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

Ten minutes later, a pop-up window with the detailed address appeared. Lu Chenyuan almost immediately pushed open the car door and strode towards the apartment building.

Every second the elevator ascended felt like torture.

He leaned against the cold elevator wall, the heat and unease in his chest almost consuming him.

With a "ding-dong", the elevator doors opened.

He walked quickly to the corresponding door, paused for a moment with his fingertips hovering in mid-air, and then knocked hard on the door.

"Knock knock knock!"

The heavy knocking echoed in the quiet corridor, but there was no response for a long time.

Lu Chenyuan frowned and knocked harder several more times, but the door remained tightly shut.

Just as he was about to use his authority to contact the property management again, the door to the next room opened a crack.

An old woman peeked out, her curious gaze sweeping over his strong figure outlined by his black outfit before settling on his tense face.

"Are you looking for this young lady? She just left not long ago; it seems she went to have dinner with friends."

The old lady paused, then asked another question, her tone carrying a hint of neighborhood gossip.

"Young man, are you her boyfriend?"

Lu Chenyuan was stunned for a moment.

This name is both unfamiliar and jarring.

In the past, when Su Wan clung to him, she always looked forward to this relationship. At that time, he only felt annoyed and wished he could break it off immediately.

But now, when asked this by a stranger, he swallowed hard and, as if possessed, answered.

"Yes."

The old lady nodded knowingly, then muttered a few more words about how Su Wan looked when she left before closing the door.

The motion-activated lights in the corridor slowly went out, plunging the corridor into darkness.

Lu Chenyuan stood there, his fingertips still feeling the coolness of knocking on the door, but the anxiety in his heart grew wildly like weeds.

fifteen days.

He hadn't been in contact for fifteen days, which was the limit of what he could endure.

He had to see her tonight, he had to tell her what was on his mind, and he had to bring her back into his world.

He turned and left, his steps so fast they almost carried the wind, dialing the phone again as he hurried downstairs.

This time, he called an acquaintance in the relevant department responsible for monitoring and location tracking, his voice filled with barely suppressed urgency.

"Please find the real-time location of a phone number for me, immediately."

The person on the other end of the phone didn't dare to delay and quickly got to work.

A few minutes later, the location information came through.

When the words "Old Street Barbecue" came into view, Lu Chenyuan's heart clenched suddenly, and he gripped the steering wheel until it was burning hot.

That was the place where they first met, the place where he had coldly rejected her.

Without the slightest hesitation, the SUV engine roared, like a wild beast out of control, breaking through the night and speeding towards the old street.

The tires screeched against the ground, reflecting the surging anger and unease in Lu Chenyuan's eyes.

At the entrance of the old street, warm yellow neon signs flickered in the night, and the aroma of charcoal mixed with cumin wafted through the air.

Lu Chenyuan didn't get out of the car. He simply parked it in the shade of a tree at the alley entrance, rolled down the window, and his gaze, like a precise radar, instantly locked onto the figure at the table not far away.

It's Su Wan.

She was wearing a white tank top and hot pants, her long hair cascading down her back. She was chatting and laughing with Lin Weiwei and Xiaoxiao. The curve of her profile was gentle, and a light smile played on her lips. Her eyes revealed undisguised joy.

Lu Chenyuan's breathing became sluggish, his fingertips unconsciously tightened, gripping the steering wheel so tightly that his fingertips almost dug into the leather texture.

He sat in the car, his gaze never leaving her for a moment.

Watching her raise her hand to beckon the boss to add more food, watching her tilt her head back to drink beer with foam on the corner of her mouth, watching her eyes crinkle when she clinks glasses with Lin Weiwei, watching the bright charm that radiates from her eyes and brows when she is amused by her friends.

Midway through, Su Wan's phone rang. She picked it up, glanced at the screen, and got up to walk towards the alley entrance.

Lu Chenyuan's heart skipped a beat, and his grip on the steering wheel tightened involuntarily.

She stood less than two meters from his car, leaning against the wall while answering the phone. The evening breeze lifted her long hair, and a faint fragrance wafted in through the car window, sending shivers down his spine.

He could even clearly see her long eyelashes, the slight tilt of her chin as she spoke, and the perfectly timed smile on her lips.

Just as she turned her head to the side, her gaze unexpectedly met his.

Lu Chenyuan's breathing suddenly stopped, and his blood seemed to freeze at that moment.

He saw her gaze linger on his face for half a second.

Those eyes, once brimming with starlight and shining brilliantly when they looked at him, were now as calm as a stagnant pool.

There was no surprise, no ripples, not even the slightest emotional fluctuation.

It just swept lightly across his face, as if looking at an insignificant stranger.

Then she turned back and continued talking on the phone, her tone still light and playful, as if that glance she had just exchanged was nothing more than an accidental glimpse of a stone by the roadside.

Lu Chenyuan stood frozen in the car, feeling as if all the blood in his body had been drained in an instant, even his fingertips felt icy cold.

He couldn't believe it.

She clearly saw him.

How could she see him and remain so calm?

How can we treat him like he's invisible and ignore him?

His heart felt like it was being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, and a dense, overwhelming pain surged through him, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

Those past images flooded my mind uncontrollably—

She chased after him, calling him "Police Brother." With tears in her eyes, she said she liked him. She hugged him tightly and wouldn't let go. When she looked at him, her eyes always held an unyielding, burning passion.

But now, the way she looked at him was as cold as ice.

Just then, a man in a casual shirt walked around from one of the stalls and headed straight for Su Wan.

Lu Chenyuan's pupils suddenly contracted, and his murderous aura surged instantly. His hands gripping the steering wheel tightened abruptly, his knuckles turning frighteningly white, and his bones creaking and cracking.

The man smiled familiarly, patted Su Wan's shoulder, and said something in an intimate tone.

Su Wan turned her head to the side, a polite smile curving her lips, and replied with something that made the man chuckle.

That image was as glaring as a red-hot branding iron, burning fiercely into Lu Chenyuan's eyes.

Why is she smiling at other men?

Why should she let other men touch her shoulder?

A surge of violent emotion instantly swept over his body. Lu Chenyuan's hand slammed onto the car door handle, his fingertips turning blue from the force, and every muscle in his body seemed to be screaming to charge forward.

Rushing down, she broke the man's hand and dragged him away from Su Wan.

But just as he was about to forcefully push open the car door, Su Wan's cold gaze was like a bucket of ice water, extinguishing all his anger.

he can not.

He feared that if he rushed forward, he would completely ruin his last chance to win her back.

He feared that even her apparent indifference would turn into disgust.

Lu Chenyuan clenched his back teeth tightly, a faint taste of blood filling his mouth.

He abruptly released his grip and leaned back in his chair.

His chest heaved violently, and his back, beneath his black outfit, was taut and straight, like a bow about to break.

He watched as the man sat opposite Su Wan, watched him pick up her beer bottle, filled it for her, and watched him lean closer to her, whispering something that made Su Wan laugh, revealing two shallow dimples that were dazzlingly bright.

Every movement was like a poisoned knife, scraping at his heart.

His possessiveness grew wildly in his chest, a dense mix of love and resentment that almost burned away his reason.

But he could only endure it.

His gaze was fixed on Su Wan, his dark eyes churning with a frenzied impulse and painful restraint.
