Chapter 713: When I Grow Up, I’ll Marry You

"Hello, I’m Zeng Xiaomei from the municipal bureau, here to pick up a package."

Until she reached the newsstand, Zeng Xiaomei still hadn’t noticed anyone particularly suspicious. With no other choice, she turned her head and somewhat tentatively addressed the newsstand’s owner.

"Are you Officer Zeng?"

Initially busy, the owner of the newsstand paused his activities and turned around upon hearing Zeng Xiaomei’s words. He looked at her with a hint of confusion and said.

Hmm?

Seeing the expression of the newsstand’s owner, Zeng Xiaomei’s mind wavered. Could it be that this matter was real? Not a prank?

As the thought crossed her mind and seeing the owner’s doubtful gaze possibly questioning her identity, she quickly raised her police officer badge and gestured forward, saying, "I’m Zeng Xiaomei, here’s my badge."

"Oh, it really is you. Sorry, Officer Zeng, I was entrusted by someone to do this favor; this is your package."

The newsstand’s owner carefully checked the police badge, and after confirming there was no mistake, he embarrassedly smiled at Zeng Xiaomei, turned around to take out a not-so-large package, and handed it to her.

"No problem."

Zeng Xiaomei hadn’t expected to actually receive something. Looking at the package, she was momentarily taken aback. After a while, she came back to her senses, accepted the package with a smile, and looked at him.

"Officer Zeng is really incredible. So young and so pretty, and already a senior officer," the newsstand’s owner said, unable to hide his admiration and awe.

Hmm?

Complimenting her for being so young to be an officer was reasonable, but what did he mean by being so pretty that she became a senior officer?

Zeng Xiaomei’s brows furrowed slightly, but at this moment, she had no inclination to argue with him. She was very anxious to find out what was inside the package, whether it truly contained the evidence as that person had claimed.

After flashing a slight smile at the newsstand owner, she turned and walked toward her police car.

Watching Zeng Xiaomei leave the newsstand with the package, Xiao Yi breathed a long sigh of relief. He had indeed been worried that Zeng Xiaomei wouldn’t come, wouldn’t go to the newsstand to pick up the item.

He had even prepared to call her again if necessary.

Handing over these materials to Zeng Xiaomei was a decision he had made after careful consideration, not just because she was from the Zeng family and would scrutinize the case seriously. In fact, he was very confident about the materials he had; he believed that no matter whose hands they ended up in, the case would be investigated, and the Li Family would surely be doomed.

Zeng Xiaomei might not be very friendly to him, but from a certain perspective, that was also for his good. Her frustration arose from her concern. Moreover, and most importantly, after observing her for a period, Xiao Yi believed that Zeng Xiaomei was essentially a good police officer. At the very least, her integrity was unquestionably sound. Entrusting her with this case should pose no problem...

Another point was that Zeng Xiaomei was not only the sister of Xiaoxiao, that little girl but also the junior sister of Situ Qingfeng. Before Situ Qingfeng left, he repeatedly told Xiao Yi to look after her if he got the chance...

No matter how you looked at it, she was the most appropriate person to be credited with this achievement...

Well, my mission is accomplished...

Having done what he should, and with everything progressing as he had anticipated, a relaxed expression appeared on Xiao Yi’s face. He prepared to leave the area and go home for a good rest.

He had been busy almost non-stop these past few days, and it had been quite some time since he had rested well and relaxed.

"Ah!"

However, just as Xiao Yi was about to turn and leave, a piercing scream suddenly came from the street ahead.

Upon hearing the scream, his steps, which were already lifting, came to an abrupt halt. He looked in the direction of the sound.

The sight made his expression change drastically. He saw on the narrow street ahead, a small car that seemed to have lost control. It was speeding excessively, far exceeding the street’s limit, and headed straight for a woman pulling a child along. Both the woman and the child, paralyzed by shock, stood motionless in the middle of the road.

Onlookers couldn’t help but let out cries of alarm. Some of the more timid even covered their eyes, unwilling to witness the impending catastrophe.

In the blink of an eye, without a moment’s thought, Xiao Yi’s figure suddenly shot forward.

"Thump..."

The person inside the car seemed to have completely frozen, with a blank mind, forgetting even to turn the wheel, letting the car charge straight ahead. It crashed violently into a minibar in front, emitting a solid thump, then came to a stop.

"Ah!"

Hearing the fierce crash, all the onlookers covered their mouths, their eyes wide with shock. Some people couldn’t even bear to look toward the middle of the road, or rather, no one dared to look at the middle of the road, fearing to see a bloodied mess.

Dazedly staring at the small car slamming into the minibus, trembling a few times before coming to a complete standstill, Zeng Xiaomei was utterly stunned. She had stopped in her tracks upon hearing the sound, but by the time she saw the scene clearly, it was already too late. Before she could even react, the car had already hit.

Could it be that the woman just now and the cute little girl had just died like this?

In Zeng Xiaomei’s mind, the faces of the woman and little girl who were standing in the middle of the road just before suddenly surfaced; her heart involuntarily trembled. She remembered the slight bulge of the woman’s stomach—there must have been another child...

Three lives lost with one death...

Despite being a police officer for so many years and having seen the loss of life many times before, being fully aware that such accidents indeed happened every day in this world, her heart still ached suddenly.

"Thank you, big brother!"

"Thank you, young man, thank you so much."

Just as Zeng Xiaomei’s heart was experiencing a sharp pain, suddenly, a clear and adorable voice, along with a voice filled with gratitude, reached her ears.

She looked involuntarily in the direction of the voice.

Upon looking, her expression immediately froze, and an indescribable joy surged up from the depths of her heart.

She saw the woman whom she thought had been hit by the car and possibly mangled, along with the cute little girl, standing safely not far in front of her, endlessly thanking a young man. The adorable little girl no longer had the fright on her face, and her cute little face with eyes like twinkling stars was looking up at the young man.

They were unharmed! Unharmed!

What a relief!

Tears began to well up in Zeng Xiaomei’s eyes.

"Don’t mention it. As long as you’re all right, that’s good. Next time you cross the road, make sure to be careful. Don’t jaywalk again, and don’t rush the light. When you see the green light beginning to blink, stop and wait for the next light. When crossing the road, always use the crosswalk, got it?" said Xiao Yi as he looked at the cute little face before him, unable to resist touching her face gently and smiling softly.

His heart secretly rejoiced that his reaction had been quick, as even a slight delay might have meant that this adorable little girl would never see tomorrow’s sunlight.

"I understand, young man, please rest assured. I’ll be more careful in the future," said the woman next to her, her face flushed with shame as she repeatedly promised Xiao Yi, regretting her decision not to walk to the crosswalk to cross the street and instead follow others in front.

"Good, that’s also being responsible for your own life," seeing the woman truly realized the danger of her previous actions, Xiao Yi showed a relieved expression on his face. After checking that the color of her complexion didn’t indicate any harm to her pregnancy, he was put at ease. He smiled, bidding farewell, "Alright, since there’s nothing wrong with you, I’m reassured. I’ve got to go, goodbye!"

"Young man, you saved our lives. Why don’t I treat you to a meal..." the woman said, with a look of gratefulness and a hint of obligation.

"No need, haha, I’m in a bit of a hurry. Maybe some other time, haha," Xiao Yi laughed and, without taking it to heart, turned and glanced over at the adorable little girl gazing up at him with big eyes and waved his hand, "Little sister, see you."

"Big brother, you saved my life. When I grow up, I want to marry you!" shouted the little girl suddenly, looking at Xiao Yi’s retreating back with an infantile voice.
