Chapter 31: Min Rou Will Be Grateful to YouOf course, the police had to give Yue Zitong an explanation. No matter what Li Nanfang had done, Bai Ling'er had no right to beat him up at will, let alone try to strangle him. "Mr. Yue, rest assured, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer," Zhang, the police chief, forced a smile and then sternly asked one of his subordinates, "Han Jun, have you got to the bottom of this?"Han Jun was one of the two men who had followed Bai Ling'er to stop Li Nanfang from beating up Boss Hao. After Bai Ling'er took Li Nanfang away, he was in charge of investigating the situation at the scene. There were many witnesses to the incident where Boss Hao had bullied Min Rou, and Han Jun quickly got the whole story. He just hadn't had the chance to report back to Bai Ling'er yet. Now, hearing the chief's question, he didn't dare to hide anything and recounted the events from an objective standpoint. Min Rou, being the direct victim, also added her own account of what Boss Hao had said to her.It was a pretty straightforward case. Boss Hao, who had drunk too much, had seen Li Nanfang giving money to Min Rou and mistakenly thought she was a certain kind of professional woman. Seeing how pretty and delicate she was, he tried to take her away by force, using his drunkenness as an excuse. It was also quite strange that Mrs. Hao, who was sitting in the car, didn't stop her husband from flirting with the woman on the street. But when she realized who Min Rou was, she tried to intervene, only to be beaten up by Li Nanfang with a bag. Both Mr. and Mrs. Hao had been sent to the hospital, and Xiao Ma was in charge of following up on the case.Han Jun paused here and glanced at Bai Ling'er out of the corner of his eye, then said in a low voice, "At that time, we happened to see this gentleman beating up Hao Lianqing, and Bai Ling'er went to stop him. In his irrational state, this gentleman accidentally injured Bai Ling'er——"Yue Zitong coldly interrupted him, "You say Li Nanfang injured Bai Ling'er by accident? Huh, if it was an accident, then I don't understand why Bai Ling'er would treat Li Nanfang like that. Officer Han, don't tell me that before you broke in, you didn't hear how miserable he was screaming."Han Jun's mouth moved, but he didn't say anything. With the chief present, it wasn't his place to give Yue Zitong an explanation. The chief turned to Bai Ling'er and asked, "Bai Ling'er, is what Han Jun said true?"No, it's not true! Bai Ling'er wanted to shout this out to the world and expose Li Nanfang's despicable and shameless face. But she didn't dare. She could only bite her lip hard and glare at Li Nanfang in Yue Zitong's arms. Li Nanfang smirked at her, his raised corners of his mouth showing an arrogant "come and bite me" attitude, though others didn't see it."I'm going to kill you!" Bai Ling'er went crazy, losing all control. She screamed and reached for her gun from her waist, aiming it at Li Nanfang and about to pull the trigger."Outrageous!"The chief was terrified. He stepped sideways to block the gun and pointed to his own nose, shouting loudly, "Come on, Bai Ling'er, shoot here!" The chief's face, twisted with extreme anger, was like a strong wind that blew away the fog, bringing Bai Ling'er back to her senses. Her mouth twitched a few times, and then she dejectedly lowered the gun and hung her head."Bai Ling'er, I now announce that you are no longer the deputy captain of the criminal police team. Your firearm qualification is revoked, and you will await the final decision from the bureau!" The chief reached over and took Bai Ling'er's gun, unloading the magazine.Bai Ling'er turned around, pushed past Han Jun, covered her face with both hands, and rushed out of the interrogation room like the wind."Ah," the chief sighed heavily. Turning to Yue Zitong, he forced a smile and said, "Mr. Yue, I'm really sorry. How about this, let's send Mr. Li to the hospital for a check-up first? The medical expenses, as well as any material losses he has suffered, will be covered by the Municipal Bureau."The so-called material losses, of course, referred to Li Nanfang's tattered clothes."No need, our Kaifeng Group can afford it," Yue Zitong said coldly. Perhaps realizing that his attitude might be a bit too harsh towards the chief, he softened his tone a bit, "Chief Zhang, thank you for getting to the bottom of this and confirming that my man didn't do anything wrong. As for that Boss Hao——"Chief Zhang quickly said, "Mr. Yue, rest assured. Our police force's principle is to never wrong a good person, but also never let a bad one go. I will personally take charge of this case and will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."Since the chief had lowered his stance so much, even with Yue Zitong's powerful background, he couldn't be unreasonable. After thanking him again, Yue Zitong took his leave."How are you feeling?" Yue Zitong asked Li Nanfang, who was helped into the car by Min Rou. "Do you need to go to the hospital for a check-up?""No, it's not serious. I just need to rest for a few days," Li Nanfang replied. To show that he really needed to rest, he coughed violently for a while. Min Rou looked worried and suggested that he should go to the hospital for a check-up. But Li Nanfang couldn't go to the hospital. Under advanced medical equipment, he would definitely be exposed. Naturally, he had to firmly oppose going to the doctor, even using the excuse that he had always been afraid of