Doctor will never die in a hellish situation.

"Help! A police car hit someone! I don't care, you're responsible for my accommodation and food until I recover!" Qin Duanyu took the opportunity to lie on the hood of the car and shouted.

"Pfft... You've got some nerve trying to scam a cop! Fine, just for tonight. I'm warning you, don't mess around!" Chen was both amused and annoyed, and opened the car door to let him in.

Well, it's just out of consideration for my partner. I can't let him sleep on the streets, can I? That would be a disgrace to Lungmen. Besides, I can't beat this bastard. What if he gets angry and tries to force me?

Chen comforted himself with this thought as he drove Qin Duanyu home.

Chapter 46, Section 228: The Underwear Thief

Not long after, the police car stopped in front of a residential area.

The environment here is similar to the accommodations arranged by Lao Wei when I was seconded to the Guard Bureau. Although the security is not comparable to the villas of the wealthy and powerful in the inner city, the police patrols are far more frequent than in the slums. It is the best place for the middle class in Lungmen to live.

"Recently, the regulations in Longmen have become much stricter than before, and even finding a hotel is not as convenient as it used to be," Qin Duanyu said with a shrug.

"Yes, we captured a lot of infected people sent by the Reunion Movement a while ago. Even though they suddenly disappeared recently, we haven't let our guard down and have taken a lot of new preventative measures." Chen nodded and said vaguely, "Come in. That sofa is pretty big. Hoshiguma sometimes sleeps on it. It shouldn't be a problem for you."

Qin Duanyu's lips twitched. Seeing the several large holes poked in the sofa armrest by sharp corners, she could imagine how bad Xing Sir's sleeping posture was.

The so-called measures include requiring foreign travelers to register with the Guard Bureau and obtain a special accommodation permit before hotels will accept them. This resulted in Qin Duanyu having Lungmen coins but being unable to find a place to sleep.

You should know that even those shady hotels that cost tens of Lungmen dollars a night are monitored by the Rat King, who controls the underground forces. His rules are more ruthless than Lungmen's laws, and nobody wants to experience the underwater private room.

It's the middle of the night, I can't exactly call Lao Wei just for this little thing, can I?

"Thank you for your help. Actually, I originally wanted to find Xiao Ma. We were all set, but it seems he had something come up at the last minute. He said the rich woman he was dating had assigned him a task, so he couldn't take me in." Qin Duanyu sighed and followed her into the house.

After escaping Rhode Island, finding accommodation became the biggest problem.

Penguin Logistics is out of the question; Texas and Exusiai have probably already received the news and are just waiting for him to walk into their trap. Joel and Ferdinand are married and obviously not suitable guests.

The only suitable person, Machidiel, changed her mind at the last minute. Helpless, Qin Duanyu even shamelessly called Hoshiguma, only to find that Sister Gui was out drinking with someone. She just pointed to a random place and told him to wait, and then there was no news from her.

He was probably completely drunk and didn't care about him at all.

Swire, on the other hand, was forced into this situation. Sleeping in that unscrupulous capitalist's house for one night meant that Qin Duanyu might be exploited to extract even more value from him. She didn't want to willingly walk into the lion's den.

Just when he was at his wit's end, he encountered Chen on patrol at the location Hoshiguma had mentioned.

What a coincidence!

After listening to Qin Duanyu's words, Chen raised his eyebrows. With this guy's abilities, it would be no problem for him to handle Machider, Joel, and Ferdinand, but Hoshiguma didn't seem like someone who could be easily bought off.

unless……

"Here's a blanket, you can spread it on the sofa yourself. I'm going to take a shower first!" Chen seemed to have thought of something, took a clean blanket from the closet and threw it to Qin Duanyu, then carried Chi Xiao and Deng Long into the bathroom, not forgetting to cast a threatening look at them at the end.

Although he didn't think he could beat her, if Qin Duanyu really went berserk and rushed into the bathroom to do whatever she wanted, he would have to put up a symbolic resistance, wouldn't he? Surrendering without a fight was not Chen's style.

She locked the bathroom door from the inside, turned the showerhead to its maximum setting, and a light mist swirled in the room, accompanied by a soft, gurgling sound.

"Hoshiguma, I'll give you 30 seconds to explain what happened tonight, or you can expect to have your office stained with blood tomorrow!" Chen didn't immediately take off her clothes, but instead used the sound of water as cover to dial her best friend's phone number and shouted in a low voice.

