“Can I help?’ Yin Tao knew that Su Ning was a famous forensic science professor, but she didn’t expect Su Ning to have to go back to the university to give lectures.
“There’s no need. I’m almost done.” Su Ning looked at Yin Tao’s smiling face and asked, “Why? Has there been progress in the case that Captain Feng’s team is in charge of?”
Yin Tao nodded and briefly explained Meng Heng’s case to Su Ning.
Seeing that Yin Tao was so excited, Su Ning couldn’t help but tease, “Xiaotao, I think you have what it takes to be a police officer. Being a forensic doctor alone is a waste of your talent. Why don’t you talk to Chief Wang in the future and become a police officer instead?”
“Master, do you think I’m not qualified to be a forensic doctor?” Yin Tao knew that Su Ning was deliberately teasing her and feigned anger.
“Of course you are qualified. Who in the entire branch would dare say that you’re not qualified?” Su Ning gently patted Yin Tao’s shoulder. “You’re already very famous. Before long, you would be able to excel even if you are on your own without me.”
“That’s hard to say. I have the guts to take chances and go all out only because I know I have your backing. If you really let go, I’m afraid I wouldn’t dare to do so much.”
Yin Tao meant every word she said. No matter what views and opinions she had, as long as Su Ning was around, she knew he would be acting as her gatekeeper. If it weren’t for Su Ning, Yin Tao wouldn ‘t be as confident as she was now to freely speak her mind.
“You don’t have to worry, I’m still a few years away from retirement.”
Su Ning smiled and thought of his cousin, who had just reported for work He asked Yin Tao, ‘Xiaotao, have you seen Su Yan? She should already have reported at the branch for her internship.”
‘Yes I have. Master, haven’t you seen her at the police station?”
Su Ning shook his head helplessly and explained to Yin Tao, “That girl said that she wants to rely on her own capabilities. She won’t even meet me as she’s worried that everyone will give her special treatment because of me.”
Yin Tao thought of the first time she met Su Yan and felt that her worries were unfounded. Everyone in the police station knew about her relationship with Su Ning.
“Su Yan is quite skilled and capable. She’s in the same team as Ji Yu now, and she’ll have many opportunities in the future.”
Yin Tao felt that with Su Yan’s straightforward personality and her good physique, she should be able to get along well with the other police officers at the station.
“It’s not that I have great aspirations for her career.”
Su Nings expression turned a little gloomy, and his tone became heavier. “Actually, Su Yan has had a tough life. Her parents, my aunt and uncle, passed away when Su Yan was in primary school.”
Yin Tao didn’t expect that Su Yan went through so much. Looking at how sad Su Ning looked, Yin Tao felt a little sorry.
“Su Yan was raised by her grandparents. Although everyone dotes on her and takes extra care of her, it’s inevitable that there may be some oversights.”
Su Ning wanted to take extra care of Su Yan, but she had an especially strong personality. She wanted to be self-reliant in everything, so Su Ning couldn’t interfere too much with her choice.
“Su Yan is very outstanding. I heard from Xiaoxia that Su Yan’s results in the police academy are especially good.” Yin Tao didn’t want to show her sympathy for Su Yan. She understood that what Su Yan really wanted was everyone’s approval.
“That’s right, but she’s a girl after all. It’s still a little dangerous to be a detective.” Su Ning actually didn’t want his cousin to be a detective, but Su Yan was very opinionated and wouldn’t listen to his advice. Su Ning could only let her come to the police station for an internship. Su Ning would be more at ease if he kept her close.
“Master, don’t be so old-fashioned. So what if she’s a girl? I don’t see why Su Yan wouldn’t excel. As long as she is passionate about it, she will definitely succeed.
“If it had really been her passion, that would have been fine too.” Su Ning was clearly in a difficult position. He sighed and explained to Yin Tao, “Su Yan has always been suspicious of her parents’ accident, that is why she wanted to be a detective.”
“Is there anything suspicious about her parents’ deaths?” Because of Xu Shan’s case, Yin Tao was now skeptical about any death cases that were classified as misadventures.
“A traffic accident.” Su Ning shook his head and said, “According to police investigations, there wasn’t foul play. Perhaps Su Yan hasn’t been able to come to terms with it.”
“Master, were you still in school at that time?” Yin Tao felt that since Su Ning was much older than Su Yan. He should have had a more accurate judgment about Su Yan’s parents’ accident..
