Chapter 263 - 259: Dream Garden Bar
Seeing Ling Chen’s smug smile, Xia Mutong felt a surge of anger inside her but was helpless in the moment, as she couldn’t very well reprimand this bastard in front of all these people. Besides, it wasn’t certain she could best him in a fight.
Stomping her foot, she huffed and turned towards a corner. Ling Chen cracked a grin and quickly followed her steps.
"Officer Xia, don’t be angry, I just wanted to ask you a few questions."
"Cut the crap and talk," Xia Mutong said sternly, her face as cold as frost, keeping people at a vast distance.
Ling Chen didn’t beat around the bush and got straight to the point: "Officer Xia, I want to know if there’s been any progress on Shiyun’s case, whether you’ve caught the suspect or not."
Hearing him mention Tang Shiyun, for some reason, a nameless rage started bubbling up from the bottom of Xia Mutong’s heart, cursing inwardly, this bastard, to think he approached me for this, actually to ask about another woman, doesn’t he know to show some concern for me?
Pah, pah, pah! Her pretty face slightly flushed, who needs his concern anyway, what am I even thinking? This annoying bastard took my first time, I should hate him.
Noticing the change in her expression, Ling Chen looked at her puzzled and asked, "Officer Xia, are you alright?"
"Better than you anyhow," Xia Mutong retorted.
Ling Chen touched his nose, completely unconcerned about her attitude. This woman has been quite irritable and moody lately, probably time of the month. He was understanding, considering the special circumstances.
