However, to Chu Ge, defeating Park Sungjin was just a trivial matter, not worth bragging about, so he didn't bother telling her about it. He chatted with her for a few moments and then hung up the phone.

Then, Chu Ge picked up that nurse outfit and left Chu Shiyao's house.

Returning to his place, he put the pristine white nurse outfit on Mu Lingshan and admired her for a while, finding it quite pleasing to the eye.

The same outfit looked completely different on different women. Mu Lingshan, being a policewoman, managed to look spirited and valiant even in a nurse's outfit.

After looking for a few moments, Chu Ge carried Mu Lingshan back to the bed in his bedroom, tossed her dirty clothes into the washing machine, took a cold shower, surfed the internet in the living room for a bit, and by around ten, lay down on the sofa.

The next morning, Mu Lingshan woke up rubbing her temples. The hangover was truly unpleasant, making her feel faintly weak and a bit headachey.

Glancing around, Mu Lingshan immediately recalled the events of last night. Apparently, after drinking too much, she ended up staying at Chu Ge's place again.

Realizing this, she felt quite embarrassed. Since she was in the bed, obviously Chu Ge must have ended up sleeping on the sofa again, just like last time.

Oh well, this was Chu Ge's home, and as a guest, she was always making him sleep on the sofa. It really didn't seem right. Next time she came here, she'd definitely drink less—actually, no, she just wouldn't drink. Oh wait, there shouldn't be a next time; why would she come here to find this guy again?

Throwing off the quilt and just about to get out of bed, Mu Lingshan was startled to realize she wasn't wearing the clothes from yesterday. Instead, she was in a plain white nurse's outfit. She froze for a moment and then her face turned ugly.

It was obvious who took off her clothes and put this on her. It could only have been Chu Ge. Didn't that mean he'd seen everything?

Thinking this, Mu Lingshan blushed with anger, immediately got out of bed, slammed the door open, and strode towards the sofa, seething with rage.

The slam woke Chu Ge up. Hearing Mu Lingshan's footsteps, he knew she had come to settle scores with him and wouldn't let him sleep any longer. He yawned and opened his eyes.

"Awake?"

Mu Lingshan, face like frost, pointed to her outfit and asked, "What's this all about?"

Chu Ge lazily explained, "You threw up yesterday. Your clothes and pants were dirty, so I went to my neighbor to borrow something. I washed your clothes; they're hanging on the balcony."

Mu Lingshan paused, vaguely remembering that she might have thrown up, but couldn't recall what happened afterward.

"So you just took off my clothes?"

Chu Ge rolled his eyes and said helplessly, "If I hadn't, you'd have messed up my bed, right?"

Seeing Chu Ge's justified expression, Mu Lingshan was momentarily speechless, feeling she really couldn't argue.

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in tigresses like you. With your figure, there's nothing to see. Besides taking off your clothes and putting new ones on, I didn't do anything else. If there's nothing else, I'll get back to sleep."

Chu Ge finished speaking and closed his eyes again. Mu Lingshan's face turned from green to red, feeling indignantly frustrated. After all, she was somewhat of a flower among policewomen, with many men pursuing her. How come in Chu Ge's eyes, she became worthless?

But Mu Lingshan quickly realized something and angrily poked Chu Ge's shoulder, "You borrowed clothes from your neighbor; couldn't you get something else? Why did it have to be a nurse's outfit? You pervert, how can you say you didn't have ulterior motives?"

Chu Ge shook his head helplessly, "Her clothes wouldn't fit you. This one is loose, so you could at least wear it."

Mu Lingshan paused, immediately thinking of Chu Shiyao's stunning figure and understanding Chu Ge's meaning, making her blush even redder.

"You complain about no breasts, yet you insist I call you out for it."

Chu Ge murmured, and Mu Lingshan's eyes twitched, "What did you say? Say it again!"

"No matter how many times I say it, it's the truth, okay? Grandma, I cleaned up after you puked, washed your clothes, and borrowed clothes for you. You're not even thanking me. Early in the morning, you just let me sleep a bit more instead of glaring at me, alright?"

Seeing Chu Ge's sleepy yet resigned look and glancing at the shirt and jeans hanging on the balcony, Mu Lingshan's anger dissipated quite a bit, realizing she really misunderstood Chu Ge's good intentions.

Regarding the past incident with Xia Feifei, although she didn't see the situation herself, she could roughly imagine what happened.

