Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group Chapter 1255 - 1230: Visiting the Girl Again

The following day, while the female reporter and the individuals rescued by Ye Chen from the fire were anxiously searching for him, he had already arrived at the police station, clutching a teddy bear.

Having learned from their previous encounter, no one dared to impede Ye Chen's progress, nor did they venture to speak with him.

Even Political Commissioner Zhao offered a welcoming smile upon seeing him.

"Mr. Ye, you've arrived," Political Commissioner Zhao stated with a grin.

Ye Chen merely offered a nod in return, proceeding directly towards Zhou Susu's office without further exchange.

Had it been anyone else, Political Commissioner Zhao would have certainly reacted differently, but facing Ye Chen left him with no other recourse.

Upon reaching the doorway of Zhou Susu's office, Ye Chen bypassed the customary knock and entered directly.

Taken aback by the sudden intrusion, Zhou Susu was startled.

"Ye Chen, it’s still early. Don't do that. If you frighten me, will you take responsibility?" Zhou Susu responded irritably, casting a glare at Ye Chen as he approached her.

"Of course, your responsibility is my concern," Ye Chen replied with a roguish smirk.

He then added, "Since when did our Chief Zhou become so easily startled?"

Zhou Susu remained silent, but her beautiful eyes fixed a stern gaze upon Ye Chen.

She had been deeply engrossed in her case analysis, and the abrupt noise had indeed startled her, though it had little to do with courage.

The primary reason was her complete immersion in the ongoing investigation.

"Are you finding amusement in teasing me this early? Tell me, what is it you require?" Zhou Susu inquired, looking at Ye Chen.

"I came because I missed you. What else could it be?" Ye Chen responded with a playful grin.

"Ye Chen, I’m starting to think you're becoming less serious," Zhou Susu said, a hint of exasperation in her voice.

She sensed that Ye Chen's early arrival signaled something significant, likely connected to the case.

"Very well, I shall tease you no further," Ye Chen stated, his tone shifting to a more serious one.

His intention had simply been to engage in lighthearted banter with Zhou Susu.

Subsequently, Ye Chen voiced his request: "I wish for you to take me to see Little Jing."

"To see Little Jing?" Zhou Susu echoed, her expression one of bewilderment.

She genuinely couldn't fathom Ye Chen's desire to visit Little Jing so early in the morning.

Could it be that he felt sympathetic towards the girl and wished to spend more time with her?

"Certainly, once I've finished analyzing this evidence, I will accompany you," Zhou Susu replied, shifting her gaze from Ye Chen to intently study the report in her hands.

Ye Chen shook his head, a sense of helplessness washing over him as he considered Zhou Susu's efforts to be somewhat redundant.

He recognized the perpetrator as exceptionally cunning, and he doubted that conventional investigative methods would yield any results.

Nevertheless, Ye Chen patiently settled onto the sofa, choosing to wait for Zhou Susu.

He did not wish to dampen her enthusiasm. Revealing to Zhou Susu that her current efforts were futile would undoubtedly cause her considerable distress and even frustration.

A competitor like Zhou Susu would not permit such an outcome.

As minutes ticked by, Ye Chen's patience began to wane.

Meanwhile, Zhou Susu remained absorbed in the report, struggling to comprehend how Little Jing's aunt could be responsible for the demise of Little Jing's entire family, especially since there were no discernible leads, even concerning any hired accomplices.

Ye Chen's desire to prolong his stay diminished considerably. He stood up and inquired, "Chief Zhou, how much longer will this take?"

Hearing this, Zhou Susu glanced at her watch, a flush of embarrassment coloring her cheeks as she realized an entire hour had elapsed.

After all, everyone's time was valuable, and her current undertaking did indeed appear somewhat impractical.

"Ye Chen, I apologize. I am finished now; let us depart," Zhou Susu announced, setting aside the report.

She carefully placed the document into her drawer and secured it with a key.

Zhou Susu's meticulous nature dictated her actions, driven by a fear that unauthorized individuals might access her office and discover the report's contents, potentially leading to a leak.

Observing that Zhou Susu had concluded her task, Ye Chen rose from the sofa and moved towards the exit.

The two proceeded towards the police station's main entrance, one after the other.

Once inside the car, Ye Chen offered the teddy bear to Zhou Susu, saying, "Please hold this for me."

Zhou Susu noticed the teddy bear Ye Chen was handing her and inquired, "What is this for?"

Although Ye Chen had been holding the bear the entire time, Susu had not previously registered its presence.

"A gift for Little Jing," Ye Chen stated with a smile.

He opted not to disclose the specific reason behind the teddy bear's significance to Zhou Susu.

"Oh, you seem quite thoughtful," Zhou Susu remarked with a smile.

Despite being a man, Ye Chen exhibited a level of meticulousness that surpassed her own.

"Naturally, toys are essential for comforting a child," Ye Chen responded with a chuckle.

"But didn't you already purchase numerous toys and snacks for her yesterday?" Zhou Susu questioned further.

This particular question posed a dilemma for Ye Chen; he found himself wondering why this woman was so inquisitive today.

——I must have a gift when I visit Little Jing; it's not my manner to arrive empty-handed. Earlier, at the toy shop, this bear struck me as quite charming, so I purchased it, thinking Little Jing would surely be delighted.—— Ye Chen offered a casual explanation, completing his thought.

Zhou Susu's expression shifted to one of seeming comprehension as she nodded.

With Susu accompanying him, Ye Chen guided the car back towards their residential area.

Upon parking the vehicle, the duo proceeded towards the apartment building.

They reached the door and initiated another round of knocks.

The door swung open, revealing the same male officer from the previous day, whose face lit up with evident pleasure upon seeing Ye Chen.

—— Mr. Ye, what a pleasant surprise! What brings you here today?—— the male officer exclaimed with palpable excitement.

——My goodness, Officer, you seem remarkably cheerful today! Has something wonderful transpired?—— Zhou Susu playfully inquired with a smile.

——No specific great event, Madam. It is primarily the immense joy of seeing Mr. Ye. And you know, ever since Mr. Ye's visit yesterday, Little Jing has undergone a complete transformation.—— the male officer responded, his excitement mounting.

After Ye Chen and Zhou Susu's departure, Little Jing had initially remained withdrawn, curled up in a corner of the kitchen.

However, gradually, she emerged from her seclusion and even initiated conversation with the male officer.

This development left the male officer astonished, as she had previously only communicated with Zhou Susu and no one else.

——You're a police officer, why the excessive display of emotion? I assumed something significant had occurred.—— Zhou Susu remarked with a hint of impatience.

Yet, hearing that Little Jing had become more sociable, not only conversing with her but also engaging with her colleagues, filled her with genuine delight.

Her gaze turned appreciatively towards Ye Chen, standing beside her; this man consistently brought forth newfound wonders.

Little Jing had effectively sealed herself off from the world, but with just a single visit, Ye Chen had managed to unlock her heart. How could Zhou Susu not feel a profound sense of admiration for Ye Chen?
