This is delicious Chinese food.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the greasy food and smelling the fragrant meat, Jenny couldn’t help but drool. She peeped cautiously at Selina as she had a bite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina didn’t cause any trouble, and everybody finished dinner in peace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina finished one third of the food, and Luke had approximately the same amount, but Jenny only had a little bit of it. Obviously, her stomach wasn’t as much of a threat as Selina had imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After supper, Selina did the dishes, and Luke made a cup of hot cocoa for Jenny. The two of them talked in the living room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke was utterly unmoved when he heard Jenny’s story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the typical family drama.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jenny’s birth mother died a few years ago, and her CEO father married another young and beautiful wife who bore him a son two years ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, Jenny lived in Los Angeles by herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her father had been pissed when Jenny got herself in trouble by buying weed. They had a huge fight over the phone, and Jenny drove off in her car. That was why she was here in her nightie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was absolutely no new information for Luke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it was purely happenstance that she was kidnapped, and she didn’t know much about WD-36.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it was slightly past nine, Luke offered to send Jenny home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was closing the door, Selina gave him the middle finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke bowed to indicate that he accepted the blessing before he left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After they left the house, Jenny suddenly said, “...I don’t want to go back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke was confused. “Huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jenny said, “I’m alone, without family.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke thought for a moment and proposed, “Should I send you to a hotel?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jenny was slightly shocked, not expecting Luke to be so straightforward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she had been prepared for it before her night visit, she wondered if they were going too fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, she didn’t say anything in the end, and silently agreed with Luke’s suggestion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A while later, Luke parked his car in front of a hotel Jenny didn’t know, called Bellier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Observing the interior after they entered, Jenny confirmed that it was a three-star hotel at best.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t exactly horrible, but it was nonetheless rather weird for someone like her who had never stayed in anything less than a four-star hotel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noticing the look on her face, Luke smiled and said, “I’m just a small-time detective. I can’t afford a four-star hotel.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jenny finally remembered that not everybody was as rich as she was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very least, this man had taken her to a three-star hotel, not a motel that might only cost dozens of dollars for one night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They checked in under Jenny’s name and went to the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jenny was slightly nervous. She had the feeling that the man behind her would suddenly pounce on her with a hideous grin...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, fine. She was only uneasy, and not really scared – she wasn’t a little girl who had yet to experience anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Luke entered, he turned on the stereo and adjusted the lights. Then, he took out a bottle of wine and said, “Would you like some?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jenny promptly accepted the offer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Talking to someone over a glass of wine was basically the most familiar thing for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them chatted and had drinks on the couch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke learned a lot more about Jenny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, she had been the little princess of her family until her mother suddenly passed away three years ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her father had been in business negotiations when her mother died, and didn’t return until the funeral one week later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had been living in Los Angeles since then. The villa was something her father had given to her out of guilt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Father and daughter could have made peace with each other eventually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, her father married a young and beautiful woman less than half a year later, and his new wife gave birth to a son two months after the wedding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jenny finally grew suspicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her father certainly wasn’t an idiot. He would never acknowledge a random newborn baby as his son without a paternity test.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She investigated and discovered that her father had gotten himself a young lover after he and Jenny’s mother fell out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just before Jenny’s mother died, her father had actually been with his young lover, who had just gotten pregnant then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, father and daughter had a huge fight, and barely saw each other anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke even speculated that Jenny had done all that partly to see if her father still cared about her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, her father was too busy looking after his new wife and son to bother with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jenny was a senior in college, but she had almost been kidnapped and recorded by drug dealers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Family really was important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke couldn’t help but feel lucky. Robert was practically a model dad compared with Jenny’s father. The man didn’t have any shortcomings except for the fact that he didn’t have a lot of money and usually wasn’t good at expressing himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, Luke and Jenny talked about various other things, from tidbits about their lives to work.Miss Jenny had never worked before, so she had a lot of fun listening to all the funny incidents that Luke encountered as a police officer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless Jenny, who was completely focused, Luke actually checked his watch every once in a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it was past eleven, Jenny still wasn’t drunk even though she had had a lot of wine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke was rather speechless. He had plans for the night. Had he known that she was such a greater drinker, he would’ve brought a bottle of Vodka.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Switching tactics, he could only move from funny stories to suggestive ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour later, Jenny was blushing in his arms as they kissed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was red not because she was shy, but purely because of the alcohol.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke’s hand moved where Jenny couldn’t see it. Swirling the wine in the glass, he then fed it to Jenny, who was already half-drunk.\u003C\u002Fp>",1049,"2026-06-06T03:35:48.055Z",1,"novelbin.me","d5361aa96acb818f72266b0e5849bb78fd6124d1a03ca2b2fa6803cec24ec498","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-234","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-232",2233,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsuper-detective-in-the-fictional-world-cover.jpg"]
