After leaving the office.

Gu Ji had just changed out of his police uniform when someone from the city’s publicity department brought media equipment over to interview him. They mainly asked about his thoughts on rescuing people, his usual training routine, and what he wanted to say to the majority of online followers.

After completing the formalities.

During the lunch break, Gu Ji was having a meal with Gao Bo and the others in the cafeteria when he suddenly received a call from the gatekeeper, informing him that someone named Li Huiran was looking for him.

He was slightly taken aback, not expecting her to be discharged so soon.

Gao Bo, eager for gossip, was eavesdropping on the side. After Gu Ji finished the call, Gao Bo grinned mischievously and said, "What’s going on? I thought I heard a woman was coming to see you!"

"She’s the person I saved yesterday from attempting suicide."

"Oh! Is she here to present you with a banner or maybe to propose, haha!" Zhou Yang swallowed his food and joined in the teasing.

"I can’t chat with you guys now, I need to go over there."

Recalling Zhang Wenjun’s specific advice to treat the situation seriously, Gu Ji put down his chopsticks, returned his tray, and walked out of the kitchen.

Gao Bo and the others exchanged looks, chuckled, and followed him out, looking forward to the show.

At the entrance of the Dragon and Tiger Assault Team headquarters.

Gu Ji saw a slender woman with fair skin, wearing a yellow hoodie and light blue jeans. Her short hair was pinned behind her ears with a black baseball cap, revealing her delicate features, making her look clean and neat.

It was hard to imagine that she was Li Huiran.

She looked nothing like the person who was crying her heart out and shouting for death yesterday.

"Are you Li..."

"Yes, I’m Li Huiran. I remember you, you’re Gu Ji. Thank you for risking your life to save me yesterday. I came specifically to thank you today!"

Li Huiran’s lips curled into a slight smile, forming two shallow dimples.

She smiled as she took out a banner and a bouquet of fresh flowers from behind her back.

The banner read clearly: "People’s Guardian with Great Kindness, Brave Acts to Save the Distressed!"

This was the first time Gu Ji received such an encouraging gesture since he was a child, and he didn’t know how to respond, "Miss Li, you’re too kind. Please come in and have a seat in the office!"

After saying this, he turned his head.

He saw Gao Bo and others hiding behind a tree, grinning broadly.

Gu Ji glared at them, worried they might frighten Li Huiran. Waving them away like flies, he personally led her into the office building.

Along the way, Li Huiran acted like a curious baby, looking left and right.

After all, it’s not easy for ordinary people to see what the Special Police Unit, especially the Dragon and Tiger Assault Team’s training grounds and work environment, is like.

Inside the office, unsure if it was to tease Gu Ji or because of Li Huiran’s good looks.

Gao Bo and the others busied themselves offering tea and pulling up chairs.

Meanwhile, Li Huiran chatted with them while looking around in wonder.

After a moment, Gu Ji called his direct supervisor Zhang Wenjun back.

Under his guidance, Gao Bo took a picture of the three of them holding the banner under the police emblem. They then hung the banner on the office wall and placed the flowers on Gu Ji’s desk.

After doing all this, just before leaving.

Li Huiran called Gu Ji in the corridor and took out her phone, showing a row of straight teeth.

"Officer Gu, can I add you on WeChat? I know you might have concerns, and you can take what I said yesterday as words said in heightened emotions. I just think you’re a genuinely nice person and would like to be friends, is that okay?"

"Oh, of course, you can."

Seeing her sincere tone, Gu Ji couldn’t refuse.

After adding her on WeChat, he personally escorted Li Huiran to a taxi, watching it drive away before raising an eyebrow slightly.

For some reason, perhaps because he had just completed Operation 324 and his nerves had been tense for a long time, he felt a bit confused.

He had a vague feeling that meeting Li Huiran today was somewhat familiar.

But after pondering for a long time, he couldn’t recall where he had seen her before.

Shaking his head, Gu Ji just shrugged it off as his mistake and returned to work to continue his shift.

Over the next week, as the "air rescue incident" gradually faded from the internet, Gu Ji’s life returned to normal.

He continued with his intense daily training.

He was right, the construction site behind the office building was indeed for building an outdoor swimming pool, intended to enhance their armed swimming skills.

As for the police dog, Duci, it gradually started to develop a bit of rapport with Gu Ji and the others through their continuous companionship.

The only difference was that almost every day, Li Huiran would chat with him.

Although Gu Ji was usually very busy and didn’t have much time to reply to her.

This woman always maintained a certain enthusiasm towards him, frequently sharing photos of her daily life, such as what she ate, what clothes she wore today, and interesting things she discovered, sometimes even inviting him to meet up.

Naturally, Gu Ji wasn’t foolish.

Wang Hongwei and Zhang Wenjun had already reminded him about this, and he could sense Li Huiran’s ambiguous attitude.

But Gu Ji was too embarrassed to directly address it.

On one hand, he couldn’t determine her true feelings, on the other hand, Li Huiran had just gone through emotional turmoil, and if Gu Ji didn’t handle it well, it could easily cause her secondary harm.

And today is Friday, the start of the weekend.

Gu Ji originally planned to go home early, tidy up his gaming gear, and start his gaming challenge.

But Li Huiran invited him to dinner via WeChat again, even saying she’d wait for him at the office entrance after work, which made him feel a bit troubled.
