Chapter Eighteen: Policewoman Guan Tingting

  "Hah——" The office erupted into a loud laughter, even Duan Ju, who was only slightly attractive, couldn't help but laugh so hard that she doubled over.

  Gu Tingting was furious, picked up a thick book from the office desk and threw it hard at Liu Ermao, cursing: "Six-eared cat, go to death!"

  Liu Ermao dodged to the side, but his mouth didn't spare Guan Tingting, still imitating her voice: "Yu Ge, do you know? I'm Guan Tingting, the police flower of the criminal police team, why don't you marry me?"

  I shouted in my mouth: "Second hair, don't mess around!", but I was delighted in my heart! Damn it, if I could really touch Guan Tingting's high chest, the feeling would be wonderful beyond words.

  Gu Tingting's face turned red as she sat at her desk, sulking. Duan Juan suddenly stopped laughing and shouted: "Enough, Liu Er Mao! If you want to be cheap, go to the Yin Yin Leisure Club, there are plenty of old women there!"

  Duan Juan's words were like an imperial edict, and Liu Ermao immediately stopped talking.

  Lin Jie laughed and said: "A drop of sauce on tofu, one thing brings down another! Your six-eared cat, now you know what's scary? Hehe..."

  Duan Junbai gave Lin Jie a glance, but didn't say anything and continued working on her computer.

  It's about time, I knew it was time to make a move. I cleared my throat and said loudly: "Brothers and sisters, I have a proposal, do you want to hear it?"

  Gu Tingting was the first to express her desire to listen.

  I said: "I'm a newcomer, just joined your office, decided to invite you all for dinner after work this afternoon, what do you think?"

  Four people applauded in agreement, Gu Tingting was the first to shout out: "Agreed! I raise both hands in support!" After that, she said to Liu Ermao: "Alright! Six Ears Cat, you're so stingy, learn from this!"

  Liu Ermao panted and replied: "How am I stingy?!"

  Gu Tingting snorted disdainfully: "You know yourself!" Then she ignored him and did her own thing.

  In the afternoon when I was on duty, I was reading a case. Suddenly, I felt someone poking my back with a pen. I turned around and it was Guan Tingting. She handed me a piece of paper, which I unfolded to find several elegant small characters: "After dinner, I'll invite you to watch the song and dance magic Phoenix."

  I was delighted, this police flower took the initiative to attack, and it was true that she had real guns and live ammunition.

  I suddenly remembered that I promised Qin Su'er to wait for her at the rental house, and I was hesitant about whether to go or not. But thinking that you can't have both fish and bear's paw, I decided to reject Guan Tingting.

  Lin Jie curiously walked over and saw those few words, softly asking: "One-night stand?"

  I nodded and signaled him not to make a sound, writing "not going" after that sentence.

  "How can you not go?" Lin Jie was anxious and repeatedly said: "Go! You must go!"

  Alas, the emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is! How would he know that I have an appointment with another beauty tonight? I neatly stack up the papers and toss them onto Guan Tingting's desk.

  Lin Jie said in a low voice to me: "If you don't go, I'll go." I said: "Okay, you tell her you're going."

  Lin Jie actually tore off a piece of paper and wrote on it: "Shen Shangyu won't go with you to see the charming phoenix, I'll go with you."

  Before long, Guan Tingting handed the paper back to him, on which were written two words: "Go die!", followed by a large exclamation mark.

  Lin Jie's face fell.

  Gu Tingting threw the crumpled paper onto my office desk again, I unfolded it and saw that she had written: "So you won't give me face? If you don't go, I'll ignore you from now on."

  Damn it, looks like this chick's police flower is really serious, if I don't agree to her, in the future every day facing her icy face will be worse than death.

  Just agree with her. Didn't Qin Su'er say "If the two of us are meant to be together for a long time, must we be together every morning and evening?"? Just tell her you have overtime tonight when you reply to her message.

  I thought for a moment and wrote on the back of the note: "Ting Ting, I promise you."

  In Lin Jie's envious and resentful gaze, I saw Guan Tingting in a state of excitement throughout the entire afternoon, humming the most popular song at the time, "Who Do You Love".

  No choice, who made me so handsome? Don't even mention that proud feeling in my heart.

  Dinner was at Xiangxi Wangshi Bar, and I also invited Zhou Dui and Tian Boguang.

  Damn it, Tianji that kid's pair of thief eyes have been stuck on Guanting since he walked into the bar.

  I don't know if Guan Tingting felt it, but I did. Tianji's gaze made my whole body feel hairy just by looking at him. I quietly kicked Tianji under the table, hinting for him to restrain himself and not leave a bad impression in front of the policewoman.

  Damn it, I don't know if he's doing it on purpose or didn't hear me, holding a wine glass and shouting that he wants to drink with Guan Tingting.

  Guān Tíngtíng was generous with her drinks and had an astonishing capacity for liquor. Before long, Tián Jī was drunk senseless by her and fell onto the table.

  I said to everyone: "Sorry, you guys drink slowly, he's drunk, I'll send him back and come right over!"

  Zhou said okay, but Guan Tingting was not happy about it. She might be worried that I wouldn't come back once I left. She said: "No way! Shang Yu, you're the host, you can't leave, everyone's still having fun!"

  Her reasoning was irrefutable, and I stopped: "What can we do then?"

  Gu Tingting pointed at Lin Jie: "You! Take the car with the jade ornament and go send him off!"

  Lin Jie drank a little wine, stood up with a red face, and pointed at Liu Er Mao, saying: "Ting Ting, why is it me, why not him?"

