Since the human traffickers were arrested, Kong Boxue and his department had been writing articles for half a month straight, and they finally had a little free time this month.
Zhang Shu finally relaxed completely and stopped worrying. Her parents also felt that there was nothing serious, so they started urging her to get married again. Zhang Shu then became rebellious again and wanted to move out once more.
That afternoon, the three of them got off work together and agreed to go to the night market for barbecue skewers.
The two of them ate one skewer at a time.
Kong Boxue advised her: "Why don't you find someone upstairs or downstairs, or even just across the street, so that you're not too far from your parents? That way, if something happens to you, your parents can help you out."
Song Rongrong hummed in agreement, swallowed the beef, and said to Zhang Shu, "Or it can be just across the street, but not too far."
Zhang Shu sighed, "Once people retire, they should find something to do. Why keep staring at me? What do you mean by saying that their mission is complete now that I'm married? Who gave them that mission? And who are they doing it for? Do they expect to walk around with the words 'mission accomplished' on their heads? Otherwise, people won't look at them differently."
Song Rongrong chuckled, "I think you could be a TV host."
Zhang Shu's eyes widened. "You're right! I'll go do the night shift show so that my parents' rest time isn't with me. They'll think I don't have any time left."
Song Rongrong quickly said, "No, no, no, I was just joking with you. You're doing so well now, but it's inconvenient to rest during the evening program. If this continues, your body won't be able to take it."
Kong Boxue nodded, "You should forget about it. Don't believe everything you hear."
Zhang Shu rolled her eyes dramatically. "Get out!"
Kong Boxue muttered to himself, "Like a dog biting Lü Dongbin, not recognizing a kind heart."
Song Rongrong quickly changed the subject, asking, "Is there any follow-up to the Lion Town incident? Have any accomplices been caught?"
Some time ago, several newspapers, including the Capital Evening News and the Capital Daily, sent reporters to investigate the area.
Kong Boxue shook his head, "I don't know what the situation is with the police, but we reporters haven't found anything out."
Zhang Shu's eyes widened slightly. "Rongrong, are your third brother and his girlfriend in danger? Are they going to be retaliated against? You, you, you... don't be angry, I'm just trying to be helpful."
Song Rongrong: "My uncle reminded my third brother that Officer Wang is not my third brother's girlfriend, and they haven't officially started dating yet."
"It's not confirmed yet. I saw in the newspaper that they stumbled upon the case while they were out having fun together."
Song Rongrong: "I don't know either, I don't understand. My third brother doesn't live with us."
Kong Boxue said to Zhang Shu, "Why are you always so gossipy?"
"Mind your own business! Comrade Kong Boxue, it's after get off work hours now, so leave our conversation alone."
Kong Boxue: "..."
Song Rongrong couldn't help but laugh.
Meanwhile, Song Anmin had just been dismissed from his post.
He was only a freshman, and he had a ton of classes. He had been in class all day, and his head was throbbing with pain. Thinking about his appointment with Wang Ya, Song Anmin quickened his pace.
Tonight, Song Anmin has another big task to accomplish.
He walked briskly to the police station.
Just then, Officer Zhao came out to get hot water. When he saw Song Anmin, he exclaimed, "Isn't this our VVVVip? What brings you here again? Are you going to call the police again?"
Song Anmin coughed lightly, "No, I have something to say to Wang Ya."
Officer Zhao: "Oh, is something the matter? What is it? Would you mind telling us?"
Song Anmin: "...It's not very convenient."
A police officer on duty in the lobby poked his head out and looked over with a gossipy smile.
Song Anmin decided that keeping quiet was the best course of action.
Wang Ya also finished her shift and changed her clothes before coming out. "Master, I'm leaving now."
Officer Zhao, holding a glass that had just been filled with water, said, "Go on, go on."
Little brat, do you really think he doesn't know what those two are up to?
Song Anmin decided to treat Wang Ya to dinner today, to hot pot near the university town.
"I heard it from my classmate; apparently, it tastes very authentic."
Wang Ya: "There won't be many people, will there?"
Song Anmin glanced at the time. "I told the owner before I came that I'd reserved a table for you, so I guarantee you'll get a table."
Wang Ya smiled, but couldn't help but scoff, "It's like you're not eating."
Song Anmin smiled and said, "Let's eat, let's go."
The hot pot restaurant was crowded, but there were still two or three tables not full.
Song Anmin and the others were sitting by the window.
The two got along much the same way as before. Song Anmin complained about things at school and talked about some funny things, while Wang Ya complained about the bizarre cases she encountered while on duty during the day.
While Wang Ya was speaking, Song Anmin served her a lot of meat. By the end, neither of them could eat anymore.
"Song Anmin, you insisted on ordering the beef, so you can have it."
"No way, you ate all the potatoes you ordered."
"There's also pork belly, you can have some..."
We started eating the food in the pot, one for each of us.
After Song Anmin finished eating and paid the bill, the two of them walked back, both holding their stomachs.
Song Anmin was about to ask, "Are you going home or back to the station tonight—"
Before the words had even finished,
Suddenly a middle-aged man appeared in front of them.
The middle-aged man pointed a trembling finger at Wang Ya, his face extremely ugly, as if Wang Ya had committed some heinous crime.
Song Anmin sensed something was wrong, pulled the pale-faced Wang Ya back, and said to the middle-aged man, "Who are you? Officer Wang has already gone off duty. If you have something to say, go to the police station tomorrow!"
The middle-aged man looked at Song Anmin and suddenly roared, "Who are you to her?"
Song Anmin's temper flared up as well. "Who do you think you are? Don't you have any manners? Making a scene in public! This is a place with people coming and going, not your home!"
Wang Ya tugged at Song Anmin's hand. "Song Anmin, stop talking. This is me."
“Your dad… what? Your dad?” Song Anmin’s expression changed drastically. He looked at the middle-aged man, rubbing his hands together and laughing awkwardly. “It’s Uncle Wang. Oh, I thought it was the person who reported the case during the day. I’m so sorry.”
Wang Ya pulled Song Anmin aside and looked at Wang Chang, "What are you going to do?"
Song Anmin glanced at Wang Ya with some unease, then remembered what she had said before, and his heart pounded with anxiety.
Wang Chang sneered, "Wang Ya, you truly are your mother's daughter! Staying out all night instead of coming home, fooling around with other men, and then having another illegitimate child! You're disgracing the Wang family. Since you've taken my surname, you'd better behave yourself!"
Wang Ya stared at Wang Chang and said, "What I do is none of your business, and who I associate with is none of your concern. Even if you treat me like your daughter, I have no reason to acknowledge you as my father!"
Song Anmin frowned even more deeply.
Wang Chang said "good" three times in a row and raised his hand to wave at Wang Ya.
Wang Ya immediately stepped aside and pulled Song Anmin back a step.
"Wang Chang, you're a lunatic! A madman! I must have been incredibly unlucky to be born into your family. With parents like you, if I had a choice, I'd rather live in an orphanage!"
After saying that, Wang Ya grabbed Song Anmin and ran away!
Wang Chang was left standing there, furious.
