After hanging up with Rose, Li Du tried calling Sophie again but the call could not be connected.

Evidently, Sophie had boarded the airplane and turned her phone off.

He called Big Quinn and Godzilla to head over with him to McCarran International Airport to await Sophie.

Having just suffered a kidnapping, he felt ill at ease when he could not contact Sophie. Although he knew that the chances of Sophie being kidnapped were low, he still couldn't dispel that fear.

He inquired about the flight from Flagstaff to Las Vegas. The distance was short. The plane landed soon after they arrived at the airport.

Ten minutes after the plane landed, he estimated that Sophie would have entered the airport by then, so he called her from the entrance of the airport.

As soon as he had dialed the number, Godzilla used his elbow to nudge him gently. In response, he asked, ”What is it?”

Godzilla pointed at the crowd in front of them and said, ”Lady Boss and Lady Robocop.”

”What's with Lady Robocop?” Li Du asked in puzzlement.

Godzilla shrugged without answering. He was an enigma who wouldn't speak unnecessarily.

Big Quinn answered for him. ”It's the nickname Big Fox gave Officer Rose. The last time at the CS competition, Officer Rose was such a toughie, just like Robocop Murphy.”

Godzilla nodded, his face indicating that he felt the same way.

Li Du couldn't care less about how the nickname had come about. He looked into the crowd and spotted both Sophie and Rose.

Sophie was always dressed so elegantly. She was in a pale blue parka with a short, snow-white lace dress.

The dress's off-shoulder style accentuated the graceful arcs of her collarbones and shoulders, while the high-waisted, bottom-hugging design drew attention to Sophie's slender curves.

Rose was looking suave in her police uniform, with her hand holding on to her police cap. Her jet-black hair was pulled back into a ponytail at the back of her head, while her slender legs were concealed under her blue pants.

The two ladies, while presenting two different styles and appeal, had attracted the admiring glances from many tourists.

On seeing him, Sophie's furrowed brows relaxed. The look of surprise on her face was soon followed by a smile – then she sprinted over.

Li Du enveloped her in an embrace. ”I told you I'm fine. Why did you have to come over?”

Sophie looked up at him and gave him a cheeky smile. ”Are you sure that's the first thing you should be saying to me? Which is to reproach me?”

Li Du was momentarily stunned. ”I love you. When I was kidnapped, you were the biggest motivation behind my escape.”

Rose pursed her lips and said, ”You're so unfilial. Sophie was the only one you thought of then?”

Li Du sighed. ”Of course, my parents, too.”

”And? Your good brothers, followers, Ah Meow, Ah Ow and Crispy Noodles, and your landlord who gives you a place to stay. . .”

Li Du got frustrated. ”I remember all of you. All of you were my motivation to stay alive, every single one of you.”

Sophie giggled and patted his arm. ”Be nice, Officer Rose decided to come with me to Las Vegas as soon as she heard you were kidnapped.”

Li Du was indeed touched, but he couldn't bring himself to say anything affectionate to Rose, so he changed the topic. ”Did you apply for leave?”

Rose said icily, ”Where would I find the time to?”

Li Du looked at her with all sincerity. ”Thank you for your concern, Rose. Thanks for being absent from work to come see me.”
