Chu Ge was quite frustrated, or to be precise, he was extremely frustrated.

He had been staying at Ye Li's rented apartment for the past few days, comforting her, accompanying her, taking care of her. Actually... it wasn't really a big deal, but the problem was, he really didn't want to get too involved with Ye Li. He didn't want this gentle and kind girl to waste her thoughts on him.

Ye Li was feeling down, and in such a situation, she naturally wouldn't have many other thoughts, but Chu Ge was different. That bastard was dead, and it was definitely something worth celebrating. He was in a good mood.

However, what was originally something that made Chu Ge happy also affected him due to Ye Li's low spirits. Regardless of his current feelings towards Ye Li, seeing such a nice girl so sad was quite uncomfortable for him, really heart-wrenching.

He might think that the bastard was dead, so be it, but Ye Li definitely wouldn't think that way. After all, that bastard was her foster father, and in those past years, he had given her some pitiful amount of care.

After a few days, Ye Li's emotions finally stabilized, and he didn't spend the night there. Today, he originally planned to go to a bar to relax, have a few drinks, watch some performances, listen to some songs, but unexpectedly, he was so unlucky to run into this kind of situation again.

Had he known it would be like this, he wouldn't have come to this bar. There are so many Lidu Bars, why did he have to run into her here?

But after feeling depressed for a while, he became relaxed. If he hadn't come, in case this "Tiger Girl" ran into some tough characters, who knows what could have happened. Although he always thought Mu Lingshan was pretty "tiger-like," they could at least be considered acquaintances.

If there was a suitable opportunity, he also wanted to give Mu Lingshan a wake-up call; stop arrogantly daydreaming all the time. Even at a life-and-death moment, the "mysterious master" she admired so much wouldn't show up. In the future, just be an honest little policewoman and live her little life well.

Three taxis were driving one after another. Because it was the time when nightlife had just begun, the road was busy with vehicles; Mu Lingshan and Chu Ge's tracking was not very conspicuous. Besides, the man in front had no sense of vigilance, so when he got off the car and walked into a two-story building, he didn't realize he was being watched.

When she saw the taxi in front slowing down, Mu Lingshan got off at the intersection, trying to act as if nothing had happened, stealthily following along to see what was going on ahead.

However, holding her breath, with a bit of tension and excitement, she had just taken a few steps and hadn't had time to turn the corner when she suddenly felt someone pat her on the shoulder, shivering as she spun around and instinctively swung her right arm to deliver an elbow strike.

The person who patted Mu Lingshan's shoulder was naturally Chu Ge. Seeing such a big reaction from her, he couldn't help but find it amusing. He easily deflected her elbow strike and pulled her to his side, whispering in her ear, "Don't move if you don't want to draw attention, it's me, Chu Ge."

Failing with the elbow strike, Mu Lingshan intended to follow up with a knee strike, but hearing Chu Ge's voice, she forcibly stopped the thought, slightly stunned, and relaxed a bit, lowering her voice, "Chu Ge? What are you doing here? Are you a ghost or something? You walk without making any sound?"

"Nonsense, I was just following you. If you have something to say, let's talk in that cold drink shop over there."

Mu Lingshan glanced sideways, then noticed a cold drink shop diagonally across from the two-story building. The view there was obviously excellent, completely able to see the movement at the building's entrance.

Mu Lingshan hesitated for a moment but finally agreed with a "hmm," walking alongside Chu Ge like a couple towards the cold drink shop, heading to a small room on the second floor.

When going up the stairs, Chu Ge had already confirmed that there was no one in the two rooms on either side. After ordering drinks and cold drinks and waiting for the waiter to leave, he started asking, and Mu Lingshan, without holding back, revealed her plan.

After listening to Mu Lingshan, Chu Ge patted his forehead, looking speechless, and said, "Do you know your tracking skills are terrible, your alertness is poor, and you're doing things in a disorderly manner? Liang Yu comes into contact with many people every day. Isn't what you are doing like finding a needle in a haystack? How can you be sure that the person you were just following is problematic?"

The reason Mu Lingshan told Chu Ge her plan was that she hoped Chu Ge could help her, but she didn't expect Chu Ge to be so blunt, criticizing her as entirely worthless.

She took a big gulp of juice, her gaze looking out the window, watching the direction of the two-story building, saying angrily, "Yeah, this is all I've got. I don't know if that person has a problem, but at least I'm responsible for my duty, unlike some people who seem to only make sarcastic remarks."

