At this moment, Mu Lingshan was wearing a neat police uniform, with the police badge on her hat gleaming brightly. The badge number on her uniform also shone, her long legs were as straight as ever. After not seeing each other for some time, her overwhelming sense of justice seemed to make her look even more gallant.

Chu Ge realized that people really can't avoid being talked about; he was just thinking about Mu Lingshan, and now they met again after such a short time.

"Officer Mu, long time no see. Here to eat?"

Seeing Chu Ge, Mu Lingshan was initially startled, then immediately furrowed her elegant brows.

"What are you doing here?"

Chu Ge grinned, "Officer Mu, that's a funny question! Since you saw me at the restaurant's entrance, I'm obviously here to eat. What else would I be doing at a place like this?"

"Stay right here, don't move. I've received a report from citizens saying there's a gathering here causing a disturbance."

After speaking, Mu Lingshan glanced at Ye Li, frowned, but said nothing more.

Mu Lingshan was somewhat used to the fact that beautiful women always seemed to appear around Chu Ge, even though she really didn't see why this guy was so lucky in love.

Just as she intended to pass by Chu Ge and enter the restaurant, Mu Lingshan suddenly saw eight men and two women coming out of the restaurant. Each one of them looked crestfallen, their foreheads beaded with sweat, their faces inexplicably pale.

When Mu Lingshan realized the leader was Geng Li, her brows furrowed even tighter.

Due to the jurisdiction, she wasn't very familiar with Geng Li, who had recently opened an internet café in the area, but at least knew he was a guy with some underworld connections, apparently also linked to Long Kun.

Although Geng Li hadn't been around long, he was already quite notorious here, known as "Brother Li," the kind of person everyone feared. He was already on her list of dangerous individuals.

Yet Geng Li appeared to be extremely frightened?

While Mu Lingshan was questioning this, she suddenly noticed two bright red slap marks on the faces of those two girls.

This... what happened? Could it possibly be Chu Ge's doing again!

Looking at Geng Li, Mu Lingshan asked with a frown, "Geng Li, what were you guys doing inside?"

"Nonsense, what else can you do in a restaurant besides eat?" At this time, Geng Li was also full of vexation. He could only tolerate Chu Ge, but had no qualms about speaking harshly to Mu Lingshan, not paying any mind to the young policewoman.

"Eating? Does eating require locking the restaurant's door?"

"I booked the place, any problem with that?"

Watching Geng Li spew nonsense, Mu Lingshan furrowed her brows even tighter. However, knowing he was a tough nut to crack, she looked at Li Nan and Lin Ling, who had slap marks on their faces, "And what about you two? What's with the marks on your faces?"

Li Nan pulled out a cigarette, clicked it on, and said impatiently, "Mosquitoes on my face. I slapped them myself. Same with her. What's the problem?"

Geng Li's lack of cooperation already annoyed Mu Lingshan, and unexpectedly, she hit a wall with Li Nan too. She truly didn't know what to say.

Whether it was Li Nan or Lin Ling, the slap marks were so apparent that if you weren't blind, you'd notice they'd been slapped by a man's large hand. This was blatantly lying!

Chu Ge was also somewhat surprised. This Li Nan should be hating him, yet now she's speaking in his favor?

But, Chu Ge couldn't be bothered to figure out Li Nan's thoughts; it saved him some trouble anyway.

As a student, Lin Ling wasn't as gutsy as Geng Li or Li Nan. Seeing the police made her nervous, and although she didn't say anything, she instinctively looked in Chu Ge's direction.

Not only Lin Ling, but also some others who slipped out of the restaurant, all looked at Chu Ge in unison, their eyes filled with doubt.

These people had heard Li Nan's call and saw Geng Li lead people charging in some time ago, shutting the restaurant door behind them.

In their view, during the time the restaurant door was closed, the couple who had provoked Li Nan would surely be dealt with. However, when the restaurant doors opened, this couple was unscathed? The notorious "Brother Li" seemed utterly terrified?

What... what was going on here?

Noticing so many eyes on Chu Ge, Mu Lingshan thought to herself that it was probably true. She knew anywhere this guy showed up would be nothing but trouble, and she couldn't help but glance at Chu Ge.

However, before Mu Lingshan could speak, Chu Ge cheerfully said, "Officer Mu, you heard it yourself? Nothing happened here at all. I'm off, I'll treat you to dinner someday."

Hearing Chu Ge acting as if they were close or even proposing to treat her in public, Mu Lingshan felt a surge of anger and suddenly realized something.

