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

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Chen Yang quickly withdrew his hand from Qin Xue's waist.

He turned around, looked at Li Ruoxue, who was dressed in a smart uniform, rubbed his hands together, and went to greet her with a smile.

"Ruoxue, my darling, you've wronged me."

"Miss Qin was just frightened by that hairless ugly monster. As a member of the public, in the spirit of helping others, I would like to offer some humanitarian comfort to the victim."

Li Ruoxue crossed her arms, snorted coldly, and looked past Chen Yang, landing on Qin Xue.

As a woman herself, she could tell at a glance that Qin Xue's gaze towards Chen Yang was a little strange.

It was the demeanor of a young girl, tinged with dependence and lingering fear.

"The humanitarian reassurances have all been absorbed into our hearts."

"I think your spirit of helping others is quite noble. Should I award you a banner for your act of bravery and hang it at the Qin family's gate to commend you?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Xue's cheeks flushed, and she quickly stepped out from behind the rock.

She tidied her messy hair and regained the demeanor of a wealthy heiress.

"Captain Li, you've misunderstood. Chen Yang just risked his life to save me. I just lost my composure for a moment."

"However, I still want to thank Captain Li for rushing over in the middle of the night. I'll have to trouble you to deal with the monster's corpse."

The two beautiful women's eyes met in mid-air, and an indescribable tension filled the air.

Chen Yang, sandwiched in the middle, felt that the night breeze was quite refreshing.

He quickly moved closer to Li Ruoxue and pointed to the monster's corpse on the ground to change the subject.

"This thing is no ordinary creature; even bullets can't penetrate its skin. It must be a mutated creature created by Black Feather."

"There are more than a dozen corpses in the front yard of the old house. The leader was Wang Shao Cong, the son of the vice president of Jiangcheng Chamber of Commerce. They were all eaten by this thing as a midnight snack."

After hearing these words, Li Ruoxue's expression turned serious.

She turned and waved to a young SWAT officer behind her.

"Zhang Hao, take some men to the front yard to cordon off the scene. Contact the forensic and biochemical treatment teams and take the monster's body back for detailed testing."

"Keep the news under wraps; we absolutely cannot let this get out and cause panic."

Zhang Hao saluted and immediately led his men to get to work.

After arranging everything, Li Ruoxue twirled the car keys in her hand and looked at Chen Yang.

"Alright, great hero, let's go. I'll personally drive you back."

"Miss Qin, you can't stay at this old house tonight. Where do you plan to go?"

Qin Xue bit her lip and glanced at Chen Yang.

"Let's go to the Peninsula Hotel in the city center; I have my private room there year-round."

Li Ruoxue walked to her black police SUV and opened the driver's side door.

Just as Chen Yang was about to shamelessly reach for the passenger door, Li Ruoxue glared at him and stopped him.

"Go to the back and keep your Miss Qin company. She's been frightened and needs some emotional support. The passenger seat is for your work partner."

Chen Yang touched his nose, sheepishly opened the back door, and got in.

Qin Xue was already seated inside, the two of them squeezed side by side in the spacious back seat.

The train doors closed, and the carriage was so quiet you could hear someone breathing.

The SUV drove smoothly on the winding mountain road, the interior of which was dark and unlit.

Li Ruoxue focused intently on driving, her eyes fixed on the road ahead.

Qin Xue, sitting in the back, clasped her hands on her lap, her body occasionally leaning towards Chen Yang as the vehicle jolted.

Chen Yang smelled the pleasant perfume on Qin Xue and thought to himself that this job was pretty good.

He lowered his voice and tried to get closer to Qin Xue.

"Miss Qin, do you still stand by what you said on the mountain?"

"I've risked my life for this, even my policewoman wife is jealous, so you'd better double the appearance fee."

Li Ruoxue, who was driving in the front seat, glared at Chen Yang in the rearview mirror.

"Chen Yang, if you keep spouting nonsense, believe me, I'll just leave you on the mountain road right now and make you walk back by yourself."

