“May I ask where the jade pendant on your neck came from?”
The police chief glanced at Yun Xi. The key to this matter would depend on the extent of the injury suffered by the person involved. An apology was inevitable, but if the injury on the person’s face was very serious, Chen Xin would not be able to settle it with just an apology.
It was difficult to determine the extent of the injury on Yun Xi’s face. Compared to the injury from a normal fight, it was still a small matter. However, for a girl, an injury on her face was a big matter. Hence, the key to this matter was to see what the victim thought. Under certain circumstances, Chen Xin had to pay Yun Xi a certain amount of medical fees to compensate for the injury on her face.
However, when the police chief looked at Yun Xi, he discovered something else. His gaze immediately jumped from Yun Xi’s face to her neck. This was because the police chief saw a very familiar jade pendant necklace on Yun Xi’s neck.
Yun Xi was also very curious. Why did he not pay attention to something else in the middle of the trial? Why did he pay attention to the necklace on her neck first?
She did not know if the necklace on her neck had any meaning. When Zhou Lin brought her to the swimming pool last month, he told her that a girl should wear a piece of jewelry around her neck.
Zhou Lin then took out the jade pendant necklace from his pocket. Zhou Lin said, “If that jade bracelet is inconvenient to wear, then wear this jade pendant necklace instead.”
The jade pendant on this necklace was nothing exceptional, and it looked affordable so Yun Xi accepted it without thinking. She only felt that Zhou Lin must have bought it for her on a whim.
She was too lazy to take it off, so she wore it around her neck all the time. Because this necklace was too inconspicuous, many people turned a blind eye to it. The people from Yun Gang or Yun Lin’s family did not bother her because of it,and Yun Xi herself almost forgot about the existence of the jade pendant necklace around her neck.
However, it has been a long time since she received the necklace, so she was still a little surprised when she was suddenly asked about the necklace by the chief of the police station.
The police chief in this village was called Ba Wen. He was from a minority group, so he was naturally not a local. He was transferred here for work reasons.
Before he became the police chief, he was also a soldier. He happened to be Zhou Lin’s subordinate. However, he had never held a position in the military camp and was just an ordinary soldier.
Logically speaking, it would be very difficult for him to get to know Zhou Lin at his level. However, the Heavens would always give people a chance. Zhou Lin received a special combat mission from his superior. He wanted to select a group of soldiers with strong military qualities among the recruits and form a special combat squad.
Ba Wen was selected for this special combat squad because of his excellent physical qualities. From this, he also got to know their captain, Zhou Lin. At that time, Zhou Lin pushed aside all objections and left him in the special combat squad. This made his military career more fulfilling and it was the perfect opportunity.
Therefore, Ba Wen had always been grateful to his captain. However, when he went on a mission, an accident happened. The captain’s leg was shot, and he was also seriously injured. After that, he could no longer participate in the squad’s mission and chose to retire. In the end, Ba Wen was assigned to this remote place and became the chief of a police station.
When they fought together, Ba Wen noticed that his captain would always be wearing an inconspicuous jade pendant necklace around his neck. Since his captain wore it around his neck even during missions, this jade pendant necklace must have represented something special and had an extraordinary meaning.
However, after so many years, Ba Wen was surprised to see this necklace on a little girl’s neck.
Moreover, he was sure that he did not make a mistake because the color and shape of this jade pendant were very special. It was almost impossible to find a second one in an ordinary jewelry shop.
“This was given to me by someone else,” Yun Xi replied calmly. She was starting to feel a little different about this matter.
“Who gave it to you? Or should I ask in a different manner – what is the name of the person who gave you this necklace?” The police chief’s expression seemed a little anxious.
“His name is Zhou Lin!”
