Inside the West Forest Hotel, Chu Ge finally talked with Mu Lingshan about what he truly wanted to say.
"Tiger Girl, don't you say that since a person can like many different kinds of fruits, many different brands of various things at the same time, then, if you say a person..."
At this point, Chu Ge's voice paused, and he turned a somewhat helpless gaze onto Mu Lingshan.
Gazing into each other's eyes, Mu Lingshan's heart stirred, and she finally vaguely guessed why Chu Ge was asking such a question.
After hesitating briefly, Mu Lingshan pursed her lips, "Chu Ge, I think I roughly understand what you mean."
Chu Ge smiled wryly, "Do you think this is a difficult problem? Do you say this problem is worth me finding it hard to understand?"
"Perhaps." Mu Lingshan brushed a strand of hair at her forehead, and if she was just guessing earlier, now that it's spoken to this point, she felt there was nothing more to suspect; the meaning Chu Ge wanted to express was exactly what she had thought of.
"There's a word called 'unfaithful,' which probably describes this kind of thought you have. From a certain perspective, this thought of yours is quite shameless, quite selfish."
Hearing Mu Lingshan say this, Chu Ge's face showed a "sure enough" bitter smile; in fact, he also thought this way in his heart.
"But..." Mu Lingshan held Chu Ge's hand, "there's another phrase, called 'love beyond control.'
Chu Ge was slightly taken aback, then saw Mu Lingshan's lips curl into a smile as she slowly leaned closer to him.
Just at this moment, a sudden sound of footsteps was heard outside the door, followed by the door echoing with a "knock, knock, knock..."
The knocking was more urgent and louder than when Mu Lingshan had knocked, the door panels were shaking violently, and Mu Lingshan furrowed her brows, immediately standing up from the couch.
Chu Ge inwardly cursed, vigorously left the couch, blocking Mu Lingshan ahead of him.
With a "bang," the door was opened from outside by someone, and Chu Ge frowned even tighter.
Looking at this situation, no matter who they were, they were definitely not friendly; otherwise, how could they just symbolically knock and then use a spare room card that only the front desk should have to open the door?
A flash of shadow appeared at the doorway, two men wearing police uniforms quickly rushed in.
Mu Lingshan slightly relaxed her furrowed brows, just about to say something when Chu Ge leaned towards her ear, "Don't speak yet, something's wrong."
As soon as Chu Ge whispered to Mu Lingshan, the tall, thin policeman who came in first pointed his finger at Chu Ge's nose, shouted, "What are you mumbling about! Who allowed you to whisper! Raise your hands! Don't move!"
Chu Ge turned his head, his gaze glanced at the badge number on the chest of these two policemen, silently memorizing them.
Seeing Chu Ge standing there motionless, the black-faced policeman who came in second assumed he was scared stiff, immediately glaring, "What are you looking at? Didn't you understand we said to raise your hands!"
Chu Ge felt a surge of annoyance inside, recently how come he always seemed to run into police officers? Could it be his mouth is truly prophetic?
When Mu Lingshan came knocking, he murmured about possibly having a police room inspection, and now, just a little while later, there really were police here inspecting the room, and this attitude seemed problematic?
Silently furrowing his brows, Chu Ge raised his hands as instructed, "Comrades, may I ask what's the matter?"
"What's the matter?" The tall, thin policeman scoffed, casting a sidelong glance at Chu Ge, "Kid, playing dumb with me, huh? We received a public report that someone here is selling prostitution!"
"Oh, I see." Chu Ge nodded, not saying much else, even though he felt quite angry inside and had several different guesses; he quietly watched as the two policemen approached him.
Chu Ge remained unmoved, but Mu Lingshan couldn't contain herself; after all, Chu Ge was a married man, and now both she and Chu Ge were only wearing bathrobes; even if it wasn't selling prostitution, there would be no easy explanation, and if this matter got out, it would absolutely be a disaster for her.
She hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward, "Comrades, this is a misunderstanding."
"Misunderstanding?" Hearing Mu Lingshan say this, the black-faced policeman instantly reacted as if they'd heard a joke and snorted heavily from his nose, "You two dressed like this, and you're telling me it's a misunderstanding? You think I'm blind, huh? Stop the nonsense, come with us."
Previously, with Chu Ge blocking Mu Lingshan, the two policemen hadn't taken much notice of her. Now that she took a step forward, the tall, thin policeman's eyes immediately brightened, turning to look at the black-faced policeman and said, "Wait."
The black-faced policeman was startled, turning his head to look at the tall, thin policeman. When he noticed the malicious glint in the tall policeman's eyes and carefully examined Mu Lingshan, he quickly realized.
