Leaving De L'amour, Yue Ling and Lin Hui soon arrived at Imperial's police station. Both individuals stepped out of the car, with Yue Ling wearing a mask.
If it had been her in the past, she wouldn't have cared to wear a mask. However, this time, it was different.
Her identity as General Ji's granddaughter has been revealed to a few others and her relationship with Lu Tian. The last thing she wants is the media to use this as a scandal for her grandfather and Lu Tian.
As she headed for the entrance of the police station, Lin Hui quietly followed behind her.
He didn't ask her any questions regarding her sudden concealment. He knows that his boss didn't care about what the media had to say about her, but it was different for the ones she loves.
"Hello, I'm Officer Xin."
Upon entering the building, the boss and subordinate were greeted by a female officer. She looked at Yue Ling and felt the woman look familiar but didn't remember from where.
She ponders for a long second but is unable to recall anything. She looks at Lin Hui and smiles.
"What can I help you with?"
Lin Hui stares at the woman with slightly creased eyebrows. He remembers her from the restaurant. She was one of the officers who came to the scene with Chief Ren.
"Ah, I guess you don't remember me. I'm here to write my statement regarding the incident this afternoon."
Listening to his words, Officer Xin's eyes widen in surprise, and she gasps. She stares at Lin Hui and chuckles.
"Oh my. I'm so sorry. Follow me this way."
She was taken aback because she and the other officers were joking about whether Lin Hui would show up at the police station. Surprisingly, he came as promised.
"Officer Xin, I'll take it from here."
Just as Lin Hui was about to follow the female officer, an older man's voice sounded from the back of the building. The commotion in the room turned quiet, and no one dared to make a sound.
Officer Xin turned around to look at the person. When she saw who it was, she gestured a respectful bow.
"Chief Ren."
Yue Ling looks at the elderly man and politely nods her head. Next to her, Lin Hui did the same but added a waving hand in greeting.
He crosses his arms over his chest and raises his chin with a confident face.
"See, I told you I would come in. I'm a man of my words."
A cheerful laugh escapes Lin Hui's lip, and he points with his head to his boss.
"And I was able to bring her too."
Chief Ren did not hear a single word Lin Hui said. His eyes were glued to the young woman wearing a mask.
Although he could only see her bluish-green eyes, he knew who she was without asking.
He turns away and walks towards the back of the police station.
"We can talk in my office."
He stops in front of the door to his office and looks back at Officer Xin.
"If anyone comes to find me, tell them I am in a meeting with an important person."
"Yes, sir."
Officer Xin politely nods her head like a good subordinate. She steps aside so that Yue Ling can follow after Chief Ren. Behind her (Yue Ling), Lin Hui took a step forward but paused when he noticed something.
He scans his surroundings and sees that all the police officers in the room are as stiff as a board. Even Officer Xin, who was still in a bowing position.
His eyes glanced to the room Chief Ren, and his boss had entered. He shrugs his shoulders with a nonchalant expression and walks away.
Once the three people were out of view, the stiff air that surrounded the room returned to normal.
Officer Xin sighed in relief and walked over to her desk. She sat down and looked like she had survived a storm.
"What was that about?"
Another officer asked from across her desk, and she looked at the person. She thought about how to answer then glanced at the door of Chief Ren's office.
"I'm not sure but seeing how the Chief personally came out to greet them, they must not be ordinary people."
She looks at everyone in the room, and her words continue.
"We should be cautious from now on and not make any mistakes."
When Lin Hui mentioned the incident earlier at the restaurant, she remembered Chief Ren's words when they left the scene.
He (Chief Ren) told her and the other officers that they were going to be visited by a very important person.
However, who is the important person?
Was it Lin Hui, who could leave a scene in front of the Chief, or the woman, whose eyes were like they could see into a person's soul?
"Wow, that hooligan actually came just like he said earlier. I thought he was going to run away. I was waiting for him not to show up so I could go arrest him myself."
A middle-aged officer chuckles, and everyone turns to look at him. He was one of the officers at the scene and had questioned the Chief why the Chief allow Lin Hui to go.
Officer Xin glares at the man for speaking out of line.
"Don't cross the line, Officer Rong. Did you forget what the Chief told us?"
The Chief of Police already made it clear. Whether it was Lin Hui or the woman, she can conclude that no one here should offend them in any way.
Hearing the way she belittled him, Officer Rong arrogantly snorts. He looks away without another word and pretends to go over some documents on his desk.
He doesn't know why the Chief is so respectful towards those two people, but he could care less about them. He sees them as troublemakers and should be put behind bars.
Unaware of the conversation that had taken place outside, Chief Ren sat down in his chair while Yue Ling and Lin Hui sat across from him.
A table separated them as there was a teapot and cups.
He pours the warm tea into three cups and passes them to the young woman and man.
"It's been a long time since I've seen you. How are you doing?"
Yue Ling gradually raises her hand and removes the mask covering the lower half of her face. She smiles at Chief Ren before picking up the cup of tea.
"Thank you for the tea. It has been a long time, and I am doing well."
Watching her drink the tea, Chief Ren sighs a smile. He picks up his cup and drinks the tea he poured for himself.
"How are you adjusting to life in Imperial?"
Lin Hui glanced between the two people and decided to stay quiet. He should let them catch up on life then join in later.
"It's not bad."
Yue Ling answered and set the cup of tea on the table that separated her and Chief Ren. She looked at the man and noticed how much he had aged since she last saw him.
"I apologize for not coming to see you sooner."
Chief Ren's heart softened at her. He smiles without saying a word and takes another sip of the tea before responding.
"No need to apologize. Everyone is busy with their own life, and I expected the same for you."
He has known Yue Ling since she was a child and saw her as his grandchild. He also understood the weight she carried on her shoulders.
Thinking about all the things Yue Ling had to go through, his heart hurt for her. She is so young, yet, she experienced more pain than him.
And despite all the hardships she had to go through, she was able to smile and pick herself back up.
His eyes turned soft, and he looked down at the cup of tea in his hand. Once he is able to stabilize his emotions, his head lifts back to look at her.
"If you ever need anything, remember that I am also here to help."
Yue Ling was grateful towards Chief Ren. He is a good friend of both her grandfathers and someone she respects.
However, due to her involvement with the underworld and his position as the Chief of Police, their relationship has to be kept confidential.
She wanted to reject his offer, but did not want to hurt the old man's feelings. Left with no other choice, she nods her head and gives him her word.
"I will keep your offer in mind."
Chief Ren heartily laughs at her response. He knows that despite her words, she will never seek his help.
It has been that way since she took over Fate and became the CEO of her companies.
As an elder who considers her his granddaughter, he can only support her in the dark.
Not wanting to dwell too much on the past, he remembers an article he read and clears his throat.
"I heard that you are getting married. I'm glad to hear that you are happy."
Yue Ling smiled at the mention of her wedding as Lu Tian's face entered her mind. She is happy and cannot wait to grow old with him.
How she wishes to go home to see him...
"I hope you are able to attend-"
*Bang-!
The second she wished to see Lu Tian, a loud bang sounded from the door as it cuts off her sentence.
Whoever it was, kicked the door opened with great force and was currently being detained by two officers.
