NOVPUBCaught in a dilemma, Chen Nan saw clearly that the beautiful policewoman under the bus stop sign ahead was looking at him with a playful smile on her face.
Gazing at the woman’s stunning smile,
Chen Nan couldn’t help but shiver.
A spine-chilling feeling surged in his heart.
Not until this moment
did Chen Nan wake up from the dream.
So, Jiang Li had discovered his presence long ago!
With that realization, he no longer hid himself, riding the shared bicycle right up to the bus stop sign.
He first shook off the rainwater from his body and then, with a look of surprise on his face, he smiled at Jiang Li, "Wow, it’s the great Officer Jiang Li, what a coincidence! I never thought we’d meet here; what fate!"
As he spoke, he couldn’t help but size up the beautiful policewoman before him.
Even though Jiang Li’s figure wasn’t very developed at the front, her body proportions were incredibly sexy and alluring, with long legs and a sense of power emanating from her whole being.
And because of the rain she had just walked through, her white T-shirt clung to her body, faintly revealing the black bra underneath.
Jiang Li looked at Chen Nan with an almost smirk, "Has anyone ever told you that your acting is really poor?"
Feeling guilty, Chen Nan touched the tip of his nose and said with a laugh, "When did you discover me?"
With an air of pride, Jiang Li said, "I have been on the job for over two years, and I’ve been very familiar with the faces that frequently appear in the night market."
"Although you’ve hidden yourself well, I am immediately on guard the moment any stranger shows up in the night market."
Chen Nan responded with sincere respect, "Your insight is really powerful, I can’t deny it."
He paused, then asked puzzledly, "But there’s one thing I’m curious about. If you had already noticed me, why did you act as if nothing had happened?"
"Weren’t you afraid I might attack you?"
Jiang Li hesitated for a moment and asked cautiously, "Would you attack me, please? Just consider it a favor!"
Chen Nan’s mouth twitched, not expecting Jiang Li to actually ask him to attack her.
So twisted!
Does she have some kind of serious illness?
Seeing that Chen Nan remained unmoved, Jiang Li deflated like a balloon and let out a sigh, "I am a police officer of the people. If I were afraid of criminals, how could I have chosen this profession?"
"Besides, I’ve been working for over two years without solving a single case or catching a criminal, which really pisses me off."
"Do you understand how annoying it is?"
Chen Nan smiled and said, "Actually, this also reflects that Jizhou has very good public security. It’s nearly reached the point where ’doors are not bolted at night, and lost items are not picked up on the road.’ Such public security is something people in many Western countries wouldn’t dare to dream of, and I think that’s good."
"Do you really believe our Jizhou’s security is that good?" Jiang Li looked quietly at the rain curtain before her, her eyes filled with perplexity.
Chen Nan muttered, "At least, everything within sight is filled with peace and tranquility!"
Jiang Li’s pupils shook violently, and she looked at Chen Nan in shock. His words "at least" and "everything within sight" deeply touched her heart, resonating with her.
However, she hadn’t expected Chen Nan, so young, to already see the darkness hidden behind the prosperity of Jizhou.
For a moment,
her feelings toward Chen Nan grew slightly warmer.
She exhaled a breath of foul air, "So, you’ve been following me because you realized I was in danger and wanted to protect me secretly?"
Chen Nan’s gaze grew more and more profound, "Some paths are full of mud and obstacles, surrounded by thorns; it’s hard to reach the other shore alone. A slight misstep may lead to death on the road. If there are friends with the same ideals, supporting each other, it’s not a bad thing."
Jiang Li in shock, "You’re just an ordinary person, why would you choose such a difficult and muddy path?"
Chen Nan, "The rise and fall of a nation is the responsibility of every individual!"
Boom!
Just at that moment,
a thunderbolt exploded in the sky.
The impact of those eight simple words, mixed with the thunder, brought Jiang Li a tremendous shock!
It made her scalp tingle and her spine chill.
She hadn’t expected that this young man in front of her could utter such earth-shattering words.
Damn!
Suddenly, she felt this guy was kind of handsome!
A blush crept over Jiang Li’s face, and her heart pounded like a frightened deer.
Previously, she had little interest in men, not even the handsome guys and stars in the entertainment industry.
But now,
she felt that Chen Nan was really handsome.
Especially his deep gaze and the way he looked up at the night sky at a forty-five-degree angle.
So irresistibly handsome!
"Get out of the way!"
While Jiang Li was still lost in Chen Nan’s handsomeness, Chen Nan suddenly yelled.
The next moment,
Jiang Li felt herself caught in strong, broad arms.
Her view started to spin.
She didn’t know what was happening, but her ears rang with a deafening roar as if something had crashed into the bus stop.
Before Jiang Li could snap out of it, Chen Nan’s weak voice reached her ears, "Officer Jiang, the danger is over; you can get off me now."
Jiang Li shivered, realizing then that Chen Nan was lying beneath her, ashen-faced, his arm dripping with blood that dyed the rainwater on the ground a shocking red.
She looked at the bus stop sign that had been struck by a car, fear mounting inside her.
It was a close call; if Chen Nan hadn’t pulled her away in that critical moment, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
No time to think further.
She immediately got up and ran toward the wrecked car, as a proud member of the police force she ought to appear promptly when the public is in danger.
Seeing that the driver inside was unconscious, emitting a strong smell of alcohol, Jiang Li’s anger surged.
She instantly called the police, asking her colleagues to come over.
Furthermore, she called for an ambulance.
The driver inside the cabin not only reeked of alcohol, but even had blood on his face and needed to be taken to the hospital immediately.
"I always feel like I’ve overlooked something," Officer Jiang frowned slightly, her eyes full of suspicion.
Then she gasped, turning her head back.
Chen Nan was still lying quietly on the ground, as pale as wax, with rain pit-pattering on his face.
"Oh, sorry, I forgot about you!" Officer Jiang’s face was filled with dismay, she quickly ran to Chen Nan and asked with concern, "Are you... are you okay? Is it serious?"
Chen Nan wore an expression as if he had lost the will to live: "Move away a bit and let the cold rain keep hitting my face."
"You’re still in the mood to joke at a time like this?" Jiang Li’s tears swirled in her eyes.
At this moment.
She believed that Chen Nan could predict the future, could see someone’s fate.
She was also deeply grateful that Chen Nan had stepped forward. Without him protecting her with his own body, how could she possibly be unharmed?
