Tina Shen didn't get involved in the case of the fugitive.
As for the corpse theft case… She looked out the window at the darkening sky and couldn't help but complain in her mind.
Forget it, she'd check it out tomorrow. Going to the crematorium to investigate at night was just asking for trouble!
Everyone knew that places like cemeteries and crematoriums, which were heavy with yin energy, were best avoided at night. It just made people feel uneasy!
Since joining the Criminal Investigation Detachment, this was the first time Tina Shen had left work on time.
Her colleagues were all staying late to work, while she was leaving early. Would anyone be upset?
Don't overthink it!
Though she was young, her ability to solve cases was well recognized.
Everyone was looking forward to teaming up with her to accomplish something big.
By afternoon, word had spread around the team that it wouldn't be long before Tina Shen would be promoted to team leader, with three openings for team members!
As soon as the news came out, Kevin Guo was the first to rush up to Tina Shen, taking advantage of their previous "mentor-student" relationship to claim one of the spots.
The remaining two spots… well, the competition among her colleagues was fierce!
Most police officers joined the force with a passion to serve.
But when they realized they could solve cases and get promoted, who wouldn't be tempted? Apart from Tina Shen, who seemed to have only cases on her mind, who could resist?
Tina Shen's ability was well-known to everyone.
Who wouldn't want to work alongside her and achieve something great?
Would a group of seasoned officers feel embarrassed working under a younger colleague?
No, when someone can help you get promoted and earn more, who cares about age? She was practically a "golden goose"!
The journey home was a bit rough. Tina Shen squeezed onto a bus and returned to her place.
She had just graduated from the police academy, so buying a car wasn't really realistic yet.
Her dad wanted to buy her one, but she had declined.
The money her parents had saved was better spent on their own retirement. She had decided to build the life she wanted with her own effort.
Besides, she was staying at Ethan Jiang's place, so she didn't have to worry about food and shelter.
Except for not having a vehicle, she didn't need to spend much.
Back at the house—Ethan Jiang's villa.
The place was empty.
To be honest, Tina Shen didn't know much about this brother of hers.
They hadn't known each other for long, and they didn't spend much time together. How could she really get to know him?
She pulled out her phone and dialed Ethan Jiang's number.
"What's up?"
A deep, pleasant voice came through the phone.
"I finished work early today, so I thought I'd make dinner," Tina Shen said lightly. "What would you like to eat?"
After all, she had said she'd pursue him. As a modern, independent woman, she had to follow through.
"Just make whatever you want."
Ethan Jiang's voice softened. "By the way, I bought you a car. It'll be delivered tomorrow."
Tina Shen: …
For a moment, she felt like a pampered little girl.
Being observant and sharp, Tina Shen quickly caught on to this subtle change in tone.
"I know you don't want a car that's too flashy for work," Ethan Jiang continued, thinking Tina Shen was silent because of that. "It's an SUV, I thought it would suit you. It's only around three or four hundred thousand—just a little surprise from your brother."
Three or four hundred thousand… "only"?
Tina Shen's mouth twitched.
In front of her wealthy brother, she felt a bit "poor."
As a "crossed-over" person with a natural aura, why did she feel like she was living a bit shabby?
"Bro, when will you be home for dinner?" Tina Shen asked.
"I'll be home soon. I'm finishing up some work," Ethan Jiang laughed. "Seems like I haven't come home this early in years."
After hanging up the phone, Tina Shen hummed a little tune as she went grocery shopping.
For two people, no need to make an extravagant meal—two dishes and a soup would be enough.
By the time Tina Shen finished preparing the meal and returned home, Ethan Jiang had arrived.
Their eyes met, and they smiled at each other before sitting down to eat together.
After dinner, they sat side by side in the living room, not knowing what to talk about.
Their relationship was a bit strange.
They were legally married, but it felt like they were strangers who had just met.
They hadn't officially defined their romantic relationship, yet they were already living together.
Tina Shen noticed the fatigue in Ethan Jiang's face. After thinking for a moment, she reached out her hand.
Whether it was out of instinct or something else, Ethan Jiang naturally leaned in.
"Bro, I'm not going to hug you, I just want to massage your shoulders," Tina Shen said playfully.
"Ah?" Ethan Jiang's handsome face turned a bit red.
He lay down on his sister's lap, relaxing as Tina Shen's gentle hands moved across his forehead and shoulders, making him feel completely at ease.
As she massaged him, Tina Shen couldn't help but sneak a glance at her handsome brother, thinking to herself.
For girls, beauty had a deadly attraction.
There was nothing wrong with being handsome, but when someone was too handsome, it made the girls' hearts race. Wasn't that a little "unfair"?
Ethan Jiang was definitely one of those types!
"Bro, what exactly do you do for work?" Tina Shen asked curiously.
"I work in capital finance."
Ethan Jiang closed his eyes and answered without holding back.
"Wow, that's impressive!" Tina Shen exclaimed.
A company called "capital" had to have assets in the billions, at the very least.
Her brother was definitely a super rich person!
"Must be really profitable, huh?" Tina Shen couldn't help but ask.
Ethan Jiang casually replied, "The assets are over a thousand billion."
Tina Shen: …
Was it even possible to keep this conversation going?
Seeing the serious expression on Ethan Jiang's face, Tina Shen was sure he wasn't joking.
Holy crap… Tina Shen's mind screamed.
It felt like she had been struck by lightning. Her scalp tingled, and she felt like she was living in a dream.
For a moment, Tina Shen even wondered if she had become a police officer just to experience life. Maybe she'd have been better off working at a construction site, moving bricks. Who knew, she might even get rich faster!
"Actually…"
Ethan Jiang slowly opened his eyes and looked at the dazed Tina Shen with a smile in his eyes.
"If you divorce me now, I'll split my assets with you. Half for you—what do you think?"
Tina Shen: …
Bro, don't joke like that!
If Mom finds out, she'll definitely scold me!
