She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 1066: Chapter 1126: The Poison Snake Beside Me

The Deputy Captain also chimed in, "Recently, no one has had any rest. If we keep at it, we won’t be able to stand it."

"Last time, we lost the clue about Li Xia and have been pursuing it for so long. Ultimately, it comes down to our lack of ability." This made Zhao Changqi feel terribly regretful, especially knowing that Li Xia herself had been to the police station, adding to his guilt and making the whole city bureau look bad.

If it weren’t for their negligence and dereliction, they might have caught her long ago.

"Keep searching."

"Captain, we’ve intensified our efforts so much that maybe she’s already run away."

"Impossible, Captain Xu said that Li Xia will not give up," Zhao Changqi said with absolute certainty, surprising everyone present.

"Why? Isn’t she afraid of dying?"

"No. The Hired Soldiers have a rule; Li Xia wants to hold onto the position of boss, so she must avenge scarface. Otherwise, she can’t control the situation when she goes back. She has only two choices before her now: either she kills Captain Xu, or Captain Xu kills her. If it weren’t for this, did you think I’m crazy?"

He didn’t know about this absurd rule until Director Shangguan came and mentioned it a couple of days ago. It nearly scared him stiff at the time; isn’t the Captain in extreme danger this way? Constantly being watched by assassins in the dark isn’t a good thing at all.

The enemy is in the shadows while we are in the light, making the situation very unfavorable. Since finding out, Zhao Changqi hasn’t had a peaceful night’s sleep. How can he sleep when Li Xia hasn’t been caught?

"Captain, why didn’t you tell us earlier?"

"Exactly, this is a big deal, having a Poison Snake right by our side... My God!"

"The superiors were afraid of causing panic, so they demanded secrecy. Since you know, don’t spread it."

"Yes! Captain, don’t worry, we will have everyone work overtime for a thorough investigation. We must catch this Poison Snake."

"Captain Xu will be coming over this afternoon to set out a specific action plan for us."

Everyone was overjoyed, with some even rubbing their palms together in excitement.

The Living Yama! He’s been a legend for a long time, an idol worshiped by countless people in the police system. Previously, because they weren’t from the same system, many people hadn’t seen him, but this time they could meet face-to-face. It was truly thrilling.

"Sheng An, someone is looking for you!" As soon as the bell rang for the end of class, someone called out at the classroom door.

An’an, sitting at the front, turned around and asked, "Who’s looking for me?"

The male student at the door wasn’t very old, with a handsome face unfamiliar to An’an but familiar to others in the classroom.

"Sun Kai, didn’t you take the day off today? Why are you here again?"

"Oh! The family matter was taken care of," Sun Kai replied and then said to An’an, "I don’t know the person looking for you, but she said she’s your sister."

"My sister came?" An’an jumped up joyfully, "Where is she? Where is she?"

"Outside the school. I happened to bump into her as I came in, and she asked me to call for you."

An’an frowned, "Why didn’t my sister come in?" Although puzzled, she still went out happily.

"Let me take you," Sun Kai adjusted the glasses on his face, a hint of cold light flashing under the thick lenses.

"Okay!" An’an followed him out of the school gate, with Sun Kai in the lead, walking faster and faster, until An’an almost had to run to keep up.

"Wait!" An’an suddenly stopped, "Where do you want to take me? You’re deceiving me, aren’t you? It’s not my sister looking for me at all."
