Section 1

I believe that everyone I encounter in this life is meant to appear, and not by chance. Unfortunately, time is merciless; when everything cannot be restarted, I am equally unable to wholeheartedly await those whom I am destined not to love from the very beginning

After coming out of Feng Jinxiao's office, He Rao continued her work as usual. As the end of the workday approached, Chai Yu came to her desk and said, "Team Leader, let's leave together later."

Han Palace, the premier club in G City, can be described as "luxury at its depths"

Xu Jiaoyang generously praised: "As expected of Officer He, your sense of time is truly remarkable"

Indeed, they are the new generation at the forefront of fashion, even celebrating a birthday in such an unconventional manner. No wonder she had repeatedly advised me to dress up for the occasion. He Riao looked down at his eternally unchanged combination of jeans and shirt, letting out a sigh

Xu Jiaoyang, aware of his gaffe, raised his hand to express his apology: "I know you are a protected first-class animal, and it won't happen again." He then introduced He Rao: "This is Chen An, President Chen. My good friend, He Rao." Finally, he lowered his voice to add: "Female special police officer"

He Rao Wei raised his head and said, "I just want to take advantage of my peak physical condition to contribute to the police force"

It was originally intended to create an opportunity for coexistence with Chai Yu, after all, given Yi He Rao's personality, he would not allow people to wait idly.

The clues have temporarily run dry

The Royal Court Hotel? Helao asked uncertainly, "Is it located inside the Yiyao Building?"

This is also the reason why they devise various "tricks" to torment new team members. They subject them to rigorous training to reduce the likelihood of injury and death in actual combat

Bastard? Helao's expression was innocent: "Don't forget that every time it's someone else who cleans up the mess after your drinking."

He was still engrossed in the case, and when he caught a glimpse of his movement out of the corner of his eye, he quickly extended his right hand to press against the back of the chair: "I have something to attend to at 7 o'clock, so I don't have much time"

He Rào raised his hand to adjust the mask on his face, neither affirming nor denying.

Because of Xiao Yi. Because I heard him say: "Even He Xi is not my first love"

As the only female member of the special forces, He Rao's physical fitness is beyond doubt; in addition, her control over emotions is also exceptional. However, that night, she found herself unable to sleep

Upon thinking of the invitation letter sent by Xiao Yi, He Rao was taken aback

He smiled but did not speak

Although fashion magazines are not the leaders in the media industry, the birthday party of Xu Jiaoyang, who holds the position of editor-in-chief, is of a very high standard. He Riao passed through the transparent lounge and arrived at the piano bar on the sixteenth floor, which had been reserved for the event. Amidst the clinking of glasses and the mingling of guests, she found herself a bit taken aback. It was only when a waiter presented her with a mask and a name tag that she realized Xu Jiaoyang's birthday party was planned as a masquerade ball

Xu Jiaoyang was in a good mood, and upon hearing the words, he was not angry at all; he just smiled and said, "That is not up to you."

Chen An removed his mask, revealing an elegant smile on his masculine features: "At last, I have the honor of meeting the dashing special police officer He Rao, as described by the blazing sun. It is a privilege to meet you." He extended his right hand, his demeanor refined, fully embodying the elegance of a distinguished gentleman

I see. Chai m.hetushu .com .com Yu scratched his short hair awkwardly and said: "If you don't leave soon, you will be late."

He Riao's attitude remained as indifferent as ever: "This is just the beginning; they should take further action next."

He leaned his body weight against the stair railing and said, "I am someone who needs to be on standby 24 hours a day; getting me drunk could lead to mistakes."

Love has never been an equation. The two ends of the emotional scale may be light or heavy, and the process of achieving balance inevitably involves a contest of hearts. Whether one succeeds or fails, it is not something that can rely on the strength of outsiders

"At the peak?" Xu Jiaoyang leaned on the stair railing with both hands, "You are already twenty-seven, how much longer can you hold on? Two years? Then switch to a clerical position, becoming a vase that others find insufficiently vibrant? He Rao, it is time for you to prepare the conditions for re-employment."

