Awakening the Phoenix Flow System after the breakup, I'm so happy!

Chen Yang couldn't help but laugh out loud at Qin Xue's awkward invitation.

He reached out and flicked Qin Xue's smooth forehead.

"I say, Miss Qin, your capitalist calculations are really too shrewd."

"I just risked my life to save you from a hail of bullets, and before I even had a sip of water, you're already eager to turn me into your employee."

"They have absolutely no human touch."

Qin Xue covered her forehead, which had been flicked red, and glared at him angrily.

"Who's plotting against you? I just saw that you're skilled and wanted to offer you a stable, high-paying job, is that not allowed?"

"Besides, what kind of human touch do you want? I already said at the hospital that you can name your terms."

Chen Yang dragged over a mahogany chair and sat down with an air of authority.

"Being a bodyguard is so boring. You have to work in the sun and rain and take bullets for your boss. That's a job for manual laborers."

"If I become your bodyguard, you'll still boss me around, which would really damage the revolutionary friendship we've just built up."

Qin Xue was so angry at his twisted logic that she didn't know what to say.

"So what exactly do you want? You can't expect me to take such a big advantage of you for nothing."

Chen Yang moved closer and examined Qin Xue's pretty face, which was flushed from anger.

"Forget about bodyguards. If you really feel bad about it, why don't you consider letting me be your husband?"

"If we combine our assets like this, what's yours will be mine, and what's mine will be yours. Neither of us will lose out."

Qin Xue's cheeks flushed red all the way to her ears.

"You're dreaming. Stop talking nonsense in the middle of the night. Who wants to be your wife?"

"Hey, even if a deal falls through, we can still be friendly. Why are you being so fierce?"

Chen Yang leaned back in his chair with a grin.

"Since Miss Qin is not willing, let's talk about business first. We need to find someone to clean up this mess on the ground."

Qin Xue looked at the people lying haphazardly on the ground.

"I've already called the police, they should be here soon."

Chen Yang shook his head.

"This is something that ordinary police can't handle. That guy named A-Qiang is carrying real weapons."

"Moreover, it involves forces like Kuroba, so we need to find the right person to take over."

Qin Xue was somewhat puzzled.

"The right person? You have connections at the police station?"

Chen Yang didn't answer her. He simply took out his phone from his pocket and skillfully dialed a number.

It was already late at night, and the phone rang for a long time before it was finally answered.

"Chen Yang, are you sick? Can't you let people sleep in the middle of the night?"

On the other end of the phone came Li Ruoxue's sleepy, complaining voice, mixed with a hint of annoyance at being disturbed.

Chen Yang switched the phone to his other ear, speaking in an extremely gentle tone.

"Ruoxue, my dear, why are you so angry? Is it because it's too cold to sleep alone?"

Hearing Chen Yang's cloying way of addressing her, Qin Xue, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but prick up her ears.

A sour feeling welled up inside me for no reason.

Ruoxue Baby?

How can this guy be so frivolous with every woman he sees?

Just a moment ago she was clamoring to be my husband, and now she's calling me so affectionately on the phone.

He's a complete scumbag.

Qin Xue bit her lower lip, kicking her toes at the broken pieces of wood on the ground, and continued to eavesdrop.

Li Ruoxue on the other end of the phone was clearly wide awake after Chen Yang called her "baby".

"Don't yell at me. Who's your baby? You haven't called me in so long. What's wrong with calling you in the middle of the night? Spit it out."

Although her tone was still fierce, it was noticeably more coquettish than before.

Chen Yang not only didn't restrain himself, but instead went even further.

"How can you say I'm going crazy? I just miss you."

"The long night is here, and I can't sleep. My mind is filled with the scene in the car that night."

"Officer Li's cooking skills are still unforgettable to think about now."

There was a two-second silence on the other end of the phone, followed by Li Ruoxue's low, angry and embarrassed voice.

"Chen Yang, are you trying to get yourself killed?!"

"You called me in the middle of the night just to say these vulgar things, huh? I'm hanging up!"

"No, no, no, don't hang up yet."

Chen Yang quickly spoke up to stop him.

"I haven't heard you call me yet. You promised me last time outside the warehouse."

Li Ruoxue stammered on the phone.

"I don't remember what I promised you. Get to the point, or I'm really hanging up."

Chen Yang sighed, putting on a wronged expression.

"Fine, policewoman, you've turned your back on me. Looks like all my tenderness has been wasted."

"I was originally planning to give you a big reward for your meritorious service, but since you don't like me that much, I'll just find someone else to claim the reward."

Upon hearing that there was a case, Li Ruoxue's professional instincts immediately kicked in.

"What kind of big gift package? Have you gotten into trouble again?"

"Just tell me if you want to make a contribution or not."

Chen Yang slowly whetted her appetite.

Li Ruoxue was so anxious that she gritted her teeth, but she couldn't do anything about this scoundrel.

"Fine, I give up. What do you want me to shout?"

Chen Yang gave Qin Xue a provocative look and drawled out his words into the phone.

"Call me 'husband' and let me hear it. If you call me that nicely, I'll tell you all the clues."

Qin Xue stared wide-eyed at Chen Yang's shameless behavior.

She felt like she was about to explode with anger.

This bastard not only flirted with me, but he also brazenly asked other women to call him "husband."

Do you think you're invisible?

Li Ruoxue remained silent for a long while on the other end of the phone.

After a long while, a whisper as faint as a mosquito's buzz could be heard.

"Husband...husband."

The voice was soft and sweet, with a hint of reluctance, but mostly shyness, which made Chen Yang feel weak all over.

"That's right, my good wife, you'll be very rewarded when we get back."

