Chapter 81 Interlude

Ming let out a breath; it wasn't easy finding a game that Summer knew how to play.In the next few minutes, Kong Ming quickly downloaded QQ Games and installed Happy Mahjong Solitaire. After teaching...Chapter 83: Poaching

The duty police officer at the Household Registration Office was a young male cop who felt rather honored by Cold Ice's sudden appearance. Naturally, he didn't dare to slack off when she asked him to process an ID card for Summer.

"Fill out the paperwork here; I have something else to do, so I won't wait around!" After giving this instruction, Cold Ice left immediately, and in the following days, she would often regret making that decision.

Right now, Summer was an undocumented individual with no birth certificate or registered residence address. But it didn’t matter since Cold Ice had instructed them to give him a household registration.

Following the guidance of the police officer in charge of registrations, Summer spent half an hour filling out all the paperwork and getting his picture taken. Then the officer told him that he would receive his ID card within a few days—normally it wouldn't happen so quickly, but since Cold Ice had brought him over, they naturally gave priority to his case.

Afterwards, Summer went back to the Criminal Investigation Unit, only to find out that Cold Ice wasn’t there. It seemed like she anticipated him coming and left again.

"Ah well, I was looking forward to having lunch with Miss Police Officer." Summer felt a little disappointed. Since Cold Ice wasn't around, he didn’t want to stay at the station anymore.

Just as he was about to leave, someone entered the police station—none other than Huang Anping.

Huang Anping saw Summer and was initially puzzled before breaking into a delighted smile: "Summer You’re Summer, right I remember you!"

"That's me. What do you want Are you here to look for my wife" Summer glared at Huang Anping with hostility.

"Your wife" Huang Anping was initially stunned, then suddenly enlightened, "Oh, you mean the Cold Beauty No, of course not. I must have had a problem with my head at that time; actually, I never really had any feelings for her. It's just that when something goes wrong in your brain, everything gets mixed up."

Huang Anping's explanation made Xia Tian less hostile towards him. Since he wasn't trying to steal his wife, then everything could be discussed.

Seeing that Xia Tian didn't respond, Huang Anping warmly invited again: "Xia Tian, it’s almost noon; let's have lunch together. I originally planned to find you tomorrow."

"You want something from me" Xia Tian was a bit puzzled, did this guy still need medical treatment

"Nothing special, just wanted to thank you in person and, knowing that you are someone extraordinary, I’d like to get acquainted with you," Huang Anping directly stated his intentions without beating around the bush.

Xia Tian appreciated straightforwardness, so he liked Huang Anping a bit more as a result. He nodded and agreed: "Alright then, let's go out for lunch."

The two of them went to a restaurant outside the police station, ordered some dishes, opened two bottles of beer, and began chatting freely.

"Xia Tian, don't hide it from me. I really do owe you big time. Saying that you are my second father is not an exaggeration at all," Huang Anping poured a glass of wine for Xia Tian, "Here’s to our friendship; you’re now my brother, Huang Anping."

Xia Tian didn’t drink the wine and looked seriously at Huang Anping: “You really have no interest in my wife”

"Of course I don't. The Cold Beauty is indeed very beautiful and has a great body, but she's too cold for my taste," Huang Anping suddenly poked Xia Tian with his finger and pointed towards the restaurant entrance, "Hey, Xia Tian, look, that’s what I like actually, unfortunately, she already has a husband."

A female police officer walked in at the door, around twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with a sweet and pretty appearance and a decent figure, though far less fiery than Cold Ice. She had her own unique charm.

"Boss, give me a meal," the female police officer said softly. Turning her head, she seemed to sense Huang Anping looking at her and flashed a blush across her face.

“Do you really like her” Xia Tian finally felt relieved; this kid truly didn’t fancy Cold Ice, so he posed no threat.

“Yes, in fact, I’ve liked her for quite some time. Her name is Xiao Mei, and she’s also a member of the Criminal Investigation Unit but works in the archives,” Huang Anping said in a lowered voice.

“If you really like her, just take her as your wife!” Xia Tian finally took a sip of his drink.

“But she already has a husband!” Huang Anping pointed out.

“So what If I fancy someone, I’ll definitely take them as my wife. Just like Police Flower Sister, I’m determined to make her mine,” Xia Tian replied nonchalantly.

"Cough... Xia Tian, talking about Cold Beauty, I really admire you, but I can’t compete with you on this; taking someone else’s wife doesn't seem quite right," Huang Anping said, though he couldn’t help staring at Xiao Mei. Having lusted after the woman for so long, naturally, his true intention was to take her.

Xia Tian immediately looked down upon Huang Anping: "With your guts, you still want to be my brother Men without courage are like women without looks; no one likes them."

Huang Anping felt somewhat embarrassed; he had never heard of such theory before.

"Don't say I didn't warn you. Xiao Mei should be having issues with her husband now, and if you go after her now, it would be a great opportunity for you," Summer said.

Huang Anping was taken aback: "Summer, how do you know Did you know her before"

"Believe it or not, I know that she hasn't been intimate with any man for at least a month. If her husband likes her, would he go without touching her for an entire month" Summer said, turning up her nose.

