Lin Qianmo snorted coldly, picked up her chopsticks, took a bite, and hissed...

This tangy flavor is absolutely amazing!

Holding back tears, his handsome face flushed red, he defiantly raised his chin at Cang Yue.

Cang Yue curled her lips in disdain, picked up the bowl and took a sip of soup!

Cang Yue gulped down a mouthful of the numbing, spicy, and scalding soup, causing An Qianbai to widen her eyes in astonishment, while Gu Liyan couldn't help but secretly give her a thumbs up.

Girl, I admire you as a true hero!

Lin Qianmo was completely dumbfounded. Compared to her bowl of noodles, this older woman was the clear winner! She immediately stopped talking and silently began to eat.

When Cang Yue saw Lin Qianmo's appearance, she couldn't help but laugh. But this laugh had a serious effect, as she choked on the spicy hot pot soup she was about to swallow!

"Cough cough cough..." Cang Yue was immediately in trouble, and even after swallowing the soup, she still choked.

Tears streamed down his face uncontrollably, a burning sensation filled his throat with nowhere to vent, and even his nose felt like it was burning with heat with nowhere to exhale.

Seeing Cang Yue's face turn red and she look pained, Lin Qianmo hurriedly got up and splashed the bottled water she had just bought all over her face...

"Ah! You bastard! Cough cough, what are you doing?!" Cang Yue screamed angrily.

Without saying a word, Lin Qianmo pinched Cang Yue's nose and poured water into her mouth. Cang Yue was even more embarrassed by Lin Qianmo's actions.

"Cough cough...cough cough..." Cang Yue seemed to feel like she was drowning and kept slapping Lin Qianmo, even digging her hands into her flesh with all her might, the force of which was incredibly painful!

Lin Qianmo winced in pain and finally released her grip. Cang Yue coughed twice, wiped the water from her face, and pointed at Lin Qianmo angrily, "You madwoman! What are you doing?!"

Lin Qianmo covered her hands, looking at Cang Yue's eyes, which were red with anger. For some reason, she didn't dare to yell back at her. Instead, she timidly spoke:

"I...I'm trying to help you..."

"Do I need your help? You bastard!" Cang Yue cursed angrily and turned to leave.

Watching Cang Yue leave, Gu Liyan hurriedly instructed An Qianbai, "I'll keep an eye on Cang Yue, you stay with Lin Qianmo."

After saying that, he chased after them.

Although An Qianbai didn't know Lin Qianmo's name, she could guess that the girl whose hand had been scratched was the Lin Qianmo that Gu Liyan had mentioned.

Lin Qianmo looked down at the bleeding back of her hand and sighed helplessly.

The waiter brought over An Qianbai's spicy hot pot and, seeing the blood on Lin Qianmo's hand, immediately asked her with concern:

"Beautiful lady, do you... do you want to go to the hospital to get checked out? Or, we could help you call the police..."

Lin Qianmo shook her head and replied softly, "No need to trouble yourself, I am a police officer."

Hearing Lin Qianmo's words, the waiter was a little surprised. Lin Qianmo looked the same age as him, so how could she be a police officer?

Lin Qianmo ignored the waiter's surprised look, casually wiped her hands with a tissue, and continued eating. Seeing her eat, An Qianbai stared at her noodles and also picked up her chopsticks to start eating.

Gu Liyan caught up with Cang Yue as soon as they stepped out the door. "Wait! Cang Yue!"

Cang Yue turned her head. "I was just wondering how you knew my name. Can you give me an explanation now?"

Gu Liyan was slightly taken aback, and for a moment he couldn't come up with a suitable reason. "Um—actually, I..."

“I already know even if you don’t say it. You’re the instructor sent by the police academy to pass the test, right?” Cang Yue straightened her appearance and spoke.

Gu Liyan looked at Cang Yue with a blank expression.

Police academy pass?

Instructor?

What the hell is this?

"I guessed who you are. Shouldn't you give me a passing grade?" Cang Yue said with a smug smile.

"..."

Gu Liyan felt like a million curses were stampeding through his mind. Could someone explain to him what was going on?

Seeing Gu Liyan's utterly dejected expression, Cang Yue patted him on the shoulder. "Instructor, it's normal for people to guess your identity. There are still three minutes until midnight. Can I join now?"

Gu Liyan frowned and pushed her hand away. Not only did he dislike being touched by anyone other than his family, but he also couldn't accept Cang Yue, a former demon, touching him.

"Sorry, I don't know what you're talking about. I'm not the instructor in the game you're playing; I'm just a passerby."

"Impossible! You know my name, you must be the instructor! According to the rules, if I identify someone, you must admit I passed!" Cang Yue said confidently, "You can't fool me!"

Gu Liyan shook his head: "I'm really not!"

“You…” Cang Yue pointed at Gu Liyan, wanting to say something, but suddenly her gaze went straight to Gu Liyan’s shoulder.

Gu Liyan looked down in confusion, then suddenly noticed three red claw marks on his shoulder: "This is...blood?!"

Cang Yue shuddered, looking down at her fingernails, blood still clinging to the crevices of her long nails…

The mission I had been given immediately came to mind—

First, ensure that no one enters the territory you are guarding.

Second, identify and verify the identities of suspected individuals and instructors.

Upon realizing that Lin Qianmo had inexplicably stopped at the door of her guard cell, Cang Yue's expression changed drastically. She looked down at her watch; it was almost midnight, and she immediately turned and ran back as fast as she could...

Seeing Cang Yue run back, Gu Liyan followed her with a puzzled expression.

Lin Qianmo ate her noodles at a leisurely pace; the bowl was almost empty. She glanced down at her watch and shook her head: it seemed she had already…
