Chapter 22

"Chief Prosecutor, what about the reincarnator downstairs..." The young man, who had just pushed open the door, stood there in a daze, his black police uniform standing out prominently.

Natalia, who was leaning on Lin Yifan, was taken aback for a moment and immediately stood up to tidy her disheveled clothes and hair.

"What's wrong?" Natalia straightened her clothes and noticed the young man staring at her.

Following the young man's gaze, Natalia saw that a lacy pair of panties was half-exposed from her pocket.

Her eyes narrowed, and Natalia quickly stuffed the panties back into her pocket, cursing Lin Yifan in her heart for digging out the panties she had forgotten in the sofa crevice, leading to this misunderstanding.

The young man stared at Natalia for a long time, and when he noticed Lin Yifan emerging from behind the sofa, he became furious.

"Who are you? What did you do to Natalia, you damn bug!" The young man, losing his composure, pounced on Lin Yifan, pinning him to the ground and preparing to punch him.

This guy wasn't a beauty like Natalia, and he wasn't a woman, yet he was trying to pin someone down like her?

Without a word, Lin Yifan punched the young man in the face, causing him to stagger back a few steps. Lin Yifan then kicked him away, pressing him to the ground and landing two more punches, knocking the young man's police cap off.

"Stop!" Natalia kicked the young man, who was still trying to fight, and shouted.

At this moment, Natalia exuded her unique authority, the sternness of a superior in front of a subordinate.

"Natalia, who is he! A reincarnator, why is he in your house!"

Natalia glanced at the young man and coldly said, "What's it to you? Who gave you permission to enter my house, Chief Zhou Xin!"

Staring up at Natalia, the young man, Zhou Xin, shrank back, "I... I saw the door was unlocked..."

"Let's drop that. And another thing! What did you call me? I told you, I'm your superior now, got it?"

Natalia's stern face was terrifying, but Lin Yifan, standing nearby, was relaxed and watching the show.

Natalia glared at Lin Yifan, "What are you laughing at!"

"What? You don't want me to laugh? Then I'll cry. Can I cry, beautiful Chief Prosecutor?" Lin Yifan, who was on the same level as Natalia, wasn't afraid of her glare, as no one except the mayor could control him.

Zhou Xin, like a child who had done something wrong, knelt on the ground, not daring to look up. Through the corner of his eye, he saw Lin Yifan's "ugly face" clearly. Reincarnators were all like that.

"Natalia... Chief Prosecutor, please tell me, who is he?" Zhou Xin kept staring at Lin Yifan, recalling the scene when he entered the room: the two of them on the sofa, and Natalia's pocket containing a lacy...

Thinking about it, Zhou Xin clenched his fists, his nails digging into his flesh.

Natalia's mouth opened slightly, then closed as she thought for a moment, "He? He is... a reincarnator threatened by the Arbitrators, who came to seek my help."

"Right, right, right!" Lin Yifan nodded happily, realizing that not all residents knew his identity. As long as his identity wasn't revealed, he didn't want to draw attention to himself.

Zhou Xin's face darkened, and he said in a hostile tone, "Is that so? You came to seek the Chief Prosecutor's help? Did you need to push her onto the sofa to do that?"

"Hey! Hey! Wait a minute, young man, we need to get this straight. This has nothing to do with me. It was the Chief Prosecutor who..."

Natalia rushed over and covered Lin Yifan's mouth, shouting, "Can't you keep your mouth shut?"

Seeing Lin Yifan's carefree attitude, Zhou Xin's anger grew. Moreover, Natalia seemed to be protecting Lin Yifan, which made everything seem abnormal.

"Natalia... Chief Prosecutor, have you forgotten? Forgotten the relationship between us residents and the reincarnators? Forgotten the painful lessons? He might die in some reincarnation one day..." Zhou Xin, with a dark face, seemed to be cursing Lin Yifan.

At this moment, Natalia wished she could slap Zhou Xin. Lin Yifan was the warden, and she needed his help. Why was Zhou Xin being so unreasonable? Couldn't he understand her subtle hints?

"Enough, Chief Zhou Xin. This is none of your business. Have your people drive away those troublemaking reincarnators."

Zhou Xin, still angry, said resentfully, "Chief Prosecutor, what does a reincarnator have to do with us? We should try to negotiate with the Arbitrators and establish some rules."

"Do I need to say it again? Leave now, immediately!"

