Chapter Thirteen: The Jealousy Jar Has Been Overturned



At the police station, Li Zhiyi concealed his master's purpose for coming down the mountain, as well as his master's true identity.

She only mentioned her master's name; she made up his age because she didn't know how old he was.

"Name: Mr. Li, Age: 66, You live at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, right?" A young policewoman was entering the file into the computer.

"Yes, my master disappeared after he came down the mountain, and it's been more than half a month now."

"Do you know what your master's purpose is in coming down the mountain? Or who he wants to see? Think about it carefully."

Li Zhi thought about it carefully. Finally, she shook her head: "No, my master didn't say anything. He said he would come home in a week, but he hasn't." Thinking about this made her very sad.

"Alright, you can go now. We'll let you know if we have any news. Give me your phone number."

"I don't have a cell phone, and you think finding someone is this simple? Shouldn't you be searching for them? How can you find them if you don't send people to look for them?" Li Zhiyi was surprised that the police station was so inefficient.

Hearing that she didn't have a cell phone, the policewoman looked up at Li Zhizhi with slight surprise. This glance made her a little jealous. The woman in front of her was wearing a moon-white long dress, with a slender waist, her hair was simply tied up, and she was not wearing any accessories.

Yet, it was impossible to look away; how could this woman be so beautiful?

The policewoman was a little annoyed: "Miss, please understand our work. Countless people report cases to this police station every day, especially these adults who might go home on their own in a couple of days. Besides, the location you reported is not under our jurisdiction. Please leave."

Li Zhi was somewhat disappointed and was about to leave...

"Miss Li, what brings you here?" Jiang Yu was surprised to meet Miss Li again, especially at the police station. It seemed they were truly destined to meet.

The policewoman turned around and saw her Captain Jiang arrive. Her eyes immediately lit up with infatuation. Actually, she had a crush on the new Captain Jiang. He was not only handsome and capable, but she also heard that his family was secretly rich.

Li Zhi looked at the man in front of him, whose features were perfectly proportioned, especially his eyes—deep, serene, and peaceful. He seemed like a good person, giving off a sense of security. "Hello, Officer Jiang, I'm looking for my master."

Jiang Yu looked at the information entered into the computer and said seriously, "Miss Li, you know nothing. Finding your master in this city is like looking for a needle in a haystack. The chances are very slim."

Li Zhiyi was a little sad because she really didn't know where her master had gone or who he had gone to see after going down the mountain.

"Miss Li, do you know how to draw portraits?"

Li Zhiyi shook his head.

Finally, based on Li Zhiyi's description, Jiang Yu used a computer to create a portrait of the old man. Li Zhiyi thought it looked somewhat like his master and nodded in satisfaction.

"Okay, I'll take you wherever you're going."

The young policewoman looked up at Captain Jiang and thought to herself that Captain Jiang was always aloof and kept his personal life separate from his official duties. Why would he take someone home while he was on duty? Could it be that he liked this woman?

"Yuejing Villa, is it on your way?"

"Yeah, it's on the way, let's go."

Li Zhi thought that since he would have to pay for a taxi, it wouldn't hurt to hitch a ride along the way. When he passed Chenyue Building, Li Zhi realized that he didn't have a cell phone, which was indeed a bit inconvenient. What if the police found out where his master was and he missed it?

"Officer Jiang, I'd like to buy a cell phone. Is 500 yuan enough?"

Without thinking, Jiang Yu replied, "That's enough."

In front of the mobile phone counter, the sales clerk noticed that the two women both had outstanding demeanors and clearly weren't short of money, so he enthusiastically introduced the latest product: "Miss, take a look at this latest model, do you like it?"

Li Zhi looked at the light purple phone; it was indeed very pretty. However, she didn't quite know how to use it and didn't dare to reach out to take it. She turned to Jiang Yu and asked, "Officer Jiang, what do you think of this phone?"

"Hmm, do you like it?"

"Okay, then I'll take this one." Li Zhi took out his money and handed it to the shop assistant. The shop assistant smiled and said, "Miss, this phone isn't enough for you with 500 yuan."

"Oh, is it that expensive? Then I won't buy it." Li Zhiyi turned around and left, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Miss Li, I'll give it to you."

"No need, no need. I can't accept something for nothing. I'll save up and buy it myself. Thank you, Officer Jiang."

Seeing that she was about to leave the mobile phone store, Jiang Yu said helplessly, "Miss Li, I remembered that the mobile phones at the store over there are cheaper. Let's go and take a look over there."

Li Zhi felt embarrassed to refuse Officer Jiang's offer, thinking that if it was still so expensive, she wouldn't buy it.

This time, Li Zhiyi successfully bought a mobile phone he liked for 500 yuan. It was a light sky blue color, and the more Li Zhiyi looked at it, the more he liked it. He held the phone like he was holding a treasure.

Li Zhiyi turned and walked out the door, only to find that Officer Li was still lingering behind him.

In the car, Li Zhi accidentally pressed the wrong button. "Officer Jiang, how do I turn it back?"

Li Zhiyi was engrossed in reading the articles pushed to his phone, and accidentally tapped the camera, snapping a photo.

"Officer Jiang, what should I do if I accidentally took a picture of you? I don't know how to delete it!"

"fine."

As they walked, every single question Li Zhi asked was about the new phone. Li Zhi was secretly amazed; no wonder everyone had a phone, it was so much fun!

Upon arriving at the villa, Jiang Yu got out of the car to open the door for her, and asked with a smile, "Miss Li, have you learned how to send text messages yet?"

"I've learned it. I can learn things very quickly."

"Then send me one to try."

"Okay." After editing for a long time, Li Zhi finally typed out the words he wanted to type: Hello, Officer Jiang.

Jiang Yu smiled as he read the text message. "Ms. Li, please don't call me Officer Jiang in public anymore, it's inconvenient. Just call me Jiang Yu, and I'll call you Zhiyi, okay?"

"Okay, I'm going back now. Goodbye."

Li Zhiyi was still immersed in the joy of having a new mobile phone, having finally learned how to make calls and send messages.

Little did she know that her every move and her radiant smile were being observed by someone on the fourth floor.

As Li Zhiyi reached the corner of the stairs, he bumped into Gu Siye. "What are you doing? You scared me to death!"

Gu Siye's expression was very unpleasant. He ignored her and went back to his room. He had been worried that she might be in danger, but it turned out she had gone on a date.

She even bought a new phone. Where did she get the money? It must have been a gift from that man. Humph! What a hypocritical woman.

Gu Siye grew angrier the more he thought about it, slammed the door, and left home.