After Chen Yang finished teasing her to his heart's content, he cleared his throat and dropped his nonchalant tone.

"Okay, enough joking around, let's get serious."

"You bring your people right now to the Qin family's old residence halfway up the mountain in the eastern suburbs."

Upon hearing the address, Li Ruoxue's tone immediately became serious.

"The Qin family's old residence? What are you doing there? What happened?"

Chen Yang leaned back in his chair, looking at the mess in his study.

"Do you remember the Black Feather organization we encountered at the abandoned docks?"

"They've resurfaced, this time targeting the Qin family in Jiangcheng."

Li Ruoxue gasped over the phone.

"Black Feather's men infiltrated the Qin family? Are you injured?"

"With my skills, how could I possibly get hurt? But the Qin family has run into some trouble."

Chen Yang kicked Qin Wenzheng, who had fainted beside him.

"Qin Wenzheng, the second master of the Qin family, somehow got involved with the Black Feathers and accepted a poisoned antique from them, which almost killed his own father, Old Master Qin."

"Just now, he and a group of armed men cornered me and Miss Qin in the study, intending to eliminate us completely."

I heard a rustling sound of someone getting dressed on the other end of the phone.

Li Ruoxue's tone completely transformed into that of a decisive and efficient policewoman.

"Is the scene under control? Where are the killers?"

"They're all lying on the ground fast asleep. There are eight of them in total, and seven Black Star pistols. We've kept them all as evidence for you."

Chen Yang paused.

"By the way, bring more men to block the mountain roads before we come. Black Feather snipers also showed up near the hospital tonight. I suspect they have a backup plan."

"Okay, I'll take the SWAT team over there right away. You protect yourself and the scene, and don't move around."

After giving her instructions, Li Ruoxue hurriedly hung up the phone.

Chen Yang put his phone in his pocket and looked up to meet Qin Xue's resentful gaze.

"Oh, Miss Qin, why are you looking at me like that, like you want to eat me alive?"

Chen Yang stretched and pretended to be stupid.

Qin Xue walked up to him and looked down at him.

"Who was that woman who called you 'husband' just now?"

Qin Xue herself didn't realize how sour her tone was when she asked that question.

It's like a wife who's caught her husband cheating and is questioning him.

Chen Yang grinned.

"You're being way too nosy. Didn't you just say you didn't want to be my wife? Why are you checking up on me now?"

Qin Xue choked for a moment, her face turning bright red.

"I didn't check up on you. I just think you're a very unreliable person."

"He's here sweet-talking me while he's having affairs with other women outside."

Chen Yang stood up and deliberately took a step forward.

The distance between the two suddenly closed, and Qin Xue instinctively took a step back.

"How can I call this ambiguous? He's a proper criminal investigation captain, after all. He used his charm to get us out of there as soon as possible."

"Listen to how sweetly they call you, and look at you, you're like a block of wood."

Chen Yang pursed his lips.

"If I had known Miss Qin was so jealous, I should have dragged you over here to join in the fun."

Qin Xue stomped her feet in anger.

"Who's jealous of you? Stop flattering yourself. I just don't want to owe you a favor."

"Once this matter is over, I will give you every penny of the reward you are owed. From now on, you go your way and I'll go mine."

Chen Yang found Qin Xue's stubbornness quite amusing.

This heiress has been putting on airs for too long; a little teasing and she's back to her true colors, like a cat with its fur standing on end.

Chen Yang lazily reached out and pinched Qin Xue's cheek.

A delicate touch spreads across your fingertips.

"Alright, stop being so hypocritical. The police won't be here for a while."

"This room is full of smelly men, it's an eyesore. Let's find a quieter place to stay."

Qin Xue slapped away Chen Yang's mischievous hand and rubbed her cheek, which had been pinched red.

"Where are you going? Although you defeated my second uncle's men, who knows if there are other spies in the house?"

Chen Yang grabbed her wrist and led her out of the study.

"Isn't this old house your Qin family's territory? Don't you know how safe it is?"

Qin Xue felt the warmth on her wrist, struggled a couple of times but couldn't break free, so she simply let him hold her hand.

"There's a room in the backyard where I used to live. No one goes in except for Zhang Ma, who's in charge of cleaning. It's very safe."

"Oh? Miss Qin's boudoir?"

Chen Yang drawled out his words, his tone full of ill intent.

Qin Xue stopped in her tracks, wary.

"Why are you asking this? I'm warning you, don't get any funny ideas. Just sit in the yard and wait for the police."

Chen Yang turned around and winked at her.

"Bringing a grown man to your bedroom in the middle of the night, who would believe you don't have some ulterior motive?"

"But since you've been so frightened today, I'll reluctantly go inside with you to hide for a while."

Qin Xue was almost defeated by this guy's shamelessness.

He was the one who insisted on changing places, but now it's become his fault.

Before Qin Xue could refute, a muffled roar of a car engine suddenly came from the direction of the front yard of the old house.

Judging from the sounds, at least three or four cars had forced their way through the Qin family's gate.

Chen Yang stopped and pulled Qin Xue behind him, looking up at the front yard.

"Oh dear, it seems our plan for a lone man and woman to be alone in a room won't be going to work out."

Qin Xue nervously gripped Chen Yang's arm.

"Are they reinforcements for my second uncle?"

Chen Yang shook his head, his ears twitching twice.

"This kind of fleet of diesel G-Class engines isn't the kind of fleet that businessmen like your Qin family would use."

"Miss Qin, do you know any friends who like driving these kinds of SUVs?"

Qin Xue thought for a moment, her face turning pale.

"I don't know him, but I've heard of him."

She looked up at Chen Yang.

"Some gangsters like to travel with a convoy of black Mercedes-Benz G-Class cars."
