Chapter 93

Entering the hearing room, Ferren glanced at the girl, seeing the smug look on her face, and his heart sank, knowing something was seriously wrong.

Sure enough, Ling Shu shot him a glare, sitting in the main seat without a word. Instead, Zhong Weiming spoke up, "PI Ferren, I will now announce the results of this hearing. If you are dissatisfied with the outcome, you may file an appeal to the Police Complaints and Discipline Board within seven working days!"

Ferren nodded to indicate his understanding, but his brows furrowed slightly.

Zhong Weiming, regardless of Ferren's thoughts, proceeded according to procedure, "PI18166, given your close association with the triad member, Gu Jingling, you are hereby suspended from duty until the impact of this matter is completely resolved!"

Upon hearing the result, Ferren instantly realized that all the previous questions were indirect probes to clarify his relationship with the girl. Going to the illegal racing site with her was somewhat understandable, but helping her pay off her high-interest loans was beyond friendship. As for the close association, they had indeed been intimate, and Xie Yixin, Dai Yan, and Qiu Zhaqiang had all seen it, leaving no room for argument.

Ferren could only respond, "Yes, Sir!"

Seeing that Ferren did not immediately quit, Ling Shu and Xie Yixin both breathed a sigh of relief, especially Xie Yixin. She had only insisted on putting Ferren in his place because she felt jealous when she saw him and the girl sharing a room; otherwise, she wouldn't have let it go.

After handing over the illegal racing case to Inspector Zhang, Ferren received a text from Ling Shu, which read, "Exclusive Coffee Shop!"

Ferren's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately said to Inspector Zhang, "Inspector Zhang, since I'm on leave, I'll take my leave now. See you later!"

Inspector Zhang hurriedly said, "Wait, wait, Ferren, you still need to take Ah Dong to the illegal racing site tonight, or he won't be able to get into the circle!" Ah Dong, whose real name was Hu Dong, was the colleague taking over Ferren's work.

"That's no problem. Just give him my number, and he can contact me when it's time!" Ferren said this and left the traffic department, not even driving. After circling the area a few times, he headed straight to the Exclusive Coffee Shop, which was three streets away.

Ling Shu had been waiting in the shop. When Ferren sat down, she said softly, "I really can't understand what you're thinking!"

Ferren grinned mischievously, "Why do you say that?"

"You clearly have a lot of money, so why did you become a police officer?" Ling Shu sighed, "You know, just those two asset statements are equivalent to the entire police force's budget for two years, let alone the fact that you wouldn't keep all your money in Standard Chartered and Citibank, right?"

Ferren said half-jokingly, "Sister Ling, this is my personal privacy. Although we have a good relationship, you don't need to pry so openly, do you?"

Ling Shu gave him a flirtatious glare, "Alright, no more jokes. Let's get serious!"

"I'm all ears!"

Ling Shu pondered for a moment, "Gu Jingling's background is relatively clean. If you want to return to work quickly, find a way to send her abroad. I don't think this will be difficult for you, Mr. Rich Man!"

Ferren teased, "That's not hard, but she's my girlfriend now, and we're very close. I can't bear to part with her!" As he said this, his eyes roamed over Ling Shu's face, catching a faint trace of disappointment in her eyes.

Ling Shu felt a bit uncomfortable under Ferren's gaze and said with a hint of resentment, "That's your business. Why are you telling me?" She paused and immediately signaled the waiter, "Check, please!"

Ferren, unusually attentive, said, "Let me pay the bill!"

Ling Shu glanced at him, "I invited you here to give you advice, so you should pay!" She smiled and left with a sway of her hips, exuding charm.

The news of Ferren's suspension by the higher-ups quickly spread throughout the entire Hong Kong Island district, and the colleagues were abuzz with gossip. But for Ferren, these rumors were no longer his concern. He drove the battered Ferrari back to Shallow Water Bay, then switched to an Aston Martin DB7 and headed to Gu Jingling's place.

Upon entering, he found Gu Jingling still asleep. Ferren immediately climbed into her bed and started rubbing against her.

"Ugh, stop it!" the girl said lazily, "I'm still in pain, and my whole body feels like it's falling apart. I can't give you anything right now."

Ferren usually had little patience with women, but if it weren't for Gu Jingling's pure yin energy, they might have already gone their separate ways, with him just giving her some money to get rid of her. Now, things were different. Ferren felt he owed her, so he decided to keep her around, just another woman in his life.

Ferren kissed her forehead, "Get up. Didn't you say you visit your grandmother every weekend?"

