He did not bring anything with him, including his mobile phone, which he left at home.

An Xiaoning suddenly felt like the house was rather empty.

She did not wish to stay home.

Thus, she went to the police station instead.

There was no one inside the Special Investigation Unit office at all. An Xiaoning asked the other police officers, “Where have they gone?”

“They’re having a meeting with Bureau Chief in the meeting room.”

She nodded and immediately went to the meeting room.

Once she reached the meeting room, she stood outside the door to eavesdrop instead of entering right away. Only by eavesdropping will one hear the truest opinions that others have of you.

“Ma Jianguo, why are you so bad at keeping secrets? Who gave you permission to tell Team Leader An about that matter?”

Ma Jianguo answered, “Bureau Chief, someone will own up even if you don’t have the guts to. Just because you’re afraid to show your true colors doesn’t mean others are also afraid to expose the truth. Touch your heart and ask yourself if your conscience is clear. We mustn’t compromise our morals, especially as policemen. I don’t think I did anything wrong.”

“Yes, you may not have done anything wrong, but you should turn a blind eye to certain things.”

Unable to tolerate it any further, An Xiaoning pushed the door open and slammed it shut after entering. Pan Zhenghui was startled by her sudden appearance. “Hey, Xiaoning, you’re here.”

“Bureau Chief.”

“Yes.”

“I don’t agree with what you just said. If your child goes on a vacation and was murdered and used for blackmail, would you also turn a blind eye?” An Xiaoning questioned sternly.

“I’m helpless too. There’s nothing much I can do with someone threatening the higher authorities.”

“Who is it?”

“Well…”

“You’re so wishy-washy, did you receive bribes too?”

“No, no, of course not!” Pan Zhenghui put his hand up and said, “I swear to Heaven that I’ve never received bribes from anyone. If not, I’ll die a horrible death.”

An Xiaoning waved and said, “Okay, that’s enough. Look how petrified you are.”

“I’m a very timid person, don’t keep frightening me.”

“I was the one who stepped in and solved this case so it has nothing to do with you at all. However, you must tell me truthfully, who is the person threatening the higher authorities?”

“Well, it’s a little inconvenient for me to say this here. Can we talk in my office?”

“Alright.”

The two of them left while the rest of the police officers began discussing amongst themselves.

“Did you see that? Bureau Chief became as timid as a mouse the moment he saw Team Leader An.”

“Yeah, yeah, all he does is lose his temper and order us around, yet he’s a completely different person in front of Team Leader An.”

Team Leader Zhang stared at them and chastised, “Shut your mouths. Hurry and get back to work.”

….

“You may speak now,” said An Xiaoning, who sat down opposite him.

“It’s the Secretary…”

“Are you sure?”

“Of course, how could I spout nonsense about such things?”

Staring at him, An Xiaoning said, “Got it. I’ll call his leaders to check up on this matter. Don’t worry, I won’t tell them that you were the one who told me. Have you interrogated those people who have been arrested?”

“They were all interrogated last night. However, they don’t seem to be afraid at all and even said arrogantly that there would be someone to save them.”

“Let’s wait and see, then. We shall see if anyone is going to rescue them. Whoever intervenes at such a juncture is going to be really unlucky.”

“Xiaoning, here, have some tea,” Pan Zhenghui said, smiling while handing her a cup of tea he got from the dispenser.

She took it from him and asked, “Did you poison this?”

“Oh dear, don’t malign me. I wouldn’t dare to do that at all.”

“I’m just teasing you.”

“…”

“You guys shall settle the rest of the matters yourself. Tell the media about the truth accordingly, but don’t mention that I was involved.”

“We know what to do, of course, we’re not fools.”

“Are you very intelligent, then? If you’re intelligent, why did you berate such an upright policeman like Ma Jianguo? You ought to give him a reward instead.”

“Got it, I will.”

—

“Why do you keep staring at me like that?” Fang Erlan asked, touching her face.

“You’re beautiful.”

“How senseless…” Fang Erlan hissed. “Is there something you want to say?”

“My woman is just so telepathic with me.”

“Get lost, who’s your woman?”

He stood up and said, “There’s something I have to attend to lately and I can’t be your bodyguard for the time being. Get your studio to assign some bodyguards to you. I’ll get them to leave once I’m back.”

Is he leaving?

Unable to contain her joy, Fang Erlan said gleefully, “Sure, sure. That goes without saying. You don’t have to worry about this, the studio will arrange for it.”

“Are you that happy about me leaving?”

Fang Erlan smiled awkwardly. In order not to provoke him, she said, “No, I actually don’t want you to leave at all. Well, life is so much easier with you around.”

“Okay, since you can’t bear to let me go, I won’t leave.”

Dumbfounded, Fang Erlan wished she could bite her tongue off. “Huh? You’re not leaving?”

Xiao Chenyang walked toward her in an attempt to kiss her. However, Fang Erlan swiftly moved her head to the side to avoid him.

He immediately pounced on her and pinned her down beneath him. Her efforts to pull away were futile, regardless of how hard she tried to dodge. Fang Erlan felt like she was about to suffocate.

He finally let go and stared at her intensely. “I’ll definitely be back. If you dare get yourself a boyfriend or behave intimately with another man…”

She immediately said, “I won’t, I won’t, I definitely won’t.”

He gazed at her longingly and said in a mellow voice, “I’ll be back as soon as possible.”

Fang Erlan watched him leave. The moment the door was closed, she threw the bolster aside and muttered, “Who are you to me? We’re not related to each other at all. What right do you have to restrict me? Can’t believe you even expect me to remain chaste for you.”

She felt like she was completely under his control.

If I got married while he was away, when he returns…

There could be two possible outcomes. If he sees that I’ve gotten married when he’s back, he would either back off or he could also…

She dared not imagine what the second possible outcome may be. According to what she understood about him during the short period of time that they’d spent together, she knew that he was not one to compromise easily.

I would be in great trouble if he gets infuriated and skins me alive.

Besides, I don’t plan on getting married anyway.

I don’t even have a boyfriend…

Her temples began throbbing continuously as she was overwhelmed with perplexion and frustration.

She barely knew Xiao Chenyang and she had no idea who he was, where he came from, who his family was, and why he started pestering her out of nowhere.