Xu Jiaoyang took a sip of red wine and sighed, saying: "Compared to the domineering CEO aura of General Manager Xiao Xing, I am indeed somewhat lacking. How could I possibly catch your eye"

However, hearing him say it in person is far more painful than merely "thinking" it

He Rao shook his head and chuckled lightly

At the age of forty, Chen An is a person who understands how to gauge situations well. In his view, Helao's act of not removing the mask signifies self-protection and caution. He skillfully takes a step back to avoid being too forward with the lady: "Jiaoyang, if Helao is willing and it does not violate police regulations, conduct a special interview about the police to satisfy the public's curiosity and attention towards the police flower"

He Riao playfully raised her elegant eyebrows

He Rao extended his hand and shook it lightly: "President Chen, you are too kind, I have long admired you."

This is a company

Perhaps it was her overly simple attire, or it could be that her aura as a special police officer was too prominent, wherever He Rao went, people instinctively made way for her

Wearing a mask, she searched for Xu Jiaoyang's figure amidst the flickering lights

Chai Yuqi would not easily give up: "It is difficult to get a taxi at this time. If I drive you, I can ensure that you won't be late. No need to thank me; this is what I should do as a subordinate."

Thus, there was no longer any insistence, "The young one will take leave first"

Xu Jiaoyang clearly did not believe that she had not discussed the matter of the magazine with Xing Tang: "Why are you so indifferent to the rumors about him having an illegitimate daughter?"

Indeed, only occasionally. Because the memories related to them are too few, so few that they cannot warm her heart at all. As a special police officer, she needs more positive emotions. This is also why the assault team must learn emotional management

He Rao shook his head: "You should go back and rest, as you need to get up early for training tomorrow"

As Chen An turned around, Xu Jiaoyang slightly raised his chin and indicated, "How is it? Quite gentlemanly, isn't it?"

We, the proud Yang, have a request that cannot be approved by m.hetushucomcom, right, Herau?" As he met Herau's sharp and restrained gaze, Chen An smiled: "You all continue your discussion, I will go over there and take a look.

What the child dreams of is not important; what matters is that this phone call every morning makes He Rao feel that the new day is filled with hope

It seems as if I can never escape his domain

He lowered his gaze at her: "Compared to the gentle and refined demeanor of Azheng, you are indeed lacking, no wonder you rejected his pursuit"

My mood inexplicably improved. He smiled gently and asked: "What did Nan Nan dream about her mother?"

Indeed, if even He Xi is not considered, what am I?

It seems that the word "discouragement" does not exist in his dictionary; otherwise, how could he remain so calm and composed after facing nine failures out of ten invitations? Lu Chengyuan could no longer bear to watch: "Your disciple is a typical example of being simple-minded and physically strong; he needs to strengthen his case study skills, He Rao."

Feng Jinxiao furrowed his brows slightly: "If possible, I hope to eliminate any possibility that my subordinates may encounter danger"

Incongruous. However, it is what it is, so I shall make the best of it

He Rào detected the concern in his words: "Master, do not worry."

Herao could not help but ask one more question: "Is the library open to the public?"

Feng Jinxiao hesitated to speak

This brat is quite lucky. Lu Chengyuan glared at Chai Yu and said, "Treat me to a meal"

Due to the officer's title becoming the focus of public attention, He Rao expressed dissatisfaction with Xu Jiaoyang: "Do not publicly announce my identity as a police officer, as it does not benefit me."

Surprisingly, he is on the same path as Xu Jiaoyang. He Rao chuckled: "Northwest Road of the City, Han Palace Club."

He raised his wrist to check the time, "If we leave now and there is no traffic, we can arrive by 7:00."

It was somewhat complicated, and He Rao did not inquire further, merely expressing gratitude for her introduction and recommendation

Regardless of what transpired last night, today, He Rao remains Officer He.

Chai Yu delivered a series of punches and kicks to his back.

Chai Yu suddenly stood up, pretending to grab a chair to retaliate.

Lu Chengyuan raised an eyebrow and smiled: "Whether it is appropriate or not, unfortunately, you do not have the right to speak." Then, in his capacity as a leader, he patted him on the shoulder: "Work hard, I will be evaluating you during the next quarterly assessment."

Seemingly sensing her regret, the maid spoke at a moderate pace: "The upcoming Royal Court Hotel also features a library of this kind, which is not only twice the size of this one, but also has an elegant environment and a more comprehensive collection of books"

Ultimately, there was a lack of understanding, and Chai Yu surprisingly did not grasp the leader's intention: "Why? It's not you who selected the case for me; if you want to invite someone, it should be our team leader." After saying this, he moved a chair and sat down in front of He Rao: "Team leader, I am with you and - the - book together."