Probably if it were any other man, he would have seized the chance to win over Xia Feifei, but Chu Ge didn't. Instead, he went to great lengths to help Xia Feifei make an antidote, so why would he do anything to her yesterday?

"Never mind then, you go back to sleep; I'm leaving. I'll wash this dress and return it."

Mu Lingshan softened her tone a bit and headed towards the door.

"Hey, I say, are you still planning to investigate the Long Family?"

Chu Ge still wasn't entirely at ease with this Tiger Girl, and asked as he watched Mu Lingshan's back.

"Of course! Even if you don't care about me, he surely will! As long as he helps, there won't be any problem in finding evidence of the Long Family's crimes!"

Mu Lingshan halted her steps, turned her head, and said to Chu Ge with determination.

Chu Ge rolled his eyes, "He? You don't mean that mysterious master who saved you before, do you?"

"Yes, that's him. In terms of character and ability, he's a hundred times better than you!"

Chu Ge snorted with laughter and teased, "Alright, he's impressive, but can you tell me where he is?"

Chu Ge thought that with his question, Mu Lingshan would definitely be at a loss for words and look crestfallen, but to his surprise, Mu Lingshan simply smiled, instantly invigorated, and said, "I can't find him, but I finally figured it out. I finally know how to meet him."

Chu Ge was taken aback, feeling completely bewildered, "How can you meet him?"

Mu Lingshan originally wanted to leave with style and intentionally keep Chu Ge in suspense, but considering he took care of her last night, she eventually turned around and explained to him.

"The last two times I met him, it was when I was in danger and almost dying, so I believe if I encounter unsolvable trouble again, and face a life-or-death crisis, he will surely show up again. That way, I can meet him and ask for his help."

Looking at the confident, self-assured Mu Lingshan, Chu Ge's mouth twitched, feeling genuinely defeated by her.

Chu Ge never thought that the two times he casually helped Mu Lingshan would give rise to such a strange idea in her mind. How could this Tiger Girl be so bold, and what on earth was inside her head? How could she even come up with something like this?

Although his daily life wasn't extremely busy, it certainly wasn't leisurely enough to be constantly by Mu Lingshan's side. If he's not there and this Tiger Girl encounters another life-or-death situation, wouldn't she be doomed?

"Did you get it? Anything else? If not, I'll be on my way. You can go back to your beauty sleep!"

Chu Ge was filled with mixed emotions, as Mu Lingshan triumphantly spoke and turned to leave. He hurriedly stopped her.

"Wait, aren't you overthinking it a bit? Do you really believe he'll appear when you're in danger again? Haven't you considered that he just happened to run into you when you were in trouble and helped you out?"

Mu Lingshan nodded, "I did think about that, but when I considered it carefully, there's no way it was a coincidence that he happened to run into the same kind of danger with me twice. So, he should be secretly protecting me."

Chu Ge rolled his eyes, shook his head, and muttered, "You Tiger Girl, you're way too bold. I give up on you."

When she heard Chu Ge give her another nickname, Mu Lingshan's anger flared up, and her eyes widened, "Who are you calling Tiger Girl? Don't make me punch you!"

Chu Ge looked at Mu Lingshan disdainfully, "Nonsense, it's just the two of us here. Would it make sense if I was talking about someone else?"

"You..."

Seeing Mu Lingshan's face get even more annoyed, Chu Ge's expression grew even more teasing.

"What do you mean 'you'? You shouldn't get upset about the Tiger Girl thing. Could it be that you're a rich heiress, secretly protected by someone? Why would someone be so bored to protect you, and why are you so vain?"

"I..."

"Alright, stop with the 'you, you, me, me' stuff. Come on, people have brains for thinking. Could you try to think more rationally?"

Mu Lingshan glared at Chu Ge, who was pointing to his head with his finger, clenching her fists tightly, but she had to admit, Chu Ge was making a lot of sense, just like every other time before, she couldn't out-talk him.

In defiance, Mu Lingshan snorted, "I can't be bothered to argue with you. Anyway, I've decided I have to try this method, no matter what."

"What if, after you try it, you find out things aren't like you thought? Won't you be dead then?"

"I... well, I would accept it!"

Chu Ge was utterly speechless. How was this Tiger Girl so stubborn?

The conversation had reached this point, and she still hadn't changed her mind. No way, he had to come up with a plan to dispel her ridiculous notion.

Chu Ge's mind raced quickly, and suddenly a light bulb went off in his head, coming up with an idea that should work with Mu Lingshan's stubborn personality.