Could it be that they mistakenly thought she was with Chu Ge, seeing how casual Chu Ge was with her? Is that why they didn't dare tell the truth?

But... that doesn't seem right either. Maybe those two girls might think that way, but someone like Geng Li, why would he care about such a thing?

Although Mu Lingshan was baffled, watching Chu Ge about to leave, she still furrowed her delicate brows.

"Stop right there! Do you really think I can believe the things you're saying?"

Chu Ge shrugged indifferently, "Believe it or not, that's just how it is. Bye-bye."

He said this as he turned back, seeing Mu Lingshan momentarily speechless, and continued walking, taking Ye Li toward the Maserati.

At this time, Ye Li followed beside Chu Ge, still replaying the recent events in her mind, feeling as if she were in a dream. It wasn't until she heard "Get in the car" by her ear that she snapped back to reality.

At the same time, she suddenly realized the car in front of her was no longer the Audi A8 but a brand new, extremely high-end-looking car whose name she couldn't recall, leaving her stunned.

It wasn't just Ye Li who was stunned; everyone nearby was startled too, thoroughly shocked.

Watching Chu Ge open the Maserati's door for Ye Li, Lin Ling blinked hard, finding everything that had happened just now unforgettable. At this moment, she felt even more like she was dreaming.

So... this Maserati turned out to be the car of Ye Li's "Brother Chu", the "Master Chu" in Geng Li's words!

Mu Lingshan also couldn't believe her eyes. The last time she saw Chu Ge in an expensive suit, she found it hard to accept. Yet this time, he managed to get a Maserati?

However, being a police officer, Mu Lingshan quickly snapped back to reality, coming up with a plausible explanation.

In her mind, this car must belong to Chu Ge's boss, and Chu Ge must be using it to deceive gullible college girls.

As for Geng Li, he completely lost whatever little courage he had to seek revenge on Chu Ge later.

The same scene left the others realizing, this man, who could drive such a luxury car like a Maserati, was certainly someone formidable, explaining why even "Brother Li" was wary of him.

Amidst various kinds of gazes, Chu Ge had Ye Li sit in the passenger seat and then drove the Maserati away.

When the flashy Maserati disappeared from everyone's sight, the crowd dispersed with many discussions.

Mu Lingshan sat back in the police car with a complex expression, reflecting on this strange event, suddenly realizing something she had overlooked and was taken aback.

Could it be... that Chu Ge was also someone from the 'path'? Is that why Geng Li was so scared of him?

The more she thought about it, the more sense it made, and unconsciously, she furrowed her brows tighter, her expression becoming graver.

Meanwhile, Chu Ge drove the Maserati a certain distance down the road before finding a place to stop.

"Ye Li, you barely ate anything earlier. Do you want to find another place to have a proper meal?"

"No, thank you, Brother Chu."

Ye Li shook her head, bit her lip, wanting to say something, but couldn't figure out what to say.

Seeing Ye Li's hesitant look, Chu Ge smiled and asked, "What's on your mind? Do you think I was too much earlier? Like I've completely changed from the person you thought I was?"

"I..." Ye Li hesitated for a moment, nodded slightly, then shook her head, saying, "At first, a little bit, but later, I didn't think so."

Hearing Ye Li say this, Chu Ge got a bit interested, "Why do you say that?"

"Because, because you made Li Nan's brother apologize to the restaurant owner and compensate for his losses."

Originally, Chu Ge thought Ye Li would say Li Nan and her group's problems were self-inflicted. He didn't expect her to say this, feeling both helpless and amused. Her way of thinking, it turns out, was unique.

"Ye Li, when Li Nan and her friends apologized to you earlier, you must have noticed they weren't sincere, right? Now, do you regret not dealing with them more harshly?"

Ye Li softly smiled and shook her head gently.

"No, at least because of you, Brother Chu, they won't bully me anymore. Having that result, I'm already very content, and after all, they're girls too. I don't need to be too harsh on them."

If someone else had said that, it might seem pretentious, but from Ye Li, it sounded completely natural, her clear eyes devoid of a single impurity.

Chu Ge pinched his brow, smiling helplessly, "Silly girl, you're just too kind. Almost like a living Bodhisattva. I seriously don't know what to say about you."

Being somewhat complimented, Ye Li stayed silent, looking down to fiddle with her fingers.

"Since you don't want to eat, where do you want to go? Actually, I came to find you today because I have something to ask you. How about you choose a quieter place?"

Hearing this, Ye Li hesitated for a moment and quietly said, "Then... how about going to your place?"