A couple of days ago, the news seemed to report that a twenty-year-old female student with legs measuring 1.19 meters apparently broke the Guinness World Record. At the time, he saw the photos on the news and swallowed hard; the girl's legs before him, even if not quite 1.19 meters, didn't seem far off, and her looks were far more beautiful than the student in the news!
Noticing the malicious intent in these policemen's expressions, Chu Ge's cold smile grew even more pronounced.
It seems he has basically confirmed that this so-called "raid," was absolutely not arranged by Mu Chongyi. Otherwise, even if these two officers have nerves of steel, they surely wouldn't dare to pull any tricks.
Even if they are just pawns on the field, they at least follow orders from above. Before taking action, their boss would certainly give them some heads-up.
Since they are not from Mu Chongyi, then... there seems to be only one reasonable explanation: someone intended to target him and Mu Lingshan.
Chu Ge watched coldly. If these two policemen are really that clueless, wanting to dig their own graves, he wouldn't show them any courtesy. Perhaps, he doesn't even need to do anything. With Mu Lingshan's explosive temper, she absolutely wouldn't tolerate their nonsense.
Poor these two policemen, and even their boss have been used as pawns. They are now foolishly feeling smug without realizing they are in deep trouble.
The tall, thin officer and the black-faced officer exchanged glances and strode over to Mu Lingshan, chin held high with arrogance, saying: "Take off the bathrobe."
Mu Lingshan was momentarily stunned, her sharp eyebrows slightly furrowed, "What did you say? Say it again?"
"I said, take off the bathrobe! I suspect you have contraband on you! What's the matter, want me to help you?"
The black-faced officer snorted impatiently and reached out toward Mu Lingshan as he spoke.
Mu Lingshan slapped the black-faced officer's hand aside, her brows furrowing deeper, "Officer, please show some respect. Is this how you handle cases normally? Hmm?"
Both officers were stunned. What the hell is this situation? This woman was quite obedient earlier, but now she dares to growl at them? With her expression tensed, she actually seems pretty imposing?
"Respect? You think a whore like you can talk to me about respect? Behave yourself! Don't make trouble for yourself!"
The black-faced officer snorted again, shaking his aching right hand that Mu Lingshan had hit, and pushed towards her.
Mu Lingshan stepped back, causing the officer's hand to swipe at empty air. He looked at Mu Lingshan's cold, sharp gaze, his face twitched, and he was instantly filled with embarrassing rage.
"Why are you staring at me? Unhappy about something? I'm warning you, don't ignore the warning!"
Mu Lingshan laughed, an angry laugh; she always felt some police officers from her previous precinct were contemptible, but compared to these two in front of her, those colleagues she despised could practically be seen as model cops.
Chu Ge laughed as well, a cold smile, as he lowered his hands that had been raised above his head and relaxed into the sofa, casually crossing his legs.
He was curious to see how long these two policemen would continue acting arrogantly in front of Mu Lingshan, as they truly had no idea who was disrespected here.
"Hey, hey, hey! Who told you to sit down? You..."
The tall, thin officer had been leering at Mu Lingshan, suddenly discovering that the man who should've been trembling in fear was now coolly reclining on the sofa, which made him widen his eyes and noisily shout.
But before he could finish speaking, Mu Lingshan's icy voice rang in his ears.
"You two, show me your police IDs."
Mu Lingshan's voice was calm yet exuded an undeniable certainty. Although she recently got promoted, she was at least the vice captain of the criminal investigation team at the Lidu City Bureau, with a bit of official authority.
Even if this power isn't tremendous, it was enough to make these two officers pause.
"What's going on, are you..."
"Stop talking rubbish, just because you say you're policemen, does that make you policemen? I suspect you are fake officers; show me your IDs."
Mu Lingshan extended her hand with a stern face, her eyes filled with righteous indignant force, her gaze quite intimidating.
The officers were somewhat shaken by Mu Lingshan and hesitated slightly before finally taking out their police IDs.
They've encountered situations like this before. There are always some who won't give up until they see undeniable evidence, not acting sensible until the IDs are shown.
However, just as they intended to wave their police IDs briefly in front of Mu Lingshan before taking them back, her hands quickly moved and these two IDs landed right into Mu Lingshan's hands.
Having seized their police IDs, Mu Lingshan didn't even look at them before tossing them directly to Chu Ge, who caught them casually, a slight smirk playing on his lips.
The officers were furious, "What are you doing!"
"What am I doing?" Mu Lingshan sneered, "Now I'd like to ask you, what do you intend to do?"
