Chapter 139 Waiting (2)

Director Li's words gave Sun Liang a lot of comfort.

He finally figured it out. When following clues yielded no results, he might as well give himself a break and relax his body and mind.

Sun Liang hadn't rested in recent days, working on this case, even weekends. His girlfriend, Xiaoli, had called him and complained. Although she understood Sun Liang as a colleague, she still felt a little unhappy about not seeing him for so long.

"Xiaoli, what are you doing?" Sun Liang thought of this and sent a WeChat message to Xiaoli.

"Finally you thought of me! Workaholic..." Xiaoli replied to Sun Liang's WeChat message in seconds and sent him a smiley face.

"I'd like to invite you to dinner tonight. Do you have time?" Sun Liang quickly sent another WeChat message.

"Of course. As long as Captain Sun is free." Xiaoli replied to Sun Liang in seconds.

The sending and receiving of several messages stirred up ripples of happiness in Sun Liang's heart.

The pretty face of his girlfriend Xiaoli has already appeared in Sun Liang's mind, clear and tangible...

When he got off work in the afternoon, Sun Liang changed into a light yellow jacket. Before leaving, he carefully combed his hair in front of the bathroom mirror.

He discovered that he hadn't shaved for a long time, and his temples had grown...

Alas. Since there were no razors at work, he had no choice but to make do with his appearance.

Arriving at the agreed fine dining restaurant, he saw Xiaoli already seated at a table by the window, her slender arm waving at him. Sun Liang's heart warmed, and he walked towards Xiaoli.

Xiaoli's father was a drug enforcement officer. However, when Xiaoli was three years old, he was shot and killed while pursuing drug dealers in a remote border area.

Xiaoli's mother, a doctor, raised her single-handedly, hoping her daughter would inherit her career as a doctor. However, Xiaoli was determined to become a police officer... So, she applied to the Police College and is now a first-year graduate student.

"My daughter, nowadays, police investigations cannot be separated from psychological analysis. This major is more suitable for girls. I think you should choose this major."

When applying for graduate school, Xiaoli listened to her mother's advice and chose the major of applied psychology.

"Xiaoli, you came so early." When Sun Liang saw Xiaoli, the corners of his mouth rose and his face was shining.

"Sun Liang, I finally see you. You seem to have lost weight recently." Xiaoli looked at Sun Liang and couldn't help feeling a little distressed.

"I think of you." Sun Liang said mischievously.

"Hehe, it's good enough that you haven't forgotten me completely." Xiaoli.

After a while of greetings, they started talking about Xiaoli's mother.

"How is your mother's health recently?" Sun Liang asked.

"Well, it's the same as before. She wants to retire early." Xiaoli.

Over the years, her mother single-handedly raised her, and she was filled with gratitude towards her mother.

"It's good this way. Being an obstetrician and gynecologist is very hard work." Sun Liang.

"Are your parents okay?" Xiaoli asked.

"Oh, my dad is always eighteen. I don't know where he gets all that energy from, he's always out solving cases and giving lectures... My mom's health isn't so good." Sun Liang hadn't spoken to his parents on the phone for a long time. He couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

Sun Liang's father was a renowned detective, and many sought his help in solving cases. Naturally, he had less time to rest. His father was in his fifties, but he had always maintained a youthful spirit. Back home, whenever he and his father went out together, people would mistake them for brothers.

"How about I take you back to our house to visit my parents this week, okay?" Sun Liang.

I encountered some resistance in my investigation. I decided to go home and discuss it with my father, maybe that would open up some new avenues for me.

A thought suddenly appeared in Sun Liang's mind.