"Who's your wife? Don't ruin my reputation."

Upon hearing Li Ruoxue's denial, Qin Xue's lips curled up slightly, and she felt much better.

She turned her head and looked at Chen Yang's profile, her voice very soft.

"Don't worry, just name your price, and I'll have someone deliver the check to you tomorrow."

"No matter what, you saved me twice, and I, Qin Xue, will remember this kindness for the rest of my life."

"From now on, as long as the Qin family has food to eat in Jiangcheng, you will be included."

Chen Yang leaned back in his seat, crossed his legs, and put his hands behind his head.

"Talking about money is so vulgar. If you really want to repay me, why don't you lend me your vacant villa in the city for a few days?"

"My villa on the hillside has been a bit crowded lately, and I'd like to move to a quieter place to change my mood."

Without hesitation, Qin Xue pulled a black room key from her bag and stuffed it into Chen Yang's pocket.

"This is the access card for Villa No. 1 in Yunshui Bay. All the household items inside are new, and you can move in anytime."

"The password is my birthday, you..."

Qin Xue blushed again as she spoke, realizing that she had never told Chen Yang her birthday.

"The password is 960825, right?"

Chen Yang chuckled and continued the conversation.

Qin Xue looked at him in surprise, and even Li Ruoxue in the front row perked up her ears.

How did you know my birthday?

Chen Yang proudly raised his chin.

"What's so difficult about that? Just now at the old house, your second uncle had your identity information written in black and white on the share transfer agreement he had in his hand."

"I don't have any other special skills, but I have a good memory, and remembering information about beautiful women is my forte."

The SUV stopped at a traffic light intersection.

Li Ruoxue gripped the steering wheel harder, her knuckles turning white.

That bastard, flirting with girls so blatantly right in front of me!

"The light's green, Officer Li. Focus on driving, don't get distracted."

Undeterred, Chen Yang tapped the back of the seat in front of him twice.

More than half an hour later, the black SUV came to a steady stop in front of the Peninsula Hotel’s revolving door.

Qin Xue pushed open the car door and got out of the car, then bent down and looked at Chen Yang through the car window.

"Thank you for tonight. Go home and get some rest."

"If you're free tomorrow, I'd like to invite you to dinner at the revolving restaurant on the top floor of this hotel, is that alright?"

Chen Yang gave an OK sign and smiled broadly.

"No problem, if a beautiful woman invites me to dinner, I'll go even if it's raining knives."

Qin Xue smiled slightly, then nodded past Chen Yang to Li Ruoxue in the driver's seat.

"Captain Li, thank you for your hard work, driving Chen Yang in the middle of the night."

"I'll invite you for tea another time when I have time."

Li Ruoxue gave a forced, insincere smile.

"You're welcome. Serving the people is our duty as police officers."

"Miss Qin should get some rest. After all, you've been through so much fright; it's best not to let it leave you with any psychological trauma."

Qin Xue straightened up and walked into the hotel lobby in her high heels.

Chen Yang only turned his head back out of the car window after her figure had completely disappeared from sight.

Before he could even sit down properly, Li Ruoxue shifted into reverse and stepped on the gas.

The car lurched backward suddenly, and Chen Yang, caught off guard, slammed his head directly into the front seat.

"Oh my god, you're trying to murder your husband!"

Chen Yang covered his head and quickly climbed from the back seat to the passenger seat.

He fastened his seatbelt while glancing at Li Ruoxue, who had a stern face beside him.

"Why are you driving so fast? Are you in a hurry to be reincarnated?"

Li Ruoxue stared straight ahead, ignoring him completely, and drove the car out of the city towards a secluded riverside avenue.

It's the middle of the night, and there's not a soul in sight on the riverside avenue.

The car was so quiet that the only sound was the roar of the engine.

As Chen Yang looked at the increasingly dark scenery outside, he felt that the atmosphere was somewhat subtle.

