After learning that Xiao Tian represented the Huaxia police and showed off his skills in front of that group of foreigners, Yang He had long thought of words to praise him, ready to host a grand banquet for the entire bureau when Xiao Tian returned. Who could have imagined this wait would last several months and almost resulted in permanent separation?

"After receiving the call from Director Bai at noon, we’ve been waiting here, and we actually managed to wait for you to return!" Saying this, Yang He walked up to Xiao Tian and started scrutinizing him from head to toe.

Seeing Yang He staring at him endlessly, Xiao Tian felt a chill in his heart and jokingly waved his hand, "Director Yang, I’m straight!"

"Hahaha!" Yang He laughed heartily, "You haven’t changed your habit of joking, that’s good, no major injuries!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Tian inwardly rolled his eyes. Yes, there were no visible injuries, but the wounds sustained in Japan once pushed him to the brink of death, nearly costing him his life!

Luckily, after enduring, Xiao Tian’s abilities advanced rapidly. He even approached the threshold of breaking through the Iron Chain Cross River.

At this moment, the tall and strapping Zhang Meng eagerly approached, excitedly.

"I said you couldn’t be dead, right? Hahaha, but you didn’t even call us all this time. Not cool!"

Xiao Tian smiled faintly, thinking at that time he didn’t know where he was floating, then apologized, "Sorry, the situation was special. I didn’t even have time to notify my family!"

When Zhang Meng first arrived in Shanghai City, the first officer he could say he interacted with was Zhang Meng. At that time, Zhang Meng even wanted to recruit him as a subordinate. Thinking of this made Xiao Tian laugh.

"Alright, alright, as long as you’re back. We’re hosting a banquet tonight! Xiao Tian, although we were very worried about you, the one most worried about you over these months was your beautiful mentor..." Yang He walked over and suddenly stopped halfway through his sentence.

Everyone quieted down. At this moment, Yu Ningxue, who had been holding back from speaking, finally couldn’t bear it and rushed towards Xiao Tian, crying. Before Xiao Tian could react, a soft, graceful body was already nestled in his embrace.

"Sob, sob... Where have you been these months? You worried me to death, you know?" Yu Ningxue clung tightly to Xiao Tian, as if afraid he would slip away again.

Very quickly, Yu Ningxue’s tears soaked through Xiao Tian’s clothes. Xiao Tian’s expression became somber, knowing well Yu Ningxue’s feelings.

"You just want to worry me to death..." Yu Ningxue lay on Xiao Tian’s chest, weeping uncontrollably, her body faintly trembling.

Xiao Tian’s face was full of guilt. During this period, national and family affairs crowded together, leaving him no room to breathe.

And thus he always forgot to contact Yu Ningxue, forgetting there’s someone who would be heartbroken for him.

Xiao Tian gently hugged Yu Ningxue, countless apologies transformed into an embrace.

"Alright!!"

Seeing the most renowned police flower in Shanghai City thrown into Xiao Tian’s arms, the crowd burst out cheering. Though Yu Ningxue was the goddess for everyone present.

But as the saying goes, beauty pairs well with a hero, for Yu Ningxue to like Xiao Tian, everyone could only feel one thing: respect!

Yang He too smiled helplessly, thinking Xiao Tian finally managed to win over our police flower!

Afterwards, Xiao Tian walked into the bureau amid the crowd’s embrace.

However, there were those rejoicing and those grieving, seeing Yu Ningxue unexpectedly throwing herself into Xiao Tian’s arms made Gong Xingteng, who had been staring coldly from the side, infuriated, his face showing great frosty expression. An unprecedented sense of defeat surged inside him, the pride of being the Gong family’s second young master seemed shattered beneath Xiao Tian’s feet.

Who would have thought that the person who hit him during the day was also a policeman in Shanghai City, and once again the woman he had set his eyes on threw herself at him?

At this moment, in Gong Xingteng’s eyes, there was only envy and hatred, nothing else!

"Heh, since you’re also a cop... great, heh, great!" Gong Xingteng thought maliciously, already planning to make Xiao Tian pay a heavy price.

At this moment, Bai Tao was at the West Bureau’s desk dealing with the files regarding the airborne deputy director Gong Xingteng. Since the employment papers required signatures and opinions from the directors of several branches, Bai Tao dared not be negligent and directly rushed to the West Bureau.

Word had already come from above that a prince from the capital was arranged in their Shanghai City and directly given the rank of deputy director, even someone like Xiao Tian was just a regular officer when he initially arrived in Shanghai. Gong Xingteng was directly appointed as deputy director from above, and no questions were allowed, full of mystery. Such situations rarely happen, but when they do, it signifies the person’s identity is definitely out of the ordinary! Especially coming from the capital, Bai Tao didn’t dare hesitate. He directly ordered the officers from the West City Branch, the closest to the airport, to pick up Gong Xingteng.

Yet despite this, Bai Tao still harbored quite some resentment, originally this deputy director position was reserved for Xiao Tian. Furthermore, due to previous lessons from Ce Shi, Bai Tao innately harbored resistance towards these gold-plated rich young masters.

"Director Bai. Xiao Tian has returned!"

Just as Bai Tao was signing Gong Xingteng’s employment papers, his assistant hurriedly rushed in without even knocking the door, announcing.

Thunk.

The pen in Bai Tao’s hand dropped onto the desk, his expression instantly turned into one of shock and joy, incredulously saying, "Returned?"

Before Bai Tao learned his favorite Xiao Tian might have died abroad, filled with regret, he couldn’t eat for days, planning to host an elaborate funeral for Xiao Tian, unexpectedly just days ago, the military called directly to his office, informing Xiao Tian had returned to Huaxia, telling them not to worry.

Bai Tao upon hearing this was gleeful, being so happy he didn’t sleep the entire night. The renown of their Shanghai police in Huaxia allowed Bai Tao to hold his head high even in front of several military bigwigs, all thanks to the prodigy Xiao Tian!

Therefore, upon knowing Xiao Tian wasn’t dead, Bai Tao was elated, eating with relish, even during nightly "battles" he was more vigorous than before, causing his wife to declare she couldn’t take it.

Bai Tao knew clearly, Xiao Tian was the treasure of Shanghai’s police, if anything happened to him, for both Shanghai and even Huaxia’s police it would mean an enormous loss!

This morning, Bai Tao received another call from the capital, notifying him Xiao Tian had returned to Shanghai, asking them to prepare. Subsequently, Bai Tao relayed the message to the West City Branch. Unexpectedly within just a few hours, this kid had really returned?

"Hahaha, I’m going to take a look!" Bai Tao laughed heartily, waving his large hand, briskly leaving the police bureau lobby.
