Ling Feng looked at the hesitant Mu Jianping and said excitedly, "Are you remembering something? It's me, Ling Feng! Back then your grandpa even said he wanted to arrange a childhood betrothal for us!"
"Mr. Ling, please don't say such nonsense casually."
Mu Jianping was a little angry. How could she have a childhood betrothal? She hadn't even heard of such a thing!
"What? The promise from nineteen years ago, your family can't want to renege on it, right?"
Mu Jianping had thought Ling Feng's ability to flip his attitude was already quite fast. She didn't expect Ling Feng's ability to change faces to be even faster. He immediately raised his eyebrows and said unhappily, "My mom even told me to ask about the dowry. How are your preparations coming along?"
Dowry?
The onlooking crowd's brains were full of black lines.
Not to mention that Mu Jianping was the Mu Family's only heir. Marrying her would be the same as marrying the entire Mu Family Corporation.
What dowry could compare to such a luxurious betrothal gift?
Just talking about it as a man, going to propose a marriage - even if not discussing a bride price, he still couldn't so brazenly say such a thing right in front of so many people.
It was as if he was going to become a son-in-law who married into the family.
Mu Jianping saw how certain Ling Feng was, so she asked, "Do you...have a marriage contract? Or some other evidence would work too."
Ling Feng casually said, "Evidence? What evidence, there's no such thing. My mom just said to go directly to your family's old master."
No marriage contract?
Could it be something the elders had casually brought up as a joke?
Everyone's gazes instantly changed flavor.
Something the adults had jokingly said was actually taken seriously.
Zhao Ruoxue teased from the side, "Didn't you just say I was your destined wife? How do you also have a childhood betrothal?"
Ling Feng nodded seriously, "That's right, you're my fiancée, and she's also my fiancée. You and I are destined, that doesn't mean I can't also be destined with someone else."
"Hmph." Zhao Ruoxue looked disdainful, "Bigamy is against the law."
"Bigamy? Why is it against the law? My mom never told me about that."
Ling Feng scratched his head with an innocent expression.
Could this person be an idiot?
The police already had the idea of sending him to a psychiatric hospital.
Zhao Ruoxue pulled Mu Jianping to the side, "Could this person be a scammer?"
Mu Jianping also whispered, "Not sure, but I have heard this name at home before. Should I call and ask?"
"Good, you call and confirm it. If it's not true, I guess we should still send him to a psychiatric hospital for his own good. It'd be too dangerous wandering around outside."
Zhao Ruoxue was already itching to take action, but didn't want to wrong a good person either. She could only wait for Mu Jianping to finish her call.
"Hey Dad, I just happened to run into a robbery, I'm fine, don't worry."
"There's another thing, I met a young man here named Ling Feng. Do you know him? Okay good."
Mu Jianping's voice suddenly became quieter.
"One last thing, you didn't arrange some weird marriage pact for me right?"
"What? There really is one? It's really him?"
"It's not him? Then I can relax..."
Her voice on the call gradually grew louder again.
"Relax my ass! Hurry up and cancel it! What era is this that you’re still doing this kind of thing?"
"What do you mean he's quite handsome? Looks like a little puppy? This...let me think about it, do you have any photos?"
Zhao Ruoxue really couldn't listen anymore, "Ahem, Ms. Mu, Ms. Mu, why don't you discuss matchmaking matters when you get home? Focus on the task at hand!"
"Alright, I'll hang up first then. Something came up here. Okay, coming right back."
Under Zhao Ruoxue's repeated urging, Mu Jianping finally hung up the call.
"So what did he say?"
Zhao Ruoxue did one final confirmation.
Mu Jianping shook her head, "Don't worry, he's not my fiancé. But he really was invited by my grandpa. My dad said to bring him back and treat him well."
"I see..."
Zhao Ruoxue felt a bit disappointed. She had allowed herself to be verbally taken advantage of over nothing.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she felt.
After thinking for a bit, Zhao Ruoxue came up with a brilliant idea.
"Ms. Mu, originally as an eyewitness, you should go to the police station to give a statement, right?"
Mu Jianping said hesitantly, "But my dad asked me to come back right away. Something seems to have happened at home."
Zhao Ruoxue nodded understandingly, "Don't worry, I can understand how you feel. I have a solution here that lets us have the best of both worlds. Want to hear it?"
Mu Jianping naturally wouldn't refuse and nodded repeatedly.
Only then did Zhao Ruoxue say, "I'll take two people to your house to record your statement. That way neither matter will be delayed."
"Is that okay?"
Mu Jianping still felt a little hesitant.
"Of course, special circumstances call for special arrangements."
Zhao Ruoxue was quite confident about this. It wasn't like they were interrogating criminals after all.
"Okay then, thank you very much."
Mu Jianping thanked her very politely.
Returning to the crowd, everyone was still staring at each other.
Zhao Ruoxue pulled over the other team captain, a middle-aged man, to the side, "Captain Shen, I've treated you pretty well right?"
Captain Shen asked warily, "What do you mean? I'm warning you, I'm a married man."
"Where did your mind go? I'm having you take the team to escort the criminals back to the station. I'll go with Ms. Mu here to take her statement."
Zhao Ruoxue punched Captain Shen in the chest and angrily said.
"Oh, that's fine, that's fine. I thought you wanted... But that's not following protocol. You'll have to report it yourself to the higher ups."
Captain Shen took a few steps back after being punched, but patted his chest looking very relaxed.
"Damn you."
Seeing Captain Shen's shameless appearance, Zhao Ruoxue raised her fist as if to hit him again.
"Hurry hurry, get in the car, back to the station."
Seeing the situation go south, Captain Shen hurriedly ran back to the police car.
As he ran, he called for his subordinates. He looked completely like he was fleeing from some disaster.
Before long, the police cars sped away from the scene, leaving only one police car and a hapless young policeman behind.
"Captain Zhao, I..."
The young policeman still wanted to say something, but Zhao Ruoxue directly waved her hand to interrupt him, "I'm going to make a call. Have them wait a bit."
After saying that, Zhao Ruoxue walked some distance away.
Once she confirmed no one could hear her, she made a call.
"Hello, little Feng Feng?"
Ye Feng, who was eating with Zhejiang at Jiang City University, inexplicably received a call from Zhao Ruoxue.
"Sis Zhao? What do you need from me?"
Ye Feng sounded hesitant. He couldn't figure out why a female cop would look for him.
Did I do something bad recently?
doesn't seem like it.
Studying diligently, that's the right path.
Could he still have committed some crime unknowingly?
Zhao Ruoxue said in an aggrieved tone, "Little Feng Feng, sis was bullied!"
"What, someone dared bully you? Arrest them!"
Ye Feng was a bit surprised. Wasn't assaulting an officer a serious crime?
"Cough, that person only verbally teased me a few times."
Zhao Ruoxue felt a little embarrassed. Would this make her seem petty?
But she really was quite angry!
She was a young lady. How could someone casually sully her innocence like that?
"Then how can I help with that?"
Ye Feng was full of bewilderment. It wasn't something he had done after all.
And were they even that close?
