158 The Second Time (2/2)

The deputy officer standing behind him opened his mouth and said, ”This is a necessary procedure...”

Hui Yin didn't let him finish. ”Officers, with all due respect, I still have something important that I need to do. How about I leave my contact information with you? Would that be okay?”

Lu Shen tugged at her coat and shook his head again. His face was drained of color, mere millimeters away from having a panic attack.

Hui Yin did her best to ignore him. Fortunately, the chief police officer seemed to consider her words and didn't make it too difficult for her. He gestured at the police officer behind the front desk and he brought out with him a couple of forms that she needed to fill up.

”Then, Miss Hui, I'll be leaving with Mr. Lu.”

The chief officer slightly tilted his head towards her. With a brief wave of his hand, he instructed the other officers to escort Lu Shen out of the lobby. There was a side door meters away from the entrance that led to the police station's parking lot.

But Lu Shen didn't want to leave her. Hui Yin had barely taken the pen and the forms when they were snatched away from her hands. Lifted and hugged, Hui Yin found herself pressed against Lu Shen. His arm was supporting her butt, and to avoid falling down, she had to put her arms around his neck. To her complete embarrassment, he was cradling her like a child.

”No,” he repeated.

Hui Yin stilled when she heard him speak. Although a bit uncertain, she could hear the trace of authority in his tone. He sounded like the Lu Shen that she knew.

No, she must not let their fates intersect again!

This gave Hui Yin the resolve to wiggle down before doing a violent head-butt against his chin. His hold on her completely loosened, and the police officers took this opportunity to restrain him.

He still looked a bit dazed, but there was no mistaking the pain in his eyes. Hui Yin didn't know whether it was the pain from her assault or her betrayal.

”I'm sorry.” She could only sincerely apologize. She mustn't waste the opportunity Yue Lao had given her.

Lu Shen struggled. He was a hard opponent when he was determined to escape. About five police officers had to avoid his punches and kicks to keep him controlled.

When they were nearly out of the side door, he shot her an extremely desperate look.

”Hui Yin, please don't leave...”

It was the second time he said 'please' to her.

It was also the second time she refused him.

Hui Yin picked up the pen and the forms she dropped, before going to the front desk to write her contact information. It was only when she saw how squiggly the second character of her name looked that she realized her hands were slightly trembling.

His desperate look kept coming to the forefront of her mind...

Was she wrong to let them take him away?

Hui Yin was in the middle of writing down her address when the unmistakable sound of a gunshot rang out.
