When Chu Ge's fingers landed on the phone, a barely detectable trace of gentleness appeared in his smile.

If it weren't for Chen Yujie's video being posted online and Liang Chen being implicated, Chu Ge wouldn't even be considering contacting Bian Ziqun, let alone making this call.

Although Chen Zhihao hasn't contacted Chu Ge yet, Chu Ge has a strong intuition that Liang Chen will agree to meet, so it's only a matter of time before Chen Zhihao reaches out to him.

This means that when he meets Liang Chen, various situations might arise. Even though it's an unlucky thought, he has to admit that he may not be able to control the situation, and the worst outcome could very well become a reality.

So while he's still in Lidu, he suddenly feels that while he's doing something for his brother Song, meeting Mu Lingshan is also a good choice.

As Chu Ge dialed the number, Song Baijia grabbed his wrist and shook his head, "My brother, you..."

Chu Ge smiled gently, "Brother Song, we agreed before."

For some reason, at this moment, Song Baijia felt that there was something in Chu Ge's gentle smile that made his heart ache a little. After hesitating for a second, he finally gave a wry smile and let go.

The station chief moved forward, about to say something else, when he saw Chu Ge's eyes turn cold. His steps stopped immediately, looking embarrassed and troubled.

Chu Ge brought the phone to his ear, and after a brief calm, the "beep beep" sound started.

After so many days without contact, this Tiger Girl should be quite happy to receive my call, right?

If I tell her I hit a cop, what would her reaction be?

Come with a menacing spirit to cuff me?

Hmm... very possible!

Amid the "beep beep" waiting tones, Chu Ge's mind wandered. Besides anticipation, he was also a bit nervous.

"Beep... beep... beep..."

Finally, a woman's voice rang in Chu Ge's ear, but his lips twitched, and black lines covered his forehead.

"Sorry, the number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."

Chu Ge was utterly speechless. This automated message was a super mood killer that completely defeated all the anticipation and nervousness he had built up!

Even though Chu Ge hadn't put the phone on speaker, due to the silence in the room, the message was heard by everyone else as well.

A series of exhalations echoed as everyone felt their hearts, which were in their throats, settle down a bit. Those few seconds were even more nerve-racking for them than for Chu Ge.

But just as Chu Ge rolled his eyes, before everyone else's hearts could settle, Chu Ge's phone rang again.

Watching the screen, Chu Ge's lips turned upward, while everyone else's hearts seemed to be lifted again by an invisible hand.

"You rascal, you finally think of me today and are willing to call me?" With a light touch of his finger on the screen, Chu Ge brought the phone back to his ear, and Mu Lingshan's voice, tinged with teasing and a bit of reproach, came through.

Hearing this opening line, Chu Ge instinctively broke into a grin, his nervousness vanished, "Uh... Comrade Tiger Girl, didn't you also not call me?"

After he spoke, Chu Ge realized, damn, he was a bit short-circuited in the head. With so many people around, why did he habitually call Mu Lingshan Tiger Girl?

While Chu Ge was at a loss for words, the entire room of police officers exchanged glances, all pondering a single question: who exactly was Chu Ge calling, and who did he refer to as "Tiger Girl"?

"Is that even the same thing?" Mu Lingshan said grumpily, then added, "Tell me, did you get into trouble again? Why are you calling me?"

Chu Ge broke out in a sweat. What was Mu Lingshan talking about? When had he ever contacted her because he got into trouble?

After clearing his throat twice, Chu Ge said seriously, "I'm at the Xiangyang Police Station and found a suspect who's possibly a fake cop. Could you come deal with it?"

The whole room of police officers was on the verge of tears. Damn, they've seen brazen people, but never someone so brazen as to lie so confidently!

And from what it sounded like, this "Tiger Girl" was obviously someone within their police system, right?

While most of them were speculating, a few quick thinkers suddenly got serious. Could it be... her?

No way, right? Chu Ge dared to call her Tiger Girl? Is that possible? It couldn't be, absolutely impossible! With her temper, wouldn't calling her that be like courting death?

"Hmm?" Mu Lingshan's voice paused, clearly stunned. After a full two seconds, she continued in a strange tone, "Say that again? A fake cop in the police station? Are you joking with me?"

Mu Lingshan would've been surprised if she didn't find this unbelievable. Anyone would. Chu Ge felt it was already pretty good that Mu Lingshan hadn't hit him with a "are you crazy?".

