Young girls might fall for that, but Lu Jing was no longer a girl of eighteen or nineteen.
Implied meaning: Stop talking.
"Oh, sure." The man responded with a smile.
Afterward, neither of them spoke, but the atmosphere at home was very harmonious, filled with pink bubbles.
After eating, the man took the initiative to clean up the dishes.
Seeing this, Lu Jing didn’t stop him, and quite contentedly went to her room to find clothes to change into for a shower.
Meanwhile, in the kitchen.
The man was moving quickly, wiping down the marble countertop, when his phone in his pocket rang.
He pulled out his phone with one hand, saw the caller ID, and answered directly:
"Is this Captain Jiang?"
"Can you come to the police station now? We need your help with something."
Jiang Ye checked the time but didn’t decline: Orıginal content can be found at N0veI.Fiɾe.net
"Okay, I’ll come right away."
"Alright, no need to rush."
These things were expected.
Recently, there might be a second, a third, or even more occasions.
After hanging up, he continued cleaning the remaining countertop and then swept with a broom.
After sweeping everything into the trash can, he turned the faucet back on and rinsed his hands.
Jiang Ye came out of the kitchen just as he saw the woman preparing to enter the bathroom with her change of clothes.
"Wife, I need to step out."
He voluntarily reported his whereabouts.
Lu Jing’s eyebrows raised slightly:
"Now? How long will you be gone?" she asked.
She normally wouldn’t inquire so much, but lately, she seemed to be getting fussier.
The man shook the water droplets off his hands, walked forward, pinched the woman’s cheek, and said affectionately:
"It won’t be long, wait for me."
Jiang Ye of course knew why.
Still left some shadows, huh!
Hearing what the man said, Lu Jing nodded:
"Then go ahead, don’t delay."
Lu Jing didn’t ask for more specifics.
After all, the man’s job was quite special, and there were many things, including those concerning his family, that couldn’t be disclosed to the public.
Though reluctant, Jiang Ye had to leave:
Lu Jing sighed deeply before entering the bathroom.
Meanwhile, Jiang Ye had already driven out of the fire department gate, speeding towards the police station.
It took just a few minutes to get there.
The car screeched to a halt and from a distance, he could already see someone waiting there.
Lao Bai, who had been smoking with his back turned, hurriedly turned around upon hearing the call:
With a slam, the car door was forcefully closed.
Jiang Ye walked towards Lao Bai:
"Is everything inside taken care of?"
"Yeah, you don’t need to go up."
Everything that needed to be communicated had been clearly explained; the rest was not their concern.
If worst comes to worst, they would just call a professional to handle it.
Hearing he didn’t need to go up, Jiang Ye was ready to head home.
But then, Lao Bai suddenly said in a grave tone:
"I’m going on a trip tomorrow, and it’s still early; while we have time, Old Jiang, let’s go see them."
Jiang Ye immediately pursed his lips but didn’t refuse:
"Alright, it’s time to visit."
The two men, resolute and without hesitation, agreed to go.
Soon, the car was on the move again.
On the road, Lao Bai had been scrolling through his phone when he suddenly asked:
