My Youth Began With Him

“Mom, it’s useless to talk about that now,” Shen Mingxi reminded his mother hurriedly.

“As your senior, I wanted to say it’s not easy to find your destined other-half. I wonder if you two can…”

Before Mrs. Shen could finish, Wei Ying said, “Um… Auntie, I just remembered that I have an appointment with someone for morning tea. I’ll come back and see Mingxi again. Please take good care of him.”

“Um. Okay.” Mrs. Shen looked dazed as she watched Wei Ying leave in haste.

With Wei Ying gone, she turned the conversation to her son.

“Mingxi, you and Ying…”

“Mom, I’m sleepy. I must sleep now.”

Shen Mingxi lied back and covered his face with the sheet.

“Well… This boy is indeed…”

– At the gate of the city police department –

Gao Ran had just returned from patrol with his team in police cars.

He liked working as a policeman as it gave him a sense of purpose. Even though he was the chief of the city police department, he still went on patrol with his team occasionally.

His mission was to keep the residents of C City safe…

The moment his car stopped at the gate, a large group of people swarmed up and surrounded Gao Ran.

“Hi, Chief Gao! It’s said there’s something behind the death of the suspect, Shen Jiani. Is it true?”

“Chief Gao, according to the daughter of the dead woman, the suspect was murdered instead of dying in an ordinary car crash; and the city police department in your charge has covered it up and kept the corpse from her daughter due to your special relationship with the murderer. Is it true?”

Gao Ran’s face darkened…

“Chief Gao, some people on the internet forums pointed out that the mastermind of the murder is Mr. Qin. As a close friend of Mr. Qin, were you involved in it as well?”

“Chief Gao, what do you think of Huo Yanyan’s lawsuit against the city police department on behalf of her mother?”

“Your father was a police officer and he had always valued justice. Do you hold the same belief as he did?”

Gao Ran was tired from the patrol and was about to go home after taking a shower and changing into clean clothes.

He was caught off guard by the confusing questions from the reporters…

“Wait! What are you doing here? I don’t understand what your purpose is.” Gao Ran felt a headache coming.

“Chief Gao, since you insist on playing dumb, I’ll speak for you, okay?”

A woman walked out from the rear of the crowd. She was Huo Yanyan.

Wearing a red long dress and heavy make-up, she looked very seductive.

She walked to stand before Gao Ran and said with a smile, “Here is the thing. Due to the kidnapping, Qin Chu hated my Mom and was worried that the court would go easy on her. After all, my mom was just an accessory in the crime and had been used by the principal culprit. Now that the principal culprit is dead, the powerful and wealthy President Qin hired some people to kill my mom and disguised it as a car crash. The police department grabbed my mom’s body without my permission and did the forensics; they kept the body in the police department and didn’t let me see it. All these things made me suspect there was some secret deal between Chief Gao and Qin Chu. They must be responsible for my mom’s death. As an ordinary resident, I have nowhere to turn for help and had to ask the media to expose them. People will see what kind of public servants that we taxpayers are paying for. These public servants do nothing for the people but collude with wealthy entrepreneurs. Chief Gao, after you did such a big favor for Qin Chu, he’ll at least give you a Ferrari, right?”

Hearing her words, Gao Ran became livid with fury…
