Seeing the crime scene flashbacks made me the darling of the police station.

Chapter 265 I still don't know you
That evening, Su Miaoyi stood in front of the whiteboard, sorting through the clues related to Lu Xian.

As I was writing, the doorbell rang.

Su Miaoyi subconsciously wiped everything off the whiteboard and then went to open the door.

Qin Chengyuan stood at the door.

Su Miaoyi was startled: "Director."

Qin Chengyuan looked travel-worn and rushed, and in his haste, his already serious expression became even more sharp.

Su Miaoyi stepped aside: "Please come in."

Qin Chengyuan's gaze fell from her face to her arm.

She was wearing short sleeves at home, with the gauze on her arm showing.

Qin Chengyuan entered the house and changed his shoes in the entryway.

He received the news on the day Su Miaoyi was injured.

However, he was attending a symposium in another city and couldn't come back.

Shen Yanzhou told him that everyone was alright, but he was still worried.

"It's alright, everything's fine," Su Miaoyi said.

"I've been attending a meeting out of town for the past two days," Qin Chengyuan said. "Yan Zheng said he was injured in many places."

"They're all minor injuries." Su Miaoyi entered the living room. "Please have a seat."

"You got stitches in your arm?"

"They stitched it up here," Su Miaoyi said. "The stitches can be removed in a few days. Lu Zhishen communicated with the doctor when he stitched it up, and it was stitched very neatly, so it shouldn't leave a scar."

Qin Chengyuan sat on the sofa without saying a word.

Su Miaoyi poured a glass of water: "Have you not eaten yet?"

She wasn't sure where he came from, but she felt that he came here as soon as he finished his work.

"I ate on the plane," Qin Chengyuan said.

"You came straight here after you got off the plane?"

Qin Chengyuan nodded.

"I'm fine now," Su Miaoyi said. "If anyone comes to kill me now, I'll beat them to their knees and beg for mercy in no time."

Qin Chengyuan looked at her.

Su Miaoyi gave a well-behaved smile.

Qin Chengyuan's sharp expression finally softened, and he even showed a slight smile.

He often wondered if he should have stopped her from going to police academy back then.

As a father, he supported her wholeheartedly, respected all her choices, and did his best to fulfill any decision she made.

But it's also because as a father, there will always be selfish motives.

When he lost contact with her, when she was gone, when she was injured and in danger, he would regret every decision he had ever made.

Shouldn't we also strongly oppose her going to police academy?

Should we not have let her learn kung fu from such a young age?

Should we not have agreed to let her pursue this career after graduation?

Should we not have agreed to let her go undercover?

But he always thought that if time could be turned back, he would still respect any of her choices.

All her reluctance stemmed from his perspective as the father, not from what she wanted.

“I received the news the day you were injured. Yan Zhou and I asked about your condition, but we didn’t tell Shi Lan afterwards,” Qin Chengyuan said.

Su Miaoyi nodded, indicating her understanding.

Actually, if it weren't for Qin Chengyuan's position, the Municipal Bureau would need to report many things to him, and she hoped he wouldn't know. In this kind of situation, her family would only feel heartache and worry.

She didn't want to.

"It'll be done soon, so don't tell her," Su Miaoyi said.

Qin Chengyuan nodded: "Is it safe to live here?"

“I’ll be found no matter where I go,” Su Miaoyi said. “This is the third place I’ve moved to, and I don’t want to move anymore. The security here is already top-notch. And with the increased security at my residence, they’ll probably lead me to another place, just like this time.”

Qin Chengyuan frowned slightly: "The surrounding surveillance facilities need to be improved, and security needs to be strengthened."

"Don't worry, I'm a super fighter."

"We can't let our guard down, we need to be even more careful," Qin Chengyuan said.

"it is good."

Qin Chengyuan looked at her and said, "You'd better not just give me empty words every time."

Su Miaoyi smiled slightly, pursing her lips.

Qin Chengyuan snorted, paused, and asked, "Do you remember Lu Xian?"

"I remember some things," Su Miaoyi said, and began to complain, "He always calls me a nepotism hire."

Qin Chengyuan looked at her.

Su Miaoyi frowned, her expression full of dissatisfaction and anger: "He said that I'm popular in the Municipal Bureau because my father is Qin Chengyuan, and everyone wants to curry favor with me. Moreover, he rejects any method I propose. He always finds various reasons to scold me. Others can do the same thing without any problems, but I always get scolded. He always tells me to get out of the Municipal Bureau."

Qin Chengyuan looked at her angry expression: "You never used to talk about these things at home. Every time I asked you how work was, you always said it was fine."

Su Miaoyi pursed her lips, then sighed heavily: "Being young means you don't know any better! If I had told you earlier, you might not have been scolded, and you might not have had to write so many self-criticisms."

"You can only say that," Qin Chengyuan laughed. "I know you too well."

Su Miaoyi laughed: "If I go to you for everything and ask you to solve everything, it makes me seem so incompetent. Wouldn't that really make me like what Lu Xian said? Young and ambitious, just starting out in the workplace, full of enthusiasm, it's the time to prove myself and make a name for myself. I also want to rely on myself."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Qin Chengyuan and asked, "What would you have done if I had told you back then?"

"Me?" Qin Chengyuan said deliberately, "pretend you didn't hear me."

Su Miaoyi pouted in disbelief: "You can say that all you want, but I know you too well."

Qin Chengyuan laughed.

Su Miaoyi smiled as well.

"So how did you discover Lu Xian back then?" she asked.

"The cult case you were involved in back then has never been solved, but it's still under investigation." Qin Chengyuan's expression turned serious. "At that time, you had already gone to carry out a mission. It was during the Spring Festival, and everyone was on holiday. Yan Zheng discovered some clues while visiting relatives with his parents and identified a location. He couldn't contact Lu Xian, so he and Zheng Qi took a few people and went there directly."

"When they got there, they ran into Lu Xian. At first, Yan Zheng and Zheng Qi didn't realize what was happening, thinking that Lu Xian had also discovered the location and gone there, but then Lu Xian suddenly made a move."

Su Miaoyi's eyes narrowed.

“Lu Xian also thought of it. Yan Zheng and Zheng Qi probably didn’t think of it at that moment, but they would eventually realize it. He had already been exposed, so he took action directly. Yan Zheng was shot by him,” Qin Chengyuan said. “He was in the emergency room for more than ten hours. The doctor said he was lucky to be alive.”

Su Miaoyi clenched her teeth and swallowed the sore throat.

So what she saw and heard in the video, the line "I can even be ruthless to my brothers who have risked their lives for me," was referring to Zhuang Yanzheng.

No wonder Zhuang Yanzheng didn't want to bring it up.

He was the one who faced Lu Xian's betrayal most directly.

“Where would he go if he wasn’t in Jinghai?” Su Miaoyi asked. “Have we heard anything from him in the past few years?”

“No,” Qin Chengyuan said. “Ever since Yan Zheng was injured, he ran away, and there has been no news of him for the past few years.”

Su Miaoyi was silent for a moment before asking, "The city bureau's system is missing a list of orphanages. Could it be related to him?"

　Goodnight everybody
