Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When Sun Su arrived at the police station to work, she found the atmosphere a bit strange; several female officers were all gathered together in a frenzy exchanging gossip. She knew these colleagues. They were dedicated and seriously conscientious to their work, and rarely got this excited. Some were moms in their late thirties and weren’t as interested in hyped celebrities on TV as young girls nowadays.
Seeing Sun Su coming in, a female officer waved at her.
“Sun Su, do you know what happened today?” The female officer was excited.
“Someone proposed in public at the police station?”
“Heck, no, no.”
“Then which young heiresses have fallen over each other again in their rush to fawn upon Director Feng?”
She looked at Sun Su and whined wordlessly, “Are we that bored? Those are nothing, we’re merely people who’re marveling much for having seen too little.”
Sun Su was in full agreement. One after the other, her colleagues came close to looking like love-struck fools of 17 or 18 year old girls – she really couldn’t guess, so she asked flippantly, “Well, I have no idea. It can’t be that a heavenly handsome guy dropped by, right?” She had things on her mind and wasn’t much bothered speculating the gossip.
Unexpectedly, the female officer’s eyes lit up and she patted Sun Su on the shoulder and said, “You’ve got potential, a tall and handsome guy did call on Director Feng. He seems to be from the Capital, and from the way Director Feng entertained him discreetly, he must be in some high position and power.”
“Sun Su, I remember you are single, take your chances.”
“Yup, if I were 10 years younger, I’d jump at the chance to try it, if he’s indeed a lady-killer.”
“Haha, can you really bear to push away that kid of yours?” A whole bunch of female officers ridiculed that one cop’s grand aspiration and heroic speech.
Sun Su was amazed to see that the gossipy nature of these mother colleagues was ignited. It seemed that the man who came should have definitely been a super handsome guy. Why else would even these people, with their families in tow, be so excited and rippling with the stirrings of love.
“Sun Su, give this information to Director Feng,” Officer Huang shouted at Sun Su.
Sun Su coughed, hurriedly dropped off her stuff and took the file. In the envious eyes of all the female officers, she looked in bewilderment and uncertainty at the tall and strong bodyguards in suits standing at the doorway of Director Feng’s office. The strapping bodyguards, whose muscles were as hard as stone, had their hands behind their backs. Coming into contact with the bodyguards’ sharp bloodthirsty eyes, Sun Su could tell at a glance that they were definitely not ordinary bodyguards. Those sort of eyes were only seen from outlaws.
Although the bodyguards exuded an air of ‘idlers, stay away’, Sun Su still calmly explained her purpose.
One of the bodyguards nodded faintly without a word and knocked on Director Feng’s office.
“Let her in, she’s one of my subordinates,” Director Feng’s voice was muffled and low, surprisingly soliciting permission from the person inside.
Sun Su didn’t take it seriously when she heard her colleagues saying that it was someone in power, but she was now shocked and deeply convinced. In Fuzhou, who hadn’t tried and hoped to suck up to Director Feng? This was the first time Director Feng had been punctilious, so Sun Su straightened her back and started to treat her task seriously.
“Ninth Master said to let the female officer in.” A gentle male voice came. This time, the two bodyguards didn’t block her anymore. After Sun Su entered, she realized that there were three other people in Director Feng’s office besides him.
There were two people sitting on the set of black leather sofas in Director Feng’s office, one was standing to the side, while Director Feng was also seated on the sofa talking to one of the men.
“Director Feng, Officer Huang asked me to pass this information to you.” Sun Su held her breath and handed the file to Feng Yuanlin seriously.
Feng Yuanlin took it, nodded, and said indifferently, “I know, you may go. I’ll check it.”
Sun Su wasn’t actually a very curious person, but after her colleagues’ exaggerations, plus the fact that Director Feng was so punctilious and cautious, Sun Su’s curiosity was a bit piqued. She took a glimpse of the man out of the corner of her eye across from Director Feng as he took the information.
When she got a good look at the man, she was immediately stunned.
The man across from Director Feng was wearing a tailored, silver-gray suit without a tie, and only a handkerchief of the same color that was a little darker than silver-gray on his left chest. His hair was styled meticulously without a single strand out of place, showing off his thick brows and austere appearance. The man’s facial features could practically be described as incomparably handsome, with his tall and narrow nose, and thin diamond-shaped lips. Just looking at his fathomless and tall, straight nose, one would suspect that he was of mixed blood. But his looks were completely devoid of any hint of European ruggedness – with skin so white, he’s almost pale, and thin bloody diamond-shaped lips.
But even so, no hint of femininity could be detected in him. On the contrary, he was gorgeously graceful, the kind of noble blood that had been passed down from thousands of generations. He was sitting on the sofa without batting an eyelid, but his whole body radiated a reserved detachment and pure intimidating pressure – the bearing of someone extraordinary. Even when confronting Director Feng, who was always overbearing and majestic, Sun Su wasn’t really afraid. But when the man cast a sidelong glance at her with those cold starry eyes, Sun Su was so frightened she almost lost her footing and fled.
When she walked out of the door, Sun Su took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. She secretly wondered. She was neither a love-struck fool, nor a wimp. That man was obviously so stunning he could make her lose her soul, but her legs just turned jelly. But then, that man’s momentum was too terrifying.
“How was it, how was it?” One female officer asked how she felt about seeing the handsome guy.
Sun Su gave a thumbs-up, “Drop-dead gorgeous, he’s just a little scary.” After her comment, the other female officers nodded heavily in an instant.
“Yeah, yeah, we wouldn’t have given you the information delivery task if that handsome guy wasn’t so scary.” Several of the policewomen were deeply impressed.
Sun Su smiled and sat down in her seat. Although stunning, she also knew that this kind of handsome man was one of those men with high authority. They absolutely had no chance. So she didn’t dwell much on it, and instead, chewed over the warning that little girl with big feline eyes had solemnly reminded her on the day she left.
That day, that little girl told her to take the main road and to be careful. She thought it was that girl’s casual concern and didn’t take it to heart. But that day after work, as she was passing through a sparsely populated, dark alley, that girl’s words jolted into her mind.
Sun Su hesitated, but still took another path home. When she detoured to a bright road, she even slapped herself on the forehead and burst into laughter. That alley was a shortcut she often took and she’d never had an accident. Yet, she actually listened to that girl’s words as if bewitched. Despite this complaint, she took a detour.
Until the next day when her father drew her with trepidation and pointed to a news article, and said, “Is this the alley, where the incident happened, the one you always take coming home?”
Sun Su was holding a slice of bread in her mouth and when she got a good look at what was on that news item, she was instantly gobsmacked and her rosy cheeks turned pale. Last night, a territorial fire fight broke out between two gangs in the alley she used to take, and many people had died.
And the timing was right after she got off work. She shuddered to think what would have happened to her if she had gone down that road last night. These bunch of gangs loathed cops. If she had rashly walked in, she certainly would have been involved.
