Beicheng Public Security Bureau.

Yang Chen was quite familiar with this place, having been here quite a few times.

When he arrived at the lobby, surprisingly, someone waved at him to greet him, indicating that he was recognized by some people here.

Yang Chen went directly to Gu Xijun's work area and saw a ponytail sticking over the office glass.

He could recognize her at a glance – it was Gu Xijun, though he didn't know what she was doing at her desk.

Yang Chen strode over to Gu Xijun's desk.

He saw Gu Xijun leaning over the desk, eating a delicate tiramisu.

Seeing this, Yang Chen couldn't help but shake his head.

Women, indeed, remain women; no matter how tough they act, they hide a pink heart inside.

"Hey!" Yang Chen shouted.

"Ah!" Gu Xijun was startled, and the fork in her hand flew out, with the flicked-off cream landing on her face.

"You!" Gu Xijun looked up at Yang Chen, her pretty face flushed with anger.

Yang Chen felt helpless, "You asked me to come here."

"Well, I didn't ask you to scare me! Besides, who let you in? This is our office area!" Gu Xijun said angrily.

At the same time, Gu Xijun wondered why no one stopped him.

Yang Chen replied helplessly, "Who knew you'd have such a big reaction?"

He originally thought that the straightforward Gu Xijun would be more thick-skinned, but he hadn't expected her to be so timid.

"I!" Gu Xijun's face turned even redder.

She knew her usual personality was quite unrestrained, giving colleagues the impression of being a tomboy. But even as a tomboy, she was still a woman, with things she liked.

Although she didn't care for things like high heels or handbags, she loved gourmet food, especially sweet and visually appealing desserts; she had no resistance against them, unable to resist their temptation.

When heading to work today, she had passed by a pastry shop. Through the shop window, she saw freshly baked tiramisu, colorful and irresistible, so she bought a piece since she hadn't had breakfast yet.

However, she couldn't damage her tough image in front of her colleagues.

This tough image was somewhat of a protective posture for Gu Xijun. After all, her figure attracted many looks, which also brought unnecessary trouble. A tough demeanor had become a good protective shield.

That's why she was so careful, crouching low at her desk, secretly savoring the delicacy.

Yang Chen's scare naturally frightened her greatly.

"Where's Gao Hong?" Yang Chen asked directly, ignoring Gu Xijun's anger.

Men are truly strange creatures; without love for a woman, they remain curious and eager about different women with various figures and temperaments. But once someone occupies their heart, it's hard to make room for anyone else.

Just like now, Gu Xijun's chubby baby face, flushed with anger, watery eyes glaring at Yang Chen, had lost all its allure in his eyes.

Gu Xijun stood up instantly, shooting a glare at Yang Chen, and said coldly, "Wait here!"

With that, Gu Xijun turned and walked inside.

Yang Chen frowned, took a few steps forward, and saw Gu Xijun enter the women's restroom, suddenly realizing.

Soon, Gu Xijun came out tidying her clothes.

Seeing Yang Chen looking at her, her face turned red again.

Just now in the restroom, she had removed the tiramisu crumbs and wiped the cream off her face, leaving a female colleague beside her dumbfounded, eyes wide open.

That feeling made Gu Xijun very uncomfortable.

Gu Xijun walked up to Yang Chen and snorted coldly, "Follow me!"

Yang Chen followed behind Gu Xijun.

They arrived at the detention room, where Gu Xijun let Yang Chen meet with Gao Hong.

"Boss!" Gao Hong quickly spoke up upon seeing Yang Chen.

"Boss?" Gu Xijun looked at Yang Chen suspiciously, her hand already moving to her lower back.

Although after frequent interactions with Yang Chen lately, Gu Xijun knew he wasn't a bad person, but in such a situation, she remained vigilant.

"What exactly is your relationship?" Gu Xijun asked coldly.

Yang Chen sighed, saying to Gu Xijun, "Relax, you wouldn't even have the chance to make a move against me. If I were really a bad guy, you'd have been subdued the moment I entered."

Gu Xijun snorted coldly, clearly not believing him.

Gao Hong's eyes roved over Gu Xijun's attractive figure, making him swallow hard repeatedly.

Yang Chen glared at Gao Hong and demanded, "First tell me what's going on!"

Only then did Gao Hong retract his gaze awkwardly, "Didn't you tell me to handle those few people? So I called the police, but then she came up and cuffed me right away."

Gu Xijun sneered, staring at Gao Hong, "You're really bold. The minute your warrant was dismissed, you dared to come out openly. It would've been wrong not to arrest you!"

Gao Hong was speechless, wanting to speak but unable to, because he had nothing to say.

Yang Chen said, "But the current issue is, haven't Gao Hong's warrant and various charges already been withdrawn?"

"I don't care!" Gu Xijun said, "I don't know what methods you used to achieve this, but it won't work after being caught by me. I'll figure out the truth and ensure you're punished by law!"

Yang Chen frowned, "Do you even know that what you're doing now severely violates Gao Hong's rights?"

"Really?" Gu Xijun said indifferently, "He injured so many people, what I'm doing is completely normal!"

Gu Xijun was someone who stuck to her principles, with a strong intuition, much like when she perceived Yang Chen as a potential threat originally. Facts proved that Yang Chen's presence indeed affected Ningchuan's public security significantly.

Now Gu Xijun's focus on Gao Hong was also driven by intuition, after all, it seemed impossible for someone like Gao Hong to just have his record erased for no reason.

Yang Chen stared at Gu Xijun, his brow furrowed, saying in a deep voice, "You, woman, let me tell you, you really don't know anything! The man you've got locked up here isn't a criminal but a benefactor who once saved you all!"
