Chapter 45: Chapter 41 The Title of Righteous and Courageous Behavior Chapter 45: Chapter 41 The Title of Righteous and Courageous Behavior After Jiang Ning said that, Qi Xingzhou really did let go of his hand.
Seeing him so obedient, Jiang Ning couldn’t help but feel more fond of him.
During their brief interactions, Qi Xingzhou, apart from being reticent, seemed no different from any other person to Jiang Ning.
He was simple, kind, and obedient, certainly many times better than some people mixing in society outside. Take the Huo family Members, for example; compared to the good-hearted Qi Xingzhou, they seemed like the ones who were actually sick.
With her wrist freed, Jiang Ning waved to Qi Xingzhou before leaving.
Qi Xingzhou stood in front of the villa’s gate, subconsciously wanting to follow, but remembering what Jiang Ning had just said, he obediently stayed put, watching as Jiang Ning drove her car out of the garage and quickly disappeared from his sight.
He stood at the entrance to the villa, his expression as calm as before, but those crystal-clear, colored-glaze-like eyes stared unblinkingly in the direction where Jiang Ning’s car had vanished. Without any other expression on his face or uttering a word, he still somehow gave off an air of extreme dejection, like a large dog that has been left alone at home by its owner.
Ji Shuang called out to him several times, but he didn’t respond.
Standing a bit farther away, Ji Shuang captured the scene of Qi Xingzhou standing by the gate and shared the picture in the “Loving Family” group chat.
Ji Shuang: After Jiang Ning left, look at Zhouzhou [Image.jpg]
Qi Jingshan: Not bad, he actually knows how to feel sad.
Qi Chen: Like a wistful rock longing for its wife.
When Jiang Ning drove out from the Qi Family Villa, she had said she had things to do in the afternoon, and it wasn’t just an excuse to fob off Ji Shuang, she really did have things to do.
After Jiang Ning caught He Mingxu the last time, the sixteen Little Goldfish had already been claimed by a victim’s family.
Zhang Lang messaged Jiang Ning, asking if she had returned.
At the time, this robbery case had shocked the nation, and the victims published a reward notice, offering Twenty Thousand Yuan as a reward. Although many years had passed, as long as the case remained unsolved, the reward would always be valid.
Mr. He and Ms. Liu, the descendants of the victims, rushed to Capital City Public Security a few days ago to claim the Little Goldfish, and they particularly wanted to meet Jiang Ning in person. At that time, Jiang Ning had already left for Fuhua Town to apprehend another criminal, so she declined.
Although they didn’t meet, before Mr. He and Ms. Liu left the Public Security office, they specifically handed over an honor banner, a letter of thanks, and a large check to Zhang Lang, asking him to pass them to Jiang Ning.
Zhang Lang messaged Jiang Ning: In addition to the honor banner, thank you letter, and a large check from Mr. He and Ms. Liu, there’s also the bonus and certificate of honor our unit applied for you, they have arrived as well. Besides that, there’s a surprise waiting for you. By the way, if you don’t want to reveal your identity, remember to wear a hat and mask.
Jiang Ning didn’t know what the surprise Zhang Lang mentioned was, but she would have to collect these things sooner or later, so might as well do it today.
Before getting out of her car, Jiang Ning put on a hat and mask, covering herself up tightly.
Zhang Lang was waiting for her at the entrance of the police station.
Soon, Jiang Ning learned why Zhang Lang had asked her to wear a hat and mask, and she also found out what the surprise was.
In recognition of Jiang Ning’s bravery in capturing criminals twice and the positive impact it brought to society, Capital City Public Security had specially nominated her for the “Bravery in Righteousness” award, which also got approved.
Jiang Ning’s visit to the Public Security Bureau wasn’t just awaited by Zhang Lang; other officials were waiting for her as well.
Standing in the hall, Jiang Ning was presented with certificates of honor and a bonus by the director and other officials, one by one.
In front of everyone, a photographer was also there specifically to take photographs and record the event.
At the end, the photographer had everyone stand together and took a perfect group photo.
Jiang Ning, surrounded and standing at the central spot: “…”
