Gorgeous Female Tenants

Finally, it was Xu Xiangbei’s turn. He took the money and certificate, then prepared to give his acceptance speech.

However, Guo Lijun handed him a speech script and told him to read from it. At that moment, Xu Xiangbei felt like a million crows had flown through his heart; he couldn’t articulate the feeling and could only read from the script.

The content was roughly all about thanking the country, thanking the people, and incidentally, thanking the Jiangcheng government and the detective squad.

His ideals and goals were to wholeheartedly serve the people, strive to become a pioneer in Huaxia’s socialist harmonious construction, and make efforts to promote police-community cooperation in the future, becoming the backbone of the nation.

In Xu Xiangbei’s speech, he was depicted as a citizen who was positive, diligent, loved the country, adored the people, and served sincerely. Jiangcheng City and the Jiangcheng People’s Government, along with the detective squad, were simply representatives of the state, embodiments of justice, symbolizing the highest interests of the people.

Even though Xu Xiangbei had a thick skin, his face turned red from these words. Previously he thought he was good at boasting, but now he realized someone was even better. Yet, these were genuine truths, only beautified. Xu Xiangbei quietly told himself this in his heart.

After Xu Xiangbei and his group completed the award ceremony, they planned to find a place to have dinner, while Captain Cao Yiyun had business to attend to and left first. Xu Xiangbei was very happy with this proposal, as he had two of the most beautiful female detectives from the squad accompanying him.

Just as they stepped out of the headquarters of the detective squad, a man approximately 1.9 meters tall walked toward them. He was in a police uniform, with a face so handsome it seemed carved from stone, exuding the distinctive aura of a soldier, radiating a striking energy.

"Xiao Xue, where are you all headed?" Upon seeing Qin Xue, his face immediately filled with a familiar smile and he greeted her warmly.

"Ah, it’s Captain Zeng, you’ve gotten even more handsome!" Yang Hai also smiled and greeted him.

"This is the newly appointed captain of the investigation team, named Zeng Xianren, they say he has served as a special forces soldier. His father is a military officer, making him a second-generation military personnel. It is said he is pursuing Qin Xue now!" Seeing that Xu Xiangbei didn’t recognize him, Guo Lijun leaned over to him and whispered.

Qin Xue gritted her teeth and coldly spat out two words: "Dinner!"

Zeng Xianren seemed accustomed to her attitude, neither annoyed nor angry, continuing with a cheerful tone: "How convenient, I was just about to have dinner myself. How about we go together?"

"No way!" Qin Xue immediately refused through gritted teeth.

"Why not? It is necessary for the Public Security Bureau’s investigation team and your detective squad to communicate for better cooperation in Jiangcheng’s public security work. If we are unfamiliar with each other’s personalities, ways of working, and capabilities, how will we cooperate in the future? So, now when we have time, we should familiarize ourselves more, right? Captain Yang."

Zeng Xianren seemed to know in advance that Qin Xue might refuse, but he had already come up with a clever way to propose, speaking righteously as if he was genuinely concerned for Jiangcheng’s public security work.

"Well, Captain Zeng is absolutely right, but we..." At this point, Yang Hai was caught between them, as if on a grilling fire, looking at Qin Xue then at Zeng Xianren, unsure of whom he should support.

Zeng Xianren’s face darkened slightly and in a somewhat threatening tone said: "Captain Yang, are you trying to undermine Jiangcheng’s public security construction?

If you indeed choose to do so, then I’m sorry, but for any matters you have in the future requiring assistance from our investigation team of the Public Security Bureau, we will not assist. We won’t randomly work with unknown or unfamiliar people, nor casually hand over vital materials and documents to such strangers." The word ’stranger’ was emphasized heavily; his intentions were quite clear.

"You..." Yang Hai wanted to say something, but swallowed his words, realizing that the detective squad indeed needed assistance from the Public Security Bureau investigation team in many areas; it wasn’t wise to offend this new captain.

