Chapter 1511 - 1817: Ubiquitous Enhancement Potions (1)

Inside the briefcase, there were unexpectedly three vials of drugs, and not only that, the bottles of those three vials were labeled with the English word ’Enhancement’.

Enhancement drugs? Ling Chen frowned slightly, how was this possible? How could enhancement drugs fall into the hands of such low-level criminals?

"Officer Xia, can I take a look at this thing?"

"No way!" Xia Mutong refused outright without even thinking: "This is evidence of a crime, no one can touch it." Saying so, Xia Mutong carefully sized up Ling Chen and asked, "Where have you been lately, there’s been no news at all, I thought you disappeared."

"Busy abroad for a while, just got back to East Sea City. Well, Officer Xia, if there’s nothing else, I’ll head out." With that, Ling Chen turned and was ready to leave.

"Wait!" Xia Mutong said indignantly, "Rare to see you, and you’re leaving just like that? Aren’t we friends anymore."

"Of course we’re friends, does Officer Xia have any instructions?"

"Go sit outside for a while, once I’m off work, we’ll grab a bite to eat, I have something to tell you."

"Sure, no problem." Ling Chen smiled and nodded, greeted Zhang Ling, and then left the residential building.

"Captain Xia, do you know him?" After Ling Chen left, Zhang Ling asked with great curiosity. However, there was a hint of gossip in her tone.

"Don’t ask what shouldn’t be asked, just do your job well." Xia Mutong felt a bit overwhelmed by the new recruit assigned to her from above. Sometimes she couldn’t help but question whether this was the elite from the police academy.

Before long, reinforcements arrived and transported all the criminals and evidence back to the police station. After dealing with the issues, Xia Mutong came downstairs alone, only to see Ling Chen leaning against a big tree, waiting for her to come down.

Walking up, Xia Mutong patted Ling Chen’s shoulder and said, "Let’s go, I’ll treat you to a late-night snack."

Ling Chen grinned: "Officer Xia is treating, I certainly have to make an appearance. Let’s go, my car is parked over there."

The two got in the car, and Ling Chen drove directly to the old city, now the new economic development zone, looking for a food stall. Since he left the old city, he hadn’t been here to eat for a long time, he quite missed the taste here.

After ordering a few braised dishes and a few bottles of beer, Ling Chen poured a glass for Xia Mutong and asked with a smile, "Officer Xia, why are you in the mood to come out for a late-night snack with me today?"

Xia Mutong picked up the glass and drank it clean in one gulp, saying, "I’m preparing to leave East Sea City."

"Leave East Sea City?" Ling Chen was taken aback and asked in confusion, "Why? Aren’t you doing well in the police station?"

"It’s because I’m too capable, the higher-ups decided to transfer me to a post in Beijing." Saying this, Xia Mutong’s lips slightly turned up, showing a hint of pride and satisfaction.

"Turns out it’s a promotion, you scared me there, I thought you were going to quit. Come on!" Ling Chen raised his glass high, a sincere smile on his face, "Congratulations! May you rise one rank a year, strive to become a high official soon."

"What’s so good about being a high official, I prefer doing practical work, not suited for sitting in an office."

"So you asked me out for a late-night snack today as a farewell?"

"More or less." Xia Mutong nodded and said, "The transfer report has already been issued, leaving for Beijing early tomorrow, today was my last case in East Sea City." Saying this, Xia Mutong showed a somewhat poignant expression, she sighed and said, "Honestly, I’ve been in East Sea City for so long, there aren’t many friends around, you’re one of the few."

"It’s because of your strong-willed nature, you’re more dominating than those men. If you ask me, you’d better change a bit, show the softer side of women."

Hearing this, Xia Mutong couldn’t help but glare at Ling Chen, and said petulantly, "What do you mean, are you saying I’m not womanly enough?"

"Not that you’re not womanly enough, it’s just..." Ling Chen was about to continue speaking, but feeling the murderous gaze from Xia Mutong, he instantly closed his mouth and swallowed back the words he was about to say.

"Why aren’t you continuing?"

"Well... every woman has her own charm, wouldn’t you say?" Ling Chen forced a smile, not daring to say anything further.

Unconsciously, more than twenty bottles of beer had appeared on their table, Xia Mutong’s tolerance to alcohol was good, after drinking more than ten bottles, she could still maintain clarity, though her cheeks were a bit flushed. Under the dim light, looking at Xia Mutong’s slightly tipsy and confused gaze, and her brilliantly red pretty cheek, Ling Chen couldn’t help but swallow.

Just talking about the charm of women, now was when Xia Mutong was truly exuding charm.

The drinking continued until past midnight, Ling Chen then helped the drunken Xia Mutong leave the food stall. Getting in the car, Xia Mutong’s body almost slumped over the seat, head tilted to one side, eyes closed, seemingly asleep.

This woman... Ling Chen shook his head, knowing Xia Mutong for so long, he had never been to her house, he didn’t even know where she lived. Helplessly, Ling Chen took out his phone and called Hu Fei for help in finding Xia Mutong’s address. Soon, Hu Fei sent the location to his phone.

After a drive of over twenty minutes, Ling Chen finally arrived at the destination. Opening the car door, he looked at the already asleep Xia Mutong and lifted her petite form, carrying her up the stairs to her house. Xia Mutong wasn’t a local, this was a place she rented. Finding the key from Xia Mutong’s pocket, Ling Chen directly opened the door and entered.

Turning on the light inside, he saw the room of less than forty square meters was very exquisite, spotless, and although there wasn’t much furniture, everything was in order. Click! Ling Chen tsked, never expected the fiery little girl had such a virtuous side, really unexpected.

Carrying Xia Mutong into the bedroom, Ling Chen felt a rush, nearly having a nosebleed. In Xia Mutong’s bedroom, there was a clothesline, hung with various intimate garments in bright colors, making Ling Chen’s eyes swirl.

Finally calming his mind, Ling Chen exhaled, then gently placed Xia Mutong’s petite form on the bed. Just as Ling Chen was about to pull a quilt to cover her, a hand suddenly reached out from under the quilt, grabbing Ling Chen’s wrist.

"Don’t, don’t go!"

Hearing Xia Mutong’s murmuring voice, Ling Chen smiled slightly, "Don’t worry, I won’t leave, you go to sleep."

As he spoke, Xia Mutong’s eyes suddenly opened, staring unblinkingly at Ling Chen standing by the bedside.

Ling Chen felt somewhat uncomfortable under Xia Mutong’s gaze, awkwardly smiling as he said, "Well... I’ll go pour you a glass of water." After saying that, Ling Chen got up intending to leave, but Xia Mutong’s hand continued to clasp his wrist tightly, with no sign of letting go.

Looking at Xia Mutong’s fiery eyes, Ling Chen couldn’t help but cough lightly. Damn! Was this little girl tempting him?
