Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Without thinking, Zhang Yi jumped out of the car. This guy was talented and bold. He was just wondering how he could perform well in front of the beautiful boss. Therefore, the attacker’s appearance was exactly what he wanted.

The moment he jumped out of the car, the motorcycle that was rapidly shuttling through the traffic suddenly came to an abrupt stop. It was less than half a meter away from colliding with him.

“Do you have a f*cking death wish?” A woman’s voice came from the black helmet. Zhang Yi was stunned. Why was it a woman?

“I don’t have a f*cking death wish. Get down from there!” Zhang Yi took the opportunity to grab the woman’s hand.

“Zhang Yi, come back, come back.” The car window suddenly rolled down. Xu Jiayun stuck out her small head with an embarrassed look and said, “It’s not her. The person last night was a man…”

Zhang Yi’s hand stopped in mid-air and an interesting expression overtook his face.

The female driver was so angry that her chest was visibly heaving up and down. She also cursed, “What the f*ck is wrong with you? Get your hands off me!”

“Sorry, sorry, we didn’t do it on purpose,” Xu Jiayun apologized profusely.

“Beauty, I’m sorry. Yesterday, we met a biker gang here and they stole our wallets. We thought you were them. Sorry, sorry, please forgive us.” Zhang Yi put his palms together and apologized profusely.

“Psycho!” The female rider cursed in a low voice. The motorcycle continued to move forward, and Zhang Yi sat back down and quickly started the car.

The traffic light had turned green and many cars behind were honking.

Xu Jiayun remained silent, as did Zhang Yi, who was driving. The two of them did not talk about what happened just now, and for a moment, the car was very quiet.

“Why aren’t you saying anything? I thought you were going to blame me!” Some time and two turns later, Xu Jiayun finally said in a low voice.

Zhang Yi did not answer her. Instead, he continued to move forward according to the car’s navigation system.

Xu Jiayun was a little stunned. She had really angered Zhang Yi.

“I didn’t do it on purpose. I thought it was that person from last night,” she explained in a low voice again before resuming her silence.

“President Xu… if I answer your question, will my salary be deducted?” Zhang Yi asked in a low voice when he saw that Xu Jiayun was not saying anything.

“What? You’re not talking to me because you’re afraid of your salary being deducted?” Xu Jiayun flew into a rage when she heard Zhang Yi’s words. Zhang Yi was not talking to her because he was afraid of his salary being deducted?

“You didn’t let me talk before, so I didn’t dare to say anything. Actually, that incident just now was nothing. Why should I blame you? You’re a woman and you were greatly shocked last night. If you saw something similar again, it is only normal for you to have a conditioned reflex. Unfortunately, it wasn’t that b*stard. Otherwise, I would have crippled him!” Only then did Zhang Yi start talking.

“As long as you don’t spout nonsense, why would I deduct your salary?” Xu Jiayun said angrily.

“Hehe, that’s good.” Zhang Yi chuckled.

Xu Jiayun took a deep breath. To be honest, she had never met anyone like Zhang Yi in her entire life. At times, his personality made her want to laugh and cry at the same time, but occasionally, his sense of justice made her think highly of him.

Perhaps it was because of Zhang Yi’s sense of justice that sometimes, even when he said things that were out of line, she was not genuinely angry at him regardless of her stern tone.

Just now, when he heard that the motorcycle was the attacker from last night, he jumped out of the car without a second thought. He did not even consider the danger and so on. Therefore, this made her very… touched!

That was right, it was a kind of indescribable feeling. When he jumped down without looking back, she really thought highly of this talkative Zhang Yi.

He was a free and easy man. He was like a big boy, but also a real man. At the very least, he could make her feel at ease.

“Zhang Yi, can you tell me how you found the bomb so quickly yesterday? I’m very curious.” She calmed down and also remembered what happened yesterday. It was Zhang Yi who found the bomb yesterday!

“Do you want to hear the truth or lies?” Zhang Yi asked.

“Don’t be silly and don’t spout nonsense!” Xu Jiayun frowned.

