Daddy Always Gets Jealous

”You could have taken them away long ago! Instead, you made me suffer here all night, watching over two women sleeping!”

”Don’t you know there’s a shortage of ladies at the police station?”

”Isn’t this enticing a public servant to violate discipline?”

”Lucky for him, he has good professional ethics!”

Glancing at Wen Nuan, he thought this girl was quite adorable. The duty officer, with a serious expression, spoke, ”You, what’s your name again?”

Wen Nuan pointed to her own nose, ”Me?”

”Yes, you.”

”My name is Wen Nuan.”

The duty officer looked at Wen Nuan and remembered her name, ”Leave your contact information; we’ll call you if there’s any new development in the case.”

Wen Nuan responded with an ”Oh” and left her mobile number.

The duty officer entered it directly into his phone.

Qin Shaojin stood aside watching. Watching people sleep and getting fond of them? This was the most incredible pick-up strategy he had seen in history. He might consider it for future reference.

Wen Nuan stood up, straightened her clothes, and looking at the duty officer, couldn’t help but ask, ”How is... how is the taxi driver?”

Standing there, she could hear her own teeth starting to chatter.

The duty officer looked at Wen Nuan, ”The injuries were too severe, he didn’t make it. We’ve already contacted his family.”

Wen Nuan turned to Che Huan and hugged her arm tightly.

Che Huan stood there, struggling to breathe for a long time. If it really was because of her, then the taxi driver’s death was a terrible injustice!

She took a deep breath, but still felt oxygen-starved!

This was the first time she had witnessed life and death up close, and there was an indescribable shock in her heart.

”Let’s go.”

Hearing Qin Shaojin’s voice, she came back to her senses and followed his pace.

Wen Nuan followed Che Huan closely, leaving the Public Security Bureau. It was already late into the night! Thinking of the sight of the taxi driver’s face covered in blood that she saw during the day, she felt scared and leaned closer to Che Huan.

Qin Shaojin looked back and asked, ”Do you watch horror movies often?”

”...”

Wen Nuan glared at Qin Shaojin, her mind suddenly filled with all the horror movies she usually watched. She really wanted to rush up to him and tear him to pieces. In the middle of the night, could he not bring up such a creepy subject!

Qin Shaojin looked at Che Huan, ”Where to?”

Che Huan wanted to ask if it was Huo Jinnan who had sent him, staring at Qin Shaojin, unsure of how to broach the subject.

”If you want to give thanks, thank my uncle.”

Qin Shaojin glanced sideways, not mentioning Brother Huo.

A trace of disappointment flickered through Che Huan’s heart, ”To Nuannuan’s house.”

Qin Shaojin opened the car door.

Wen Nuan and Che Huan got in the car, sitting quietly in the back.

They hadn’t been seated long before they both fell asleep in the backseat, having not slept well for several days.

Arriving at the Wen Family’s building, Qin Shaojin sat in the driver’s seat.

He looked back for a while, then called Huo Jinnan, ”Brother Huo, it looks like your sister-in-law hasn’t slept well for several days. She slept for a few hours at the police station, and now she’s fallen asleep in my car again.”

”How much is your car worth?”

”...”

Qin Shaojin hung up the phone and pressed the horn to honk.

After the day’s events, both were in light sleep and were quickly startled awake.

Che Huan looked at Qin Shaojin and apologized, ”Sorry,” before she and Wen Nuan hurriedly got out of the car.

Upon entering the door, they saw Wen Hua and Bi Fu anxiously waiting in the living room.

Bi Fu let out a sigh of relief, ”Finally, you’re back!”

Only after Bi Fu spoke did Che Huan and Wen Nuan realize that the taxi they had taken in the morning was involved in a pile-up, causing four fatalities and seven serious injuries!

Seeing Che Huan’s pained expression, Wen Hua gave Bi Fu a look.

Bi Fu quickly caught on and cut off the topic, ”I’ve prepared some hot water. You two go take a bath and rest early.”
