Chapter 6 - .6 Grandfather
The police cruiser arrived minutes after the ambulance had already departed. Jason stood by the sunlit curb, still shaken from rescuing the girl. Two officers stepped out—one male partner, and a tall, lean female constable he recognized from his early childhood: Officer Chen Mei.
Her sharp eyes found him almost immediately.
"Jason Yun," she said coolly, closing in. "I didn’t expect to see you here."
He nodded. "Officer Chen."
Mei’s lips curled in a half-smile. "I heard you saved some ."
He gestured towards the tied up thug
Mei’s eyes narrowed on the thug before her gaze flicked to the girl in the ambulance, who still hadn’t spoken a word. She sat wrapped in Jason’s jacket, staring blankly ahead, visibly traumatized.

"We managed to get her ID," he said quietly. "It was tucked into her inner jacket pocket."
She took it, glanced down at the name—and her eyes narrowed.
