Chapter 441: Violent Police Belle!

Lin Yuan didn't know how to explain……

His Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily, and sweat beaded on his palms.

Baihejie stepped forward first.

Baihejie raised his voice deliberately, as if wanting everyone to hear: "Yeah! He's the priest at the Goddess Bar! You didn't know?!"

"He's the one who belongs in the underworld?! He's just a small-time gang boss!"

Mu Lingxue frowned, her eyes full of impatience, and she snorted: "Had enough? Then get lost."

"Even if Lin Yuan were in the underworld, I'd still prefer him—what gives you the right to stir trouble here?"

She completely dismissed Baihejie's words, thinking he was just making up rumors to smear Lin Yuan because he couldn't win her over.

Obviously, regarding whether Lin Yuan is in the underworld—

Mu Lingxue simply didn't believe it.

Lin Yuan stood aside, listening to Baihejie's words, cold sweat breaking out on his back.

Only after hearing Mu Lingxue's words did he quietly let out a breath……

Fortunately, Mu Lingxue didn't suspect anything, just taking Baihejie's talk as nonsense.

Lin Yuan seized the moment, stepped forward, and slapped Baihejie across the face@!

A crisp "slap" echoed down the street.

Lin Yuan snapped coldly: "If you dare to pester Officer Mu again, or spout nonsense, I won't be this polite next time!"

Baihejie's head jerked to the side from the slap, his cheek instantly flushing red.

Baihejie's anger surged up "whoosh," and he clenched his fists, ready to charge.

But he caught a glimpse of Lin Yuan's cold, stern gaze out of the corner of his eye…

Baihejie again recalled… the taste of being brutally beaten by Lin Yuan before.

In the end, his fists slowly unclenched.

Baihejie could only grit his teeth, watching helplessly as Lin Yuan shielded Mu Lingxue and turned toward the Benz.

……

The Benz pulled up in front of a quiet private restaurant.

Lin Yuan and Mu Lingxue walked in side by side, chose a window seat, and sat down.

After the waiter handed over the menu, Mu Lingxue spoke first, steering the conversation to Case 907.

The two ate and talked, the discussion continually circling back to the case details……

Occasionally they slipped in some light everyday chatter, and the atmosphere remained fairly harmonious.

Halfway through the meal, Mu Lingxue set down her chopsticks and looked at Lin Yuan seriously:

"Lin Yuan, I still want to invite you to join the police force as our part-time consultant. Your observation and adaptability are strong—it's a real waste not to put them to use in investigations."

Lin Yuan's hand holding the chopsticks paused.,

He gave his usual refusal: "Sorry, Officer Mu, I'm used to my current life and don't want to change environments. Besides, I don't have time for a side job."

A flicker of disappointment crossed Mu Lingxue's eyes, but she didn't press further.

She simply gave a soft "hmm" and kept eating.

After finishing the meal, Mu Lingxue suggested going to see a movie.

She smiled, shaking her phone: "I bought the tickets for the new blockbuster—perfect for unwinding."

Lin Yuan thought it over and didn't object.

……

The two, having finished their meal, headed to the cinema.

Lin Yuan followed her into the cinema.

As it turned out, only after Lin Yuan entered the theater did he discover that Mu Lingxue had bought tickets for a horror film.

After the movie started, frightening sound effects and shocking images appeared one after another……

The couple in the front row were so scared the girl clung tightly to the guy's chest, while he feigned calm to comfort her.

But Lin Yuan and Mu Lingxue remained unusually composed……

Mu Lingxue had seen so many crime scenes that this bit of horror was nothing to her;

Lin Yuan, having studied human anatomy in his Chinese medicine training, was unfazed by the film's special effects.

Yet Mu Lingxue, sitting beside him, felt a slight nervousness inside.

She thought… she had finally managed to get horror‑movie tickets, and she ought to seize the opportunity.

Her beautiful eyes quietly swept over the couples snuggled up around them.

She looked at them… the mood, the moves—so on point.

Just then, Mu Lingxue subtly leaned closer to Lin Yuan……

She naturally nestled into his arms, her arm lightly encircling his waist.

Lin Yuan's body tensed.

He lowered his head to look at Mu Lingxue in his arms and said helplessly: "Officer Mu, I can see your heartbeat isn't racing at all—you don't look scared."

Mu Lingxue was called out, and she dropped the act.

She lifted her head to look at Lin Yuan, eyes tinged with mischief: "Everyone's snuggling, so I'll snuggle too—otherwise, how would we look like a couple?"

Lin Yuan rubbed his forehead, laughing and crying at once: "We're not actually a couple to begin with."

