Chapter 12: Scum of Scums

Hearing this, Luo Yichen quickly returned to the living room. When he saw that Assistant Liu’s hand was about to touch the duvet, he yelled, “Don’t move!”

Assistant Liu was startled and quickly retracted his hand.

Luo Yichen went straight to the sofa—held the pillow and duvet in his arms—and said coolly, “This is for myself. I slept on the sofa for a while yesterday.”

Assistant Liu: “…”

You don’t mess with someone with mysophobia!

“If there’s nothing else, you can leave now.” Luo Yichen said, before returning to his bedroom.

Assistant Liu: “…” Was he given the cold-shoulder?

After returning to his room, Luo Yichen placed the duvet and pillow on the sofa in the bedroom. He went to the bathroom and saw a white dress on the drying rack—it was Qu Ling’er’s. He turned on the light and immediately saw the Post-it note on the mirror. He took it down and saw a few lines of neat and beautiful handwriting: “Brother, thank you for letting me stay over. I’ve borrowed one of your white T-shirts and a belt. Can I buy you another one in exchange? By the way, you can let me know if you have any cravings in future. I will get it and deliver it to you.

She even drew a smiley face at the end and signed it off as “Qu Ling’er.”

Luo Yichen looked at the Post-it note and could not help but smile. When he put the Post-it note in the drawer of the bedside table, he saw the identity card again. The lass left her identity card here—would it be inconvenient for her to go anywhere? He pursed his lips and left the bedroom again.

He looked at Assistant Liu—who was about to leave—and asked, “Where did you put my cell phone?”

Assistant Liu pointed at his bag on the sofa. “It’s in your bag. If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first.”

As Luo Yichen went to get his cell phone, he casually asked, “Did anyone call me this afternoon?”

“No.” Assistant Liu shook his head. “But there was a sasaeng fan who called. I don’t know where she got your number from. It’s so annoying—the first thing she said was ‘Brother’—I blocked her!”

Luo Yichen was speechless. He had a bad feeling. He quickly scanned the ‘Blocked’ records—saw Qu Ling’er’s number—and shot Assistant Liu a cold-eyed look. “Hurry up and leave!” With that, he took his cell phone and returned to the bedroom.

Assistant Liu’s mind was filled with questions. Why was he suddenly angry? He was so strange today.

After returning to his room, Luo Yichen removed Qu Ling’er’s phone number from the ‘Blocked’ list. Assistant Liu had treated her as a sasaeng fan because he did not save Qu Ling’er’s phone number. It was obvious that the lass must have realized that she had left her identity card here and called him—she must be very anxious now. He thought for a moment and decided on a nickname for Qu Ling’er—Lass. After saving it, he called Qu Ling’er.

Qu Ling’er was about to fall asleep in the interrogation room when her cell phone rang and startled her. She looked at her cell phone—saw that it was Luo Yichen—and was near to tears with agitation.

Qu Ling’er said, “Hello, Brother. Are you home already? I think I left my identity card at your house. Can you help me find it? I’ll go get it later.”

Luo Yichen replied, “Yes, I’m at home. Where are you? Aren’t you coming over now?”

Qu Ling’er looked at the door and said helplessly, “I’m afraid I can’t go over now.”

Luo Yichen asked, “Huh? Why?”

Qu Ling’er sighed and said, “Well… I’m at the police station.”

“Huh? The police station?” Luo Yichen thought he had misheard.

Qu Ling’er lowered her head and said softly, “Yes. I beat someone up yesterday. That person was hospitalized and called the police; they asked me to make a statement. But before it was finished, the police officers left. They said that they wanted to find out about that person’s injuries first. But it had been a few hours—they were still not back and they would not let me go either. They just made me wait in the interrogation room.”

Luo Yichen’s face darkened. He held in his anger and asked, “Which police station?”

Qu Ling’er replied, “Dongcheng New District police station.”

“Wait for me.” Luo Yichen said and ended the call. Luo Xiao was really something! Not only did he try to rape the lass, he shamelessly went to the police and played the victim—the ultimate scum of scums! It was not convenient for him to show up and deal with Luo Xiao, but he knew who could deal with him!

Twenty minutes later, Luo Xiao’s wife went to Dongcheng New District police station and withdrew the case. She also wrapped up the paperwork on behalf of Luo Xiao after the police station called Luo Xiao to verify that his wife could represent him.

Qu Ling’er was released. She met Luo Xiao’s wife as she was leaving the police station.