Then, it has been two years. Upon encountering at the airport, everything returns to the starting point

On that day when I woke up and saw him sitting in the living room, I knew that it was no longer possible to withdraw completely from this unrequited love. From the moment he asked, "Was it me that night?" and from the first phone call he made, I understood that it was because he was moved.

Under the guidance of the attendant, He Rao arrived at the Han Palace Hall on the ninth floor. Surprisingly, what greeted him was not a scene of resplendent gold and jade, but rather an elegant and grand atmosphere. Especially as he passed by the library, the transparent bookshelves inside and the books that extended from wall to ceiling all contributed to an ambiance of tranquility and serenity that is hard to find in the city.

He Rao responded to her praise: "Thank you, this is the training that I, as a people's police officer, should possess."

He Riao did not say thank you, as there was no position to do so, "I have nothing else, I will leave first."

If it were not for He Rao's exceptional skills, she would not dare to act recklessly; Xu Jiaoyang would certainly take action.

Xu Jiaoyang clicked his tongue and said, "Will you die if you don't mention that bastard?"

He Rao advised like an older sister caring for her younger brother: "Drive slowly"

Xu Jiaoyang initially intended to provoke her with a few words, but suddenly changed his mind and shifted the topic: "The matter of the weekend journal being suspended must have originated from Xing Tang, right?"

Xu Jiaoyang, dressed in a red strapless evening gown, easily spotted her and instantly raised her voice: "Officer He, I am here"

Chai Yu was not at all embarrassed by the rejection: "Then I will wait for you"

In the parking lot of the Han Palace Club, Chai Yu reluctantly said, "I will wait for you here, Team Leader."

It turns out that this Han Palace Club is also one of his properties

He Riao noticed his frowning gesture: "Xu Jiaoyang, the editor-in-chief of the fashion magazine you have met, it is her birthday today, and the magazine has arranged a party for her."

The results of the dagger examination came out quickly. In addition to confirming that the substance on it was indeed human blood, there were no matching blood types in the DNA database. Upon reviewing the community surveillance footage, it was as Feng Jinxiao had anticipated; there was an anomaly in the surveillance system that day, and it was under repair from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM, resulting in a loss of footage during that time period

Feng Jinxiao believes that she has the ability to handle unexpected situations on her own, "I will remind him on that side."

Chai Yu appeared somewhat surprised

Editor Xu gritted his teeth and said, "You wait!"

If the other party is targeting me, it is not necessary for them to strike at my residence. Creating an accident to disrupt our reconnaissance direction is also a possibility. He Rào still had the mood to joke: "There is a movie that depicts murder using the guise of an accident, just like a real accident."

Chai Yu childishly saluted and said: "At your command"

He Rao heard that the Han Palace Club only serves member guests, and the membership fee is 150,000 RMB. Such luxurious entertainment expenses are certainly not affordable for ordinary people. He Rao expressed his amazement at the fashion magazine's extravagant gesture of celebrating Xu Jiaoyang's birthday.

Your understanding of me is evidently insufficient

Lu Chengyuan picked up the folder and gave him a blow to the back of the head: "A child who cannot be taught!"

A sleepless night

Such a lack of confidence is unlike you

Although Xu Jiaoyang had this thought early on, she, well aware of the dangers of the police profession, would not easily agree. "The unit that He Rao is in is not an ordinary special police team. To conduct a special interview with her, my esteemed president, it requires multiple levels of approval."

Feng Jinxiao's intention is also to observe the changes quietly: "Pay attention to travel safety, and try to avoid going out alone at night. Moreover, Chai Yu's suggestion is worth considering. After all, the security measures of the Special Police Apartment are superior.

I am grateful to Lixing in my heart. It was Lixing's timely intervention that salvaged the situation; otherwise, he would have lost his life due to my mistake

He Rao began to organize the case: "You are not on the way, I will take a taxi"

Result

Xu Jiaoyang cannot comprehend her mindset of viewing the police force as her home: "The police force does not exist solely for you, yet you are the only woman; even without you, cases can still be handled."

He Ruan candidly stated: "I want to see the case studies, I will leave later"

In this day and age, those who can take action should not merely speak

The maid nodded and shook her head: "The geographical location is correct. However, it is not located inside the building; rather, the current Yiyao Building is the future Royal Court Hotel."

