Transmigrated into a female-oriented novel, and put an end to the domineering CEOs all over the city

After a long time, she finally couldn't resist and turned to look at him.

The light from the streetlamp swept across his face, clearly outlining the chiseled features of his domineering CEO-like features.

She looked at his profile and asked again, "Lu Jingxiu, if I can't be a policeman anymore... will you think I'm useless?"

Lu Jingxiu didn't answer immediately, but instead drove steadily and asked, "What happened?"

Lin Yutang bit her lower lip and rolled down the car window a crack.

A night breeze suddenly rushed in, making her a little more awake and also diluting some of the pleasant scents in the carriage.

Then, she mustered all her strength, took a few deep breaths, and said, "I had a fight with my boss tonight, and he told me to suspend my duties and go home to reflect on my actions."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Lu Jingxiu nervously, afraid of seeing disappointment on his face.

She quickly added, "I didn't do anything wrong."

As if defending herself, she hadn't become the kind of person who was ungrateful and didn't cherish opportunities.

After listening, Lu Jingxiu smiled and asked, "What did you two argue about?"

Lin Yutang breathed a sigh of relief.

She slowly began to tell him about what had happened that night.

As Lu Jingxiu listened, his brows furrowed more and more, and in the end, he almost couldn't help but curse.

In other words, if it weren't for that Captain Gao's dawdling and hesitation tonight, my team, Feng Aotian, would have already raided Mo Yan's lair.

That thing can't run away? Run away my ass!

The results of it?

Because of Gao's indecisiveness and procrastination, the most crucial few hours were wasted, allowing Mo Yan to escape unscathed.

The only person rescued was a female college student who had been imprisoned.

This is not finished.

Lin Yutang wanted to continue the investigation, but the other party retaliated by suspending her from her duties and sending her home.

What's the difference between this and the mid laner getting their internet cable unplugged by a random random player before the team fight even starts?!

He grew angrier the more he thought about it, but he didn't show it on his face; he just drove quietly.

The carriage fell silent for a moment.

Lin Yutang panicked even more when she saw that he didn't speak.

She thought he was angry, or that he felt useless, so she spoke first, her voice low: "I'm fine."

Even she herself didn't believe it when she said that.

She was actually extremely regretful.

She regretted arguing with Gao Shan, regretted not being more patient, and regretted whether she had squandered the opportunity Lu Jingxiu had given her again.

She knew better than anyone that the man in front of her had paved the way for her—a woman with no education, no background, and no normal social connections—to become an auxiliary police officer and eventually a full-fledged officer.

She had no idea how much effort he had put in, whether it was asking for favors or making introductions on her behalf.

But she knew it would be no easy task.

He rescued her from Trish, gave her a new life, a new job, and a decent uniform.

She would never forget this kindness.

But it was precisely because she dared not forget that she was especially afraid, afraid that her recklessness would damage his reputation.

She was afraid that others would say behind her back, "Look, the people Lu Jingxiu put in are really no good."

But now, she's doing something utterly shameful.

She lowered her head, her voice unconsciously trembling with a sob: "Lu Jingxiu, have I... caused you any trouble?"

As soon as the words left my mouth, I couldn't hold back my tears.

She quickly turned her head, facing the car window, suppressing a sob, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have argued with my boss, I... I could have held back..."

Lu Jingxiu remained silent.

He was mentally calculating how to handle this situation when he heard Lin Yutang's voice grow softer and softer until it was almost inaudible:

"I'm sorry... Did I... make you waste your time again?"

Lu Jingxiu did so much for her, put in so much effort, and used so many connections.

Before she could repay this kindness, she messed things up.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she was a terrible person.

Lu Jingxiu then realized that he had been lost in thought, and the sisters were almost in tears.

He reassured her, "It's okay. I think you did the right thing tonight. If Mo Yan had continued running around, who knows how many more innocent girls would have been harmed by him."

"You are very brave, you did the right thing."

Lin Yutang was stunned.

She thought she would be scolded or that Lu Jingxiu would say something like "too impulsive".

But he actually said she was brave.

But she felt even worse inside, because she knew better than anyone that the trouble she had caused shouldn't be his responsibility to solve.

The more casually he spoke, the more she felt she owed him.

"Don't worry, I'll help you figure something out tomorrow." As if he had guessed what she was thinking, Lu Jingxiu added, "You're pretty tired today too. Go back, take a shower, get a good night's sleep, and we'll discuss it again tomorrow."

Lin Yutang didn't say anything more, but just gave a muffled "hmm".

She dared not speak again, afraid that if she did, she would really burst into tears.

Time passed slowly, and the car drove through half of the city before finally stopping downstairs at Lin Yutang's house.

Then the two of them sat quietly in the car for a little while.

After a long pause, Lu Jingxiu spoke first: "I'll come see you again tomorrow. If there's any news, I'll send you a message in advance."

Lin Yutang nodded.

She lowered her head, not daring to look at his face: "Thank you for tonight... really, thank you so much. Please be careful on your way home."

After saying this, she smiled, slowly pushed open the car door, got out of the car, and waved to Lu Jingxiu from the side.

After Lu Jingxiu's car disappeared, she took out a piece of candy, unwrapped it, put it in her mouth, and then walked towards the entrance of the building.

When Lu Jingxiu returned home, his parents were already resting. Only a floor lamp was on in the living room, casting a yellow light on a small area around the sofa.

Lu Na was leaning against the sofa, a blanket draped over her. Her head was tilted to the side, her eyes were closed, and she was hugging a pillow. She was obviously asleep.

Lu Jingxiu was stunned. He hadn't expected that Lu Na had been waiting for him in the living room all this time.

He quietly changed his shoes and went to the bathroom to wash his hands first.

When he returned to the living room, Lu Na was no longer on the sofa.

The blanket was neatly folded and placed to one side, and the cushions were put back in their original positions.

Just as he was wondering, he heard light footsteps coming from the kitchen.

Lu Na came out of the kitchen, holding a cup in her hand, with wisps of steam rising from the rim.

"Brother, have some water first." She gave a slight smile.

Lu Jingxiu smiled and ruffled his sister's furry head. It felt wonderful.

He finished his drink in one gulp before asking, "Why didn't you go back to your room to sleep?"

"I can't sleep if you don't come back," Lu Na pushed him towards the bathroom. "Go take a shower, I'm going to sleep."

When Lu Jingxiu came out after taking a shower, Lu Na's room door was already closed.

Lu Jingxiu silently went into his room, turned off the lights, and went to sleep.
