The policeman nodded with hesitation. "Well, I think so. He seemed very concerned about her."
She looked down to hide the expression in her eyes. A moment later, she thanked the policeman
politely. "You're welcome, ma'am. Just wait a moment," the policeman replied politely. The policeman
looked at his watch and then turned to her. "She's probably almost finished by now."
Rachel replied with a faint smile. But she wasn't really worried about it.
She sat down again and then waited for them to come out.
She sat with her back turned to the door, almost missing a figure talking on the phone who rushed past
outside the door.
He approached the window and knocked on it. "Good evening, I need to see Chief Ren."
The policeman was surprised with the request. "Chief Ren? Do you have an appointment with him?"
"Yes, I do," the figure replied and pointed to his phone. "I'm talking with him on the phone. He wants me
to come in to his office. Would you like to ask him yourself?"
The policeman nodded reluctantly and Baron handed the phone over to him.
He stood there waiting with one hand on his waist as he looked around the station. His eyes
accidentally saw Rachel's back and his mind started to rate her by instinct.
Thin shoulder, a slim waist, fair skin, and black hair. He suddenly wanted to know how she looked like.
He felt an irresistible curiosity to see her face, so he planned to walk over and stand in front of her.
The policemen on the opposite side of the window called him, and handed back his phone. "Come with
me, please."
Baron had no choice but to give up his plan and followed the policeman inside.
Rachel had no idea what was happening at all. She sat patiently as she waited for Jack.
Baron was no longer aggressive after he got out of his car. He made sure to make a call earlier to Chief
Ren before he entered the station.
But his tone was not good as he spoke on the phone. "My girlfriend was brought there by your men. I
want to know how she is. Did she kill anyone?"
His words stunned Chief Ren. It immediately created a different picture in his mind.
'Isn't that Jack's mistress? Why does Baron says she's his girlfriend? Is she dating two rich men at the
same time?' he wondered.
Chief Ren sensed the anger in Baron's voice. Several possibilities played themselves in his mind right
away. He wanted to make sure to be ready to prevent any untoward incidents from happening.
He was able to immediately pacify Baron during the call which was the reason why he was no longer
as angry as before.
Chief Ren wanted to avoid a confrontation between Jack and Baron. But he knew that Jack was much
calmer than Baron.
Moreover, it was quite obvious that this Celine didn't really get along well with Jack.
Nevertheless, Chief Ren decided to ask Jack's opinion about the girl. He claimed that Celine's
boyfriend would be there to pick her up and observe how Jack would react.
However, something unexpected happened.
The hospital called to report that the injury to the victim was minor and the victim was resting.
When Celine finally came out of the office, she was shaking.
She suddenly acted like a child who was severely wronged. She went straight into Jack's arms, buried
her face in his neck and began to cry loudly.
"It's alright," Jack said in a soft voice as he comforted her gently.
"I'm so scared. It was an accident!" She looked into Jack's eyes with her tear-filled eyes.
Jack stared back at her with expressionless eyes. He then pushed her away from him slowly without
any pity or sympathy in his expression, and this startled Celine so much.
She grabbed the sleeve of his shirt with both hands and wanted to say something, but Jack stopped
her. "Just take it easy. You don't have to say anything. Let's wait outside. I have already contacted a
lawyer and he will be here shortly."
Her eyes grew wide as the tears threatened to fall down at any minute.
Jack sighed silently to himself. He might be an indifferent person, but he just couldn't let her suffer in
this kind of situation.
After hesitating for a time, he drew her in and hugged her to comfort her.
"Don't worry. Everything will be fine," Jack said in a soft voice to comfort her.
His words brought solace to Celine's troubled mind. She felt that, in Jack's heart, she was still important
to him.
When she had been with Jack before, he had been always gentle to her and treated her like she was
the most important person in the world. But everything suddenly changed between them.
She thought about how to approach him again, but she never expected that the situation that she found
herself in would present such an unexpected opportunity.
Celine closed her eyes to hide the expression in her eyes. After a moment's pause, she slowly leaned
towards Jack.
When Jack did not stop her or rejected her, Celine moved even closer to him.
Even though Jack noticed what she was doing, he decided not to embarrass her so he did nothing to
stop her.
He did not push her away or did anything to stop her. And they were in this intimate state when two
people suddenly came in and saw them.
Jack didn't notice that Baron came in. Baron, on the other hand, paused in his tracks and stared
fiercely at Celine.
Celine felt confused as she suddenly felt someone staring at her. She raised her eyes, and suddenly
saw someone appear out of nowhere.
She was shocked with what her saw and her face suddenly went pale.
Jack felt confused when he sensed something was not right. "Why? What's wrong?" he asked her. It
was then that he suddenly noticed that Celine stared straight ahead with fearful eyes.
When Jack was about to turn around to see what it was that Celine was looking at, he was hit with a
heavy punch by someone from behind him.
The unexpected turn of events took Jack completely by surprise. Celine was suddenly screaming
loudly as the man pounced at Jack like a mad dog.
Jack staggered backwards from the punch, but was able to quickly stabilize himself. When the other
guy tried to hit him again, he was able to dodge the punch easily. Baron was unbalanced by his missed
punch, and Jack gave him a powerful kick in the back.
Baron fell forward with a loud thud.
The situation took the young policeman by surprise and he was unable to immediately react to the
incident.
Jack's kick threw Baron away and he fell to the floor just like in an action movie.
The policeman on duty was not able to stop the fight, but still came out to check what the commotion
was all about.
Jack stared at Baron on the floor with indifference in his eyes. He then touched his face and felt the
part that was a little sore and was slightly painful.
A few seconds later, Celine snapped out of her daze and realized what had happened. She stared at
Jack with her mouth still wide open. "Jack, are you alright?"
After she finished speaking, but before Jack could answer her, Baron stirred from the floor and whined.
Baron's mind went blank when he fell to the floor because of the sharp pain. It took some time before
he recovered and came back to his senses.
He only caught the last part of what Celine said and thought that she was asking about him. "I'm still
alive. Come and help me up!"
Celine's eyes went wide with shock and she subconsciously turned to Jack. His eyes narrowed as he
stared at Baron on the floor. It was then that she realized that Jack wasn't paying any attention to her.
The people who just entered the area had no idea what happened and stared at them in confusion.
The young policeman stammered when he tried to mediate the situation. But the situation was
obviously out of hand already, so, he was at a loss as to how to best handle it. "You cannot fight here."
Celine took a deep breath and then helped Baron up.
Baron wasn't as arrogant as he was before after losing face in front of his woman and other people.
Jack's kick easily humbled him. He glared at Jack and then turned to Celine who helped him up from
the floor.
Celine felt so nervous that she did not dare to look into Jack's eyes. She was afraid that he would be
angry for what had happened or that he would look down upon her.
Baron stared at his woman and then carefully observed Jack. The physical pain that he felt was made
worse by Jack's presence. His face darkened and made him look pitiful.
He gritted his teeth and diverted his anger to the woman beside him. "Did you think that I'm dead
already?"
A policeman entered the scene and then asked, "Hey, what happened here?"
But no one answered him.
Jack never said a word all this time, but when he heard what Baron said, he frowned and then turned to
Celine.
Her face was deathly pale. She did not let go of Baron's arm. When she heard him, she stared at the
floor with tears in her eyes. She didn't know what to say.
It was clear to the people there what kind of relationship Celine and Baron had. Jack wondered when
she started dating this man. He suddenly felt that the man looked oddly familiar to him.
