"From now on, we're friends. Don't be afraid. No matter what happens from today onwards, I'll help you. If anything bad happens to me, you have to help me too! That's what friends are for! Hehe, we won't break up, right!"

"But what if Xiaota finds someone she likes in the future? Won't she leave me too? If she can't be with the person she likes, she'll end up like Mom and... that man, unable to be happy no matter what."

“In that case, let’s pick one that Huijie likes too, so the three of us can live together and we won’t have to be separated anymore. It will definitely not be like Mom and that man.”

Chen, whose consciousness was somewhat hazy, heard the innocent and childlike conversation echoing in her ears. She naturally remembered that it was an ordinary conversation with the silver-haired dragon girl more than 20 years ago.

But later, the so-called agreement became empty talk.

The two stood on opposite sides of the steel jungle. She tried to reach the silver-haired dragon girl, but Wei Yanwu held her hand tightly. Several men in black raincoats blocked their way, looking at the silver-haired dragon girl and the tall, thin man holding her hand as if facing a formidable enemy.

"Superintendent Chan, wake up!"

"Save her!"

"Rice Noodle Dragon, what kind of strange dream are you having?"

"...Let me through!"

"*Longmen swear words*, I don't have time to waste a whole day with you!"

Whoosh!

The icy liquid splashed onto Chen's face, and the sudden stimulation brought her back to consciousness, causing her to jump up from the sofa with a start.

"It's you? Where are the others?" Looking at the angry-looking girl in front of him, Chen skipped the pleasantries and showed concern.

"Look at your pathetic face, it makes you look miserable!" Swire pouted and tossed a pack of tissues at me. "What if I told you they were all wiped out because of your negligence?"

"I don't have time to hit you right now, so please line up at the back of the Reunion Movement." Chen took a deep breath, already recalling some of the situation.

“A few hours ago, you led the main force of the Guard Bureau away from the ruins, leaving him and Rhodes Island to fight alone in the ruins.” Swire threw the paper cup into the trash can and said with a hint of disdain, “Although you successfully broke through the Reunion Movement’s blockade, you obviously relaxed when you were about to enter Lungmen and failed to notice the bombs they planted by the roadside.”

“Then why did I…” Chen moved her body and found that she was not seriously injured, but she clearly remembered that when she struggled to climb out of the burning police car and dragged out the unconscious Machider to find cover, several Reunion Movement sorcerers had already targeted her.

“Mr. Ace from Rhodes Island saved your lives. Mr. Ace and his team were tracking Mephistopheles, but after discovering that you were in danger, they immediately abandoned their mission and went to rescue you.” Swire sneered. “It seems that tracking enemy officers was only a secondary mission. Otherwise, it would be quite a coincidence that they appeared just before you were injured.”

“It’s him…” Chen gritted his teeth, his expression complicated.

“That’s right. After you abandoned him in the ruins, he still managed to squeeze out an elite squad to secretly protect your safety!” Swire emphasized Qin Duanyu’s situation again, her words tinged with a hint of jealousy.

"To correct you slightly, it was he who took the initiative to suggest that the guards withdraw from the battle!" Chen said coldly, his icy tone revealing a hint of smugness.

"So you just accepted it without a second thought? You could at least leave some resources to support us, where is your conscience? Huh!"

"Sorry, that stuff was fed to the char siu cat a long time ago!"

"If you were even half as good at arguing, you wouldn't have been ambushed by the Reunion Movement and lost the Guard Bureau headquarters!"

Just as the fierce battle was about to begin, the door to the room was pushed open, and Hoshiguma and Ace walked in.

"What's wrong with you two? You've only been apart for a short while and you're already making such a fuss? You'll disturb the injured person next door who's trying to rest." Hoshiguma acted like a kindergarten teacher watching her children fight, pressing down on each of their heads to separate them. "Also, why is there only one glass of water on the table? I remember pouring one for each of you..."

Seeing the water stains on Chen's face, Sister Gui had already guessed most of what was going on, and looked helpless.

It's one thing to make a fuss in the Guard Bureau, but at least don't make Rhodes Island laugh at you.

However, she immediately thought of the doctor's various methods. These two were completely under his control. She guessed that after they married, she would see them arguing every day on Rhodes Island.

Well, it doesn't seem like such a big deal after all.

Meanwhile, Chen and Swire had already started a new round of debate about something else.

“You have slowed down our counter-offensive considerably. Now, the Special Inspectorate should mobilize all its forces and head to the Guard Bureau building.”

"Are you ordering me around? Show me Commander Wei's documents and I'll immediately relinquish command. Otherwise, shut up and do what you're supposed to do. We all have our own tasks, don't we?"

"*Longmen swear words*, you surnamed Chen, you better remember this, watch out or one day you'll have a decoration on your head, I think a meteor hammer would be pretty good!"

……

Several tens of minutes later, Swire led the members of the Major Crimes Unit toward the city.

