“No, I won’t,” Wu Shanshan pinched Huang Xiaolong’s waist flesh. “I’m not in a good mood.”
“Eh… what’s wrong now?” Huang Xiaolong asked.
“I have been suspended!” Wu Shanshan mumbled.
“Oh… this matter, you’re blaming me again, aren’t you?” Huang Xiaolong looked helpless.
“Pfft—” Wu Shanshan laughed. “Actually, I can’t really blame you, last time it was my impulsiveness, I arrested the wrong person…yeah, that pretty college student, is she really your wife?”
“Yes, she is.” Huang Xiaolong responded without dodging the question.
In his worldview, a powerful man should have many, many wives.
“Yeh, whatever- I don’t care.” Wu Shanshan raised an eyebrow very spiritedly, “I don’t care who she is to you. As long as she’s someone I, Wu Shanshan like, I will fight for! I do not believe I would lose to her! I believe that she is not so outstanding that I don’t even have the right to compete with her!”
Fat Wu, such a temper!
“Well, actually, the thing last time was just a fuse. Our chief has long had a bone to pick with me…l’ve enforced the law violently a few times…” Wu Shanshan said, looking somewhat embarrassed. “Anyway, I knew he was going to deal with me sooner or later…”
“Fat Wu, how about this, I use some connections to get you reinstated?” Huang Xiaolong thought to himself, this kind of thing, going to Brother Xu, or Sister Jing, should be doable.
“You?” Wu Shanshan looked at him with disbelief. “You have that kind of power? Forget it, I’d better rely on myself.”
“Rely on yourself?” Huang Xiaolong was startled.
“Yes! I am going to make a remarkable contribution!” Wu Shanshan’s eyes sparkled, she seemed eager to make a move.
“Fat Wu, what are you thinking?” Huang Xiaolong wondered.
“After dinner, you go home. I’m not going to accompany you. I am going to make a trip to the Dinosaur Park in Dashanpu.” Wu Shanshan said seriously.
“Huh? Dinosaur Park?” Huang Xiaolong was puzzled. “You want to see the dinosaurs in the middle of the night?”
“Someone made an appointment with me tonight.” Wu Shanshan’s eyes became sharp.
“Who has an appointment with you?” Huang Xiaolong grew more and more curious.
“A man, the owner of the Dinosaur Park.” Wu Shanshan gritted her teeth.
“You’re going to date a man tonight?” Huang Xiaolong was somewhat unhappy.
“Fat Wu, do you believe that I will spank you, like the last time?”
“You’re not allowed to hit! It still hurts! You hit so hard!” Wu Shanshan was startled. “Cut it out, I’m not some flighty woman you can just push around, what do you take me for? How dare you!”
“Then why are you going to date a man?” Huang Xiaolong insisted, “Confess honestly, or you’re going to get it!”
“It won’t hurt to tell you the truth. There is a haunted house in the Dinosaur
Park, which is the largest haunted house in our Binhai. I plan to take a look.” Wu Shanshan lowered her voice. “Several cases of sexual assaults on women are related to this haunted house.”
“How can these be related?” Huang Xiaolong was astonished. “How can a haunted house have anything to do with sexual assault cases?”
“Last month, our sub-bureau received several reports…Some women were sexually assaulted by men in the haunted house, we suspect that it is the owner of the Dinosaur Park who did it. However, we couldn’t find any evidence, and the women who reported the crime were also dazed and unable to provide effective evidence. According to their description, it seems a bit like drug-induced rape, but there were no drug traces found in their bodies… This time, I decided to get deep into tiger’s den!”
“Fat Wu, are you going to use yourself as bait?” Huang Xiaolong finally understood.
“Exactly! If you don’t enter the tiger’s den, you can’t catch its cub! Tonight, I’m going to catch the beast myself! I’m going to make a contribution to cover my past mistakes! I want to be reinstated!” Wu Shanshan waved her fists excitedly.
After hearing Wu Shanshan’s words, Huang Xiaolong also became anxious.
“Fat Wu, it’s too dangerous for you to do this. Forget it, I’ll come with you tonight.” Huang Xiaolong made a quick decision.
No matter what, he wouldn’t let his in-house wife-to-be take risks.
Especially with those who commit sexual assault.
Although Wu Shanshan is quite fierce, strictly speaking, she’s not a cop anymore. Going in alone, it’s more dangerous than not.
“You?” Wu Shanshan looked at Huang Xiaolong. “Are you coming with me?”
“Yes, I need to protect you. Can’t let you get hurt.” Huang Xiaolong replied matter-of-factly. “Also, sexual assault is really disgusting, it’s too repulsive. In our mountains, the most detested is the sexual offenders. Why force women? Women should be cherished, you can’t force women to do such a thing. That kind of thing, both sides must be willing, then it would be fun. Just like, you and I have mutual affection, doing that kind of thing is a natural progression, it can let our love spark different flames…”
“Stop!” Wu Shanshan was both angry and amused, her cheek flushed with shyness. “How did it get to us? Besides, who said they wanted to do anything with you? Don’t even think about it, unless you can move me a few more times… And, in the interrogation room last time, wasn’t I almost…forced by you…”
At this moment, recalling what happened in the interrogation room did not feel like a nightmare to Wu Shanshan, instead, it felt quite sweet.
“Alright! Accompany me tonight. You spend all your time talking big, don’t get scared when it matters.” Wu Shanshan said again. “However, we might have to go to a haunted house, hehe, are you scared?”
“Huh? Fat Wu, what am I afraid of?” Huang Xiaolong was stunned.
“Afraid of ghosts of course.” Wu Shanshan said while looking at Huang Xiaolong with amusement. “Are you scared or not? I surely am not. I’m really brave.”
“I’m scared of ghosts?” Huang Xiaolong looked at Wu Shanshan with a horrifying glance. “Fat Wu, it seems you don’t understand me very well, it’s always been the ghosts that are scared of me, I wouldn’t be scared of any ghost! And what’s more, there’s probably no real ghosts in the haunted house, they’re all fake.’
Huang Xiaolong almost laughed out loud.
What a joke, the sole ghost controller of the world, the only one in this world, would be afraid of ghosts?
“Fat Wu! I’m getting excited! Hehehe!” Huang Xiaolong said excitedly.
“Alright, we’ll go together tonight, don’t talk big now and then chicken out when the time comes.” Wu Shanshan laughed. Immediately, she became serious again. “This is a pervert’s serial rape case, the criminal is extremely cunning, with only 4 women reporting so far…how many more victims are there, who due to face-saving or threats did not dare to report? I, Wu Shanshan, swear to eradicate this cancerous growth! To seek justice for the victimized women! As long as I can crack this case, I will have done a great deed and I can get reinstated smoothly!”
