Chapter 205: Chapter 205: Having a Thick Skin Has Its Advantages

Lu Jing also got out of the car and stood by the side. At this point, a crowd of onlookers had already formed.

Soon, the traffic police arrived as well.

After getting a grasp of the situation, they began to disperse traffic.

After Jiang Ye had completely extinguished the fire, he walked straight towards Lu Jing. Upon reaching him, he grabbed his wrist outright:

"Let’s go."

"Mm."

On the other side, the driver who had been scared witless suddenly stopped shaking when he heard that his lifesaver was leaving; he scrambled over and clung to Jiang Ye’s legs:

"Benefactor, don’t go, don’t go!"

Honestly, Jiang Ye was really speechless. Why did this grown man like clinging to people’s legs so much?

And what’s more, he couldn’t just resort to brute force.

"Let go!"

"No, no, Benefactor, you saved me; I must repay you!"

Pfft!

Lu Jing couldn’t help but laugh out loud: if this were ancient times, wouldn’t it mean that there’s no way to repay but to devote oneself?

Cough cough, alright then, he had watched too many TV dramas as a kid, deeply poisoned by them.

Jiang Ye glared at him, but the glare had no intimidating effect whatsoever.

He then repeated,

"I said, let go! Hurry!"

Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude.

The man finally let go:

"Benefactor, which unit are you from?" he asked.

But he didn’t get a response.

That was because as soon as Jiang Ye was free, he immediately took the woman and left.

Tsk-tsk.

However, this wasn’t really a problem. Weren’t the traffic police still there?

They must have left their information!

...

Back in the taxi, the smile on Lu Jing’s face never stopped.

Jiang Ye watched helplessly:

"Is it that funny?"

"No, I’m not laughing at you."

"Then what are you laughing at?"

Only then did Lu Jing briefly recap the incident. After hearing it, Jiang Ye became even more helplessly frustrated.

At last, he said earnestly,

"Watch fewer of these worthless dramas in the future!"

Pfft!

"Why should I?"

Life and work are hard enough, you know?

Can’t I watch some TV dramas to lighten up?

Hmph!

What could Jiang Ye do?

Couldn’t hit, couldn’t scold, couldn’t argue.

"Fine, watch!"

Even the taxi driver in the front started laughing:

"You two seem to have a good relationship. Have you been together for a long time?"

This...

Lu Jing didn’t answer, but Jiang Ye directly spoke up:

"We’ve known each other since we were kids."

Just proudly so.

"Yo, not bad, childhood sweethearts, no wonder you get along so well."

Really?

Lu Jing was puzzled.

Afterward, Jiang Ye started chatting with the driver, and Lu Jing didn’t join in the whole time.

Of course, he also didn’t know what to say.

Being thick-skinned sometimes has its benefits.

That is, being able to chat with anyone.

However, the trip wasn’t far, and they arrived outside the fire brigade in just a few minutes.

Lu Jing walked towards the gate first, and the sentry quickly greeted him:

"Good evening, Sister-in-law!"

"Good evening."

Jiang Ye was a few steps behind, a smile on his face.

This startled the sentry:

"Captain Jiang!" the voice suddenly got much louder.

"Hmm!"

He responded indifferently.

My goodness, this preferential treatment was quite evident.

Well, wasn’t that to be expected? Who was he being compared to?

Your Sister-in-law is someone Captain Jiang always treasures; no one has the nerve to cross that line!

After entering, Lu Jing walked familiarly towards the family building.

Once at the foot of the apartment building, he was suddenly embraced from behind:

"Why are you walking so fast?"

"I’m going upstairs, let go."

How could one climb stairs while being hugged?

"I’ll carry you up!"

"No need!"

"Yes!"

The next second, he scooped up the person in his arms horizontally.
