Chapter 269: Chapter 237: Regretting Being Reborn as a Human

"Hello, please show your identification."

At ten o’clock, a police car sped to the City Committee Mansion’s gate, where it was stopped by the armed guard, who came forward to check IDs.

The window of the patrol car rolled down, and Captain Zhang Sheng, sitting in the passenger seat, hastily took out his ID and handed it to the stationed armed guard, explaining, "I am Captain Zhang Guang from the third traffic police brigade. We are here to investigate a traffic accident."

The stationed armed guard gave Zhang Guang a somewhat skeptical glance, then took the ID and carefully examined it.

"May I ask whom you are looking for?"

After finishing the check, the armed guard handed the ID back to Zhang Guang, his mind filled with confusion—the City Committee Mansion was akin to the political backyard of Donghai, and residents here had some degree of influence in Donghai’s political circle. There had been police investigations into corruption cases in collaboration with relevant departments before, but it was their first time here for a traffic accident investigation.

"Wu Gang. He’s a driver in the household of Secretary Guan."

Zhang Guang said, his face downcast. The City Committee Mansion represented an existence he aspired to and looked up to. He had often fantasized about living there one day, or even just visiting to take in the atmosphere. Now that he had the opportunity to come here, it was to investigate a traffic accident involving the daughter of the former head of Donghai!

Although he was just a captain of a traffic police brigade, he knew that this matter was definitely not as simple as it seemed on the surface. He could end up as cannon fodder!

Under such circumstances, how could he not be depressed?

"Uh..."

Hearing Zhang Guang’s words, the stationed armed guard looked at him with a face full of shock as if to say: Are you out of your mind?

"A command from the leader, and subordinates break their legs running—it’s through fire and water we must go," Zhang Guang gave a wry smile, as if to clear up the confusion for the guard.

"Understood." The stationed armed guard smiled sympathetically, then said, "Please wait a moment."

As he spoke, he turned and walked to the guardhouse, picked up the phone, and dialed the number for Villa No.1.

"Hello, I’m the armed guard in charge of the gate. My name is Zhang Guang. There are two comrades from the traffic police brigade here to find Wu Gang for information regarding a traffic accident."

"Please wait a moment."

On the other end, the Guan Family’s housekeeper responded and then walked to the bedroom door of Guan Lin, knocked, and reported, "Miss, the armed guard at the gate called. There are two traffic police officers here to find Master Wu to investigate a traffic accident..."

"Tell them to go back where they came from, their leader will handle this matter."

As the only daughter of Guan Yi, Guan Lin had enjoyed numerous privileges from a young age, and now, as the Vice President of the Hong Ding Club and President of the Overseas Branch, her identity and status were significant. She arrogantly dismissed the idea of the traffic police coming to investigate the previous incident.

"Understood, Miss."

The housekeeper hastily acknowledged, then returned to the living room, picked up the phone, and conveyed Guan Lin’s exact words.

"I’m sorry, Captain Zhang, Secretary Guan’s daughter said that your leaders will take care of this matter, so please go back first," the stationed armed guard relayed Guan Lin’s words diplomatically.

"Thank you."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Guang promptly thanked them, his heart a mix of complex emotions. Guan Lin’s haughty attitude was tantamount to trampling on the law and the dignity of lower-level public servants, but on the other hand, it at least gave them an excuse to report back to their superiors without having to serve as cannon fodder.

...

As Zhang Guang and his subordinate were returning to the traffic police brigade, Su Liuli meticulously cleaned herself three times, changed into cotton pajamas, and curled up alone on her bedroom’s bed, hugging her knees with a somewhat dazed expression, as if she had become a different person, completely void of her usual liveliness.

"Buzz... Buzz..."

Suddenly, the buzzing sound of the phone vibration broke the silence of the bedroom, snapping Su Liuli out of her daze. She glanced at the phone on the bedside table unconsciously but did not answer it until it rang for the third time.

Mom.

With a single look, Su Liuli saw the caller ID on the screen.

Because Su Qin had agreed to Su Yuxin’s engagement to the Nanqinghong Crown Prince Lin Ao Feng, Su Liuli had stormed into Su Qin’s office and had a huge argument with her. Since then, she had returned the keys to the Land Rover that Su Qin had bought for her and had not been in contact with Su Qin for some time.

However—

Despite Su Qin never being quite the mother she should have been from Liuli’s childhood, despite Su Qin’s attitude toward Su Yuxin’s engagement to Lin Ao Feng making Su Liuli angry, deep down, Liuli still saw Su Qin as her mother. It was just that her prideful nature wanted Su Qin to take the initiative to admit her wrongs.

In such a state, after experiencing the worst nightmare of her life, suddenly seeing a call from her mother Su Qin, Su Liuli felt like an injured child seeing her parents, her sense of grievance spreading uncontrollably in her heart.

She answered the phone without hesitation!

"I heard you moved into Ao Xiang Villa, and you’re staying with that Ye guy?"

As soon as the call connected, Su Qin’s voice came through, not comforting Liuli as she had hoped, but instead questioning her in a cold and angry tone.

This stark contrast made Su Liuli feel inexplicably uncomfortable, the grievance within her growing even stronger. She bit her lip, wanting to share her recent ordeal, but in the end, she didn’t voice it and just quietly replied, "Yeah."

"Who told you to do that?" Su Qin’s tone was fraught with anger, almost roaring at Su Liuli.