Chu Ge shrugged, "You don't have to provoke me. I'm just here to remind you that your current actions are essentially useless. Do you really think your luck will be so good that by randomly following someone you think is suspicious, you will catch any criminal evidence? Are you stupid?"

Although Mu Lingshan was feeling frustrated, she still stubbornly said, "What if I do have such good luck, will you help me just this once?"

Chu Ge slightly raised the corners of his mouth, "Sure, but do you think this is realistic? If you had such luck, why work for a salary? Just buy a few lottery tickets and win a few million or tens of millions, wouldn't that be better."

In Chu Ge's view, if Mu Lingshan could discover any criminal facts like this, it would be like a blind cat bumping into a dead mouse or something even less likely. And speaking of this, he couldn't help but think of Qin Ruojing. Didn't Qin Ruojing's start-up capital come from winning the lottery?

People, you never know when you'll encounter something bizarre. However, the word bizarre itself means it barely happens. Chu Ge still thought this matter was completely unreliable.

Having another metaphorical bucket of cold water thrown on her by Chu Ge, Mu Lingshan originally didn't want to pay attention to Chu Ge's teasing voice, but at this moment, her pitch-black pupils suddenly shone as if she'd discovered a new world.

"Looks like my luck is not just ordinary today; someone should probably keep their promise, right?"

As a van stopped in front of the small two-story building, two shifty-looking young men who didn't seem like good news, along with five or six flamboyantly dressed young women, got out of the car. Mu Lingshan's lips finally curled up, and she turned to give Chu Ge a proud smile.

Suppressed by Chu Ge for so long, it looked like... she could finally revel in her little victory.

Watching in the same direction as Mu Lingshan, Chu Ge couldn't help but sweat a little. Judging by the sneaky looks of those two young men, seemed like there really was something fishy going on here?

Though speechless, since Chu Ge had promised Mu Lingshan just now, he naturally wouldn't back out at this time. Helplessly nodding his head, "Alright, tell me how you want me to help you."

For once, having the upper hand over Chu Ge, Mu Lingshan felt immensely pleased seeing his helpless expression. Her black eyes rolled naughtily as she craftily said, "Well... I'll tell you once I've figured it out. For today, after finishing our cold drinks, let's get out of here."

Realizing there might be something off about this place, Mu Lingshan did not want to waste the opportunity of having Chu Ge's help. She understood the importance of using your resources wisely, so she'd save it for when something more challenging came along.

The next day, Mu Lingshan went to work at the police station as usual during the day. At night, she put on a heavy makeup, sprayed her hair with a type of instant dye that could be washed out with water, styled it into something completely different from usual, put on a seductive outfit, and went to Chu Ge's house, knocking on the door.

It's not that Mu Lingshan didn't want to continue probing Liang Yu for breakthroughs; she just knew such matters couldn't be rushed. Since there was no knowing when things might stir up over there, why not first test what was actually going on here — what if it really had something to do with drugs?

When Chu Ge saw Mu Lingshan, he was utterly astonished. Was this... still the same valiant police officer he knew? It must have been tough for her to dress like that; she looked exactly like a bar girl.

On her head, her originally black and beautiful hair had turned golden, styled into waves, with a three-to-seven part covering half her face, looking both fluffy and alluring. She wore a long-sleeved black dress made of mesh, with hollow lace patterns on the arms and shoulders.

The most striking part was a tattoo of a red rose on Mu Lingshan's body. Half of its blooming petals were visible, while the other half and its green stem were hidden under her clothes, adding to her charm.

Looking further down, the dress had a very short hemline, showcasing her long, slender legs wrapped in black translucent stockings, complemented by a pair of delicate high-heels.

Originally, even for an investigation, Mu Lingshan felt quite awkward dressed like this.

However, when she knocked on Chu Ge's door and saw the rare dumbfounded look on his normally cocky and annoying face, she suddenly felt a sense of pride and accomplishment.

Seems like my makeup turned out pretty well; this guy's dumbstruck. He probably hasn't recognized me yet, huh?

Thinking proudly, Mu Lingshan couldn't resist the urge to "tease" Chu Ge a bit.

"Knock knock"

Mu Lingshan provocatively lifted her foot, using the long thin heel of her peep-toe shoe to tap the floor.

"Sir, do you need any services?"

Chu Ge found it amusing, instantly seeing through Mu Lingshan's intentions. However, since she was in the mood to play, directly exposing her would be a bit uncouth.

Hmph, playing dumb, huh? That's my specialty. I'll play along nicely today.

Thinking so, Chu Ge deliberately licked his lips with a piggish expression.
