Ji Nuan immediately turned back and glared harshly at Mo Jingshen.
Mo Jingshen was unperturbed as he met her gaze, as though asking, what was the problem?
Ji Nuan: “…”
Ex-wife?
Yan Ge was dumbstruck; even the short strands of hair on his scalp were standing straight. He stared in disbelief at the man standing behind Ji Nuan. “Ah?”
Which meant the two had already known each other when they previously sat together for beef noodles. They were actually once married. It was no wonder that Sister Nuan kept acting as though she didn’t know him. It seemed like these two had parted on poor terms.
During their past two days of investigation, they had learned that this man was Mr. Mo. In that case, the previous time when the Mo family’s housekeeper had addressed her as Mrs. Mo…
Yan Ge felt as though he had finally obtained a breakthrough in a case difficult to solve. He took several scans of Mo Jingshen from head to toe.
Mo Jingshen mildly threw him a cold glance: “Are those the gaze and attitude a police officer requesting for statement should have?”
After hearing this, Yan Ge’s expression immediately turned stern. However, he couldn’t resist another awkward glance. He then turned toward the speechless Ji Nuan. “Sister Nuan, is this place convenient for you? Can we enter?”
Ji Nuan was about to speak up when Mo Jingshen answered coldly: “It’s not convenient.”
Ji Nuan: “…”
Yan Ge: “…”
The police officer who had accompanied Yan Ge here: “…”
Ji Nuan smiled and opened the door wider. She then turned to glance at Mo Jingshen and saw that the man was unmoved and appeared to have no intention of letting them in. She turned back to Yan Ge to say: “Standing from a citizen’s perspective, no matter if it’s convenient or not, we should cooperate with you. But why are you the ones who came to record our statements? Aren’t you still an intern?”
“We were sent here by Boss Lin. This man by my side is the one in charge of taking down your statements. They discovered that your car was parked here during the investigations, so I came by to take a look.” Yan Ge gave Ji Nuan a toothy grin: “After all, I’m still your part-time bodyguard. I have to be more alert when it comes to your matters.”
Ji Nuan turned her head back slightly and indicated indoors with her chin. “Come on in. Both of you have worked hard, great policemen.”
Yan Ge immediately gave the other police officer a look. The two were about to enter, but before they could raise their feet, they saw the man standing in front of the door without any intention of letting them in. Upon meeting Mo Jingshen’s cold and unwelcoming gaze, Yan Ge’s expression immediately turned serious. He turned back to Ji Nuan. “Sister Nuan, since both of you are ex-wife and ex-husband, have the both of you been living together for the past two days?”
Ji Nuan honestly replied: “Wasn’t my head injured on that day? You must have seen it as well. I was unconscious for two days. When I woke up, I was already here. I suppose it was more convenient to care for me here.”
Yan Ge immediately returned to his position as her bodyguard. Anyone who had poor intentions toward Ji Nuan was viewed as a suspect to be wary of. At the sight of this Mr. Mo, who had no intention of carrying out his duties as a good citizen or letting them through the door, Yan Ge’s expression immediately turned stern. “In that case, after taking down your statement, I’ll send you home immediately, Sister Nuan. It isn’t that big of a deal for you to stay here anyway.”
“Sure,” Ji Nuan immediately agreed.
She had answered without any hesitation, but Mo Jingshen immediately glanced at her. ” You sure?”
Ji Nuan narrowed her eyes at him. With two policemen by her side, it was even easier for her to leave. Wasn’t this great? This was exceptionally wonderful!
In the end, the man casually reached out and actually slammed the door shut. Yan Ge, who had just reached one foot in, was immediately slammed backward.
His nose was almost broken from the force of the door. He turned to look at his equally dumbstruck police brother: “Were the two of us just chased out?”
His police brother: “…I’m not sure ah, I just graduated from my intern position. This is my first time stepping out. Besides, is taking down statements supposed to be so hard?”
Yan Ge: “…”
Inside the apartment, Mo Jingshen, who had once more refused someone outside the door, was met with Ji Nuan’s fierce expression. She raged: “Mo Jingshen, have you gone mad? Are you denying the police entry? Aren’t you afraid of being taken into custody for questioning? Let me tell you, being disrespectful to the police and refusing to cooperate with them is sufficient reason for them to arrest you!”
The man was cold and indifferent. “They won’t dare to even if they have a hundred times more courage.”
Ji Nuan ignored him and reached out to open the door, but the man casually pressed his hand against it, preventing her from doing so. Amidst her struggle, he lowered his head to eye the little woman who was trying her best to push his hand aside so she could open the door. His voice was cold. “You’ve only been here for a few days, yet there have been countless people who have come by to rescue you. I won’t be petty with that assistant named Xiao Ba, but this young man outside the door are not suited to be your bodyguard. Fire him and stay away from him from now onwards!”
“Who are you to interfere with who I hire to be my bodyguard? If it wasn’t to ensure my own safety, why would I keep a bodyguard by my side? Besides, the reason I keep him around is that I almost met with some danger at night a while ago, which is why I…”
“Did you think I wouldn’t know you had a run-in with a drunkard at night? Or that you brought that Mr. Vinse into your apartment?” The man’s voice was mild and barely contained any warmth. It was clear that whenever Mr. Vinse, who rarely contacted her these days, or Yan Ge, who was outside the door, was mentioned, his gaze was unhappy.
Ji Nuan’s expression immediately faltered. She widened her eyes and stared at him. “You sent someone to stalk me?”
The man lowered his eyes to watch her. “If arranging two bodyguards to be by your side quietly is considered stalking, you can think of it that way.”
Ji Nuan was instantly speechless.
Did he arrange someone to protect her while she was clueless?
She had been busy since her return to the country and barely paid attention to anything else. During the drunkard incident, because Mr. Vinse was nearby and had rushed over quickly, she did not realize that there were actually people secretly taking care of her safety.
Afterward, upon moving into a new apartment, she paid even less attention to such concerns.
She pursed her lips and pointed toward the door. “No matter what, you can’t just lock Yan Ge and the other policeman outside. They’re representing the police force to carry out their duties. If this statement isn’t completed today, another police officer will be outside the door tomorrow. Sooner or later, you’ll have to cooperate with them!”
His eyes appeared to be smiling, but they were unnaturally cold. He clearly disliked and was unhappy with Yan Ge. Or perhaps, he was unhappy with every man that was even slightly close to her. “I can cooperate with him. After this door is opened, if you still wish to ask him to bring you away, why don’t you give it a try?”
God knows which family’s pot of vinegar had been spilled.
