Early the next morning, Chu Xiang and Pan Xin went to the police station to report the case, hoping to use the police force to find the man.
Despite his head injury, he used the attack he suffered the previous day as grounds for demanding that the police open a case and investigate.
He knew that Wang Feifei was involved in too many things, so during the statement taking process, Chu Xiang deliberately omitted other things and only focused on the head injury, saying that he wanted to find that person to compensate her.
However, fate always loves to play tricks, and there are always arrangements made in the dark.
The police officer who received them was Xu Huan!
Chu Xiang and Pan Xin did not recognize who the person in front of them was at first.
Pan Xin is a sucker for good looks, and with such a handsome policeman in front of her, she couldn't help but take a second look.
This one look, however, was fatal.
Pan Xin almost recognized him! Because he looked so much like Xu Huan from back then:
On his dark face with a slight stubble, one can still vaguely see the handsome features he once had.
He was taller and stronger than when he was a teenager, with sharp eyes and a powerful aura that made him even more attractive than he was in his youthful days.
When his gaze fell on Pan Xin, her heart raced for a moment...
No matter how much time passes, Xu Huan's attraction to Pan Xin will remain fatal.
But more than being attracted, she was afraid that Xu Huan would find out the truth...
As a result, Pan Xin became more and more suspicious and increasingly guilty.
Could this person be Xu Huan?
Chu Xiang noticed that something was wrong with Pan Xin. Just as he was about to ask her what was wrong, he saw a distant yet familiar expression on Pan Xin's face.
That was her youthful innocence and rare shyness.
He understood that expression all too well; it was this very sensitivity that allowed him to discover Pan Xin's secret years ago.
Chu Xiang had a bad feeling and cautiously glanced at the policeman in front of him.
At that moment, his heart trembled violently...
Could this policeman be Xu Huan?
A voice from afar interrupted him:
"Xiao Xu, finish your statement and come with me outside." An older police officer called out to him from a distance.
"Okay." Xu Huan quickly scribbled on the paper, and said to them when he was almost finished:
"You can go back after giving your statement. We'll notify you when we find this person, and you can come back to negotiate then."
Upon hearing "Xiao Xu," Chu Xiang panicked instantly and quickly made up an excuse to escape from the police station.
He and Pan Xin were still in shock when they walked out of the police station.
It feels unreal; the once-proud son of heaven has become a police officer.
"What if he recognizes us?" Chu Xiang was extremely nervous, and a million escape plans flashed through his mind.
Xu Huan's identity as a police officer was incredibly intimidating.
Pan Xin, however, was still captivated by that face that had stirred her heart in her youth:
"So he became a policeman..."
"Could this be related to Shen Yishu?"
Pan Xin's intuition was correct. After Shen Yishu committed suicide, Xu Huan almost went insane, took a three-year leave of absence from school, and was rescued from several suicide attempts.
In order to save his only son's life, his father told him that the real culprit had not yet been caught and that with the police resources available at the time, the hope of avenging Shen Yishu was slim.
After that, Xu Huan gave up his guaranteed admission to Tsinghua University, completely changed his life ideals, and resolved to become a policeman, sparing no effort to find the real culprit from back then.
With this belief, he resolutely entered the police academy, endured hardships and fought his way up, and officially became a people's police officer.
With his outstanding abilities and intelligence that easily surpasses that of ordinary people, he quickly stood out in the team.
But Xu Huan never dreamed that the real culprit from back then was the man he had been searching for for over a decade...
He was standing right in front of me!
Xu Huan only vaguely felt that his body was in a strange state; his temples were throbbing and his heart was clenching painfully.
He didn't pay much attention to it; it was probably because the case he was handling had kept him up for several nights without sleep, which caused his physical abnormalities.
He consoled himself, saying that perhaps he was just too tired.
Chu Xiang actually regretted it a little; he shouldn't have been so clever as to come and report it to the police.
What happened back then is a stain on his record. Xu Huan's identity as a police officer makes him uneasy, and he always feels that it is related to what happened back then.
He had no idea that he had once been such an insignificant nobody, that Xu Huan didn't even know him...
At noon on June 24, the weather suddenly turned cold. The temperature was 36 degrees Celsius in the morning, but suddenly dropped to 32 degrees Celsius at noon.
Wang Feifei's schedule for today is to install indoor planting equipment; the staff will arrive around noon.
Once the installation is complete, she will need to start purchasing vegetable seedlings. Breeding is troublesome, so buying seedlings directly will result in a higher survival rate.
The sudden drop in temperature in the afternoon alerted her, and she immediately checked the weather report. The official announcement stated that due to the influence of cold air from the north, the temperature in the city would drop to 30 degrees Celsius in the next few days.
30 degrees Celsius is still within the normal range; I guess I was just too nervous.
Countdown: 11 days
The time is getting closer and closer...
During the lunch break when there were fewer people, Chen Nian and his father were busy arranging goods.
My once spirited father has become an ordinary middle-aged man, often hunched over as he bustles around the supermarket, with a few gray hairs creeping up his temples.
Chen Nian wanted to help his father more, so he spent almost the entire day helping out at the supermarket.
Suddenly he felt a chill. What happened?
The temperature suddenly dropped out of nowhere.
He went to the main control room, turned off the air conditioning, and switched to ventilation. When he came out, he encountered a policeman.
He didn't expect them to come knocking on his door so quickly.
Because it was a common civil dispute, Xu Huan's expression was quite friendly as he asked:
"You must be Chen Nian? Did you injure someone yesterday? I'm here to ask you to come to the police station for questioning."
