sh, he offered his final price. "One million, for one night."In an instant, Lin Meng's face flushed red with anger. She finally understood what Gao Xi was talking about!"You bastard!" How dare you ins...Got into the car, and finally felt a little better.

But Lin Meng was soaked through, her whole body plastered with mud after rolling on the filthy streets. She was completely covered in grime from head to toe.

Jiang Chengan put her in the back seat. Lin Meng's eyes met the clean car mat, and she let out a soft gasp, immediately shifting her little butt to stand up. Jiang Chengan had already returned to the driver's seat. Seeing her surprised, he raised an eyebrow and looked at her with confusion.

Lin Meng was not upset, biting her lip and feeling very guilty.

"Sorry, I got your mat all dirty!"

Her voice was very soft, with a hint of sweetness that reminded one of the delicious rice cakes from the Jiangnan region - fragrant and delicious, leaving a lingering taste on the lips. A strange warmth flowed through Jiang Chengfeng's heart, and he couldn't help but smile again. This time, however, it was a genuine smile.

"It's okay, I was just wanting to wash this cushion of mine, but I couldn't find a good excuse. Now, I finally have a reason! Thank you so much!"

This man was exceptionally clever and quick-witted. With just a few words, he turned the situation around. Not only did he diffuse Lin Meng's awkwardness, but he also used the opportunity to gain her favor, allowing them to be on equal footing. This way, they wouldn't feel so unfamiliar with each other!

Lin Meng followed with a smile, her lips, which had been slightly pale and purple from the rain, gently lifted, blooming into a bright and lovely smile. Her long, narrow eyes narrowed, tinged with a pleasant and alluring charm, causing Jiang Chengfeng to be slightly lost in thought.

This girl is so beautiful!

Lin Meng now let go of the burden in her heart, sat back down, and looked up seriously at the person who had saved her.

He was a very manly man, with a stern face, just like the image of justice and strict self-discipline that people think of when they think of policemen. His sharp edges were deeply defined, as if carved by a knife. His lips, slightly curled in a smile, made him look less serious. Well, his nose was very straight, enviable really. His forehead was wide, and the seven-to-three hairstyle made him look clean and neat, radiating a sense of heroism. It was only because of the impact of the rain just now that a few strands of hair on his forehead fell down, adding a touch of recklessness to this possibly serious and upright man.

As for his eyebrows and eyes...

Lin Meng didn't dare to look closely. He just glanced at him briefly, feeling that his eyes were very bright and spirited. His eyebrows and eyes held a different kind of sharpness, as if they could pierce through people's hearts. There was something inexplicable in his eyes at this moment, which made Lin Meng afraid to meet his gaze directly. So he retracted his gaze and lowered his eyes.

It was cold outside, but warm inside the car. This sudden change in temperature made Lin Meng's nose itch, and she sneezed loudly.

"Yawn--"

Jiang, riding the wind like a dream just awakening, hastily returned his focus to adjust the temperature of the car's air conditioning.

Turning back, he saw her drenched and shivering, her white shirt offering no cover for her delicate frame. He frowned, finding it somewhat unsettling that besides the shirt, she wore nothing underneath, not even...not even a basic bra. Had those wretched men just ripped it off her!

He was observant and noticed suspicious red and purple spots on the area below her collarbone. Having spent years dealing with criminals, his mind instantly knew what they could be.

Although he had been drenched by the rain, his clothes were not yet soaked through. He immediately took off his jacket to give it to her. But on second thought, he turned around and, crossing the barrier between the front and back seats, personally draped his jacket over her shoulders. This allowed him to precisely capture the suspicious reddish-purple spots on her body, even confirming that they were indeed love bites left after an intimate encounter!

Lin Meng blushed and whispered her thanks, her face even paler than paper now with a hint of pink. She nervously tugged at her suit jacket, feeling really cold!

Jiang Cheng, riding the wind, turned his head and felt a mix of suspicion and unexplainable anger. What was going on with this girl What had she gone through Why was there something so strange about her On such a terrible rainy day, she should have been home like any cat. Why was she out in the streets without shoes or an umbrella, entangled with four men! If he hadn't happened to pass by, would another nameless girl be assaulted in this dark alley tonight!

The image that flashed in his mind made him lose his composure, feeling a surge of anger. Those case files he had seen before, with those photographs of girls who had been subjected to abuse, any one of them, if it were Lin Meng's face, he couldn't bear it!

Then, he questioned coldly. "What just happened!"

Lin Meng trembled, her little face turning even paler. Remembering the just-past harrowing experience, she felt both fear and disgust.

Jiang Chengfeng stared at her, his eyes like those of a cheetah, unwavering and searching. Under such a formidable gaze, she trembled several times before reluctantly revealing the truth. She would not mention her brother, who seemed possessed by a demon. After all, he was her brother, a family secret that should remain hidden! She only confessed that she lived in a cramped corner dwelling and had been inexplicably harassed by four drunken men!

"Damn it!"

Jiang Cheng cursed under his breath, the wind carrying his words away. He wished he had arrived sooner; otherwise, he could have arrested those four scumbags and thrown them in jail. But it was clear that this girl was hiding something. The purplish hickeys on her body weren't from today's encounter. He wanted to ask, but it felt awkward. Besides, she was a student, even younger than his own subordinate!

