Suddenly, Lin Hai's body shivered, and he regained his ability to move.

He stretched and clenched his fingers, lifted his legs, and felt the bliss of freedom.

He quickly pulled up his pants, got dressed, dashed out of the room, and found himself in the living room, only to discover that Queen Qi was no longer there.

"Done for, Qi must hate me now."

A cross-stitch rose, red like blood, caught Lin Hai's attention on the floor.

Some red spots on it were glaringly out of place; clearly, they were human blood.

Staring at those bloodstains, Lin Hai could imagine how Queen Qi, accustomed to handcuffs and pistols, would stubbornly bite her red lips, fix her eyes, and clumsily attempt to sew a gift with sincerity.

"Qi must be really angry, happily thinking of presenting the gift to me, only to hear my slightly impatient tone, sigh..."

Lin Hai let out a deep sigh, slowly crouched down, picked up the cross-stitch red rose handkerchief, and carefully placed it in his pocket, planning to clear things up when he saw Queen Qi.

He took out his phone and dialed Queen Qi's number.

"Hello, the phone you have dialed is turned off…"

"Damn..." Lin Hai was speechless.

"Qi, I truly didn't mean it, I was wrong, I hope you can turn on your phone, we need to communicate properly, I miss you too," Lin Hai composed the message and sent it.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, the message vanished into thin air without any reply.

Sighing, Lin Hai was unaware that Queen Qi had already blacklisted his number using software, including blocking his messages, surpassing a man's imagination when a woman becomes wilful.

"Let it be, I'll explain when I get the chance. Anyway, I still need to hand over the evidence against Zhang Shenxu to her, using the police to oppress the drug trafficking and human trafficking activities of the RX organization in Huaxia."

Lin Hai shook his head.

Meanwhile, in her car, Queen Qi listened to a sad song, worsening her mood to its lowest.

"A dream within a dream that can't be awakened, confined red within the red thread"

"All remaining stimuli just pain from fatigue, no longer moved"

"Unattainable forever causing disturbances, those favored have nothing to fear"

"Rose red, a dream vulnerable to hurt, held in the hand yet slipping through the fingers, falling through…"

Queen Qi felt like the last line of the lyrics, ready to open her heart to Lin Hai, wanting to hold on tightly, yet realizing the dream was vulnerable, slipping through her fingers, and ultimately, falling through.

Tears once again uncontrollably dribbled down, wetting the steering wheel.

"Dead Lin Hai, stinky Lin Hai, dammit!"

"I'll never see you again, never again!"

"Wuu wuu, damn stinky Lin Hai."

Queen Qi wiped her tears while trying hard to control her emotions, as she was almost at her office and couldn't let others see her like this.

"No, I must turn my sadness into motivation, work hard, and imagine all those criminal scums as Beast Lin, striking them hard and clearly."

Queen Qi adjusted her mindset, stepped out of the car, regaining her queen style, took out the walkie-talkie, and shouted, "All units assemble, starting today for a week, thoroughly clean up all erotic massage places in Huadu!"

"Beast Lin, I hope you aren't partaking in any erotic massages, otherwise if you fall into this Queen's hands, I will send you straight to jail to pick up the soap!"

Queen Qi thought to herself with gritted teeth.

"Lin Hai, we have a long time ahead of us... no that's not right, we'll talk about it later... also not right, damn it, living with Beast Lin for too long, these words always unconsciously connect to sleazy things."

Tonight, Huadu is destined to be restless, as Queen Qi is about to start a sweeping cleanup.

In the villa, Lin Hai sighed helplessly, planning to go to the police station to explain things clearly to Queen Qi.

He didn't want to see Queen Qi heartbroken.

"One little white rabbit, two little white rabbits... Huh? Uncle, you're back?"

Huahua's cute voice rang out, seeing the dejected Lin Hai, her adorable big eyes twinkling with light, she bounced over to him.

"Uncle, it just so happens my shampoo just ran out, didn't you say you could conjure shampoo?"

Huahua asked Lin Hai seriously.

Lin Hai, who now had no mood to tease this little miss, said irritably, "Get lost, when did I ever say I could conjure shampoo?"

"But uncle, you clearly said so."

"You even said you have a big tube that can squeeze out Head & Shoulders..."

Huahua blinked her cute eyelashes, and with her little hands, she mimicked a special motion, saying earnestly and innocently.

Lin Hai was speechless, remembering he indeed teased Huahua like that.

But miss, why do you still remember this? If you do this gesture in front of Mrs. Ouyang and the others, I'd definitely be killed.

"Huahua, I was joking, just forget this joke."

"Hmph, no, never, uncle only knows how to lie, I find your gaze quite perverted," Huahua said with a naive yet cunning smile.

Lin Hai rolled his eyes, realizing that Huahua also had a mischievous side.

"What exactly are you trying to stir up, Miss Star?"

"Uncle, I just want some Head & Shoulders," Huahua seriously said.

"Cough cough, I really don't have Head & Shoulders, nor a big tube, I'm in a really bad mood now, please spare me," Lin Hai said with a somber face.

"Is that so? But I know you have a big tube," Huahua seriously said, her gaze drifting towards a certain part of Lin Hai.

Being stared at by an adorable and pure young girl with such a gaze was extremely embarrassing for Lin Hai.

"Uncle, I asked some people recently, they said that gesture means 'jerking off', it was so embarrassing for me, I don't care, you have to compensate me," Huahua waved her little fists cunningly.

"Uh, you actually know about it." Lin Hai was speechless again.

"Hehe, uncle, how about we make a deal? Last time you broke my balloon, uh no, the Pleasant Goat thing, I won't hold it against you, let's call it even, what do you think?" Huahua persuasively said.

Lin Hai always felt a sense of scheming from Huahua, but then thought again, what harm could she possibly do, so he nodded and agreed, "Alright, as long as it's not an unreasonable request, I'll agree."

"Good, this request isn't unreasonable at all, uncle, how about you be my personal bodyguard? I'll pay you a salary." Huahua had always wanted Lin Hai to be her bodyguard, and this time she finally caught him by the handle.

"Ah, you really don't give up." Lin Hai said, "Aren't you afraid I'm a pervert? That I might take advantage of you?"

"I'm not afraid, if you dare to bully me, I'll tell sister Ouyang, and let sister Ouyang castrate you," Huahua said fearlessly.

Lin Hai's mouth twitched.

"Uncle, I have a small concert the day after tomorrow, you'd better come and protect me closely," Huahua said with a cheerful smile.