"Oh, right, it's Saturday! Oh no..." Gu Jingling immediately sat up, ignoring Ferren's heated gaze on her bare upper body, and hopped out of bed.

"Ouch!"

A sharp pain shot through her lower body, and she cried out, nearly falling over. If Ferren hadn't caught her quickly, she would have fallen hard. "Be careful. If you want to get dressed, I can help you!"

After a moment of intimate interaction, Gu Jingling's face was red to the roots of her neck. "Old Ferren, you really are a hidden pervert!"

Ferren shook his head, "Form is emptiness, emptiness is form!"

"Form is emptiness? What does that mean?" Gu Jingling, who dropped out of high school to join the underworld, naturally didn't understand what Ferren was saying.

"That means..." Ferren was about to explain but suddenly froze.

Damn, desire is a human weakness, and indulging in it can lead to demonic possession. The problem was that he only had desire but lacked the demonic body, mind, and power. Becoming a demon was impossible, but falling into demonic possession was more likely. Once that happened, maintaining a clear mind would be difficult, and he would face destruction. Thinking of this, Ferren was drenched in cold sweat, and his desire vanished.

In short, only a demon could indulge in desire without restraint, and Ferren was far from that level of power and realm. Therefore, he had to be moderate with his desires!

"Old Ferren, what's wrong?" Gu Jingling waved her hand in front of his face.

Ferren caught her hand, "I'll take you to see your grandmother first. Also, don't live here anymore. I'll find you a new place!"

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

When they got downstairs and saw the Aston Martin, Gu Jingling was immediately excited, "Wow, Old Ferren, is this your car?"

Ferren rolled his eyes, "Of course! Get in!"

After getting in the car, Ferren took a card from the dashboard drawer and handed it to Gu Jingling, "Take it!"

"What is it?" Gu Jingling looked at the card, "A Citibank credit card? This thing needs to be paid off every month, I don't want it!" She tried to give it back.

Ferren didn't take it, starting the car as he said, "It's a supplementary card. The monthly withdrawal limit is 100,000, and the credit limit is 10 million. The password is six sixes. It's yours now."

"What?!" Gu Jingling was shocked, shaking her head, "Old Ferren, this is too valuable, I can't accept it!"

Ferren said sternly, "You're my woman now, and you have to listen to me. Don't make your own decisions! Besides, you weren't afraid to steal my Ferrari before, so why are you afraid of this card?"

Gu Jingling lowered her head, sobbing, "Old Ferren, sniff... It seems your sense of duty as a police officer is different. If... sniff... someone from the underworld took my body, they would probably play with me and then sell me to... sniff... a brothel!"

"Stop crying, it's annoying!" Ferren drove onto the main road, "By the way, which nursing home is your grandmother in?"

Gu Jingling sniffed, "In the Shatin area, at the St. Francis Nursing Home!"

"So far?!"

They sped across almost the entire Kowloon and Hong Kong regions before arriving at the St. Francis Nursing Home.

After visiting the elderly, Ferren casually donated 100,000 Hong Kong dollars and proposed transferring Gu Jingling's grandmother to another nursing home. The director, naturally, agreed to the request from this generous benefactor.

Ferren then contacted Zhuang Yuehua, and with her help, the transfer was smoothly arranged.

Seeing Ferren's relaxed expression after the call, Gu Jingling asked, "Old Ferren, is it done? Where is my grandmother being transferred to?"

"Sai Wan, Mrs. Ho's Nursing Home!" Ferren said, "I happen to have a house there, so you can move in too!"

Gu Jingling was a bit uneasy, "Old Ferren, I heard that many of the elderly there are from wealthy families. Will my grandmother fit in?"

Ferren waved his hand, "Don't worry, they're all just unfortunate people, no one is better or worse than anyone else." Indeed, if the children were filial, no one would leave their elderly in a nursing home.

However, when they arrived at Mrs. Ho's Nursing Home, Gu Jingling was shocked by the facilities, which were like a high-end apartment complex!

Thanks to Zhuang Yuehua's prior arrangements, Gu Jingling's grandmother was admitted smoothly. After settling in, Ferren took Gu Jingling to a nearby house.

Gu Jingling thought it would be an apartment, but Ferren led her to a seaside villa on Mount Moses Road.

Gu Jingling was stunned, stammering, "Old, Old Ferren, the house you mentioned... isn't it this... this one?"

"Of course it is. What did you think I was doing, driving here for nothing?" Ferren said, taking out a remote control, opening the electric gate, and driving the Aston Martin into the courtyard.
