“Xiaoye, is everything okay?”


  Dong Xiaoye had been called back to the police station by her captain. It most likely had something to do with me. Liusu had also heard from me that someone had filed a complaint against her, so she also had a serious expression on her face when she found out who was calling.

  “No! Something bad happened!”


  I asked in confusion, “what happened?”


  “Little Chu, you definitely will never be able to guess why Captain Lin wanted to call me back to the station.” Dong Xiaoye was so excited as if she was on some kind of drug. She said loudly over the phone, “I’m telling you, just like I guessed, someone indeed stabbed me in the back, saying that the two of us and Xu Heng might be accomplices…”


  Was there something wrong with her brain? Why was she so happy to be framed? ! I held back my anger and asked, “who is that boring guy?”


  “I doubt you will be able to figure out who that person is.” Dong Xiaoye deliberately kept me in suspense, “but I’ve already guessed that it might be him from the very beginning…”


  ‘Damn this woman! Did she want to see me die from anxiety?’


  I anxiously said, “who the hell is it? Just tell me already. I have other things to do, and I must hurry home immediately. I don’t have time to play games with you…”


  “What do you mean play games? I was just joking with you. I’m calling you because I have something that I need to discuss with you.” Sister Tiger was dissatisfied with my attitude. “You are going home right now, right? Then I will come to you and discuss with you in person. Humph, you are such an unfunny guy!”


  After that, she actually hung up the phone directly.

  I was completely speechless. It was at this moment, Liusu poked me to remind me that the elevator had reached the first floor.

  “Both Yuan Yuan and Sister Xiaoye have something that they want to tell you. And it seems like the things they want to tell you are very serious. Nan Nan, should I go with you as well?”


  “That’s not necessary, if there really is something, I will call you.” Chu Yuan hadn’t completely forgiven Liusu. If she went to my flat at this time, there was no guarantee that Chu Yuan would not give her a hard time and make her feel embarrassed. I smiled and said, “focus on your work and don’t worry that much. Especially, don’t worry about me.”


  “Huh! Who said that I am worried about you.” Walking out of the small enclosed space, Liusu returned to the usual boyish temperament, for fear of being seen as a weak woman by other people. However, her pretense was only able to last for a few seconds under my gaze. “Besides, you are that competent, you don’t need me to worry about it at all…” With a flushed face, she murmured.

  I stretched out my hand and pinched Liusu’s cheek lightly and chuckled. Under everyone’s stunned gazes and Liusu’s embarrassing and angry complaint, I quickly walked away and left the company……

  Before the taxi had stopped, I had already seen Dong Xiaoye’s car. Coincidentally, she had also just arrived.

  “Is your flat on fire?” When Dong Xiaoye saw me, she couldn’t help but complain. Obviously, she was not satisfied with my attitude on the phone.

  At this moment, I didn’t have the mood to quarrel with her. While walking hurriedly toward my flat, I sneered and said, “I know that it was my fault to give you an attitude over the phone earlier, but I’m really in a hurry.”


  Dong Xiaoye could already see the signs from my hurried footsteps. With a serious face, she quickly followed me and said, “what is it? You look very worried.”


  ‘How would I know? If I knew, I would not need to be this worried.’


  “Let’s talk inside.”


  Dong Xiaoye nodded and didn’t ask any more questions. She just whispered, “I also need to tell you something urgently…”


  “Let’s talk inside.” I still said these four words again. Dong Xiaoye was dazed, her expression was a little unhappy.

  I noticed the change in Dong Xiaoye’s expression. Feeling a little puzzled, I asked, “what’s wrong?”


  “Nothing,” Dong Xiaoye turned her face to look forward and said softly, “I just think that you are trying to brush me off. Why don’t you ask me why I am looking for you?”


  I was dazed. If it was simply based on what Sister Tiger said, it indeed looked like that. I was very worried about Chu Yuan, so I didn’t pay much attention to Dong Xiaoye. In the eyes of Sister Tiger, this kind of attitude was like I was trying to brush her off. It was very rude.

  Thinking that she also said that it was something urgent, I couldn’t help but feel ashamed.

  Trying to make up for it, I asked with a flattering expression, “Sister Xiaoye, I’m sorry, it was indeed my fault. So, why are you looking for me?”


  Dong Xiaoye turned her head, glanced at me coldly, and snorted, “huh! Let’s talk inside.”


  I was speechless…


  This woman was really petty-minded. She actually used the words I said to get even with me…


  Seeing that Dong Xiaoye’s pretentious face couldn’t hide the hint of a satisfied smile, I also smiled. Sister Tiger was really childish, but this also made her look very cute at the same time.

