Chapter 278 - 278, Stop, I Can’t Take It Anymore

"Since that’s the case, let’s take them both back to the station!" Jiang Li’s eyes sparkled with excitement.

Her heart was incredibly thrilled.

She believed that after today’s event,

those who once looked down on her would definitely see her in a new light.

Though capturing Jiang Quan and Chen Nan today was a major achievement,

it was she who led the team to apprehend them!

Jiang Li looked towards Chen Nan, her voice sounding pleasant, "Chen Nan, let’s head back..."

Before she could finish speaking, she keenly sensed something off about Chen Nan, his eyes dull and listless, appearing somewhat despondent as if he had encountered some misfortune.

"Brother Wang, you guys go ahead and interrogate the suspects!" she told a middle-aged man, planning to stay behind and keep Chen Nan company.

Though this guy was a scoundrel, which she deeply despised,

he was still her lifesaver!

After the others drove off, Jiang Li turned her gaze to the brand-new Mercedes AMG S-Class luxury car beside Chen Nan, her eyes revealing an undeniable admiration, "I had no idea you would be so low-key."

"This car must be worth three to four million, right?"

"Anyone who doesn’t know much about cars would think it’s just a regular S-Class."

"It suits your style of being low-key personally but high-profile in your actions."

She wasn’t flattering Chen Nan just because he looked so downcast.

She believed that if it were any other person her age, they might have bought one of those so-called supercars which definitely turn heads and attract beautiful girls.

But Chen Nan was different from ordinary people, spending a lot of money on a very discreet yet luxurious car.

Upon hearing Jiang Li’s compliments, Chen Nan displayed a bitter smile, shaking his head, "You don’t have to flatter me deliberately, it makes me feel awkward!"

Jiang Li’s heart trembled intensely, feeling a stab of pain.

She knew Chen Nan well.

If it had been before, if she complimented Chen Nan, he would definitely have asked her to keep talking to satisfy his vanity.

But now,

he wasn’t even in the mood to listen to her compliments...

Thinking this, she changed the topic, her eyebrows filled with curiosity, "I’m curious about something, how did you manage to sense murderous intent from Jiang Quan? Why couldn’t I feel it?"

Chen Nan pondered for a moment before explaining, "Everyone emits a different magnetic field, like the one between the poor and the rich, which greatly varies. If you pay attention, even if a poor person wears a suit and a rich person wears clothes with patches, their magnetic fields can’t be altered."

"And certain things can change these magnetic fields, like the act of killing."

"If you don’t believe it, you could go to a poultry market and observe at the stalls where they slaughter live chickens."

"Merchants who slaughter chickens there have quite a distinct magnetic field, especially their eyes. If you make eye contact, you can’t help but feel terror."

He vividly remembered when he was a child going to the vegetable market with his mother, there was an aunt who slaughtered chickens, her eyes vicious and cold. Every time his mother asked her to kill a chicken, he would hide far away.

Back then he didn’t know why he was scared of that aunt.

But after two years of meditation in the mountains, he figured out why that aunt induced fear in him.

It was because she emitted a strong murderous intent.

However,

the murderous intent generated from killing hundreds of chickens was not as intense as killing a person!

Jiang Li nodded thoughtfully, unable to suppress an exclamation, "No wonder, every time I’m with you I feel somewhat strange; it turned out to be the scoundrel’s magnetic field influencing me!"

Chen Nan rolled his eyes at her, then looking at the setting sun gradually disappearing, he exhaled a sigh, and then said, "The Daoist priest is a bit hungry, let’s go find a place to eat."

Saying this, he opened the driver’s door and sat in.

Jiang Li opened the passenger door, bent down, and with a smile looked at Chen Nan, "Chen Nan, may I sit in your passenger seat?"

Seeing the beautiful smile of Officer Jiang and the curve revealed by the neckline as she bent, Chen Nan’s heartbeat quickened, and a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Don’t mention the passenger seat, even if you want to sit on the gearbox, that’s also fine."

Jiang Li slightly furrowed her brows, clearly clueless about what Chen Nan meant by "gearstick." However, as soon as she saw Chen Nan’s mischievous smile, a charming blush instantly rose on her delicate face.

At this point.

How could she not know what Chen Nan meant by "gearstick"?

This reminded her of the time she bathed in the Zhao Family’s lake and accidentally sat on Chen Nan’s "gearstick."

Though it had happened before.

Recalling this event, she felt a wave of heat rising from beneath her.

Her heart fluttered like a startled deer, bringing with it a surge of warmth.

With a huff, she cursed, "Dead jerk," and then sat in the passenger seat, buckling her seatbelt.

There was a complex look in Chen Nan’s eyes as he spoke, "You are the first passenger in my front seat."

Logically.

This seat should have been reserved exclusively for Nie Xiaoyu.

But now.

He didn’t even know where Nie Xiaoyu had gone.

Only at this moment did Jiang Li realize that Chen Nan’s sorrow was because of a woman.

This revelation astounded her.

Because she knew Chen Nan was a thorough scoundrel.

Logically, a scoundrel shouldn’t feel sorrow over a woman’s departure!

This made her realize that Chen Nan might be different from other scoundrels.

He might be a scoundrel, but he was one with a deep sense of loyalty and love!

Coming to her senses, Jiang Li revealed a charming smile and said, "Being the first passenger in Daoist Master Chen’s beloved car is my honor..."

Before she could finish.

Chen Nan suddenly floored the accelerator, and the "beast in a suit" beneath them displayed its unmatched mechanical quality, shooting forward like an arrow off its string!

The next moment.

Jiang Li let out a piercing scream, "Ah..."

"Slow down..."

"Are you trying to kill us..."

"Stop now..."

"I can’t take this..."

Jiang Li had never experienced a car with such a powerful thrust.

She was so frightened that her face drained of color.

She felt as if her entire body was glued to the seat, with the illusion that her body was running ahead and her soul was trying to catch up.

"Screech!"

Without any warning, Chen Nan slammed on the brakes hard.

All four tires stopped at once, but due to inertia, they slid forward, the friction creating a piercing sound and a plume of thick smoke slowly rising.

"Jerk, you accelerate when you want, brake when you want; have you ever considered my feelings?" Jiang Li covered her chest, still shaken, as she glared at Chen Nan furiously.

Chen Nan, slightly embarrassed, said, "You can’t blame me. Blame your scream just now; it was too captivating."

Recalling her own scream, Jiang Li’s pale face immediately flushed a shade of red.

Not to mention Chen Nan’s wandering thoughts.

Even she felt it sounded as if she was moaning in bed...
