As the days passed, Jennie had been going back and forth between the hospital, company, home, and kindergarten every day. It could be said that she was working hard.

But luckily, Qin Huai never appeared in front of Jennie since the two parted in the hospital unhappily. This made Jennie heave a sigh of relief.

As Lisa's injury improved day by day, the police started to investigate the case of Jennie being hunted down as well.

The first step of the investigation was to find out what had happened through the victim, Jennie.

Lisa was injured that day, and Jennie directly left a few people and took Lisa away in a hurry. She only left Xiao Jingyao to deal with the police alone.

But Xiao Jingyao had rushed over together with the police in the end, after all. He knew nothing except for the scene where Lisa blocked a bullet for Jennie. So, he could not provide much useful information at all.

When the police came to find Jennie, she was having afternoon tea with Min-a.

When Jennie heard Uncle Kim's notice, she raised her eyebrows. Then, she put down the black tea and asked, "How many people are here?"

"Only two young male police officers."

"Two. Okay, I get it. Ask them to wait for me in the living room. I'll be there soon."

"Okay."

"Mom, I'll go over and take a look."

"Okay, remember to tell me and your dad if there is something." Min-a frowned. What happened that day had been completely unproductive. It had become a knot in her heart.

Min-a could not be at ease if she did not catch those people who were hiding in the dark and ready to harm Jennie at any time.

Jennie knew about this as well, so she nodded and said, "Okay, I get it. Don't worry."

As soon as Jennie walked into the living room, she saw two figures with their backs facing her.

It seemed that they heard the footsteps behind them, so the two turned at the same time. Jennie was immediately stunned when she saw them.

Haruto was also stunned when she saw Jennie. His eyes widened, and he exclaimed, "It's you!"

"Yes, you're right, it's me. It's been a long time, Haruto." Jennie had never expected to meet Haruto in this situation.

But now that they had already met, there was no way to hide it now. She could only bite the bullet and greet them.

Eunwoo, who was beside Haruto, was also stunned when he heard the conversation between the two. He looked back and forth between the two of them and asked tentatively, "You two know each other?"

The smile on Jennie's face remained unchanged, and she answered truthfully, "We met once in the cemetery."

Hearing the word cemetery, Eunwoo's expression instantly became a little weird. When he thought about the name of the person in front of him, his gaze at Jennie suddenly became complicated.

Haruto completely ignored Eunwoo's question, and he said to Jennie, "Speaking of which, why are you here, Ms. Kim?"

"This is my home. Where can I be if I'm not here?" Jennie smiled. She observed them without a trace, and her eyes moved slightly.

It seemed like her cute little brother and this Officer Cha were not on good terms. That being the case, she did not need to be too enthusiastic when she met this person in the future.

"Your home?!" Haruto's eyes widened. His dull expression, which showed he could not believe it, made it hard to believe that this person was married.

Jennie smiled slightly, "Why? You find it surprising to know that I'm from the Kim family?"

Haruto realized his gaffe, so he quickly said, "No, no... But didn't you say that you were not from this city last time? Why now... Could it be that the things you said last time were all lies?"

'Oh no!' Jennie thought to herself. She had bumped into Haruto in the cemetery last time as well, so she had simply lied and told him that she was not from Shalnork.

She thought that encounter was just an episode, and it would be difficult to meet again in the future. Unexpectedly, the two met again after a few months, and it was even in this kind of embarrassing situation.

"Uh... of course... of course not! How could I lie to you? Although this is my home? I didn't live here previously, and I just moved back recently. So, it's not surprising that you see me here."

Jennie's words were vague, but people could not find fault with it.

It was true that she had just moved back to Kim family's house recently. She had always lived in the Manoban Family's house before. After moving out of Manoban Family's house, she had also lived alone for a period of time.

But whether she was living in Kim family's house or Manoban Family's house, she was still living in Shalnork, so what she said before had been problematic.

If the person who asked her about it today was someone who knew the past between her and Lisa, she would have been exposed long ago.

Unfortunately, the person who asked her was Haruto. How could Jennie, who had got along with Haruto for more than ten years, not know that this kid had a few buttons missing? Although he likes to watch entertainment gossip, he never remembered it and would forget about it the next day.

Even if he read the rumors about her before, he would have forgotten about it long ago.

As she expected, Haruto's face softened after he heard her explanation as he accepted this explanation easily. He nodded and said, "I see."

However, just because Haruto believed it did not mean that everyone believed it. At least Eunwoo, who was standing beside Haruto, did not believe it completely. He looked at Jennie inquisitively.

Jennie saw Eunwoo's awkwardness, but she did not really care. To her, Eunwoo was just a stranger who had nothing to do with her. His mood was not within her consideration, especially when this person was not on good terms with Haruto.

After greeting Jennie, Haruto finally remembered the main purpose of coming today. He raised his head and looked at Jennie. "Oh, by the way, since you're from this family, you should know that there is someone in your family who has the same name as Sister Jen, right? We're here to find her. Can we trouble you to urge her again?"

"Urge her? Are you guys in a hurry?" Jennie raised her eyebrows when she heard Haruto mention her. She suddenly had the thought of teasing the person in front of her.

Haruto did not know that the person in front of him was the person he was looking for. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Yeah, I can go back to the police station earlier if I finish my task early."

"Do you want to go back to the police station earlier because of work or because someone is waiting for Officer Watanabe there?"

Haruto suddenly blushed when he heard the teasing in Jennie's words. He was so embarrassed that he did not know what to say.

Eunwoo was watching the interaction between the two at the side. He suddenly felt very uncomfortable somehow. He frowned and stepped forward to interrupt them.. "Ms. Jennie, if there is nothing else, can we talk about the business first?"
