Looking at the redhead who was subdued in an instant, and the blonde who didn't have the guts to continue, Mu Lingshan was utterly speechless.

These two boys were just too cowardly, weren't they? With skills like that, they thought they could pull off a robbery? At least let Chu Ge throw a few more moves, right? With just that, she couldn't see anything at all?

As Mu Lingshan was feeling annoyed, Chu Ge chuckled and glanced at the two frightened little punks, "Not leaving yet? Are you really waiting for the police to come and arrest you?"

Hearing Chu Ge say this, the redhead and the blonde felt like they were granted amnesty, dared not say another word, and turned to run.

Mu Lingshan sighed inwardly, not bothering to argue about Chu Ge letting them go just like that. Compared to catching those two failed robbery kids, she was more interested in whether Chu Ge and that mysterious expert were the same person.

Not long after, Chu Ge took Mu Lingshan home. Anyway, there was nothing at his place that could give Mu Lingshan any clues, so he thought he might as well let her come and see for herself, to make her give up on this notion as soon as possible.

Back home, Chu Ge used the excuse of washing some fruits for Mu Lingshan to slip into the kitchen, leaving her an opportunity to search for answers. Mu Lingshan's eyes scanned the place, but unfortunately, after a long look, she didn't see any clues.

"Could it all really just be a coincidence?"

After pondering for a moment, Mu Lingshan decided to test Chu Ge in the most direct way. If this time she still couldn't figure it out, then she would stop overthinking.

Even though this method was a last resort, she had no other choice.

"Chu Ge, I saw you handled yourself well just now. When people came at you with batons, you didn't seem flustered at all, as if you didn't take that redhead seriously?"

When Chu Ge came out of the kitchen after washing two apples, Mu Lingshan stared into his eyes and asked.

With an amused expression, Chu Ge handed an apple to Mu Lingshan, "You call this good skills? Oh, come on, if I couldn't even deal with those little brats, then I'd have wasted my life these past years. If it were you, after receiving pointers from that master, you'd definitely be much better than me."

Not taking the apple from Chu Ge's hand, Mu Lingshan continued, "Since you're so good, why don't we spar a bit? Just so I can try out the skills taught to me by that mysterious expert."

Chu Ge was taken aback, even with all his calculations, he didn't expect Mu Lingshan to make such a request.

"Uh... maybe let's not. If I really fought with you, wouldn't you accuse me of assaulting an officer? I can't bear such a charge, and besides, you've had so much to drink, don't make yourself sick."

Mu Lingshan had anticipated Chu Ge would refuse, so she didn't bother asking for his consent, and directly punched him.

"Less talk, take this!"

Chu Ge felt more helpless, thinking Mu Lingshan was too persistent, even resorting to such means to test him.

It showed how determined Mu Lingshan was to uncover the truth about that mysterious expert.

Helpless as he was, Chu Ge had no choice but to "frantically" dodge, "luckily" evading the punch.

"Officer Mu, you're really over the top. You're a cop, shouldn't bully civilians like this."

Hearing this from Chu Ge, Mu Lingshan's face, already flushed from drinking, turned even redder with embarrassment.

However, even though she knew what she was doing was unbecoming, she had already made a move to test Chu Ge, so she kept quiet and sent a kick his way.

If she confirmed Chu Ge wasn't the mysterious expert, she'd simply apologize to him later.

Seeing Mu Lingshan determined to spar with him, Chu Ge had no choice but to "hurriedly" fend off the kick, place the two apples on the table, and turn to run.

Mu Lingshan wasn't about to let Chu Ge off that easily, and immediately chased after him.

It was quite a predicament for Chu Ge. Although he could easily take down Mu Lingshan, he didn't want to reveal his true skills, so he could only dodge back and forth, occasionally feigning weakness to dispel her suspicions.

The two chased and dodged from the living room to the kitchen, and again from the kitchen to the bedroom, for a good ten minutes before Mu Lingshan finally stopped, panting heavily, having reached a conclusion and breathed a sigh of relief.

To Mu Lingshan, if Chu Ge were really that mysterious expert, then during their fight, no matter how he tried to hold back, there would still be some subconscious movements that would betray him. But after her careful observation, she ruled out the possibility.

Chu Ge indeed had some skills, but compared to that expert, he was leagues behind. They couldn't possibly be the same person.

As she sat on the edge of Chu Ge's bed, panting heavily, dizziness overtook her as the alcohol finally hit her after all the exertion.

Chu Ge stood opposite Mu Lingshan, hands on his knees, also "breathing heavily" with a "beleaguered" look, "Officer Mu… I mean are you… are you crazy? Going all out while playing around? Is this what that mysterious expert taught you? Kicking groins and poking eyes, that's really low."