"You can even tell this much" Huang Anping was dumbfounded. What a god-like person!

"It's up to you whether you want to pursue her or not," Summer said lazily. "If it weren't for the fact that I'm worried you'll try to snatch Police Sister from me, I wouldn't bother telling you all this!"

Turns out this guy still wasn't fully at ease with Huang Anping. Although mental illness might change a person's mindset, after Huang Anping fell ill and suddenly became infatuated with the cold-hearted woman, he should have had some intentions towards her in his heart, which was why Summer encouraged him to chase after Xiao Mei. Since she didn't like Xiao Mei anyway, let this guy go for it.

Huang Anping stared at Xiao Mei, his face shifting through various expressions; after a while, he suddenly drained his glass of alcohol in one gulp and gritted his teeth: "Alright, I'll follow your advice. Summer, since you can make me a normal person again, I’ll believe you once more. In the world of romance, too, I’m going to have my rebirth and snatch her away!"

"That's right! Once you manage to win her over, then you'll be qualified to become my brother," Summer was very satisfied with Huang Anping’s decision. "Let's raise a toast!"

"Cheers!" Huang Anping also raised his glass once more.

"Hey, now that the time is right to start pursuing her, this opportunity is rare!" After finishing off his drink, Summer urged Huang Anping into action.

"Now" Huang Anping was taken aback. Wasn't this a bit too quick

But then he saw the somewhat contemptuous look on Xia Tian's face and suddenly felt a surge of courage. If this kid dared to harass even the cold beauty, why shouldn't I, as the son of the head of public security and deputy captain of the criminal investigation team, pursue a female officer from the archives department

So what if she has a husband Nowadays, there are plenty of divorces. As the saying goes, as long as one wields an axe well, no wall will be unbreachable. I'll go and break up this relationship now!

With that thought in mind, Huang Anping suddenly got up and walked over to Xiao Mei.

"Xiao Mei, what a coincidence! Are you also having your meal here" Without hesitation, Huang Anping sat down opposite Xiao Mei.

"Yes, it is quite a coincidence." Xiao Mei looked at Huang Anping with her head raised and blushed slightly.

Actually, there wasn't much of a coincidence. The restaurant was right outside the public security bureau, so it wasn't unusual to bump into someone from there while having a meal.

Huang Anping, since he had decided on his course of action, naturally started chatting with Xiao Mei to make small talk. It seemed that Xiao Mei also had a good impression of Huang Anping, as they chatted quite warmly together. Xia Tian, however, found it rather boring and soon bid Huang Anping goodbye before leaving alone. He wasn't interested in playing matchmaker for others, but today's impression of Huang Anping was not bad, so he just wanted to eliminate a potential rival.

After leaving the restaurant, Xia Tian went back into the public security bureau. Seeing Huang Anping flirting with policewomen made him envious, and he too wanted to cultivate some relationships with police sisters.

Unfortunately, when he reached the criminal investigation team, he learned that Leng Bingbing had not yet returned. In fact, Xia Tian was now quite familiar with the sixth detachment of the criminal investigation team, where most officers knew him and were aware that this kid had designs on Leng Bingbing.

Since I can't build a relationship with Officer Yuanyuan, it seems I have no choice but to go back and foster a connection with Xīn姐 instead. Reluctantly, Xiàtiān had to leave the Criminal Investigation Team and head back to the flower shop.

In the hallway, a police officer brushed past him. A familiar scent suddenly wafted into his nostrils, causing Xiàtiān to frown involuntarily. He abruptly turned around and shouted at the officer, "Hey, stop there!"

The officer turned back; it was an ordinary-looking policeman with no distinguishing features. Looking at Xiàtiān, he seemed puzzled: “Did you call me”

"That's right, I'm talking to you," said Xiàtiān as he approached the police officer. "Brother, your skill in murder isn't very good!"

“Comrade, I don’t understand what you’re saying,” replied the policeman irritably. “Are you here for a matter at the Public Security Bureau”

"Did you come here to kill that little girl" Xiàtiān asked lazily. "Not seeing the victim when you commit murder is already pretty stupid, but coming to the police station to finish off someone who has survived shows just how much of an idiot you are. Of course, your biggest mistake is choosing this moment—when I’m at the station—to carry out your crime. By the way, what did your master teach you"

Upon hearing these words, the policeman's expression changed abruptly. With a sudden flick of his hand, he sent a cold glint hurtling towards Xiàtiān. At the same time, a sharp knife appeared in his grip as he charged at Xiàtiān.

"You're really quite stupid; you should have run away by now." Shaking his head, Xiàtiān reached out and caught the flying dagger, then flung it back towards the disguised assassin.

The killer did a backward somersault to avoid the knife, then took off running. Clearly, he had accepted Xiàtiān's advice and decided to flee.

"Actually, I forgot to tell you: even though fleeing is your best option, in my presence, there’s no escape for you," said Xiàtiān with a mischievous smile from right beside him. The killer felt his soul leaving his body; this was the first time he realized he had become another person's prey.acting, or even someone going into the underworld, no one in the Zhao family would stop them, although to my knowledge, there actually isn’t anyone in the Zhao family involved in the criminal world."A...