As the Chief Prosecutor, Natalia would never act like she did in front of Lin Yifan when dealing with subordinates. After all, their ranks were different, and her attitude would change accordingly.

Zhou Xin's words were forced back into his throat by Natalia's shout. He turned his head to look at Lin Yifan, who was still sitting on the sofa, and slowly stood up, bowing to Natalia before walking out of the room.

Each step he took was a release of his anger. Zhou Xin left with a resentful look, slamming the door behind him.

Lin Yifan, sitting on the sofa, shook his head. He had only punched the young man a few times, and they could have talked things out. But Natalia's shout made him an enemy of the young man.

Zhou Xin directed all his resentment at Lin Yifan.

Natalia, with her arms crossed, sighed, "This junior is really impulsive."

"Beautiful Chief Prosecutor, can you introduce me to that young man?" Lin Yifan looked at Natalia with interest, impressed by her assertiveness.

Natalia glared at Lin Yifan, "I told you not to call me that, especially in front of my subordinates. If you call me that again, I'll use my scissor kick to crush your head!"

Lin Yifan chuckled, "Alright, alright, I'll call you in private."

"Not even in private!" Natalia really wanted to tear Lin Yifan apart. Every encounter with him brought trouble, and now he had made her look bad in front of her subordinates!

However, Natalia felt that as long as she had nothing to hide, she didn't need to explain too much to Zhou Xin. She believed he wouldn't think too much about it.

Sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed, Natalia lit a cigarette and took a deep puff, "He is my subordinate, the Chief of the New Recruits' Thirteenth District."

"Chief? He's pretty young, isn't he?"

Natalia looked at Lin Yifan with disdain, "Hmph, you always judge people by their appearance. I actually agree with his idea of establishing good relations with the Arbitrators and setting rules. He is a talented person."

"Oh? So this talented person doesn't know my identity?" Lin Yifan was curious about this. He wondered what level of people knew about him.

"Currently, only four people know your identity: the mayor, and the three Chief Prosecutors of the Twelfth, Thirteenth, and Fourteenth Districts."

Four people!?

Lin Yifan was surprised. It seemed only the neighboring districts knew about his existence.

But that was good. If the officers, lieutenants, and majors' districts... all the Chief Prosecutors came to him, wanting to fill his prison with criminals, he wouldn't be a warden but a dead man.

It seemed the mayor of the Infinite City knew he couldn't manage other districts and had only informed these three people to let him get some practice.

"Did the mayor tell you not to spread the word?" Lin Yifan asked in a low voice.

"Yes, the mayor said you just started and can't handle too much. But the mayor is wise, guessing that you, the warden, are... hmpf." Natalia didn't finish her sentence, just glaring coldly at Lin Yifan.

Lin Yifan, being a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, couldn't pretend to be capable when he wasn't. But he couldn't directly say the prison was a shoddy project. For now, he could only stall for time.

"So, my lovely and powerful Chief Prosecutor, can you send me, this poor warden, home? I'm being surrounded and hunted right now."

When complimented, Natalia's face flushed, but she was still angry, "Don't call me lovely, that's an insult! I can take you home, but will you agree to my request?"

"I can only try. My prison isn't ready yet. If you send people there, a breakout might happen the next day. In short... give me some time, okay?"

Natalia, with her arms crossed, looked at Lin Yifan for a long time. From his expression, she could tell he wasn't just making excuses. "Alright, I'll drive you back. Pack your things and come with me."

Natalia said this and walked into the bathroom alone, throwing the lacy panties in her pocket into the washing machine. She didn't want to be misunderstood again.

Standing in the bathroom, Natalia touched her chin, thinking about the scene of the two of them on the sofa... It did look suspicious, especially with the lacy panties in her pocket.

"Whatever, I'll find a chance to explain to that kid Zhou Xin. That Lin Yifan is always causing trouble, almost ruining my reputation."

Outside, Lin Yifan packed his things, put on the equipment he had bought, and followed Natalia to the parking lot.

Several security guards looked at Lin Yifan with strange expressions, especially when Natalia drove him away in her car. They looked as if they had seen a ghost.

One guard whispered, "What's going on? Why is the Chief Prosecutor taking a reincarnator with her?"

"I don't know, it's really weird today."

"Usually, wouldn't the reincarnator who causes trouble be beaten half to death by the Chief Prosecutor?"

Amidst the discussions, the sports car left the underground parking lot. Inside the car, Lin Yifan sat with his legs crossed, comfortably closing his eyes and lying down.
