Chapter 174 You...are playing tricks on me!
Lu Chen said: "I'll go in with you."
Xu Nuo did not refuse again, but just smiled slightly, which was considered as tacit consent.
When Lu Chen went to take a statement and entered the interrogation room, he happened to see the man with missing front teeth being escorted out of the interrogation room by two policemen.
There was a trace of unwillingness on the man's face, with blood still on the corner of his mouth. The empty space where his front teeth should be was, making him look particularly funny.
As soon as he saw Xu Nuo, his expression changed immediately and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.
He pointed at his front teeth and said in a hoarse and angry voice: "You lied to me! You said my teeth could be put back, but when I went to the hospital, the doctor looked at me like I was a fool and said it was impossible! I confirmed it again and again, and he almost thought I had a brain problem!"
After hearing this, Xu Nuo couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Her smile was bright and sly, and her tone was relaxed: "Since the doctor said so, it is impossible."
The man's face was livid with anger, and he clenched his fists tightly, as if he wanted to rush forward, but he was firmly held down by the police officer next to him. He gritted his teeth and said, "You...you are kidding me! Didn't you say you are a doctor? Didn't you say it's okay?"
Xu Nuo pursed his lips and smiled even more: "Oh, I said that at the time just to steady you."
After hearing this, the man was so angry that he was shaking all over, but he could do nothing and could only be escorted out by the police.
He turned around and glared at Xu Nuo, muttering something, but his voice was too low for anyone to hear.
Lu Chen stood beside Xu Nuo, looking at her cunning appearance, and couldn't help but chuckle, with a hint of pampering in his tone: "You are really...smart enough."
Xu Nuo smiled at him and went into the inquiry room alone.
Actually, she wasn't completely kidding him.
Losing a tooth doesn't mean it can't be replaced.
In 21st century medicine, lost teeth can grow back in some cases, but... not 100%.
After Xu Nuo went in to take a statement, Lu Chen stood alone in the corridor of the police station, his hands in his pockets, looking out the window calmly.
The dim light from above shone on the side of his face, outlining his resolute outline.
His expression seemed calm, but in fact there were waves in his heart.
From time to time he glanced in the direction of the recording room, and he tasted the feeling he had almost lost just now.
It turns out that love is not only sweet, but also thrilling.
But he never wanted to experience this feeling again.
Only then did Lu Chen truly feel that in just a few months, Xu Nuo had already taken root in his heart without him noticing...
The record-taking process was not fast. There were some details in the middle, and the police and Xu Nuo confirmed them repeatedly.
Finally, the door of the inquiry room was pushed open and Xu Nuo walked out.
She noticed that besides Lu Chen, there was another strange man standing in the corridor.
The man was wearing a police uniform, had a tall stature and a rough face, and was talking in a low voice with Lu Chen.
Xu Nuo couldn't hear clearly what they were saying. He only saw that the policeman had a serious expression and nodded from time to time. Even after Lu Chen finished speaking, he suddenly stood at attention and saluted him solemnly.
Lu Chen also returned a standard military salute, his movements were quick and decisive, and carried a sense of military dignity.
The conversation between the two seemed to end, and Lu Chen turned his head and looked in her direction.
Xu Nuo then shouted, "Lu Chen!"
Lu Chen showed a faint smile on his face, waved at her, and said in a gentle tone: "Come here."
Xu Nuo walked over, stood beside Lu Chen, and looked at the strange policeman with a slightly puzzled look.
The other party also looked at her with a hint of curiosity and respect in his eyes.
The man smiled and asked, "Chief, who is this?"
Lu Chen glanced at Xu Nuo, his tone calm but with a hint of pride: "This is my wife, Xu Nuo."
When the man heard this, he suddenly showed a look of surprise on his face, then he smiled and shouted enthusiastically: "Little sister-in-law!"
Xu Nuo was caught off guard by the name and his face turned slightly red, but he quickly regained his composure.
She nodded politely in response.
Everyone likes to call her sister-in-law, and she knows that's because she is younger.
However, in her opinion, "small" has two meanings.
There are big ones and small ones. Others call her "little sister-in-law", which always gives her the feeling that she is Lu Chen's "mistress", as if Lu Chen has a legal wife and she is the mistress who cannot be seen in public.
Another level of small is young in the ordinary sense.
However, she would not care about these things.
Lu Chen immediately introduced him to Xu Nuo: "This is Lian Zheng, the new chief of the police station. He was a soldier I led before, from the reconnaissance company, and he is very capable."
When Lian Zheng heard Lu Chen's introduction, a shy smile appeared on his face, and his tone was full of emotion: "Thank you for the compliment, Commander."
He was seriously injured in a military exercise, and after recovering, he suffered from some illnesses and was no longer suitable to continue in the reconnaissance company, so he transferred to the local area.
I just took office yesterday, but I didn’t expect to meet Lu Chen today.
Lu Chen nodded, with a hint of concern in his tone: "How is your recovery?"
Lian Zheng smiled and patted his chest: "No problem, don't worry, Commander! Although I can't charge into battle like before, I can still serve the people at the local level."
Lu Chen nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Xu Nuo: "If you have any problems in the future, just come to Lian Zheng, he will help you."
Lian Zheng immediately took over the conversation and saluted Xu Nuo solemnly, saying warmly and sincerely, "Sister-in-law, if you have any problems in the future, just come to me. I will do my best!"
Xu Nuo was a little embarrassed by his enthusiasm, but she still smiled politely and said softly, "Thank you, Director Lian."
Lian Zheng waved his hand and said cheerfully: "My dear sister-in-law, you are too polite. Just call me Lian Zheng!"
Lu Chen seemed to feel uncomfortable and said, "Just call me sister-in-law from now on. There's no need to call me elder or younger. You can also call me chief from now on. I'm two years older than you, so just call me brother."
"Okay, I'll listen to Brother Lu and Sister-in-law." Lian Zheng said with a smile.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Lu Chen looked at the time and said to Lian Zheng, "It's getting late, let's go back first. You just took office, and there are a lot of things to do at work, so take care of yourself."
Lian Zheng nodded and said respectfully, "I know, Brother Lu."
Lu Chen said "hmm", then left the police station with Xu Nuo.
The two got into the car. The interior was quiet and warm, forming a sharp contrast with the night outside.
The car slowly drove out of the police station. The lights from the street shone through the car window onto the faces of the two men, reflecting their calm expressions.
Xu Nuo leaned back in his seat and breathed a sigh of relief, his tone carrying a hint of fatigue: "It's been a tiring day today."
Lu Chen glanced at her and said gently, "If you are tired, take a rest. I will call you when we get home."
Xu Nuo nodded, closed his eyes, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
Lu Chen's gaze lingered on her face for a moment, and a soft light flashed in his eyes.
He didn't say anything else, but just took off his coat and covered Xu Nuo with it so that she could rest more comfortably.
While Xu Nuo was taking his statement in the police station, two policemen sent Shi Ning back to the school dormitory.
When the dormitory door was pushed open, my roommate Wang Jian was sitting at the table reading a book.
Hearing the noise, he looked up and saw Shi Ning being supported in by the police. He looked pale and dazed. He was immediately startled.