  Although the wound on my thigh had gradually healed, it was still not suitable for walking for a long time. The doctor suggested that I needed to use a wheelchair or crutch, but I found it very troublesome. Firstly, I felt that apart from going to the hospital, I had almost no other activities that required me to stand up. Secondly, it was because I already had Dong Xiaoye acting as my crutch.

  But now my crutch seemed to be throwing a temper, and I was embarrassed to take the initiative to put my arm on her shoulder. After all, no matter how manly she was, she was still a woman. So I could only grit my teeth to endure the pain caused by standing up for too long.

  After finally getting to the third floor, I heard two unfamiliar voices coming from the fourth floor.

  “Are you sure it is here?” The speaker was a woman. From her tone, it sounded like she was in a rush. Moreover, it also revealed an invisible elegance, which made people feel that she was not an ordinary woman. There was also a bit of dissatisfaction in her tone.

  Then a man’s hoarse voice appeared. “Yes, it can’t be wrong. Miss Zhen, this is the place.” The man’s Mandarin wasn’t fluent, but he said in a very respectful tone.

  Before the voice fell, there was a quick knocking sound on the door.

  Dong Xiaoye and I looked at each other, she was puzzled, and I was even more confused.

  There were only two flats on the fourth floor. My neighbor Zhou Tian was a thief. He was caught by Dong Xiaoye and was currently in prison, so it was very obvious that the person on the fourth floor was currently knocking on my door. But I didn’t know anyone that couldn’t speak mandarin fluently.

  The female voice sounded again, “No one opened the door? Then take down the door! Are you all stupid! Stop wasting my time!”


  My and Dong Xiaoye’s faces changed at the same time. From the way the woman talked, it seemed like taking down other people’s doors was a normal thing. Did she not know that she was breaking the law. I tried my best to speed up and walk upstairs. At the same time, I said coldly, “I think the only one that is stupid is you! Do you not know that the reason why no one is opening the door for you is probably that no one is at home?”


  There were three people outside my flat, two men and one woman. Perhaps because of the sound of footsteps, they turned around before they saw me. When we saw each other, we were all surprised.

  I was surprised because I didn’t even know or had never even met the three people outside my flat. Then I saw the only woman stepping forward, pushing up the big sunglasses on her nose, and said, “are you the owner of this flat?” Her tone was full of suspicion.

  I was both angry and amused. Just when I wanted to say something, I was pulled aside by the vigilant Sister Tiger. “So, you don’t even know whose flat this is, but you are going to take the door down?”


  Dong Xiaoye was like a tiger that had smelt the food, her aura of a policewoman not only wasn’t leaked out but concealed even more. The atmosphere on the fourth floor immediately became unusually quiet. The two strong men in black on the opposite side of us immediately moved forward to guard the woman behind them.

  Who was this woman? And those two strong men in black clearly looked like her bodyguards.

  The woman had short hair. She was dressed in a relatively gender-neutral black uniform. Her figure was very slim, even slimmer than Liusu; especially her chest, even flatter than Liusu’s… Although she was wearing a big pair of sunglasses, which almost covered the upper half of her face, it could still be seen that she, who had light makeup on, had a delicate and charming appearance. If it weren’t for the phrase “take down the door” and “are you all stupid”, I would’ve definitely mistaken her as an elegant lady of some noble family. Although the way she dressed made her look more mature, her actual age should not be too old, at most twenty-four or twenty-five.

  I definitely didn’t know this person.

  “I’m sorry, I haven’t introduced myself…” The woman waved her hand. The two strong men retreated behind her respectfully. Their behavior made me feel very speechless. I felt like I was watching some kind of movie. “My name is Zhen Nuo, I am sorry that I came uninvited today, but I am here to look for a person……” The woman ignored Dong Xaioye and reached out her hand to me. This made Dong Xiaoye almost lose her temper instantly.

  I hesitated for a second, but eventually shook hands with this woman named Zhen Nuo. Her hand was small, but it had a lot of strength. There were hard calluses on the palms of her hand. This was not in line with her delicate appearance. I was even more confused. Why was this kind of woman appearing outside my flat?

  “Who are you looking for?”


  Zhen Nuo looked at me up and down impolitely for a long time before asking, “I’m sorry, is this Lady Chu Yuan’s home?”


  Chu Yuan? And lady? This title made me and Dong Xiaoye stunned at the same time.

  Whether it was talking to me and Dong Xiaoye, or the strong men in black suits behind her, this woman would always show a condescending look. But when she mentioned Chu Yuan’s name, she actually revealed a trace of respect.

  I couldn’t help but frown, “Yes…”
