She is in the fog

On August 2021, 8, thanks to the efforts of countless undercover police officers and informants, the Nanzhou police have thoroughly identified the "S" drug trafficking gang and decided to carry out a crackdown today. The Nanzhou Public Security Bureau even dispatched 14 police officers from neighboring cities in order to catch them in one fell swoop and leave no future troubles.

Jian Chun was killed by the "S" drug trafficking gang. Now it is finally time to close the net. He Xi is more excited and eager than anyone else.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, based on information provided by the informant, He Xi's team had already ambushed in Chengping Street, waiting to arrest drug dealers Ke and Sun from the "S" drug gang.

At 4:58, a van slowly stopped by the roadside and a man got out of the car. It was Ke. In a flash, the police officers took quick action. Qin Yiran kicked Ke to the ground, and the other police officers quickly stepped forward to arrest him.

Seeing this, Sun, who was sitting in the driver's seat, tried to drive away. However, he was stopped by two black cars as soon as he reached the first intersection. Sun then abandoned the car and fled. He Xi was quick-witted and got out of the car in a hurry to chase Sun.

During the pursuit, Sun fired three shots at He Xi, one of which grazed He Xi's left arm, causing blood to flow out immediately.

The other party was carrying a gun and resisted arrest and attacked the police, which was very dangerous. He Xi ignored the pain and quickly shouted "I have a gun" to signal his comrades behind him to pay attention to safety. At the same time, He Xi decisively took out his pistol and shot at Sun. The shot hit Sun's thigh. Sun staggered and the gun fell to the ground. Seeing that Sun still wanted to pick up the gun, He Xi stepped forward and kicked him to the ground, and kicked the gun far away. The supporting police arrived immediately, and everyone worked together to subdue Sun.

Sun was very unconvinced and shouted with a red neck: "He Xi, you bastard, you are seeking revenge for personal gain. Shoot me! I will not let you go even if I become a ghost!"

"Someone else is the culprit, but it won't be me." He Xi didn't even bother to look at him. "If you have anything to say, save it for the law."

Qin Yiran hurried forward to check on He Xi's injuries, only to see that blood had already stained half of the sleeves of her denim jacket. She frowned and said, "You go to the hospital first. I'll take care of this."
"Okay." He Xi instructed, "He fired three shots, and I fired two. Remember to find all the bullets."
"receive."

"Sister Xi, I can drive you to the hospital." Police officer Zhang Lan took on the task of taking her to the hospital.

In the hospital, the doctor was treating He Xi's wound. Fortunately, the bullet only grazed his arm, causing superficial injuries without damaging the bones. He should be able to heal soon.

The mission of He Xi's team is to capture these two drug dealers. It is not yet known how the other teams have completed their tasks.
However, in order to capture the two drug dealers, the team members had not slept for several days and nights. Fortunately, the mission was completed successfully and all the hard work was not in vain.

Logically speaking, she could finally have a good rest for a while.
In fact, this is not the case. She knows in her heart that as long as drugs are available, her fight will not stop. Even if she is sleeping, she will be there immediately when she receives a phone call.

What's more, she subconsciously didn't want to be idle. It seemed that only by working non-stop, being busy to the point of being overwhelmed and tired to the point of falling asleep as soon as she hit the bed, could she temporarily forget all the sorrow.

The doctor bandaged He Xi's wound and reminded him of some precautions, to which He Xi readily agreed.
At 6:19 pm, Zhang Lan came back from getting medicine for He Xi. As the two walked out of the hospital gate, Zhang Lan looked at the endless stream of pedestrians and vehicles and asked, "Sister Xi, are we going back to the bureau?"
"Go back to the station and submit the shooting report first."

The road back to the police station was more bumpy than the road to the hospital. Zhang Lan's car ran into a traffic jam at the second intersection. He Xi lowered the window and looked out at the endless traffic ahead. The sound of horns came to her ears. The dull sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance mixed with the smell of gasoline on both sides of the road rushed into He Xi's nostrils, making her feel particularly irritated. He Xi looked at the map on her phone, which showed a series of red and yellow roads. It was estimated that it would take more than ten minutes to pass the current level, not to mention the road conditions behind.

"Why is it so congested today?" He Xi was puzzled. "Usually there aren't so many cars during rush hour."

Zhang Lan explained: "Sister Xi, don't you know that today is Chinese Valentine's Day? It would be strange if there is no traffic jam."

"Valentine's Day, Valentine's Day..." He Xi murmured the term repeatedly, then gave a self-deprecating smile of ambiguous meaning, then leaned his head back, closed his eyes and rested on the chair.

Due to the traffic jam, the journey that usually takes just ten minutes took more than an hour.

As soon as He Xi returned to the police station, many colleagues came forward to express their concern about her injuries.

"It's okay, it's just a superficial wound, don't worry."
He Xi returned to her office while chatting. When she was about to write a report, police officer Xiao Zhao came to her side with a document express delivery: "Sister Xi, are you okay?"
"It's just a skin injury."
"That's good. I had a package for you this morning. Since you weren't here, I signed for it for you."
"What express delivery?"
Xiao Zhao weighed it and said, "It's thin and not heavy. It might be some document."

He Xi reached out to take it, tore open the courier packaging, and found a bright red book inside. She took it out.
"Wedding invitations?"

He Xi was curious, so she opened it. However, after she saw the contents clearly, her face suddenly darkened and the red bloodshot in her eyes became more obvious.

Seeing the change in He Xi's expression, Xiao Zhao beside him was also confused: "Sister Xi, what's wrong? Why do you look so bad?"

"Nothing." He Xi quickly closed the invitation and put it back into the courier document bag. Then, he tried to calm himself down and said to Xiao Zhao with a smile, "Go and do your own thing."

At night, the stars in the sky were numerous and bright. He Xi sat alone in the study room at home, looking at the gold-stamped wedding invitation in his hand expressionlessly. The soft light shining on it gave it a hint of warmth.
Bride: He Xi
Bride: Bright
Wedding time: August 2024, 8 at 18:10
Wedding location: Sunshine Hotel, No. 99 Xingfu Street
He Xi's gaze stayed on the word "bright" for a long time. After a while, she shook her head and forced a sad smile.

Mingmei had passed away seven years ago, so she knew very well that this was someone else's prank, but she hoped very much that the wedding invitation in front of her was real. If it was real, at least Mingmei was still alive. No matter whether she was willing to be her bride or not, as long as she was still alive, it was enough.
