Chapter 279: Chapter 0279: Indeed Very Cheap

A glint of light flashed in Shen Yan’s eyes as she worriedly thought, "Has she already found out about my identity as an assassin?"

This was a classic case of a guilty conscience. In reality, Lin Xue was only trying to figure out whether Shen Yan was someone sent by the Qin Family for retaliation against Tang Ming. However, Shen Yan, with her guilty conscience, started to have wild thoughts unconsciously.

Tang Ming made a round through the police station and eventually ran into the beautiful woman he had met at the supermarket with Lin Xue in the hallway.

"Sir, what’s wrong? Do you need help?"

Tan Ruoxi saw Tang Ming wandering aimlessly within the police station and approached him with enthusiasm to ask.

"You look pretty good in a police uniform, better looking than Lin Xue."

Tang Ming touched his chin and sincerely praised her.

"You know Lin Xue and me?"

Tan Ruoxi was slightly startled and began to scrutinize Tang Ming closely, but for the moment, she couldn’t recall who he was.

"Sort of met before. At the supermarket, you and Lin Xue helped catch a bad guy."

Tang Ming smiled, "What’s your name, beautiful lady?"

"Tan Ruoxi. And you?"

It was then that Tan Ruoxi remembered that she had indeed met Tang Ming before.

"Tang Ming, the Tang Ming akin to Tang Ming Emperor."

Tang Ming extended his hand and shook hands with Tan Ruoxi politely.

"So, you’re Tang Ming!"

Tan Ruoxi’s eyes suddenly brightened, looking at Tang Ming with great interest.

"You know about me? I must really be famous now."

Tang Ming laughed with pride.

"You’re indeed famous. You’re the first person to ever give police officer Lin Xue such a headache," Tan Ruoxi smiled exquisitely and said in admiration, "By the way, I’m Lin Xue’s best friend. She’s told me everything about you guys."

"Heh, I bet she didn’t say anything nice about me. Otherwise, she wouldn’t want to catch me every time we meet."

Tang Ming hummed oddly, comparing the violent Lin Xue to the Tan Ruoxi before him, concluding that Tan Ruoxi was more fitting to be a ’police flower’; Lin Xue was too aggressive.

"Initially, that was the case, but recently she seems to be praising you quite often. She’s been worried that the Qin Family might retaliate against you for your brave act of killing their vicious dog,"

Tan Ruoxi said with a peculiar expression, having never seen Lin Xue care about someone so much in all the time she had known her.

"If that’s the case, then there’s no problem. After all, what I did this time was a good deed."

Tang Ming had an epiphany and finally understood the reason behind Lin Xue’s change of attitude toward him.

"No, that’s not right. I’ve always been doing good deeds. It’s just that Lin Xue always mistook me for a villain."

"That’s what they call ’no discord, no concord’. It’s a kind of fate. What brought you in this time?"

Tan Ruoxi curiously inquired.

"A woman hit me with her car and then refused to compensate. Just so happened, Lin Xue was passing by, so I was caught by her once again,"

Tang Ming said gloomily.

"If she really wanted to catch you, you wouldn’t be wandering around the police station so freely."

Tan Ruoxi slightly frowned and asked uncertainly, "Could that woman be someone sent by the Qin Family?"

"Maybe? Lin Xue seems to be interrogating her. I don’t know what came of it?"

Tang Ming shrugged indifferently. He knew very well Shen Yan’s identity, just an unlucky female assassin.

"Where is Lin Xue?"

Just at that moment, an abrupt voice sounded.

A young man wearing a black leather jacket, with his nose in the air and carrying himself with arrogance, walked into the police station.

"Who are you?"

Immediately, an officer stepped forward to ask.

"Who cares who I am? I just want to see Lin Xue. All you need to tell me is where she is!"

The youth glanced at the officer and said with extreme arrogance, "Forget it, I’ll find her myself. I can’t be bothered to talk to a nobody like you."

Pushing the officer aside, the youth swaggered around the police station looking for someone. Many officers were angry, but no one stepped forward to stop him because this guy had some background.

"Why is this ancestor here?"

Tan Ruoxue exclaimed in shock, saying with disgust, "He has no manners at all!"

"Who is this dumbass? He’s even more arrogant than me. Could it be that he’s a habitual criminal often caught by Lin Xue?"

Tang Ming glanced at the youth and asked Tan Ruoxi with curiosity.

"His name is Hao Jian. He’s a pursuer of Lin Xue and seems to have quite the background. Even our chief has to give him face."

Tan Ruoxi introduced him indifferently, but inside she felt sorry for Lin Xue, being pursued by such an idiot. It was simply torture!

"Pfft!"

Hearing this, Tang Ming couldn’t help but laugh.

"What a ridiculous name, and what he does is equally ridiculous!"

"What do you mean? What’s wrong with his name?"

Tan Ruoxi looked at Tang Ming with confusion.

"Hao Jian, it sounds just like ’cheap person.’ Really so cheap!"

Tang Ming explained with a chuckle.

"Haha, you’re really evil with your words. No wonder Lin Xue gets so annoyed with you."

Tan Ruoxi finally got it and couldn’t help but laugh and scold.

"Not bad, right? Still, I’m more normal than this super cheap guy who dares to pursue Lin Xue the violent girl. He doesn’t have a masochist tendency, does he?"

Thinking of Lin Xue’s fiery temperament, Tang Ming said with an evil look on his face, "Someone even dares to pursue Lin Xue. There are really all kinds amongst the heavens!"

"Don’t talk about Lin Xue like that. She’s actually very outstanding, and many men pursue her."

Tan Ruoxi gave Tang Ming a white look and then seriously said, "However, it seems like the person Lin Xue likes is you. She’s only shown such concern for one person, you."

Hearing this, Tang Ming shook uncontrollably, "Cut it out. If she doesn’t bother me, I’m grateful enough. Don’t you dare..."

"Who does Lin Xue like?"

Before Tang Ming could finish speaking, a cold voice suddenly rang out.

Looking up, Tang Ming and Tan Ruoxi saw Hao Jian walking over with a gloomy face.

"This is trouble."

Tan Ruoxi’s expression changed slightly as she stepped in front of Tang Ming, warning, "You go first, I’ll stop him."

"Why should I leave when I haven’t done anything wrong?"

Tang Ming was taken aback.

"Right, don’t go. Explain yourself clearly, or I’ll kill you."

Hao Jian approached, pointing at Tang Ming and threatening.

"Idiot, if you dare point at me again, believe it or not, I’ll break your fingers."

Tang Ming’s face grew cold, completely annoyed at being threatened for no reason.

"Wow, you’re pretty arrogant!"

Upon hearing this, Hao Jian laughed loudly, pointing at Tang Ming with his finger and taunting, "Do you know who I am? If you’ve got the guts, break my fingers. If you don’t dare, I’ll lend you some courage, how about that?"

"Truly cheap indeed!"

Tang Ming smirked, moving swiftly to grab Hao Jian’s finger and squeezing hard.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, let go!"

Hao Jian never expected Tang Ming to actually make a move, and with such speed that he didn’t even have the chance to avoid it.

Tan Ruoxi didn’t expect Tang Ming to take action either. Thinking about how even the chief was careful around Hao Jian, she feared Tang Ming could cause serious trouble, "Tang Ming, don’t be impulsive, let him go."
