Chapter 35: We Are Just Friends!
1229 Words
A man, when he has everything, will protect the woman he needs to guard. That's quite normal!
If he can't even do that, then he is no better than a beast.
And if a man still seeks to protect when he has nothing, that's not normal. How can he protect without anything? With what does he guard if he has nothing?
Her beautiful eyes surveyed Jack in the interrogation room.
Was this man always like this since he was young?
Fighting to the death?
The curiosity of a woman.
She was eager to know how Jack fought to the death when he was young.
Fantasizing, did this kid go wearing leaky underwear?
That's indeed rare.
How much must this man value his sister?
She has strived to reach where she is today, now twenty-seven, having dealt with countless people of all sorts. Yet, who would truly be willing to do such things for her?
Just go straight to fighting to the death with one word? This man has spirit.
It appears she needs to reassess the man before her.
"Jack, stop it!" Mary, in the interrogation room, seeing Jack starting a fight with the two policemen at the drop of a hat, exclaimed in shock: "Jack, you can't hit the police!"
Jack was still angry.
But hearing Mary say so, he finally let go of the policeman's collar and stood up.
"You!"
"You dared to hit the police!"
"I'm telling you, you're dead!"
The two beaten policemen, seeing Jack getting up, shouted. They had been policemen for many years and always bullied others. When had they ever been bullied like this, dared to be hit by someone? This man was looking for death!
"Shut the f**k up!" Old Liu stood at the door, shouting in anger.
"Shut up!"
Well, it seems Li Tao's status was not small. A shout from him, and those two policemen calmed down and dared not say a word anymore. They dusted themselves off and stood up.
Although Mary was puzzled by police officer Li Tao's reaction, she wasn't foolish. Thinking carefully, she speculated that something must be amiss. Her being insulted and Jack's furious reaction were normal, but Li Tao's reaction was unusual.
"Sister, are you okay? They didn't bully you, did they?" Jack said.
"I'm fine!" Mary looked at Jack sternly and said, "Don't do this again, you're too impulsive."
Jack didn't say anything.
Was he being impulsive?
He only did what he was supposed to do.
Although Mary said so on the surface, she was actually very pleased inside. She was just worried about Jack.
Her little brother was always like this.
Always protecting her, ensuring she doesn't suffer the slightest grievance.
Even the slightest grievance.
"Sister, we should also thank her this time!" Jack led Mary out of the interrogation room and pointed towards Diana.
"Giggles, little handsome boy, I didn't expect you to remember your sister here," Diana giggled, "I thought seeing your beautiful sister would make you forget about your other sister, oh, right, I have some things to take care of, so I'll leave for today!"
Diana waved her hand, then the next moment, she walked away on her high heels.
A few simple words.
"Who is she?" Mary watched Diana leave briskly and asked with some confusion.
Soon, Jack and others left as well.
Seeing Jack and Diana leave, he breathed a sigh of relief, then glared at the two policemen who were beaten and said: "Keep your mouth clean from now on. For those you can provoke, you can talk like that, but for those you can't, talking like that is seeking death. Let me tell you, getting beaten today is letting you off easy!"
If it wasn't for those policemen insulting Mary, few would dare to beat up two policemen so boldly.
Strictly speaking, that's assaulting a police officer!
"What happened today!" The beaten policeman, holding his face, said aggrievedly.
Shaking his head, he said: "This has already been escalated to Director Dong. We arrested someone we shouldn't have. Hmph, it's all that old Yan's fault!"
With that, he stepped out and found a secluded spot.
He took out his phone quickly and dialed a number.
A clothing store.
The store's owner was an old man.
Yan Bin was sitting in his office, with a woman over thirty sitting in his lap. This middle-aged woman was very seductive, occasionally teasing the old man, giggling. Although this woman wasn't exactly beautiful, she had her charms, and her ability to seduce wasn't small.
In just a short while, Yan Bin was teased to death and couldn't stop, like a cat in heat.
"Uh!"
Diana took her leave proactively, Jack, and Mary hailed a taxi to go home.
After such an incident today, Jack wouldn't let his sister stay in the store any longer, so he handed everything over to Tracy.
In the car, Jack and Mary sat side by side in the back seat.
Mary really wanted to ask.
But when the words reached her lips, she didn't know how to start.
What to say?
Mary looked out the window, her voice soft. She placed her hand on her jeans, which didn't reveal a hint of her long legs. She had always been a traditional woman, only showing a bit of skin at home.
"She's very pretty..." Mary said, the words finally coming out.
"Ah!"
Jack, thinking deeply, knew Mary was talking about Diana and nodded: "Yes, she is very pretty."
Hearing this, Mary didn't say a word.
This man also acknowledged the fact that the woman was pretty.
Indeed, anyone who saw that woman would sincerely say so.
Fashionable, pretty, sexy. With a beautiful smile and poised demeanor, like a bright flower, she was much better than her.
Without speaking, Jack also didn't know what to say.
The atmosphere in the car suddenly quieted down.
Mary's large eyes stared out the window, her temperament leaning towards tranquility. She wouldn't say too much unnecessary talk, no matter the situation, she wouldn't actively ask about others' matters because those had nothing to do with her. How many people did she care about?
One, two, three.
Counting on her fingers.
One?
Mary really wanted to know, that breathtakingly beautiful woman with a seductive aura that could make any man fall with just a look, what exactly was her relationship with Jack? Did Jack like her? Indeed, considering Jack's age, it indeed was time for him to have a girlfriend.
The atmosphere became more and more awkward.
Jack also felt the awkwardness of the atmosphere.
Until they got out of the car.
The taxi stopped in front of the residential area.
Jack felt something was off today.
"What's the matter?"
He tried hard to think.
After a long while, it seemed he understood something.
"Actually..." Jack took a deep breath and said: "She and I are just ordinary friends!"
Jack walked ahead.
While Mary stopped for a moment behind him.
It could be seen.
Her mouth corners lifted, drawing a happy smile, with a graceful arc, quiet with an enchanting charm.
Jack didn't see this smile.
Mary—
She was very happy.
She didn't know why, but she was happy.
It was like, just now, she had lost something, and in that moment, what she lost came back to her.
She decided, today, she would make a very sumptuous dinner.
