Chapter 293: Chapter 291: Return to the Bureau

After a few days without seeing each other, Yu Ningxue seemed to have lost quite some weight. Her beautiful, enchanting face was now filled with sorrow, quite different from the previous cold gaze.

A faint redness around her eyes silently spoke volumes.

As the most famous beauty in the Shanghai police force, Yu Ningxue naturally drew a lot of attention, with some even committing robberies just to turn themselves in and catch a glimpse of her.

Next to Yu Ningxue, at this moment, a man was captivated by her beauty, unable to take his eyes off her, his heart resonating with admiration.

This man was none other than Gong Xingteng, who had earlier had a confrontation with Xiao Tian on the plane!

Gong Xingteng was originally here for some gilding experience at the Binhai Headquarters. After disembarking, he was taken to the West Bureau to handle some procedures.

Upon arriving at the West Bureau, Gong Xingteng’s attention was immediately captured by Yu Ningxue. Being a man with a weakness for beauty, he had little resistance to beautiful women.

Moreover, the woman in question was such a stunning policewoman with fair legs. Just the thought of Yu Ningxue wearing a police uniform and being wild made Gong Xingteng’s heart race with excitement.

At the same time, Gong Xingteng marveled at the abundance of top beauties in Shanghai City. Surprisingly, within a single day, he had encountered two women who nearly overpowered his self-control!

”Haha, I’m gradually starting to like it here!” Gong Xingteng thought to himself, excited.

With a cheerful demeanor, he approached Yu Ningxue and introduced himself, ”Hello, I’m the new Deputy Commissioner. My name is Gong Xingteng.”

During his self-introduction, Gong Xingteng couldn’t help but proudly emphasize his position.

Yu Ningxue, lost in her thoughts, completely ignored Gong Xingteng. She merely nodded slightly, ”Hello, I’m Yu Ningxue.”

”Oh, I’ll just call you Ningxue from now on!” Gong Xingteng shamelessly attempted to cozy up to her upon hearing this.

Upon hearing this, Yu Ningxue turned her head to evaluate Gong Xingteng. Being so old and coming to be a Deputy Commissioner, wasn’t this just for gilding too?

Yu Ningxue clearly remembered the last time someone came to their bureau for gilding; it wasn’t anything decent, even working as an internal spy for others. Adding to her innate aversion to such people, Yu Ningxue had already internally discredited the man before her, Gong Xingteng. She shook her head coldly, saying, ”We barely know each other, isn’t that inappropriate?”

”He’s here!!”

At that moment, Yang He, standing at the door, spotted a taxi approaching and vaguely saw a familiar figure in the front passenger seat.

Xiao Tian!

The person that everyone at the police station door was waiting for was none other than Xiao Tian, whom they hadn’t seen in a long time. Instantly, many police officers turned their gaze towards the taxi, including Gong Xingteng, who wondered who this important person could be that so many officers were there to welcome.

For the West City Branch, Xiao Tian had undoubtedly become their hero. Representing the Shanghai police, Xiao Tian went abroad last time to participate in a joint operation, capturing countless members of a transnational fraud organization, making a remarkable impression. This brought pride to the Huaxia police, and upon learning of the achievement, even high-ranking municipal officials happily called to congratulate them. Bai Tao also represented the city bureau to commend both Yu Ningxue and the West Bureau. This made the West City Branch increasingly significant among the branches in Shanghai City.

Therefore, for Xiao Tian, both Yang He and all the police officers of the West City Branch admired him profoundly. Once they learned Xiao Tian might return to the bureau today, they went out to meet him.

Upon hearing Yang He’s shout, Yu Ningxue’s body trembled slightly.

Could it be him?

At the thought of the name ”Xiao Tian,” a hidden pain welled up in Yu Ningxue’s heart.

After all, she had endured enough torment over this period. She vividly remembered their time together in Japan—the fireworks festival, shopping, and various intimate moments. Looking back, it had become the happiest period of her life.

Yet, unexpectedly, Xiao Tian suddenly lost contact. No matter how Yu Ningxue inquired, those above seemed intentionally silent about anything concerning Xiao Tian.

Sensing the strange situation, Yu Ningxue’s heart felt hollowed out, desperately seeking news of Xiao Tian. However, she was shocked to find that Xiao Tian, who had once been beside her, seemed to have vanished into thin air, with absolutely no trace of him, as if he had never existed.

Eventually, Yu Ningxue finally learned from Bai Tao that something had happened to Xiao Tian in Japan. The military was conducting a rescue, but the hope was slim.

Upon receiving this news, Yu Ningxue felt as if her heart died as well.

In truth, she wasn’t as strong as she appeared on the outside; otherwise, she wouldn’t have spent countless sleepless nights crying herself to sleep. These days, she felt some regret.

Previously, when Xiao Tian was right in front of her, why hadn’t she been braver?

Although Yu Ningxue allowed Xiao Tian to embrace her, she knew that some words left unspoken might never find a chance to be voiced. Just as Yu Ningxue was planning to be honest with Xiao Tian once he returned to Shanghai, Xiao Tian encountered this situation.

Yu Ningxue was anxious, heart aching. That feeling took her breath away, making her chest heavy every time she thought of Xiao Tian, yet being far in Huaxia, she had no means to help.

So when Yang He suddenly announced yesterday with joy that Xiao Tian had returned from Japan and might return to the bureau within a few days, Yu Ningxue showed no expression.

It wasn’t that she wasn’t happy or excited; she was simply dumbfounded. Her mind buzzed, unable to think about anything. These two days passed in a daze for her, as the feeling of transitioning from hell to heaven was overwhelmingly shocking.

The taxi stopped under the watchful eyes of everyone, the door opened, and time seemed to freeze.

Then, Xiao Tian, wearing a blue short-sleeve, stepped out of the car. Despite not seeing him for a few months, Xiao Tian still looked the same, not particularly strong but exuding a masculine energy. Even his somewhat handsome face held a calmness beyond his years.

As the saying goes, there’s no leader who wouldn’t protect their own, and Xiao Tian’s deeds after coming to the West Bureau were witnessed directly by Yang He. Unknown numbers of brutal kidnappers were subdued, countless cases resolved that they could never solve. Despite Yang He’s not so high position, just being a branch director, he always treated Xiao Tian as his successor.

Therefore, after seeing Xiao Tian after so long, even Yang He, who rarely showed emotion, could not help but have red-rimmed eyes. He walked over and gave Xiao Tian’s shoulder a hearty slap, too excited to speak.

”You kid... you kid...!”

Standing at a distance, Gong Xingteng saw that the person was actually Xiao Tian, who had hit him on the plane earlier in the day. He was initially stunned, finding it unbelievable, and then his face turned sullen, with unknown thoughts running through his mind.
