What? You're a notorious bandit? What a coincidence, me too!

After a while, Wang Xinchen looked away, said a few words to the recorder, and then said to Lin Chang'an:

"We will verify what you've said. However, until we have verified it, you will need to cooperate with the investigation here."

"Okay, no problem, are you done asking?"

Lin Chang'an shrugged, looking at the woman's icy face, and said, "Xin Chen, it's been so long since we last met. Aren't we going to chat about something else?"

Wang Xinchen avoided the gaze of the recorder beside him, spat at him, and then said coldly:

"This is a workplace; we don't discuss personal matters here. Please look at the inquiry form. If there are no problems, sign your name and you can go back to the waiting room."

Lin Chang'an raised an eyebrow, casually took the notebook, and signed his name without even looking at it.

Wang Xinchen got up, opened the door, and gestured for him to leave.

Lin Chang'an walked past Wang Xinchen and suddenly stopped to look at her.

Wang Xinchen glared at him. Just then, Lin Chang'an leaned over and whispered something in her ear before immediately walking out.

The woman behind him blushed instantly, seething with hatred, and swung her fist at Lin Chang'an's back.

"rogue!"

……

As soon as Lin Chang'an returned to the interrogation room, he saw that Guo Xiaowu and the others had already returned and were huddled in a corner, chatting and laughing quietly.

"Chang'an, are you alright?" Guo Xiaowu immediately leaned forward when he saw him come in, his voice very low.

"What could possibly be wrong?" Lin Chang'an shrugged and sat down in his chair.

He looked out the window; it was getting dark, and the clock on the wall pointed to a little after six in the evening.

"Sigh, I wonder how much longer I'll have to wait."

Guo Xiaowu sat down next to him, rubbed his stomach, and looked miserable. "I ate some skewers and drank some alcohol at the barbecue stall this afternoon, and I'm starving now."

As soon as he said that, several people around him chimed in, "That's right, our stomachs have been growling for ages."

Guo Xiaowu shouted to the police officer on duty, "Sir, when can we leave? It's been two hours."

The police officer on duty merely glanced at her coldly and said in a deep voice, "Quiet down! Just wait, don't talk nonsense!"

Guo Xiaowu, feeling rebuffed, sullenly withdrew.

More than an hour later, the door to the interrogation room was pushed open.

A policeman walked in with a notebook and began reading out names: "...Guo Xiaowu, Li Xinghua, Du Ming...Lin Chang'an! You can leave now."

"Let's go!"

Guo Xiaowu's eyes lit up, and he immediately sprang to his feet, as if he had been injected with chicken blood. The others also cheered, as if they had won a battle.

The group followed the police to retrieve their phones, signed the necessary documents, and finally walked out of the police station.

"Chang'an, how about we find somewhere else to have a drink to calm our nerves?" Guo Xiaowu suggested, rubbing his hands together.

Forget it.

Lin Chang'an waved his hand, yawned, and said, "It's getting late, everyone should go back."

Guo Xiaowu and the others exchanged glances and nodded. Now they were completely under Lin Chang'an's command.

The group walked arm in arm toward the intersection. They had only taken a few steps when a car suddenly drove out of the police station compound and came to a steady stop next to Lin Chang'an.

Guo Xiaowu, with his sharp eyes, immediately spotted the person in the driver's seat, gave Lin Chang'an a wink, and said with a knowing look:

"Chang'an, we'll be going now!"

After saying that, without waiting for Lin Chang'an's response, he quickly left with the others.

At this moment, the car window rolled down, revealing Wang Xinchen's delicate face, but his expression remained indifferent.

Lin Chang'an saw clearly, leaned closer to the car window, grinned, and said with a hint of teasing, "Oh, policewoman, you're off duty?"

Wang Xinchen rolled her eyes at him, her tone unfriendly: "What did you mean by what you said to me at the interrogation room door just now?"

Lin Chang'an paused for a moment, then scratched his head, feigning ignorance, and laughed, "Why can't I tell the truth? I just wanted to say that you've gotten even better in all these years!"

Wang Xinchen was so angry at his shameless behavior that she gritted her teeth and spat, "You're such a scoundrel!"

After saying that, he rolled up the car window.

Lin Chang'an reacted quickly, pressing down on the car window to prevent her from rolling it up.

"No, you've just gotten off work. My motorcycle is still parked far away. Could you give me a ride?"

After saying that, without waiting for Wang Xinchen to refuse, he unlocked the door, opened the passenger door, plopped down in, and fastened his seatbelt.

"you!"

Wang Xinchen's chest heaved with anger as she glared at him, but there was nothing she could do.

"Let's go, your four-wheeler is faster than mine."

Seeing the woman's angry expression, Lin Chang'an said, "Besides, we're old acquaintances, what's wrong with giving her a ride?"

Wang Xinchen glared at him for a long time, but finally couldn't help but snort and ask in an annoyed tone:

"Where to?"

"I'll tell you the place."

Lin Chang'an casually took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, but was immediately interrupted by Wang Xinchen, whose tone was unfriendly:

"Don't smoke in my car."

Lin Chang'an paused, glanced at her fierce eyes, smiled, and tossed the cigarette he had just lit out the window.

Wang Xinchen snorted: "If you want to hit someone, get out of the car first."

After saying that, she started the car and drove away.

Lin Chang'an turned his head to look at Wang Xinchen's face. The light and shadow of the street lamp flowed across the woman's face, outlining her delicate jawline.

I haven't seen this woman for years, and she's become more and more feminine.

"Why are you staring at me like that?" Wang Xinchen suddenly glanced at Lin Chang'an, her tone unfriendly.

Lin Chang'an looked away and gave an awkward smile.

"Turn left ahead!"

Before long, the car arrived at Lao Yang's barbecue stall.

The barbecue stall had a few tables of customers and was quite lively, with the aroma of grilled meat filling the air.

Lin Chang'an pushed open the car door and got out. After taking a few steps, he turned around and leaned against the car window, saying to Wang Xinchen, who was about to turn around and leave:

"It's been so long! How about we grab something to eat? It's on you."

Wang Xinchen rolled her eyes at him, said nothing, stepped on the gas, and drove off.

It had only driven a few meters when it suddenly stopped, turned a corner, and parked against the wall by the roadside.

Lin Chang'an smiled, and then saw Wang Xinchen push open the car door and get out. Her face was still expressionless as she walked straight toward the barbecue stall.

"Thank you for the honor, Officer Wang."

Lin Chang'an smiled, narrowing his eyes, and snapped his fingers. "Let's go."

The two found a table against the wall and sat down.

Wang Xinchen took out tissues from her bag and began to carefully wipe the table and chairs until she was sure that everything in front of her was clean before she sat down.

"How come you're still so clean after all these years?" Lin Chang'an said with a smile, watching her actions.

"Mind your own business!"

Wang Xinchen glared at him, her tone still firm, but not as cold as before.