"Oh, so it's already after the fact? That doctor's not doing so well, and I even recommended he take so many highly nutritious foods... hiccup!" Hoshiguma hiccuped and teased.

"What nonsense are you spouting? We just got home!" Chen nearly crushed his phone, raising his voice in frustration. "And this whole thing, you really orchestrated it!?"

"As your best friend, this is all I can do to help you. It's a great opportunity to get your PhD; it's up to you to seize it." Hoshiguma said, and hung up the phone amidst shouts of "Stop raising fish!" and "Keep drinking!"

Chen closed his phone and let out a long sigh.

Indeed, there are no coincidences in this world; everything is the inevitable result of careful planning.

Hoshiguma gets drunk?

What a big joke!

That was the infamous drinker who took down most of the Sentinel Bureau back in the day; probably only the most capable drinkers from Ursus could rival her.

It's true what they say: no matter how much you guard against it, it's hard to guard against a thief within your

As for Qin Duanyu, Chen initially had some doubts, but now he completely believes that he was framed.

After all, during the previous incident where Shattered Bones attacked Lungmen, it was clear to everyone that Misha had serious problems, but Qin Duanyu did not investigate further and instead entrusted Misha to her with complete trust.

Later, Misha was kidnapped by W, and at the cost of an elite operator being seriously injured in an explosion. Qin Duanyu did not blame Chen at all. Instead, she immediately asked if Misha was injured and even captured Shattered Bones to rescue Misha, which was equivalent to fixing Misha's mess.

It can only be said that Qin Duanyu is too much of a team player and trusts her teammates too much.

The thought of how many more times he might have to use Qin Duanyu in the future filled Chen with guilt, but it also lessened his shyness about having a woman stay at his home.

Fine, I'll let him stay for one night, just to repay a favor I owed him before.

Chen took off his clothes and walked under the showerhead, trying to wash away his chaotic thoughts with the running water.

……

On the other side, Qin Duanyu had already made the bed and was looking around Chen's house with great interest.

The room was very tidy, unlike the simple and plain style he had imagined that a strong woman would like. Instead, it was no different from that of an ordinary girl, with all kinds of trendy appliances and furniture, as well as dolls and plush toys full of girlish charm.

The calendar hanging on the wall is marked with items such as "watching a movie" and "going to XX restaurant for dinner," which shows that all time is allocated reasonably. While ensuring work, various personal hobbies are not neglected, which is a very fulfilling lifestyle.

"It wasn't for nothing that I deliberately jumped into the pit. Seeing Chen He's different side is worth the price of admission." Qin Duanyu smiled and sat back down on the sofa.

In fact, he had already seen the problem, but the thoughtful older sister Hoshiguma had arranged things properly so that he could legitimately sleep under the same roof as Chen. Why did he still have to forcibly expose the fact that he had to make do with the night at Xiao Ma's house?

Seeing through things but not saying them is also a kind of wisdom in life.

Not long after, Chen came out of the bathroom, drying her long, wet hair.

She wore a light pink bathrobe, her beautiful figure hidden under the loose fabric, with only her fair and shapely calves and the faint cleavage of her chest showing.

It seems that Chen Sir's current state is similar to being in some special environment in outer space, which we generally call true... However, the two swords she is holding in her arms are no less effective than the Ice Heart Technique, allowing Qin Duanyu to control herself very well.

The suppression mode cooldown hasn't finished yet. Chen could probably take on ten of him with one hand. It's best to behave yourself for now.

"As a swordsman, it's common sense to always have your sword with you. I even sleep with them!" Noticing Qin Duanyu's strange gaze, Chen casually explained, then went into the bedroom to dry his hair, saying without turning around, "You should go take a shower too, don't get my sofa and blankets dirty!"

Qin Duanyu nodded, picked up the toiletries she had bought on the way, and walked towards the bathroom.

After escaping Rhodes Island by hiding from the girls, he was indeed exhausted and needed a good shower to relieve his fatigue.

Oh no, my underwear is still inside... After drying her hair, Chen gasped.

My mind was a bit muddled just now, and I completely forgot to take out the dirty clothes.

It wasn't a problem when I lived alone, but now there's an adult male living there.

She had caught several perverts stealing girls' underwear before, and recalling the scenes in those guys' rooms now made her feel disgusted. Who knows if the bastard in the bathroom might have similar fetishes?

After much deliberation and hesitation, she took out the key to the bathroom door lock, intending to steal her underwear back before Qin Duanyu did anything perverted.

