"Jiang Cheng, why are you looking for him? I didn't see him. "Wang Huasheng replied subconsciously.
When Wang Xue heard it, she was suddenly unhappy. She scolded in her heart, "This Jiang Cheng, I was injured, and he didn't even come to see me. He is such a bastard."
"Oh, it's nothing. I ended up staying with him last night. I wanted to ask if he was hurt."
"Ai, you are worried about this. Don't worry about it. That kid is now alive and kicking. Guo Lei called me just now and told me about last night's situation. Fortunately, Jiang Cheng was there, otherwise, Dad wouldn't be able to see you!" Wang Huasheng said as his emotions began to get agitated.
He was the one who brought up Wang Xue. Her mother passed away early and left her young daughter to him at a young age. Because Wang Huasheng was a policeman, he let Wang Xue be. When he went to work, he would leave his daughter at the kindergarten and pick her up after work.
Sometimes when he encountered a case and needed to work overtime, he would call the kindergarten teacher and ask her to help take care of the child for a few hours. After a long time, the kindergarten teacher was used to the working habits of this single father. Every day, he would bring Wang Xue directly to her house to cook for her and take care of her as his own child. Wang Huasheng would always go to the teacher's house to pick up his own child.
He remembered that Wang Xue often asked Wang Huasheng, "Where did your mother go?"
Whenever Wang Huasheng heard this question, he couldn't help but think of his deceased lover. In order to take better care of his daughter, Wang Huasheng thought about finding a stepmother for his child. Originally, according to his salary, it wasn't difficult to find a wife in that era. However, after the other party heard that he had a daughter, they didn't want to talk to him anymore.
Those who wanted to talk to him were all divorced single mothers with children. Wang Huasheng didn't trust this kind of people. What if they looked down on Wang Xue because of their child? So, with this mentality, Wang Huasheng didn't marry again in the past few years.
After Wang Xue grew up, she gradually understood her father's difficulties. Since then, she would never mention her mother. Every day after school, she would cook and eat by herself. Over the years, Wang Xue had developed a good cooking skill.
Now that twenty years had passed, her father's sideburns had begun to turn white. Wang Xue looked at her father's slightly old face and said to him, "Dad, it's okay. I'm lucky. I won't die. Mom is protecting me from above!"
Wang Huasheng cried. At this moment, the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open. Jiang Cheng stood at the door with a bouquet of flowers. He looked at the father and daughter with tears in their eyes and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry. I came at the wrong time. I will come in later!"
"Jiang Cheng, come here, I have something to tell you!" Wang Huasheng immediately stopped Jiang Cheng, who was about to go out, and shouted at him.
Jiang Cheng didn't know what Mayor Wang wanted to say to him, but he didn't dare to disobey. He had to bite the bullet and enter the ward, standing by the bed.
Wang Huasheng placed the flowers in Jiang Cheng's hands on the bedside table and reached out to hold his hand. Then, he reached out to hold his daughter's hand. Placing the two hands together, he said to Jiang Cheng in a serious tone, "Jiang Cheng, I'm old and can't protect Xue 'er anymore. From now on, I'll leave Xue' er to you. You must protect her well. Don't let her suffer any more harm. This is the second time she's been injured because of you."
Jiang Cheng panicked. What does Mayor Wang mean by this? Is he looking for me to be his son-in-law? He already had a girlfriend.
He wanted to speak, but he was stopped by Wang Huasheng. Wang Huasheng continued to ask, "I ask you. Are you willing to protect my daughter for a lifetime?"
Jiang Cheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva and replied awkwardly, "Mayor Wang, what are you saying? I already have a girlfriend!"
Wang Huasheng waved his hand and said, "If you have a girlfriend, you can split them. Besides, you aren't married yet. How can you decide on your marriage so early? Besides, I just asked you to protect her. I didn't ask you to marry Xue 'er!"
When Jiang Cheng heard this, he was puzzled and said, "Damn it, you already said that you want me to protect your daughter for a lifetime. Isn't it obvious that you want me to marry her? If I don't marry her, am I supposed to be a mistress for a lifetime? This is obviously impossible.
Wang Xue, this girl, is so stubborn. She definitely can't get along with me. If they really struggle to stay together, the house will be like a battlefield.
When Wang Xue heard that her father actually said this to Jiang Cheng, her whole face turned red in an instant. She pulled her father's hand and said, "Dad, what are you talking about? I don't want his protection. I can protect myself. If you say these ugly words again, I will kick you out!"
