Chapter 517: Struck by Good Luck
After she walked away, Ye Qiu wandered around Bai Lan's company.
One has to admit, Bai Lan truly deserves her title as a strong woman in business, naturally born to be a CEO.
In just a few days, with no external pressure or interference, the entire Bai Group quickly restored order and resumed normal operations.
After having lunch with Bai Lan, he inquired about recent developments.
Once he confirmed that there were no issues at the company, Ye Qiu decided to head back to the villa.
The Bai Group wasn't far from the villa, and since Lan Ying wouldn't be back for a while, Ye Qiu decided to walk home.
"Hey? Ye Qiu?"
Just as he reached an intersection, a police car pulled up gradually.
Inside the car were three people, two male officers and a female officer in uniform—the latter speaking up.
Her voice was sweet, tinged with excitement. Her brows were like paintings, her eyes almond-shaped, and her face like a flower.
The two male officers, one stocky and one thin, couldn't even count as sidekicks in her presence.
Ye Qiu recognized her at a glance. It was the policewoman Lin Chuxue he had met before.
"It's you!"
Ye Qiu stopped walking, not very surprised, as the world is small, and bumping into each other was quite normal.
"Um, boss, can I take a leave? You guys carry on with the patrol..."
Lin Chuxue spoke to the stocky officer in the passenger seat.
The stocky officer looked a bit uneasy, glancing Ye Qiu up and down.
This guy isn't particularly tall or handsome, so why is she so excited?
After all, there are plenty at the precinct better looking and more talented than him.
Yet she never fancied any of them. Why this guy?
Though unwilling, there was no alternative.
He reluctantly nodded, granting her leave but only for two hours.
Lin Chuxue thanked him gratefully, hastily getting out of the car.
As the police car drove away, the middle-aged officer in the passenger seat felt indignant!
You've never been this happy when asking for leave before!
...
"Long time no see! How have you been?"
Lin Chuxue's usually cold expression softened, as she asked with a smile.
"I'm doing well. But what brings you here, working as a patrol officer?"
Ye Qiu was puzzled.
Given Lin Chuxue's skills and background, she'd hardly settle for being a patrol officer, right?
"Don't mention it..."
Lin Chuxue seemed a bit embarrassed.
"Last time, I forgot to get your contact information. I've been looking for you ever since!"
Lin Chuxue sighed.
Since she last met Ye Qiu, he'd left quite an impression on her!
It's just that things were rushed last time, and she didn't have a chance to exchange contacts.
She's tried looking up Ye Qiu's information multiple times.
But oddly, his information was completely blank...
"What's up? Miss me?"
Understanding Lin Chuxue's implication, Ye Qiu teased her.
"Pfft!"
Lin Chuxue retorted coquettishly.
Why is this guy still so narcissistic?
Lin Chuxue was already feeling a bit shy...
She looked at Ye Qiu, but his gaze was directed elsewhere.
On the opposite sidewalk, a girl with her head down was scrolling through her phone, briskly pacing as if in a hurry.
She hadn't noticed the two men following her from behind.
The two men wore odd expressions, looking around from time to time, trailing about a meter behind the girl.
"Bang!"
Seemingly assured of no threats around, one of them suddenly quickened his pace, rudely bumping into the girl.
She stumbled and fell directly to the ground.
The man who hit her was quite the natural actor!
"Ouch!"
Feigning pain, he put on a look of agony, wobbling as he lay on the ground.
The other man hurried over.
"Are you blind? You can't even walk straight!"
He pretended to be righteously angry, quickly went over to the girl's side.
"Sorry, my friend's blind. You weren't hurt, were you?"
He feigned an apology and reached out to help the girl up.
Only, his hand seemed rather unscrupulous.
"If you're helping, then help. Who touches someone there?"
Lin Chuxue murmured, suspecting a pervert taking advantage.
Her straightforward nature flared up, ready to confront the two offenders.
"Hold on!"
Ye Qiu stepped in front of Lin Chuxue, signaling her to be patient.
Because he observed that these two weren't just trying to get handsy...
And indeed!
The girl, still dazed from the fall, was slowly supported to her feet by the man.
As she rose, her bag fell to the ground.
The man who had been on the ground seized the opportunity, swiftly unzipping the bag, rummaging through it to produce a stack of fresh red bills.
His technique was not ordinary—clearly not his first time at this!
Stuffing the money into his pocket, he signaled his accomplice with a glance.
The two exchanged a look, offered a fake apology to the girl, and were about to leave.
The girl stood there dumbfounded, completely unaware that she'd been taken advantage of and had her money stolen!
"Stop, don't move, police!"
At that moment, Lin Chuxue had already positioned herself in front of them.
"In broad daylight, you're so brazen with your crimes! Do you think nothing of us police?"
Her voice was cold, tinged with anger, as her slender finger pointed at them.
Out of sheer fury, her body trembled slightly, causing her uniform's chest area to undulate as well.
The two men were taken aback.
Was this their unlucky day?
This was supposed to be their first hit of the day, and already, a stroke of bad luck?
As if that wasn't enough, it happened to be a lone female officer, and quite a pretty one at that...
"Hey, boss, this chick is really pretty!"
Noticing that it was just one cop—a gunless female officer—their confidence swelled.
Lust shone in their eyes as they slowly approached Lin Chuxue.
"Hey there, beauty! You're too pretty to be a cop. How about coming with me? I swear, it'd be hundreds of times more fun than being a cop—especially at night, it'll feel divine! Hahaha!"
"Hahaha! Exactly, exactly!"
The two thieves laughed without restraint.
Anger swept over Lin Chuxue, making her body tremble, yet she didn't dare take action.
She was merely a patrol officer, and having just taken leave, she wasn't even armed with a simple baton...
"You...you stay back!"
Lin Chuxue was a bit anxious.
"You think just because you're a cop, you can boss us around?"
With excitement, the two thieves continued to close in on Lin Chuxue.
"Bang!"
As they were nearly upon her, Lin Chuxue suddenly landed a punch.
A mandatory lesson from police school!
Strike first!
Especially when outnumbered...
