A man trying to seduce the police captain: Captain Lu, you're doomed!

"It's been so long since I danced! Back in school, I was a key member of the talent shows!"

Su Wan stuck out her tongue, her tone charming and smug, completely back to her old self.

"What's wrong with jumping a couple of times? Besides, I'm so good-looking, wouldn't it be a waste if I didn't jump a little to satisfy your cravings? I have to show off my skills every now and then!"

She spoke with such conviction, and the light in her eyes was astonishing.

Seeing her carefree attitude, Lin Weiwei finally felt relieved.

It seems that Su Wan has truly moved on.

This carefree attitude of being able to take things in stride certainly didn't disappoint her.

But only Su Wan herself knew that the faint scar in her heart had not completely healed.

She's just too good at pretending, good at using liveliness and laughter to cover up those hidden pains she doesn't want to touch.

Choosing to come all this way for a late-night snack is surely a form of escapism.

It took half an hour to drive from the city center to reach this area that is close to an urban village.

This place severed all possibilities of her meeting Lu Chenyuan, allowing her to temporarily let down her guard.

However, with a population of over two million, even the urban villages in Seoul are bustling with activity.

The night market stalls are lined up one after another.

Shouts, clinking glasses, and laughter mingled together.

The air was filled with the warmth and life of everyday life.

Su Wan sat down and picked up a skewer of freshly grilled beef tongue.

Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, sprinkled with cumin and chili powder, the rich, oily flavor instantly dispels much of the gloom in one's heart.

She believes time will solve everything.

Holding an ice-cold beer mug in her left hand and a barbecue grill in her right, she listened to her girlfriends' banter and never stopped smiling.

"Wanwan, you've really failed before you even got started!"

My short-haired best friend Xiaoxiao slapped the table and burst into laughter.

"She hasn't even finished a third of her journey to win over her husband, and she's already gotten herself all bruised and battered. Unbelievable!"

"Haha, that's right!"

Lily, the bespectacled, academically gifted best friend, pushed up her glasses and smiled in agreement.

"A beauty like Su Wan has had men lining up to pursue her from the company to her doorstep, yet she fell for Lu Chenyuan and suffered a truly devastating fall! Now that I think about it, what else did that man have besides his looks and physique?"

"And a cold attitude and violent tendencies!"

Another friend, Qianqian, wearing a red dress, raised her beer glass and said indignantly.

"This guy who pushes women doesn't deserve our Wanwan! The sooner we give up on him, the better!"

"Yes! The sooner we give up, the sooner we're free! Cheers to Su Wan's new beginning and regained freedom!"

Lin Weiwei was the first to stand up, raise her glass, and look at him with sincere blessings in her eyes.

"Cheers!"

Ten women raised their glasses together, the beer glasses clinking together with a crisp sound, their smiles full of support and encouragement for their best friends.

After drinking the ice-cold beer, Su Wan felt refreshed all over.

It was as if all the grievances and resentment were swallowed down with this glass of wine.

Just as they were clinking glasses in a lively atmosphere, a commotion suddenly broke out not far away, accompanied by the sounds of tables and chairs being moved and men shouting and cursing.

Immediately afterwards, the noise grew louder and louder, disrupting the harmony of the night market stalls.

The surrounding diners all stopped eating and curiously peered inside.

"Beep-beep-beep"

The piercing sound of police sirens cut through the night, growing louder as they approached, and the sharp noise quieted the entire night market stalls.

Soon, several police cars pulled up in front of the night market stalls, their red and blue lights illuminating the entire area.

Among the police cars, a black SUV stood out—

With its sharp, flowing lines and jet-black paint, it looked incredibly valuable, standing out starkly against the surrounding police cars and bustling night market stalls.

"Wow! That's a limited edition Mercedes-Benz G-Class AMG, right? It must cost several million!"

Yangyang, a car enthusiast, stared wide-eyed and exclaimed in amazement.

"What kind of person can afford a car like that? Judging by the entourage, he looks like a policeman?"

"Police officers driving such expensive cars? Is this for real?" someone asked doubtfully.

"What are they doing here? We run our late-night food stall lawfully, and our customers are all here for a late-night snack. What's there to arrest?"

A diner at the next table couldn't help but ask, his tone tinged with nervousness.

"You wouldn't know that, would you?"

A girl at the next table, dressed in work clothes and who worked in sales all year round, lowered her voice and said mysteriously.

"This urban village is a melting pot of all sorts of people, a den of iniquity and filth. It's commonly known as a 'chicken coop,' and the legendary 'Heartbreak Village' is right here! Many people come here for late-night snacks, but actually, it's all for the 'all-inclusive' services they offer later!"

"Haha, got it!"

Everyone immediately understood and started joking around.

"These cops aren't here to arrest people at the late-night food stall, they're clearly here to raid prostitution! Looks like they've hit some leads tonight and are going to take them all down!"

"Oh, I see!"

After hearing the explanation, the surrounding diners breathed a sigh of relief and lowered their heads to continue eating their barbecue.

His gaze would occasionally drift towards the police, with a hint of curiosity as he watched the spectacle.

But Su Wan's heart clenched suddenly at that moment.

It felt like being gripped by an invisible hand, making it difficult to breathe.

That black SUV... belongs to Lu Chenyuan.

She won't admit her mistake.

The unique car model, the familiar license plate number, and the vague figure in the driver's seat... all told her that Lu Chenyuan had arrived.

Why is he here?

Countless thoughts flashed through Su Wan's mind in an instant.

After they parted ways at the hospital, shouldn't he have gone to pick up Lin Man, or gone home to sleep, or gone back to the police station to handle his work?

Why would they come to an urban village to crack down on prostitution?

Isn't the duty of the captain of a criminal investigation team to investigate murder cases and solve major cases?

Why are they out cracking down on prostitution?

Could it be that the people below can't handle it and need their help?

"Damn it! What bad luck!"

Just as Su Wan was filled with doubt, a rude curse suddenly came from the next table.

Two sleazy-looking men suddenly stood up.

One was short and stout, the other tall and thin; both had expressions of impatience and frustration on their faces, and they hadn't even touched the barbecue on the table.

"I came here for a late-night snack, planning to have some fun afterwards, but these cops are so annoying!"

The short, fat man cursed and swore, spitting as he spoke.

"They swept from the city center all the way to the urban villages, it was a complete annihilation! That's him, see him? The one in the SUV, what's his name again, Lu Chenyuan, the captain of the criminal investigation team! Instead of properly investigating his murder case, he's out here raiding prostitution! He's just ruining my fun!"

"Alright, alright, stop yelling!"

The tall, thin man tugged at his arm, a hint of panic on his face.

"They raided all the famous hideouts in Seoul today. Looks like they're done for! If we don't leave now, we'll be in trouble if they target us!"

The two paid amidst their cursing and swearing, then hurriedly left the night market stall, their steps frantic, and quickly disappeared into the night.
