"Die, Beast, tell me, why did you offend my client?" Ouyang Xiaoya regarded him coldly in the villa.

Lin Hai blinked pitifully, sniffed with a sour nose, looking so pitiable that even Queen Qi by his side felt sympathy for Beast Lin.

"Stop with that act for this CEO, and impersonating my brother, too. Or should I just let you play the part of a brother?" Ouyang Xiaoya said angrily.

"Hehe, CEO, I was worried that you'd be fooled by some young man, tricked and left with nothing. Imagine falling from a wealthy beauty to a plain Jane and a female loser, how pitiable that would be." Lin Hai's face was apologetically smiling.

Listening to the words of dead Beast, Ouyang Xiaoya actually felt both anger and joy in her heart.

Angry because Lin Hai always liked to play with fire, causing her to worry from time to time.

Joyful because, even though dead Beast's methods were vile, his heart was with her. He cherished her because he cared, only that the way he cherished was always strange.

"Humph, I don't need you to manage my taste in men," Ouyang Xiaoya rolled her eyes as she spoke.

Upon hearing this, Lin Hai was not pleased.

"CEO, after all, you're my fiancée, I'd like to see which man dares to like you."

After speaking, Lin Hai even clenched his fists as if he was showing off.

"Oh? Beast Lin, didn't expect you to be so domineering today, tell me, how would you react if other men liked me?" Ouyang Xiaoya huffed and asked.

Lin Hai clenched his fists so they cracked, gritted his teeth like swearing an oath, and patted his chest saying: "Whoever likes you, I'll beat them until they can't take care of themselves, and we'll see who dares to snatch my wife."

"Who's your wife? Semi-illiterate, huh, violent and barbaric." Ouyang Xiaoya did not show Lin Hai a pleasant face, but deep down, she felt as sweet as if she had tasted honey. Women like their men to be smart, successful, handsome, yet also want them to be domineering and capable of conquering her.

And not to mention, Lin Hai's current domineering look, holding his fists, tilting his head, with his beard scruffy, kinda had the vibe of a "domineering village chief."

Queen Qi watching from the side also had bright eyes; she liked Beast Lin just like this, and felt jealous at the same time, thinking that she must persevere in the end, hoping that dead Beast would change his mind and fall at her feet in her uniform skirt.

Suddenly, Queen Qi's phone rang.

"Hello? Director Xiao? Good day, I'm dealing with some household matters and will come to the police station right away."

"Qi Weiwei, you are temporarily not needed for work because you are suspected of malpractice," came the cold voice after picking up the phone.

"What?" Queen Qi widened her beautiful eyes in disbelief.

"For now, you are suspended, take it as a break. Specific matters will be informed to you later."

"Director Xiao, what did I do wrong? Why are you suspending me!"

"As I said, there are public allegations against you for malpractice, sheltering criminals, and accepting illicit income. The disciplinary committee is investigating now. To avoid suspicion, we have to suspend you. Don't worry, as soon as the disciplinary committee's investigation is over, I will have you back at work right away."

On the phone, Xiao Selang's tone was unfamiliar as ever.

"Director Xiao, I am not that kind of person!"

"Officer Qi, I understand your feelings. The organization is concerned and wants to protect you. When you come back later, we'll process the handover, and Li will temporarily act as the head of the criminal investigation team," Xiao Selang's tone left no room for doubt.

"But..."

"There are no 'buts,' Officer Qi, this is an order, and you must comply with the organization's arrangements!"

"I haven't made any mistakes."

"All right, Officer Qi, goodbye."

A click, and the call was hung up on the other end.

Queen Qi was stunned.

Always diligent in her work, always at the forefront during the most dangerous operations, always acting with integrity, how could she possibly be guilty of malpractice?!

She still owes thousands on her credit card and can only pay it off when she gets her salary next month. Would she really need to do that if she was embezzling and taking bribes?

Xiao Selang's cold and distant tone made it unbelievable to her. Is this the superior she had always respected?

Biting her lips tightly, Queen Qi lowered her head to look at her uniform, and the sense of grievance in her heart surged like a tide, with tears swirling in her eyes.

Being a good police officer was the dying wish of her father and her own goal and dream!

But at this moment, it's been ruthlessly taken away from her.

"Weiwei, what's wrong?" Ouyang Xiaoya noticed Queen Qi's unusual behavior and asked with concern as she looked into her moist eyes.

Lin Hai also noticed that Queen Qi wasn't in the right state, very depressed.

"What happened, Officer Qi?"

Queen Qi bit her lips hard, trying her best to hold back the tears, deeply inhaling with her nose turning red.

"Officer Qi, what's wrong? Who's bullying you? I'll sort them out immediately!"

Lin Hai couldn't bear to see the people around him cry, preferring to bleed himself rather than seeing the people he cared about sad.

"Weiwei, if there's anything, just say it. We can figure it out together." Ouyang Xiaoya was inherently kind, and although she usually appeared as an ice queen, she was like Lin Hai not wanting to see loved ones upset.

Both of them looked at Queen Qi, pitiful and in distress, waiting for her to answer.

"I, I've been suspended for investigation," Queen Qi said, unable to control her tears any longer, they fell drop by drop.

"What?!"

"On what grounds?!"

Ouyang Xiaoya and Lin Hai exclaimed in surprise simultaneously.

"They're accusing me of shielding criminals, dereliction of duty, and taking bribes," she sobbed.

She had always seen herself as a tomboy, a queen; if she didn't stay strong, no one else would be brave for her.

She entrusted this belief in her profession and that uniform.

But now, everything seemed to have been cruelly torn apart, turned into a broken dream, scattered back to the harsh reality.

"Who reported this? I'll take care of him!"

Seeing the tears falling from Queen Qi's eyes, Lin Hai felt extremely pained.

Ouyang Xiaoya also hurriedly offered words of comfort.

"That's not right!"

Lin Hai suddenly slapped his head as if he'd thought of something.

Both women turned to look at him.

"There's something fishy about this!"

"Fishy? I've been reading novels on Chuangshi Chinese Network lately. Are you referring to that author's trick? That person is a top-notch writer!"

"Cough cough," Lin Hai nearly choked.

"CEO, the 'fishy' I'm talking about means someone is playing dirty tricks, not what this or that network says. The only forum I know online is the Liucao Forum."

After all, as a former King of Soldiers and King of Assassins, he had a sharp eye for detail.

"Have you not noticed? The part about shielding criminals, it just doesn't add up. I think someone's framing Officer Qi."

"Also, the phrase 'shielding criminals' sounds exactly like something Xiao Selang always harps on about." Lin Hai had just heard Xiao Selang going on about sheltering criminals; it very well might be Xiao Selang stirring up trouble!