"Hello?" Feeling the vibration in his pocket, Little Tiger took out his communicator and connected to an encrypted channel.

“Swire, we’ve left Rhodes Island. You can proceed with the plan now.” Chen’s calm voice came from the other end, completely devoid of the tension that had prevailed on Rhodes Island.

"Heh, you seemed to be having a good time insulting me just now?"

"Although he couldn't completely hide it from the Doctor, he was aware of the stakes involved and didn't inform the ordinary Rhodes Island operators. So it was necessary to make them realize that Lungmen was in a very unfavorable situation, so as not to expose any flaws. Not bad acting, Chashao Cat."

"Hmph, I wasn't acting. I really almost lost control and swung that thing at your face just now." Swire said coldly, showing no mercy. "But compared to my mission, smashing your ugly face isn't that high a priority!"

"Oh? You're jealous that he thoughtfully sent people to protect me even though he knew we were being schemed against? Luckily, we only know the part we were assigned to. Otherwise, if we knew what I was going to do in advance, I could have enjoyed seeing your jealous expression."

"*Dragon Gate swear words*, you better not die, otherwise it'll be too much trouble to whip your corpse as a mourner!"

Swire angrily hung up the communicator, her lips drooping and her eyes filled with rage. Then, the corners of her mouth gradually turned up, revealing her bright white canine teeth, and she looked all smiles.

The entire process of change was strikingly similar to the meme of a certain Black boxer.

You wouldn't believe it, but my current mission is to rescue Rhodes Island members who are evacuating from the ruins!

On one side is the useless dragon policeman who ruthlessly abandoned the doctor and still needs him to waste manpower to protect him, and on the other side is the adorable tiger policeman who thoughtfully cleared obstacles on his way back and warmly welcomed him. Even if he guessed Commander Wei's plan and was mentally prepared, he would obviously be more friendly to me, right?

If the Doctor is engaged in a fierce battle, and I lead my people to join the battle and turn the tide, the favorability bonus will be even higher!

Rice noodle roll dragon, you still can't beat me in the end!

The smug little tiger had no idea that at the same time, Qin Duanyu was enjoying the white rabbit's face wash while drunk, and only shivered slightly, which could be considered a response to her longing.

Chapter 57, Section 341: Really, do you think I'm that easy to fool?

Swire's good mood didn't last long before it was completely ruined by a series of unpleasant things.

On the main road leading out of the city, the Reunification Movement was almost always on guard every three or five steps. Even in the alleys and side streets that only locals knew about, there were people secretly lying in ambush, waiting for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

"Damn it, these Reunion Movement members are like cockroaches!" Although the ambush fighters weren't very strong, they were really annoying, especially when she was in a hurry to get to the ruins to see Qin Duanyu, the annoyance only increased.

"Listen up, Guard Bureau! Smash the Reunification Movement at Pacific Place, along with their bunkers, to pieces!" Just as she had finally broken through the road leading out of the city and was stabilizing the defenses around the city gate, as if to say that she hadn't been breached yet, Chen's roar came through the communication channel at just the right moment.

"*Dragon Gate swear words*, you surnamed Chen, I heard everything just now. Pacific Place is my family's property, what are you trying to do?" Swire was shocked and cursed loudly.

Even before the Reunion Movement launched its offensive, Lungmen had already used the pretext of an anti-terrorism exercise to move the city's residents to safe shelters. Those in power had learned about the situation through various channels and had even moved their valuables.

But since the event happened so suddenly, those huge and heavy items had to be abandoned, not to mention the properties and shops; you couldn't just move the whole building.

If Chen damages everything, the repairs won't be cheap. Even if she owns a construction company and can keep costs to a minimum, money shouldn't be wasted like this!

"Sorry, the Reunion Movement is trying to put up a last-ditch effort. Destroying their fighting capacity is the top priority. Yes, that jewelry store. There was an enemy hiding inside. Blow it up with explosives, okay..."

"Don't think I don't know, you bastard, you're just taking revenge! Humph, all you did was buy me a necklace from the professor."

"What's with that piano? Was it too heavy to move? What did I just say? Smash their bunkers, don't hold back! I don't care how much that thing costs, we must wipe out the entire Reunion Movement!"

Then came the loud crash of something heavy breaking apart and collapsing to the ground.

Along with it, Swire's heart also shattered.

"Damn it, that Steinway is worth 1.8 million. Not to mention that there's only one of its kind in Lungmen, it would take you five or six years of not eating or drinking to pay for it!" Little Tiger roared in impotent rage, barely suppressing the urge to turn the car around and fight Chen to the death.

“Excuse me, the operation was approved by Commander Wei. If there are any problems, please contact him. And remember to bring a damage list for his signature.” Chen nonchalantly indicated that everything would be covered by Young Master Wei. “Oh dear, the enemy used Originium Arts to jam the signal. I can’t hear what you’re saying… Ah… Chashao Cat… Speak louder… Hey…”

"Damn it!" Swire threw the communicator aside and suddenly remembered that when they lived together in the villa, the three of them went shopping at Pacific Place at night, and she showed off her skills on this piano and received praise from the doctor.

