.tude is very problematic. You’re asking me to go over and buy you a drink? Are you out of your mind?” Yang Ming was angry.
“Yang Ming, you promised to be my long term meal ticket. Right. Are you regretting it now? How many times have you bought me a meal?” Xia Xue was very reluctant.
Yang Ming slapped his head. I have really forgotten about this. However, what’s said cannot be taken back. Being a man, I shall not be too calculative with her. So, he said, “I can buy you a drink. However, next time can you please make an appointment in advance?”
“Yang Ming! Are you done? Your grandmother [1], I, am in a bad mood. To let you accompany me is a form of glory to you. It means that I’m treating you as a good buddy. If you still have so many excuses, then forget it. Just don’t come!” She hung up the phone as she finished her words.
“Inexplicable!” Yang Ming looked at the phone that was hung up and felt his anger raging. Who are you pretending to be? I might as well not go! After putting the phone aside, Yang Ming continued to look at the book of voodoo.
