Chapter 8: 05. Because I Believe in Him

  The cat followed a policeman into the visiting room, where there was no heating and cold air permeated from all sides.

  "Are you Ni Mao? Are you looking for Liang Chen?" The police officer glanced at the girl in front of him, who seemed to be injured, with bruises around her eyes and lips.

  Nowadays young people are getting more and more rebellious. He sighed as he looked at the file, this good kid was only in his teens, yet he had killed his own father.

  "Found it?" asked the cat who couldn't help but ask a sentence.

  The policeman glanced lazily at her and said, "You sit here for a while. I'll go call him out." He took out the key to unlock the iron door of the cell and locked it again with a smooth motion.

  The cat clenched her fists and sat in the seat, not knowing whether it was due to tension or the cold weather, she found herself trembling all the time, involuntarily gritting her teeth. In such a place, Miao Rou felt an intangible pressure for the first time, even more oppressive than the small black room in the orphanage. And Liang Chen was so young, yet he was locked up inside, how did he endure it?

  The iron gate creaked open again, the chain fell heavily to the ground, and the cat suddenly lifted its head, only to find that it was still the same policeman who had just come out, and he was alone.

  "What a wonderful day!" The cat couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, its tone filled with excitement.

  "He won't see you." The policeman looked at his watch with an air of indifference, "Alright, come back next time. It's five o'clock and I'm about to change shifts."

  "But... why didn't he see me? Are you sure?" The cat furrowed its brow, how could this be, she just wanted to come and ask clearly, but why didn't Liang Chen see her?

  Could it be... he's already given up on himself? Could it be... that person was really killed by him?

  The cat retreated a few steps, its face as white as paper. No, it was absolutely impossible, Liang Chen would never do such a thing. But what could she use to convince herself? Liang Chen wouldn't even see her, what was the point of all this?

  The cat feels like a headless fly at this moment, unable to think, rushing around randomly.

  "Hurry up and leave!" The police started to chase people away, the impatience on their faces becoming more apparent. Cat Ni lowered her head and walked out, feeling a bit light-footed.

  She bit her lip, and the seeping blood and pain made her mind clear up, and her will was also determined.

  She won't give up on him for a single day without seeing him.

  She absolutely, absolutely won't give up on Liang Chen because she wants to protect him, she must protect Liang Chen!

  It was as if she had returned to her childhood, she resolutely pressed down on him, repeating over and over: "Let me protect you! I can protect you! Protect you from getting hurt, and don't go hurt others!"

  It's not just talk, it's a promise between her and Liang Chen, and now is the time to defend that promise!

  "I'll be back!" The cat suddenly lifted its head, and said to the police officer, "Because I believe in him. Hope you can persuade him." After finishing speaking, the cat ran out without looking back.

  The police were stunned on the spot, just that moment, wasn't it an illusion? How did this girl seem to have changed a bit...

  "Because I believe him!" The police officer couldn't help but curl up the corner of his mouth in mockery.

  Everyone who comes here will be labeled with an unpleasant name, forever viewed by others through colored glasses, and even become a social outcast.

  Every visitor who comes to see him is hanging his head in shame because of having such a relative or friend.

  But what did he hear today?

  A teenage blonde girl actually firmly believes in a murderer?

  What is she capable of? Ridiculous, ridiculous.
