Early the next morning, Lin Xiaoyan woke up and turned on her phone to ask Captain Ma about last night’s situation.
However, when she learned that Lu Xiaoyu’s resuscitation had failed this morning, her mood instantly sank to the bottom.
"Sigh"
Lin Xiaoyan sighed and got out of bed with a gloomy expression.
Upon arriving at the company, she heard people discussing this morning’s news.
"How can there be such a heartless mother in this world! She actually beat her daughter to death!"
"Yeah, when I first saw the news, I couldn’t believe it, it’s so dumbfounding!"
"I just saw the hospital interview, and the nurse and doctor said that the girl had no will to survive. Sigh, with such a family, maybe death is a kind of relief."
Hearing this, Lin Xiaoyan sighed heavily in her heart. This was also the feeling of powerlessness that rose within her after "seeing" those scenes when she encountered the female delivery driver last night.
Having such a family is the girl’s tragedy, others can’t save her, and in such cases, even if reported to the police, they can only mediate.
It’s similar to domestic violence, all belonging to internal family conflicts.
The only one who can save herself is herself.
If that girl was more ruthless, directly leaving that home, regardless of her family, she might have a chance of survival...
What a pity...
Lin Xiaoyan exhaled deeply and began working on her computer.
At this moment, Ai Lin came over and patted Lin Xiaoyan on the shoulder.
"Sister Lin?"
Ai Lin smiled at Lin Xiaoyan, "The month is almost over, how do you feel about working at the company this month?"
Lin Xiaoyan had a rough guess about some things, and she said, "Pretty good."
"The company will get back on track next month. I heard from the manager yesterday that external recruitment will start next month..."
"Sister Lin, what are you talking to Xiaoyan about?"
At some point, Susan suddenly appeared there, scrutinizing the two.
Seeing Susan, Ai Lin shot her a cold look and ignored her.
She nodded gently at Lin Xiaoyan, indicating for her to check her phone later.
Lin Xiaoyan nodded, "Okay, Sister Lin."
Ai Lin ignored Susan and turned back to her seat to work.
Susan looked at Lin Xiaoyan coldly and asked, "What did Sister Lin say to you?"
Lin Xiaoyan glanced at Susan, "Why should I tell you?"
"You!"
Ever since she was left speechless by Yang Lin in the elevator, Susan had been ignoring Lin Xiaoyan the past few days.
But last night, after work, she heard that the company was about to get back on track.
This also meant that her job was soon to be gone.
She just saw Sister Lin talking to Lin Xiaoyan, clearly about this matter!
Susan glared at Lin Xiaoyan and returned to her seat, full of anger.
After Susan left, Lin Xiaoyan’s typing paused for a moment, understanding what Sister Lin had just said, but...
She wasn’t sure whether to apply for this company.
If it were the old her, she would certainly prepare to apply without hesitation.
But now she’s joined the National Special Investigation Bureau and might often take leave in the future.
Under such circumstances, no company would allow its employees to take leave so frequently without reason.
In the evening after work, Lin Xiaoyan went straight to the police station. At noon, Captain Ma had messaged her asking her to visit the station in the evening.
Not knowing what had happened, Lin Xiaoyan left the company as soon as she finished work.
Susan noticed that recently Lin Xiaoyan had been leaving right after work every day. She glanced at her colleagues who hadn’t left yet and the manager’s office.
She couldn’t help but feel a secret joy.
When the manager comes out and sees her still working, his impression of her would surely be better than that of Lin Xiaoyan!
Then she’ll have a greater chance than Lin Xiaoyan to stay at the company!
Lin Xiaoyan had no idea about Susan’s thoughts, and even if she knew, she wouldn’t care.
After all, she’s no longer the person she used to be.
She has another job, another salary to receive.
"Xiao Lin is here, thank you for the milk tea!"
When Lin Xiaoyan entered the police station, the security personnel at the door immediately recognized her and thanked her.
Lin Xiaoyan nodded awkwardly, trying to hide her nervousness and embarrassment.
Entering the station, she found that everyone passing by greeted her.
Suddenly, Lin Xiaoyan felt the weather was too hot today, her face was about to burn up!
Thus, with a red face and a stiff expression, Lin Xiaoyan entered the police station.
"Captain, Xiao Lin is here!"
Zhang Ming saw Lin Xiaoyan’s figure and immediately shouted.
Instantly, everyone in the office looked over, their eyes fixed on Lin Xiaoyan.
Lin Xiaoyan: ...Don’t look at her like that!!!
Captain Ma noticed Lin Xiaoyan’s embarrassment and awkwardness, cleared his throat, and signaled everyone to behave.
The others also noticed Lin Xiaoyan’s awkwardness and remembered that her introduction mentioned a bit of social anxiety.
With this in mind, they immediately lowered their heads and continued their work.
Feeling all the gazes disappear, Lin Xiaoyan’s tense body relaxed a bit. She slightly lifted her head and walked towards Captain Ma.
"Captain Ma, you wanted to see me..."
Lin Xiaoyan asked softly.
Captain Ma pulled over a chair and gently asked Lin Xiaoyan to sit down.
Lin Xiaoyan sat down, and as she did, she let out a soft breath, though her body was still somewhat tense.
"Don’t worry, we’re all on the same side."
Captain Ma comforted her, then began to talk about why he had called Lin Xiaoyan there today.
"A team from Sea City Science and Technology University is soon going to Ugly Country for a competition.
This competition has a significant impact on our country."
Captain Ma continued, "This time our team will showcase newly researched..."
"In any case, this competition mustn’t go awry, so before they leave, we want you to meet them."
"Meet them?" Lin Xiaoyan looked at Captain Ma.
"Yes, use your superpower, and interact with each one of them to see if there’s any danger. If there is, the nation would rather forgo this opportunity than risk their safety..."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoyan understood.
"When should I go?"
"Tomorrow, I’ll pick you up in the morning."
"Alright."
Lin Xiaoyan, thinking there was nothing else, stood up to leave.
"Wait a moment, Xiao Lin, there’s one more thing." Captain Ma stopped Lin Xiaoyan and took out an envelope from a drawer.
The envelope was bulging.
"The El Hospital case has been wrapped up, and before Captain He left, he specially instructed me to push for your bonus to be issued..."
Lin Xiaoyan’s eyes widened, there’s a bonus?!
Captain Ma smiled at Lin Xiaoyan, "This is the police station’s bonus for you. You helped us solve a major case, so this is especially for you. It’s not much, only ten thousand, so don’t mind it!"
"I don’t mind! Not at all! I don’t mind in the least!" Lin Xiaoyan quickly said.
How could she mind!
She was too happy!
