I'm in the Ark, a player.

As she stepped out of the break room, police officers passing by in the corridor nodded to her. Carrying her coffee, she walked unhurriedly towards her office in her high heels.

Then she saw Chen Huijie walking towards her.

"How's the Anchor River Gang's investigation going?"

Shi Huaiya asked casually.

"There's been some progress, but not much; they're very cunning."

Chen Huijie said with a headache,

The things Qin Tianling brought back from his previous infiltration were indeed very useful.

The technical department unearthed a considerable amount of information from those ledgers, helping the Guard Bureau confirm that the Anchor River Gang was indeed smuggling contraband, and that the scale of the transactions was definitely not something a single leader could orchestrate.

The problem is, she's a bit stuck now.

The chain of evidence is missing several links, the leads to be traced upstream have run dry, and the time is not yet right to make arrests downstream.

Even with Qin Tianling, a formidable double-edged sword, she had no use for it.

"Oh, right,"

Swire seemed to suddenly remember something and asked,

"Why haven't I seen you riding your motorcycle to work lately?"

"Could it be broken?"

Chen Huijie clearly loved that motorcycle when she bought it. She would ride it almost every time she went out, even when it wasn't suitable for carrying things back from shopping.

Why haven't I seen her open her shop lately?

"I've recently taken to walking. Walking is healthy and it's good exercise."

Chen Hui responded without changing her expression.

"is it?"

Swire's intuition told her that something was still amiss, but she nodded without saying anything.

At this moment, a member of the Guard Bureau jogged over and reported to Chen Huijie.

"Inspector Chan, we have a prisoner we just arrested who wants to see you."

"Is it a man? He speaks strangely, constantly muttering incomprehensible words like 'Xiaoxing'?"

"No, no, it's a female Liberi, red-haired, Lateran."

He was just arrested and brought back because he used explosive weapons in the city and got into a fight with members of the Iron One Association.

"Latlanders?"

No wonder they like to use explosive weapons.

Chen Huijie nodded and continued to ask.

"Has anyone been injured by the blast wave?"

“There was a minor leader in the Iron One, but now he’s willing to be a witness and expose the dirty work and bad things the Iron One has done.”

"Were any facilities damaged in the bombing?"

"The public roads are somewhat damaged, but otherwise there are no major problems."

Chen Huijie nodded slightly.

No innocent civilians were injured, there was no major property damage, and only a minor gang leader was killed in the bombing, so thankfully the problem wasn't too serious.

Why did she say she wanted to see me?

Chen Huijie continued to ask.

"She didn't actually say she wanted to see Inspector Chan directly,"

The officer answered truthfully.

"She just kept saying she wanted to see a blue-haired police officer named Vaiva, and he was carrying two knives on his back, one red and one plain."

I think only Inspector Chen fits this physical description.

"Is she your informant?"

Hearing this, Swire looked at Chen Huijie with some curiosity and asked,

The reason the junior officer approached Chan Fai-kit was probably because he was afraid they might be arresting an informant Chan Fai-kit had planted in the gang fight, thus ruining Chan Sir's important plans.

To everyone's surprise, Chen Huijie also shook her head with a puzzled expression.

"No, I don't know anyone from Lateran who is Liboli."

"So Li Boli was just having delusions?"

Shi Huai-ya complained,

She always felt that the Liberi race was sometimes subtly strange.

The junior officer on the other side thought for a moment and then added a sentence.

"Oh, right, she also said that she was one of Qin Tianling's people."

"Qintianling?"

Upon hearing this name, Chen Huijie's expression immediately turned serious.

"I understand. Leave her there for now, I'll handle it myself in a bit."

"Yes, sir!"

The young police officer saluted, turned around, and ran back.

Swire, holding her coffee, looked at Chen Huijie with some curiosity.

"So Qin Tianling is one of your people?"

How come I didn't know when Chen Huijie developed this network?

"Qin Tianling... let's just say he's one of my men."

Chen Huijie said hesitantly,

She paused, glancing at Swire's somewhat curious face.

She sensed that the char siu cat seemed inexplicably interested, so she spoke up to warn it.

"I don't know what you're thinking, but it's best not to get involved with Qin Tianling."

Given Qin Tianling's abilities, Shi Huaiya couldn't possibly handle him.

"Sigh, yes, yes, you can manage your own informants, I'm not going to bother with them!"

Swire waved his hand, picked up his coffee, and walked into his office.

—Hehe, I was just kidding!

Chen Huijie, the more you say that, the more interested I become!

Back in her office, Swire closed the door, placed her coffee cup on the table, walked to the window, and reached out to open the blinds a crack.

Her office window was in a great position, offering a direct view of the Guard Bureau entrance.

Swire continued working on the stack of documents on his desk while occasionally glancing up to keep an eye on the activity outside the Guard Bureau.

She didn't have to wait long.

A moment later, a red-haired Liberi appeared at the entrance of the Guard Bureau.

Her bright orange hair stood out in the sunlight. She walked out of the door and stood on the steps, her expression seemingly somewhat bewildered.

They were released?

Did Chen Huijie put it there?

So fast?

Swire stood up and used two fingers to widen the gap in the blinds a little more.

A while later, a man appeared at the entrance of the Guard Bureau on a motorcycle; he had come to pick up Liboli.

The man had black hair, was in his early twenties, and looked harmless.

It seems this must be the Qin Tianling that Chen Huijie mentioned.

For some reason, Swire felt that this guy looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him before.

It seems like they said something else?

Swire was absolutely unable to hear this, but her eyesight was excellent; she read lip movements.

"Want a motorcycle taxi?"

That's what the man seemed to say.

She wasn't sure if she read it correctly, but that didn't matter. What mattered was—the motorcycle the other person was driving!

That's Chen Huijie's motorcycle!

Chen Huijie spent several months' salary to buy this precious motorcycle!

He's currently being ridden by that guy named Qin Tianling!

Swire's eyes narrowed.

This doesn't make sense, does it?

Swire's keen intuition told her that something was amiss.

If she were just an informant, would Chen Huijie lend her motorcycle to Qin Tianling?

If it were just an informant, would Chen Huijie voluntarily release a criminal for the sake of an informant?

Moreover, Chen Huijie's attitude towards Qin Tianling seemed somewhat abnormal.

Qin Tianling... is he more than just Chen Huijie's informant?

What is his relationship with Chen Huijie?

Swire pondered for a long time, countless possibilities flashing through her mind.

Finally, she came to a conclusion that she herself found hard to believe.

"so--"

Shi Huaiya murmured to herself, tapping lightly twice on the window frame with her fingers.

"Is Qin Tianling Chen Huijie's kept man?"

Chapter 46, I, Char Siu Cat, will save the Pink Sausage Dragon! (Bonus Chapter)

That idea is just too outrageous!

Swire felt that the conclusion he had just reached was somewhat outrageous.

How could a tomboy like Chen Huijie possibly do something like keeping a gigolo?!

Let alone keeping a gigolo,

Even if Chen Huijie were to date this Qin Tianling, I still find it impossible!

Please!

She is Chen Huijie!

Chen Huijie!!!

Puzzled, Swire picked up her coffee and took another sip. The cold coffee was even more bitter, and even the brown sugar and milk foam couldn't quite mask it.

But she didn't pay attention; her mind was still racing, still thinking.

No, that's not right...