Wang Huasheng was rebutted by his daughter. He suddenly felt that what he said just now was indeed a bit too much. He said awkwardly, "Oh, uh, that, Xiao Jiang, don't take what I said just now to heart. I was just saying it. However, I still hope that you can help my daughter on a daily basis. She has a girl's body, but she has a boy's ambition. She always wants to be a famous China police officer. She is always on the front line. Even my words as the mayor don't work!"
The sweat on Jiang Cheng's forehead fell again. He didn't know how to answer the mayor's question, so he could only be silent.
The atmosphere suddenly seemed a bit awkward. Wang Xue said to Wang Huasheng with a red face, "Dad, you should go to work!"
When Wang Huasheng heard this, he looked at his daughter on the hospital bed and looked at Jiang Cheng. He suddenly smiled and said, "Oh, okay, I will go now. Xue Er, you take care of your body here. Dad will come to see you again tonight!"
"Come on, I know you well. You will definitely have this dinner tonight. At that time, you will call to say that you are busy and that you are not free. It's fine. Just go. I am used to it!" Wang Xue didn't give face to her father, even though he was the mayor.
Jiang Cheng looked at the father and daughter and laughed in his heart, "It turns out that Mayor Wang's usual pressure is all an act. In his daughter's heart, he is a very unpunctual person. Sigh, it seems that no matter how powerful a man is, there will always be a woman behind him who can control him. This woman is either his wife or his mother."
Wang Huasheng left, and only Jiang Cheng and Wang Xue were left in the ward. One of them was on the bed, and the other was by the bed. They looked at each other. In the end, Wang Xue, who was thin-skinned, took the lead to admit defeat. She turned her head embarrassedly and looked at the flowers that Jiang Cheng had just sent over.
The flowers were a bunch of white lilies. Wang Xue looked at the white lilies, and her heart was sweet. She thought to herself, How did he know that I like white lilies? Could it be that he specifically went to find out?
When she thought of this, Wang Xue's heart was secretly happy. However, she didn't know that when Jiang Cheng went to the hospital to see a patient, he wouldn't buy any other flowers except white lilies. If he knew, Wang Xue would probably be happy for nothing.
For a while, the ward was quiet again. Wang Xue turned her back to Jiang Cheng and didn't talk. She looked at the lilies in front of her with a smile. Jiang Cheng was also embarrassed and didn't know what to say. Mayor Wang's entrustment was too heavy, and it almost put Jiang Cheng on the spot.
Jiang Cheng thought about it and coughed. "That, Wang Xue, is your injury okay?"
"It's not a big deal. The doctor said that the bullet hit the side of the waist, and it didn't hit any key parts. As long as I rest for two weeks, it will be fine. It will recover very quickly." Wang Xue replied absent-mindedly.
"Ahem, that's good. I think you shouldn't be a criminal police officer in the future. It's too risky. You might as well transfer to a civilian job. Criminal police, this kind of frontline job, isn't suitable for a girl like you." Wang Xue was anxious when she heard this.
You don't have to persuade me. This is my career. I won't let others make decisions for me. It was my dad who told you to tell me this, right? I know he won't give up. He wants me to be a virtuous lady and wants me to get married early. I'm not willing! "Wang Xue was anxious when she heard this." How is it not suitable? Being a criminal police officer has always been my dream. You don't have to persuade me.
"What are you thinking? This wasn't what Mayor Wang told me. It was my suggestion to you. Wang Xue, you are really working too hard. In this incident, I think eighty percent of it was because you investigated a key person, so they bribed an assassin to silence you. I think you really have to avoid it for a while." Jiang Cheng didn't give up and continued to persuade Wang Xue.
"Don't say it. I won't be knocked down so easily. This time, I have to find all of them and bring them to justice. Not only did they kill people, but they also used heavy weapons like bombs and submachine guns. If I catch them, I won't let them have a good time!" Wang Xue said solemnly. It seemed that she hadn't let go of what happened last night.
Jiang Cheng sighed. He couldn't do anything about Wang Xue's stubborn temper. He said a few meaningless words to her helplessly and told her to rest well. Then, he went out of the hospital alone.
As soon as he went out of the door, he received a call from Mino. Mino said on the phone, "Jiang Cheng, what happened to you? Why didn't you come back to sleep last night? You made me fall asleep waiting for you! "
Jiang Cheng touched the scar on his cheek. He didn't dare to tell Mino that he had a gunfight with someone in the park last night. If Mino saw the scar on his face, she might ask about it.
Jiang Cheng had to make up a reason and replied, "Oh, that. Last night, I found a place to drink with Linzi. I drank until I blacked out. I just woke up!"