Mu Lingxue's gaze shifted instantly, her tone turning serious: "Who said that?"

"The last time you helped me treat my wound, you touched and saw everything—you owe me responsibility."

Lin Yuan had no recourse left, only able to sigh: "Officer Mu, we really aren't suited for each other."

Mu Lingxue pursued asking: "How is it not suitable?"

Lin Yuan remained silent for a few seconds.

He seemed to have made up his mind, lowered his voice: "To be honest with you, I don't like you."

Mu Lingxue hearing this, the smile on her face froze instantly??

Mu Lingxue's eyes full of astonishment, she was completely stunned??

Mu Lingxue was stunned for a few seconds, then suddenly realized.

Her voice carried a hint of trembling, also revealing incredulous grievance: "You don't like me?"

"Why did you come on a blind date with me??"

"And you still kept in contact with me for so long??"

Her eyes slightly reddened, she tightly stared at Lin Yuan, waiting for an explanation.

Lin Yuan looking at her appearance, his heart also felt somewhat unpleasant.

Lin Yuan still spoke truthfully: "I went on a blind date because I was forced by my boss."

"My boss worried her daughter would fall for me, so to dispel her daughter's thoughts, he forced me to go on a blind date."

Lin Yuan's voice was very soft, yet each word clearly landed in Mu Lingxue's ears.

Hearing this, Mu Lingxue became even more stunned??

The grievance in her eyes mixed with a bit more bewilderment: "So, you went on a blind date with me just to go through the motions?"

"You never liked me at all?"

Lin Yuan pressed his lips, nodded with difficulty.

Lin Yuan's voice low: "Yes."

Mu Lingxue grabbed Lin Yuan and released him, her body stepping back slightly……

She and Lin Yuan distanced themselves, the light in her eyes instantly dimmed.

After a few seconds of silence, Mu Lingxue suddenly raised her jade hand……

She fiercely pinched Lin Yuan's waist, fingertips firmly squeezing the soft flesh on his waist!

"Ah!"

Lin Yuan cried out in pain, his body instinctively shrank sideways, trying to dodge her hand.

The surrounding couples heard the commotion, all turning their heads to look??

The couples, however, misinterpreted their interaction, thinking they were playing a more stimulating game?

The surrounding couples even felt that this pair of Lin Yuan was truly stimulating enough?!

Thus, the other couples also imitated them, starting to play more and more stimulatingly.

A couple sitting in the front row, the girl directly stood up, sat on the boy's lap, arms wrapped around his neck.

Another couple diagonally behind was even more direct; the girl leaned over and directly started kissing the boy, the action intimate and bold.

For a moment, the couples in the cinema seemed to be "led along"……

Couple after couple played more extravagantly, the atmosphere instantly became ambiguous and fervent.

All around, various strange, hurried breathing sounds echoed……

Mixed with faint whispers, especially clear.

Mu Lingxue and Lin Yuan sat in place, listening to the surrounding commotion, both their cheeks instantly flushed red, embarrassed to the point of being at a loss……

This scene really made people feel uncomfortable.

Mu Lingxue bit her lip, really couldn't stay, stood up intending to leave.

But just as she stood up, she was blocked by a couple next to them who were in the middle of "kissing"……

The two couples leaned against the aisle, completely unaware she wanted to pass.

Mu Lingxue also felt it inappropriate to interrupt others' intimacy; this was really too embarrassing.

Mu Lingxue could only grudgingly sit back down on the chair……

As soon as her buttocks touched the seat, she couldn't help but lean back against the chair, her chest still slightly rising and falling, obviously still angry.

Mu Lingxue, panting with anger, said to Lin Yuan: "You don't like me, yet you've entangled with me for so long? How is this debt to be settled?"

Lin Yuan blinked, instinctively scratched his head: "Ah? This... how do you want to settle it?"

Mu Lingxue shouted angrily: "You've already seen every part of my body! Last time I was injured, you helped treat my wound, you saw what should and shouldn't be seen, so you must take responsibility!"

Mu Lingxue said, her voice suddenly lowered……

Her cheeks also flushed a faint hue: "To be honest, you've entangled with me for so long, I... I have... developed a bit of liking for you."

Swish~ Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan's whole body froze.

Lin Yuan's eyes widened round, completely unable to react, now it was his turn to be stunned……

"Not, I'm just a scumbag." Lin Yuan blurted out instinctively, tone full of disbelief: "I'm a poor loser, previously still owed online loans, conditions so poor, how could you like me?"

Lin Yuan asked speechlessly: "You previously said we were just pretending to be a couple, deceiving your parents so they'd stop pressuring marriage, right??"

