You're already divorced, why are you so anxious about him becoming a succubus?

Just as the questioning was coming to an end, the meeting room door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

A girl in a police uniform strode in.

"Mr. Lu, I didn't expect to meet you again."

The girl's voice was clear and strong, carrying a hint of the decisiveness unique to police officers.

She walked to the long table and pulled out a chair next to the two male police officers.

The girl had neat, shoulder-length short hair, defined features, and no trace of makeup on her face, yet she exuded a cool and confident beauty.

Hearing this familiar opening, Lu Ci was slightly taken aback.

Looking at the strikingly handsome face before him, he thought for a moment and finally remembered the woman's identity.

The first time I came to the police station to handle Gu Mingxuan's case, it was this dashing female police officer who questioned me.

If he remembered correctly, her name seemed to be... Zhuang Xuan.

Lu Ci smiled gently and greeted him politely, "Officer Zhuang, it's been a long time."

Zhuang Xuan nodded, her sharp eyes subtly scanning Lu Ci from head to toe, then glancing at Qin Meng sitting beside him, who seemed to have a close relationship with him. Finally, her gaze returned to Lu Ci's face, and she said with a half-smile:

"Mr. Lu is truly a man of great talent. I just watched the surveillance footage at the entrance of Wangjiang Mingyuan, and to be honest, I had no idea you were actually a martial arts expert."

One person, unarmed, took down eight professional thugs armed with weapons in less than a minute. That skill... is not something an ordinary person can possess.

Facing Zhuang Xuan's scrutinizing and probing gaze, Lu Ci remained unfazed and offered his usual platitudes:

"Officer Zhuang, you flatter me. I'm under a lot of work pressure, and I'm quite interested in mixed martial arts, so I've been practicing a little bit to improve my health."

Did I just practice a little bit haphazardly?

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Xuan did not respond, but instead gave Lu Ci a deep look.

A woman's intuition, coupled with the keen sense she gained from years of criminal investigation, made her feel that the handsome man in front of her was full of mystery.

Just before entering the conference room, Zhuang Xuan specifically looked up background information about "Lu Ci".

Do not check, I don’t know, I’m scared.

This man is not only a top-tier singer and the leading man in big-budget movies, but he also has an antique appraisal skills and is a top chef whose dishes are worth tens of thousands of dollars.

And just the day before yesterday, he even won a stage of the World Rally Championship (WRC).

Today, he demonstrated a fighting level that may even surpass that of their police SWAT instructors.

However, there was no record in the files they had of this man learning these skills.

How could someone reach such a pinnacle level in so many seemingly unrelated skills before the age of thirty?!

Looking at Lu Ci's calm and collected face, a popular internet slang term suddenly popped into Zhuang Xuan's mind uncontrollably.

"Such illogical omnipotence... Could this guy be a 'walking multi-million dollar'?!"

In the conference room, Zhuang Xuan withdrew the scrutinizing gaze from her eyes and continued speaking:

"Mr. Lu, we have just tracked down the two vans used in the crime by monitoring the surveillance footage and found them on a beach in the suburbs."

"However, the license plates were all fake, and the interior of the car was cleaned very thoroughly, so the clues that could be extracted were very limited."

"These people were very cautious. After their crime failed, they immediately left Jiangcheng by private boat."

Zhuang Xuan paused, her tone becoming serious: "This is an organized and premeditated case of hiring someone to commit assault."

"Our police will continue to expand the search area. We will contact you as soon as we have any news."

"Of course, if Mr. Lu recalls any new clues during this period, or encounters danger again, please be sure to inform us in time."

Lu Ci leaned back in his chair and nodded calmly: "No problem, thank you for your hard work, police."

He knew very well that with China's all-encompassing criminal investigation system, it was only a matter of time before they found out about these people, and with so many of them, they definitely couldn't escape.

But the problem is, these people act so professionally and decisively that even if they are eventually arrested by the police, do those low-level thugs who are paid to do things really know who their backers are?

The feeling of being watched in the dark, with the possibility of being stabbed in the back at any moment, made Lu Ci feel very uncomfortable.

He wasn't too worried about his safety, since most people wouldn't be able to hurt him with just melee weapons without using "American Iaijutsu".

What he fears most is that the people around him will get hurt.

Just like at the entrance of the residential area, that bread truck drove straight at him and Qin Meng without hesitation.

……

It was past 10 p.m. when I left the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

Lu Ci's original flight to Hengdian was already 10,000 meters in the air.

Lu Ci knew he wouldn't be able to get back to the film set tonight, so he could only rebook his flight for tomorrow morning on his phone, planning to go back to his villa in Wangjiang Mingyuan to rest for the night.

However, Qin Meng, who was beside him, held his hand, her eyes filled with lingering fear.

Recalling the terrifying scene on the roadside, Qin Meng's heart was still pounding.

Although Lu Ci was really good at fighting, she was still worried about letting him go back alone in the middle of the night.

"Lu Ci, let's not go back to the villa..." Qin Meng squeezed Lu Ci's hand: "What if... what if those people didn't leave at all, but were just setting up a smokescreen for the police, and are still lurking near your house?"

Lu Ci found it somewhat amusing to hear the silly girl's worries.

Those people aren't stupid, otherwise we should really take them to get their IQs tested.

At this point, the police are searching for them all over the world. If they still dare to run back to the crime scene to lie in wait, they're just asking for trouble.

However, Lu Ci didn't expose him. Instead, he went along with it, showing a very troubled expression and shrugging his hands:

"What should we do? We can't go back to the villa, and I can't just spend the night lying on a chair in the airport waiting hall in this freezing weather, can I?"

Lu Ci's original intention was to naturally steer the conversation toward "Let's go to a hotel and get a room."

But before he could fully prepare his words, Qin Meng blurted out:

"Come to my place! You can sleep in my bedroom, and I'll sleep on the sofa in the living room."

"Uh..." Lu Ci's eye twitched, and he hurriedly tried to salvage the situation, saying with a righteous expression, "How can this be? Sleeping on the sofa is so uncomfortable, why don't we go to..."

"I'm not feeling unwell." Qin Meng tilted her pretty face up and interrupted him earnestly, "The sofa in the living room of this rented apartment is quite large and comfortable."

After saying that, without giving Lu Ci a chance to refute, Qin Meng grabbed his hand and walked to the side of the road to flag down a taxi.

Lu Ci looked at the opened car door, sighed with disappointment, and reluctantly got in.

What the hell is this...?

But thinking about it, going to my house isn't a bad idea either; wouldn't that be a classic case of "inviting a wolf into the house"?
