Unexpectedly, her phone suddenly rang.
Meng Chu looked at the caller ID: Officer Yue.
It was Officer Yue, the one who had handled her case when she called the Police before.
Although Meng Chu knew it would be hard for her to have any further contact with this police officer, after that phone call that day, she had still saved his number.
After Meng Chu answered the call, she took the initiative to say, “Hello, Officer Yue.”
Officer Yue on the other end quickly asked, “Miss Meng, is it convenient for you to talk on the phone right now?”
“It is convenient.”
Officer Yue said, “I called to tell you that the person who broke into your home before probably will not be released anytime soon.”
“Is there some evidence?” Meng Chu was overjoyed.
Officer Yue: “He has other cases. I am not at liberty to disclose the details. But the problem should be quite serious. We are still investigating.”
Clearly, this Police officer was the very responsible kind.
Perhaps he knew Meng Chu was unwilling to accept that this scumbag had only been detained for seven days.
That was why he had taken the initiative to call; although he could not reveal more, he hoped Meng Chu would feel somewhat comforted after learning this news.
Meng Chu was indeed very happy.
In the moment she heard this news, she felt that, indeed, there was still fairness in this world.
A person like this who did bad things could not have done it only to her.
Sure enough, he had still been caught.
Meng Chu: “I understand. No matter what, I am very grateful for your call.”
After hanging up, Meng Chu paced around the Living Room twice.
She suddenly clenched her fists.
Afterward she took out her phone and directly called Cheng Jin.
She did not know if Cheng Jin was busy or something, but the phone kept beeping with a busy tone, and no one answered.
Meng Chu was not anxious either, and waited patiently.
Finally, just as the busy tone was about to end, the call was answered.
“Cheng Jin, that bastard has been caught,” Meng Chu did not wait to say anything else and spoke right away.
“Just now Officer Yue called me, he said that bastard is involved in another case and definitely will not be released for now.”
Hearing her excited voice, Cheng Jin on the other end also laughed.
Meng Chu could not help asking, “When are you coming back? I want to go out and celebrate, celebrate that Heaven’s justice is manifest, celebrate that The net of justice is wide but not loose. The Police uncles absolutely will not let any evildoer go.”
She rarely had moments of such excitement.
But today definitely counted.
“Now.”
The other end lightly tossed out two words.
Meng Chu was stunned. “What?”
And just as her confusion emerged, two beeps suddenly came from the entryway, the kind of notification sound made when a fingerprint is pressed on an electronic lock to open the door.
When Meng Chu came Home every day, it also beeped twice like that.
She turned her head to look, and saw a clear, handsome, upright figure appear there, staring at her with an undisguised smile.
At this moment, Meng Chu felt she did not want to think about anything anymore.
She ran over without a care and threw herself directly at Cheng Jin.
What could be happier than him appearing like this just when she missed him most?
“Meng Chu,” Cheng Jin reached out to catch the person who threw herself at him, and held her tightly.
Although he had also gradually begun to sense her feelings.
But this straightforward, this undisguised, was still the first time.
Meng Chu buried her head against his chest, her cheek pressed to his chest; the slightly protruding button on his shirt gently rubbed against her cheek.
Although it was a little dull, it was very real.
He had really come back.
“Are you this happy that I am back?” he asked softly.
Meng Chu raised her head from his arms, her chin against his chest, looking up at him.
This angle gave Cheng Jin the feeling that he was being relied on by her with all her heart and body.
But the next second, Meng Chu nodded lightly without hesitation.
“Yes.”
A light affirmation, and he was completely certain.
It was not his illusion; she really was expecting his return with all her heart and body.
At this moment, this cold house suddenly had warmth.
“Are we really going out?” Meng Chu had not expected that as soon as Cheng Jin put down his suitcase, he would want to take her out.
She could not help being surprised.
Cheng Jin looked at her. “Did you not say you wanted to go out and celebrate, celebrate that Heaven’s justice is manifest, celebrate that The net of justice is wide but not loose?”
Meng Chu had not expected him to remember it so firmly, and immediately laughed too.
But then she said worriedly, “You just got back. Will it be too tiring to go out right away?”
“Let’s go.” Cheng Jin directly pushed the suitcase aside and was about to take Meng Chu out.
However, when it came to driving, Meng Chu originally volunteered, “How about I drive?”
“No need, I will drive myself.”
After the two got in the car, they then remembered they had not decided where to go.
In the end Meng Chu suggested, “How about we go to a nearby mall? We can eat something and play as we like.”
But then she looked at Cheng Jin again and could not help laughing.
“What is it?” Cheng Jin was starting the car.
Meng Chu: “I really cannot imagine what you look like shopping in a mall.”
Cheng Jin put both hands on the steering wheel and easily drove the car out of the parking space, giving her a calm glance. “Do I look different from other people?”
“I feel like you are always working, working, and have no entertainment at all,” Meng Chu said slowly.
At the very least, she would still make plans to hang out with Song Yumian.
Although Cheng Jin also had friends, it seemed they would always meet at very private clubs or some such place; they probably would not make plans to go shopping together.
“Because I did not have a wife before.”
Cheng Jin said this calmly as he drove the car directly out of the garage.
Although Meng Chu now felt she was almost immune to him calling her wife.
But at this moment, when he said this calmly, she still could not help blushing.
