"What's the point of an apology? If apologies were effective, what would be the purpose of law enforcement?"
Yu Shiyue deliberately kept a straight face, seemingly unmoved.
Perhaps subconsciously she also felt that if she moved on from this matter so quickly, it would seem a bit too deliberate.
It's easy for Chu Yuying to associate this with other things.
This little girl is not as innocent as she appears.
Having spent so much time with Chu Yuying, Yu Shiyue knew this very well.
"Hehe, then go ahead and arrest me. I'll agree to anything Sister Xiaoyue decides."
Chu Yuying chuckled and rubbed against Yu Shiyue's chest, looking adorable and charming.
"...You really are someone I can't get angry at at all."
Yu Shiyue couldn't hold back in the end. Her serious demeanor only lasted a few minutes before crumbling. Chu Yuying was just too adorable, making her overturn her decision even though she had made up her mind to throw a tantrum.
"Hehehe... Sister Xiaoyue is the best."
Chu Yuying threw herself into Yu Shiyue's arms like a cat that had made a mistake and knew how to whine and roll around.
Yu Shiyue had no choice but to forgive.
But whether it's just joking around or genuinely getting angry and choosing to forgive, it doesn't matter.
Chu Yuying's actions today have truly planted a seed in Yu Shiyue's heart.
This made Yu Shiyue vaguely realize something.
This premonition was too terrifying for Yu Shiyue to face, so even though she was aware of it, she forcibly put it out of her mind, like an ostrich burying its head in the sand, thinking that as long as it can't see the danger, it's safe.
They buried their heads in the desert, refusing to lift their heads and face the reality.
...
Cherry Blossom Street, the roadside outside Norton Coffee Shop.
"Hmm..."
Xia Che took out his phone and glanced at the time, his brows furrowing slightly.
I'm already ten minutes late.
Given their decisive and efficient nature, they shouldn't be this late.
Did you stay up late last night?
Thinking about it, it's quite possible. When I called the other person just now, they were clearly still half asleep and their speech was slurred.
"You must get up quickly... Today's matter is no small thing."
Xia Che rubbed his temples and sighed.
He had already decided that he would wait a little longer, and if they still didn't come, he would go to their door himself.
"Xia Che!"
Fortunately, the other person hadn't overslept, and although they were a little late, they still made it.
"Sorry, sorry, I stayed up all night last night and didn't realize it at first..."
Xia Che felt a fragrant breeze and saw Xiao Yihan, wearing a wool sweater and blue shorts, standing in front of him, bent over and slightly out of breath.
Xiao Yihan is the law enforcement officer that Xia Che plans to bring in.
Only someone with an overwhelming sense of justice would agree to her plan.
Of course...
It's absolutely not because Xia Che couldn't find any other law enforcement officers besides Xiao Yihan, absolutely not!
What do you want to tell me?
Xiao Yihan gently patted her chest, and Xia Che felt a surge of waves as he looked at her, so he quickly looked away.
"Do you need something? If not, let's go inside and talk."
Xia Che looked around. It was rush hour, and the roadside was full of pedestrians, so it wasn't a good place to talk.
He then pointed to the Norton Coffee Shop next to him, his eyes asking a question.
"Yes, there is, but it can still take the time to drink a cup of coffee... Let's go inside and talk."
Xiao Yihan smoothed her hair and took the lead into the coffee shop. Seeing this, Xia Che didn't hesitate and followed closely behind.
After ordering their coffee, the two found an empty seat and sat facing each other.
It was rush hour, after all. Apart from the two of them, very few other office workers or students would choose to sit here and finish their coffee before leaving.
Most of them are packaged.
"Is the police station really that busy? We just worked all night yesterday, and now we have to get up so early to go to work?"
Xia Che took a sip of his iced Americano, savoring the explosion of flavor on his tongue—a taste exactly like the broth from a hot pot—and nodded with satisfaction.
It's this smell of hot pot broth that's so refreshing!
"Don't even mention it... A big guy recently came to Jiang City, and everyone at the police station is on high alert. The workload is at least higher than before..."
Xiao Yihan counted on her fingers and then held up three: "Three times."
"It's practically non-stop work. I don't think I'll have a holiday for a long time to come. Sigh..."
Xiao Yihan shrugged, looking quite helpless.
"That's outrageous! Who is the other party?"
Upon hearing this, Xia Che immediately raised an eyebrow.
Am I really that unlucky?
He was just about to ask Xiao Yihan for help, but she was already so busy. How could Xia Che possibly ask her for help?
If the workload triples...
If you add your own plans, wouldn't that increase it fourfold?
Even four times the amount might not be enough.
Xiao Yihan will be exhausted...
"The captain told me not to say too much. You just need to know that he is a very cunning fraudster who has been committing crimes back and forth between Zhejiang City and Jiang City for five years without leaving any evidence. We don't even know his identity. I guess he must have some big plan when he returns to Jiang City this time."
Xiao Yihan took a sip of the latte in front of her. Unlike Xia Che, she didn't have that kind of self-torture-like habit of trying to stay awake.
For Xiao Yihan, any cold and refreshing drink can refresh her.
Iced Americano?
Even dogs won't drink it...
"Oh, I see... Well then, it seems you won't have time to help me with this."
Xia Che shrugged, his expression somewhat strange.
Are there really this many scammers in Jiang City lately?
I encountered one myself, and Xiao Yihan actually had one too?
Is Jiang City some kind of spawn point for scammers...?
"Are you in trouble?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yihan tilted her head slightly, "No, just tell me what happened. I only didn't tell anyone because of the special nature of the mission."
"If it were you, I could make time to help you."
Xiao Yihan looked serious. She placed the latte on the table, then held it with both hands, leaning her upper body slightly forward, looking very earnest.
When people like someone, they'll do everything they can to help them.
This gives them a great sense of accomplishment, and Xiao Yihan is no exception.
"Well... my situation doesn't need to be kept secret, but it's quite complicated."
Xia Che coughed lightly. He didn't like beating around the bush, so since Xiao Yihan had asked, he would just answer directly.
Although Feng Yang's situation was complicated, Xia Che had a good ability to summarize, and soon he told Xiao Yihan about the whole story and the plan he had made.
"……Grass."
Xiao Yihan listened blankly, as if petrified, and after a long while she suddenly squeezed out a perfectly enunciated curse.
"What a coincidence!"
