Quick Transmigration: What to Do When the Male Supporting Character You Saved Becomes Obsessed with

Chapter 340 Obedient and Clingy Younger Brother (51)

Mr. Lu nodded: "I won't say, I definitely won't say."

He thought to himself, if his daughter knew that he and her mother were talking about these things with Xiaohe behind his back, she would probably throw a tantrum.

Mr. Lu thought, how could his daughter be completely unaware? Only this silly boy thought he was being very clever and that he had done a good job of keeping it a secret.

Jin Shuhe had no idea that Lu's father had seen through him. He blushed from his face to his collar, his whole body turning as red as a boiled shrimp, the color not fading for a long time.

Looking at him like this, Ms. Qin didn't know what to say next: "Xiao He, things don't always go as planned. You're still young, maybe in a few years..."

"I'm not young anymore. I've liked Li Ruan for several years now. I can tell the difference... I will continue to like Sister Li Ruan in the future."

Feeling as if his feelings were being questioned, Jin Shuhe tried his best to explain himself. He didn't know if others would believe him, but he knew that he would only like Sister Li Ruan.

Age cannot be used to judge the depth of a person's feelings, and Jin Shuhe does not think that he is too young to understand what love is.

The affection and care he received from Sister Li Ruan were his most precious things, so wasn't it only natural that he would love Sister Li Ruan in return?

"Okay, okay." Ms. Qin wanted to laugh, but coughed lightly and held it back.

It should have been a very serious matter, but for some reason, Ms. Qin found Xiao He to be somewhat endearingly dull.

Although the child certainly wouldn't realize it.

Jin Shuhe didn't even know how he got back to his room. It took him a while to come to his senses.

It seems like I... passed the test with my uncle and aunt?

There's no connection at all.

None of the things he feared—the consequences he might suffer if his feelings became known—came to pass.

This left him somewhat bewildered.

Don't your uncle and aunt think their feelings are wishful thinking and overestimating their abilities...?

In an instant, Jin Shuhe felt warm all over, and the blood that had just been blocked rushed into his peripheral nerves.

He could hear his own heart pounding, and he felt incredibly excited, as if he had been injected with adrenaline.

When Lu Liruan returned, she felt that something was off about the atmosphere in the house, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

The next day, Ms. Qin kept looking herself up and down while eating, as if she were talking about herself.

"Mom? What are you looking at? Is my face covered in flowers?" Lu Liruan tilted her head.

"Look, you have a pimple on your face!" Ms. Qin pointed. Lu Liruan raised her hand and touched it, and sure enough, she felt it: "Ouch—"

"I've been eating too well these past few days."

"Sister Li Ruan, eat more cold dishes."

Naturally, Jin Shuhe placed a piece of cold dish on Lu Liruan's plate.

Ms. Qin fell silent.

When night fell, she tossed and turned, unable to sleep. She nudged her father, who was looking at his phone next to her, and said, "You know... Xiao He is really good at taking care of people. I've noticed it more and more these past few days."

“Hasn’t he always been good at taking care of people? When he first came back, our girl came empty-handed, but Xiaohe carried two big bags.”

"Too."

Ms. Qin seemed to be deep in thought.

"Hey, you know, if they really got together, it wouldn't be bad. Xiao He's family has no parents, so how is he any different from our own son? Li Ruan watched him grow up, and with affection and gratitude, he's a reliable match!"

“She’s good at taking care of people, and she’ll have a good job in the future. Li Ruan doesn’t have a husband yet, and the more I think about it, the more I feel that it makes sense!” Ms. Qin convinced herself first.

Mr. Lu took off his reading glasses and placed them on the bedside table: "Didn't we agree that we wouldn't interfere? Why are you worrying about it again?"

"How could I not care at all? You're so carefree, you believe everything your daughter says." Ms. Qin glared at him.

"The two are quite different. They're not even close to being a couple yet. You're thinking too early."

As long as his daughter is doing well, Mr. Lu is fine with anything. His daughter is doing well now, so why should he worry about what will happen in the future?

"Don't get involved, or Ruan Ruan will just ignore you!"

"Alright, alright, I got it." Ms. Qin sighed. "Go to sleep, I need to sleep a lot, I'm the only one in the family who's quick-witted!"

"Yes, yes, you're right."

Lu Liruan was short-tempered and forgetful, and she didn't really have a grudge against Jin Shuhe. By the time they left, they were already fine. The two of them came happily and left happily.

"A heartless girl."