Pshaw, taking your own clothes, can that be called stealing?

Chapter 47, Section 229: Chen pounces, all I need is a sliding tackle.

Click!

With a crisp sound, the bathroom door was carefully pushed open.

Officer Chen, who had apprehended countless notorious thieves, never imagined that one day she would act like a clumsy little thief, sneaking around and stealing what was rightfully hers from her own home.

In the swirling mist, Qin Duanyu's figure was faintly visible in the cubicle. His black uniform, shirt, and trousers were all neatly folded and placed next to the sink, with a protective face shield on top of them.

In other words, if you're really unlucky and run into Qin Duanyu, he'll at most only have a pair of underwear... If he really goes berserk and pounces on you, you won't even have to take off your coat; he'll be all clean and ready to deliver himself to your door.

Chen Yinyin regretted it a little. If things continued to develop like this, she would rather wait until tomorrow and throw away that set of black lace underwear. Could a police superintendent not afford to buy new underwear?

But having come all this way, she was unwilling to go back empty-handed.

"I love taking baths, my skin feels so good, oh my gosh~"

The wailing and howling of a singer came from behind the curtain. It seemed that someone was still engrossed in their personal concert. In the projection, his hands were rubbing his head, probably washing his hair, and his eyes were closed so he couldn't see anything.

good chance!

The scene before him put Chen at ease. He tiptoed to the bathroom, trying to recall where he had put his underwear. He opened the waterproof door a crack and swiftly reached his hand inside.

NICE!

Upon feeling the fabric against his fingertips, Chen excitedly grabbed it and pulled it out, only to discover that it was a pair of men's boxer briefs.

Ugh... She curled her lip in disgust, almost dropping what she was holding. She took a few deep breaths to calm herself down and decided to wash her hands thoroughly later, until they were peeling.

Unexpectedly, a faint sandalwood scent filled my nostrils, and it smelled surprisingly pleasant.

Damn it, what am I thinking... Why do I have such outrageous thoughts... I'm making myself look like a lingerie thief. Chen shook his head, suppressing any more gentlemanly or daring actions, and prepared to put the things back.

Meanwhile, Qin Duanyu, who was in the shower, had already rinsed the foam off her hair and reached out to feel for the shower gel. To her surprise, she touched a small hand.

"ah!"

The girl's exclamation came from outside. He opened his eyes in surprise and saw that his underwear had been taken away by that person, who also took all the shower gel and shampoo from the shelf next to him and knocked them to the ground, making a series of crisp sounds.

What's going on? Someone actually broke into the home of the head of the special inspection team, and into a secluded place like the bathroom, to steal a man's underwear? Just how perverted is this?!

"Chen Sir... Help! A thief has broken into your house..." Helpless, Qin Duanyu took out a bath towel to wrap her lower body, shouted loudly to Officer Long in the living room, and rushed out while lifting the curtain.

These days, not only do you have to wear a helmet when fishing, but you also have to have a god-like perspective the whole time you take a shower?

"Chen Sir, help... You... It's you? What are you trying to do? Underwear thief?" Qin Duanyu covered her chest with both hands and cried out in fear.

Police Officer Long was standing there, holding his underwear, looking completely bewildered.

……

Chen had imagined what that bastard looked like countless times in private, and even some vague images had appeared in her dreams. Now, she finally got her wish and saw what was hidden under the mask.

His hair was as black as satin, his skin as smooth as cream, his face as fair as jade, his eyebrows as sharp as stars, and his figure as upright as a bamboo. He looked gentle and wise, yet he also had a special kind of approachability. He gave people the feeling of being a sunny, cheerful, gentle, and considerate older brother next door, which was completely different from the effeminate pretty boy who was just a freeloader.

Even with a hint of fear on his face, it didn't detract from his overall beauty at all; instead, it gave him an indescribable charm that stirred a woman's hidden protective instincts. If one had to nitpick, it would probably be the gruesome scar on his chest near his heart that ruined his perfect image.

Yes, it looks similar to what she dreamed of, but much clearer and more detailed. You could even say it's more beautiful and suits her taste better; it's practically grown according to her aesthetic standards.

But what good is it if it looks nice?

With Qin Duanyu looking like this, doesn't that further confirm the fact that she is the pervert who steals underwear?

A high-ranking superintendent and senior inspector of the Lungmen Police Department actually stole the underwear of a business ally while staying overnight, and was caught red-handed by the person involved. This will probably be on the front page of major newspapers tomorrow morning.