This is a complete mess!

He muttered angrily under his breath, feeling a fire rage within him! Although he had heard some negative things about her, seeing this delicate little person now, clearly violated and distressed, before him, how could he not feel furious!

"I'll send you home!" He made up his mind to have a serious talk with her parents about this. He secretly scolded them, thinking how irresponsible they were to let their underage daughter go through such an ordeal!

Lin Meng was so scared that her little head bobbed like a tambourine.

"No, I...I'm not going back!"

His lips trembled uncontrollably, like dry leaves tossed about in the wind. He looked at her, feeling a pang of pity. He couldn't help but wonder if something had happened at home

Jiang Chengfeng has always been intelligent, that brilliant mind of his when it comes to solving cases, is always something to be feared and admired. Just looking at this girl's current dishevelment, her inappropriate outing in the rain, and her resistance to going home, immediately gave him over a dozen guesses, and each one was rather ominous!

Then, his expression hardened. The slight furrow in his brow deepened into a cold crease, and the lonely gleam of his star-like eyes flickered with icy light.

"How about coming to my place first!"

Lin Meng almost shook her head instinctively. "No, don't!"

Even though Jiang Chengan was a "police officer", on this awful day, she had encountered too many terrible and inexplicable crazy men. She just went to the house of a man she had just met, which made Lin Meng both afraid and resistant.

Jiang Chengfeng immediately sensed her emotions. He eased off the gas pedal, pondered for a few seconds, then pulled out a card resembling a guide's permit from his pocket and tossed it to Lin Meng.

Then!

Lin Meng hurriedly reached out to catch it.

The suit jacket slipped off her shoulders, revealing a nearly bare body. She wore a button-down blouse, the shirt buttons having been lost several times during the struggle, and the garment was no longer able to close properly. Had it not been for her constantly clutching at it with her hands, the scenery of her chest would have been fully exposed!

She successfully took Jiang Chengfeng's ID card, feeling a bit happy. The next moment, she realized a chill on her chest and let out another gasp. She hurriedly reached out to grab her blouse, then tugged at her suit jacket.

Her white garments swayed gently with her movements, and her captivating eyes made one's heart race. Jiang Chengfeng could swear to the heavens that he was innocent, but this unexpected fortune had befallen him. As a man, he found it impossible to control his gaze, immediately taking in the beauty before him.

Besides feasting his eyes, he took advantage of her flustered state as she covered herself up. He quickly turned his head and pretended to look straight ahead with a serious expression, but a slight warmth spread through his lower abdomen, and a surge of heat coursed inward. He shifted uncomfortably, pressing down the sudden desire in his heart, muttering curses at himself for being so insatiable. To have such thoughts towards a fallen girl at this moment! He thought his male instincts were getting the better of him. Reassuring himself that it was just a natural urge, he felt a little less guilty.

Over there, Lin Meng blushed furiously and wrapped herself tightly before daring to glance at Jiang Chengfeng. Seeing his serious expression and focused gaze ahead, she secretly felt relieved and let out a sigh of relief. The heat and embarrassment in her body subsided somewhat as well.

Picking up the document in her hand, she carefully looked at it and was surprised to see that he was actually a judge!

Wow, that's amazing!

Her heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly felt awe!

Jiang Cheng looked at her through the rearview mirror, stealing a glance. She raised her eyes, her gaze clear and bright as she looked at him, openly admiring him, and his body warmed again. He couldn't deny that her look made him feel truly good.

“This is my identification,” he explained. “It has my name and unit on it, so you don’t need to be wary of me. I’m just being kind, afraid that if I left you here you might have another accident, so I want to take you home and let you stay for the night!”

Lin Meng's ears were slightly red, and her face was flushed with embarrassment. She had been seen through, exposed for her little romantic thoughts. She felt a bit like she had judged him with a small heart instead of a noble one.

"I'm sorry," she whispered her apology.

He smiled gently. "Can you agree to come to my house now"

Lin Meng nodded slightly and said in a barely audible voice, "Thank you." She looked like a shy little daughter-in-law. Jiang Chengfeng was astonished. Such a girl who blushed easily and became uncomfortable with just a little teasing, could she really be the contemptuous Lin Meng her brother described Had he gotten it wrong! Maybe she just looked very similar to Lin Meng!

"What's your name!" he said, his head forward while his eyes peered at her through the rearview mirror.

Lin Meng wasn't prepared at all and answered naturally. "Lin Meng, forest, beautiful dream!"

After finishing, she was stunned for a moment, as if this explanation still came from someone else.

Jiang Cheng smiled silently as the wind carried him, his lonely and sharp eyes suddenly tinged with interest. It seemed he wasn't mistaken!

"One could be what others call 'arrogantly aloof,' the other, what he personally witnessed as 'beautiful and delicate.' Don't you find it quite interesting how these two completely different evaluations coexist"

Lin Meng, Lin Meng... Chewing on the name that suited her so well, he felt there was a mystery about this girl. But—that's exactly what interested him most and was the greatest challenge he was willing to face!

This book is first published on this website, please do not reprint!, it's just the beginning, and she wasn't sure if, if she didn't pretend to be weak, Rong Ling would kick her out. So, even though she felt uncomfortable inside, she still had to keep up the act. She...