Damn it, that old Chen guy can't even hammer a triangle properly, he's just jealous of my many talents!

But it doesn't matter, as long as I can see the Doctor and increase my favorability, it's nothing! Swire comforted herself, channeling her anger into her flail and aiming it at the head of a Reunion swordsman.

The unfortunate kid had never seen anything like it before. He tried to take the hit head-on with his shield, but he instantly shrank by several tens of centimeters.

……

Unlike Swire's experience, thanks to the large force of the Guard Bureau led by Chen, which attracted a lot of attention from the Reunion Movement, Qin Duanyu encountered no obstacles on her return journey, and the two sides bumped into each other outside the city.

"Miss Swire, what's the situation in Lungmen now? Have Inspector Chen and the others returned safely?" Qin Duanyu asked as soon as she got out of the car.

"Changfenlong? What else could she do? She's already led her team to regain control of the entire Upper City and is currently trying to retake the Guard Bureau building. Although communications over there are intermittent, the situation is relatively optimistic." Little Tiger replied in a somewhat indifferent and very official tone.

Although he was happy to see Qin Duanyu return unharmed, it was normal to be upset because he had gone through so much trouble and the imagined scene of a beautiful woman saving the doctor hadn't materialized.

And you're so concerned about her safety, but what about me? I used to call her "Little Sweetie," and now I'm "Miss Swire"? Even a casual inquiry would have been fine, why am I suddenly acting like a block of wood!

Swire doesn't consider herself the type of woman who throws tantrums regardless of the situation, but the person she likes only glanced at her before directly inquiring about another woman's situation in such a businesslike tone, which inevitably made her feel a little uncomfortable.

Despite his unhappiness, Little Tiger briefly explained the current situation and then looked at the operators behind him: "Now that you have successfully evacuated the ruins, I need Rhodes Island's help to wipe out the Reunion Movement in the city and recapture several important facilities."

"Understood. Please come with us to escort the wounded back to the land-based ship. The Operations Department will fully cooperate with your operation later." Qin Duanyu nodded. In fact, he was also quite helpless. It was obvious that he should say a few words without any unnecessary nonsense and express his concern.

But Platinum and Blue Poison were watching from behind. Even though they knew about Swire, they weren't magnanimous enough to watch him show affection with other girls. If he were to act any closer, the "Reunion Movement," who were hiding somewhere, would probably launch a sneak attack.

“MISS, we’re still fighting the Reunion Movement in the building, but Inspector Chen went to the rooftop alone…” At that moment, Swire’s communicator crackled to life, and Machider’s anxious voice came through.

"What is the rice noodle dragon doing? Where is Hoshiguma? How can she let that rice noodle dragon run wild?" Swire knew that ordinary operators couldn't persuade Chen, but Hoshiguma was such a calm person, there was no reason for her to let her run wild.

“Star Sir was injured in the battle just now and is receiving treatment,” Machider said simply. “We suspect that the commander of Reunion is on the roof, but all the squads are tied up and unable to provide support…”

"At all costs, attack immediately to help that damned dragon!" Swire gritted her teeth. For Hoshiguma to escape the battlefield, it was clearly not a minor scratch.

"Xiao Ma, you guys proceed steadily and be careful. Leave Chen to me!" Qin Duanyu waved her hand, indicating that she didn't need to be so nervous. "Amiya, Huang, get ready, we're going to rescue people!"

"What are you talking about? The city is full of the Reunification Movement right now, and what good will it do you even if you get to the building? You'll still have to climb up slowly. By the time you get there, it'll be too late!" Swire said irritably.

A few minutes later, a high-tech aircraft landed in front of them.

"When we get to Rhodes Island, take some time to visit my office. There's a document with the code '89757A' in the first drawer on the left. Make sure you open it and take a look." Qin Duanyu said this before turning and boarding the aircraft.

"I'm very busy, I don't have that kind of free time!" Swire roared, beckoning the rest of the people to head towards the landship.

……

A dozen minutes later.

Well, Rhodes Island will need some time to gather its operators anyway, so everyone can take a break. Hmm, I was just wandering around aimlessly; I didn't specifically follow his instructions to look for anything.

Swire sauntered into Qin Duanyu's office and started rummaging through the drawer he had mentioned.

To Mr. Wei Yanwu:

Mr. Bo has been transferred to the Guard Department twice and is deeply impressed by your efficient operating methods. He wishes to establish a similar working model at Rhodes Island and therefore earnestly requests that Ms. Beatrice Swire, Senior Superintendent of your Guard Department, be appointed as a special advisor to our company. Her consent has been obtained, and the transfer application form and her signature are attached.

I hope you will part with it.
