334 Bad Feng Shui (2/2)

Su Zheng pouted unhappily. ”It's all because this man kept wanting to come to Feng Yuan City. He was already prepared to sacrifice his body to Anthony, but who knows what happened to him? It seems he decided to abandon his 'true love'.”

Cedrick's lips twitched, and his face was filled with black lines, ”I assure, you I have no such thoughts toward Anthony.”

”I'm just joking, but the meaning's almost the same.” Su Zheng shrugged and then chatted happily. ”But it's a good thing that we ran into you, Brother Ye. Now that you and Miss Ye have left San Lin City, do you know how bored I've been? We discussed this with Mr. Han, and he said that Cedrick currently has a black history and is being targeted, so while going out is no problem, there has to be someone accompanying him. Thus, here I am!”

Ye Shuang nodded to show understanding. She was about to say something when the plainclothes gasped. ”Cedrick the Gentleman?”

Su Zheng turned around with shock, and she raised her brows to praise. ”Young man, you have a good eye!”

”…” Ye Shuang.

The plainclothes scratched his head and looked at Ye Shuang with embarrassment before turning to look at Cedrick. ”Cough! Actually, my family suggested that I go to Interpol before, and the Gentleman just caused an international scene in China, so of course I know of him.”

The so-called international scene was… the famed incident where he was captured when stealing a car. Being reminded of his failure made Cedrick's face drop, and he glared angrily at the plainclothes.

Ye Shuang did not say anything but nodded. ”Interpol, you say… Hmm, it sounds nice on paper, but in reality, it is someone who uploads and manages the crime files of global criminals. In other words, it's the data compiler within the global law enforcement system.”

The post was indeed perfect for a newbie like the young man, without much danger but high in profile. As a way to develop his future, it was not bad, and it was no surprise that his family would choose this route for him.

Yet, the plainclothes was not satisfied. ”But I don't like it. Being in Interpol is not as exciting as joining the local force, so my dad said that if I can participate in a big case, then I can pick my own future career path.”

Ye Shuang showed pity. ”And then you were tricked into coming to the film set?”

Even if the case was settled, the plainclothes would not have made any contribution.

”Of course! I believe I will find the crucial clue!” the plainclothes said confidently. The young man not only did not know that he was being protected by his family but seriously thought that he was being an important member of the case.

Ye Shuang held her forehead, not knowing how to describe the young man anymore.

Su Zheng blinked, and after hearing their conversation for a while, she finally asked, ”Brother Ye, who is this young man?”

Ye Shuang mumbled an answer and helped introduce the two. ”He's a plainclothes officer, currently working undercover at Celebrity Luo's film set, investigating the case of missing firearms.”

”Oh.” Su Zheng nodded and asked, ”When did the force drop to such a level? During the era when my stepfather was working the street, a newbie of such a level had to be thrown back into the oven to be baked.”

The plainclothes was first saddened before exploding. ”And who are you‽”

Ye Shuang held her forehead again. ”This is one of my employees… Hmm, I guess she's a freelancer.”

”Freelancer? That's just a different way to say a layabout.” The plainclothes huffed with condescension. ”Since you don't know anything, don't run your mouth. You're lucky to have run into someone who is as nice as I am. If it was someone else, you'd have been scolded already!”

Su Zheng was stunned from the sudden explosion. After she recovered, she gritted her teeth, and her fingers tweedled dangerously. She was about to attack when her hands were grabbed by Ye Shuang.

”Don't!” Ye Shuang let out a very long sigh. It had been a tiring night. It was one thing to deal with a newbie plainclothes, and now there was a Su Zheng, who wanted to watch the world burn, and a Cedrick that had no limits. Did Feng Yuan City have such bad Feng Shui? Why else would she keep running into bad things?

”…Fine, I'll give Brother Ye face!” Su Zheng swallowed the grievances. She glared angrily at the young man to memorize his face. It is never too late for revenge. If you dare, don't ever escape from Brother Ye's side, or else I will make sure to steal even your underwear!

Ye Shuang pulled Su Zheng down to sit on the sofa. She turned to Cedrick politely to change the topic. ”Mr. Cedrick, I'm sure you won't do anything to make life difficult for us in Feng Yuan City, right?”

The plainclothes ordered a cup of coffee and settled down to listen to gossip. Cedrick looked at the plainclothes and then at Ye Shuang. He shrugged. ”That, I cannot guarantee. After all, I came here because I have a wish to fulfill.”
