CHAPTER 653: CHAPTER 627 DREAM

Zhou Susu turned her head, saw who it was, and frowned slightly.

"Uncle Li, he assaulted a police officer and was causing trouble at the bar. I’m arresting him as part of my duty. What makes you say it’s not okay?" Zhou Susu said coldly.

Geng Hao saw the visitor and showed a trace of excitement, pointing at Ye Chen: "Why are you all still standing there? This guy broke my head. Hurry and arrest him."

Zhou Susu frowned at that and stood in front of Ye Chen: "Uncle Li, letting him go is fine, but arresting Ye Chen seems a bit excessive."

The middle-aged man sighed and said, "Young Master Geng, let it go. This guy has a strong background. I can’t afford to provoke you, nor can I afford to provoke him."

"You..."

Geng Hao pointed at Ye Chen: "You wait for me."

Ye Chen smiled: "Alright, I’ll be waiting for you."

Ye Chen followed Zhou Susu out of the bar, and suddenly stopped at the entrance.

"Buddy, I’m taking the girl. You’ll have to sort yourself out tonight."

With that, Ye Chen and Zhou Susu left under Geng Hao’s furious gaze.

...

The night was somewhat chilly.

The streetlights elongated their shadows.

Zhou Susu seemed not to be in a good mood, keeping her head down and saying nothing.

Ye Chen followed behind Zhou Susu, seemingly indifferent.

At this moment, Ye Chen understood Zhou Susu’s feelings very well.

Ye Chen knew Zhou Susu was a girl with a strong sense of justice; otherwise, with such a privileged family environment, she wouldn’t have become a police officer.

But today’s events were quite a blow to Zhou Susu.

In her heart, bad people should be punished.

Yet she had to watch them walk away. This must have made Zhou Susu feel very unhappy.

Ye Chen saw a night snack stall by the roadside.

"Let’s grab a late-night snack."

Zhou Susu nodded.

The two arrived at a barbecue stand, and Ye Chen ordered a few skewers.

It was already past eleven at night, so there were few people at the barbecue stand, only a scattering of customers.

Usually, Zhou Susu is a very lively girl, but today she was unusually silent, even dazed.

Ye Chen was secretly impressed by Zhou Susu’s beauty.

Zhou Susu was indeed very beautiful.

Especially her appearance, clearly a very delicate girl, yet with a somewhat stern expression, her tender skin like a peach, her big eyes were full of spiritual qi.

A slender figure with no excess flesh, an S-shaped body, extremely alluring.

A heroic police uniform paired with her unparalleled looks, no wonder that guy named Geng Hao would have ulterior motives toward her.

Seeing Zhou Susu’s low spirits, Ye Chen comforted her: "Susu, as a police officer, you’ve really done a great job, but the world isn’t as you imagine; there will always be some dark sides."

"But, I’m unwilling."

"There’s nothing to be unwilling about. As long as you do your best, it’s enough. No matter the matter, it cannot be perfect. What we need to do is just give our best effort and have no regrets."

Hearing Ye Chen’s words, Zhou Susu fell into thought.

She used to love this profession dearly.

Because she could bring criminals to justice, could punish bad people.

But today, she suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.

Especially regarding Geng Hao, she always thought her profession was noble, but today she suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.

However, Zhou Susu grew quite a bit through today’s events.

If Ye Chen hadn’t been there, she might really have suffered a big loss today.

In this world, there is no absolute right or wrong, only strength.

After all, only someone with absolute strength like Ye Chen can protect the justice in their heart.

Zhou Susu pondered for a moment and suddenly said, "Ye Chen, I don’t want to be a police officer anymore."

Ye Chen was stunned: "Hey, don’t be so fragile, letting such a small matter make you abandon your dream?"

Zhou Susu nodded: "Yes, if I can’t uphold justice and punish evil, what’s the point of being one?"

Ye Chen smiled faintly: "Haven’t you heard the saying, ’Justice might be delayed, but it will never be absent.’"

Zhou Susu was momentarily stunned.

Ye Chen laughed: "Why don’t we have some drinks? They say drinks can erase all troubles."

Zhou Susu agreed, "Sure, tonight we’ll drink till we drop."

Ye Chen laughed: "Boss, bring us a jug of beer."

Zhou Susu directly said, "Boss, we don’t want beer, we want Old Bai Gan."

Ye Chen: "..."

He shook his head helplessly; it was Ye Chen who suggested drinking, so naturally, he’d drink whatever the beauty wanted.

A bottle of Old Bai Gan, Ye Chen drank two cups while Zhou Susu had one.

At this moment, Zhou Susu’s pretty face was already a little flushed, her gaze somewhat dreamy.

Zhou Susu sighed and said: "Ye Chen, you know, I’ve always wanted to uphold justice, wanted to be the guardian of the people, but now I realize I’m unwilling."

Ye Chen clinked glasses with Zhou Susu and then said with a smile: "Actually, this is the real world. This world has good and evil. Today, Geng Hao is just one of the insignificant evils, so we can only continuously strengthen ourselves. Dreams can never be smooth sailing, encountering thorns is normal, so if you let this stop you, it can only mean that you never truly liked this dream."

Hearing this, Zhou Susu was suddenly stunned.

"I never thought you were so good at advising, it’s practically stronger than our work capability."

"Haha, thank you for the compliment. If you ever have any matters on your mind, feel free to find me; I’m very good at comforting girls," Ye Chen said, smiling.

"Ye Chen, you have a lot of girls around you, don’t you?" Zhou Susu suddenly asked.

After all, Ye Chen is handsome and rich, it’s hard for Zhou Susu to believe that such a man wouldn’t have other girls around him.

"Well, yeah, I’m so handsome; how could I not have some girls around me?"

Zhou Susu suddenly laughed: "You’re quite honest; anyway, thank you for helping me regain my dream. Yes, as long as I have no regrets, that’s enough. I will be a good police officer who protects the people."

The two clinked their glasses again and finished the drink in them.
