Chapter 933 - 925: A Very Important Matter
But the person in front of her, although very good-looking, had an identity that made things awkward. Besides, she was a cop, and as the saying goes, right and wrong don’t coexist. There was no possibility for development between them. Fang Yu quickly dismissed her thoughts.
It seemed like she really wanted a boyfriend, otherwise, she wouldn’t have let her imagination run wild despite him not doing anything. Once she got out of here, she should really find a boyfriend and stop being picky—just find someone who she found pleasing to the eye. She felt like her single status was becoming problematic.
Fang Yu suddenly remembered reading a news story about a girl looking for a job who was rejected during the final interview because she was single. Fang Yu found the story pretty amusing at the time. What did a person’s work ability have to do with having a boyfriend? That was blatant discrimination against single women!
Fang Yu considered herself lucky. Her job as a cop was deemed a high-risk occupation, which was not favorable for women. But when she decided to apply to the police academy, her parents didn’t oppose her. They just said, "Choose what you like, and as long as you’re happy, we’re at ease."
Moreover, during work, her colleagues and superiors didn’t doubt her capabilities just because she was a woman. All in all, she had been happy with her work over the years.
"Hang in there a bit longer, you’ll be able to leave by tonight," Liu Rui suddenly said, catching Fang Yu, who was lost in thought, by surprise.
"What did you say?" Fang Yu asked instinctively.
"I noticed you love daydreaming, huh? You’ve spaced out so many times in just an hour. What I said was that maybe you could leave by tonight," Liu Rui said impatiently.
Since the ropes were loosened slightly, Fang Yu felt more comfortable and slowly fell asleep as she sat. Liu Rui noticed there was no movement from Fang Yu and turned to find she had fallen asleep. This woman’s heart was really big; being a kidnapped hostage, she actually dared to sleep under the watchful eyes of her captor. He was unsure whether to attribute it to her excellent psychological resilience as a cop.
But Liu Rui was overthinking. Fang Yu had been busy day and night for Xiao Yifei’s case, barely getting any proper sleep. She was up before dawn searching for clues, and just finding the person who stole the surveillance tapes had been a huge effort for her and Tang Rong. And now, after this morning’s chaos, it was no wonder she’d fallen asleep!
Liu Rui thought about it and decided to drape a blanket over Fang Yu. He considered loosening the ropes on her hands but hesitated, fearing that if she woke up and untied them, it wouldn’t be fun anymore. After finishing, Liu Rui left the room.
At the room’s door, he whispered a few words to the two people standing there, who replied, "Boss, don’t worry, with us here, nothing will happen."
Meanwhile, after obtaining the USB drive, Tang Rong immediately hailed a taxi heading to the Police Department. She anxiously prayed nothing would go wrong; it was crucial the drive remained intact and not get lost—this could save Xiao Yifei’s life! She murmured prayers throughout the entire journey.
