Because I Cannot Hurt You

"Why would you want to come with me to the conference?" Yunru asked, feeling confused.

Zizi grimaced. "Take the hint! We will get to spend some time together if we go on the trip together," she blushed. "It is a good chance for me to make you notice me and fall in love with me. Plus, I would also come to know more about your work."

He coughed hard.

This woman…

"The conference is for cops and officers. You won't get an entry."

She put her hands on her waist. "Gaining an entry is not a problem! I will talk to your Chief about it."

She stepped out of his office and marched towards the Chief's cabin. Yunru widened his eyes. "Princess!"

Zizi knocked on the door once and then opened it but was stunned to see the scene. The Chief, a middle-aged man in his fifties, was lazily sitting on his chair with his feet up on the desk, scratching his ear. There was a cigarette in his mouth and his phone in his left hand as he watched some funny videos. "Hahaha!

As soon as the Chief's sight fell upon Zizi, he froze. "You…"

"Princess, you cannot go like-" Now Yunru also saw the Chief of the police station in such a disorderly manner. For a moment, he was speechless. "...this."

He cleared his throat and said, "Chief."

The Chief, Zhong Gen, jolted in his seat. "You...Why are you suddenly here? And who is this woman?" He threw away the cigarette and put his phone on the desk.

Zizi stared at Chief Zhong in distaste. She whispered to Yunru. "Is the Chief of the police station supposed to be like this? I imagined the Chief to be a serious and dedicated man sitting in his office with a stern expression going through the files. Basically like you."

Yunru had no words to say. He could only smile. "Well…"

All the officers in the department knew how the Chief was. So, it didn't come as a surprise to him. But for a civilian like Zizi, it was surely a shock.

The Chief tried to smile. "Yes, Miss. How can I help you?"

Zizi pursed her lips and said, "You are sending Yunru to the conference in Shanghai, right?"

"Oh yes, yes," he wiped his forehead.

"I want to go with him. So arrange the pass for my entrance too."

Zizi's no-nonsense attitude took him aback. "Your pass? Why?"

"Because I want to go with Yunru. I am his fiance and I want to accompany him. So arrange for my pass."

Chief Zhong was stunned. "But that conference is for cops. What will you do there?"

She glared at him. "I can get to know more about his work and isn't that good? I want to understand my fiance's work on a deeper level. Is there anything wrong with that? You seem to be free anyway. So call whoever the concerned person is and arrange for my pass."

Chief Zhong choked in his throat. Zizi directly said it to his face that he was free. That simply meant he was wasting time instead of working.

Yunru had to show a lot of resolve to burst into laughter. Zizi's savage comment attacked him head-on, draining all his HP.

The Chief uneasily shifted in his seat, feeling annoyed and frustrated. "I am sorry Miss but the conference isn't for civilians…"

Zizi narrowed her eyes. "Are you arranging my pass or should I do it myself? Don't misunderstand that I have to beg you for it. I am just giving you some face. I am Han Zizi after all. Who can reject me?"

Chief Zhong widened his eyes. "Han Zizi? From the Han family?"

"Of course," she snorted.

"I-I see. Of course, I will look into your pass, Miss Han. Soo Yunru, why didn't you say before that she is your fiance?"

Yunru smiled it off.

Zizi harrumphed. "Make sure my pass is ready."

Before he could say anything, she grabbed Yunru's hand and stormed out of his office. Outside, a few officers who were listening to their conversation immediately straightened up as they came out.

Yunru twitched his mouth. "What are you all doing in front of the Chief's cabin?"

One of them grinned. "We saw your fiance going into his cabin so we were curious."

"We wanted to know why she met that lazy ass haha!"

Zizi raised her brow.

His friends immediately crowded her and praised her. "By the way, sister-in-law. You were awesome!"

"You insulted him on his face! What a way to make your demand!"

"Ah that made me feel so satisfied...Damn I wanted to see the Chief's face he would have made!"

"It must be ugly, what else?" One rolled his eyes.

Yunru sighed.

Zizi slowly asked, "You all don't seem to like him…"

The officers had a solemn expression. "Of course, we don't! Chief Zhong Wen doesn't deserve to be the Chief."

"He just lazes around and does nothing!"

"And when Yunru solves any case, that bastard takes all the credit!"

"Honestly, Yunru should have been promoted to the Chief's position. He is the star of this police station but that Chief Zhong hogs all the glory."

Zizi was stunned. "Really?"

"Yes! Everybody knows here what an ass Zhong Wen is. We are just tolerating him. He is an awful supervisor!"

Hearing all this, Zizi couldn't help but feel furious. She smacked Yunru on his shoulder. "What the hell are you doing working in such shitty conditions? You should protest!"

Yunru said, "Princess. It's not a big deal really. I don't really care about the credit. I only want justice delivered. As long as I get that, I don't mind what the process becomes."

"You...you are an idiot! He is taking advantage of you!"

His friends nodded. "He is!"

Yunru grabbed her wrist. "Thank you so much for worrying about me, Princess. But it's fine. Really. Let me take you home now. It has gotten really late."
