Breaking Through the Clouds - Chapter 13

 Translated by 231yolu :)

"Deputy Yan, Deputy Yan! Brother Gao sent a message saying … "

The female police trainee rushed over with her head lowered. Her voice stopped abruptly, and her mouth formed a comical "ah" shape.

In the hidden corner between the guardrail and the car, Yan Xuan was still holding Jiang Ting against the car door. The two of them turned their heads at the same time.

Their eyes met for a few seconds. Yan Xuan covered his mouth and coughed. He took half a step back, straightened his clothes, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Ting quickly opened the door and got into Deputy Yan's private car. He didn't say a word from beginning to end, as if nothing had happened. The female police trainee was stunned. Countless unspeakable mosaic images quickly flashed through her mind until Yan Xuan impatiently said, "Hey! I'm asking you a question!"

"Oh, yes, yes." The little girl shivered and stood at attention. "Deputy Yan, Brother Gao from the field investigation team called. He said that important evidence was found in the suspect Hu Weisheng's house. There were several journals and textbooks on experimental chemistry, and the latest iPhone that had been hacked. It's suspected to be something from the victim's bag."

Yan Xuan asked, "Did you take the phone to the technical investigation team to recover it?"

"Yes, yes. Director Huang from the technical investigation team said that the iPhone is not easy to recover. Deputy Captain Qin still has a few computers related to the drug trafficking case waiting to be recovered. You approved it at that time, so the phone in Hu Weisheng's house might have to wait until tonight or tomorrow to recover the data."

"Alright then." Yan Xuan squinted at the sky, turned his head, and shouted, "Big Dog!"

Gou Li roared from afar, "Call Director Gou —!"

"Gou Li!" Yan Xuan asked, "When will you be done on your side?"

"It's still early. It'll be good enough if I can finish before dark!"

Yan Xuan said, "That's good. My body has been smelly for the past few days. If I don't go home, take a shower, and sleep, I'm going to die of a sudden death while serving the people."

Before he finished speaking, the policewoman's heartbeat sped up by three beats. She kept looking into the car with her round, almond-shaped eyes, and the frequency of her eyelids fluttering was like a pair of bee wings equipped with a motor.

Looking at her, Yan Xuan was sure that she had only heard the two keywords, shower and sleep.

"Stop thinking!" Yan Xuan scolded in a low voice, and left under the policewoman's aggrieved gaze.

Yan Xuan was once the hottest candidate for a son-in-law in the public security system — that was in the past. At his peak, there were female colleagues in all the branches of Jianning City who were secretly in love with him. Even the leader of the provincial department personally called him to matchmake. However, ever since Yan Xuan chased away several female interns, scolded the policewoman until she cried in public because of a small mistake, and even asked the policewoman to go to the crime scene and move the decaying corpses without feeling that he had done anything wrong, his glory had gone down the drain, never to return.

Yan Xuan firmly believed that celebrities had never had plastic surgery, and that their photos were naturally photoshopped. He was a veteran with a slender waist and long legs, and a natural straight man.

The other protagonist of the indescribable image in the policewoman's mind, Jiang Ting, was actually from head to toe, except for his long legs, which were in line with Yan Xuan's aesthetic standards.

It was already rush hour, and the Third Ring Road was congested to the point where not even a drop of water could trickle through. Yan Xuan's straight car had been forced to change lanes several times, and his entire handsome face turned black. He suddenly pressed the horn and stuck his head out of the window. "Plug, plug, plug! Go f * ck yourself! No way! "

"It's just a lousy Volkswagen. If you have the guts, don't come and crowd the streets.

Yan Xuan: "Can't I afford it?!"

The Chery QQ arrogantly stuck out its middle finger from the window, and then suddenly accelerated and turned on its lights, forcibly squeezing into the gap of less than half a meter between the front of the Phaeton and the rear of the car in front.

This lightning-fast maneuver was thrilling, and it almost scared Yan Xuan into a cold sweat. He immediately braked and turned on his lights to give way, and the loudspeakers behind him suddenly blared into a sea of protest.

"F * ck your whole family!" Yan Xuan was furious. "I'm driving …"

Jiang Ting said indifferently, "Shout louder, and say that you're driving a Phaeton. Later, the whole road will overtake your car because you're more afraid of scratches than they are. Try it if you don't believe me. "

Yan Xuan: "…"

Yan Xuan angrily rolled up the window in the midst of the Chery QQ's victorious exhaust.

Jiang Ting's sitting posture was elegant and relaxed, his hands folded on his thighs, and there was no trace of anxiety on his face at all. Yan Xuan glanced at him several times from the rearview mirror, and the more he looked, the angrier he became. "Can't you sit in the front?"

"Why?"

"Sitting in the back, are you treating me like a driver?"

Jiang Ting said, "I dare not trouble you, Deputy Yan, then I'll have to trouble you to drop me off at the intersection ahead."

"Drop you off where? Gongzhou City Public Security Department? "

Jiang Ting looked out the window and stopped talking.
