Urban Soldier Young Master

Yao Hongmei hung her head low, furrowing her brows tightly, her emotions indescribably complex.

If what those people said earlier was true, then she really had no place to put her old face, and thinking about that incident from years ago, she found it even harder to lift her head.

Many years ago, Li Guangcheng, that perverted principal, was caught red-handed by her husband, and it was precisely because of this incident that her husband began his rise in the ranks, eventually becoming the deputy director of the public security bureau.

However, only she and a few others knew that, in fact, it was her husband who took the credit that belonged to Qin Yan for this matter.

"Grandma, I'm so scared, sob sob..."

Just as Yao Hongmei was filled with indecision, not knowing how to face the Qin Family, little Jingjing in her arms woke up. As soon as she opened her eyes, she burst into frightened tears.

"Jingjing, don't cry. Grandma is here, don't be scared, it's okay, dear."

Seeing her precious granddaughter cry, Yao Hongmei hurriedly reached out her hand, tenderly wiping away Jingjing's tears.

"Grandma, just... just now, someone... someone covered your mouth with a handkerchief, and then... then you fainted, and then... I... sob sob..."

Jingjing was obviously terrified, speaking incoherently through her sobs.

Even though Jingjing hadn't finished speaking, from these fragmented words, it was enough for Yao Hongmei to understand the truth of the matter.

She had indeed misunderstood the Qin Family, throwing baseless accusations at them.

Clenching her teeth, Yao Hongmei still couldn't face the Qin Family. With her head down, she picked up Jingjing and squeezed through the crowd, quickly heading towards the park entrance.

Watching Yao Hongmei walk away from the crowd, the onlookers displayed expressions of disgust, starting to discuss among themselves.

"That old lady, how outrageous! They saved her life, and she can't even say thank you?"

"Oh, what kind of person is she?"

"Look at that old lady, and then look at that young guy, how can there be such a big gap between people!"

"Exactly, exactly. Hey, where's that young guy? And why are those two young ladies no longer here?"

Once Yao Hongmei was gone, as people wanted to focus back on Chu Ge, they suddenly realized that at some point, only Qin Yan and the unconscious Li Guangcheng were left on site.

Seeing this, a short-haired beauty dressed smartly, with a camera slung around her neck, was initially stunned. Then she slapped her thigh with force, urgently saying, "Everyone, quick, let's find him! There aren't many good people like that young guy around these days. I'm a reporter, and I must report this incident. It would be such a pity if there's no photo of him in the report!"

The short-haired beauty's words immediately received a response from those around her, and everyone began to look for Chu Ge everywhere.

"Phew... thankfully, I managed to sneak away."

Seizing the moment while everyone was unprepared, Chu Ge, who had slipped away, looked back at the crowd searching for him, and couldn't help but let out a deep breath of relief.

Seeing Chu Ge's expression, Qin Ruoying, who had snuck out with him, couldn't help but laugh, saying, "Brother-in-law, you've done a great deed worthy of praise, so why do you look like a thief?"

Chu Ge waved his hand casually, saying, "Hey, it's nothing significant, I just don't want to be surrounded by people. Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, and I still want to rush back to eat some zongzi."

Hearing Chu Ge say this, even Qin Ruojing couldn't help but let out a chuckle, teasing him with a tone both amused and helpless, "You glutton."

Chu Ge shrugged, "Food and lust, after all!"

Qin Ruojing rolled her eyes at him, "And when you're full, you start thinking improper thoughts!"

After she finished speaking, Qin Ruojing regretted it internally, wondering if she had been influenced by her sister, as she found herself speaking without thinking.

What made her even more flustered was that after she said this, Chu Ge actually stopped in his tracks, looked back at her, and winked, the corner of his mouth curling into a smirk that seemed to carry some unspoken implication.

Feeling a bit uncertain, Qin Ruojing gave Chu Ge a glare, "What are you looking at me for?!"

Even though Qin Ruojing wanted to appear more assertive, the way she said it, combined with her expression, only made it seem like she was radiating shyness.

"Oh ho ho, sis, your face is turning red again!" Qin Ruoying teased with a playful smile from the side.

"I see you..."

In Qin Ruojing's field of view, Chu Ge wore a mischievous grin, speaking leisurely, but before he could finish, his expression turned to surprise, and he quickly shouted, "Run!" Just as the Qin sisters were puzzled, he turned and sprinted away.

The Qin sisters looked back, suddenly realizing what was happening. Someone had spotted them and, while waving, was chasing after them. Helplessly, they exchanged a smile and could only join Chu Ge in running.

