Lu Jin knew that there was no need to rush as she took out her phone, and Chi Mu Jiu guessed she was probably calling her colleague. Well, she had thought that Lu Jin would take Lei Ji away, but now it seemed she was back at the police station for the second time.
At this point, entering and exiting the police station had become a routine. Lei Ji had completely lost his previous arrogance and was now behaving obediently. Everyone was quiet, tacitly agreeing not to speak.
Seizing the moment while no one was around, Chi Mu Jiu continued to enjoy the hot pot. Among the vegetables pulled from the spicy broth, there seemed to be a hidden Sichuan peppercorn. After chewing a few times, a wave of numbing spiciness flooded her mouth. The subsequent heat from the chili made her face turn red instantly, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Cough, cough, cough.
Jin Su noticed and wanted to help his wife by patting her back, but he hesitated to touch her. "Madam, drink some water," he urged. "Have some water to ease it."
Chi Mu Jiu was too choked up to speak; she hurriedly accepted the bottle of mineral water that Jin Su handed her. After taking several big gulps, she felt slightly better, but the lingering numbness in her mouth remained.
Lu Jin frowned slightly and stepped forward, offering Chi Mu Jiu the milk she had ordered earlier. "Drinking milk is more effective than water."
Chi Mu Jiu wanted to express her gratitude but found it difficult due to her sore throat. She accepted the milk from Lu Jin and exchanged a glance with Jin Su. He immediately understood.
"Thank you, Officer Lu," he said.
Another brother stood up and left his seat. Perhaps it was the effect of the milk; after taking a few sips, Chi Mu Jiu finally felt a bit more comfortable.
Just as she had just recovered, wanting to express her gratitude once more, a stunning woman walked in through the shop door, her expression clearly displeased.
Chí Mù Jiǔ had a clear view of every customer entering and exiting through the front door from her position. This beautiful woman was none other than Chí Qī Yún.
What a show! Tonight’s performance was truly one act after another.
As Chí Qī Yún stepped inside, her enchanting fox-like eyes hadn’t yet taken in the layout of the establishment before they landed on Chí Mù Jiǔ and the others. Her gaze first fell on Léi Jì, and in the next moment, it fixated on the woman beside him.
Then, this alluring beauty, who had captured the attention of many men upon entering, strode over with an imposing presence, her high heels clicking sharply against the floor.
So that’s why someone was out driving at this hour—turns out another vixen was causing trouble!
Chí Qī Yún’s beautiful face was filled with anger. Before anyone could react, she reached out and grabbed the hair of the woman beside Léi Jì, followed by a series of loud slaps.
The woman was stunned by the sudden attack, covering her face as tears streamed down her cheeks.
Léi Jì hadn’t expected Chí Qī Yún to make such a scene either.
Chí Mù Jiǔ continued to watch the unfolding drama with an impassive expression.
What a spectacle! One explosive scene after another—might as well gather everyone for a game of mahjong!
Everything happened too quickly; even Lù Jīn Zhī, who was the first to react, didn’t have time to intervene as an officer before Chí Qī Yún had already dealt with that woman.
Léi Jì, you really know how to play! After all I’ve done for you, just two days without me by your side and you find such a tacky woman to amuse yourself with?
You must be starving!
After cursing at the woman, Chí Qī Yún turned her ire towards Léi Jì. If it hadn’t been for her being choked up earlier, Chí Mù Jiǔ would have definitely applauded.
As for Chí Qī Yún’s temperament, no one understood it better than she did herself. Chí Qī Yún was the type who would go after anything she desired by any means necessary. If something she had invested time and effort into went awry under her nose, it would break her composure; she wouldn’t tolerate any sand in her eyes.
Thus, what Léi Jì and his newly found companion faced was a furious Chí Qī Yún—one who had gone completely off the rails and possessed an overwhelming force of aggression.
