Shi Nian didn't know how long she had been asleep, but when she woke up, she realized she was still in Huangfu Huazhang's castle.
Outside the window, the sky was filled with colorful clouds.
Patches of cloudlight, resembling flames, unfurled on the azure sky, stretching all the way to the horizon.
She was still in a dream, still seeing Dad's smiling face. Dad gently stroked her hair and said to her softly but firmly, "The profession of a police officer symbolizes not only authority but often sacrifice. In this world, there is both justice and evil, and sometimes upholding justice requires a police officer to sacrifice their life. Nian Nian, you are the daughter of a police officer, do not be sad."
"Awake?"
Huangfu Huazhang's concerned voice, tinged with a hint of hoarseness, reached her ears. Shi Nian quickly turned to look, and it turned out he had been sitting on the chair by the bed the whole time.