After a mad dash, the Qin sisters finally caught their breath and got into the waiting Hummer. Chu Ge, who had been waiting for them, immediately started the vehicle, stepping on the gas and leaving in a flash.

The crowd, unable to catch up despite their best efforts, regretfully stopped, only able to watch as the Hummer sped away, becoming a distant speck on the horizon.

After catching her breath, Qin Ruoying finally calmed down. She thought that since Chu Ge had pulled off such an impressive feat, he would definitely talk about it with them, asking if they wanted to know how he solved the case. They would then show eager and curious expressions, and he could tell the story leisurely.

After all, it was indeed something worth bragging about. The chance to show off one's skills in front of beautiful women was something most men dream of.

If Qin Ruoying were a man, she would certainly do the same.

So despite being as curious as a cat, she held back from asking. But she waited and waited, and all Chu Ge did was focus on driving, showing no intention of speaking as if nothing happened.

At first, Qin Ruoying thought Chu Ge was playing hard to get, but even after more than half of the drive had passed, he still didn't bring up the subject at all.

Qin Ruoying couldn't hold it any longer and finally spoke up as they were nearing home.

"Brother-in-law, don't you have anything to tell us?"

"Hmm? Nope?" Chu Ge answered without turning his head, keeping his hands on the steering wheel.

"Oh my god! You've totally defeated me," Qin Ruoying mumbled in frustration, rubbing her forehead, making a 'dizzy' expression, deciding she might as well ask directly herself.

"I mean, brother-in-law, weren't you amazing just now? How did you know that guy wasn't Jingjing's uncle? I didn't even notice anything wrong."

Although Qin Ruojing didn't speak, her ears perked up eagerly; she clearly also wanted to know the answer.

"Hehe, that's because you're not me." Looking at Qin Ruoying's expectant face, Chu Ge smiled smugly.

"Oh, brother-in-law, don't play us like that! Just tell me what's going on. If I don't figure this out, I'll probably lose sleep tonight."

Qin Ruoying looked at Chu Ge pitifully, but unfortunately, he just smiled without saying anything, keeping his eyes on the road ahead.

"Sis, help me ask brother-in-law," Qin Ruoying failed to act cute and helplessly turned to Qin Ruojing for help.

"Chu Ge, since Xiaoying is so curious, why don't you spill it already? What's the story?" Although Qin Ruojing was equally curious, she used her sister as an excuse to ask.

Chu Ge continued to smile in silence.

Seeing Chu Ge's smug expression, Qin Ruojing thought angrily, "This guy is putting on airs. I bet I can figure it out even if he won't say a word!"

Running through everything in her mind, Qin Ruojing thought for a moment and then spoke to her sister, "Xiaoying, I think I know what's going on."

"What's happening?" Qin Ruoying immediately asked.

"You've heard the saying 'the eyes are windows to the soul,' right? That guy's eyes were shifty and evasive; he didn't look like a good person."

"Really? I thought he acted pretty normally?"

"That's because you were disgusted to hear that, other than him, the child's grandmother was there too, so you didn't want to bother with him."

"Is that so?" Qin Ruoying mumbled, scratching her head. "Hmm... it seems like it. What else? Anything else?"

"He was wearing a hat and a mask, clearly to avoid showing his face."

"Tch! Is that even a reason? In Kyoto, because of the smog, there are tons of people wearing hats and masks."

"Yes, there are many, and that's exactly what he thinks too. But didn't you notice? When he bumped into you, the road wasn't crowded at all. If he didn't have a guilty conscience, why would he panic and bump into you?"

"And besides these, there's the most crucial flaw!"

After saying this, Qin Ruojing sneaked a glance at Chu Ge from the corner of her eye, but unfortunately, she didn't see the expression she wanted. He was focused on driving, as if he hadn't heard anything.

"Sis, go on, what's the crucial flaw?"

Although she felt it was somewhat boring, Qin Ruojing continued, "The most important flaw is that he said the child's grandmother went to catch a taxi. If something like that really happened, it should clearly be him catching the taxi, as he's young and strong, surely faster than an old lady."

"Wow! Sis, you're amazing! That's definitely how it is!"

After saying this, Qin Ruoying patted the driver's seat, seeking Chu Ge's confirmation, "Brother-in-law, is my sister right?"

"Yes, that's it."

Hearing Chu Ge say this, although Qin Ruojing's face showed no change in expression, she felt a small sense of pride inside. But if she knew things weren't as she imagined, she would definitely not feel proud.

In fact, although Chu Ge said "yes," he was internally baffled, wondering how they came up with all that.

The reason he determined the guy wasn't Jingjing's uncle was because he smelled ether on Jingjing, which had nothing to do with the detailed analysis Qin Ruojing had made.