This man was really too good at this.
With just one light sentence, he disrupted the rhythm of her heartbeat.
This Community was located in the city center, and the surrounding commercial area was especially prosperous, so after driving for less than twenty minutes, they arrived at an especially high-end mall.
It was just that the foot traffic here was too heavy, and it was the weekend, so the traffic jam was especially bad.
Meng Chu, bored, casually remarked, “I do not know what that scumbag did, but I hope he will not get out for at least three to five years.”
“Then you can rest assured. He definitely will not get out.”
Meng Chu suddenly turned her head to look at Cheng Jin, who was driving. She wanted to say something.1
But in the end, because he was still driving, she did not say it.
When the two arrived at the mall’s underground parking garage, they parked the car well.
Meng Chu did not get out of the car immediately, but instead turned to look at him. “Do you know something?”
“Yes, I know. That scumbag is a second-hand Landlord and has many properties. So I had someone investigate him and found that he had previously gotten into disputes with tenants because there had been a hidden camera in a rental unit. They investigated in that direction and found that this person had installed hidden cameras in the houses he rented out and secretly filmed many women.”
Meng Chu was shocked; she had no idea about any of this.
“When did you have someone investigate?” Meng Chu asked.
Seeing her like this, Cheng Jin comforted her. “Do not worry. Many things were investigated by lawyers. They know how to act within legal bounds.”
Only then did Meng Chu realize how much he had done behind her back.
She took a deep breath and wanted to say something, but her thoughts were a mess.
Instead, Cheng Jin looked at her and said in a relaxed tone, “Meng Chu, a person like me has accumulated a lot of wealth through capital, so I have an obligation to this society. Using the money I earn, I hire many people to send scumbags like this to prison, so many women are spared from his persecution.”
“Come to think of it, I should thank you for giving me this opportunity.”
Meng Chu looked at him, and again felt tears about to well up.
But hearing what he said, she felt it was both absurd and reasonable.
“So promise me one thing,” he said seriously.
Meng Chu nodded.
Cheng Jin looked at her and said softly, “Have fun later.”
Meng Chu was a little stunned; she had not expected him to say this.
But Cheng Jin then said softly, “Because the more we enjoy the happiness of the outside world, the more it is punishment for that scumbag inside.”
“Okay.”
Meng Chu agreed seriously.
Soon, the two got out of the car.
This time Meng Chu really did not hold back, and took Cheng Jin from the lower floor to the upper floor.
They did not stop until after dinner, having played for a full four hours.
Only then, still wanting more, did they prepare to head back.
However, when Meng Chu saw the Bathroom sign on the floor, she still could not help saying, “I will go to the Bathroom first.”
But she never expected that when she returned from the Bathroom.
She actually saw a girl with long black hair worn down, hitting on Cheng Jin.
The girl had even taken out her phone, seemingly wanting to ask for his contact information.
Meng Chu’s mind buzzed.
She certainly knew Cheng Jin was popular, but usually they were together as a pair, and rarely had the chance to come to a place crowded with people, so naturally she had never encountered anyone hitting on him.
But she never expected that she had only been gone for a moment.
Someone had actually set their sights on Cheng Jin.
Meng Chu immediately walked over, but before she reached them, the girl who had been hitting on him had already left with an embarrassed look.Z
Huh?
It ended just like that?
She had not even declared her sovereignty yet.
Just then, Cheng Jin turned to look toward the Bathroom, and at a glance saw Meng Chu coming over.
“You are back,” Cheng Jin said calmly, completely without the look of someone who had just been hit on.
Meng Chu gave a murmur and did not mention it either.
Seeing her listless expression, Cheng Jin said nothing and directly reached out to hold her hand.
Earlier when they were shopping in the mall, he had not held her hand this naturally.
Meng Chu could not help glancing at him.
Cheng Jin chuckled. “You saw?”
“Yes,” Meng Chu said lightly, pretending to be very magnanimous and not really caring.
But Cheng Jin suddenly stopped and turned his head to look at her. “Do you know why this kind of thing happens?”
Meng Chu: “…”
Wait, was he showing off?
Showing off that he had been hit on?
“Because you are handsome?” Meng Chu answered expressionlessly.
But Cheng Jin suddenly raised their joined hands, his left hand and Meng Chu’s right hand.
“See?” he said.
Meng Chu looked at his hand: long, fair, with distinct knuckles, the kind of beautiful hand that could be used as a hand model with any casual photo.
“I saw. Your hand is good-looking too.”
Meng Chu’s tone grew even colder.
But Cheng Jin did not mind, and only said slowly, “It is because there is no sign of marriage on my hand.”
Huh??
Meng Chu widened her eyes.
Afterward, she finally understood his words.
He meant that he had not put on a wedding ring, so the girl had come over to hit on him.
Put that way, it seemed to make sense.1
Meng Chu glanced not far away.
On the first floor of this mall were all kinds of luxury jewelry brands; the brand of the bracelet Cheng Jin had given her was also there, not to mention Bvlgari, Cartier, and the like.
If she wanted, they could go buy one right now.
But another thought rose in Meng Chu’s mind.
That was, she wanted to prepare the wedding ring herself.
If they went to buy it now, Cheng Jin would definitely pay again.
But this time, she wanted to take the initiative once.
