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

Chen Yang looked at Li Ruoxue's face, which was almost ripe, and felt great.

This proud policewoman, the more shy she is, the more stubborn she becomes, and he just falls for it.

"It's settled then. I'll pick you up from downstairs at your place at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon." Chen Yang withdrew his hand and tidied her slightly disheveled hair. "Remember to wear a skirt, a short one."

Li Ruoxue was taken aback by his intimate gesture, and her heart skipped a beat.

She slapped his hand away and turned her face away.

"Okay, okay, stop nagging."

"Also," Chen Yang leaned down, whispered in her ear, "change your shoes too. Stop wearing sneakers. Your long legs look better in skirts and high heels."

The warm breath sprayed on her earlobe, and Li Ruoxue felt half of her body go numb.

Her ears turned red, and she shoved him hard. "Get lost!"

Chen Yang straightened up and waved to her with a smile. "See you tomorrow."

He turned and walked towards the parking lot, his back looking particularly tall and straight in the sunlight.

Li Ruoxue stood there, watching him get into the car, start the engine, and drive away, until the black Maybach completely disappeared around the street corner, before she finally let out a long sigh.

She raised her hand to touch her still burning cheeks, feeling both ashamed and annoyed.

"Li Ruoxue, you're finished." She muttered under her breath.

This man named Chen Yang is simply toxic.

Even though I know he's glib and frivolous, I just can't do anything about it.

They even said it was an "assault on a police officer"...

Thinking of the sudden kiss just now, Li Ruoxue's lips began to burn again.

She stomped her foot hard, turned around, and walked quickly towards her car.

No, I can't think about it anymore.

If she thought about it any longer, she would go crazy.

……

2:30 pm the next day.

Chen Yang arrived at Li Ruoxue's building ten minutes early.

He specially changed into a casual outfit today: a light gray shirt with the cuffs casually rolled up twice, revealing his muscular forearms, and dark slim-fit trousers. He looked clean and neat, with a touch of lazy handsomeness.

He leaned against the car, lit a cigarette, and looked up at the window of Li Ruoxue's house.

The curtains were drawn, so you couldn't see what was going on inside.

Chen Yang wasn't in a hurry and just waited patiently.

Halfway through his cigarette, he heard footsteps in the hallway.

It's light, yet clear, with a unique sense of rhythm.

Chen Yang stubbed out his cigarette and straightened up.

The door to the stairwell was pushed open, and Li Ruoxue came out.

Chen Yang's eyes lit up.

Today she wore a light blue floral dress, the hem of which fell just above her knees, revealing her two straight and slender white legs. On her feet were a pair of white strappy high-heeled sandals, which made her ankles appear delicate and fair.

Her neat short hair seemed to have been carefully styled today, lying smoothly behind her ears, revealing her fair neck and delicate earlobes.

She shed her usual heroic and capable demeanor, gaining a touch of feminine gentleness.

But his face was tense, and he looked extremely uncomfortable.

"Have you... seen enough?" Li Ruoxue walked to the car and saw Chen Yang looking her up and down. She couldn't help but ask, her voice tinged with nervousness.

"I can't get enough of her." Chen Yang answered honestly, and gentlemanly opened the car door. "Officer Li looks beautiful today."

Li Ruoxue rolled her eyes at him, then bent down and sat in the passenger seat.

Chen Yang walked around to the other side, got into the car, and started the engine.

The car slowly drove out of the residential area.

Li Ruoxue sat in the passenger seat, nervously tugging at her skirt, trying to lower it to cover more of her body.

Chen Yang watched this unfold and said with a smile, "Stop pulling, or it'll turn into a rag."

"Mind your own business!" Li Ruoxue glared at him. "Who told you to make me wear a skirt? It's so inconvenient."

"What's inconvenient about it?" Chen Yang raised an eyebrow. "I think it's quite convenient; the view is excellent."

Li Ruoxue didn't react at first, but when she understood what he meant, her face turned bright red.

"Chen Yang! You bastard!"

She raised her hand to hit him.

Chen Yang reacted quickly and grabbed her wrist.

"Stop fooling around, we're driving."

His palms were warm and dry, enveloping her slender wrists.

Li Ruoxue struggled twice but couldn't break free, so she had to give up.

But the temperature felt like it was burning her hand, making her panic.

Chen Yang released her hand and asked while driving, "Any new developments regarding the scarred man?"

Li Ruoxue composed herself and forced herself to shift her attention to her work.

"We still can't get Ah Biao to talk. He's very stubborn and has a strong sense of counter-surveillance."

She took a small notebook out of her bag and flipped through a few pages.

"However, we found some other clues."

"What clue?"

"Xu Tianjiao has been frequently visiting several high-end clubs in the west of the city recently, and he always goes there late at night and doesn't leave until the early hours of the morning."

Li Ruoxue paused for a moment, then continued, "Most importantly, we found that he owns a yacht registered under an offshore company. That company is the shell company that Lao Gui often uses for transferring funds."

Chen Yang raised an eyebrow. "So, the transaction was most likely conducted through that yacht?"

"That's possible," Li Ruoxue nodded. "But we can't get the yacht's navigation records right now; we'll need to apply for international assistance."

"By the time the international investigation is completed, it will be too late," Chen Yang shook his head.

"That's why I need your help." Li Ruoxue glanced at him. "That guy, Lao Gui, is elusive. We police have been keeping an eye on him several times, but he always manages to slip away."

"Let's go check out Night Never Ends tonight," Chen Yang said, turning the steering wheel and the car onto another road.

"The night is not yet over?" Li Ruoxue was taken aback. "Go now?"

