Chapter 55: Chapter 55 Trust

Lin Qiong also knew it was excessive to act this way, but seeing Li Yifei’s innocent expression ignited an unfounded anger in her heart. If it had truly been about subduing a criminal, it might have been justified, but Li Yifei was not a criminal, so had she not swallowed a great injustice? How could she be in a good mood or temper while looking at Li Yifei?

"Name?" Lin Qiong took out a notebook, her face stern.

Li Yifei slowly moved and sat down on the couch, saying, "Officer Lin, is that tone really necessary? You talk like this, and it makes me feel like you’re interrogating a criminal."

"Cut the nonsense and please cooperate with my work."

"Alright, alright, I understand the importance of cooperation between the police and the public. My name is Li Yifei, and I’m twenty-six years old."

"Show me your ID card."

This time Li Yifei cooperated nicely and dutifully produced his ID card. Lin Qiong studied it carefully before handing it back to Li Yifei, asking, "How long have you been living here?"

"Three months."

"And what did you do before?"

"Um, where do you work now?"

"I’m in the logistics department at Huayang Company."

After asking these questions, Lin Qiong nodded and looked at Li Yifei again, asking, "Why were you carrying lock picking tools?"

Li Yifei grinned and said, "I just like these kinds of little gadgets."

"I’m warning you, you can like them, but because of this, if there are any thefts in this neighborhood, you’ll be the prime suspect."

Li Yifei’s eyes widened in shock as he said, "Really?"

"Definitely." Lin Qiong finished speaking, then pushed open the door and went out to start questioning Meng Xiaofei.

But her questioning of Meng Xiaofei was quite brief because while Meng Xiaofei was answering questions, she kept smiling at Lin Qiong with a gaze that was indescribably flirtatious, which Lin Qiong found unbearable.

Once Lin Qiong had left, Meng Xiaofei immediately went over and knocked on Li Yifei’s door, bursting into laughter as soon as she entered.

"What’s so funny? Is it really that hilarious?" Li Yifei glared at Meng Xiaofei, clearly annoyed.

Meng Xiaofei struggled to suppress her laughter, sticking out her tongue a bit.

"I’m really unlucky. I just wanted to unlock the door for you, and it turned out to be a cop who arrests without asking questions. All this trouble is because of you, and you’re still laughing at me. Don’t you have any conscience?"

"Sorry, it’s my fault. But Brother Li, can you really break into my door?"

"Of course, I was about to tell you not to call a locksmith, but you ran off so fast, you didn’t hear me calling."

"I truly didn’t hear you. So, Brother Li, could you please go and unlock my door? The locksmith said it would take a long time to get here."

"Alright, I’ll help you unlock your door." Li Yifei shook his head and took Meng Xiaofei to her door. Pretending it was a great effort, he fiddled around for five or six minutes before finally getting the door open.

"Wow! Brother Li, you’re not really a thief, are you?" Meng Xiaofei didn’t go inside immediately but instead stared wide-eyed at Li Yifei.

Li Yifei suddenly glared and said, "You girl, I really shouldn’t have helped you. I was wronged by a cop just now, and here you are saying the same thing. It’s so hard being a good person these days."

Meng Xiaofei stared blankly at Li Yifei for a while before clenching her fists, her face lit up with excitement as she said, "Brother Li... you must be a Master Thief, right?"

Li Yifei was speechless. He knocked on Meng Xiaofei’s head and said, "What Master Thief? I help you open your door, and you call me a thief, you’re really ungrateful."

Meng Xiaofei rubbed her head, stuck out her tongue and still puzzled, said, "Then how were you able to open the door so easily? With such skills, if you were to rob someone’s home, it would be far too easy."

Li Yifei raised his hand again, and Meng Xiaofei instantly gave a low cry, darting into her room and pouting, "Stop knocking, I’m naturally dumb, and you’ll knock me dumber."

Li Yifei burst into laughter and said, "So you know you’re dumb, huh?"

"Hee hee, I’m not that dumb. Brother Li, please tell me how do you have such skills?"

"Wait a minute, I haven’t closed my door yet." Li Yifei thought to himself he wouldn’t be able to sleep that night. He wondered how Meng Xiaofei could trust him so much. Was he that harmless? Didn’t he seem like a man? Wasn’t she afraid that being so casual with him, he might ’eat her up’?

Fearing Li Yifei wouldn’t come over, Meng Xiaofei actually followed him to close the door, clutching tightly to Li Yifei’s arm and then pulling him back to her apartment. Inside the living room, she cleared off the sofa and dragged Li Yifei to sit down.

"Hey, there’s another one here." Li Yifei shouted as the girl carelessly overlooked the chair, not even taking notice of what he held in his hand.

Li Yifei couldn’t help but burst into laughter, and the previous awkwardness was swept away.

Meng Xiaofei quickly came out, her face red. She stuck out her tongue and said, "Sorry, I forgot to clean up."

Li Yifei shook his head and said, "Now I’m wondering, what kind of man could spend a lifetime with you?"

Meng Xiaofei sat next to Li Yifei, giggling, and said, "That will be some unlucky guy’s fate."

Li Yifei couldn’t help but laugh out loud, "You really are self-aware."

Meng Xiaofei said proudly, "Of course, I’m terrible at life skills, and I’m vague most of the time. Apart from never losing myself, I’ve lost everything else. Imagine how much worry someone would have marrying me."

Li Yifei was even more amused, "Alright, you’ve convinced me."

After Li Yifei finished speaking, Meng Xiaofei said enviously, "That would be so thrilling. I always wanted to do that in the past but never attended. It has always been my regret."

Li Yifei laughed again, "If they had someone as absentminded as you, I wonder if your squad leader would pass out."

The two chatted and laughed, and before they knew it, it was past two in the morning. Li Yifei stood up to leave, but as he walked to the door, Meng Xiaofei followed and said to him, "Brother Li, keep this key at your place."

"Why?"

"I’m afraid I’ll lose my keys again, so if I leave a spare at your place, I won’t be afraid of not being able to get back in."

"You trust me that much? You’re not afraid that, when I have nothing better to do, I’ll sneak into your place and steal your stuff?"

Meng Xiaofei blinked and said, "With your skills, do you even need a key to get into my place?"

"Alright then." Li Yifei couldn’t help but smile wryly as he took the key. Meng Xiaofei giving him the key was indeed a sign of her trust.
