The case is closed?
She was a little surprised at the speed and curious about the outcome.
“How was it handled?” she asked.
“Indecent assault and attempted kidnapping, pending transfer to the procuratorate,” he replied, then picked up his phone to send a message.
It was no different from what she had guessed yesterday.
“What about you?” she suddenly felt a little nervous.
“Me?” The man raised his eyebrows and looked at her.
“Didn’t they want to check for injuries?”
Chen Ziming said calmly, “We’ve slept for so long, you should have some trust in me.”
Su Yue: …
She vaguely felt he was alluding to what she had said to him last night when she was scared and asked for his help.
Seeing her confusion and slight irritation, he smiled, stopped teasing her, and answered directly:
“It was self-defense. If you didn’t know me, I could even get a commendation for bravery.”
Su Yue was speechless again.
But perhaps she was overthinking. He was a police officer himself and familiar with the law. Although those people were shouting about checking for injuries, they could still walk and talk.
Besides, he would definitely handle this kind of matter properly.
“So, where are we going to stay tonight?” she suddenly remembered what he had said earlier and asked with a hint of anticipation.
“You’ll know when we get there. Bring some pretty clothes, I’ll take pictures for you.”
Judging by his words, it sounded like a nice place.
So, putting aside everything else, Su Yue happily finished breakfast and hurried to pack her luggage.
After leaving, she first went to the Yuluo Street Police Station.
She waited in the car while he went in to handle the follow-up matters.
As she was happily playing on her phone, someone suddenly knocked a few times on the car window.
Startled, she looked over and saw the same two girls she had met before.
What did they want from her?
With a bad premonition, she got out of the car.
“What is it?” she leaned against the car door, crossing her arms, trying to appear more assertive, as she was facing two girls.
“What’s your relationship with Officer Chen?” one of the girls asked directly.
Su Yue noticed the girl beside her was looking down, her eyes seemingly red. If she guessed correctly, the one who liked Chen Ziming was her.
And the girl who was aggressively questioning her was accompanying her.
“Why should I tell you?” the girl’s attitude was truly annoying, so Su Yue replied unpleasantly.
To her surprise, the girl ignored her and turned to the dejected girl beside her, saying:
“Jingjing, I told you she was just sleeping with Officer Chen. You wouldn’t believe me. Are you satisfied now?”
Su Yue: ???
What kind of logic was this?
She wanted to retort but found it amusing, so she decided to remain silent and see what else they could say.
The dejected girl looked up, revealing a very delicate face. Her clear eyes were filled with tears.
Her initial intention to be tough faltered, and she felt a pang of pity.
This was probably what Li Niannian had mentioned – someone who liked Chen Ziming so much they couldn’t move on…
As a fellow woman, she had also been restless because of him, so she could empathize with her.
“Are you really not his girlfriend?” she asked softly, her voice hoarse and tearful, clearly having been upset for a long time.
This question…
How should she answer? Saying yes would be disingenuous, and looking at the fragile girl opposite her, she feared she couldn’t handle such a blow.
But saying no would make herself seem cheap, playing right into the questioner’s hands.
“Is that so? Are you? Can you tell me, hmm?”
Seeing Su Yue’s hesitation, the girl became a bit anxious, seeming to want an answer quickly, and urged her with questions.
Ultimately, she softened.
“No.” With a sigh, she replied.
The girl opposite her breathed a sigh of relief, and her dejected face instantly reignited with hope.
“Then can you tell me how you managed to sleep with him? Does he change partners frequently…”
“Jingjing!” The girl accompanying her reprimanded her sternly, interrupting her absurd question.
Su Yue was truly shocked. Chen Ziming was indeed charming, very charming, but no amount of charm should make someone trample on their own dignity.
Just as she was feeling surprised, a familiar figure walked over, stood in front of her, and blocked her from behind.
The man’s deep, displeased voice rang out:
“Why are you here again.”