Ms. Qin stood upstairs watching their backs as her daughter turned around, still holding nothing in her hands. She jumped up and waved to her, then playfully scolded her.

After the New Year, Jin Shuhe's internship was also exciting and fulfilling. They were assigned to local police stations to work on duty with their mentors.

"Be careful, you two, don't let the crowd hurt you!" Li Heli told his two children before getting out of the car to mediate the dispute.

"Master, what, what, is there still danger?" Wang Dinglun asked cautiously.

"I'm telling you to protect yourselves! When we're serving the people, we must also do our best to protect ourselves and avoid unnecessary injuries!"

“Yes, Master,” Jin Shuhe replied earnestly.

Two groups of people got into a fight after drinking, and the legs of a nearby table were removed.

The commotion was so loud that it was impossible to tell who was hitting whom or trying to stop it. Li Heli, unfazed, stepped forward and said, "Police! Stop it!"

Stop... Of course, it didn't stop.

Finally, press and hold three.

Two of them were pinned to the ground, but they kept struggling to break free and continue fighting.

"Take him back! Detain him in the observation room until he sobers up before questioning him. Send the injured to the hospital. Wang'er, go with him!"

"Okay Master!"

They initially thought it was a low-probability event for them to be attacked, but unexpectedly, the very next day, another trainee police officer was "injured".

The old residential compound is to be demolished and rebuilt to increase parking spaces, but the old lady refuses to give up her small privately built vegetable garden.

When they arrived to mediate the conflict, the woman was standing in front of the worker, hands on her hips, scolding him. In the vegetable garden next to her, several kinds of scallions and vegetables were indeed growing well.

"You've already planted a crop, haven't you? This land is in the yard, and you've been planting it for years. You've planted so many crops for nothing..."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the woman turned her temper on him. In the end, he was attacked by her with a whole tray of eggs she had just bought. All eight eggs were thrown at him, leaving his police uniform sticky and sticky. When his mentor asked him to get in the car, he was extremely disgusted.

"Be careful, this police car was just washed!"

"Hahahahaha!" Lu Liruan laughed so hard she almost fell over as she listened to Jin Shuhe's story.

Jin Shuhe himself doesn't have a comedic personality, and when he spoke, he was calm and composed, not trying to tell jokes. But it was just that when these things were put together, they inexplicably hit Lu Liruan's funny bone.

"Your colleague really doesn't know how to talk! What happened in the end?"

"His master intervened and persuaded the woman to finish picking the last batch of vegetables before the workers were allowed to level the ground."

The last batch of vegetables wasn't wasted after all. The most seriously injured in this incident were the eight eggs.

Lu Liruan hadn't finished laughing when she suddenly saw Jin Shuhe approaching.

"Ha..." Lu Liruan was startled, but saw that he simply took a fallen hair from his collar and threw it into the trash can.

Lu Liruan sighed inwardly. These days, she couldn't even tell whether she was overthinking things or whether Jin Shuhe had indeed gone too far.

I feel like I can no longer distinguish where the boundaries should be.

"How's your exam preparation going?" Lu Liruan coughed lightly, subtly changing the subject.

"Fortunately."

"That's fine then." Lu Liruan stood up. "I'm going to work now. Let's have stew for dinner tonight!"

"it is good."

Jin Shuhe watched as Lu Liruan's door closed, a hint of loneliness flashing in his eyes. He sensed that Sister Liruan was wary of him. How could someone as perceptive as him not notice such subtle signs?

This made Jin Shuhe very sad. As he grew older, it seemed that he was gradually drifting away from Sister Li Ruan, which he could not refuse.

Whether in life or...

Jin Shuhe could not accept it.

But he couldn't move forward; he was stuck in the middle of a road, looking around blankly, feeling uncertain and anxious.

But what can be done? This is the path he chose to take.

Jin Shuhe and Wang Dinglun were eating together in the cafeteria. Jin Shuhe was absentmindedly looking at his phone. He hadn't received a reply to the message he sent to Sister Li Ruan that morning.

"I want to take the exam to become a criminal investigator in the municipal bureau. I really don't want to do these trivial things anymore..." He was seething with anger.

"What? You look down on trivial matters?"

Suddenly, a cool voice came from behind him, startling him. He turned around and saw his master standing there.

"I've been doing these trivial things for almost thirty years and I haven't felt ashamed at all, but you've become so arrogant!" The master placed the rice plate next to them and began to shovel rice into his mouth.

"Master, I... I didn't mean that!" Wang Dinglun explained in a low voice.

