Wei Xue’s Resentment

Captain Chen seemed to heave a sigh of relief, and his tone was filled with a smile. He consoled, “Xiao Lu, do your best. Don’t let down the higher-ups’ nurturing of you.”

“Then if there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up,” Lu Bai said indifferently.

“Hey, wait!” Hearing that Lu Bai was going to hang up, Captain Chen hurriedly stopped him.

“What’s the matter?” Lu Bai asked.

“Well, Xiao Lu, recently… have you… Um, offended anyone? Some people that you shouldn’t have offended, but you accidentally offended them,” Captain Chen asked carefully.

Lu Bai frowned and didn’t comment. “In our line of work, who hasn’t offended someone? What do you mean?”

Captain Chen replied, “That’s right, it’s fine. Anyway, you have to be more careful in whatever you do in the future. Also, in the future, you have to be more polite to your colleagues or the leaders around you. Although I know that you have Elder Lu backing you up, there’s no guarantee that someone will backstab you behind your back, so you still have to be careful.”

After saying that, he was afraid that Lu Bai would misunderstand, so he added, “After all, many of the cases that we take on involve officials from various places. Be careful not to be hated by others when the time comes. It will be very troublesome.”

Captain Chen knew that Lu Bai was smart, so he did not dare to make things too clear. He only dared to give him some pointers from the side. Otherwise, if Lu Bai knew that he was being targeted by someone, based on his temper, he would definitely think of a way to find out who that person was. When the matter blew up, it would not be good for them.

Although Captain Chen did not know who the person above was, he heard that he had a powerful background. He was not someone that they could afford to offend.

Captain Chen was full of worry. However, Lu Bai did not mind. “It doesn’t matter. I only have one life left. If they want it, they can take it. No matter what, as long as it’s in my hands, everything must be done according to the rules. Our mission is to protect the ordinary people. If even we are afraid, who will help them seek justice?”

Lu Bai was usually mild-mannered, but when it came to a case, he became like a stubborn donkey. He believed in true fairness and justice. If there was a problem, he would deal with it. No matter who it was, as long as they broke the law, they would be caught by him in the end. Even if this person’s position was higher than his, he would not let them go.

Captain Chen sighed. He knew that he could not persuade Lu Bai on this matter. He could only remind him, “Xiao Lu, even if you don’t think about yourself, you have to think about your grandfather, Elder Lu. He’s old, and he can’t protect himself at all times like you.”

As for Elder Lu, Lu Bai was even less worried. The corner of his lips curled up into a smile. He said lightly, “My grandfather? Then I’m quite looking forward to it. If they want to touch him, they have to see how many lives they have. He’s much harder to deal with than me.”

Elder Lu belonged to the army. The army was different from the police force. What the army wanted was for comrades-in-arms to help each other, be loyal to the country, and defend the country together. As the saying went, the people in the army were the most protective. As long as they touched a comrade-in-arms, that person would not be able to have a good life in the future. They would be hated by everyone in the army.

However, it was different for the police. Because of their positions, the police were responsible for maintaining domestic law and order. The cases they usually dealt with were mostly domestic cases. This led to some malevolent police officers using their positions for personal gain. Therefore, the relationship between the police officers, in addition to their superiors and subordinates, was also supervised by each other.

Therefore, it didn’t matter if someone touched him. When the time came, the one who would be anxious might only be Elder Lu. However, if they dared to touch Elder Lu, then it would be equivalent to provoking the army.

When Captain Chen heard that Lu Bai didn’t seem to care at all, he thought about it and agreed. Whoever dared to touch Elder Lu was simply complaining that their lives were too long. Knowing that it was useless to try to persuade him, Captain Chen gave him a few simple instructions to be careful before the two of them hung up the phone.

Lu Bai’s hard-earned rest day was gone again. He had to leave for Jiao City immediately. Looking back at the hospital building, Lu Bai’s heart was filled with mixed feelings. Elder Lu asked him to visit Su Meng whenever he had the time. He wanted to visit Su Meng as well, but he was too busy with work and always missed the opportunity.

He decided that after this mission was over, he would definitely rest well for a few days and then go visit Su Meng.

Su Meng did not know what had happened after she left. At this moment, she was almost at the Wei family home.

She leaned against the back of the chair and looked out of the window leisurely. Wei Ting sat beside her and closed his eyes to rest. At this moment, his condition was much better. His face was not as pale as before.

As for Wei Xue, she was sitting in the co-pilot’s seat with a gloomy face. From time to time, she would look at Su Meng and Wei Ting through the rearview mirror. Su Meng had been sitting there quietly at first. Later, she noticed Wei Xue’s movements. Every time she looked over, she would lean intimately against Wei Ting’s side.
