"Still not awake?"
Jiang Ruoxue frowned and looked at the officer coming out of the interrogation room.
"Captain, this kid probably won't wake up anytime soon. He must have gotten so worked up that his anger overwhelmed him."
Anger overwhelmed him?
I'll help cool you down, then!
"Go get a bucket of water."
"Captain, this... wouldn't be appropriate, would it?"
Jiang Ruoxue raised an eyebrow. "Hmm? If he doesn't wake up, are we supposed to sit here and wait with him?"
The officer was left speechless.
Whatever. If the sky falls, the captain will hold it up. Why am I worrying about this?
"Yes, Captain."
"Remember, add ice. The colder, the better."
In the interrogation room,
Ye Bufan was cuffed to the interrogation chair, looking utterly haggard.
With a splash,
a bucket of ice water poured straight over his head, drenching him from head to toe.
"Ah-choo!"
The bone-chilling cold instantly woke Ye Bufan up. He looked blankly around at the familiar yet unfamiliar surroundings.
"Captain, he's awake."
Jiang Ruoxue nodded, her icy gaze seeming to lower the temperature around them.
Ye Bufan noticed Jiang Ruoxue as well and finally recalled what had happened.
Damn it, I got dragged into the Police Station again!
It had only been half a month. Ye Bufan nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.
Then Jiang Ruoxue's voice rang out.
"Name."
"Officer Jiang, we only met last time. You forgot already?"
A smile curled at Ye Bufan's lips. "You were the one who brought me in again this time. We really are fated, aren't we?"
Gasp!
The male police officer beside them sucked in a sharp breath.
It was his first time seeing such a gutsy criminal. Flirting with a tigress—was he tired of living?!
Jiang Ruoxue was one of the finest flowers in the Jiang Cheng Police Station.
Countless men had set their sights on her, yet not a single one had managed to win over this thorny rose.
One reason was her family background, while the other was her temperament.
She acted decisively, had a fiery temper, and never spared anyone's pride.
Sure enough, after hearing Ye Bufan's words, the chill in Jiang Ruoxue's eyes nearly overflowed.
The officer beside her shuddered and hurriedly barked,
"Answer whatever you're asked! Why are you talking so much nonsense?!"
Ye Bufan's expression darkened, but in order to maintain an image of being humorous, refined, and gentlemanly before Jiang Ruoxue,
he flamboyantly tossed his hair and said politely in a magnetic voice,
"My humble name is Ye Bufan."
Hypocrite. Disgusting. Filthy bug!
Jiang Ruoxue forcefully suppressed the urge to beat Ye Bufan to death. "Age."
"Twenty-one. May I ask—"
"Shut up!"
Ye Bufan shrugged awkwardly.
It was fine. He had already left an indelible impression in her heart.
That was enough!
"Someone reported that you participated in illegal boxing matches and solicited prostitutes..."
"I've been wronged, Officer Jiang! This is slander, a false accusation. They must be jealous of my heaven-sent talents."
Ye Bufan spoke without blushing or missing a beat, his face filled with sincerity.
The male police officer beside him twitched at the corner of his mouth and failed to hold back a laugh.
"What are you laughing at?!"
"I wasn't laughing. Sir, we're professionally trained. Please do not question our professional standards."
A trace of mockery flashed across Jiang Ruoxue's face. She knew he would say that.
With a flick of her hand, she laid several photographs in front of Ye Bufan.
"What else do you have to say?"
Ye Bufan glared at the photos with an ugly expression. He had actually been secretly photographed without realizing it?
Damn it, those dead paparazzi!
After dealing with Ye Bufan, Jiang Ruoxue rushed straight to the Jiang Family without stopping.
Meanwhile, inside a private room at a restaurant,
Lu Ming was pouring wine for Jiang Cheng with a fawning smile. His obsequious manner made Jiang Cheng frown in discomfort.
"If you've got something to say, say it. If you've got something to fart, fart it!"
The moment he heard that, Lu Ming became excited.
He pulled over a chair and sat beside Jiang Cheng. "Brother Cheng, how did you make Campus Belle Li and Goddess Bai fight over you and throw down?"
Brat, why did you have to bring that up?
You're asking me? How would I know what was wrong with those two women?
Especially Bai Weiwei. She kept stirring up trouble. What a headache.
Jiang Cheng sighed. The plot was completely messed up now, and not a single heroine was acting normally.
He had to leave this place as soon as possible. At this rate, he was afraid the protagonist might get angered to death one day.
He gave Lu Ming a complicated look.
"Maybe it's because I'm more handsome."
Uh...
Although what Brother Cheng said is true, why am I still so annoyed?
Lu Ming silently grumbled, then stood and straightened his clothes before looking expectantly at Jiang Cheng.
"Brother Cheng, what do you think of me?"
"You look pretty funny."
Lu Ming's face crumpled as he cast a resentful little look at Jiang Cheng.
There was no love left. In the end, our feelings had faded!
After eating, the two left the private room.
Lu Ming suddenly shouted, "Brother Cheng, Mu Qingcheng."
Following the direction of Lu Ming's finger, Jiang Cheng saw Mu Qingcheng enter a private room with two bald, potbellied middle-aged men.
"What's going on?"
Jiang Cheng was puzzled. Why would Mu Qingcheng be out with two men so late at night?
Then Lu Ming slapped his forehead.
"I remember now. Qingcheng Group's cash flow seems to have run into some problems recently. Come to think of it, it has something to do with you, Brother Cheng."
Jiang Cheng raised an eyebrow.
"It has something to do with me?"
Lu Ming nodded and reminded him, "Shen Family Manor."
Jiang Cheng immediately understood. The Mu Family was merely a second-rate family in Jiang Cheng, and many people had invested in Qingcheng Group because of him.
So, it was his attitude toward Mu Qingcheng at the Shen Family that had indirectly caused all this.
"Brother Cheng, should we go take a look?"
"Take a look at what?"
Jiang Cheng shot Lu Ming an irritated glance.
Who could possibly take advantage of the heroine?
Mu Qingcheng was the CEO of Qingcheng Group. She was no naive fool—how could she fall for such an obvious trap?
Besides, why should a villain like me interfere in some hero-saves-the-beauty scenario?
"Huh? Where did he go?"
Jiang Cheng looked around, only to see Lu Ming sneaking over to the private room door and pressing his ear tightly against the crack.
Inside the private room,
Mu Qingcheng noticed the lecherous looks in the two middle-aged men's eyes and frowned.
"Manager Hu, Manager Li, tell me what you want."
Her cool voice echoed through the room as the two middle-aged men exchanged smiles.
Their eyes continuously roamed over Mu Qingcheng's stunning face and curvaceous figure.
"CEO Mu, let's eat first and talk slowly."
"That's right, CEO Mu. Let us offer you a toast."
How could Mu Qingcheng fail to understand their intentions? She said coldly,
"Since neither of you intends to cooperate, I'll be taking my leave."
Seeing that Mu Qingcheng was giving them no face at all, both men's expressions immediately turned cold.
"CEO Mu, you should know Qingcheng Group's situation. To tell you the truth, Young Master Jiang was the one who instructed us to do this."
"However, if CEO Mu is willing to spend one night with the two of us, this matter may still have room to turn around!"
As soon as the words fell,
the entire private room suddenly turned cold, radiating a piercing chill.
At the same time, the door was kicked open...
