Yujie pouted. "Yaoya, I must tell you that if you lose this time, I really won't compete with you anymore!""Sure, no problem!" The little imp readily agreed and then pulled Xia Tian towards another r...Chapter 1455: Do You Have Any Shame

"Let's go try on some clothes!" Ji Qingying pulled An Xin towards a clothing store without waiting for her to respond.

Ji Qingying had always cherished the imperial attire she wore, unwilling to change it no matter what. However, today, she was somehow persuaded by An Xin and started trying on different types of clothes that were quite unlike those she usually wore. Yet, up until now, she hadn't bought a single one.

Even though she hadn't found the clothes she liked yet, Ji Qingying had already developed an interest in these new outfits, so as they walked down the street, every time she spotted a clothing store, she would pull An Xin inside to try on more clothes.

Hence, before An Xin could even say anything to Zhou Gongcheng, she was dragged into a clothing shop by Ji Qingying.

"Stop! Where are you going" Seeing this, Zhou Gongcheng immediately became anxious and shouted loudly as he prepared to rush in after them.

At that moment, however, an angry voice called out: "Zhou Gongcheng, what do you think you're doing"

Zhou Gongcheng halted his steps and turned to see a familiar figure hurrying over. His eyes first showed disdain but then quickly softened into a smile as he greeted the person politely: "Uncle Kun, are you here too"

Zhou Gongcheng is actually quite young, not even thirty years old. When he first joined the police force, Fang Mingkun was responsible for mentoring Zhou Gongcheng; according to conventional terms, Fang Mingkun would be considered Zhou Gongcheng's mentor. However, while Fang Mingkun's career deteriorated over time, Zhou Gongcheng's advanced rapidly, and now Zhou has become the head of a major case unit, whereas Fang remains just an ordinary detective.

Logically speaking, Zhou Gongcheng and Fang Mingkun should have had a decent relationship, but in reality, everyone at the municipal police bureau knows that their relationship is quite poor. The exact reason for this animosity is unknown; there are rumors linking it to Fang Mingkun's daughter. It seems that when Fang attempted to cause trouble for Ding Zifeng in the past, Zhou Gongcheng intervened and sabotaged his plans, thus setting off a grudge between them.

"Zhou Gongcheng, Miss Ji is an important guest we are protecting; you'd better not come bothering us. Otherwise, you won't be able to account for yourself to Director Peng!" Fang Mingkun glared coldly at Zhou Gongcheng without hiding his disdain for the man.

"Uncle Kun, there's been a misunderstanding. We’re here looking for An Xin; as far as I know, she isn’t one of your protected guests, is she" Zhou Gongcheng said coolly.

"An Xin What do you want with her" Fang Mingkun was somewhat surprised.

Fang originally thought that Zhou had come for something related to Ding Zifeng since he knew there were ties between the two. At least, Zhou had received many favors from Ding Zifeng; however, without concrete evidence, Fang couldn't do anything about it.

"Uncle Kun, looks like you’re not as well-informed as before. Yesterday afternoon, a murder case occurred in one of the villas in the city. Six people were killed, and one was You Anfu; I’m sure you still remember this name" Zhou Gongcheng spoke calmly.

"You Anfu The son of You Tiance" Fang Mingkun's face changed slightly.

"That's correct," Zhou Gongcheng smiled faintly. "Uncle Kun, since you already know everything, I don't think you'll try to stop me from taking Anxin away"

Zhou Gongcheng had been worried when he thought that Anxin was running away just now, but now that he realized she wasn't and was still in the clothing store, with this being the only exit of the shop, he no longer felt rushed. He could simply wait here for her to come out eventually.

"Yuan Anfu's death has nothing to do with Anxin," Fang Mingkun sneered. "Zhou Gongcheng, I remember last month when I said that Anxin jumping off the building might be related to Yuan Anfu and suggested your squad look into it, you outright denied any connection and assured me there was none. Now that Yuan Anfu is dead, why do you suddenly come looking for Anxin"

"Uncle Kun, you did say last month. Last month I didn't know the relationship between Yuan Anfu and Anxin, but after his death we investigated a bit and found out they had some conflicts in the past, and last month's incident involving Anxin might be related to him too. With this information, it's natural for us to consider her as the prime suspect," said Zhou Gongcheng without changing expression, which could only say that he was quite thick-skinned.

