On the Ark.

"I arrested the wrong person? How could I arrest the wrong person? Do you think I got this superintendent position through connections? Even if he's not a thief, he's definitely not a good person. How could a good person carry a sword on the street? Besides, this guy assaulted a police officer. What? Where was I assaulted? Didn't you see the big footprint on my clothes?"

"That thief looks a lot like me? How could he possibly look like me! Take me to see him."

Ten minutes later, after a noisy argument, Swire returned to her office and looked at Lin Ye with a somewhat unnatural expression.

"You really weren't the thief," Swire said. "My men caught that thief. I just went to check, but that guy was dressed completely differently from me! My clothes are from XXX, my backpack is from XXX, my boots are from XXX, my stockings... that guy was wearing nothing but cheap knock-offs! You couldn't even tell?!"

Lin Ye's lips twitched: "How the hell can you tell that?"

"Tsk, so stupid." Swire shook her head. "That's what you men are all about. But anyway, you did attack me, but since you didn't fight back afterward, I won't count it as assaulting a police officer. Tsk, so what kind of mess is this?"

Swire also seemed to be having a headache.

Lin Ye still didn't dare to speak much; it was his first time in the police station, and he was quite nervous.

“Alright, that’s fine then. You don’t need to write a self-criticism,” Swire said. “I’ll take your handcuffs off later, and then we can go to the clinic. I didn’t hit you too hard; you shouldn’t be injured.”

Lin Ye nodded; he was indeed not seriously injured. This could be because Swire had held back, or it could be due to his increased physical strength.

Soon, Swire found the key and unlocked Lin Ye's handcuffs.

But just then, the door to Swire's office was suddenly pushed open, and the two turned around to see Officer Chen, whose face was gloomy, walk in.

Snapped.

Chen slammed his hand on the desk, causing it to shake and crack.

"Hey, you gossip!" Swire snapped angrily. "What's wrong with you?!"

Swire and Chen are not of the same race. If Chen is a dragon-like being, then Swire is definitely a catgirl. She has a long yellow tail and a pair of cat ears. When she gets angry, her tail and cat ears stand up, as if her fur has stood on end.

"Swire!" Chen stared into Swire's eyes and said, enunciating each word clearly, "What on earth is wrong with you!?"

What do you mean I'm going crazy?

"Why are you spreading rumors about me?" Chen Zhi asked. "Did a donkey kick your head?"

“When did I spread rumors about you?” Swire was also very angry. “Don’t slander me out of thin air.”

"Ha, pretending to be ignorant, huh?"

"Where did I pretend to be ignorant?"

"Then please explain," Chen said through gritted teeth. "You just texted me saying you caught my lover, what do you mean by that?!"

Only then did Swire remember, and the anger on her face vanished instantly, replaced by a joyful expression of watching the spectacle.

“I’m not spreading rumors,” Swire said, shrugging. “It was that damn bastard… no, that good Samaritan who failed to do a good deed.”

Chen frowned, then turned around and saw Lin Ye looking embarrassed.

"Dr. Lin from Rhodes Island?" Chen clearly hadn't recognized Lin Ye earlier. "What are you doing here?"

"Oh, oh, oh, so you two really do know each other!" Swire exclaimed excitedly.

"Shut up, you char siu cat!"

"You gossip, who are you calling a char siu cat?!" Swire was furious again.

Soon, the endless arguments resumed, with Chen and Swire's voices echoing throughout the entire Guard Bureau.

……

……

Author's note: Six thousand words today, that counts as one update, I still owe thirty-three updates.

Chapter 151 Dragon and Tiger Fight

Lin Ye had no idea what he had done wrong. He had simply gone for a stroll out of boredom, and then encountered an unexpected incident and wanted to practice his skills as a Good Samaritan. Although the process and outcome were somewhat bumpy, his intentions were good. Yet, he was taken to the police station and subjected to a barrage of insults from two policewomen for almost twenty minutes.

At first, he could barely understand, but later he couldn't understand at all. What made him even more speechless was that the other members of the Guard Bureau seemed to be used to it, probably because these two big shots argued so frequently.

Finally, Chen gave up, rubbing his forehead and saying with a headache, "Forget it, forget it, you unreasonable guy, I'm not going to talk to you anymore."