injections since he was a child.Since he insisted on not seeing a doctor, Yue Zitong didn't force him. He first drove Min Rou back to the apartment she rented, told her not to worry too much, and assured her that everything was under his protection. Then he turned the car around and headed towards the villa on Huayuan Road.All the way, Yue Zitong didn't say a word, his eyebrows slightly furrowed as if he had something on his mind. Li Nanfang, of course, didn't speak either. He was still savoring the unique satisfaction that Bai Ling'er had given him."Min Rou will definitely be grateful to you," Yue Zitong suddenly said this as he was opening the gate of the villa with a remote control."What?" Li Nanfang, who was thinking about something pleasant, asked subconsciously.Yue Zitong didn't say anything further. He drove into the yard, turned off the car, and got out without paying any attention to Li Nanfang.Since the kid insisted on not going to the hospital, it proved that he wasn't seriously injured. It was just a minor flesh wound. There was no need to treat him like a patient. Being able to offer a warm embrace was already more than enough.After turning on the living room lights and seeing that his own white, pointed-collared shirt was all messed up with what seemed to be tears and snot from Li Nanfang, Yue Zitong felt a bit nauseous and quickly went upstairs to the bedroom to change clothes.The villa was a two-story small villa, not very large in terms of floor area, only about 200 square meters, but it was more than enough for Yue Zitong to live in. The interior decoration was in a simple European style, mainly in white and light blue, which showed that his temperament tended to be cold.Li Nanfang stood in the hall and scanned every corner of the room. It was his habit to observe the dead angles, escape routes, and the easiest places for enemies to break through whenever he entered a new environment. This good habit had helped Li Nanfang survive several times in the past few years, turning danger into safety.Good habits should always be maintained, such as not knocking on the door before entering a room..."How do you like this living environment?" Just as Li Nanfang was looking out the window, Yue Zitong, who had already changed into a black nightgown, appeared at the corridor railing on the second floor. Although her voice was still as calm as ever, it had a hint of pride. Showing off one's carefully decorated room is something every girl loves to do."Okay, I guess," Li Nanfang replied nonchalantly."Okay? Just okay?" Yue Zitong was a bit dissatisfied. Looking down at him with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes, it seemed to ask: Country bumpkin, you probably have never lived in such a high-end villa in your life, right?As far as she knew, after her eldest sister eloped with her brother-in-law, feeling ashamed in front of the furious Yue family, they had sworn never to recognize this daughter. The couple had been living in a small village in the northeast, always in poverty."Very nice, really," Li Nanfang immediately gave a thumbs-up with both hands, exaggerating, "The palace of the Saudi Prince is probably just this level, right?"Yue Zitong's villa was of course not as luxurious as the palace of the Saudi Prince. It couldn't compare even if it tried to catch up by plane or horse. Li Nanfang had been there personally—after all, he was the one who stole a certain treasure that the Saudi royal family was now offering a huge reward for worldwide.Yue Zitong was well aware of this, but like all girls, she didn't mind when a man used overly exaggerated words to praise her. At most, she would just pretend to disdain it and roll her eyes, "Do you want to live here permanently in the future?""Sure, of course I do!" Li Nanfang nodded vigorously, not caring if he broke his neck."There are two ways you can completely own this villa," Yue Zitong said slowly, holding a paper bag in her hand."Go on, I'm all ears," Li Nanfang took a few steps forward, eagerly waiting to hear."The first way is for you to disappear from my life completely.""Let's hear the second way then.""The second way is just wishful thinking on your part.""Hmm, that's good. After all, wishful thinking isn't too hard.""Humph." Yue Zitong coldly snorted and threw the paper bag down. Li Nanfang walked over and picked it up. Inside were a pair of shoes, men's casual clothes, and a white shirt, all international brands."Cut it out. I wouldn't want to go into your doghouse even if you begged me," Yue Zitong sneered and turned to go back to her bedroom, but then she heard Li Nanfang ask, "Are there any other men living in your house?""Nonsense, I live here all by myself!" Yue Zitong frowned and looked back at him. "This set of clothes was what I used to wear when I was on missions outside. It cost tens of thousands. Consider it a bargain for you.""I love taking advantage of situations. Hehe," Li Nanfang smiled and took out the shoes to try them on.Yue Zitong was clearly lying. Li Nanfang had seen her small feet before. Even if she was in disguise as a man on a mission, it seemed unlikely that she would wear shoes this big. But Li Nanfang didn't plan to expose her. After all, sometimes girls lie for the sake of face, which doesn't make them annoying but rather endearing.Just as Li Nanfang didn't plan to tell Yue Zitong that he had found footprints in the house that had been deliberately wiped but not cleaned properly, and they were still fresh, probably left