Breaking Through The Clouds

Chapter 44

"What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?" The girl cut a piece of fish and asked with a graceful smile.

The food was exquisite and fresh, the piano melody was elegant, and the waiter came and left lightly without making a single sound. Yan Xie's gaze darted to the other corner of the restaurant and remained there until the girl's mood worsened and her tone sounded aggravated: "--what do you like to do in your spare time?"

"Hmm?" Yan Xie came back to his senses: "There is no such thing as spare time. The City Bureau works overtime twice a month for half a month at a time."

"...... Then do you read books, travel, or go to concerts when you are on vacation?"

"I listen to the music," Yan Xie said with little interest, "when driving I listen to Phoenix Legend or something."

"......" This girl was rather good at controlling her facial expression, and she even came up with a new topic: "Since you are so busy, you should have encountered many cases, right? "

Yan Xie: "Ah, that's true!"

"Great, I've always admired the police since I was a kid! Do you know of any new and exciting cases that you can tell me about?"

Not far away, in front of the dining room window, Yang Mei was talking about something, not even touching the food on her plate, but chattering with Jiang Ting. Jiang Ting was eating as methodically and slowly as ever, occasionally making a single sound from his nasal cavity, neither nodding nor shaking his head.

For the eighth time, Yan Xie withdrew his dignified prying eyes and said absentmindedly, "Novelty? There's nothing new, it's all the same."

The girl looked at Yan Xie's face and decided to give the man one last chance on account of his looks.

"There have been a few new ones recently." As if the heavens had heard her voice, Yan Xie finally thought about it and reluctantly opened his mouth, saying, "A few days ago, a suspect was killed on the highway, the truck ran over him twenty to thirty times. Oh, his corpse looked just like the meat gravy on your plate, we were collecting the parts in plastic bags with iron pliers for two hours. And last month, there was a girl of your age who assisted in smuggling drugs, putting them in plastic wrap and stuffing that into her private parts, shit that was disgusting, our policewomen almost didn't eat for a few days afterwards ......"

Shouldn't have given him any chance, the girl thought blankly.

"...... That's why I say girls of your age shouldn't go out too late, be vigilant when walking at night, and dress conservatively. It's not that our patriarchal society blames female victims or anything, the problem is that some animals are not human, and it's useless to blame them. Even if they are arrested and put in jail to enjoy the pleasure of their chrysanthemums turning into sunflowers a million times, the trauma of the victims themselves will be hard to erase, so it is important to look at the probability...... Hey waiter!"

The general manager, who was secretly watching, immediately stepped forward quickly, "Young master."

Yan Xie pointed at Jiang Ting and Yang Mei who were getting up in the distance and heading for the observation deck: "Where are they going?!"

The general manager was sympathetic: "They've finished eating and want to get some air."

Yan Xie: "......"

Yan Xie was like the primary wife that had caught an adulterous couple in the act. Judging from his expression, those two might not be going to the observation deck, but going hand in hand to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register their marriage.

"Ahem!" The blind date girl put down her knife and fork, wiped the corner of her mouth with a napkin, picked up her bag and smiled, "I'm so happy to have met you today, Mr. Yan, it's almost time for me to go back, so let's not exchange contact information."
