CHAPTER 194: CHAPTER 192: CRIMINALS!!

Feeling those scars, Lin Bingxuan froze, her body trembling slightly. All the anger vanished instantly.

She knew Xiao Tian well. Xiao Tian was someone who always seemed to be laughing it off on the surface but silently endured countless wounds without letting others see it.

Before Xiao Tian left, he didn’t have these wounds on his chest; it’s hard to imagine what he went through in recent months.

"What... what happened to you?" Touching Xiao Tian’s scars, Lin Bingxuan’s tears fell directly, drop by drop, onto Xiao Tian’s chest.

Xiao Tian hugged Lin Bingxuan, stroking her hair, "Last time, I had compelling reasons to leave. You know, I once thought I was going to die, but then I suddenly thought of you all... That belief made me want to survive. It won’t happen again, I promise you."

"Hmm." Lin Bingxuan nodded, moved.

Those scars were real, telling the story of painful experiences. How could she not understand?

However, Lin Bingxuan quickly sensed something was off and asked, "Us? Who do you mean by us?"

Xiao Tian laughed awkwardly, scratching his head, "And my parents... hahaha."

After saying that, Xiao Tian’s inner desire had already flared up; these four months, to put it simply in three words: Held it in!

Xiao Tian smirked mischievously, "So, can I do what I like now?"

Lin Bingxuan’s face turned red, and she burrowed into Xiao Tian’s arms, whispering like a mosquito, "Who... who cares what you do."

"Hehe."

"You... you just like bullying me!"

The room was filled with romance, the process unnecessary for others to know.

------

The next day, when Xiao Tian woke up, the sun was already high in the sky.

A few snacks were placed on the table, seemingly prepared by Lin Bingxuan, who didn’t wake him because he seemed to be sleeping too soundly.

In fact, Xiao Tian hadn’t rested properly these past few months. Especially during the time in the rainforest, he spent most nights practicing the Iron Chain Cross River.

So last night’s sleep was the most restful he had in months.

Xiao Tian casually grabbed a few pastries, stuffed them in his mouth, and then hurriedly went out. After being away for months, he figured it was time to visit the station.

"I wonder how my gorgeous mentor has been doing lately, heavier or lighter?"

With that thought, Xiao Tian drove a silver R8 towards the police station. This car was a gift from Lin Bingxuan on his birthday. Although Lin Bingxuan had quite a few luxury cars, Xiao Tian preferred this kind of high-performance yet not overly flashy car, and this Audi R8 was evidently the perfect choice.

The car weaved through the bustling city streets and finally arrived at the West City Branch.

Xiao Tian parked the car in the lot, shaking his head with a wry smile as he looked at the familiar surroundings, thinking how incompetent he was as a policeman, being away for months. Jiang Chao must be furious by now?

Xiao Tian quickly walked towards the station lobby, pondering how he would explain himself.

He was walking so fast that he didn’t notice a woman approaching him head-on, and they bumped straight into each other.

"Ah!" The woman let out a soft cry.

Xiao Tian also felt as if he had bumped into something soft. He reached out to feel it and was instantly dumbstruck.

"You... you dare to touch?? This is assaulting an officer!"

The woman, realizing the man who bumped into her dared to touch her chest, angrily reached for her handcuffs.

As she saw the person in front of her, she froze and exclaimed, "Xiao Tian!"

"Beautiful mentor?" Xiao Tian exclaimed simultaneously in surprise.

The woman in front of him was Yu Ningxue, whom he hadn’t seen for months.

Yu Ningxue, in her tightly wrapped police uniform, still couldn’t hide her perfect figure.

Yu Ningxue looked at Xiao Tian with a somewhat complicated expression. After the previous ambiguous incident, she felt that their relationship had taken a step closer, and they had become more intimate.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Tian disappeared for four months, during which she couldn’t contact him no matter what, as if he’d vanished from the earth.

A cold smile appeared on Yu Ningxue’s face, "Haha, well if it isn’t Chief Officer Xiao. Remembering this place is no easy feat for you!"

Saying this, Yu Ningxue started walking out. Xiao Tian hurried to catch up, "Beautiful mentor, please don’t mock me. I almost died!"

Yu Ningxue glanced at Xiao Tian, saying lightly, "Died? It would’ve been better if you did."

Saying this, Yu Ningxue got into the police car. Once inside, she intentionally slowed her actions only to find that Xiao Tian, who was just beside her, had vanished.

"This idiot!"

Yu Ningxue gritted her teeth in anger and stepped on the gas.

Just as the police car was driving for a bit, Xiao Tian’s voice suddenly came from behind, "Beautiful mentor, where are we heading?"

On the road, a police car was moving slowly.

The driver was a beautiful woman in a police uniform, but she seemed to be in a bad mood, keeping a plain expression, saying not a word from start to finish.

The two in the car were, of course, Xiao Tian and Yu Ningxue.

Sitting in the back, Xiao Tian was quite distressed. No matter how he tried to strike up a conversation, Yu Ningxue just wouldn’t respond, driving on without telling him where they were heading.

"Beautiful mentor, I really had my reasons for leaving! How about we find a place tonight and I’ll explain everything over dinner? It’ll be quite romantic!"

Yu Ningxue kept silent, continuing to drive.

Xiao Tian sighed helplessly, "Beautiful mentor, it’s fine if you don’t want to talk to me, but at least tell me where we’re going and what we’re doing?"

"I didn’t ask you to come."

Finally, Yu Ningxue coldly uttered a sentence.

Smack.

Then, Xiao Tian felt something hit his face.

He reached out to grab it, realizing it was some documents Yu Ningxue threw at him.

It read: "Complainant: Zhao Xue, Age: 18, Reason for complaint: Rape."

A rape case? And the victim is an eighteen-year-old girl.

Xiao Tian now understood why Yu Ningxue stormed out of the station earlier. It turned out to be the kind of case she loathed the most.

Once before, Xiao Tian went on a mission with Yu Ningxue for a rape case, and Yu Ningxue almost drew her gun right there and then to shoot the perpetrator. Even now, thinking about it, Xiao Tian found it terrifying.

-----

Twenty minutes later, the police car arrived at a small city hospital located in a remote area. There were few vehicles around and the medical conditions were poor.

"The victim’s family is not well off, so she can only be temporarily placed here. But compared to the physical injuries, the psychological trauma is the worst." Before entering the hospital gate, Yu Ningxue frowned and explained.

Yu Ningxue was impartial in her work, so she hadn’t been ignoring Xiao Tian completely.

On the contrary, having Xiao Tian with her gave Yu Ningxue a sense of confidence, a feeling she couldn’t quite describe.

During the months before, every time Yu Ningxue went on a mission alone, she felt very uncomfortable. But being a stubborn woman, she refused to admit she had grown reliant on Xiao Tian.