before they came home tonight. Yue Zitong was a special agent. If you walk by the river often enough, you're bound to get your feet wet. So it was normal for people to come looking for her. Of course, what was normal before was different now. With Li Nanfang officially living in this house, those men would surely be in for a bad time if they came snooping around.Chapter 32: You're DoomedI guess I can sort of call myself a man with a home now, right? Li Nanfang glanced once more at the white ceiling in the living room, the crystal chandelier hanging down, the white fabric sofa, and the wine cabinet against the west wall. What is home? For a grown man, the home with his parents and siblings doesn't really count as his own. A man's home doesn't need to be too luxurious; the key is to have that one special person. From the moment he steps through the door, he feels warmth and total relaxation, taking off his smelly socks, sitting on the sofa, picking his toes, watching his wife bustling in the kitchen, and the kids playing around, he feels proud and proud. Of course, Yue Zitong is definitely not the person Li Nanfang hopes for, and this home is not his real home. But so what? He didn't forget the feeling of lying in her warm embrace at the bureau. It was really warm and made him feel nostalgic. How great it would be if he could do that whenever he wanted in the future. Every strong man, in fact, has a heart that needs to be soothed by a woman's gentleness."My heart is actually very fragile too," Li Nanfang murmured after scanning every corner of the living room with a sentimental look. He pushed open the bedroom door and said, "Yue Zitong, can you stop using your ridiculous tricks to ruin my beautiful expectations of you?" The gentle look on Mr. Li's face shattered the moment he pushed open the door. He suspected that his eyes might be playing tricks on him and subconsciously rubbed them hard. He glanced back at the living room and then looked at his room again.His eyes were not deceiving him; what he saw was real. Outside the door, the living room was so luxurious, but inside the room was, well, spotless. It was really too clean. In fact, only this word could describe the bedroom that Yue Zitong had meticulously prepared for Li Nanfang. There was just a bed, an old-fashioned single wooden plank bed. It was really hard to imagine where Yue Zitong had found it, probably from some scrap yard. Apart from this wooden plank bed, there was not a single piece of furniture in the guest room. There was a wall-mounted air conditioner, but Li Nanfang was sure that even if the great Luohan came, he would not be able to make it work.What's more, the wooden plank bed was also very clean, without even a pillow, let alone a quilt or anything. It would be nice to have some straw to lay on, right? Looking outside the door, it was a villa; looking inside the door, it was a slum. It must have taken Yue Zitong a lot of effort to make the room so "clean."Mr. Li's good mood was completely ruined, and he was furious. He turned around and shouted upstairs, "Yue Zitong!"Yue Zitong must have been waiting for Mr. Li's call. As soon as he finished speaking, she appeared at the door of the corridor on the second floor, her eyebrows furrowed and looking very dissatisfied. "What are you shouting about in the middle of the night?" This woman must have already thought of some sharp and cutting words to refute my protest, heh, how could I let her have her way? Seeing the gleam in Yue Zitong's eyes, which seemed to hide some malicious fun, Li Nanfang sneered inwardly. However, on the surface, he quickly put on a look of gratitude and said, "How did you know I like sleeping on a wooden plank bed the most? Auntie, you are like a worm in my stomach, wriggling and turning around inside, not afraid of being digested by my gastric juice at all——""Li Nanfang, you are asking for death!" Yue Zitong felt nauseous and slapped the corridor railing hard, rushing down the stairs with her sleeves rolled up, looking very fierce.Absolutely driven mad by Li Nanfang's disgusting words, Yue Zitong rushed down the stairs like the wind. Unfortunately, she tripped on the hem of her nightgown and tumbled down the stairs, screaming and rolling all the way. "Ha, ha!" Li Nanfang laughed triumphantly. "This is what they call, if heaven makes a mistake, it can still be lived with, but if one makes a mistake oneself, there is no way out!"With a thud, Yue Zitong's forehead hit the redwood stair railing post before she finally rolled down the last step. Her eyes were full of stars, but she could still hear that bastard's cold ridicule: "Man, to be a special agent and fall like this? I think you'd better go be a model. What a long, white leg you have. And that tiny waist, is it less than 24 inches? Does the bunny have a 36E? I don't think so——""I'm going to kill you, you scum, I'm going to kill you!" Yue Zitong shouted furiously, threw off the nightgown covering her head, and got up. She saw that Li Nanfang had disappeared, and the guest room door was tightly closed. "Get out here, you get out here!" Yue Zitong, grinding her teeth, rushed to the guest room door and kicked it with all her might, making a loud noise.Fortunately, the door was also made of redwood and sturdy enough. Li Nanfang leaned against the door, and no matter how hard she kicked the door, it remained unmoved. "Open the door!" Yue Zitong's voice came from outside.Li Nanfang retorted, "Open the door and let you beat me? Do you
