Chapter 295 : Weren't You Very Brave Just Now?

After a while, half of the words were written, and Gu Nian guessed that the old man probably wanted to write the word "家"(home).

"Why did you want to apply for the police exam in the first place?" the old man asked.

"It's all about passion. I just want to help people." The most important thing was that at that time, Mu Lanshu said that her father, Gu Licheng, was a policeman and died in the line of duty.

But later, Mu Lanshu said that Gu Licheng was not a policeman at all, nor did he die in the line of duty.

But how exactly he died, she refused to tell her.

She even refused to tell her what Gu Licheng did during his lifetime.

At first, Gu Nian was confused and didn't think much about it. She was only troubled by the fact that his father was not the role model she always thought he was.

But after calming down later, it was not difficult to guess that Mu Lanshu refused to say it, probably because Gu Licheng's work was shady...

Perhaps, he was not so upright and could not be a role model for Gu Nian.

Mu Lanshu didn't want her to be disappointed, so she kept it secret and refused to say anything.

And Gu Nian was just guessing. She didn't know anything else, so what could she say to the old man?

She could only brush aside the main reason why she had to become a policeman in the first place.

"You may think that I am talking nice words, which are empty and big. But I really think so." At first, she applied for the police academy, perhaps because she thought that Gu Licheng was a police officer who died in the line of duty, and she took him as an example.

But later she graduated from the police academy and was admitted to the police force.

Even without Gu Licheng's connections, she still loved this job from the bottom of her heart.

"I don't know why, I just have a passion for it, I just like it. Whether it was when I was a local police officer, solving trivial matters for the residents of the area. Or now that I have joined the criminal investigation team, the things I solve have become more serious. Bigger cases. As long as they are solved, I will be happy. Solving one more case will make me feel more relaxed."

Hearing this, Old Mr. Chu did not speak immediately, but smoothly finished writing the word "家".

"Aren't you afraid of getting hurt?" Mr. Chu asked.

"Afraid." Gu Nian said honestly, "I'm afraid that if I get hurt, my mother will be sad and Zhaoyang will be sad. So, I try to keep myself safe."

Gu Nian smiled: "To be honest, Zhaoyang was also afraid that I would get hurt, so he told Mo Jingsheng to take good care of me. He didn't want me to participate in many dangerous things. I know, so I also listen to him. Because I am alone, so many people who care about me are worried."

"I ignored my mother's objections, passed the police academy, and became a police officer. In fact, I was already willful." Gu Nian said softly, "I also want to do well and stay with Zhaoyang."

"However, if something happens because of Organization R, I will still participate. I can't just stand aside and watch."

The old man paused his pen, so the ink fell on the blank rice paper.

The old man didn't care, turned his head and looked at her with raised eyebrows: "Do you know about Organization R?"

"I know that the person who kidnapped Zhaoyang was the R organization. Before getting together with Zhaoyang, I protected him as a policeman. At that time, it was the R organization that wanted to attack him. I know everything." Gu Nian said.

Hearing what she said, the old man was not surprised. He had expected that Gu Nian knew about the kidnapping that Chu Zhaoyang had experienced.

"You said before that you like to be a policeman and like to solve cases. But now for the sake of safety, you don't go into battle in danger. Isn't that contradictory?" The old man snorted lightly, seeming to be a little sarcastic.

However, the irony was not that big, which made Gu Nian a little unsure.

"In this matter, I am selfish. I hold on to my position, but I am also greedy for life and afraid of death." Gu Nian also blushed with shame, "I have thought about it. In the future, I must be more stable and not worry my family. Sooner or later, I will get pregnant and give birth to a child. I can't rush forward regardless of my life or death even though I'm pregnant."

"I just want to avenge Zhaoyang with my own hands. After I resolve the matter of Organization R, I will retire from the criminal investigation team and work as a civilian or something. This will make my family feel at ease, and I will also focus on my family as priority."

"Thinking long-term." Old Mr. Chu sneered, "Who do you want to marry and have children with? With Zhaoyang? Have you never thought about what if we don't agree?"

Gu Nian hesitated and said truthfully: "It's all empty talk after seeing people's hearts for a long time. I said I would prove to you that I really like Zhaoyang, but you may not like to hear it. Zhaoyang already told me more than a month ago that I should make preparations and take me to meet the two elders at some time."

"I'm very nervous and uneasy. Zhaoyang's parents don't like me anymore, and I'm also afraid that you don't like me. I will definitely feel uneasy when meeting the elders. But to be honest, besides being nervous, now I'm really here, I'm not afraid anymore."

Gu Nian looked at the old man cautiously and said, "Because I believe in Zhaoyang. If you all object, as long as he still likes me, I will insist and will never let him down. If he treats me well, I will respond to him twice as much."

"But if he is tired and doesn't want to bear the pressure of his family anymore, then I won't bother him. I will still like him very much. I don't even know if I will like others in the future, but I will put this love in front of him. In my heart, I will never pester him or make things difficult for him."

"What happens between me and him, and what our relationship will become, depends on him. If he persists, I will work hard with him. If he gives up, I won't make it difficult for him."

Old Mr. Chu paused, crumpled up the rice paper that was ruined by the ink drops, and threw it into the trash can.

"You have moved to Lanyuan now?" the old man asked again.

Old people were always more conservative.

Gu Nian was really afraid that Old Mr. Chu would think that she was not dignified and reserved enough to move in with a man casually.

At this time, she was not as confident as before. She nodded guiltily and said "hmm" in a low voice.

Old Mr. Chu glanced at her: "I didn't say anything. Why are you feeling guilty? Weren't you very brave just now?"
