Breaking Through The Clouds

Chapter 3

Seeing Jiang Ting stand there, Yan Xie immediately turned the steering wheel, stepped on the accelerator, and rushed toward the truck.

The next day.

"Thank you for taking the time to meet me despite your busy schedule, but I feel..."

Yan Xie immediately responded, "I understand."

The upscale resturant in the city centre had a private atmosphere and a pleasant ambiance. Piano music flowed gently in the background as the silverware lightly clinked. The girl sitting across the table bit her lip and gently said, "Although I have great respect for the police profession and admire the sacrifices you make, I still..."

Yan Xie interjected, "I get it."

"Officer Yan, you really are a good person. Your appearance and qualities are outstanding, and I'm sure you'll..."

"I know," Yan Xie interrupted again.

The two of them locked eyes for a moment, and the girl hesitated to speak.

Yan Xie sincerely said, "Don't worry, I'll talk to the person who introduced us."

The girl instantly felt relieved and waved her hand, saying, "Waiter, the bill, please!"

"It's been taken care of." Yan Xie wiped his mouth with the dining cloth, stood up gracefully, and said, "I apologize for taking up your time. Which direction do you live in? May I offer you a ride?"

The girl's heart fluttered slightly, and she replied, "That would be great. You..."

His phone rang.

Yan Xie, with a privileged family background, a standard idol-like appearance, and a fit physique developed from working as a frontline detective for years, was a perfect candidate for blind dates.

However, this eligible bachelor had faced repeated failures in the dating market for one reason only—

"Hello?"

"Boss, Chief Wei wants you to come back immediately. We've made a significant discovery in the autopsy of the body found in the KTV freezer last night. The case has been transferred to the city bureau!"

"..."

Yan Xie hung up the phone, raised his head, and smiled apologetically, "May I drop you off at the subway station?"

The girl declined politely, expressing her strong support and understanding for his work as a detective. They bid farewell in a friendly atmosphere, and as soon as they turned away, they both deleted each other's WeChat accounts.

.........

Yan Xie walked down the steps of the restaurant, greeted by the radiant May sunlight. He pulled out his sunglasses from his collar, ruffled his hair, and recalled the girl's unfinished sentence: "I'm sure you'll..."

Yan Xie couldn't help but sigh, "I'll definitely become the right hand of justice. I have to believe in myself!"

His phone immediately rang, celebrating his dreams.

Yan Xie lazily answered, "Hello, who is this?... Mhmm, I'm on my way back to the city bureau... What? What did you say?"

"Oh my god, boss!" The chief forensic examiner's voice conveyed his excitement even through the phone, "You won't believe it, but it's amazing. We found something extremely rare inside the victim's body. The city bureau's May Day holiday has been ruined for the seventh consecutive year! Can you believe it? Hahaha!"

Yan Xie replied, "...Er Gou, speak in simple language."

"Who's Er Gou? I'm Guo Li ! When I applied to become a forensic doctor, I went through numerous challenges and faced the solemn national flag and police emblem. I even recited a couplet: 'For the sake of the country, I am willing to live and die; why care about fortune and misfortune...'"
