Chapter 171: Chapter 162: This bastard did it on purposeQi Manlin furrowed her eyebrows. Lin Mu wasn’t wrong; this man hasn’t done anything illegal. Catching him was pointless! "So, what do you think we should do?" Qi Manlin asked, looking at Lin Mu. Lin Mu smiled, "It’s simple. We wait until he makes his move, then catch him red-handed. That way, he can’t talk his way out of it, right?" "Hmm, not bad." Qi Manlin nodded. Even though Lin Mu was a bit of a pushover, Qi Manlin wasn’t giving up. She kept watching the man and then saw the girl opposite him drink her juice. A few minutes later, Qi Manlin noticed the pretty girl start massaging her forehead. Her face turned pink, and she seemed a bit dizzy! The man said a few words to the girl, then helped her up and headed out of the restaurant. "Lin Mu, they’re leaving. Let’s go, follow them!" Qi Manlin called out to Lin Mu, grabbed her small handbag, and walked out. Lin Mu also sensed something was off and followed Qi Manlin out of the restaurant. They say following good people leads to learning from them. Now, by following a female cop, he was learning the trade of catching thieves! The man helped the girl into a BMW. Upon seeing this, they hurriedly got into their own car. "Wild Girl, I was wrong about you. I thought you were a lazy fool, but you’re actually a diligent and responsible police officer!" Lin Mu praised. "Cut the crap! I suspect that man is the wanted criminal, Ron. Catching him would be a major achievement!" Qi Manlin started the car and slowly tailed the black BMW. The black BMW drove at a steady pace in front, while Qi Manlin kept a reasonable distance behind it. Soon, the BMW stopped in front of a budget hotel. After getting out, the man helped the girl inside. The girl seemed completely drunk, wobbling as she walked! "Knew it, up to no good. Let’s get out!" Seeing the man help the girl into the hotel, Qi Manlin signaled to Lin Mu, and they got out of the car. By the time Qi Manlin and Lin Mu entered the hotel, the man had already taken the girl into the elevator. Qi Manlin looked around but couldn’t spot them, so she approached the front desk, flashing her police badge. "Hello, I’m a police officer. Could you tell me which floor and room that couple just headed to?" "Fourth floor, Room 405!" "Police business, we need your assistance. Please give me a room key for 405!" Qi Manlin said. Given that it was police business, the hotel staff had to comply. The clerk retrieved a key card for Room 405 and handed it to Qi Manlin. "Thank you," Qi Manlin said as she, along with Lin Mu, headed for the elevator. Sёarch* The nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. They took the elevator directly to the fourth floor. Once there, Qi Manlin and Lin Mu stepped out. "Room 405 is that way," Lin Mu pointed to the left. Qi Manlin nodded, then quietly walked towards Room 405! Once at the door of Room 405, Qi Manlin looked up and then pressed her ear against the door, trying to hear what was going on inside! Lin Mu chuckled to himself. The little cop was funny; not only would she not hear any sounds like this, but she also risked alerting any skilled person inside. If someone attacked from inside, she wouldn’t be able to dodge. Suddenly, Lin Mu frowned, stepped forward, and wrapped his arm around Qi Manlin’s shoulders, pulling her to the side, and his mouth met her lips. God knows, Lin Mu didn’t actually intend to kiss Qi Manlin. It was just that with his exceptional sensing ability, Lin Mu seemed to hear someone approaching from inside! Qi Manlin’s eyes widened, attempting to push Lin Mu away, but at that moment, the door of Room 405 opened, and the man walked out. He saw Lin Mu and Qi Manlin in an intimate moment and didn’t make a big deal out of it, turning to head to a restroom down the corridor! After the man entered the restroom, Lin Mu finally pulled his mouth away from Qi Manlin’s. Qi Manlin was panting, her face flushed. It was hard to tell whether she was red from anger or embarrassment! Qi Manlin was nearly beside herself. Today, she inexplicably experienced being kissed twice in one day, and both times by Lin Mu. It drove her crazy! "You, you dared to kiss me?" Qi Manlin said angrily. Without explaining, Lin Mu saw an old cleaning lady emerging from a room nearby and quickly pulled Qi Manlin along with him inside. Before Qi Manlin could protest, Lin Mu spoke first, "I’m puzzled. You police officers, don’t you have any basic risk awareness?" Qi Manlin shot Lin Mu a glance, "Of course I do! You think I need you to teach me? What’s wrong with you today, always looking for chances to kiss me?" "Damn... Kiss you? Do you even know? If I hadn’t pulled you in for that kiss just in time, you might have died!" Lin Mu warned seriously. Qi Manlin rolled her eyes at Lin Mu, "Stop trying to scare me. So what if he opened the door? Is he going to kill me?" "Ha, you’re not wrong. He might actually attack. I sensed a trace of killing intent from him. If I’m right, this guy is Ron, the one you’re looking for!" "Sensed killing intent? Do you think you’re a police dog? And why are you so sure about that? I think you’re just looking for an excuse to take advantage of me." Qi Manlin snorted lightly. "Damn it, Wild Girl, you call me narcissistic. I find you more self-absorbed than I am. You know? By sticking your head to the door like that, the moment he opened it, he could have taken you out, and I wouldn’t have been able to stop him in time!" Lin Mu said, exasperated. "Stop trying to scare me! Quit making excuses for kissing me!" Qi Manlin wouldn’t listen to Lin Mu’s explanation. "Alright, I’ll let you kiss me back, how about that?" "Bastard, who wants to kiss your rotten mouth? We have business to do. Since your ears are so sharp, eavesdropping is up to you. Or I’ll tell Feifei you kissed me and see how she handles you!" Qi Manlin threatened. "Really? Threatening me! I never cave to threats, but I still want to help you catch this guy. However, this doesn’t mean I’m accepting your threat. I’m doing it for the well-being of Wancheng’s citizens!" Lin Mu said as he walked to the wall and pressed his ear against it.
