Minghai City Public Security Bureau.
"Let's go! Young man!"
The middle-aged male officer, escorting the thief from before, specifically looked back at Ye Ming.
He even raised an eyebrow.
This was clearly hinting at something.
Ye Ming understood, stepped forward, and walked alongside Cheng Shuwan, a faint smile on his face.
"You... you guys!"
Cheng Shuwan saw the exchange of glances between the two and couldn't help but feel amused.
"Good kid! You've got guts!"
Seeing this situation, the middle-aged male officer was somewhat surprised.
He didn't expect Ye Ming to be serious.
As their group stepped into the Public Security Bureau, Ye Ming felt countless eyes sweeping over him.
Most of them were hostile.
"Yo! Shuwan! Who's this handsome guy next to you?"
At this moment, a female officer who usually had a good relationship with Cheng Shuwan sized Ye Ming up, nudged Cheng Shuwan with her elbow, and her eyes ignited with gossip.
Her name was Wu Xinlan. While her looks were only average to above average, her ample bosom always gave people a feeling of surging waves.
Coupled with her special uniform, it was easy to evoke a desire to conquer.
"Xinlan! I warn you! No wild thoughts!"
She knew her best friend's personality very well.
If there was even the slightest hint of ambiguity between her and Ye Ming today, the bureau would likely be filled with all sorts of gossip about her by tomorrow.
The thought of such a thing made her scalp tingle.
"Oh! Really?"
Wu Xinlan's actions were bold. She directly hooked Ye Ming's arm. At this moment, Ye Ming also understood another meaning of the phrase "mountains of pressure."
Indeed!
The pressure was so great that he didn't even have the strength to pull his arm out!
"Handsome guy! Since you and Shuwan aren't *that* kind of couple! How about considering me!" Wu Xinlan leaned closer to Ye Ming.
At this moment, besides the increasing pressure on his arm, Ye Ming could also smell a faint, fresh fragrance.
"What do you say?"
Wu Xinlan whispered into Ye Ming's ear, her breath warm, "I'm telling you, I know many things! Shuwan! She doesn't!"
Faced with this situation, Ye Ming was truly stunned.
The women in this Public Security Bureau were... too formidable!
He couldn't handle it!
Ye Ming quickly pulled his arm out, took two steps back, and said with a wry smile, "Sister, I'm afraid I don't have the fortune to accept your kindness! I don't have the fortune to accept it!"
After speaking, he quickly returned to Cheng Shuwan's side and whispered, "Hey! Your best friend is also..."
As he said this, Ye Ming suddenly couldn't find the words to describe her.
"Alright! Come here! Let's do the statement first!"
Cheng Shuwan pulled Ye Ming into an empty room nearby.
Wu Xinlan watched the two leave, a meaningful smile playing on her lips.
After entering the room, Cheng Shuwan also let out a sigh of relief.
"I'm telling you, don't be fooled by Xinlan's outward appearance. She..." Cheng Shuwan shook her head, not continuing, "Never mind! Let's do the statement first!"
"Name?"
Following the normal procedure, Cheng Shuwan asked.
Huh?
Hearing this question, Ye Ming was somewhat taken aback.
"How about using a random name?"
Ye Ming thought to himself.
"Ye Tian!"
Hearing this name, Cheng Shuwan's writing hand paused slightly.
Ye!
"You're surnamed Ye?"
Clearly, she was somewhat shocked.
"Uh? Is there a problem?"
Seeing Cheng Shuwan's expression, Ye Ming seemed to realize something.
"No... nothing!"
Cheng Shuwan lowered her head, her gaze dimming.
After a simple inquiry, the statement was completed.
"All done!"
Cheng Shuwan stood up and smiled, "Thank you for your cooperation!"
As the two walked out, the number of people in the public security hall seemed to have increased significantly since Ye Ming arrived.
Especially the male officers!
Moreover, the middle-aged male officer who had encouraged Ye Ming earlier stood in the center of the male crowd, looking at him with a smile, "Young man! I've invited all your love rivals! How's that, am I supporting you enough?"
Seeing this scene, Ye Ming was flabbergasted.
Not only him, but even Cheng Shuwan was.
"Yo! Kid! To be honest! Did you chicken out!"
"Tch! Do I even need to say? Look at his expression, it's already green!"
"Alas! I thought a strong competitor had arrived! But I didn't expect him to be a weakling too!"
"Alright! Disperse, disperse! I still have cases to handle!"
"Right! Wasting everyone's time! Still want to win over Shuwan, the swan of the bureau, dream on!"
"????"
...
Seeing Ye Ming's dazed look, the male officers all showed expressions of contempt.
Ye Ming's face genuinely turned green.
He, the great player Ye...呸! The great gentleman Ye, had been active in the romance scene for so long, when had he ever been looked down upon like this?
Could he tolerate this?
So, with a sudden impulse, he directly extended his right hand and pulled Cheng Shuwan, who was beside him, into his embrace. His palm rested on her slender waist, and a wave of fragrance washed over him.
"Excuse me! I've indeed set my sights on your swan of the bureau!" Ye Ming declared proudly, holding Cheng Shuwan.
Cheng Shuwan hadn't even reacted to Ye Ming's sudden move. Her mind was still buzzing, blank.
Not only Cheng Shuwan, but all the police officers present were dumbfounded.
The young man in front of them actually dared to do such a universally outrageous thing in front of everyone.
Where would that leave the faces of those grown men?
"Damn it! Kid! You're finished!"
"Damn it! Let go of Shuwan quickly!"
"How dare you! Kid! I admit you've successfully caught my attention! But! Can you afford the consequences!"
"Brothers! This is a provocation right to our doorstep! Can we stand for this?"
"Stand for what the hell! Get him!"
"Get that bastard!"
"..."
Cheng Shuwan's many suitors were now thoroughly enraged.
However, Ye Ming's domineering gesture did captivate some of the other female officers.
"Wow! This handsome guy is really brave! I'm falling for him!"
"Look! Shuwan's face is all red!"
"Oh! Is she shy?"
"Little brother! Go for it! Auntie is rooting for you!"
"That's right! Even if you don't win Shuwan in the end, Auntie wants you!"
"Get lost! You little vixen! Don't try to corrupt my little brother!"
"????"
"..."
The cheers and encouragement from these female officers undoubtedly intensified the anger of the male officers.
By now, Cheng Shuwan had also reacted. Her face was already flushed red, and she struggled, "Quick... quick let me go!"
Alas!
The atmosphere had been built up to this point, and Ye Ming was fully committed.
"Good girl! Don't fuss!"
Ye Ming continued to hold Cheng Shuwan, and declared to everyone,
"Come! I accept your challenge!"