He tilted his head and stared at Li Ruoxue's cold and exquisite profile.

It has to be said that this policewoman in uniform has a special charm, especially when she's angry; that sense of restraint is almost enough to make you want to commit a crime.

"Why are you so quiet now? You were quite talkative just now."

"They're talking about birthday codes and Yunshuiwan Villas, they're having a lively chat."

Li Ruoxue parked the car at a temporary stop by the river, turned off the engine, and turned to look coldly at Chen Yang.

Chen Yang unbuckled his seatbelt and moved closer to Li Ruoxue.

The space inside the carriage wasn't large to begin with, and when he got so close, their breaths were practically hitting each other's faces.

"I can smell this sourness from three blocks away."

"What's wrong? Is our mighty Captain Li jealous?"

Chen Yang reached out and hooked Li Ruoxue's chin.

Li Ruoxue slapped his hand away and moved her body away from the car door.

"Stop trying to glorify yourself, or I'll get jealous."

"I just think you're a very unreliable person. You flirt with every girl you meet and you have no bottom line."

"Just now on the phone you were calling me 'wife' so affectionately, and now you're clinging to another woman. Don't you feel disgusted?"

Chen Yang wasn't angry at all; instead, he laughed even harder.

He simply turned to the side, placed one hand on the back of Li Ruoxue's chair, and wrapped her up in his arms.

"How can this be called nausea? I was enduring humiliation for the sake of the case, okay?"

"Besides, I called for my wife on the phone because the situation was urgent and I wanted you to bring people to the rescue as soon as possible."

"But in my heart, you, this thorny policewoman, are much more interesting than those delicate young ladies."

"At least your car fire extinguishing technique is something that others can't learn."

The moment the words "firefighting" were mentioned, Li Ruoxue's face flushed red to her ears.

Last time in this car, Chen Yang used acting as an excuse to half-force her to do something that was too shameful to talk about.

Looking back now, she feels like her face was so hot she could fry an egg on it.

"Shut up, or I'll throw you out of the car and feed you to the fish."

Li Ruoxue warned through gritted teeth, but her voice had lost its previous force and instead revealed a girlish shyness.

Seeing her hypocritical expression, Chen Yang felt a sudden urge to tease her.

Instead of shutting up, he moved his face even closer, so close that he could see the fine hairs on Li Ruoxue's face.

He could even smell the unique body odor of Li Ruoxue, which was mixed with the scent of mint.

"It's such a waste to throw it in to feed the fish, can you bear to do that?"

"A lone man and woman stranded in this desolate place in the middle of the night, don't you think we should revisit the plot from last time?"

Chen Yang's voice became somewhat deep, carrying an indescribable allure.

Li Ruoxue's heart began to race, and she found that she couldn't get angry at all.

Looking into Chen Yang's eyes, which were so close to hers, she looked away in a fluster.

"Chen Yang, be serious, don't push your luck."

"We haven't investigated that monster yet, and we haven't figured out Kuroba's background. Can you please stop having such vulgar thoughts on your mind?"

Chen Yang extended a finger and gently scratched Li Ruoxue's pert nose.

"A case is a case, and life is life. This is called a balance between work and rest, you know?"

"You came out to save me in the middle of the night, if I don't treat you well, it would seem like I'm being too inconsiderate."

"So, Officer Li, are you going to arrest me now, or do you want to conduct some special interrogation?"

Li Ruoxue was both amused and annoyed by his antics, and finally couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

That smile was like a gentle spring breeze, instantly dispelling all the jealousy and anger from before.

"You just take advantage of the fact that I can't beat you, and you shamelessly bully me all day long."

Li Ruoxue gave him a coquettish glare and poked his chest twice with her finger.

Just as Chen Yang was about to take advantage of the situation and put his arm around her waist.

Li Ruoxue stopped smiling and became serious.

"Chen Yang, tell me honestly, how far have things progressed between you and Qin Xue?"