Mu Lingshan glared at Chu Ge, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and panted heavily, "You… you can't badmouth him, or else I'll… I'll beat you up again. I… I'm so dizzy, I… I need a rest."

After speaking, Mu Lingshan lay down on Chu Ge's bed. The moment her head touched the pillow, the dizziness became even stronger, and her eyelids seemed to get heavier. Unknowingly, she closed her eyes.

Having spent quite some time sparring with Mu Lingshan in a suit, Chu Ge was already feeling a bit hot. Watching her lie down on his bed, besides feeling hot, Chu Ge also felt at a loss for words.

Chu Ge's lips twitched as he thought to himself, aren't you a bit too rude? Do you think this is your house? Just lying down without a word? Man, I'm still hot, and I was hoping to lie down and rest a bit too.

Despite his speechlessness, since Mu Lingshan had already laid down, he couldn't exactly drag her off the bed. Forget it, if she wants to rest for a bit, let her. I'm open-minded and won't stoop to the level of this little police flower.

He took off his suit jacket, loosened a few buttons of his shirt, went to the bathroom, and splashed cold water forcefully on his face. Only then did Chu Ge feel a bit cooler, yet he didn't immediately return to the bedroom. Instead, he lit a cigarette in the living room and sat down to rest for a while.

Having finished a cigarette, Chu Ge came to the bedroom door thinking this persistent little police flower probably had enough rest by now, and should be leaving, right?

However, to his amusement, Mu Lingshan was obviously asleep, and she looked like she was sleeping deeply.

Chu Ge rubbed his forehead, walked to the bedside, and gently nudged Mu Lingshan's shoulder. "Officer Mu, are you serious? It's one thing to come here and start a fight out of nowhere, but now you're occupying my bed?"

"..."

"Wake up, go home to sleep. Otherwise, I'm going to draw Shin-chan on your face, believe it or not."

"..."

"Hey, wake up, you…"

"Why?"

Chu Ge nudged Mu Lingshan several times without any response. Suddenly, she mumbled something incoherent, which left Chu Ge momentarily stunned.

"What do you mean, why?" Chu Ge thought he had woken her up and asked.

"Why did you leave so quickly? Why couldn't you give me a chance to thank you in person?"

Mu Lingshan mumbled somewhat unclearly, her eyelashes quivering lightly, yet her eyes remained closed.

Upon seeing, it was evident she hadn't woken up but was mumbling in her sleep.

Chu Ge scratched his head speechlessly, thinking, of course, if you knew it was me who saved you, you'd come looking for my help with every case, and I wouldn't get to do anything else all day.

Seeing Mu Lingshan like this, Chu Ge indeed felt a bit reluctant to keep waking her. Though speechless, there was nothing he could do and decided to lie down on the sofa outside, waiting until Mu Lingshan woke up.

However, just as Chu Ge was leaving the bed and before he could take two steps, Mu Lingshan's sleep-talk voice came again from behind.

"You know, I really want to see you again. You're like a prince in a fairy tale, a hero in a novel. When I close my eyes, it's you. I wish I didn't have to wake up and could be a sleeping beauty in a world with only you, waiting for your kiss to wake me up. Wouldn't that be wonderful..."

Chu Ge turned to look at Mu Lingshan and couldn't help but find it increasingly amusing.

He really hadn't expected that someone as persistent and somewhat stern as Mu Lingshan, with seemingly nothing but justice in her mind, could say such poetic sleep-talk.

Moreover, looking at Mu Lingshan's expression at that moment, she had the tender, shy look of a woman deeply enamored, completely different from her usual self.

Standing by the bedside, Chu Ge watched for a while longer, but since Mu Lingshan said nothing further, he resignedly covered her with the blanket, walked out of the bedroom, and closed the door behind him.

Chu Ge genuinely found it quite funny. This fiery-tempered lady cop, Mu Lingshan, could transform into an artistic young woman? It really goes to show you can't judge a book by its cover. Those poetic lines she just muttered were quite convincing too.

Hearing those words from her mouth, Chu Ge really began to doubt his ears, finding it truly hilarious.

Hmm, I'm the prince you were looking for, but whether you're a sleeping beauty or not, or need the prince to kiss you awake, has nothing to do with me.

If you knew the truth, what kind of reaction would you have?

He had originally planned to have a nice long sleep tonight, but it seems that's now impossible.

Nonetheless, Chu Ge had no other option. He washed up, then lay on the sofa in the living room, amusingly thinking about these things, and gradually fell asleep as he made do.

As the night deepened.