“Okay, okay, okay. Actually, I used to like reading books, especially military books. I’ve also read books about bombs. How to accurately locate an enemy’s bomb? How to calmly analyze the enemy’s mentality before the bomb is planted? I’ve read a variety of these books. At that time, I thought that the person who planted the bomb couldn’t have used his ID card to open a room to plant the bomb. Because if he did, the explosion wouldn’t hurt anyone, right? So, the most likely place is somewhere crowded. As for our company, which floor had the most people?” Zhang Yi was simply spouting nonsense, but he made up an excuse to fool the boss.

“The second, third, and fourth floor!” Xu Jiayun replied.

“That’s right. The second, third, and fourth floors, especially the Chinese restaurant on the third floor. There are a lot of people who come for Chinese food during lunch. So, I first went to the second floor. When I didn’t find anything suspicious, I ran up to the third floor. I originally planned to carefully look for it on the third floor, but with a glance, I saw a bag under a table. With one look, I knew it was definitely a bomb.”

“I didn’t expect you to be so skilled. So you like reading military books, is there a soldier in your family?” Xu Jiayun asked with a smile.

“I admire soldiers. I wanted to join the army in the past, but because of… Well, forget it, let’s not talk about it!” Zhang Yi shook his head and did not continue. There was no need to tell outsiders about his family matters.

Xu Jiayun did not continue asking.

“We’ve arrived at the Chaoyang Police Station. Do you want me to go in with you?” A moment later, Zhang Yi parked the car outside the police station and asked.

“Yes.” Xu Jiayun nodded slightly and hummed.

Zhang Yi got out of the car and helped Xu Jiayun open the car door.

“You don’t have to open the door. Don’t do this in the future. Also, go back to the office in the afternoon and change your clothes. Why are you still wearing the security uniform?” Xu Jiayun glanced at Zhang Yi’s pants, his pants were the security uniform’s pants. He was wearing a jacket, but it looked very worn, and the color had slightly faded from all the washing.

“What’s wrong with the security uniform? I’m a security guard, and I’m proud of it!” Zhang Yi said smugly.

Xu Jiayun was amused by him, but she also muttered, “Why does that sound familiar…”

“It’s the Spring Festival Gala. It’s in a skit. Haven’t you seen it before? I’m a security guard, and I’m proud of it!” Zhang Yi laughed loudly.

“Ah, I remember now. But you’d better change. You look too… old-fashioned…” Xu Jiayun said while holding back her laughter. Then, she strode into the police station.

Zhang Yi’s mouth twitched. He did not bring many sets of clothes with him when he came to Beijing. He also wanted to wear a suit and tie, but he had to have the spare money.

Since Xu Jiayun had an appointment with the police officer to make a statement, after they entered the police station, Zhang Yi was arranged to wait in the corridor while Xu Jiayun made the statement alone.

If the police wanted to solve the case, they had to know all the details of last night.

After a full hour and a half, Xu Jiayun walked out.

“Where are we going now? Back to the company?” After getting into the car again, Zhang Yi glanced at her through the rearview mirror. To be honest, Zhang Yi did not dare to look at her. It was not that he was afraid of her, but rather he did not want to tempt himself into committing a crime with his consciousness. Xu Jiayun was simply too beautiful. Just by looking at her face, he had the urge to be on top of her. Let alone the urge to see through her with her consciousness.

Therefore, he did not look at her. The more he looked, the more he wanted to commit a crime.

“Well, we’re not going back to the office for now. Accompany me to the mall. You’re staying at my place tonight, so I need to prepare a set of shoes and the like.”

“There’s no need for that, I have them in my dorm.” Zhang Yi started the car and prepared to return to the office.

“You can’t move your things. Tomorrow, when you have time to go to the office, you can just take two sets of clothes to change. Also, if other colleagues ask you where you’re living, you can’t tell them you’re living at my place!”

“Then what should I say?” Zhang Yi was a little speechless. He was going to live with her, but she did not want to make it public?

“You can say whatever you want, but you can’t tell them you’re living at my place!” Xu Jiayun said anxiously..