"Alright, I don't have the leisure to joke with you. I'm waiting here, so you just bring your CID team over quickly. It took me a lot of effort to subdue this suspect, almost got hurt doing it."

"Hiss..."

Before Mu Lingshan could speak over the phone, the room was already filled with the sound of collective gasps.

Just because of those three words "CID team," everyone confirmed one thing: the "Tiger Girl" Chu Ge was talking about was indeed... indeed the most beautiful police officer in Lidu's law enforcement—Mu! Ling! Shan!

By this time, the back of the police station chief was already soaked with sweat. As the saying goes, there's no wall that doesn't leak, so even though Mu Lingshan's granduncle being the Provincial Party secretary wasn't widely broadcasted, he had heard a little of it. But even so, how could Chu Ge talk so casually with Mu Lingshan?

Oh no, perhaps it's not just casual; it's more like an order from a superior to a subordinate, or even... a husband to a wife?

Though there was no wind in the room, everyone fell into chaos after a gasp.

As for Bian Ziqun, his cigarette finally fell out of his mouth. At this moment, he finally understood the feeling of being stunned by five thunders. He subconsciously opened his mouth so wide that his jaw almost hit his foot.

Bian Ziqun felt like crying. How could anyone be as shameless as Chu Ge?

Chu Ge said it took him a lot of effort to subdue him? Almost got hurt? What an international joke! From beginning to end, it was clearly just him being one-sidedly mistreated, okay?

And since Chu Ge is so badass, why didn't he reveal his identity right from the start? Even if he had the courage of a lion or a tiger, he wouldn't dare to do such a self-destructive thing!

He forgot that Chu Ge did give him chances, but he didn't cherish them. Chu Ge initially didn't even think about doing anything to him, just wanted to handle a procedure for Song Baijia quietly.

Don't ordinary people have the right to be treated fairly?!

After being stunned for a few seconds, Bian Ziqun suddenly noticed that a cigarette had fallen to the ground. He hurriedly picked it up and put it back in his mouth, feeling a bitterness a hundred times more profound than its taste.

"Now..." Mu Lingshan hesitated for a moment, seemingly trying to assess the truth in Chu Ge's words. After two seconds, she seriously asked, "Is the situation really that severe?"

"Of course it's severe. Do you think I would joke with you about something like this?"

Chu Ge's words were firm and righteous. Even if Mu Lingshan found the matter unbelievable, she was influenced by his tone and believed it a little.

"But I'm... I'm at the Provincial Party School for training now."

"Uh..."

Chu Ge was speechless, feeling even more disappointed. He had been fantasizing about what it would be like if Mu Lingshan rushed over, and now that fantasy was shattered.

"Then why did you talk to me for so long? Forget it, I'll find someone else." Chu Ge muttered listlessly, raising his hand to pinch his brow, "Hmm... what is Li Duo's phone number again?"

"Li Duo? Who's Li Duo?" Mu Lingshan was momentarily taken aback, repeating the name twice reflexively. Why did it sound so familiar? But there didn't seem to be anyone by that name in the police system?

Not only was Mu Lingshan confused, but all the police officers in the room were also a bit dizzy. Huh? This name really sounds familiar, where have we heard it?

"Dizzy! Are you crazy! Are you talking about Mayor Li?"

Chu Ge was about to hang up when suddenly a high-pitched shout made his ear hurt a bit.

"Hey, hey, can you be a little quieter? What if you deafen me? Is there a need to be so shocked?"

"Nonsense! Stop messing around! I'll have our captain go, it's Xiangyang Police Station, right? I'll contact our captain now. I assure you he will be there right away, and don't you dare make a fuss!"

If the suggestion of getting the mayor involved came from someone else's mouth, Mu Lingshan would definitely not believe it. But since it came from Chu Ge, it was a different story.

After all, she had been in contact with Chu Ge for quite a while and knew that he often operated in an unorthodox manner. Even the most unbelievable things weren't impossible for him.

So Mu Lingshan was anxious, feeling a great sense of urgency!

After speaking, Mu Lingshan quickly hung up the phone, and the "beep beep" sound echoed in Chu Ge's ear again.

Soon after, a "thud" sound came to Chu Ge's ear.

Turning his head to look, he saw that the police station chief had already fallen to the ground. Although he was unconscious, his expression was exceptionally colorful, and his body was twitching as if in a seizure.
