Fulfilling the bet—what a righteous demand, such dignified words. Yet, when spoken by Lin Feng, they always carried a disturbingly lewd undertone.

"You never change!" Ye Lin rolled her eyes, exasperated, and chided Lin Feng.

"Hey, hey… We agreed on this beforehand. You're not thinking of backing out, are you?" Lin Feng, one hand on the steering wheel, turned to Ye Lin and argued righteously. "How can you say I never change, as if I've done this before? I'm just a good young man who keeps his word!"

"Good young man, my foot! Dare to say you've never done it? Forgotten that incident during our field mission?" Ye Lin glared at Lin Feng, her anger flaring. During that wilderness survival training, she and Lin Feng had fallen into the water while fleeing wild wolves. Unable to swim, she had no idea how much Lin Feng had taken advantage of her underwater. And now he even dared to deny it!

Seeing Ye Lin's indignant, teeth-gritting expression, Lin Feng smiled. "How can that count? I was saving you; it was a matter of exigency. By your logic, since we camped together in the wilderness that night, does that mean we slept together?"

"You... bastard!" Ye Lin was helpless against Lin Feng's thick skin. Still suffering the aftereffects of motion sickness, she lacked the strength in her hands to even try to hit him.

"Don't you think I make a compelling argument?" Lin Feng, clearly feeling he had won the point, grinned arrogantly.

"A load of crap!" Ye Lin fumed. He's way too pleased with himself!

"Where do you live? I'll drop you off." Before long, Lin Feng's car entered the Nanjiang District, and he asked.

"I thought you'd just take me to some random hotel," Ye Lin sneered, mocking him.

"I know you're not that kind of person!" Lin Feng explained earnestly. "Besides, I don't even know where you live yet. If I don't learn the way now, how am I supposed to find you later?"

Hearing Lin Feng's first sentence, Ye Lin felt a flicker of pleasure. But his follow-up made her wary again. She eyed him cautiously. "Why would you need to come to my place to find me? Can't you just call?"

Ye Lin's current position was captain of the detective team, and she usually kept a low profile. She lived in a unit-assigned apartment and drove an official car. To avoid gossip, she naturally didn't want her colleagues to see Lin Feng.

The last time her subordinate, Zhao Weipeng, had seen her and Lin Feng in the interrogation room, it had taken a great deal of effort to convince him that there was nothing between them.

Ye Lin had expected Lin Feng to be struck speechless by her question. However, not only did he reply, but he did so with seemingly sound logic.

"Yan Su just spoke to me. We'll be called upon for secret missions in the future. In emergencies, I'll come find you directly for the mission. Phone contact isn't secure!" Lin Feng said to Ye Lin, his expression serious.

"How is phone contact not secure?" Ye Lin retorted. "Besides, if you have a mission, go do it. Why drag me into it?"

"Did you sleep through your electronic communications classes at the training camp? There are so many ways to eavesdrop, and you still trust phones…" Lin Feng shook his head, looking thoroughly exasperated. "As for why I drag you into missions, don't you think we make the best partners? Men and women working together lighten the load—that's golden advice."

Who would be eavesdropping on your phone for no reason? Ye Lin wanted to refute Lin Feng. But when she heard him laugh and say they were the best partners, a sudden warmth spread through her heart, leaving her uncharacteristically speechless. It was a very rare feeling.

Eventually, following Ye Lin's directions, Lin Feng parked the car beneath an ordinary-looking dormitory building near the Nanjiang District Police Bureau.

"I'm here. You can go back now!" The moment the car stopped, Ye Lin, as if her seat were on fire, hastily unbuckled her seatbelt, ready to jump out.

"..." Lin Feng was speechless for a moment. Looks like Ye Lin really plans to go back on her word. This girl's promises really can't be trusted...

"Ah…" As Ye Lin stepped out of the car, she let out a soft cry. Her legs felt completely numb and throbbed with a dull ache. She felt extremely uncomfortable, her body drained of strength, and she nearly collapsed.

"What's wrong?" Lin Feng quickly got out of the car, rushed to her side, and helped her up.

"My legs... they're weak..." Ye Lin, her eyes half-closed, instinctively leaned on Lin Feng's arm, her entire body practically hanging on him. Her orchid-like breath fanned Lin Feng's neck, light as a ten-fingered caress, carrying a faint, pure fragrance.

"You're the one hugging me, alright? Don't accuse me of making moves on you later..." Lin Feng chuckled, then said to Ye Lin with a serious expression, "To help you, I've sacrificed my innocence! Don't you dare slander my reputation again!"

"Pah! Nonsense!" Of course, Ye Lin knew what lewd thoughts Lin Feng was having. She stared at Lin Feng for a long moment before finally nodding, though she still warned him uneasily, "I can let you take me upstairs, but don't even think about trying anything funny while I'm weak, or I definitely won't let you off…"

Dark lines seemed to etch themselves onto Lin Feng's forehead. He closed the car door, narrowed his eyes at Ye Lin, and said, "Do you really think I'm that unprincipled? As a normal man, it's natural to be a bit lecherous, but I wouldn't stoop that low! I'm not like some women who go back on their word and play dumb..."

"Who played dumb!" Ye Lin's face flushed. She was someone who cared a lot about her pride. Being called out by Lin Feng like this, she naturally couldn't stand it. "Did I say I wouldn't fulfill the bet? You're the one making things up."

"Ahem, so does that mean... later I can... and you've agreed to it?" Lin Feng's mind raced, and he asked with a roguish grin.

"You..." Ye Lin didn't know how to answer Lin Feng's shameless question, so she chose to remain silent.

Just as they reached the entrance of the dormitory building, they suddenly heard a resonant baritone voice behind them ask in surprise, "Captain Ye, what's wrong?"

Lin Feng turned to see a handsome man in his thirties, dressed in casual clothes, rushing over. He grabbed Ye Lin's arm, asking with great concern, "Are you injured?"

"Deputy Captain Yang, please let go of me. I'm fine!" Ye Lin glared at the newcomer, her annoyance clear. This man was her deputy, Yang Cheng.

Yang Cheng had been the deputy captain of the detective team for many years and was the most promising candidate for captain. He was initially very dissatisfied with the sudden decision to parachute in a new captain from elsewhere. However, after seeing Ye Lin's beauty, he was stunned. Then, witnessing her extraordinary combat skills during training, he immediately cast his resentment aside and began to shamelessly pursue her.

However, Ye Lin had no good impression of Yang Cheng, who was inferior to her in every aspect, and had always given him the cold shoulder.

Yang Cheng, however, lacked self-awareness. He believed he and Ye Lin were a match made in heaven and pursued her relentlessly. After learning Ye Lin didn't even have a boyfriend, he even began to vaguely consider himself as such.

Seeing Ye Lin return with a strange man late at night, and looking as if she were drunk, how could Yang Cheng not jump out and intervene?
