After Mr. Xu left, Xu Jiajia looked at Su Yun apologetically. “My father is a straightforward person. He can’t hide anything. Don’t mind him.”

Su Yun waved his hand. “It’s nothing. I think he’s quite easy to get along with.”

“That’s good…”

…

At the same time, in the duty room of the police station on Spring Street in Hibiscus City.

The thief was brought back to the police station by Officer Li and another police officer.

“Officer, I just picked up a bag. There’s no need to handcuff me, right?”

Xiao Li pushed the handcuffed thief and said angrily, “Kid, you’ve already used a knife. It’s different if you’re caught red-handed.”

The thief trembled when he heard this. As a person who had been in the police station for many years, he knew the most basic criminal law. Once he touched a controlled knife, it would not be as simple as theft.

“Brother, don’t malign me. I really didn’t use a knife. Besides, who would use a knife to cut themselves?”

The few of them came to the hall noisily and immediately attracted the attention of many police officers on duty.

Suddenly, a capable female criminal police officer in her thirties with short hair walked out of the elevator.

It was Officer Zhang, who had simulated the scene of the robber’s injury with Captain Chen in the hospital not long ago.

Seeing that Xiao Li had caught someone, she asked in surprise, “Yo, Comrade Xiao Li has done a great service today.”

When Xiao Li saw that it was Sister Zhang from the Criminal Police Unit, he quickly replied, “Sister Zhang, our police officers only catch some thieves. We can’t compare to you.”

“Cut it out. I heard it just now. It’s different when you use a knife.”

“Sister Zhang, why are you here so late at night? What’s the matter?”

“Don’t mention it. It’s about the robber a few days ago. I came to your street police station to get some basic information about the hostages. I’ve been really annoyed by this recently.”

Hearing this, Xiao Li suddenly understood. Although he was only a police officer, he had also heard about the robber robbing the bank not long ago. He was immediately surprised. He did not expect that the case was not over yet.

However, this was the job of a criminal police officer. As a junior police officer, he did not have the right to ask too much.

At this moment, Detective Zhang tidied up her briefcase and glanced at the thief’s bleeding ear. She reminded them, “Hurry up and bandage the suspect.”

“It’s fine. he won’t die from such a small injury.”

The two of them chatted for a while before leaving.

Xiao Li pushed the thief gloomily. “Let’s go quickly. Let’s bandage your wound first before explaining how you committed the crime!”

The thief had also heard the two of them chatting just now and thought that Officer Xiao Li would use him to boost his own performance.

The more the thief thought about it, the more afraid he became. He secretly cursed his bad luck and quibbled, “Officer, I really didn’t use a knife. You know that I usually commit petty theft. Even if you gave me a few guts, I wouldn’t dare to rob you with a knife.”

“Then if your ear wasn’t cut by a knife, what was it?”

“Listen to my excuses. This isn’t a knife wound, and I didn’t bring a knife. Don’t slander me!”

“Excuses? Pfft…”

Criminal Officer Zhang, who had just walked out of the hall, looked back and shook her head with a bitter smile. She didn’t care and immediately walked to the parking lot. She still had to return to the police station to work overtime as soon as possible.

She did not know when the robber’s case would end…

…

At the same time, on the other side.

The time they spent together was always short. Before they knew it, it was already close to midnight.

As everyone had already started their internship, it was inevitable that they had to go to work during the day. A few students immediately bade farewell and suggested leaving early.

“Jiajia, we still have to go to work tomorrow. It’s quite late now, and we still have to go home and wash up, so…”

Xu Jiajia naturally understood. She smiled and nodded. “I know. Work is more important, but I’m very grateful that you guys took the time to come over today. I’m very happy today.”

“Let’s not talk about this. Keep in touch when you’re free.”

“Yes, the graduation thesis defense is coming up soon. At that time, everyone can gather and have a good day out!”

“Then it’s settled. I didn’t expect time to be so inflexible. It’s time to part again.”

“We’ve been classmates for three years. Our friendship is deeper than our social friends. The fact that everyone is here today means that they value this friendship. I, Xu Jiajia, will remember it!”

“Alright, let’s meet another day!”

“Yes, let’s meet another day. Take care.”

At that moment, Su Yun slowly stood up…

Xu Jiajia saw Su Yun get up and quickly said, “Su Yun, are you leaving too?”

Su Yun nodded. “It’s getting late.”

Xu Jiajia looked at the time. It was almost midnight. It was time to go home.

“Don’t ride if you’ve been drinking. Shall I get my father to drive you?”

Big Head Yang, who was in a daze, perked up when he heard this. “Huh? Can you get Father-in-law to send me off too?”

Xu Jiajia’s face turned red when she heard this. It matched the red wine and made her look even more beautiful.

Su Yun glanced at Big Head Yang. “I’ll take a taxi with Big Head. It’s difficult for him to walk like this.”

Desolation flashed across Xu Jiajia’s eyes before she smiled. “That’s true. Be careful.”

Su Yun nodded in response. He placed Big Head Yang’s hand on his shoulder and grabbed his suit with the other.

All good things must come to an end. Everyone knew that after this farewell, the next “free time” would be far away.

Most of the time, time, distance, and other reasons were just excuses.

When you wanted to see someone, even if they were at the ends of the earth, you would approach them step by step.

So most of the time it’s not that we don’t have time, or that we’re too far away.

We just lack a reason to go.

These were many friends who would not meet again after graduation. They would only meet again after the other party got married.

Only then will you persuade yourself mentally that your friend will only get married once in her life, so I have to go.

At the same time, this was also why many relatives and friends of families could only have a “happy gathering” during the new year or when there was a happy occasion at home.

Everyone only gave them a reason or motivation to go.

Xu Jiajia looked at Su Yun, who was helping Big Head Yang out of the door. She thought for a moment and said, “Su Yun, remember to answer the phone in the future!”

Su Yun did not even turn around. “Happy birthday.”

As Su Yun left, the last few students at the table also expressed their intention to leave.

After another round of small talk, everything returned to normal.

All that was left was the devastation on the ground…

At this moment, Xu Kui returned from the toilet. When he saw that only his daughter was left in the private room, he asked in surprise, “Has everyone left?”

“Yeah.”

“That young man Su Yun looks ordinary, but he’s quite capable. It’s just that his mouth is a little out of tune. He even lied about using a flying card when he used a knife…”

Before Xu Kui could finish speaking, Xu Jiajia suddenly interrupted, “Dad, will everyone leave?”

Perhaps feeling the sudden loneliness, Xu Jiajia’s voice was choked with sobs.

Xu Kui knew that his daughter was experiencing the moment of parting in her life.

Therefore, he patted Xu Jiajia’s head and comforted her, “Silly girl, in this world, apart from loved ones and family, everyone has to run towards their own lives.”

“But… but I can’t bear to part with my friends.”

“You can meet offline. You can chat online. It’s much better than the comrades Dad lost…”
