Chapter 37
"Oh, nothing, I suddenly remembered that I left some things at our old place . You can give it to me when you have the time . "
"Okay, I'll look around when I get back," Huo Mian nodded and replied .
"You could just give it to He Man," Ning Zhiyuan added, just to piss her off .
However, Huo Mian wasn't surprised at all when she heard this . Instead, she casually responded, "Sure . "
Then, Huo Mian walked right past him .
Ning Zhiyuan suddenly felt uncomfortable; he would be lying if he claimed that he had no feelings left for Huo Mian . After all, it took him a while before she agreed to go out with him .
They had been together for three years, and he had always treated her very well . Now that they suddenly broke up, it was only natural for him to be upset .
He originally thought that Huo Mian must have felt terrible as well, since he was now dating He Man .
Yet, there were clearly no signs of heartbreak in Huo Mian's expression back there .
Could this mean…that in all of these years, she never truly loved him? Perhaps she only loved that ex-boyfriend of hers?
Ning Zhiyuan's eyes then turned colder and colder at the thought of this .
Huo Mian returned home after work, and she bought some health supplements for her mother since her mother had just been discharged from the hospital . However, because her mother never appreciated her presence, she simply dropped the things off and left without even staying for dinner .
Then, she returned to her rented apartment, thoroughly cleaned the place, and found the things that Ning Zhiyuan had left behind .
She carefully gathered his possessions and placed them in a bin, as she planned to take it with her to work the next day .
Exhausted, she lied down on her bed and used her phone to transfer funds into her maxed-out credit card . Thankfully it wasn't overdue, or else the fees would have been staggeringly high .
Then, she sent a WeChat message to Zhu Lingling .
"Are you there?"
"Yup . "
After giving back what she owed, she only had two thousand yuan left for daily expenditures . However, she felt relieved .
Lying on her bed, she listened to the piano version of Pachelbel's Canon, suddenly noticing the beauty of such a simple life .
- Downtown, Criminal Police Department -
"Captain Gao, we cracked down on a brothel tonight and arrested lots of people," said a young police officer fawningly .
Gao Ran patted the little cop on the shoulders and said, "Good job, good work everyone . "
"Captain Gao, one of the clients was drunk when we arrested him . We asked him to provide a contact for bail, but he wouldn't give us a name . There is also a password on his phone and we can't unlock it, so we can't contact his family either . What should we do?"
"Let me check this out . " Gao Ran walked towards the detention room .
He walked in to see a young man with red cheeks, and the smell of alcohol pierced his nose .
Gao Ran frowned, "Where are his belongings? Bring them to me . "
"Here, Captain Gao," the little cop handed him a cell phone .
Gao Ran swiped up and noticed that the phone requested a fingerprint passcode . Without another word, he walked over to the drunkard, took his finger, and pressed it onto the phone .
The little cop on the side raised his thumb and complemented, "Our captain sure has his ways . "
After Gao Ran unlocked the phone, he frowned slightly when he saw an attractive woman's photo on the home screen .
"…Huo Mian?" Gao Ran mumbled to himself, not sure if he saw it right .
