The commotion here was too loud, drawing the attention of several diners nearby who began to look over at Chi Mu Jiu.
"Isn't that the eldest son of the Lei family?"
"Isn't that the young lady from the Chi family who just returned?"
"Are they arguing?"
"Did the Chi family really raise a male model? No way! Is that trending topic true?"
"But from what the young lady said, it seems the trending topic was bought by the Lei family?"
"Why are there so many rumors about the Chi family lately?"
As more and more discussions reached Lei Ji's ears, his expression grew increasingly dark and grim.
"Young Master Lei, why are you so silent? Could it be that I hit the nail on the head?" Chi Mu Jiu continued to press with a smile that was neither here nor there.
She knew that the situation was entirely in her control now, while Lei Ji found himself in a passive and awkward position.
"Chi Mu Jiu, is there something I can explain? The Chi family will eventually go bankrupt!" Lei Ji finally couldn't hold back any longer, his voice filled with anger and threat.
He fixed his gaze on Chi Mu Jiu, his eyes flickering with fury.
However, Chi Mu Jiu was not intimidated by his threats; instead, her smile grew even brighter.
"Spreading rumors can lead to detention," she reminded him cheerfully. "Right, Officer Lu?"

???
Everyone present, including the onlookers, was taken aback.
"What officer?"
"Is there a police officer here?"
Jin Su and a few brothers followed their lady's gaze and saw the police officer sitting diagonally across from them, the same one they had encountered at the police station that day. It turned out that their lady had noticed the police presence early on, which was why she had advised them to hold off on taking action.
(As expected, it’s all thanks to the lady!)
Lei Ji and the woman beside him were momentarily taken aback, and then a visible panic set in. Regardless of whether there were truly police officers present, if Lei Ji were to be taken away for detention, it would not only be embarrassing but would also greatly impact the family’s reputation.
Lu Jin Zhi was dressed in casual clothes today, hoping for a quiet meal of hotpot after finishing an early shift. Just as she sat down and hadn’t even finished looking at the menu, this drama unfolded before her eyes.
Her gaze always held a chilling light, a result of her unique job of interrogating criminals day in and day out. The aura of righteousness surrounding her added a sense of determination to her handsome features.
Lu Jin Zhi stood up and politely addressed Chi Mu Jiu, “Miss Chi, you truly have sharp eyes.”
Seeing that there was indeed a police officer present, the chatter among the onlookers quieted down significantly. Lei Ji turned his head to look at Lu Jin Zhi; surprise flickered in his eyes before he hurriedly averted his gaze.
This subtle movement did not escape Chi Mu Jiu’s notice. If Lei Ji was merely afraid of being taken away by the police, why would there be a fleeting look of panic in his eyes? It seemed that Lu Jin Zhi was not someone to be underestimated.
“Master Lei, I heard your conversation with Miss Chi just now. Please accompany me and Miss Chi to the station,” Lu Jin Zhi stated firmly.
Not only did she intend to take Lei Ji with her, but she also needed to ask Chi Mu Jiu to come along to the police station.
“Officer Lu, what do you mean by this?” Jin Su pressed for clarification.
“It’s just a matter of having Miss Chi provide a written statement,” Lu Jin Zhi replied. “Since Miss Chi has personally spoken up, I kindly ask for your cooperation with my work.”
