"Han Jiayin?"

Qi Jiu looked at the person in front of her, hesitant, as if she didn't recognize him at first, but confirmed it after looking at him for two seconds.

The person at the door had messy hair and was dressed in clothes that were no longer Han Jiayin's style. If her previous shirt and skirt outfit had a schoolgirl vibe, this outfit made her look ten years older. The dirty and messy shirt and the pants that didn't suit her gave her the look of a middle-aged woman.

Her makeup was no longer flawless. She looked somewhat tired without it.

His lips were pale, and he had dark circles under his eyes.

What... happened?

The other person also seemed surprised to see her here, and for a moment was stunned, "Qi, Qi Jiu?"

Upon receiving confirmation, Han Jiayin's expression changed drastically. She lunged forward, her face contorted with anger and her eyes bloodshot, a testament to her fury.

The girl dodged her attack by sidestepping.

He was watching her with great interest, but at the same time, he didn't quite understand why she had become like this.

"You've looked so haggard in just a few days? I remember that although your Han family isn't a prestigious clan, you shouldn't be short of money. Now you're broke and don't have any cosmetics?"

With her current clothes and appearance, someone who didn't know her might mistake her for a middle-aged woman.

Actually, "middle-aged woman" is not a derogatory term; it's just a bit of an exaggeration to describe someone in her early twenties.

Han Jiayin stared wide-eyed, knowing she couldn't do anything to Qi Jiu right now, and her eyes instantly reddened, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

"You're asking me? Isn't it all because of you? If you hadn't used your status to laugh at me and ruin my future, would I be in this situation? If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be targeting you. I would have become an international designer long ago!"

Hearing this, Qi Jiu laughed and crossed her arms as she looked at the person in front of her.

"Blame me? What does it matter to you when my identity is exposed? Besides, did I ask you to offer yourself to me? Did I ask you to find an old man? An international designer, huh? You've got some confidence."

As soon as she finished speaking, Han Jiayin choked up. She looked at Qi Jiu as if she had something to say, but in the end, she couldn't say anything.

"Bai Liang got divorced and is with you? So what are you doing now...?"

Who called the police?

Suddenly, Lin Chuan came out of the police station, paused for a moment when he saw Qi Jiu standing at the door, then looked at the person next to him and pursed his lips. "Did you report the case?"

"Report it to the police?"

Qi Jiu looked at Han Jiayin, who had a troubled expression, and then at her attire, as if she understood something.

Inside the reception room, Han Jiayin gritted her teeth, looking at the person next to her with a face full of incomprehension. "Why is she here? She works for your police station! Can't you let her leave?"

Han Jiayin, holding her teacup, looked at Qi Jiu, who sat rather unrestrainedly to the side, and then at Lin Chuan with a puzzled expression. At that moment, she felt both ashamed and angry.

Lin Chuan touched his nose, somewhat embarrassed, and replied, "To be precise, she is also considered a member of the police force, so there is no problem for her here."

Although he wasn't a police officer from a formal military academy, being nominated by Interpol makes him practically a member of the police force.

"Can't you let her leave? Look at her, she's obviously laughing at me! This is interfering with the investigation!"

Han Jiayin's face turned slightly red, seemingly because she felt embarrassed.

This time, before Lin Chuan could speak, Qi Jiu burst out laughing. "Watching you make a fool of yourself? Haven't I made a fool of you enough? What's one more time? Besides, I didn't say anything just now."

"you……"

"Okay, so you didn't come to report a crime? You came to the police station to argue?"

Lin Chuan looked at Qi Jiu somewhat embarrassed. He had just received a call from the police in his office, and the address turned out to be right in front of their police station. They said the person had already arrived at the station.

But why make a phone call when you're already at the police station? It's really incomprehensible.

But now that we've seen them, we have no choice but to ask.

After she finished speaking, Han Jiayin dared not say anything more, and could only express her dissatisfaction with her eyes.

"Why did you report this to the police?"

Han Jiayin's fingers, which were gripping the teacup, turned slightly white. "I... there's domestic violence in my family. My husband abuses me."

Qi Jiu: "??"

They got married so quickly? Didn't Bai Liang just get divorced not long ago? There wasn't even a wedding, and there wasn't a single word about it.

"Husband's information, home address..."

"Bai Liang, your home address is..."

Next, Qi Jiu listened like she was invisible, without saying a word or making any extra movements. Only near the end did Han Jiayin suddenly lose control of her emotions for some reason, and her voice became choked with sobs.

"Officer, Bai Liang and I are currently married, but he seems unwilling to divorce. Can we dissolve our marriage because of this? I don't want to continue living with him!"

Lin Chuan was taken aback. Looking at Han Jiayin's weathered face, he clearly knew what kind of life she had been going through these past few days, but in the end, he still shook his head.

"Whether or not the marriage can be dissolved is no longer a matter for our police station; it depends on how the court handles it. We can only ensure that he doesn't resort to violence again. As for your marriage, that's up to the court."

Just as Lin Chuan was about to say something more, he sensed a commotion outside the reception room.

He frowned, and turned around as if to turn back. Just as he turned around, he saw a man in a police uniform enter, his brows furrowed, as if he had encountered something troublesome.

"Team Leader Lin, there's some trouble outside. They say they're looking for someone, but they won't listen to anything we say."

"make trouble?"

Lin Chuan had just stood up when he heard a roar outside.

"Get out of my way! What are you doing blocking my way! I told you I'm here to see my wife, you're obstructing people from doing their business! Aren't you supposed to be serving the people? What are you doing! I'm here to see my wife!"

Hearing the somewhat familiar voice outside, Qi Jiu raised an eyebrow.

Looking at Han Jiayin next to her, her body was trembling with fear. The girl looked at her and narrowed her eyes.

As if he had just thought of something, he suddenly stood up and grabbed Han Jiayin's wrist in a moment of surprise. Before Han Jiayin could say anything, she felt her sleeve being rolled up.

Looking at the crisscrossing scars on her arm, it was as if her veil of shame had been lifted. Her hand trembled, and she instantly pulled her arm back.

"what you do!"

As if she felt ashamed of the scars on her arm, she hurriedly pulled her sleeve down to cover them.

Qi Jiu shook her head. "Look how scared you really are of Bai Liang right now."
