Urban Ace Bodyguard

Qi Weiwei finally realized why this was not a good situation.

The man had never even touched a single finger of hers before, and every time she walked home at night and encountered ruffians, they would get beaten up, losing teeth and fainting before they could take any improper advantage.

But today, she felt both ashamed and furious.

"You, let me go," Qi Weiwei said, panicking.

She had never encountered such a situation before and was inevitably a little inexperienced.

"I won't let go, I'm afraid you'll kill me," Lin Hai mumbled.

"You, you beast, you hooligan, just wait to rot in jail!" Qi Weiwei gritted her teeth, but this position simply did not allow her any leverage.

"Hehe, Queen Qi, you still dare to threaten me?" Lin Hai chuckled smugly, his triumph clear for all to see.

"Damn it!" Queen Qi's face flushed with anger, her words stumbling, her body quivering.

"Put me down."

"No way!"

"Are you sure?"

"Absolutely not letting go!"

"You... Lin Hai, let me go, please."

When force didn't work, she had to resort to a softer approach.

"Hehe, now you know how to beg for mercy? I won't let go; if I do, you'd beat me to death."

"I promise I won't beat you to death!"

She was so angry that she gritted her teeth, each word bursting with rage as if she wished she could kill Lin Hai on the spot.

"..."

"How come I get the feeling that you really want to beat me to death right now? Don't fool me; I didn't have much education," Lin Hai said.

After a standoff that lasted for over ten minutes, Lin Hai felt it was about time to stop, as continuing the game might lead to serious losses.

"What will it take for you to let me go?"

"Only if you beg me," Lin Hai declared.

At this moment, he was unaware that outside the office door, a young female police officer had her eyes wide open, her face as red as an apple. She initially came to deliver intelligence reports to Captain Qi.

But as soon as she reached the door, she heard a series of loud noises, followed by Captain Qi's pleas for mercy, and then the conversation she had just overheard.

The young policewoman immediately covered her eyes, soon realizing she covered the wrong place and hurriedly covered her ears, which turned crimson.

Should she knock on the door at this moment? Would it be disrupting Captain Qi's good time? The inner conflict was real for the young policewoman.

"Lin Hai, please, spare me this one time," Queen Qi pleaded with a voice full of misery and gentleness.

This voice also reached the ears of the young policewoman at the office entrance.

The innocent and naïve young policewoman, freshly graduated from police academy, felt her world turned upside down, completely distorting her usual values.

Queen Qi, the authoritative sister, the Captain Qi who could take down a bunch of guys single-handedly in the police force, was now emitting such a tender and pleading voice—what was the reason for this?

The young policewoman rubbed her ears hard, preferring to believe the voices she heard were just hallucinations.

"Alright, I could let you go, but you can't go wild," Lin Hai no sooner finished speaking than Qi Weiwei nodded eagerly.

Lin Hai released his grip. Chapter provided via M|V|L@EMPYR.

Qi Weiwei struggled to her feet, staring at Lin Hai with immense annoyance, her eyes also mixed with other complicated emotions.

"Uhm, Captain Qi, don't look at me like that; it's giving me the creeps," Lin Hai complained.

Qi Weiwei's face was flushed with anger. She gritted her teeth but held back from making a scene.

Silence fell around them, making the atmosphere incredibly awkward.

…

Knock knock knock—

The sound of knocking at the door broke the stalemate.

Qi Weiwei glared at Lin Hai before adjusting her clothes, took a deep breath, walked over, and opened the door to the office.

"Cap... Captain Qi," the young policewoman stuttered, her face red.

"What is it? I'm discussing important matters," Qi Weiwei tried her best to hide her previous fluster, putting on a dignified front for her subordinate.

"Well, this is some information on human trafficking networks; Director Li asked me to bring it to you... I just got here, I didn't hear anything," the innocent young policewoman nervously explained, giving off the impression that she was making things worse.

At this moment, Queen Qi felt so indignant she nearly spewed a mouthful of blood in frustration.

This is called a cover-up? Haven't heard anything yet, and now I've completely lost face in front of my subordinates, but I can't burst out. It's really frustrating.

Seeing her captain's face getting darker, the young policewoman was so nervous she started babbling, "Sister Qi, I really didn't hear anything!"

