Dashing Student

Chapter 219 - 219, Shooting Oneself in the Foot

Jiang Li, expressionless, said, "As a public servant, falsely reporting an incident already violates the public security regulations, so you need to come with us to accept punishment."

Han Fei’s expression suddenly changed, a strong sense of despair spreading within him.

For public servants, what they value most is a clean record.

A clean record is critically important for career advancement.

But now,

once taken to the police station, his record would no longer be clean!

Thinking of this, a strong sense of regret rose within him; had he known, he would never have made that emergency call.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been taken by the police station.

He himself made the emergency call and got himself taken away—is this even possible?

This is simply shooting oneself in the foot!

Of course, Han Fei had not realized the seriousness of the matter. Even if he was not taken away by the police station, his career would have come to an end.

Because he should never have come to seal the "Guo Cha" store at night.

His purpose was too apparent, any sensible person would know his intentions were not pure.

"Clear out!"

Jiang Li said indifferently, glancing at Chen Nan expressionlessly, then turned and walked away with several policemen toward the distance.

"Xiaoyu, the store is operating normally, I have to leave first," Chen Nan said to Nie Xiaoyu, then quickly followed Jiang Li.

Chen Nan smiled and said, "Beauty, may I have a word with you?"

Jiang Li looked toward the other policemen, signaling them to go ahead, then coldly turned to Chen Nan, "What do you want to say?"

Chen Nan bitterly laughed, "It’s not like we have any deep grudges against each other, and I haven’t broken the law, so you don’t need to be so hostile toward me, right?"

Jiang Li sneered, her eyes filled with chill, "You said I have a hormonal imbalance, lack a man’s nourishment, and also said I have small breasts. Isn’t this a deep grudge?"

"I..." Chen Nan’s face turned awkward, "That incident last time was stirred up by Qian Xiaojia, he insulted my girlfriend first. You tried to arrest me without understanding the situation, and in my anger, I said those things, which were not my true intentions."

"That is, although it wasn’t my intention, but I indeed offended you."

"Here, I formally apologize to you and I hope you will be generous enough not to take those past words to heart," he said, bowing to Jiang Li.

"Tell me, what do you want?" Jiang Li’s expression was still indifferent, but her tone had softened slightly.

Although Chen Nan’s words from the previous weeks had deeply hurt her,

she had also reflected on it afterward.

Her attitude while enforcing the law indeed had issues.

Plus, Chen Nan’s apologetic demeanor was sincere, so she decided to forgive the past grievances.

Chen Nan gravely said, "I have observed your features, and between your brows lurks Evil Qi. Your fortune is intertwined with ominous omens, and your life palace appears dim, as if covered by dark clouds..."

Jiang Li frowned, her impatience cutting Chen Nan off, "What exactly are you trying to say?"

Chen Nan spoke forcefully, "Within three days, you will face a life-threatening disaster."

Jiang Li sneered, "Do you think this lady would believe your nonsense?" She then walked away, unwilling to engage with Chen Nan.

Her impression of Chen Nan was not good to begin with, not to mention, he even cursed her with a disaster.

"I am not lying," Chen Nan pursued her, appreciating her fearless character and courage, a rarity, especially in public service careers. He did not want to just watch her fall into danger. That’s why he followed her, hoping she would take this matter seriously.

However,

Chen Nan was also puzzled. Previously, when assessing someone’s features, he could clearly see the imminent events in their fate.

But when it came to Jiang Li, he could only see a rough timeline.

He knew,

his destiny must have somehow intersected with Jiang Li’s, otherwise, this situation would not have occurred.

"So what now?" Jiang Li stopped in her tracks, looking at him indifferently, "Does this miss have to ask you for help to avert a disaster?"

Chen Nan shook his head, "No one can resolve the omens that have already appeared in one’s life palace. All we can do is stay in a place that is as safe as possible."

"In this world, is there any place safer than a police station?" Jiang Li left these words behind, entered the police car, and then disappeared from Chen Nan’s sight.

Chen Nan was left speechless, standing in place.

Indeed!

There was no place under heaven safer than a police station.

That being said.

But Chen Nan trusted his own judgment; he had seen a vision of a bloody disaster in Jiang Li’s life palace.

"Consider it a debt I owed you in a past life!" Chen Nan sighed helplessly.

With others, after giving advice, whether they listened or not was their own business.

Even if they died, Chen Nan wouldn’t feel any pity.

But for some reason.

He just didn’t want to see Jiang Li perish.

After hailing a taxi and driving for over ten minutes, Chen Nan arrived at the Fuqian police station.

Jizhou was an ancient city of a thousand years, the district had an old prefectural Yamen, which had now become a cultural heritage site.

And the jurisdiction to the south of the prefectural Yamen was managed by the Fuqian police station.

Although it was just a police station.

It covered a very large area.

The police station directly faced a small night market across the street. Chen Nan went straight to the night market, ordered some barbecue and a bottle of beer, then sat down.

He was there to protect Jiang Li from the shadows, ensuring her safety.

One could say his intentions were deeply earnest.

Wait and wait!

He waited until 10:30 PM but Jiang Li had not shown up.

"Could this woman be working the night shift?" Chen Nan glanced at the dark night sky; the originally hot summer night had also grown somewhat cooler.

This suggested that it was about to rain.

Just as he was hesitating whether to continue waiting, Jiang Li walked out of the Fuqian police station.

She carried a black shoulder bag, wore a simple white t-shirt paired with sky-blue jeans, and flat shoes.

Though her attire was plain, it gave an impression of freshness and elegance, simple yet sophisticated.

No need for overly bright decorations.

Even just standing there quietly, she made hearts flutter.

This beauty was natural and pleasing to the eye.

After leaving the police station, she scanned a shared bike and immediately headed home under the cover of night.

"Heaven seems to favor the diligent, finally this woman shows up!" Chen Nan immediately paid for his meal and unlocked a shared bike, following behind Jiang Li at a distance.

But just about fifteen minutes into riding, a heavy rain began to fall.

He saw Jiang Li ahead, stopping under a bus stop to take shelter from the rain.

Chen Nan found himself in a dilemma.

Should I go over and take shelter as well?

But if I do, how would I explain my presence?

Yet if I don’t go, wouldn’t I end up soaked like a drowned rat?