  Guān Tíngtíng didn't make any sense: "Lín Jié, you bastard! Is it that I ask you to do something and you're not willing?"

  Lin Jie's head drooped immediately, and he reluctantly replied, "Fine, let's go!"

  "It seems there's a saying that's true after all - heroes can't resist beautiful women, especially not beauties like Tingting!" Zhou led us in a loud burst of laughter.

  After dinner, everyone dispersed. Lin Jie knew that Guan Tingting had invited me to watch the song and dance program, so he asked with a thick face: "Tingting, why don't you invite me together?"

  Gu Tingting's almond-shaped eyes widened, and she laughed scoldingly: "You're not even qualified to be a lamp! Who told you that you can't compare to Yu Shang in terms of looks? Want to be a lamp? No way, you don't even have the qualifications to be one!"

  "Alright, forget about it then! I'm leaving!"

  "Go ahead!" Guan Tingting said with a smile.

  Lin Jie stood still and continued: "Did I really leave?"

  Seeing Lin Jie's pitiful look, I couldn't bear it and said: "Ting Ting, just agree to Lin Jie, okay?"

  "Alright! Since our police team leader pleaded for you, Lin Jie, I'll agree to your request!"

  Lin Jie was overjoyed and ran over, saying: "Thank you Tingting!"

  Gu Tingting stretched out one finger and lightly waved it in front of his eyes: "No! I'm not talking about tonight, but the future! Tonight I'm inviting Shang Yu. In the future when I invite everyone in the office, I'll bring you along too!" After finishing speaking, she didn't even bother with Lin Jie, grabbed my hand and said: "Shang Yu, let's go!".

  I drove the car far away, and I could still see Lin Jie standing foolishly in the original place through the rearview mirror. He must have liked Guan Tingting. Faced with this woman's strong offensive, should I consider Lin Jie's feelings or surrender? I really couldn't make up my mind.

  Damn it, is there a cat in this world that doesn't eat fishy food? As long as Guan Tingting really wants to be with me, then I'm sorry, I can only indulge her.

  The Charm of the Phoenix is indeed a rich and colorful song and dance program, showcasing all sorts of ethnic characteristics of mysterious Xiangxi, such as releasing soul-calling flags and driving corpses, which made my hair stand on end.

  She Gu Tingting had probably watched it many times, her mind elsewhere, and her head leaned against my shoulder intentionally or unintentionally. I wanted to push her away but didn't want to, because the faint scent of her body smelled incredibly comfortable. My heart was racing as I finished watching the entire song and dance program.

  The crowd dispersed, and in the midst of the throng, I seemed to catch a glimpse of Lin Jie's figure flashing by. When I looked again, he was gone without a trace. Maybe it was just my imagination? I didn't dare to be certain, nor did I tell Guan Tingting.

  Guān Tíngtíng and Duàn Jù were both outsiders, after coming to the criminal police team to work, they had been living in the collective dormitory of the team. I wanted to send her back to the team, but she insisted on going to my rental house to take a look. Having no choice, I could only agree.

  There's an old saying that goes, "A rabbit doesn't eat the grass near its burrow." Although I'm a professional at ruining the lives of innocent girls and a playboy in the dating scene, I haven't sunk to the point where I'd hit on a female coworker on my first day of work. That's a matter of style, crossing the line.

  I drove Tingting to the front of my rental house and reminded myself that I must stay sober.

  As soon as I got on the bus, I seemed to hear a deep sigh, but when I turned around, it was gone.

  I asked Guan Tingting: "Tingting, did you hear anything?"

  Gu Tingting looked around and smiled: "Shang Yu, it's so dark here, don't scare me! If you want to know what I heard, I heard your heartbeat!"

  This woman, usually with a cold and icy demeanor, unexpectedly turned out to be quite promiscuous, and now she's testing me with her words!

  I thought to myself, but said with a smile: "Hehe, Tingting, you're so humorous!"

  No sooner had I finished speaking than I felt a gust of wind behind me, cool and refreshing. After a sigh, I saw a white figure swiftly enter the house behind the plum blossom mountain.

  At this moment, Guan Tingting also saw it and was obviously frightened. She grabbed my hand and said anxiously: "Shang Yu, what is that?"

  My heart skipped a beat, as I had the experience of seeing a ghostly shadow in the old mansion and knew that the white figure was not human. But I didn't want to show fear in front of Guan Tingting, so I took a deep breath and said: "Tingting, if you want to find out whether it's a person or a ghost, I'll accompany you into the mountain to take a look?"

  I thought Guan Tingting would refuse, but I was wrong.

  I didn't expect this woman's curiosity to be so heavy, she actually agreed, sometimes curiosity can be deadly.

  Under the cold moonlight, I nervously took Guan Tingting into the Mei Mountains. After entering, I found that although there were not many trees in the mountains, they were very tall and large, with dense branches and leaves, like a giant umbrella blocking the light of the moon and stars, making it extremely dark inside. The night wind blew by, causing the leaves to rustle, casting eerie shadows.

  After walking for a while in the morning, we didn't find anything, let alone ghosts, not even a rabbit. It seems that Guan Tingting is slightly disappointed, I don't understand why she has such strong curiosity.

  I said: "Ting Ting, maybe we saw things wrongly just now, let's go back?"

  "Impossible, we can't just come for nothing. As a detective, I absolutely cannot let go of any clues, no matter how small they may seem."

  She said so, I had no choice but to pluck up the courage and continue on with her.