Fang Mingkun was livid: "Zhou Gongcheng, do you still have any shame When I investigated Anxin jumping off the building case, you went out of your way to cover for Yuan Anfu. You even provided evidence proving his alibi when it's clear he forced her into such a desperate situation! Now that Yuan Anfu is dead and you acknowledge everything, I wonder how much money Yu Tiance paid you"

"Uncle Kun, as a police officer yourself, shouldn't one speak with evidence Speculations from common citizens are fine to mention, but not coming from your mouth. Your accusations shouldn’t be made without proper evidence," Zhou Gongcheng's smile finally faded, even his thick skin couldn't endure being harshly criticized by Fang Mingkun in front of so many people. "Even if Yuan Anfu did attempt to rape Anxin back then and forced her into jumping off the building, that doesn't justify private revenge. As a policeman, you should understand this clearly; no matter how guilty he was, it should be punished through legal means. However, hearing your recent words, I now understand why after 30 years of service, you're still just an ordinary detective."

Fang Mingkun glared angrily at Zhou Gongcheng, not because of the mockery but due to his conviction that Anxin's jump last month was indeed caused by Yuan Anfu trying to rape her and he was sure that Zhou Gongcheng knew about this and had helped fabricate false evidence for Yuan Anfu!

"Zhou Gongcheng, you are truly a disgrace to the police force!" Fang Mingkun glared at him. "You won't have a good end!"

If it were before, Fang Mingkun actually wouldn't be so indignant over such matters. With a 30-year police career, he wasn't the first time encountering similar incidents. However, since his daughter's incident, he became particularly sensitive to cases involving girls being victimized, especially good girls like Anxin, who always reminded him of his own daughter.

"Uncle Kun, you should retire earlier and spend time with your daughter," Zhou Gongcheng said coldly.

Fang Mingkun's face instantly turned black. He was about to react when Gao Yong pulled on him from the side: "Uncle Kun, forget it."

"Oh, the clothes here aren't nice anyway; let's go over there!" A melodious voice rang out at this moment, and it was Ji Qingying who had come out of a clothing store.

Ji Qingying naturally wouldn't pay attention to others. She pulled Anxin wanting to go into the opposite clothing shop again, but Zhou Gongcheng blocked their path once more.

"Anxin, you should go with us," said Zhou Gongcheng in a commanding tone.

"Hey, don’t obstruct my way or I’ll exterminate your nine generations!" Ji Qingying protested angrily.

"What" Zhou Gongcheng looked at Ji Qingying, his voice filled with surprise. Yet an expression of admiration flashed across his eyes; only now did he clearly see Ji Qingying's appearance and realize that not only was Anxin beautiful, there was someone even more stunning.

"Get lost, or I'll exterminate your nine generations!" Ji Qingying said indignantly.

"Miss, please don't obstruct official duties. I am..." Zhou Gongcheng tried to intimidate with his police identity.

"I'm angry now, make sure you take him away and execute him!" Before Zhou Gongcheng could finish speaking, Ji Qingying said discontentedly.

An Xin was a bit dazed; after all, she wasn't Ji Qingying. She understood the rules of this world well—she had secretly killed before, but to kill someone on the street openly made her hesitant. Most importantly, she wanted to live a relatively peaceful life in this world and not end up being hunted down like a fugitive.

"Husband, come here!" Ji Qingying became even more displeased and shouted at Xia Tian who was standing不遠處。

However, Xia Tian didn't respond; he stood by the roadside with his eyes half-closed as if asleep.

"You rascal, no sleeping during the day!" Upon seeing this, Ji Qingying immediately got angry and ran over to pinch Xia Tian hard.

Xia Tian yawned and finally opened his eyes. He had initially found it boring watching Fang Mingkun and Zhou Gongcheng arguing and wanted to test if he could sleep while standing up; he hadn't expected that the experiment actually worked, putting him into a deep sleep.

"What's up now" Summer asked, lacking energy. He had a relaxed morning today, always by the side of Empress Ji Qingying, who was like a soulless queen. But why did she find him again

"He made me angry! I want to exterminate his nine generations!" Ji Qingying pouted and pointed at Zhou Gongcheng with her delicate fingers.

"Oh, okay." Summer responded casually as he walked unhurriedly towards Zhou Gongcheng.

"You..." Zhou Gongcheng vaguely felt something was off but before he could say anything, it was too late.

Summer clearly wasn't interested in exchanging words with Zhou Gongcheng. He simply kicked Zhou Gongcheng's abdomen with his foot and Zhou Gongcheng let out a pained groan as he fell to the ground.

"Alright, let's go." Summer stretched and yawned, "You two can continue shopping."

“Mm-hmm, I’m off to try on clothes!” Ji Qingying was immediately cheerful again. She grabbed An Xin and headed towards a clothing store across the street.

"You... you actually attacked an officer" The female police officer accompanying Zhou Gongcheng, Guan Juanjuan, finally reacted.y, "The incident itself wasn't complicated. That brat from the Lan family drove his car and accidentally rear-ended someone else's vehicle. Then they beat up the other party with all four of them and...
