Salina said happily.

After a pause, she added apologetically, "But if there's nothing else, you can go now. I still have a lot of documents to process, and I'm afraid it won't be finished until one or two in the morning. I don't have time to keep you company."

"It's okay, I'll stay with you!"

Lin Zhengyi gently shook his head and said, "I'll take you home when you're finished!"

As soon as these words came out!

"Really, it's not necessary!" Salena quickly replied.

"It's alright, that's fine!" Lin Zhengyi said forcefully before sitting down on the sofa.

They're acting like they won't leave unless you do!

See it!

Salena felt a warmth in her heart, but she couldn't say anything more. She could only accept the outcome.

Time flew by and it was already one o'clock.

After finishing her work, Shalena looked at the sofa where Lin Zhengyi was sitting.

But then they saw Lin Zhengyi propping his head up with his hand, his head drooping as if he were about to fall asleep.

All of a sudden!

She felt an indescribable sense of guilt.

I'm usually too busy with work to spend time with him, but even when he comes to see me, I don't have a single moment to chat or talk to him.

This time!

As Lin Zhengyi, feeling drowsy, lowered his head once again to adjust his posture, he subconsciously glanced in Shalena's direction and discovered that she had already finished her work.

He immediately came to his senses and said with a smile, "Finished? Let me take you home!"

"Ok!"

Upon hearing this, Salina could only suppress her guilt for the time being and nodded.

Later!

Lin Zhengyi drove Shalena home and naturally stayed overnight at her house.

“I’m going to take a shower, then let’s go to sleep!” Salena said.

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhengyi's eyes immediately lit up.

"Well, I suddenly realized that I haven't washed either. In order not to waste water, why don't we wash together?" Lin Zhengyi chuckled.

Wash together?

Upon hearing this, Salina immediately understood his thoughts.

"Are you afraid of wasting water? You clearly want to waste even more water! I don't even want to call you out on it!" She rolled her eyes and said.

Talking!

She went into the bathroom but didn't close the door.

Seeing this, Lin Zhengyi chuckled, rubbed his hands together, and followed closely behind.

A great battle was about to begin—

a long time!

Everything has finally calmed down.

Lin Zhengyi, who had somehow gotten to the bed, hugged Shalena and said, "Let's call it a day, or we'll make you late for work tomorrow."

"Actually, I'm still okay!" Salena said after a moment's hesitation.

She could clearly sense that Lin Zhengyi was still not satisfied.

I endured it just to take care of her health and not interfere with her work.

"Listen to me, don't be late for work tomorrow!" Lin Zhengyi gently stroked her head, speaking as if coaxing a child.

He was still not quite done, but considering that Salina was very busy during this time, he held back.

Hearing Lin Zhengyi's concerned words, and remembering how he had waited for her until he was almost asleep, Shalena fell silent.

After a long silence, she suddenly spoke, "You should find someone else later!"

"what?!"

Lin Zhengyi was taken aback for a moment, then couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean?"

Looking into his eyes, Sharena gently stroked his cheek and said tenderly, "I know I'm a career-oriented woman. I love working and want to build my own career. I don't have time to spend with you now, and I won't have much time to spend with you in the future!"

"So, if possible, I think you should find another girlfriend, no, several. With your abilities, you can't satisfy yourself with just a few. Let them keep you company and satisfy you in my place. This way, I won't miss work, and you'll have someone to keep you company."

As soon as these words came out!

Lin Zhengyi was completely stunned.

He couldn't help but exclaim, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

"That's not nonsense!"

Shalena shook her head, looked at him intently, and said, "Today, you stayed up with me until midnight, looking so sleepy, which broke my heart. You forced yourself to stay awake so I could go to work tomorrow, which made me feel like I'm not a good girlfriend!"

"That's why I had this idea!"

"Since I can't be with you or satisfy your needs, I'll let you find someone who can be with you and satisfy your needs. As long as you come to see me occasionally, I'll be satisfied."

Hearing this, Lin Zhengyi fell silent.

After a moment, he didn't say anything, but just hugged Salina even tighter.

Feeling the warmth of Lin Zhengyi's embrace, Shalena said nothing, but simply hugged Lin Zhengyi tightly in return.

that's it!

The two embraced silently.

-

The next day!

Shalena got up early and went to work, and Lin Zhengyi also arrived at the bureau shortly afterward.

After briefly handling the day's affairs and distributing tasks to each team, Lin Zhengyi, along with his team, went to a street in Tsim Sha Tsui to direct traffic and manage congestion.

Although he became the deputy head of the traffic enforcement and control group, he also served as the squad commander.

He is free to choose to refuse or accept duty assignments like this.

However, he had been sitting in the office for the past few days.

He felt a bit tired of sitting for the past two days, so after finishing his duties as deputy team leader, he chose to come out on duty today.

This time was different because Tian Yan had become the police chief and his deputy. So, the person sitting with him in the car with the air conditioning on was Tian Yan.

Zhou Xingxing and the newcomer Song Zijie each led their own teams to maintain traffic order.

"This looks good, let's give it a try!"

Tian Yan handed a bag of potato chips to Lin Zhengyi.

Lin Zhengyi opened a bottle of cola and handed it to Tian Yan.

And so, the two of them chatted and ate snacks in the car.

Just then!

A car sped past.

Lin Zhengyi didn't pay attention at first, but after the car drove past, it drove back and pointed its window at Lin Zhengyi.

immediately!

The window opened, and a familiar, lewd old face appeared in Lin Zhengyi's line of sight.

"Oh, it's my uncle!"

Lin Zhengyi looked at the familiar face and greeted him.

"Justice, are you living such a carefree life?" Cao Dahua said with a smile.

"That's all for the Traffic Enforcement and Control Group!" Lin Zhengyi shrugged and replied.

"Too!"

Cao Dahua nodded in agreement, then stretched out his hand and said, "Here, here, give me those potato chips!"

Immediately!

Lin Zhengyi handed over the potato chips and a bottle of cola, saying, "Have some cola with you, eating potato chips alone is too dry!"

"Ok!"

Cao Dahua agreed and, without being polite, picked up the Coke, opened it, and started drinking.

"By the way, what kind of mission are you guys going on?" Lin Zhengyi asked Cao Dahua curiously as he looked at him drinking cola.

Upon hearing this, Cao Dahua's face immediately turned bitter.

Chapter 140 Cao Dahua, Full of Resentment

"Don't mention it!"

Cao Dahua complained, “Recently, several women have gone missing in my jurisdiction, all at night and when it was raining. Now everyone is on edge. The higher-ups don’t care whether these women are really missing, dead, or anything else, they want us to get it sorted out within a week.”

"So I'm going to go to those women's workplaces and see if there are any clues or anything!"

night?

rain?

Missing?

When these words were put together, Lin Zhengyi had a vague feeling that they were somewhat familiar.

But he couldn't quite put his finger on what felt familiar.
