Chapter 1: The Flame of Ambition

Next Chapter

Zhou Yi never thought that death would suddenly befall him.

At the pedestrian crossing, which had been crossed countless times, a non-martial car ignored the red signal lights at the intersection and crossed the zebra crossing at an extremely frantic speed.

He didn't have time to react, let alone dodge, and even the moment he was knocked away, he didn't have time to panic.

The surrounding scenery kept spinning, and then turned into a bloody red, Zhou Yi didn't feel any pain at all, but he could clearly feel that his life was fading rapidly.

Zhou Yi slowly closed his eyes, and his forty years of life experience turned into countless shots, which flashed in his mind one by one.

The first time I went to school, the first time I skipped school, the first time I got into a fight, the first time I quarreled with my parents, the first time I ran away from home, the first time I fell in love, the first time I fell in love, the first time I got drunk, the first time I worked, the first time I was scolded as a grandson by my leader, and the first time I was expelled from public office......

He was also high-spirited and ambitious, but he couldn't withstand setbacks and blows again and again, and was finally smoothed out by reality.

So in this movie called life, he can only be a trick, a passerby, and a little person standing like a minion!

At the moment when his consciousness fell into darkness, Zhou Yi suddenly realized that his life was such a failure!

But alas, he didn't have a chance to rewrite it!

……

Summer 2005.

Anping City, Dongji County.

Qinghe Township Police Station.

In the bathroom, Zhou Yi stared motionlessly at the strange and familiar face in the mirror.

is unfamiliar, because this is not his usual middle-aged appearance with loose skin, dull and depressed.

Familiar because it was exactly what he looked like when he was young, sunny and vibrant.

Zhou Yi stretched out his fingers and gently swiped them across his face, the tight and smooth touch reminding him that this face was real and not illusory.

He's not dead!

No, to be precise, he was born again.

Just now, he woke up from the bed in the duty room of the police station and found that he had returned to eighteen years ago, that is, the third year when he passed the civil service exam to become a police officer and was assigned to the Qinghe Township Police Station.

Zhou Yi lowered his head, found his own blue washbasin from the corner, put it on the sink, unscrewed the faucet with a slightly trembling hand, and watched in a daze as the cold water slowly filled the basin.

Then he lifted the washbasin high and poured a full basin of water on his head.

From head to toe, the whole body is cold.

However, looking at himself in the mirror who was soaked and looked a little embarrassed, Zhou Yi couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart and laughed out loud.

"Muddy boy, what are you crazy about here?"

With a light drink, Zhou Yi's laughter came to an abrupt end.

Turning his head and looking at the tall figure that appeared at the door of the bathroom, Zhou Yi couldn't help but have mixed feelings in his heart, and he couldn't speak for a while.

After a pause for a few seconds, he said in an extremely complicated tone: "Director, you're back!" ”

Zhang Liping.

Director of Qinghe Township Police Station.

is cold-hearted and warm-hearted, and has always taken good care of him.

Even in the days when he was dismissed from public office and sluggish, Zhang Liping always dismissed him, encouraged him, and found him a job in the county enterprise.

It's a pity that this veteran leader, who has been rooted in the countryside for nearly ten years, later collapsed at work due to a heart attack.

"Look at your worthless bear, isn't it just a lost love, what? The sky fell? Not alive anymore? ”

Zhang Liping had just finished a meeting in the county, and as soon as he came back, he saw Zhou Yi 'masochistic' there, and he was immediately angry, and stepped forward to reprimand him with a slap on his head and face.

"What's the use of crying all day long? Can you make someone's parents change their minds, or can you bring the object back to tears? If you Zhou Yi want to be a man, you should do your job well, climb up hard, and then let those who look down on you regret their intestines, that is called ability. Do you understand? Now immediately, get out of the house and change clothes for Lao Tzu and prepare for the meeting. ”

The exact same reprimand, Zhou Yi felt extremely harsh back then, but now he feels extremely warm and cordial.

If it weren't for the elder adult's 'reminder', he almost forgot that just a few days ago, his girlfriend Li Qian chose to break up with him.

This incident really hit him hard at that time, and there was a kind of pain, sadness and helplessness of 'swallow, how can I live without you', so it is normal for his behavior just now to be misunderstood by Zhang as 'self-abuse'.

"I understand, thank you Zhang."

Zhou Yi raised his hand, solemnly saluted the director, and then strode out of the bathroom.

This kid......

Zhang Liping looked at Zhou Yi's back with suspicious eyes, he felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it for a while.

A few minutes later, Zhou Yi changed into a police uniform, stood in front of the mirror again, and silently looked at himself in the mirror.

In many cases, from a later perspective, it is a meaningless act to regret one's choice at that time, to blame or even hate one's hesitation, cowardice, or impulsiveness and carelessness at that time.

Because there are no ifs in life, fate cannot be assumed.

No one can change the facts that have happened.

But for Zhou Yi, it's different!

Now he has a chance to rewrite his life.

And this timeβ€”

I swear, you must see me!

In the mirror, a young man in a police uniform pursed his lips, and in his bright eyes, there was a flame called ambition, burning brightly.
