Chapter 68

"What happened?" Xiaoma asked, looking at Xiaotian.

"A friend of mine needs me for something; I have to go over there," Xiaotian said.

"Do you need my help?" Xiaoma asked.

"If I need it, I won't hesitate to ask," Xiaotian smiled slightly.

"Alright, then I'll take you there."

Xiaoma took Xiaotian to a coffee shop, the place where Lin Bingbing had agreed to meet him.

"I'm here," Lin Bingbing waved at Xiaotian.

"Officer Lin, you look even prettier after a few days," Xiaotian looked at Lin Bingbing without restraint.

"Can you use a different term?" Lin Bingbing said unhappily.

"Nike policewoman."

"Try another one."

"Nike policewoman sister."

"Fine, I give up." Lin Bingbing was speechless with Xiaotian.

"Officer Lin, your condition seems to have worsened," Xiaotian said, looking at Lin Bingbing. He had noticed her condition the first time he saw her.

"I know my condition, no need for you to worry about it," Lin Bingbing said coldly.

Xiaotian propped his chin with both hands and stared at Lin Bingbing.

"Why are you staring at me like that?"

"Because you look good," Xiaotian answered straightforwardly.

"Fine, I'll accept that." Lin Bingbing, hearing Xiaotian's words, had no way to counter and continued, "I came here today because I need your help."

"I know," Xiaotian nodded.

"How did you know?" Lin Bingbing looked at Xiaotian in confusion.

Xiaotian extended his right hand and placed it on Lin Bingbing's forehead.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm checking if you have a fever. Clearly, you just called me saying you needed my help," Xiaotian said calmly.

"Alright, will you help or not?" Lin Bingbing asked.

"No," Xiaotian shook his head.

"Why not?" Lin Bingbing asked again.

"If you agree to be my wife, I'll help," Xiaotian's eyes never left Lin Bingbing.

"Pervert, you just take advantage of people in trouble," Lin Bingbing scolded.

"Being my wife is to save your life," Xiaotian said seriously.

"I don't need your help," Lin Bingbing knew Xiaotian was trying to trick her with the same words from their first meeting.

"Fine," Xiaotian nodded.

"Fine with what?"

"Being my wife doesn't mean I have to save your life," Xiaotian replied.

"You're a scoundrel, you make me so angry," Lin Bingbing said angrily.

"How am I a scoundrel?" Xiaotian said innocently, as if he were the victim.

"I knew you were a miser. If you won't help, I'll solve it myself. If the worst happens, I'll just let the bad guys kill me," Lin Bingbing turned to leave.

"Wait," Xiaotian called out to Lin Bingbing, "I can help, but you have to kiss me."

"Help me first," Lin Bingbing turned around.

"Alright, tell me what you need help with," Xiaotian knew Lin Bingbing's request was definitely related to the special task force.

"It's my mission, to tail a man named Wang Gang and find out who he's connected to." Lin Bingbing handed the information to Xiaotian.

Name: Wang Gang.

Gender: Male.

Blood Type: AB.

Nickname: Toothless.

Education: First grade.

Background: Imprisoned three times for theft, robbery, and molestation.

The information was simple, with a clear photo attached.

"Why does your special task force handle everything? Shouldn't this be handled by the police?" Xiaotian asked in confusion.

"The team leader said that sometimes it's not a good idea for the police to handle things directly. That's when we, the special task force, step in and work with the police," Lin Bingbing explained.

"I don't understand," Xiaotian shook his head.

"Really dumb. Simply put, we help the police handle big cases," Lin Bingbing explained again.

"Aren't you a police officer yourself?" Xiaotian asked again.

"My public identity is a police officer, but in secret, I'm also part of the special task force."

"Sounds complicated," Xiaotian shook his head. "Never mind, let's go catch the guy."

"Wait, do you know where he is?" Lin Bingbing asked in confusion.

"Do you?" Xiaotian countered.

"No."

"If you don't know, why so many questions? Just follow me," Xiaotian turned and walked out.

Xiaotian picked up his phone and dialed Old Xu's number.

"Old Xu, do you know where the best sources of information are?"

"Gambling, drugs, and prostitution!"

"I'm on Tianshui Road. Where's the nearest casino?"

"Seven streets away, in an alley. Just say I was introduced by Old Xu when you get there."

"Got it."

Xiaotian hung up the phone.

"Who did you call?" Lin Bingbing asked curiously.

"A friend."

Seeing Xiaotian unwilling to say more, Lin Bingbing followed him.

"Wait!"

"What now?" Lin Bingbing looked at Xiaotian in confusion.

"We're going to a casino. If you go in like that, we won't get any information." Xiaotian had to admit that Lin Bingbing was indeed too beautiful, and her entire presence exuded righteousness. Even a fool could tell she was a police officer.

"What should we do?"

"Did you bring money?" Xiaotian asked.

"Yes."

"Then give me back the thousand yuan I spent last time," Xiaotian said, looking at Lin Bingbing.

"Miser, here you go," Lin Bingbing took out a thousand yuan.

"If you agree to be my wife, you don't have to pay. After all, you'd be my wife," Xiaotian tempted her.

"Are you trying to tempt me with a thousand yuan?" Lin Bingbing looked at Xiaotian coldly. "Am I only worth a thousand yuan?"

"A bit low," Xiaotian nodded.

"Stop talking nonsense. What should we do next?" Lin Bingbing asked.

"Of course, we need to dress up." Xiaotian took Lin Bingbing shopping. Thirty minutes later, Lin Bingbing looked completely different. She wore a long T-shirt, a very short denim skirt, a pair of non-mainstream shoes, a green wig, and very red lipstick.

"Do we really have to dress like this?" Lin Bingbing was stunned by her own appearance.

"Yep," Xiaotian nodded.

"Fine, for the mission, I'll accept it." Lin Bingbing gritted her teeth. She never thought she would dress like this; it was too shocking.

"Link arms with me."

"Why?"

"You need to make others think we're dating," Xiaotian explained.

"Alright," Lin Bingbing linked arms with Xiaotian.
