Chapter 122: Jinta's Request

Fujiwara Rina immediately pricked up her ears.

"That bastard, relying on having the director of the Seikawa Palace as his backer, actually went and formed an independent action team outside the Special Agency!" Fujiwara Jinta gritted his teeth.

"Huh?"

Hearing that, Fujiwara Rina's heart stirred, and she silently memorized those words.

The earlier information about the warship made Chen Yongren so happy; if I could tell him this, it would surely help him even more.

By then there will be more time to spend with Chen Sang.

She could feel that this was a very useful piece of information, but worried that Fujiwara Jinta might become suspicious, so she didn't ask further.

Fujiwara Rina gently rubbed and kneaded his chest, comforting him: "Jinta-kun, you're the best."

"Calm down, because getting angry at this kind of jerk isn't worth harming your health; if you make yourself sick from anger, he'll probably be even happier."

The conflict between Uemiya Kazuto and Fujiwara Jinta was naturally clear to Fujiwara Rina.

"Hmm." Fujiwara Jinta nodded, took Rina's hand, and couldn't help feeling somewhat moved.

After all, it's his wife who knows how to be tender.

What a pity.

If Fujiwara Jinta knew what Fujiwara Rina was thinking, he'd probably be so angry he'd vomit three liters of blood.

"Jinta, can we do it one more time?" Although she knew Fujiwara Jinta lacked stamina, Fujiwara Rina still went through the motions normally.

It must be because of this afternoon's incident that made Rina think she'd recovered; Fujiwara Jinta hurriedly said, "Tonight we should rest early; tomorrow I still have a lot to do."

When it's time to back down, we still have to back down.

After all, one's own life is important.

"All right." Fujiwara Rina pretended to be nonchalant, gave a casual reply, and turned over to sleep.

Fortunately, today she had a filling meal; otherwise she'd have to endure those hard days again.

Fujiwara Rina's behavior was the same as before; Fujiwara Jinta suspected nothing and let out a long breath.

In his heart he muttered, "I'll find a chance to really deal with Uemiya Kazuto and give him a painful lesson!"

The next day, when Chen Yongren woke up, Hua Lei had already prepared breakfast.

Youtiao, soy milk, and buns were neatly arranged on the table.

"Ren Ge, you're up; breakfast is ready, come eat." Hua Lei immediately pulled out a chair.

Chen Yongren responded: "You sit down too and eat together."

"Mm!" Hua Lei nodded and sat down opposite Chen Yongren.

"After I finish eating, I have to go to work." Chen Yongren said while eating youtiao, "If you're bored at home alone, you can go to the study and look at a few picture books."

"Oh..." Hua Lei replied obediently.

Having eaten and drunk his fill, Chen Yongren then headed to the police station.

Hua Lei was then tidying the table, thinking about what dish to make for dinner to change Chen Yongren's palate.

Suddenly she heard a hurried knocking at the door.

"Bang bang bang~"

"Huh?"

"Could it be that Ren Ge forgot to take something?"

"Coming." Hua Lei responded, opened the gate, and saw a strange man standing outside, also wearing a police uniform.

"Could he be a colleague of Ren Ge?"

Hua Lei's guard lowered slightly.

"Are you Hua Lei?" Liu Jianming smiled.

"Who are you?" Hua Lei nodded, her face showing some doubt.

"Hello, I'm Liu Jianming, the chief of the Songhu Police Station, and also a colleague of Chen Yongren. I've come to see you today mainly about yesterday's case." Liu Jianming spoke gently.

Hearing that, Hua Lei's heart tightened; could this chief be coming to arrest her?

Liu Jianming reassured her: "Don't worry, I'm not here to arrest you; the situation was already investigated yesterday."

Saying that, Liu Jianming smiled and said: "After all, we only have their statements so far; we lack yours. Only when both sides' testimonies are complete can we close the case."

"Oh..." Hua Lei then nodded, stepped aside to make a gap, and said: "Please come in."

"Just a few simple questions; it won't take much time, we can do it at the doorway." Liu Jianming's voice was calm.

"All right, go ahead." Hua Lei's guard lowered a bit more.

Liu Jianming opened the folder, first asking about yesterday's details; the answers he got were no different from those of the three men.

Liu Jianming then asked: "Did you previously know Chen Yongren?"

"No." Hua Lei shook her head: "Yesterday was the first time I met him; if it weren't for the police coming to arrest people, I wouldn't have known he was a deputy chief of the police station."

"You didn't know him?" Liu Jianming feigned curiosity: "I thought you were friends..."

"Sorry."

"In my memory, A Ren isn't the type who likes to meddle in others' affairs."

"Maybe he just felt sorry for me." Hua Lei understood Liu Jianming's implication and replied helplessly: "Chief Liu, if I had known Ren Ge before, how would I have been bullied by those scoundrels?"

"Okay, I understand." Hearing that, Liu Jianming smiled and nodded, then continued asking a few more questions, including her social connections and recent situation, etc.

In fact, Liu Jianming had already investigated all of this; he was merely double-checking, going over the same questions again and again. Hua Lei answered fluently, making no mistakes.

When it was mentioned that Hua Lei's father had died in a gunfight at the Huamao Hotel, and that a young man had once given her a favor,

Liu Jianming immediately became interested and asked for more details.

The result.

That person's appearance and tone of voice were completely different from Chen Yongren's.

I guess he's just a young master overflowing with affection.

"Did A Ren say what you'll be doing in the future?" Liu Jianming asked again.

"He said the household lacks a maid; I'll be responsible for the household's daily affairs, and he'll take care of my food, clothing, housing, and travel." Hua Lei said honestly.

Liu Jianming nodded slightly.

Based on the current questioning, Hua Lei has no issues.

"Inspector Liu, do you have any more questions?" Hua Lei said: "I still have a lot to do today."

"No problem." Liu Jianming smiled and nodded: "Thank you very much for your cooperation!"

Hua Lei didn't say more, nodded, and closed the door.

Liu Jianming, however, didn't leave; instead, he went to a hidden spot to continue observing.

Not long after.

Then he saw Hua Lei carrying a vegetable basket out of the courtyard, seemingly preparing to buy vegetables.

Liu Jianming carefully followed behind her to observe.

But Hua Lei just bought vegetables as usual, and didn't come into contact with any suspicious individuals.

Could it be that I'm overthinking?

Did Chen Yongren rescue Hua Lei just on a whim?

Unable to find any leads, Liu Jianming also didn't want to waste time on Hua Lei.

Since Chen Yongren is willing to be a good person, let him do so.

Earlier his records showed that Chen Yongren had no attachments.

If we could really make that girl become his concern, that would also be a good choice.

At the very least, in the future there will be one more means to threaten him.

……

At this moment, Chen Yongren has already arrived at the police station.

The three thugs who bullied Hua Lei, having offended Chen Yongren, didn't suffer a little yesterday.

When Chen Yongren saw them, he could no longer recognize their original appearances; obviously Zhang Haifeng had given them extra special treatment.

After looking around, he still didn't see Liu Jianming's trace; Chen Yongren wondered where that bastard had gone.

A phone call from Fujiwara Chikata summoned him to the Songhu Special Agency.

Special Agency?

Chen Yongren's heart stirred.

Could it be because I widened and lengthened the forest path, that the old devil Fujiwara noticed something amiss and wants to confront me in person?