Mu Lingxue bit her lower lip.

Her eyes showed some determination: "I know, at first it was just pretending! But after getting along, I really have fallen for you!"

"However, it's only a little liking, not that much, don't get conceited."

Lin Yuan listening, his heart grew more confused, he hurriedly said: "Then while it's still just a little liking, you'd better forget me quickly……"

"We really aren't suitable, I can't give you what you want." Lin Yuan said, about to stand up and leave, just wanting to quickly escape this embarrassing and chaotic scene.

As a result, Mu Lingxue suddenly reached out and grabbed his wrist……

Mu Lingxue's voice carried a hint of urgency: "Don't go."

Lin Yuan stopped his action, turned back doubtfully: "Why?"

Mu Lingxue lowered her voice, glancing sideways, "That couple next door, they're French‑kissing…… If you go over now, you'll disturb them."

Lin Yuan followed her gaze and was also stunned, his pupils dilating……

Damn it!

That couple next door, the girl and the guy, have already hit a home run!

The cinema seats occasionally creaked……

This scene is simply too exciting!

Lin Yuan gasped in his heart, unable to believe his eyes.

The two were right in the aisle corner beside the seats……

They blocked the exit……

Even if Lin Yuan wanted to leave, he couldn't get out!

This is in a cinema! A public place!

Lin Yuan was dazed, couldn't help muttering lowly, "These young couples nowadays are too bold!"

Lin Yuan could only sit back down.

Mu Lingxue turned to look at him, pressing on, "Do you really have no feelings for me?"

Lin Yuan pressed his lips, still forced himself to nod, "No feelings."

Mu Lingxue's eyes widened, "Why? Am I not pretty enough, or is my figure not good enough?"

Lin Yuan hurriedly waved his hands, "No, it's not that."

Mu Lingxue leaned in, eyes probing, "Then what is it?"

Lin Yuan avoided her gaze, voice dropping, "Your family's too well‑off; I'm not worthy of you."

Mu Lingxue furrowed her brows, tone dissatisfied, "That's not an excuse! I want a proper reason."

Lin Yuan, cornered, had to admit honestly, "Your temper's too fiery; I can't handle you."

Hearing that, Mu Lingxue fell silent.

She just stared at Lin Yuan, her eye sockets slightly reddening.

After a few seconds, Mu Lingxue spoke softly.

Her voice lost its earlier fire, instead tinged with a soft grievance: "…… "

"So, can I become a bit gentler?"

As soon as she finished, she gently shifted her body……

She slipped her arm around Lin Yuan's arm, lightly and ambiguously wrapping her hand around his waist……

Mu Lingxue tilted her head slightly, leaning into Lin Yuan's embrace……

Her cheek lightly brushed against his chest.

"From now on, when we go out, I'll listen to you, okay?" She lifted her head to look at Lin Yuan, eyes full of sincerity, her tone turning incredibly sweet, as if coated in sugar.

"I'll be gentler with you, I won't lose my temper."

Lin Yuan only felt a softness in his arms, the faint scent of gardenia from Mu Lingxue instantly curling around his nostrils……

It was her usual body wash smell.

Her soft touch pressed against his chest……

Lin Yuan sensed her size.

This policewoman, at least an E cup to start……

Lin Yuan's heartbeat suddenly skipped a beat, then raced.

He stiffened, his breathing grew shallow, his Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily, and a fine sweat prickled his palms.

Lin Yuan hastily turned his head.

Lin Yuan's voice sounded obviously flustered, "Don't do that—you suddenly got so gentle, I'm not used to it."

"It makes me feel scared."

Mu Lingxue's gentle expression froze instantly; the next second she sprang up, her hurt turning to anger.

Without waiting for Lin Yuan to react, she straddled his legs and pressed down on him!

Mu Lingxue sat firmly on his thighs, hands gripping his shoulders, trapping him in the chair.

"You damn man, never‑ending, huh?!" Mu Lingxue glared at him, voice full of fire, "I'm gentle and you don't like it, I'm fiery and you don't like it either—what exactly do you like?!"

Lin Yuan was stunned by her sudden move, opened his mouth, and only managed a few muffled syllables: "... I like..."

Before Lin Yuan could finish his sentence, Mu Lingxue leaned in slightly, grabbed the back of his head, and crushed her lips onto his!

At that moment, Lin Yuan was dazed.

Because this kiss was unlike any before!

This time, Mu Lingxue really forced a kiss!

And it was the kind with tongue.

This woman, no honor!

Lin Yuan hadn't even reacted yet when he felt his lips pried open by her……

Then a sweet, soft tongue slowly slipped in……
