Intelligence updates daily; I achieve sainthood in the martial arts of the public service.

On the surface, Shen Xin's words were praising Tu Yuan.

But Tu Yuan heard it in a completely different way.

This guy was indirectly telling Ruan Xueqing about the difference in their social status.

Moreover, his manner of speaking carried a certain air of authority.

It was as if he were praising Tu Yuan from the perspective of a leader.

Tu Yuan looked at Shen Xin's somewhat affected and hypocritical smile.

He felt a deep disgust in his heart, but showed no sign of it on his face.

"Deputy Director Shen is joking!"

"I'm just temporarily running errands for Director Zhang."

Ruan Xueqing, who was standing to the side, also realized that Shen Xin's words were a veiled criticism of Tu Yuan.

She glanced at Shen Xin indifferently.

Then there was a ripping sound!

Shen Xin's right leather shoe suddenly split open at the toe.

It looks like the shoes are of poor quality and have come unglued and cracked.

This sudden turn of events surprised even Tu Yuan.

Tu Yuan immediately looked at Ruan Xueqing, who gave him a sly smile.

He gently scratched Tu Yuan's palm with his finger.

Tu Yuan felt a warm sensation in his heart as he felt the tingling sensation in his palm.

He understood that Ruan Xueqing was standing up for him.

This also demonstrates her attitude towards Shen Xin.

At this moment, Shen Xin looked down at his shoes, his face quite grim.

The upper of his right shoe had completely separated from the sole.

His toes, which were wearing black socks, were almost completely exposed.

It should be noted that the leather shoes he was wearing were not cheap; he had bought them for 4,300 federal dollars at the largest shopping mall in Donghua State City.

He never expected that the leather shoes he bought for so much money would be of such poor quality!

And to make matters worse, a problem occurred at this particular time.

He made such a fool of himself in front of Ruan Xueqing.

"Deputy Director Shen, there's a shoe repair shop on the street that turns left about 150 meters ahead."

"I won't take up any more of your time, I'll be going now."

As Tu Yuan spoke, he grabbed Ruan Xueqing and they ran away.

In order to prevent Shen Xin from realizing what was happening and becoming angry.

Shen Xin looked at the stares of the people coming and going around him, his face grim.

He took off his shoes and walked on the ground in his socks.

Watching Tu Yuan pull Ruan Xueqing away into the distance, Shen Xin's breathing became heavier.

"Chief Shen!"

"I know where that shoe repair shop is. I'll take you there."

Shen Xin glared at Lin Zhuxin.

That stupid woman, she always brings up the very thing she shouldn't have said!

After looking at Ruan Xueqing, he looked at Lin Zhuxin again, even though Lin Zhuxin was wearing a uniform at the time.

He also felt a sense of boredom.

"Why bother repairing these cheap leather shoes?!"

"I have other things to do today, so I won't be going to the Shengyun Hotel. You can go home by yourself."

Shen Xin spoke impatiently as he took off his left leather shoe as well.

Walk directly to the trash can on the sidewalk and throw your shoes into it.

Then, without looking back, he walked towards the gray-silver sedan he had parked diagonally across the road.

Lin Zhuxin was left alone at the entrance of the police station, bewildered in the wind.

On the other side, Tu Yuan and Ruan Xueqing had already walked for a while.

With a smile on his face, Tu Yuan held Ruan Xueqing's hand as they walked on the sidewalk.

"Qingqing! You're really brave!"

"He is a martial artist after all. If he is discovered on the spot, he will definitely cause trouble."

Ruan Xueqing gave a soft snort:

"So what if they found it!"

"So what if he causes trouble? He can't beat me anyway."

"I just can't stand the way he treats you."

"Back when we were at Dongzhou University, this guy somehow found my mom's contact information and came to visit her."

"As a result, my mother had someone investigate him and found out some of the scumbag things he did at Dongzhou University."

"He didn't give him a friendly look at all, and told me to stay away from him, saying he wasn't a good person."

"They also said his father was corrupt and would get into trouble sooner or later."

"I just never expected that this guy would be assigned to the Zhenghe Police Station, where you are, as the deputy director."

"Just seeing him brings me bad luck!"

Ruan Xueqing made no attempt to hide her disgust for Shen Xin in her words.

She is a very smart girl.

She knew that even if Tu Yuan didn't care about Shen Xin's pursuit of her, she would still be in a difficult situation.

She also needs to make her attitude towards Shen Xin clear.

She told Tu Yuan about her mother's attitude towards Shen Xin in order to put Tu Yuan at ease.

In short, we must make Tu Yuan feel completely safe!

Tu Yuan and Ruan Xueqing chatted and laughed all the way, then walked to the bus stop and took a bus to the vicinity of Shengyun No. 3 Middle School.

The full name of Shengyun No. 3 Middle School is Shengyun Third Senior High School.

Five years ago, it was still the best high school in Shengyun City.

However, the top high school in Shengyun City is no longer Shengyun No. 3 High School.

It is actually the Dongda Affiliated Middle School in Jinshun District, Shengyun City.

Even though the top spot has changed hands, Shengyun No. 3 Middle School remains a long-established and strong school in Shengyun City.

It was already past the afternoon dismissal time at Shengyun No. 3 Middle School, and it was almost time for evening self-study.

On the street near the main gate of Shengyun No. 3 Middle School, many students wearing black and white school uniforms have already appeared.

Looking at these students on the street, so spirited and full of youthful energy.

Tu Yuan was filled with emotion.

The shops on the street in front of Shengyun No. 3 Middle School are mostly catering to students.

Snack shops, dessert shops, trinkets shops, bookstores, school supply stores, and restaurants of all kinds, including spicy hot pot, wontons, and noodles.

As Tu Yuan and Ruan Xueqing walked here, they felt as if they had returned to their student days.

Students in school uniforms around them couldn't help but glance at the two of them.

Tu Yuan could even hear several girls in school uniforms, holding milk tea, discussing him from four or five meters away.

"He's so handsome!"

"His girlfriend is so pretty! She makes me feel inferior!"

"Xiao Lian, are you starting to fall for someone? If this handsome guy were a martial artist, you could become his concubine! Hehehe!"

"I think you're just saying what you really think! Hahahaha!"

The girls giggled and occasionally stole a glance at Tu Yuan before quickly looking away.

It seemed that this way they wouldn't let Tu Yuan notice their gaze.

Ruan Xueqing, who was standing nearby, also overheard the girls' discussion. Mimicking their tone, her eyes lit up with admiration as she looked at Tu Yuan and said:

"He's so handsome!"

"Hehehe!"

She laughed at her own tone after she finished speaking.

Tu Yuan immediately followed suit, mimicking the tone of those girls.

"His girlfriend is so pretty! She makes me feel inferior!"

When Ruan Xueqing heard the words "girlfriend," her pretty face flushed slightly, and even her ears seemed to turn red.

She raised her head slightly to meet Tu Yuan's gaze.

His eyes were bright and full of meaning.

"Is she your girlfriend?"

Tu Yuan looked at Ruan Xueqing's expectant eyes.

Then he took Ruan Xueqing's hand and placed it between their bodies.

He could even feel the pulse at Ruan Xueqing's wrist quickening.

"So you're willing?"

Ruan Xueqing didn't answer, but her ears turned even redder.

Then he grabbed Tu Yuan's hand and headed towards Chunhua Restaurant.

"Let's go! I'm starving!"

As the two walked away, a gentle breeze blew.

The fallen leaves beneath the tree where the two had just stood seemed to be stirred by an invisible force, eventually forming three characters on the ground.
