"It’s just that..." The team leader’s words carried his own hesitation.

Shen Mengqi continued shaking her head: "You don’t need to say more, my mind is made up. Team leader, I know you’re doing this for my good, but this time, let me make my own decision, okay? Meanwhile, I can assure you, as long as there are difficult problems in the team and I know how to help, I will still lend a hand to everyone. So, team leader, please agree to let me leave the team!"

Having said this, the team leader had nothing left to say and could only nod silently, which was tantamount to agreeing with her decision.

Shen Mengqi immediately looked at him with a face full of surprise: "Thank you, team leader."

"What’s with the politeness, hurry up and pack your things, get lost quickly, you ungrateful little..." the team leader said furiously, turning around and leaving.

After the team leader left, many team members quickly gathered around Shen Mengqi. They first offered a flurry of opinions, and then tried to dissuade her, but ultimately, they were persuaded by her determined smile.

Then, one by one, they patted her shoulder, giving their heartfelt blessings.

"Officer Lan is a really nice person, with you two being the two beauties of the station joining forces, you’ll definitely make rapid progress."

"Exactly, exactly. You must cooperate well and not disgrace our police station."

"That’s right, that’s right."

...

Although some of what they said wasn’t pleasant, Shen Mengqi knew in her heart that they were all sincerely thinking of her, so she could accept it all.

Leaving her own teammates, her head was almost nodding off.

"Sigh, who knew nodding could be so exhausting."

As soon as Shen Mengqi finished complaining, a woman’s voice, sounding playful, reached her ears: "Officer Shen, why aren’t you staying with your team to cause trouble for your members? Why are you coming over to mine?"

Lan Xinxixi, who had just personally received a call from the director, still wore a face of fear mixed with shock in her heart but was somewhat confused as to why Shen Mengqi, who was doing well in her own team, would want to join hers.

After hanging up the phone, she couldn’t wait for the other side to come over and was eager to intercept midway to clarify things in advance.

Meng Qi continued looking at Lan Xinxixi’s anxious face with a playful smile, feeling quite amused internally. Moreover, she very mischievously chose not to directly answer the question, instead changing the topic, which left Lan Xinxixi itching with annoyance but completely helpless.

Shen Mengqi jokingly said to her, "It’s not like my team, I’ve already worn them out. I see your team is doing well, so I plan to mess it up a bit. Don’t worry, I won’t mess around for long."

Lan Xinxixi couldn’t help but roll her eyes, wondering if her team would still be intact after being messed with by her. This excuse wasn’t believable at all—does this woman really think she’s stupid?

Instantly, Lan Xinxixi put on a stern face: "Speak, don’t try to dodge the issue. You’re doing well in that team, have been with your teammates for so long, familiar with everything, and your teamwork is seamless. Yet now you’re suddenly abandoning all that to join my team, starting from scratch. This isn’t like something you, Shen Mengqi, would do. What exactly are you trying to accomplish? If you really see me as a sister, don’t hide anything and tell me the real story. I want the truth."