Swire snorted coldly, crossed her arms, and turned her head away, looking like she didn't want to argue with her.

Chen looked at Lin Ye: "Dr. Lin Ye, right? What are you doing here?"

Lin Ye, relieved to finally have a chance to speak, said, "There was a little accident, no, a misunderstanding, and then Superintendent Swire brought me in."

"Misunderstanding?" Chen frowned, somewhat puzzled. "What misunderstanding do you have with the Lungmen Guard Bureau?"

Before Lin Ye could speak, a kind-hearted guard explained for him: "It seems that this gentleman touched Superintendent Swire's butt on the street, and then Superintendent Swire brought him back."

Upon hearing this, everyone present changed their expressions.

Lin Ye glared at the guard, thinking, "Does being a police officer mean you're not responsible for what you say?! I'm going to sue you for defamation!"

Chen's expression was quite interesting, first astonishment, then gradually turning into...joy? Just like Swire's expression when she heard Lin Ye say that she had slept with Chen.

Swire's face flushed red. Having finally managed to sit down and rest for a moment, she immediately jumped up and slammed her hands on the desk in front of her. The desk, having withstood Chen's slap and Swire's onslaught, collapsed with a series of cracking sounds. Documents scattered across the desk like falling snow.

"Damn you! My mahogany table!" Swire first let out a wail, then roared angrily, "You little bastard! How dare you spread rumors about me? Are you tired of living?!"

Like an angry tigress.

Swire called the Guards officer a "loser" and he looked aggrieved: "But didn't you just say that in the lobby?!"

"I'm telling you, you bastard!" Swire was almost furious. "Are your ears on XXX? You XXX?! He kicked my butt, not touched me... What the hell?! He kicked me in the back, my back!"

"Is that so? I must have misheard." The guard didn't dare to argue back. He grabbed the documents behind him and ran off. "I'm going to deliver the documents to Commander Hoshiguma. See you later, Superintendent Shi."

"Go back to see you, my foot! If I see you again, I'll kill you!" Swire shouted.

"Cough cough."

At this moment, Chen cleared her throat and put on a serious face, though it was a rather unsuccessful attempt at seriousness; anyone could tell she was trying hard to suppress a laugh.

“Superintendent Swire,” Chen said calmly, “as a senior superintendent of the Guard Bureau, don’t you think you should pay more attention to your image?”

Swire gritted her teeth: "You gossip, stop pretending with me!"

"So, Dr. Lin Ye didn't touch your butt?"

"Of course not!"

"That's fine then." Chen nodded, then looked at Lin Ye and said very seriously, "Dr. Lin Ye, since you didn't touch Superintendent Shi's butt, it doesn't constitute the crime of indecent assault. Superintendent Shi bringing you to the station violated the regulations of the Guard Bureau. Do you want to file a complaint against her? If so, you can contact me. I can hire the most professional lawyer for you free of charge and guarantee that Superintendent Shi will be removed from the police force."

"Chen Baba!" Swire's teeth were practically grinding to dust, and her green eyes seemed to be burning with flames.

“Superintendent Shi… no, I might be calling you Miss Shi soon,” Chen said calmly. “Is there anything else you want to say to me? If so, please do so as soon as possible, and don’t wait until after you leave the Guard Bureau.”

Lin Ye, listening from the side, felt extremely awkward. He felt like a tool, being used by the two women, a tigress and a tiger, to annoy each other. He wasn't stupid; he couldn't possibly agree with Chen's words—if he did, he'd probably never leave the Guard Bureau alive. But he really didn't want to keep watching the two argue; after all, he hadn't even had dinner yet.

So he tried to smooth things over: "It's all a misunderstanding. Actually, Officer Shi and I are very good friends."

"Who's your good friend?" Swire clearly wasn't going to take the opportunity Lin Ye offered and said irritably, "We just met!"

"Okay, we just met, but it was all a misunderstanding before."

"What misunderstanding? You assaulted a police officer, so I took you to the station. There's absolutely no misunderstanding!"

Swire glared at Lin Ye, clearly angered and categorizing him as an enemy, leaving Lin Ye speechless.

Chen chuckled, "It seems Miss Shi isn't very appreciative. By the way, Miss Shi, did you know that this Physician Lin Ye is Mr. Wei's guest?"

