"No need, I wasn't much help anyway," Xu Moran said earnestly.

No one accepts a reward without merit, especially those in their line of work. Even if they have made a great contribution, the organization will naturally reward them. Any kindness from outside the organization can only be appreciated in their hearts.

This is a principle and a discipline that must be followed if one wants to remain in the police force.

"You must accept it, you absolutely must accept it!" Pei Hang said earnestly and seriously, "It's just a small token of our appreciation."

No matter what he said, Xu Moran wouldn't accept it. Just as she was about to refuse again, Pei Hang said, "Officer, to tell you the truth, this seafood isn't just for you. Half of it is to thank your boyfriend. When I said 'overbearing' earlier, I was referring to him."

Xu Moran was stunned for a moment before she realized who he was referring to as her boyfriend.

Xu Ye inexplicably became her boyfriend. Facing a stranger, Xu Moran didn't explain. Just as she was hesitating whether to accept Xu Ye's share, Pei Hang put the bag of seafood at her feet and ran away.

Xu Moran's instinctive reaction as a police officer was not to pick up the bag on the ground, but to run after Pei Hang.

When Pei Hang was grabbed by Xu Moran, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. Had he been careless?

He had completely forgotten that his future sister-in-law was a police officer, and one who worked on the front lines, so naturally she was fast and skilled.

Although Pei Hang felt a tingling sensation on his scalp after being grabbed by Xu Moran, it did not affect his brain, which was working at high speed.

He was thinking of a way to deceive Xu Moran.

"You can either take the seafood back, or I'll give you the money." Xu Moran realized that holding onto Pei Hang was inappropriate and quickly let go.

Pei Hang, being a surgeon, worked quickly and came up with a perfect excuse in less than a minute: "Officer, you absolutely have to accept the seafood. I'm begging you, otherwise my girlfriend will torture me to death."

To prove that what he said was true, he tried to squeeze out a few tears after he finished speaking, but his eyes were so tightly squeezed that his eyeballs almost popped out, and his eyes still didn't get wet at all.

If he had known he would have to act out a tragic scene, he would have gotten his eye drops ready earlier, and he wouldn't be in such a passive position now.

There's no going back in life. Since he couldn't cry, he had no choice but to resort to drastic measures. Before Xu Moran could recover from his pleading, he had already grabbed her arms and was about to kneel down. "Officer, please, please beg me!"

Just as he was about to kneel down, Xu Moran grabbed him and stopped him, asking, "What happened to you?"

As a police officer, Xu Moran possesses an innate sense of justice inherent in her profession. Especially upon hearing the desperate cries for help, she felt compelled to find out what was happening and do everything in her power to help him.

"Officer, you have no idea what it's like to have a girlfriend with a very high sex drive." Pei Hang quickly got into character, saying with a mournful face, "I'm so unlucky to have met her, officer. I'm not afraid to tell you, but the happiest and most relaxed days of the month are when she has her period. Sometimes, I really wish she would only have her period twice a year, for six months each time."

Xu Moran stared in disbelief, his mouth opening and closing repeatedly, unsure of what to say. He simply kept his mouth shut and chose to remain silent.

Whether she responded or not didn't diminish Pei Hang's desire to continue. "Officer, guess where I'm most afraid right now?"
