Chapter 1242: Chapter 1217: Visiting the Girl

Hearing this, Zhou Susu paused for a moment and asked, "Ye Chen, where are we going?"

Didn’t Ye Chen just say they were going to see the little girl? Why are they going somewhere else now? She wondered what Ye Chen was really planning.

Ye Chen looked at her with a smile and said, "You’ll know when we get there."

Though Ye Chen said this, Zhou Susu didn’t get angry. It was mainly because she needed Ye Chen’s help now, and Director Zhou had specifically instructed her to seek Ye Chen’s assistance.

If her actions caused Ye Chen to refuse to help, she would definitely be blamed by Director Zhou.

Zhou Susu sat quietly beside him, letting Ye Chen take her to this unknown destination.

After driving for a while, Zhou Susu noticed a large supermarket ahead.

"Could it be that Ye Chen is going here?"

Just as she was pondering, Ye Chen parked the car, looked at her, and said, "Susu, we’re here. Let’s get out."

"Ye Chen, aren’t we going to see the little girl? Why are we here?" Zhou Susu asked, puzzled.

Upon hearing this question, Ye Chen felt a bit helpless. Zhou Susu looked so capable, yet she didn’t understand this situation.

It seemed that her mind was entirely focused on the case, with no space for anything else.

"Of course, to buy things." Ye Chen replied irritably.

Ye Chen led the bewildered Zhou Susu into the supermarket.

Once inside, Ye Chen headed straight for the snack section, bought a large number of snacks, and then went to the toy section to buy a very beautiful doll.

After paying, he led Zhou Susu out of the supermarket.

Back in the car, Zhou Susu looked at Ye Chen and asked, "Ye Chen, are all these for the little girl?"

"Yes." Ye Chen nodded.

At this moment, Zhou Susu finally understood Ye Chen’s intention. She smiled and said, "I see, you’re trying to get closer to the little girl, right?"

Hearing her say that, Ye Chen realized Zhou Susu wasn’t stupid after all.

The reason he bought these things was to make the little girl happy. After all, the little girl had experienced such misfortune, she must feel sad and scared.

As a stranger, Ye Chen definitely couldn’t approach her.

By buying her some snacks and dolls, he could bridge the gap between them. That was Ye Chen’s purpose.

The two loaded all the bags into the car and got inside.

Ye Chen didn’t rush to start the car but looked at Zhou Susu and asked, "Susu, why don’t you tell me about the little girl now?"

Actually, even if Ye Chen didn’t ask, Zhou Susu would have told him.

"Sigh!" Zhou Susu sighed and then said, "That little girl is really pitiful. She’s mute and encountered such an incident."

"What do you all call her?" Ye Chen continued to ask.

"The little girl’s nickname is Jingjing, we all call her Little Jing." Zhou Susu replied.

"Alright, I understand now." After Ye Chen finished speaking, he started the car and drove towards where the little girl was staying.

Now that Ye Chen had some information about the little girl, it would be easier to approach her.

The car headed towards a residential area, but this location was quite hidden, specifically used by the police for witness protection.

The little girl’s parents had been killed. Though she should have been sent to an orphanage, the police were concerned the perpetrator might harm her, so they temporarily placed her here.

The little girl also had an aunt, whom the police contacted. She was abroad but was due to return to the country in a few days.

Ye Chen got out of the car, just about to walk inside when Zhou Susu called him from behind.

"Ye Chen, Little Jing just went through something so traumatic. Make sure you don’t scare her when you see her." Zhou Susu reminded.

"Susu, don’t worry, I’m so handsome there’s no way I could scare her, right?" Ye Chen joked.

Hearing this, Zhou Susu glared at Ye Chen, wondering how someone could be so narcissistic.

But she had to admit, after all this time apart, Ye Chen seemed even more handsome than before.

This was a place that couldn’t be entered freely, with police guarding it, and Ye Chen wasn’t a police officer.

"Susu, you go in front, I’ll follow." Ye Chen said.

With Zhou Susu leading the way, Ye Chen followed her in.

This old residential complex had no elevator, only stairs.

After climbing two flights of stairs with Ye Chen, Zhou Susu stopped in front of a door and knocked gently.

After a while, footsteps inside were heard, then the door opened.

The person who opened the door was a plainclothes policeman, who saluted Zhou Susu and said, "Captain Zhou, you’re here again?"

"Oh, I’m here to check on Little Jing." Zhou Susu replied with a smile.

The male officer looked at Ye Chen behind Zhou Susu and asked, "Captain Zhou, who is this?"

"This is Ye Chen, he’s also here to see Little Jing." Zhou Susu answered.

"Officer Ye, hello." The male officer saluted Ye Chen as well.

But Ye Chen waved and said, "I’m called Ye Chen, I’m not an officer."

The male officer looked confused at Zhou Susu and asked, "Captain Zhou, is this a relative of Little Jing?"

"No." Zhou Susu denied.

Since he was neither an officer nor a relative of Little Jing, Ye Chen shouldn’t be allowed here.

If the location where Little Jing was living was discovered by the perpetrator, even with police protection, it would be extremely dangerous. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Perhaps noticing the male officer’s concern, Zhou Susu smiled and said, "Ye Chen is here to help us solve the case. In fact, he was hand-picked by Director Zhou."

Upon hearing this, the male officer looked at Ye Chen with astonishment.

When he first heard Ye Chen’s name, it felt familiar to him.

He seemed to recall hearing about a man named Ye Chen helping the police solve several cases and being highly esteemed by Director Zhou.

The male officer held a deep respect for this Ye Chen.

He never dreamed that the legendary figure would appear right before him.

"Brother Ye, I’ve long admired you. Come in, please." The male officer hastily pulled Ye Chen inside.

Seeing Ye Chen and Zhou Susu enter, the male officer quickly closed the door.

Even though this place belonged to the police station, there was no guarantee others wouldn’t come in, so those on duty here remained constantly vigilant.

"Brother Ye, it’s truly great to meet you here." The male officer said with a smile.

"Yes, I’m also very pleased to meet you." Ye Chen responded politely.

"Alright, you two men, are you done yet?" Zhou Susu asked, looking at Ye Chen and the male officer.

It’s not entirely her fault for getting annoyed; ever since the male officer learned Ye Chen’s true identity, he hadn’t let go of Ye Chen’s hand.

Zhou Susu was a bit speechless at the sight before her.
