Ruthless Host and Her Little Darling Quick Transmigration

Chapter 250 Apocalypse 15

The police came again that night because someone else had died, and they didn't stay overnight.

Even Qin Baobao couldn't help but wonder if she was incompatible with the people here.

After all, the matter was too unusual.

Just now, the door to the left neighbor's house was slammed open, and the male homeowner was eaten. The right neighbor immediately followed suit, and two more people died. The deaths were even more gruesome; the people were eaten down to skeletons, and even their internal organs were not spared.

The woman saw her child's body and was so horrified that she went insane, talking to herself. The man was not home and cannot be contacted. Even the most hard-hearted person would feel unbearable pain upon witnessing that scene.

Qin Baobao was questioned again.

The implication was clear: they asked her where she had been these past two days and if there were any witnesses. It was practically like pointing a finger at her and saying, "We suspect you are the murderer; please come with us."

Qin Baobao didn't understand who gave them this perception, misleading them into pointing the finger at themselves as the culprit.

Qin Baobao's response was very direct.

"I am not the murderer! Whether you believe it or not, I was just on vacation and I am very distressed by this kind of thing."

With modern technology so advanced, Qin Baobao appears to be a delicate, pampered, and incredibly wealthy young lady. Whether she harbors any hidden schemes is anyone's guess. Moreover, who would believe that someone so dignified living in such a dilapidated environment has no ulterior motives?

"You killed someone and you're still so arrogant? Do you think the law won't convict you?" The police officer next to her looked indignant. If she didn't know better, Qin Baobao would have thought she was some kind of vicious criminal.

"No, what did I do that makes you so certain I've committed a crime?" Qin Baobao looked like a curious child, seeking answers and explanations.

Such an expression, in the eyes of the person opposite, is nothing short of a provocation.

The officer, who had been so aggressive just moments before, suddenly stood up as if he was about to attack someone. Luckily, someone nearby intervened and immediately pulled him back.

"Who are you trying to fool with your feigned innocence? If it's not..."

"Meng Ye!"

"Go back and write a 5000-word self-criticism, and hand it in to me tomorrow."

The young officer looked at his captain in disbelief, then at the girl across the stone table, then his eyes widened, and he turned away.

"You..." Are you attracted to her face?

"You're being reckless. If you can't control your emotions, then go outside." He was interrupted as soon as he started to speak, and he couldn't finish his sentence.

The young police officer, holding his breath, reluctantly sat on the stone bench.

Hmph, you want me to leave? I'm not leaving! I want to see how you investigate cases!

"I'm sorry, there's been a lot going on at the police station lately, and everyone's been quite stressed. I apologize for Xiao Meng's behavior just now."

"It's okay, I understand."

For three consecutive days, Qin Baobao was frequently visited by the police, and even when she went out, she was followed by a tail, as if she were a major suspect.

Qin Baobao didn't care, but the way people around her started to look at her strangely. When they met her outside, they would instinctively keep their distance and look at her with a mixture of suspicion and curiosity. Those wary, inquisitive, disgusted, and malicious gazes were something only those who experienced them truly understood.

One of the people following them was Officer Meng, who deliberately wore a police uniform, his youthful and righteous appearance easily winning people over. Such a person, following at a distance that was neither too close nor too far, and glancing at them with disdain every now and then, was bound to make those around him suspicious.

This has really affected my normal life.

Left with no other option, she requested to see the police chief. Fortunately, Officer Meng wasn't around, and the matter proceeded smoothly.

When the police came to her door again, Qin Baobao took out the large Buddha statue behind her, hoping that the police could protect her and save her some trouble.

“My father is Mu Cangxuan. I’m not here for tourism, but on a mission. As for the details of the mission, I’m sorry, I can’t disclose that. I plan to leave here in a while…” Qin Baobao looked at the bureau chief opposite her, her meaning clear: You’ve hindered my mission.

"If you really need to verify, I can make a phone call now." As for who to call, the implication is quite clear.

Under the surprised gazes of everyone, Qin Baobao turned on her personal terminal.

They were probably not too busy, because they answered the phone almost immediately.

A two-dimensional image of Mu Cangxuan appeared before them, and the two policemen's previously suspicious gazes suddenly changed, becoming respectful and cautious. They immediately stood up from their seats and gave a military salute.

"Hello, Chief."

Mu Cangxuan was surprised for a moment, then returned the salute and looked at Qin Baobao.

"My dear daughter, it's been so long since we last contacted each other, have you missed your dad?" She looked at me with a hint of a doting daughter's expression, and sure enough, she couldn't resist my smugness.

Qin Baobao was speechless for a moment.

I never expected you to be such a celestial lord, always so quick to offer your opinions on how to take advantage of others, without any restraint whatsoever.

Qin Baobao was about to retort, how could the two of them be father and daughter? But upon closer reflection, the original owner of this body should indeed call the person opposite her "Dad," that was an undeniable fact. Moreover, she currently needed his help, so she couldn't be too rude to her father.

Being bullied like that would upset anyone, especially since the person on the other end wouldn't stop. Qin Baobao felt a surge of anger welling up inside, tormented by the conflicting emotions, and the resentment in her chest wouldn't dissipate.

"My dear daughter looks thinner again, it really breaks my heart." He looked like a loving father.

Qin Baobao just wants to say one thing: pretentious.

"I miss you so much too. It's been so long since I've seen you. How is my beautiful mother? Is she eating and sleeping well? It's so dangerous out there, it's time to go back. Mom must miss me terribly too." Oh well, my identity is already set, saving face doesn't matter. What matters is the pent-up frustration in my heart. My cheapskate dad can go somewhere cool and stay away.

Sure enough, as soon as Qin Baobao finished speaking, Mu Cangxuan's expression visibly darkened, his lips curled up, and he even gritted his teeth.

Qin Baobao suddenly felt better and thought the sun was shining brightly and the weather was fine. She even thought she could eat two bowls of spicy crayfish later.

Strange, I've been craving spicy food lately.

"I don't think you want to! The front door is welded shut, preventing any germs from entering the house."

Qin Baobao put aside her distracting thoughts and put on a regretful expression.

"Alright then! Parents are true love, children are an accident. I understand, but who am I but that accident?"

Isn't it just that she doesn't want me to be a third wheel? She's definitely love-struck; no matter how noble her position, it can't save her.

The bureau chief and police officers standing nearby were dumbfounded. Was this the calm, composed, and wise leader they saw on TV?

He's so approachable in private.

He gets furious when he argues or chats with his daughter.

It's no different from my daily life.

The police officer immediately felt closer to the leader, as if they were all ordinary people.

Like Old Wang next door, there's a sense of familiarity and warmth, yet also a touch of distance.
