Yusuf Zuck didn’t even think about it, he just jumped out of the car.

The guy was skilled and bold, and he happened to be looking for a chance to impress the beautiful female boss, so when the criminal showed up, it was just what he wanted.

With a screech, just as he leapt from the car, the motorcycle that had been zipping through the traffic suddenly came to a sharp halt, missing him by less than half a meter.

“Are you freaking trying to get yourself killed?” A woman’s voice came from inside the black helmet, and Yusuf was momentarily taken aback.

How come it was a woman?

“I’m freaking not trying to get myself killed, you get down here!” Yusuf instinctively reached for the woman’s hand.

“Yusuf, come back, come back.” Suddenly, the car window rolled down, and Ruth Wilcox poked her head out with an embarrassed look and said, “It’s not her, the person last night was a man…”

Yusuf’s hand stopped mid-air, his facial expression indescribably priceless.

The female motorcyclist, infuriated, had her chest heaving dramatically and cursed, “Are you freaking sick?

Touch me and see what happens?”

“Sorry, sorry, we didn’t mean to do it.” Ruth kept apologizing profusely.

“Miss, I’m sorry.

Yesterday we encountered a bike gang here, they stole our wallet, and we thought it was another bike gang.

Sorry, sorry, miss, I hope you’ll forgive my impudence.”

“You’re sick!” The woman muttered under her breath, then rode off on her bike, while Yusuf also sat back down in the car and quickly geared up to move on.

The light up ahead turned green, and many cars were honking from behind.

Ruth didn’t speak, and Yusuf, who was driving, also kept silent.

The two of them, unexpectedly, didn’t discuss the just-occurred event, and the car was exceptionally quiet for a time.

“Why aren’t you talking?

I thought you would blame me!” After quite a while, and taking a couple of turns, Ruth spoke softly, sticking out her tongue.

Yusuf didn’t reply but kept driving following the car’s navigation system.

Ruth was a bit stunned.

So Yusuf was actually mad.

“It’s not my fault, I thought it was the person from last night.” She explained in a soft voice, then went silent again.

“Ms.

Wilcox…

do I get my wages docked if I respond to you?” Yusuf whispered after seeing Ruth wasn’t saying anything.

“What?

You’re not talking to me because you’re afraid of getting your wages docked?” Hearing Yusuf’s words, Ruth blew up.

Yusuf wasn’t speaking to her because he was afraid of losing his wages?

“You told me not to talk earlier, so I got a bit scared.

Actually, that incident just now wasn’t a big deal.

Why would I blame you?

You’re a woman, and you had such a scare last night, so seeing a similar situation, you definitely had a knee-jerk reaction.

It’s just a shame it wasn’t that son of a gun; otherwise, I would have crippled him!” Yusuf then opened up.

“As long as you don’t keep spitting out words left and right, who would dock your wages?” Ruth replied indignantly.

“Heh, then that’s fine.” Yusuf chuckled and said.

Ruth took a deep breath.

To be honest, she had never come across someone like Yusuf.

Sometimes he was absurdly comical, but sometimes his sense of justice made her respect him even more.

Perhaps it was because of Yusuf’s sense of justice that even when he went overboard with his words, she was strict with him outwardly but wasn’t truly mad at him.

Just like earlier, when he heard that the motorcyclist might be last night’s attacker, he didn’t think twice before jumping out, not even considering the danger.

That was something that touched her deeply.

That’s right, it was a kind of deep emotion, a feeling she couldn’t quite describe; when he leaped out without hesitation, she couldn’t help but look up to the constantly swearing Yusuf.

Yusuf, who was carefree and spontaneous like a big kid, was also a real man, at least someone who made her feel secure.

“Yusuf, can you tell me how you found the bomb so quickly yesterday?

I’m really curious.” Her temper had cooled down, and she also recalled yesterday’s incident, which Yusuf had indeed resolved by finding the bomb!

“Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?” Yusuf countered.

“Stop spouting nonsense and don’t be gross!” Ruth Wilcox frowned.

“Okay, okay, I’m blabbering again.

Actually, I used to enjoy reading books—especially those on military subjects.

