Detective: I, Cao Jianjun, started by arresting my brother-in-law.

"Chief, the instructor took the day off today, did you forget?"

Director Gao chimed in, "Director, what's the matter? Tell me..."

"What's the point of talking to you? Go get back to work."

The director rolled his eyes in annoyance and waved his hand, saying, "Xia Jie, come on, stop what you're doing..."

"Director!"

Xia Jie was staring blankly at the news when she heard the voice and reluctantly looked away: "What is it?"

"You... go buy some gifts, nutritional supplements, things specifically for pregnant women."

The director pointed to the time on his wrist: "Let's go to Jianjun's house and see Zhou Hui."

“No matter what, Jianjun went to carry out a mission. We are also police officers, so we should go and offer our condolences.”

Xia Jie was somewhat surprised: "Is...I going?"

"Yeah, the instructor's not here, so we..."

The director was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly realized something was amiss: "Never mind, well... well, it's too inconvenient for a grown man like me to go over like this, especially since Jianjun isn't even home."

"Xia Jie, you'll be alone. Take some things with you and go see Zhou Hui on behalf of our institute."

"Anyway, you know Zhou Hui, right? It'll be much more natural for you women to chat like this."

After the director finished speaking, he turned around and muttered, "This instructor is something else. He could have asked for leave earlier or later, but of all times."

Xia Jie stood there in a daze, nodding repeatedly.

She has never been to Cao Jianjun's house since he left Balihe.

I don't know why, but seeing Cao Jianjun's face in the news again made me think of the time I spent in the snowy forests of Northeast China.

She remembered being held in Cao Jianjun's arms and being dragged out of the cellar little by little.

I remembered that Cao Jianjun said he would take me to the provincial department.

In the blink of an eye, several months have passed.

"Xia Jie! What are you daydreaming about? Hurry up and go!"

Just as the young girl was experiencing first love, the director shouted over, startling Xia Jie so much that she turned and ran away.

162. Sister-in-law, let me have Brother Cao! [1st update, please subscribe]

Nine months.

Today marks the one-month mark of Zhou Hui's pregnancy.

My belly is bigger than I imagined, and I can vaguely see stretch marks on my abdomen.

His physique changed, and he gained weight.

I don't know how long it's been since I last wore makeup. Every day I simply tie my hair into a bun and occasionally go downstairs for a walk, supported by my older sister Zhou Cong.

Ten o'clock in the morning.

The two sisters returned after another stroll.

Zhou Hui supported her lower back with both hands and struggled to find a high chair to sit down, panting heavily.

"Ah, finally home, it's so hot..."

Zhou Hui smiled as she wiped the sweat from her brow and gently patted her large belly.

"You two little ones, come out quickly, Mommy really can't take it anymore!"

"Don't talk nonsense."

Zhou Cong poured a glass of water, brought it over, and placed it on the bar: "Xiao Hui, it's been almost four months since Jianjun left, hasn't it?"

"One more week, and it will be four months."

When talking about her husband, Zhou Hui's joyful smile gradually faded.

Although she has an optimistic personality and rarely shows negativity.

However, during the nine months of her pregnancy, Cao Jianjun spent very little time with her, in addition to the passing of her parents.

During the Lunar New Year, Zhou Hui couldn't see her husband, and his fate remains unknown. She is truly heartbroken.

The thought of her two unborn children not seeing their father after birth made her feel even worse.

It is said that childbirth is like a woman walking through the gates of hell, and Zhou Hui was also terrified.

But she was completely helpless and could only grit her teeth and bear it, secretly praying that her husband would come back soon and everything would be alright.

"okay!"

Zhou Cong, the older sister, saw through her younger sister's thoughts and reached out to wipe away the tears from the corner of her eyes: "Jianjun will definitely come back, don't worry."

Ding Dong!

Ding-dong-

As soon as he finished speaking, the doorbell rang.

The two sisters were both surprised, and Zhou Cong laughed on the spot: "See, I told you, it must be Jianjun who's back."

After saying that, he got up and went to open the door.

Zhou Hui just smiled. She knew it couldn't be Cao Jianjun, but she hoped it was, so she awkwardly turned to the side and stared straight at the door.

The door opened with a click.

Xia Jie, dressed in a police uniform, stood at the door, carrying large and small bags of nutritional supplements.

"Xia Jie?"

Zhou Hui was immediately surprised: "Hey, what brings you here?"

"Sister-in-law, I've come to see you."

After Xia Jie entered the room, she greeted Zhou Cong, placed a large pile of gifts on the dining table, and gave Zhou Hui a big hug.

"Sister-in-law, I'm so sorry, I haven't been to your house since after the New Year."

"Your little one in your belly is almost here, isn't it? Come on, let me hear it..."

As she spoke, Xia Jie quickly bent down and pressed her little head against Zhou Hui's belly, pausing symbolically for a few seconds.

the end.

Xia Jie stood up, smiling mischievously, and said, "Sister-in-law, I heard it. These two little ones said they must be as beautiful as their mother."

"Haha, you little rascal, you've got honey on your lips, haven't you?"

Zhou Hui smiled and took Xia Jie's hand, like two sisters: "Tell me, what have you been busy with lately? Why are you only coming to see me now?"

"Um……"

Xia Jie pouted, looking thoughtful, and said, "Actually, I was embarrassed to come see my sister-in-law."

"Why are you embarrassed?"

Zhou Hui was bewildered: "Even without your brother Cao, we're still sisters. Hey, why did you suddenly decide to come see me today?"

"Sister-in-law, didn't you... see the news?"

Xia Jie's pretty face was full of question marks as she looked at Zhou Hui and then at Zhou Cong.

The two sisters looked at each other, puzzled: "No, what news are you looking at?"

"Hey! I knew you guys wouldn't know..."

Xia Jie gave the two of them a playful glare, took out her phone from her pocket, and found the news video of the drug bust in Tazhai this morning.

After opening it, he placed the phone in Zhou Hui's hand.

"Sister-in-law, look closely, look carefully..."

Zhou Hui was confused, blinking as she looked at Xia Jie, then at her phone.

As the news video played, Zhou Hui gradually realized the problem.

The reporter kept mentioning unprecedented drug enforcement and the Tazhai incident, and Zhou Hui subconsciously thought of Cao Jianjun, a hint of nervousness flashing across her face.

The news footage then cut to the scene in Tazhai, where Cao Jianjun appeared on camera.

at once.

Zhou Hui's eyes immediately reddened.

After being missing for four months, more than a hundred days, without any news, Cao Jianjun saw this for the first time in this way, and the suppressed longing instantly broke down.

"Sister-in-law, don't cry, don't cry..."

Seeing Zhou Hui's eyes brimming with tears, Xia Jie panicked and quickly grabbed a tissue to comfort her.

"Sister-in-law, I'm here today to tell you some good news. Stop crying, or you'll upset the baby."

"Brother Cao will probably be back soon; their mission is over."

"Oh, sister-in-law, don't cry, don't cry, let's not cry."

Xia Jieyue tried to comfort her, but Zhou Hui paused the news video and couldn't stop crying as she stared at Cao Jianjun's face.