"Hypocrite, villain, anyway, I’m not going to have dinner with you. At worst, I’ll quit the detective squad." Qin Xue, vexed, went straight for the jugular.

Zeng Xianren, after hearing her words, appeared somewhat devastated as he said: "I’m only doing this for Jiangcheng’s public security. Moreover, such places like the detective squad and the Public Security Bureau aren’t just somewhere people can come and go at will. Xiao Xue, you should consider things clearly and not let momentary emotions ruin your future. See how much I care about you. Captain Yang, please persuade her!"

"Qin Xue! This is the detective squad. It’s not somewhere you can leave whenever you want, acting on girlish whims. It’s just a meal, dining with Captain Zeng for a bit, it’s no big deal. As your captain, I’m ordering you to go to dinner!" Yang Hai asserted his authority as captain.

"At worst, I’ll... mmm" Qin Xue tried to say something but was suddenly silenced by Xu Xiangbei’s mouth.

Qin Xue felt her mind blank out, her beautiful eyes widened as she looked into Xu Xiangbei’s eyes so close to hers, with his resolute face, she felt her heart racing, blood coursing rapidly through her veins, her face turned imperceptibly redder, getting redder and redder like an apple ripening...

She quickly pushed Xu Xiangbei away but was immediately hugged fiercely by him again.

She wanted to push him away again, but Xu Xiangbei’s next words left her powerless.

"Don’t forget our bet; now consider it fulfilled. Don’t act childish, you dislike Zeng Xianren, don’t you? I’ll help you out, but next, you must follow my lead!"

"Fine, but if you don’t manage it, I’ll make sure you suffer!" Qin Xue, face flushed, spoke coldly.

"Don’t worry, I’m quite skilled; didn’t you just feel it?" Xu Xiangbei retorted with a grin, licking his lips.

"Shameless!" Qin Xue’s face was entirely red, she buried her head in Xu Xiangbei’s chest, fearful to show herself.

To outsiders, the two looked just like they were publicly displaying affection, not only kissing openly but hugging each other like lovers lost in romance.

Witnessing this scene, Zeng Xianren’s eyes reddened as he clenched his fists tightly. If Yang Hai weren’t holding him back, he might have immediately charged at Xu Xiangbei.

"Despicable! You used to act innocent in front of me, now you’re all lovey-dovey with another man in my presence. I’ll make you taste my wrath, and as for that man Xu, for daring to openly steal my woman, I’ll make you see what it’s like to live in torment!" Inside, Zeng Xianren roared, struggling to repress his anger.

"Xiao Xue meant to say we can all go to dinner together. Captain Zeng, sorry, I wasn’t aware you enjoy disrupting other people’s dates. But it’s fine, our Xiao Xue is magnanimous, it’s all good as it’s just colleagues having a meal. Besides, Xiao Xue and I have plenty of time tonight, right? Xiao Xue."

Xu Xiangbei challenged Zeng Xianren, then looked infinitely tenderly at Qin Xue and asked with questioning eyes.

At this time, Qin Xue, nestled in Xu Xiangbei’s embrace, continuously pinched his waist.

"Right!" Qin Xue, face flushed, meekly responded,

She felt all her dignity slipping away today, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into, but resorted to burying her head in Xu Xiangbei’s chest, avoiding eye contact with everyone.

Zeng Xianren felt his chest nearly exploding from rage, desperate to vent yet unable to find an outlet, akin to punching air; his face purpled, fists clenched tightly, crackling.

"What’s wrong? Captain Zeng, are you sick? You don’t look well!" Xu Xiangbei feigned concern upon seeing him.

"Puchi," Guo Lijun, on the side, almost burst out laughing, covering her mouth. She watched the whole scene, especially Xu Xiangbei’s last remark, finding it absolutely brilliant. She could sense that Zeng Xianren had internal injuries, clearly anger-induced!
