“Then just persevere. You don’t have to care about whether others can understand you or not. As long as you know what you truly want, your future will be bright.” Lin Jia liked Yin Tao’s character very much, and he began to re-evaluate his opinion of her. This girl might really be worthy of his effort to pursue.
“Thank you, Brother Lin Jia.” Yin Tao smiled and shook her head. She then said to Lin Jia, “If I cared so much about the opinions of others, I wouldn’t have chosen this profession. I might as well be a clerk. Not only will I be accepted by my family, I also won’t be gossiped about by outsiders.”
“Yin Hao is quite supportive of you. Don’t worry, as long as you become more and more outstanding, sooner or later, everyone will think that your choice is right.” When Lin Jia first became the mayor’s assistant, his family couldn’t accept it. They hoped that he could find a more dignified job. However, Lin Jia felt that as long as he continued to work hard, he would be rewarded sooner or later.
“Little Sister Xiaotao, are you free this weekend?” Lin Jia was just about to invite Yin Tao to spend the weekend together when he heard Feng Jing’s voice behind him.
“Isn’t your family throwing a birthday banquet for your father this weekend? Do you want to invite Xiaoyin along?” Feng Jing had long received Lin Jia’s invitation, but the nature of his work was too uncertain. Whether he could go depended entirely on whether there were any new cases that day.
Lin Jia suddenly felt that Feng Jing was an eyesore. He smiled at Yin Tao and explained, “I want to ask Little Sister Xiaotao for a favor. Forget it if it’s inconvenient.”
Yin Tao felt that Lin Jia wasn’t a bad person. At the very least, she didn’t feel uncomfortable interacting with him. “I should be free this weekend. If Brother Lin Jia needs anything, I can help.”
When Lin Jia heard Yin Tao’s words, he replied cheerfully, “That’s great. Since Sister Xiaotao said so, I have hope now.”
Feng Jing felt that Lin Jia was obviously up to no good. However, he was a friend after all, so he couldn’t embarrass him too much.
“We’ll talk about the weekend later. Xiaoyin and I still have to go back to the station.”
Hearing what Feng Jing said, Lin Jia smiled helplessly and called everyone to have breakfast together. After eating in Lin Jia’s villa, Ji Yu drove Feng Jing and Yin Tao back to the police station.
“Boss, your friend, Special Assistant Lin, is really a good person,” Ji Yu said to Feng Jing, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, as he drove.
“You’ve only met him once. How can you tell that he’s a good person?” Feng Jing was still wearing the flamboyant coat from yesterday. He looked like a villain.
“He didn’t kick up a fuss when we went to his house so late last night, and he even prepared breakfast for us today. Before we left, he even provided me with some information about the black market.” Ji Yu’s gaze was very serious, as if he really had a good impression of Lin Jia.
“There aren’t many righteous and warm-hearted people like Special Assistant Lin these days.” Ji Yu praised Lin Jia generously. Feng Jing was visibly upset.
“Special Assistant Lin, whom you think is a good person, once caused trouble at my house for more than a month when he was in a bad mood. He would wake me up in the middle of the night to drink with him every day, while I still have to go to the police station the next day.” Feng Jing rubbed his temples and continued, “When I was in school, he made me do his homework for him. When he got into trouble, he asked me to impersonate his parents. When he was in a relationship, he used me as a shield.”
“If that’s the case, since I didn’t throw him out of the house at that time, am I not an even better person?” Feng Jing glanced at Ji Yu and found that he had already shut his mouth and was focused on driving.
Yin Tao was listening in from the back row, Yin Tao felt that the relationship between Feng Jing and Lin Jia was indeed very close. It was also a kind of good fortune to have friends who knew each other’s flaws and yet still cared for each other.
The car arrived at the police station. A few people in strange clothes walked in quickly through the door. They looked more like troublemakers than police officers.
Feng Jing and Ji Yu went to the police station to change their clothes while Yin Tao quickly ran into her dormitory.
“Xiaotao?” When Bai Luo saw Yin Tao sneaking around, she almost treated her as a suspect. “Why are you dressed like this?”
“Remember I went with Captain Feng to the black market yesterday?” Yin Tao quickly took out a set of sportswear from the cabinet and dashed into the washroom to change.
“You didn’t go home all night again?” Bai Luo knew that Yin Tao had gone out with Captain Feng, but she didn’t expect them to not return last night.
“Something unexpected happened.” Yin Tao changed out of her revealing clothes. She finally felt a little more comfortable and slumped into a chair.