"What else?" Chen Yang smiled. "Doesn't Old Ghost go three or four times a month? Today is the end of the month, maybe we'll run into him."

Looking at his confident demeanor, Li Ruoxue felt inexplicably at ease.

This man seems to be able to solve anything.

……

Night Never Ends Bar is located on an old street in the west of the city. From the outside, it is inconspicuous and even a bit dilapidated.

But Chen Yang knew that such places often held things that couldn't be found outside.

After the two got out of the car, Chen Yang naturally reached out to hold Li Ruoxue's hand.

Li Ruoxue instinctively tried to dodge, but he held her tightly.

"Don't move, we're a couple now," Chen Yang said in a low voice. "Have you ever seen two strangers come to a bar late at night?"

Li Ruoxue thought it made sense, so she had no choice but to let him lead her.

The warmth from her palm made her heart beat even faster.

Pushing open the heavy wooden door of the bar, a burst of loud music and voices rushed out.

The room was dimly lit and filled with smoke. On stage, a female singer was performing a languid jazz song.

Chen Yang put his arm around Li Ruoxue's waist, walked through the crowd, and found a corner to sit down.

"What would you like to drink?" he asked.

"Whatever." Li Ruoxue shifted her body somewhat uncomfortably.

Chen Yang waved to the waiter and ordered two cocktails.

His gaze swept across the bar, seemingly casually, but in reality, he was observing everyone.

Old Ghost didn't come.

But there's no rush; these kinds of people usually don't show up until late at night.

The wine was served quickly.

Chen Yang pushed one of the glasses in front of Li Ruoxue. "Try it, it's a special drink here, it tastes pretty good."

Li Ruoxue picked up the cup, took a sip, and her eyes lit up slightly. "It's quite delicious."

"I'm glad you like it." Chen Yang smiled and took a sip as well.

The music in the bar changed, and the rhythm became more relaxed.

Li Ruoxue sat for a while and gradually relaxed.

She leaned back on the sofa, watching the figures swaying to the music on the dance floor, and suddenly spoke: "Chen Yang."

"Um?"

"Did you... come to places like this often before?"

Chen Yang thought about it.

"Occasionally, I'll come and sit for a while when I need to take care of some things."

"What are you dealing with?" Li Ruoxue asked curiously.

"For example..." Chen Yang deliberately dragged out the words, "to find someone, or to have some fun."

Li Ruoxue frowned. "What kind of fun are you looking for?"

Chen Yang turned his head and looked at her intently.

"Like right now, having a drink and chatting with a beautiful policewoman in dim lighting."

Li Ruoxue's face turned red again.

"Can't you...can you be serious for once?!"

"I'm being very serious," Chen Yang said innocently. "Don't you think Officer Li finds this quite romantic?"

Li Ruoxue turned her face away, refusing to look at him.

But the barely suppressed smile at the corner of her mouth betrayed her true feelings.

The two chatted casually, and time passed by unnoticed.

The bar became increasingly crowded, and the atmosphere grew more and more lively.

On stage, the female singer changed to a faster song, and the people in the dance floor began to twist their bodies wildly.

Chen Yang glanced at his watch; it was already eleven o'clock.

He picked up his glass and swirled it gently. "Old Ghost should be here soon."

Li Ruoxue nodded and cheered herself up.

Just then, her gaze suddenly froze.

"Chen Yang, look over there." She lowered her voice and gestured with her chin toward the door.

Chen Yang followed her gaze.

A middle-aged man wearing a black leather jacket was seen pushing open the door and walking into the bar.

He was thin and unremarkable in appearance, but his eyes were exceptionally sharp, constantly scanning the crowd.

It was the old ghost in the photo.

Chen Yang's lips curled slightly. "They're here."

He put down his glass and stood up.

"What are you going to do?" Li Ruoxue also stood up.

"Go and meet him," Chen Yang said with a smile. "You wait for me in your seat."

"No, I'll go with you." Li Ruoxue grabbed his hand. "It's too dangerous for you to go alone."

Chen Yang looked down at her hand that was gripping his, then looked up at her eyes, which were filled with worry.

"Okay, let's go together." He took her hand in his, "But stay close to me."

Li Ruoxue nodded, and the two walked together in the direction where the old ghost was.

Old Ghost was walking towards the bar, seemingly to order drinks.

Chen Yang quickened his pace and patted him on the shoulder from behind.

Old Ghost turned around and looked at Chen Yang with some confusion.

"Hey buddy, what's up?"

Chen Yang smiled, leaned close to his ear, and whispered something.

Old Ghost's expression changed instantly.

He instinctively took a step back, watching Chen Yang warily.

“Who…who are you?”

Chen Yang didn't answer, but instead took something out of his pocket and waved it in front of him.

After the old ghost saw the thing clearly, his pupils suddenly contracted.

"Come with me, let's talk." Chen Yang turned and left.

Old Ghost hesitated for two seconds, but still followed.

Li Ruoxue quickly followed Chen Yang, her mind filled with doubts.

What exactly did Chen Yang say just now? What did he show him? Why did Old Ghost suddenly become so obedient?

The three of them made their way through the crowded people to a quiet corridor behind the bar.

Chen Yang stopped and turned around.

Old Ghost stood two meters away, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty.

"What exactly do you want?" he asked in a deep voice.

Chen Yang smiled and pulled Li Ruoxue to his side.

"Don't be nervous, I'm just here to ask a few questions."

His gaze was fixed on the old ghost, his tone calm, yet carrying an undeniable pressure.

"When are Xu Tianjiao's shipments planned to be shipped out to sea?"
