Chapter 240: Chapter 0240: You Like Me, Don’t You?

"It seems that this guy is really annoying."

Tang Ming laughed and said, "Don’t worry, when I get a chance, I’ll beat him up."

"Alright, Brother Ming, I’ve been waiting for you to say that."

The chubby guy nodded happily.

At the school gate’s security room, Lin Xue, dressed in a uniform, sat on a chair, while the elderly security guard, who was over fifty, offered her boiling water and cigarettes, but she declined them all.

Lin Xue was speechless. Did she look like someone who smoked because she was cute?

The old security guard was a chatterbox, always finding an excuse to chat, "Comrade officer, what exactly did the students do this time?"

"They didn’t do anything, just some personal matters."

Lin Xue answered casually.

The old security guard continued, "That’s good then, I was afraid they might stir up some trouble..."

Lin Xue didn’t engage further, just then, footsteps were heard from outside, and through the glass, she saw the chubby guy walking over with Tang Ming.

"Oh, it’s you, Officer Lin."

Upon seeing Lin Xue, Tang Ming felt a bit intimidated, virtually scared, actually.

After arriving in Songlan City, Lin Xue was the only person Tang Ming was wary of; her strong sense of justice was good, but always treating him like the bad guy was frustrating, plus, she was Lin Canghai’s sister, someone he couldn’t afford to provoke, and she kept bothering him!

"Did you kill a small Caucasian sheepdog yesterday?"

Lin Xue asked straightforwardly with a stern face!

Without hesitation, Tang Ming...denied it: "No!"

No joking, since meeting Lin Xue, nothing good had happened. No matter the situation, she always ended up arresting someone. Oh, it should be said that Tang Ming wasn’t guilty at all! If he admitted it... that would be the end of him!

When Lin Xue heard Tang Ming denying it, she was momentarily taken aback. If it wasn’t him, then who could it be? The driver? Liu Gaoze?

Upon seeing Tang Ming’s very serious demeanor, Lin Xue was convinced it must be him, probably thinking she was here to catch him: "Relax, I’m not here to arrest you this time. I am a person who distinguishes clearly between gratitude and grudges! Do you know about the Qin Family..."

Still distinguishing between gratitude and grudges? Tang Ming was somewhat speechless, but glad she wasn’t here to arrest him. He didn’t care much about the rest, so he didn’t really hear what Lin Xue said afterward.

"Hey, hey!" Seeing Tang Ming’s distracted look, Lin Xue immediately scolded in dissatisfaction, "I’m talking to you! You must be destined to be a thief, even your good deeds are misunderstood as bad ones!"

Tang Ming was startled by Lin Xue’s shout, "It’s true, whenever I do good, you say it’s bad. Since you’re not here to catch me, why are you here then?"

"I talked a lot, for nothing!"

Lin Xue was very frustrated and reminded him, "The owner of that dog is very powerful and is now searching everywhere for the person who killed the dog. You’d better lay low!"

"Why should I hide?"

Tang Ming was careless, "His dog almost killed someone. Shouldn’t he be the one hiding? If I see him, I’ll bite him dead!"

"You... That dog belongs to the Qin Family from Songlan City, a newly rising Martial Arts Family, recently gaining popularity, not someone you can afford to mess with!"

Lin Xue earnestly tried to explain the stakes, although she found Tang Ming annoying, she didn’t want someone who did good to be retaliated against by the Qin Family!

"The Qin Family? Sounds like it’s Qin Haitao’s family!"

Zhou Dafu suddenly realized and quickly reminded him in a low voice.

"So it’s their family, huh? No need to hide then!"

Tang Ming laughed carelessly, "If they dare come for me, I’ll beat them up again!"

"The Qin Family is a very formidable Martial Arts Family, not just an ordinary commercial family! Even though you have some marital arts skills, opposing such a Martial Arts Family will not end well for you!"

Lin Xue was a bit anxious, Tang Ming was really hard to persuade, "You’d better go and hide for a while!"

Now it was Tang Ming’s turn to be puzzled, ever since he had known Lin Xue, this violent woman had either wanted to hit him or catch him at every meeting. It was the first time she seemed so concerned about him, which made Tang Ming feel a bit uneasy!

"What the hell, did I just run into a fake Lin Xue today?" Tang Ming looked at the other person with a weird gaze!

"Why are you staring at me? Are you even listening?"

Feeling unnerved by Tang Ming’s stare, Lin Xue glared at him irritably!

"I know about the Qin Family’s situation, but why do you care so much about me!"

Touching his chin and walking around Lin Xue, Tang Ming suspiciously asked, "Could it be you like me? Or are you sick?"

"What did you say?"

Lin Xue was momentarily taken aback.

"I get it now, you keep finding trouble with me just to catch my attention and make a deeper impression on me!"

Tang Ming clapped his hands and said speechlessly, "Your way of showing affection is really special!"

"Nonsense, how could I possibly like you!"

Lin Xue’s face turned red in an instant, becoming quite flustered, "My previous actions against you were all within the duties that a cop must uphold! This time too, you stood up for justice, and I couldn’t just watch you being targeted by the Qin Family!"

"Oh! Are you sure it’s not because you like me?"

Tang Ming wore a face of disbelief.

"Crazy! I’m discussing serious matters with you— the Qin Family is not easy to deal with... No one would like you!"

Lin Xue felt very uncomfortable under Tang Ming’s gaze.

"Oh, that’s great then! But even if you liked me, I definitely wouldn’t like you! Go on, I won’t hide anyways!"

Tang Ming shook his head, saying, "School is going to have exams soon, I can’t just neglect my studies, can I?"

"Are studies more important than your life?"

Lin Xue really couldn’t understand Tang Ming’s thinking.

"Oh, what I mean is, I am the Liu Family’s bodyguard, and Liu Mengting needs to take exams at school, so I have to protect her!"

Tang Ming looked at Lin Xue like she was an idiot: "If I were afraid of the Qin Family, what kind of bodyguard would I be!"

"You’re too arrogant! The Qin Family is a Martial Arts Family; they’ll definitely send a Martial Artist to deal with you—one of you isn’t enough to survive!"

Seeing Tang Ming so self-assured nearly made Lin Xue faint from anger.

"OK, you asked for it then. They came after me first, so when I fight back, just don’t arrest me!"

Tang Ming clapped his hands, clearly very happy to get rid of Lin Xue.

"You, just wait to get beaten up!"

Lin Xue, furiously glaring at Tang Ming, stomped her foot, turned around, and left quickly!

"Bro Tang, you’re so badass, even daring to tease a policewoman, respect!"

Zhou Dafu moved closer to Tang Ming, giving a thumbs up in admiration!

"Who’s teasing her? I’d be lucky if she doesn’t harass me!"

Tang Ming shook his head, beginning to plan how best to beat up the Qin Family’s people. Hang them up or... hang them up!

"Damn jerk, doesn’t recognize kindness at all!"

Stepping out of the school gate, Lin Xue cursed, her face flushing as she walked away.

This was the first time a man had said she liked him, especially under Tang Ming’s intense gaze, her heartbeat uncomfortably fast! Could it be... impossible, it must be because he infuriated her, furious to death!

The damn jerk, let him get beaten to death by the Qin Family! But curse as she might, Lin Xue just couldn’t watch Tang Ming get killed by the Qin Family, so she had to come up with a plan!