"I didn't hear what you said to Mr. Lin..........."

"..........." Queen Qi was completely flustered.

The young policewoman was about to cry from nervousness.

In the office, Lin Hai was also utterly speechless.

Like boss, like subordinate...

"You, you go down first," instructed Qi Weiwei, in a fluster.

The young officer obediently nodded, relieved, and scurried away as if on the wings of the wind.

Qi Weiwei closed the door, turned around, and saw Lin Hai looking completely relaxed against the only intact chair, smoking and enjoying himself.

The most annoying part was that this guy even had a look of utter contentment on his face. I really want to kill him right then and there.

"Spit it out!" Queen Qi said with a stern face.

"I will take responsibility," Lin Hai declared sincerely.

Qi Weiwei ground her teeth and squeezed out the words through clenched teeth: "I mean the investigation into the human traffickers!"

After speaking, she added: "Who wants you to take responsibility?"

"Uh..." Lin Hai was at a loss for words and laughed sheepishly.

"You saw my skills just now. I didn't really want to kill you. Otherwise, you wouldn't have survived Queen's mighty attack. So, do you agree or not?"

"What do you think?" teased Lin Hai.

Qi Weiwei really wanted to bite this detestable man to death.

Suddenly, a spark of inspiration flickered in her mind and a sly smile crept onto her lips.

"Queen, that look on your face is giving me chills," Lin Hai said, perplexed.

"Heh heh, Lin Hai, right? According to my preliminary investigation, you and Ouyang Xiaoya seem to be pretty close. What would happen if I tell her about your indecent assault on the Queen?"

"Damn, you don't care about your own reputation?" Lin Hai's eyes widened in surprise.

"For the sake of cracking the case, eradicating those despicable criminals, and restoring a safe and orderly social order to the public, what does it matter if the Queen loses face?"

"When I first joined the police force, I took an oath under the national emblem. Like my father, I vowed to be a qualified and excellent police officer. To take down that crime ring, I am willing to pay a certain price!" Qi Weiwei's eyes reddened, becoming somewhat emotional.

Lin Hai silently closed his mouth, smoking deeply.

"My father sacrificed himself while fighting drug traffickers. I am the daughter of a martyr. Wearing this police uniform, I bear the important responsibility of protecting the peace. This is the greatest honor bestowed upon me by the country. You could never understand that!"

Queen Qi finished speaking and remained silent, but there was a flicker of moisture in her eyes. Every time she remembered her late father, the softest place in her hardened heart would be touched.

Lin Hai sank into deep memories.

Once upon a time, he had been just as passionate, just as loving towards this country.

Her determined gaze reminded him so much of himself back in the day.

After a long while, Lin Hai threw away the cigarette butt, closed his eyes, and said in a hoarse voice, "I agree."

"But you have to promise me two things."

Qi Weiwei said excitedly, "Name your conditions. As long as it's not against the law and principles, I'll agree!"

"Idiot, why do you guarantee without asking? Aren't you afraid I'll screw you over?"

Lin Hai smiled and then said seriously, "First, ensure Ke'er's safety. There must be no slip-ups."

"I absolutely guarantee it! Even if criminals have to step over my dead body, they won't be allowed to hurt Ke'er."

Lin Hai nodded; he believed Qi Weiwei's promise.

"What's the second thing?" Queen Qi asked curiously.

"Second, promise me you'll take care of yourself. Don't get hurt," Lin Hai said without looking at her, yet his voice was gentle and tender.

Qi Weiwei was taken aback as she looked at Lin Hai. In the softest place of her hardened heart, she felt as if a sharp blade had plunged in, and her calm heart was disrupted by a sudden stirring, as if the strings of her heart were being plucked...

"Don't look at me with those eyes. You're a good girl, a good cop. I found my conscience; I don't want to see you get hurt, okay? If I were more competent, I would have handled this myself," Lin Hai said, waving his hand in irritation.

And he added: "I hate women looking at me with that kind of eye the most. Even though I may be down, I'm still a man."

"What are you zoning out for? Speak up!"

"..." Qi Weiwei bowed her cute head and fell silent.

"Keep zoning out then. I'm going to pick up Ke'er. Kids get anxious without adults around. Staying alone too long can lead to a loss of security," Lin Hai said before turning and leaving.
