The atmosphere among everyone had turned somewhat somber.
While Captain Zhao and Saa had to put on strong fronts for the girl, their viewers went wild.
"This little girl has it really tough!"
"Well, there's nothing that can be done about it. Her father broke the law. If those firearms were to get into the wrong hands, innocent people would still suffer!"
"Captain Zhao and Saa are really holding it in!"
"Go, Saa!"
"Captain Zhao, you can do it!"
"In reality, you all should stay optimistic. Xia Zixin is a determined girl who aspires to be a police officer. If she's truly the person we're hoping she becomes, she would throw her father behind bars as an adult!"
Saa and Captain Zhao refrained from interacting directly with Xia Zixin.
Instead, they discussed a strategy to keep this matter hidden as much as possible.
Upon seeing Saa and Captain Zhao approach, Xia Zixin immediately brightened up. "Misters, let's play a game together!"
Saa sighed before summoning a smile.
"Sure!
"But the students are all in class. We shouldn't disrupt them, right?
"You mentioned that you have numerous weapons at home. I'm a little curious. Can we go take a look?"
Xia Zixin blinked at Saa.
After a brief silence, she responded, "My dad told me that I'm not supposed to bring strangers home. Mr. Saa, are you a stranger?"
"Xia Zixin, do you understand the concept of a stranger?" Saa smiled.
Xia Zixin pursed her lips and pondered for a moment, "Dad said that if they're not my friends, then they're strangers!"
Both Saa and Captain Zhao couldn't help but chuckle.
It had to be noted that this little girl was very sharp.
However, her father's influence was unmistakable.
If it weren't for her father, she wouldn't even be able to bring a firearm to school.
Saa squatted in front of Xia Zixin.
"Then, how do I become your friend?"
Xia Zixin responded earnestly, "I was playing games with the two cop ladies just now. We're already friends!
"Mr. Saa, let's play a game too. That way, we can become great friends!"
Saa and Captain Zhao exchanged glances.
Both of them shared a somewhat helpless expression. Her innocence only gave them all the more pain in the face of what was to come.
Captain Zhao also crouched down in front of Xia Zixin, "So, what game should we play?"
Xia Zixin smiled brightly, "Let's play cops and robbers!
"I've been playing this game with them just now!
"I and Mr. Saa will be the cops! You guys will be the robbers. We'll chase after you!"
Upon hearing this, Saa and Captain Zhao also let out chuckles.
It seemed that this little girl genuinely aspired to be a police officer. She even played at being one during her games.
The audience in the livestream room also joined in the laughter.
"Captain Zhao broke into the scene and is pretending to be a thief today."
"Xia Zixin, you've got this. Even if you can't become a police officer in the future, you can still contribute to society!"
"I just had an idea. Does Xia Zixin already know that the police were going to apprehend her father, so she purposely had Captain Zhao play the role of a thief to have some fun?"
"That's quite plausible. I've been watching the livestream since the beginning. Xia Zixin is remarkably astute!"
"Xia Zixin, was all of this within your foresight?!"
"Ola, Ola, Ola!"
The whimsical netizens were having a field day while Saa and Captain Zhao were indulging in games with Xia Zixin.
They ran around the small garden for a while.
Slightly out of breath, Saa suggested, "Xia Zixin, how about we take a brief break?"
It was quite a feat for the middle-aged man.
Captain Zhao also glanced at the time and said, "Xia Zixin, we need to approach everything earnestly.
"Even when playing games, we should be focused.
"Look, even when you're simulating a cop, you lack a firearm. You don't resemble a cop at all!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was momentarily taken aback.
It seemed that time was running out. Captain Zhao was about to unleash his ultimate move.
Xia Zixin also nodded with seriousness. "I do possess a gun, but it was taken away by another police officer just now."
Captain Zhao smiled.
"You mentioned earlier that your dad amassed an arsenal at home. Can we pay a visit to your house?
"We're friends now. May we come over to your place?"
The live chat was flooded with comments.
"Captain Zhao is making his move. How will Xia Zixin respond?!"
"I've been watching them run like fools for over half an hour. Finally, we're getting to the big scene!"
"What does a house capable of resisting extraterrestrial beings look like?"
Xia Zixin grinned and nodded.
"We've just become friends, so, of course, you can come over to my house to play!
"But... School isn't over yet. Can we go home?"
The homeroom teacher by her side promptly nodded. "It's been quite a day. We can dismiss class early!"
Captain Zhao had just conferred with the homeroom teacher.
After all, Xia Zixin was still quite young.
The homeroom teacher was also slated to accompany her to Xia Zixin's house later.
And so it went.
Everyone hopped into the police car and headed towards Xia Zixin's residence.
Around twenty minutes later, they arrived.
As soon as they stepped out of the car, Xia Xin was taken aback and turned to look at Captain Zhao.
"Uncle, how did you know my house is here?"
Captain Zhao quickly offered a grin, "I'm a police officer, so naturally, I know everything!"
Upon hearing this response, Xia Zixin's eyes sparkled with admiration.
"So impressive!
"When I grow up, I want to be a police officer like you, sir!"
Captain Zhao chuckled and patted her head, "As long as you study hard, come look for me when you're all grown up!
"By then, I'll teach you how to be a good person.
"You need to be a good person before becoming a good police officer!"
These words were delivered with subtlety.
Xia Zixin's father had broken the law by manufacturing firearms.
It was a grave crime indeed.
Xia Zixin could never become a police officer.
However, Captain Zhao didn't wish to shatter her small dream.
He hoped that as she grew older, she wouldn't follow in her father's footsteps and commit illegal acts.
Xia Zixin nodded resolutely, "Don't worry, Mr. Zhao. I'm a good person. I'll become a good police officer in the future!"
The moment these words were spoken, the audience in the livestream room sighed once more.
Numerous emotional viewers couldn't help but shed tears.
What a remarkable child!
If it weren't for her father, she might have truly grown up to become a fine police officer!
Xia Zixin's father was truly devoid of humanity!
