After getting off the car, he looked up and took in the imposing sight before him. The atmosphere was filled with righteousness, as if evil spirits were retreating. The sunlight shone brightly on two towering gates, several meters high, adorned with metallic decorations but lacking any lights. Ye Kai instinctively scratched his handsome face.
Ah-ha! Right in front of him was a gigantic LED display, and above it loomed a massive police emblem. The entire screen was filled with notices, constantly changing between various texts in Chinese and English.
Of course, this intimidating building complex had a rather pleasant name: the Public Security Bureau.
What on earth was going on here?!
His time was really running out!
It had already been over three hours, and he only had fourteen hours left!
Although the vibrant and adorable girls were indeed quite captivating, what if those two notorious figures found him? Wouldn’t his life be in grave danger again?
Alright then!
Looking at the energetic cute girl who seemed to say, "If you don't keep up, you'll regret it," Ye Kai felt he had no choice but to follow along.
However, when he saw Zhao Mengmeng toss him onto a chair before coldly walking away, he truly felt a headache coming on. What kind of situation was this?
Wasn't it always portrayed in dramas that sneaking in would lead to being startled into submission by fierce—oh no, righteous—shouts? Wouldn’t they confess immediately out of guilt?
Where was his moment? Ye Kai had begun to look forward to it!
But ten whole minutes passed, and where were they? Come on…
Suddenly…
Feeling inexplicably curious and slightly expectant yet unsure, Ye Kai glanced at the charming girl approaching him with a smile—oh no, the Police Flower.
Damn it! Why were all the girls here so cute? In just a blink, he had already spotted three or four sweet-looking girls!
Could it be that today’s girls all had violent tendencies?
Ye Kai felt like he was struggling to keep up with the rapid changes of the times; he was about to be crushed by the waves of the new generation.
However, having such a beautiful and lovely companion—oh no, the Police Flower—to keep him company, well, that was a kind of spiritual comfort. At least, at least he still had time, right? A full fourteen hours.
Trying to reassure himself, Ye Kai felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, insisting that he was really not in a hurry!
Zhang Jing had been keeping an eye on that guy named ‘Ye Kai’ for quite some time.
Although he appeared tall and handsome, who would have guessed he was actually a big lecher? With that impression in mind, looking at his fresh and sunny demeanor felt somewhat different.
No wonder people called him a ‘refined scoundrel,’ hmph!
Ye Kai watched as a cute girl in a blue uniform pushed open a chair and sat down, looking at him with mild impatience. His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly straightened up, trying hard to appear easygoing, friendly, sunny, and kind…
Zhang Jing glanced at him, her hands busy on the keyboard without looking up as she asked, “Name?”
“Ye Kai.” Even though time was tight and two guns were pointed at him, seeing such a cute and charming officer made him generously overlook her irritation.
After all, most kids born in the '80s and '90s might still remember a character named Ye Kai from something called ‘September Eagle Flight.’
So, Ye Kai honestly revealed his name, which might just become famous nationwide.
“Uh… you can actually say such an impressive name? I’m honored!” Upon hearing the name, Zhang Jing's lips curled slightly, though it was unclear whether she was smiling or mocking.
“Really?” Ye Kai rubbed his nose awkwardly.
This was a name chosen by his peculiar parents who were lost in another world. They had picked it from seventeen or eighteen options they thought sounded nice. Of course, they wrote down all the main characters' names they liked on paper and then drew lots to decide.
This wasn’t the first time a girl had teased him like this; Ye Kai had grown accustomed to it.
Although being teased by such a beautiful girl was a first for him, this was an extremely important moment—one that could be life or death. Faced with such a significant issue, he finally weakly asked the crucial question: “Excuse me, when can I leave?”
“The case hasn’t been fully investigated yet; why would you think you can leave?” Zhang Jing replied decisively. Then her pretty lips curled slightly as she sweetly smiled and said, “Just answer the questions honestly. Don’t ask irrelevant questions. This is the police station, not a market where you can haggle. Understand!?”
Huh?
How could this unfold so differently from what he had imagined? In Ye Kai's memory, no girl had ever been so at ease in front of his gentle demeanor and strikingly handsome face.
Moreover, he had undergone a transformation by the gods, making him several dozen percentage points more charming than before!
Suddenly, Ye Kai realized something.
The girl seemed to be smiling as if she had caught a big rooster, with that triumphant look in her eyes and the corners of her mouth slightly curled up. Ye Kai frowned; could it be that someone was trying to set him up?
"Excuse me, my house is on fire. What exactly is the cause? Officer, please..." Ye Kai squinted his eyes, forcing a smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes as he elongated his words.
"Mr. Ye Kai, we are investigating the true cause of the fire. Of course, if you are willing to cooperate, perhaps we can wrap this up a bit quicker," Zhang Jing said, her face also adorned with a 'friendly' smile.
This big lecher was clearly being delayed by the cute princess’s insistence, even though it had already been confirmed over an hour ago that Ye Kai had no connection to this murder and arson case.
But who could blame them for finding him so 'eye-catching'?
However, it was about time to move on. After all, he was a victim. If this dragged on any longer, who knew if this big lecher would become enraged and cause a scene?
Zhang Jing pulled out a document and placed it on the table before tapping it lightly. "Although you are the victim in this fire..."
"Wait a minute!"
A sudden loud shout startled Ye Kai so much that his face twitched. The signature pen he had just held fell from his hand as Hao Jian's grotesquely lewd face appeared out of nowhere. "What is your relationship with the victim?"
"The victim?"
Ye Kai was genuinely taken aback. No matter how much he tried to convince himself that he was not the same as before—with the gods on his side, he could definitely rise again—there was no way he could have changed his temperament so drastically in such a short time.
"Bang!"
Hao Jian slammed his palm on the table, scrutinizing him with sharp eyes filled with suspicion. "Ye Kai, stop playing dumb! Quickly tell me your relationship with the victim!"
"What victim?" Ye Kai's brow twitched, his expression becoming somewhat unnatural. He couldn’t help but swallow hard, stammering as he asked, "You’re not trying to tell me that I... in that house..."
"Alright, you can go now!"
Hao Jian suddenly felt that after letting this person leave, something interesting was likely to happen. Although this feeling came out of nowhere, he had always trusted his instincts.
Through various records and detailed accounts from several investigators on the scene, it was clear that there was a fifth person in that room; however, who exactly that person was remained uncertain.
Narrowing his eyes, he scrutinized the hesitant individual who had just signed with a somewhat stiff smile, and once again, the earlier doubts surged in Hao Jian's mind.
Even if this person had nothing to do with the case, still...
No, that’s not right!
This person definitely had some connection to the case.
Recalling the first time he encountered Ye Kai, all the signs and the somewhat exaggerated words and gestures flashed through Hao Jian's mind like a lightning bolt, sharpening his gaze even further.
It seemed that this time he had truly caught a big fish!
"After so many years... I finally come across such an 'interesting' case again," Hao Jian suddenly smiled.