Swire gradually calmed down, then frowned: "Mr. Wei's guest? What do you mean?"

“This Dr. Lin Ye is one of the key figures on Rhodes Island,” Chen said. “He has an outstanding friendship with Mr. Wei and his daughter, Mu Yue. This is because Dr. Lin Ye has treated Mr. Wei’s… family.”

Swire was somewhat surprised: "There's such a thing? How come I didn't know?"

"It's hard for a sheltered young lady like you to know what's going on in the world," Chen replied casually.

"You gossipy old woman, you're always trying to mock me, aren't you?" Swire gritted her teeth.

"I'm just stating the facts to you."

"What facts? Whether he is Mr. Wei's guest or not is none of my business." Swire said coldly, arms crossed. "I respect Mr. Wei, but that doesn't mean I have to respect all of Mr. Wei's guests."

“You don’t need to respect all of Mr. Wei’s guests,” Chen nodded and said, “but I think you should respect your future superior.”

"Future superior? Gossip, what nonsense are you spouting now?"

Lin Ye looked at Chen with some surprise. Chen was quite similar to Kal'tsit in some ways, especially when he was talking nonsense with a straight face.

Chen ignored Lin Ye and looked at Swire, saying, "You should know that Lungmen and Rhodes Island have a partnership."

"So what if I know?"

“You know that Mr. Wei has decided to strengthen this cooperative relationship, right?” Chen Ye crossed his arms and looked at Swire with interest. “Mr. Wei must have spoken with you as well. Rhodes Island has representatives working in Lungmen, and Mr. Wei also hopes to send Lungmen personnel to Rhodes Island to deepen cooperation with Rhodes Island.”

At this moment, Swire finally understood something, and slowly opened her mouth wide: "You mean, the person Mr. Wei decided to send to Rhodes Island... is me?"

"Although it's not finalized yet, it's very likely," Chen said casually. "By the way, your family doesn't seem to be opposed to this; on the contrary, they seem to support it."

"Nonsense!" Swire snapped. "How could I not know such a thing?"

“Go back and ask your family, or ask Mr. Wei,” Chen said. “I was originally planning to tell you after I made a decision. I remember you participated in a psychology research club at school, right? Although it was just out of interest and you quit after the interest faded, that can still be considered as having some experience. As for whether your mind is normal or not, I don’t know.”

"You gossip! What are you trying to say?!" Swire couldn't take it anymore.

“What I’m trying to say is that Mr. Wei highly values ​​Dr. Lin Ye’s abilities and promised to help him recruit an assistant in Lungmen. Coincidentally, he’s also sending a member to Rhodes Island as an assistant, so there’s a high chance these two roles will be combined. In that case, if you end up joining Rhodes Island, Dr. Lin Ye next to you will be your superior.” Chen looked at Lin Ye and said seriously, “Dr. Lin Ye, this person next to you might be the assistant we recruit for you. She might not be entirely right-minded, but she’s still a person. But please don’t pity her just because she’s a woman.”

Lin Ye: "..."

"You old hag! You're going to die today!" Swire's furious roar echoed through the police station.

Chapter 152 Inspector Chen Invites You to Dinner

It was already evening when Lin Ye came out of the police station.

Chen and Swire argued for hours at the police station. Because they were evenly matched, whoever gained the upper hand was quickly overtaken by the other. In just a few hours, the Lungmen Guard Bureau had completely gotten to know Lin Ye.

I know he's a man who "slept with Inspector Chan" and "touched Swire's butt."

Lin Ye couldn't even imagine what would happen if these words got back to Rhodes Island. Wouldn't his lofty image in the eyes of operators like Nightingale, Ifrit, and Skadi be ruined? Lin Ye knew very well that rumors could kill, after all, he came from that information age.

Moreover, he realized today that there are definitely no fewer abnormal people in Lungmen than in Rhodes Island! Heaven knows why he always encounters such strange things no matter where he goes. Does he have a constitution that attracts psychopaths?

Lin Ye couldn't understand it, but he knew he had wasted his day like this, even though he hadn't even finished exploring the shopping street. Right, he had promised ACE he would buy him cigarettes, so he took out his phone to check the time and found that it wasn't too late, or rather, it should be right around night market time.

So I'd better go buy the cigarettes first, and hopefully the store is still open.
