Chapter 1658: Chapter 1677: Glib and Slick Talker
Heaven knows whether he’s telling the truth.
In Huo Beijiang’s words, political players have dirty hearts.
“Alright, we’re leaving too.” Yu Xiaoxiao called out, personally going to start the car.
During the waiting period, Ning Di asked, “Is Fu Xinwu still with you?”
Ning Di’s seemingly casual question caused Yu Fengji, who appeared calm and collected, to show a slight unnatural expression. He gently coughed, diverted his gaze, and the dim night lights concealed the faint redness at the tips of his ears.
“Yes!” Yu Fengji’s voice carried a slight raspiness.
Ever since Jiang Nanfei and Gu Qiu left, Xin Wu was agitated and insisted on following them. He really had no choice—he couldn’t just watch her go to such a dangerous place like Kannaya, so he restricted all her means of going abroad.
But this little girl, having grown up in the compound, was full of clever ideas, constantly coming up with new ways. If he hadn’t been more vigilant, this little girl might have really run away. Eventually, he had no choice but to limit even her exits from the city.
During that time, the little girl was constantly having a battle of wits and courage with him. Although he always put on a stern face and never gave a pleasant look, it was the happiest time of his twenty-some years of life. In fact, having this already made him very satisfied. Later, when Leng Peixi’s frenzied backlash even affected Xin Wu, to ensure her safety, he brought Xin Wu back home.
Let her temporarily stay at his place.
Brought her home!
Yu Fengji rolled these four words around in his mouth over and over, savoring them carefully. These simple words unexpectedly allowed him to experience a sensation of taking action that he had never felt before.
The night was too dark, and Ning Di, a lifelong bachelor who had never been in love, didn’t notice Yu Fengji’s abnormality at all. He only politely said, “Fu Xinwu has troubled you during this time. Now that the issue is resolved, she shouldn’t stay with you any longer. Both old heads of the Huo Family are very worried about her. I’ll send someone to bring her back to the compound tomorrow.”
“Okay!” Yu Fengji took only a second to completely regain his composure, expressionless, and said, “I have to work late tonight, so I can’t go home. I’ll call and tell her.”
He couldn’t go back home, couldn’t go back to that place filled with her unique scent.
The feelings he had been suppressing so painfully, he was almost unable to control them. If he went back, he was really afraid he would do something impulsive that he would regret.
“Let’s go!” Yu Xiaoxiao drove the car over.
Ning Di slightly nodded and then left after getting in the car.
“Captain, everything has been completed.” Chang Bin came over, a folder tucked under his arm, “We can also retreat now. After working so hard for so long, we can finally go back and have a good night’s sleep.”
“Now you want a good night’s sleep? Work overtime for me.”
“Huh? Overtime?” Chang Bin’s face immediately fell, “No, Captain, we’ve already been working overtime for a long time, and your future sister-in-law is waiting for you at home! If you don’t go back, the future sister-in-law will definitely be scared.”
After speaking, Chang Bin didn’t forget to wink suggestively.
Recently, the biggest news in the bureau isn’t about someone getting promoted, nor someone solving a major strange case. It’s that their perennial iron tree has finally bloomed. The bureau’s youngest and most promising captain, someone who raises the overall image of the entire Imperial City Police Department by himself, finally has a girl in his life. It’s really something special.
