Chapter 887: Chapter 877: I Can’t Live Without You

"Kid, Uncle is taking you home, don’t be scared."

"Kid, Uncle is taking you home, don’t be scared!"

Outside the third prison, Su Qing, Shen Yi, and Li Zijun stood side by side, watching as a rural old man shouted while lifting a stretcher covered with a white cloth onto a vehicle not far away.

There were also four or five other men around, seemingly all relatives of Zhang Heng’s family.

People respect the dead, hoping they rest in peace. No matter what Zhang Heng did outside, he didn’t harm the village, didn’t neglect his duties, and didn’t disrespect his parents. He was just unlucky.

Su Qing looked at the stretcher being lifted onto the vehicle, covered with a white cloth, feeling indescribably uncomfortable. It wasn’t that he had deep feelings for Zhang Heng, but rather the fact that he only saw the person earlier, and now, less than an hour later, there was no longer anyone called Zhang Heng in this world. It was a bit poignant.

"Stop looking, let’s go!" Shen Yi spoke, pushing him onto the vehicle.

Su Qing didn’t resist and was pushed inside. Shen Yi then turned to glance at Li Zijun and softly said, "Ah, he’s just like that. I hope no prisoner ever causes a scene like this again. I can’t handle being scared!"

Though seemingly muttering to herself, Shen Yi was in fact speaking to Li Zijun, advising her to help keep such incidents at bay in the future, to prevent any unexpected occurrences.

Being intelligent, Li Zijun naturally understood the meaning behind Shen Yi’s words and awkwardly smiled, "Don’t worry, there shouldn’t be such incidents again. Leaving the police station is good. Su Qing can be impulsive sometimes, and given your current prosperity, as long as you live honestly, you’ll never worry about money. The police station really isn’t suitable for him."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi nodded in satisfaction. She truly hoped Su Qing would have no more ties with the police station, as his biggest emotional upheavals were almost always related to matters there.

Nowadays, it’s everyone for themselves, and they’re not harming anyone. They earn clean money, so there’s no need to let such matters rob them of happiness.

"If you actually want to do something else, I can help you with that, be it business or even becoming a celebrity. With your looks, even entering the entertainment industry won’t be impossible. With my brother’s resources, you could have a bright future. What do you say? Want to try changing jobs?" Shen Yi suggested.

Although the two had privately reconciled earlier, and Li Zijun had let go of her mixed feelings, she still felt this woman was a threat. If possible, she would want Li Zijun out of the police station, preferably to debut as a celebrity, traveling around the country in the limelight, earning well, and most importantly, ensure Su Qing could sever ties completely with the police station.

Originally, she was quite pleased with Su Qing’s resignation, but who would have thought such mess would still happen, leaving loose ends.

Thus, she wanted to solve the problem from its root.

Upon hearing this, Li Zijun shook her head with a smile, "Not for me. Being a police officer has been my dream since childhood. I truly love my job. Everyone’s dreams differ, and the ways to express value are different. For you, perhaps earning money and being a taxpayer is your contribution to the country. But for me, catching criminals in the police station is where I express my value, so... thank you nonetheless!"

Seeing this, Shen Yi felt a bit disappointed yet said nothing more. She had only mentioned it casually, feeling happy if it happened, but not insisting if it didn’t.

At most, she would pay more attention and put in more effort because this childhood friend posed a significant threat, at least to Su Qing. It’s too dangerous.

"Alright then, that’s it. But my offer stays valid; contact me anytime if you change your mind. We’re leaving now!" Shen Yi said with a wave.

Li Zijun nodded in acknowledgment, "Goodbye, drive safely!"

Watching the two drive away, Li Zijun took a deep breath and silently reflected on herself. It seems she really has to avoid any real case-related contacts between Su Qing and the police station.

Thankfully, nothing serious happened last time sort of speak, as it would have been hard to imagine how she’d face his Aunt Hui afterward. Their families have had a good relationship for so many years, and even a single incident could cause a rift. So, it’s indeed better for Su Qing to leave.

That was also why Li Zijun didn’t voice any words of retention when Su Qing went to resign.

Unknowingly, Li Zijun’s thoughts had changed quietly.

In the car, Shen Yi drove slowly, "So that’s it; that man’s situation is quite tragic. Does that mean that branch of their family ends here?"

"Who would disagree? They finally had a son, only for him not to be his. Even his late ex-wife didn’t know who the father was. Personally, I think that woman deserved to die. Though she was at fault, she still wanted a share of the family property at her departure, showed no remorse, and even spent the child support on herself. Honestly, I can’t even find words to describe her. Not only was she bad, but also foolish!

If she had committed fewer mistakes, she wouldn’t have ended up like this. When I learned all this, I privately took Zhang Heng in to strive for leniency for his confession, who would have thought... sigh!" Su Qing shook his head and sighed.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi rolled her eyes and spat, "Bleh, feeling mighty proud there, aren’t you? Associating with a murderer like that, you’ve got some guts."

"Hehe, well, it’s all in the past, no point bringing it up. By the way, how did you even think of asking Sister Jun to change jobs, like debuting in the entertainment industry? That’s some imagination you’ve got there. Let me tell you, my Sister Jun will comply if you ask her to quit police work, but debuting... hahaha!"

As he spoke, Su Qing himself laughed, as he couldn’t picture Li Zijun on stage, singing and dancing, twisting her waist or swinging her hips. Her looks were indisputable, but it was just too mismatched.

"What do you think, isn’t it all for you? You should avoid interacting with police station personnel more, as of today. You performed well, keep up the good work!" Shen Yi chuckled while focusing on the road ahead.

"Performed well? What for?"

"At least your emotions didn’t fluctuate wildly today. You need to learn to be more cold, selfish, and consider yourself more. I don’t want you in trouble because you’re not entirely yourself anymore, understand?"

Hearing this, Su Qing paused, "Life’s separations and reunions are natural rules. We must learn to accept life’s comings and goings calmly.

All I can control is myself, forever. As for their lives, I’m just a spectator. Experiencing it is a blessing in itself, what’s the point of worrying about the ending?"

"Glad you feel that way, come here!"

"Huh?" Su Qing was taken aback.

"Huh what!"

Then, Shen Yi reached out, grabbed his collar suddenly, pulling him strongly towards herself, and turned to plant a kiss on his lips.

"Mwah~ tastes good, this flavor sis loves, always think of yourself first when incidents happen; sis can’t live without you!"

Settling back into the seat, Su Qing took a breath, and upon hearing her words, was taken aback, then abruptly realized why Shen Yi had been encouraging his resignation all this time, and why she insisted on coming today.

She had been worried constantly, just like the night he went to witness the outcome, though fainted with no recollection, he knew. When Shen Yi received news he was unconscious in a hospital, she must have been terrified that night.

Thinking this, Su Qing took a deep breath and said, "I understand, sis, I will!"

"Good boy~~"