His master waved his hand: "I know what you mean. You think things are trivial, not cool or handsome enough, and there aren't any big cases to broaden your horizons, right?"

"Do not……"

"No police incident is too small or too big. Our job is to solve problems for the people, protect their safety, and work with other units to build a defense line so that people can live and work in peace. Do you think this can be measured by trivial matters? That's what your teachers taught you in school!" The master became more and more angry as he spoke.

"You keep talking about major cases, but do you know how much impact they have on the victims' families and on social stability? If possible, those things would always happen, and they would always be trivial and boring tasks, which is the best-case scenario!"

As he spoke, his gaze swept over Jin Shuhe, intentionally or unintentionally.

Jin Shuhe nodded.

During the joint entrance exam, Jin Shuhe was even more stable than during the college entrance exam.

"Xiaohe, how did you do on the exam?"

When Jin Shuhe received Wu Qidong's call, the results were almost ready.

Over the years, they have maintained contact. Back then, when the case remained unresolved, Wu Qidong saw the child standing alone at the entrance of his workplace several times.

"Please take this child directly to my place from now on," he instructed the guard at the door.

"No need, I don't want to delay your work, I just... wanted to ask."

Ask me about my mother's case and see if there's been any progress.

Although the investigation is still ongoing, several years have passed, and without clear new evidence, there will no longer be a large-scale police effort to investigate and solve the case.

Everything seemed to be just waiting, waiting for a vague turning point, not knowing when or if a clue or breakthrough would appear.

Although Wu Qidong couldn't give Jin Shuhe any answer, he couldn't avoid seeing the child either.

"Really, it's not necessary. I can't disturb your work; you still have to catch other bad guys." The child, who was still very young at the time, gripped the strap of his schoolbag tightly and said to him in a serious tone.

Wu Qidong remained silent.

Although the investigation at the time did not overlook anything and the police made no mistakes, Wu Qidong still felt guilty when facing the child, and he was afraid to look the child in the eye.

But he must face it, and not only he, but the entire police system and all investigators involved in the case must face it. They cannot forget it and must continue to pay attention at all times.

Until the victim's family is given the truth.

Later, the child came less often.

Later, Wu Qidong heard that his father had also passed away. He visited the family a few times, but couldn't help much. He wanted to leave some money, but neither the child nor his stepmother would accept it.

Wu Qidong would ask Jin Shuhe about his situation every now and then. When he heard Jin Shuhe say that he had been admitted to the police academy, he was stunned for a moment.

"pretty good."

"Your personality is suited for this job. Study hard, and feel free to contact me if you need anything."

"Thank you, Uncle Wu."

At the time, Wu Qidong wanted to transfer him to the municipal bureau for an internship, but Jin Shuhe refused and insisted on obeying the school's assignment.

"Are you going to take the exam for the Municipal Public Security Bureau?" Wu Qidong asked him seriously, smoking a cigarette.

Although the child didn't say it outright, how could Wu Qidong not know his obsession?

"Yes."

"Work hard! I believe you can pass the exam. I'll be waiting for you at the Municipal Public Security Bureau."

When Wu Qidong participated in the case investigation, he was in his early thirties. Now, more than ten years later, he is the second-in-command of the Municipal Public Security Bureau's Major Crimes Division.

Jin Shuhe passed the exam as expected.

This year, two of the major cases were transferred due to personal reasons, and with Wu Qidong's personal appointment, Jin Shuhe's police academy resume was very impressive, with scholarships awarded every year, leaving no room for criticism.

On his first day on the job, Wu Qidong patted him on the shoulder with a firm pat: "Welcome to the Major Crimes Unit."

"Thank you, Deputy Captain Wu."

Jin Shuhe changed how she addressed him.

The work of handling serious crimes is not something that can all be learned in school. There is so much he needs to adapt to. The veteran police officers in the team are all highly skilled and capable individuals. While Jin Shuhe is working hard and feeling dizzy, he is constantly absorbing new knowledge and experience.

The case files from just the last few years alone are piled up in several large stacks, and every single case in them is shocking.

Lu Liruan's heart also began to race as he officially started working.

After failing to contact Jin Shuhe again that night, Lu Liruan woke up in the middle of the night and checked her phone, but there were still no messages.

Unable to stay in bed any longer, I got up, walked into the living room, hesitated for a moment, and then made the call.

In the quiet, empty room, the sudden ringing of the bell startled Lu Liruan so much that her legs went weak, and she looked in the direction from which the sound came!
