Chapter 123: Chapter 123: The Little Girl Has Grown Up (1)_1

The eight words He Che had initially planned to say, "Nice to meet you, I’m looking forward to working with you," were suddenly caught in his throat.

He stared blankly at the small dollop of hand cream on the back of his hand for a moment, then smiled with the corners of his lips, as though he was actually reaching for the hand cream and said, "Thank you."

Immediately, he lowered his head and rubbed the hand cream into the back of his hand.

Accompanied by a faint fragrance, drifting into his nostrils, a trace of smile emerged from behind his glasses.

"Mister He, you’ve asked everything you needed to ask. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving." Xia Wan’an raised her hand and pointed towards the door behind her.

He Che, however, didn’t try to retain Xia Wan’an. He stepped forward and held the door open for her, exhibiting a gentlemanly demeanor, "Goodnight, take care."

Goodnight... Xia Wan’an took a step forward, then stopped. She turned to He Che with a serious expression, "Mister He, I don’t think we’re familiar enough for you to address me by the last two characters of my name."

Faced with Xia Wan’an’s blunt statement, He Che was not annoyed. He even had a faint sense of indulgence in his laughing eyes, "I’m sorry for my presumption, Miss Xia, take care."

"Goodbye." Only then did Xia Wan’an continue to walk out.

He Che stood still, waiting until Xia Wan’an was out of sight. Then he looked down at the back of his hand and remembering the girl’s motion as she squeezed the hand cream, he chuckled softly.

After a while, He Che chuckled again.

Who would have thought that their first meeting would play out like this...

The young girl had grown into a woman...

Not long after Xia Wan’an left, He Che also left the police station.

He didn’t stop a taxi on the roadside, nor did he go to the nearby subway station, but walked towards a deserted garage in the north.

After finding a relatively clean spot, he took a cigarette out of his pocket and put it in his mouth. While lighting the cigarette, he muttered inarticulately, "Aren’t you coming out yet?"

It was quiet all around, and no one appeared.

He Che didn’t get annoyed. After exhaling a puff of smoke, he spoke up again, his voice much sharper than before, "Do you need me to drag you out?"

Along with his tone settling, a woman dressed in a form-fitting black outfit walked out from behind a scrapped truck nearby.

Upon seeing He Che, the woman immediately bowed her head and respectfully greeted, "Boss."

"Haven’t I told you not to follow me?" He Che finished speaking, exhaled a mouthful of smoke, the smoke veiling his eyes filled with an icy gleam.

"I...I was just worried about the boss being deceived by a woman again, so, I wanted to know, when are you planning to go back?"

"Chen Cang, what do you mean by me being deceived by a woman? Am I that easy to deceive?"

The woman named Chen Cang didn’t say anything, but deep down she couldn’t resist commenting: yes, you’re not easy to deceive; however, the tough-to-deceive you has been deceived by women fourteen times! Enough to gather two sets of Dragon Balls and summon the Divine Dragon twice!

Note: Gathering Dragon Balls twice to summon the Divine Dragon twice is a mocking phrase! It’s just an internet slang, it’s not really about gathering Dragon Balls to summon the Divine Dragon!! Calm down, everyone!
