Chapter 123: Chapter 123: The Intellectually Degraded Man

"I’m not who to you? What, you’re looking for someone else?" Captain Jiang was almost sick to his stomach at this point.

His eyes had even reddened a bit.

Any woman who dared to say ’yes’ would face consequences...

Lu Jing felt that sometimes this man seemed brainless, though usually sharper than anyone else.

Of course, even immortals struggle with emotions and desires, let alone Captain Jiang, a mere mortal.

Isn’t it very normal to be less intelligent in the face of love?

"Think whatever you want, I’m going to work now, don’t block my way."

Tsk tsk.

The man stepped aside, but as the woman passed by, he grabbed her.

"What are you doing?"

"What do you think I want to do? Don’t you know?" Lu Jing was speechless:

"Jiang Ye, stop messing around."

Not paying attention to what time it was.

The already less intelligent man seemed ready to throw caution to the wind:

"Where am I messing around? You might as well try, let’s see if you dare."

Lu Jing immediately said:

"I don’t dare, so can you let go now? I’m going to be late!"

Work still couldn’t be delayed, they both had the same bottom line on this.

After all, although their professions were different, the nature of their work was the same:

Both served the people.

"I’ll take you."

Lu Jing didn’t bother to respond, grabbed her bag, phone, and some documents, and planned to leave.

Jiang Ye hurried after her.

However, as soon as he reached the doorway, someone urgently called out:

"Captain Jiang, there’s a call from headquarters for you."

Shit!

"Got it, I’ll be right there."

Lu Jing quietly breathed a sigh of relief; otherwise, explaining to colleagues again, like last time, would be necessary.

Just walking along alone when suddenly she was caught.

"Wait for me to pick you up tonight, don’t cause trouble."

In broad daylight, during the busy hour of the workday, the roads were filled with cars and people.

Lu Jing was so alarmed that she immediately broke free from the man’s hold:

"Answer your phone!"

Fine.

Let’s just let you slip away this time.

...

The fire brigade and Nanxi University Affiliated were across from each other, truly quite close, a brisk walk would only take a few minutes.

And today, as soon as Lu Jing stepped into the office, she was surrounded.

"Doctor Lu, we heard your dorm was burglarized last night?"

"Did you lose anything?"

"Were there any injuries?"

Question after question.

But it was clear everyone was concerned about her.

Lu Jing replied:

"It’s okay, it’s okay, thanks for your concern, the police came quickly, took the person away, and nothing was stolen."

"That’s good, we were so worried when we heard the news this morning."

"Nowadays, thieves are all desperados."

"Right, heard they’re mostly on drugs too, so if you run into them, don’t confront them directly. Better to be safe, money and possessions are not as important as life."

Listening to everyone, Lu Jing’s heart trembled.

She couldn’t help but recall last night’s events.

A chill slowly rose from her feet.

Fortunately, the director came out of his office:

"What’s going on here?" he shouted.

Finally, everyone dispersed.

Lu Jing had intended to leave but got called by the director:

"Xiao Lu, come here."

In the office, Lu Jing entered:

"Teacher, did you need me for something?" she asked.

Director Long waved his hand:

"I heard about last night, are you okay?"

"I’m fine!"

"Heard you moved out from the dorm overnight?"

"Yes!"

"Captain Jiang from the fire brigade across the street?"

Cough cough.

Lu Jing suddenly felt uncomfortable:

"Teacher, how do you know?" she asked.