The intoxication suddenly dissipated, and He Rao turned around: "You should go ask him."

It is known that with her keen insight and the essential gossip spirit required for magazine work, she will not easily give up

Xu Jiaoyang laughed triumphantly: "Let's see if you dare to mock me again." After saying this, he helped her out of the piano bar and into the corridor outside to rest

I had never felt jealousy until he fought for He Xi with his life, and it was then that I felt sadness for the first time. On that day, upon receiving orders from my superiors, I took a helicopter to City A to carry out a reinforcement mission. When He Lin appeared in the optical sight, I was confident that I could save He Xi. But then he suddenly appeared, facing the bullet with his own body. In that moment, my vision suddenly blurred, and my index finger lost the strength to pull the trigger—his reaction was not driven by a man's instinct, but by love

At 6:30, Xu Jiaoyang called to remind He Rao not to be late, otherwise: "Regardless of whether you are drinking or not, you must first down three glasses when you arrive. No need to thank me, this is what I should do as a good friend."

She is merely the strength of one hand, while Chai Yu cannot even lift the chair with both hands. He admires He Rao's skills in his heart, yet he still does not concede to Lu Chengyuan: "Such underhanded tactics do not seem fitting for your position as deputy captain, do they?"

Does she have any premonition

The young waitress smiled and shook her head: "It is a membership system, madam"

Chai Yu looked around the parking lot and found that the cars parked there were either Porsches or Bentleys, high-end vehicles. In contrast, his little Great Wall was indeed too conspicuous. He naturally did not mind; confidence was something that young and reckless lads never lacked. However, he was concerned about embarrassing He Rao, even though his team leader had not thought in that direction at all

Chai Yu realized that she had a date, and upon confirming that the other party was a woman, his emotions naturally dissipated. "Where are you meeting your friend? I will take you there."

Xiao Yi, I have never expected an apology from you. Regardless of whom you have loved or to whom your feelings ultimately belong, for nine years, I have merely lived in my own world, occasionally remembering you.

I cannot agree with her obsession with alcohol, to which He Rao coolly responded: "I do not have such refined tastes"

On the day he left, what I saw was not merely a farewell embrace, but rather his reluctant parting. At the moment the plane took off, I thought I was crying, but in the end, I only told myself: Herau, there is no need to feel troubled anymore. The distance across the ocean makes our reunion in this lifetime seem uncertain.

Isn't this just to your liking? He Ruo smiled without any reservations: "He didn't arrange a candlelight dinner to celebrate your birthday, which indeed shows a lack of romantic understanding. However, with such a grand party, can't you be gracious just this once and not blame him for being dull?"

That industry has high demands for logical thinking and comprehensive knowledge; do you think I can achieve anything great with my limited wisdom?

Shutting down the computer, He Rao walked out of the room. In the early hours, beneath the sea of stars, she stood on the balcony, unrestrainedly expressing her innermost thoughts

His thinking is somewhat simplistic, but his performance in practical situations is acceptable. He Rào pointed to a stack of documents beside him: "I am selecting representative cases for him."

The maid smiled sweetly: "You need not be polite. The Royal Court Hotel and we are essentially one and the same."

At five o'clock in the morning, He Rao practiced as usual. At six thirty, she called Nan Nan on time. On the other end of the line, the child's tender voice asked: "Mom, did you dream of Nan Nan last night?"

He Rào is essentially a person who abstains from alcohol; after finishing two glasses of wine as if they were beverages, he soon felt intoxicated

In order to take revenge on He Rao for her sharp tongue, Xu Jiaoyang tricked her into drinking two glasses of wine

Xu Jiaoyang was no longer so worried: "You have a lawyer's qualification certificate, and with further studies later on, you can earn money just by speaking."

He nodded in agreement, "I have plans; once I step down from the front line, I will find a way to make a living."

Xu Jiaoyang wanted to splash the wine on her face, "I knew that day you were the one who tipped him off."

The Han Palace is located within the Imperial View Building, occupying twelve floors. The decor reflects a luxurious palace style, with exquisite ornaments visible throughout, which are said to be the private collection of the Han Palace's owner

Like a fish drinking water, one knows best the warmth and coldness of their own experience