I’ve also read about bombs and how to accurately locate one planted by the enemy, and how to calmly analyze the bomber’s psychology before they plant the bomb.

I’ve read all those books, and it occurred to me that the person planting a bomb wouldn’t use their ID to check into a room for that purpose.

Even if they did check in and plant a bomb, it wouldn’t hurt anyone else if it exploded, right?

So, the most likely place would be somewhere with a dense crowd, and where in our company is that?” Yusuf Zuck was purely talking nonsense, making up a reason to fool the boss.

“The second, third, and fourth floors!” Ruth Wilcox replied.

“Right, the second, third, and fourth floors, especially the Chinese restaurant on the third floor.

It’s open to the public, and many people come to eat lunch there.

So, I went to the second floor first, and after not finding anything suspicious, I ran up to the third floor.

I was planning to look carefully there, but then my eyes swept over and saw a bag under a table.

One look, and I just knew for sure it was a bomb.”

“I didn’t realize you were so capable.

But you like reading military books so much—does your family have someone in the army?” Ruth Wilcox asked with a smile.

“I admire soldiers; I even thought about joining the army before, but then because of…

well, never mind, I won’t go into it!” Yusuf Zuck shook his head and didn’t continue.

There was no need to talk about his family affairs with outsiders.

Ruth Wilcox didn’t press on.

“We’ve arrived at Chaoyang police station.

Do you need me to come in with you?” A moment later, Yusuf Zuck parked the car outside the police station.

“Mhm.” Ruth Wilcox nodded lightly with a hum.

Yusuf Zuck got out of the car and helped Ruth Wilcox open the car door with a swagger.

“There’s no need for you to open the door for me, and don’t do it again in the future.

Also, go back to the company this afternoon and change your clothes.

Why are you still wearing security guard pants?” Ruth Wilcox glanced at Yusuf Zuck’s pants.

This guy was actually wearing security guard pants, and although he had a jacket on top, it was very old and had faded from washing.

“What’s wrong with security guard uniforms?

I’m a guard, I’m proud, I’m glorious!” Yusuf Zuck boasted arrogantly.

Ruth Wilcox laughed at his antics, but also murmured, “Where have I heard that before…”

“Spring Festival Gala, it was in a comedy sketch.

Didn’t you watch it?

‘I’m a guard, I’m proud, I’m glorious!'” Yusuf Zuck laughed heartily.

“Ah, I remember now.

But you should still change—it looks kinda tacky, really tacky…” Ruth Wilcox said, holding back her laughter, and then strode toward the police station.

Yusuf Zuck just pursed his lips.

When he came to the capital city, he hadn’t brought many sets of clothes with him.

He wanted to wear a suit and tie too, but that would require having spare money.

Since Ruth Wilcox had arranged a time with the officer taking her statement, after they entered the police station, Yusuf Zuck was instructed to wait in the hallway while Ruth Wilcox went in alone to give her statement.

The police had to know all the details from last night to crack the case.

A full ninety minutes passed before Ruth Wilcox came out.

“Where to now?

Back to the company?” After getting back in the car, Yusuf Zuck glanced at Ruth Wilcox in the rearview mirror.

To be honest, he was a bit hesitant to look at her—not out of fear, but because he was afraid he’d commit a crime with telekinesis.

She was so beautiful that just looking at her face gave him an urge to pin her down, as well as an impulse to see through her with telekinesis.

But he didn’t act on it, the more he looked, the more he wanted to commit a crime.

“Mhm, there’s no need to go back to the company yet.

Come shopping with me.

You’ll be staying over tonight, so you should also prepare a set of changeable shoes.”

“Isn’t that unnecessary?

I have stuff in my dorm.” Yusuf Zuck started the car, ready to go back to the company.

“You can’t touch your things.

Tomorrow, find some time to go to the company and just take two sets of clothes to change into.

Also, if the other colleagues ask you where you live, you can’t tell them you’re staying at my place, okay?”

“Then what should I say about where I’m staying?” Yusuf Zuck was a bit speechless.

They were clearly going to be living together, and yet she still didn’t want to go public?

“Say whatever you want, just don’t say you’re living at my house,” Ruth Wilcox sounded hurried.
