Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 575

Now, the policeman who came over to hit on Ariah didn't know what to say.

Smiling, Ariah looked at him. "How can I help you?"

Scratching his head, the man answered, "Nothing much. We saw you coming in with David, so we wanted to know what's going on."

Although Ariah already knew what he was going to ask, she still asked him, "What do you want to know?"

Since it was going to be a long night, she thought it would be fun to tease these guys for a bit.

"We want to know whether you are David's girlfriend, so we'll know how to greet you when we meet next time."

"I guess you guys got the wrong idea. I'm not related to David at all."

"Really?" The policeman's eyes lit up. "Well, pretty girl, can you give me your number, then? WhatsApp will do too."

"Well, instead of WhatsApp, I'll give you my number."

Communication software like WhatsApp was more private. She usually would not share her account with strangers.

"Okay, that will do too."

Right when Ariah was about to take out her phone, David interrupted them. "What are you doing, kid?"

The policeman smiled silly, "Hey, David, I am asking this pretty girl for her phone number..."

"What number do you mean?!" David hit him. "Who are you calling a pretty girl? Pay some respect!"

How dare those fools go around and flirt with any girls they saw?

They had totally no idea who they were flirting with!

"Ah..." Confusion washed over the policeman's face. "I... I've already asked this pretty... I mean this young lady here, and she said that she is not in a relationship with you, right?"

Rolling his eyes, David scolded, "Of course she's not in a relationship with me. I'm not that blessed! This is Captain Hudson's wife. Now pay some respect to her!"

Eyes widened, the policeman looked as if he just saw a ghost. He was shocked to his core.

Captain Hudson's wife?

He... he just flirted with his boss's wife! He was going to be doomed!

The policeman looked like he was about to cry. "Oh no, I'm sorry..."

Amused, Ariah laughed. "It's alright. I don't mind giving you my number. Come on, tell me your number, and I'll call you..."

The policeman no longer dared to ask for her number. Upon hearing Ariah's words, he was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he ran away.

"Eh?" Ariah was confused. "Why did he run away?" David smiled awkwardly. "Ariah, if captain found out that the boys flirted with you, he will be angry." Of course he would run. Otherwise, he would be six feet under.

Ariah's face was clouded with disappointment. "Looks like my hopes of infiltrating the police station are in vain."

"What?" David was slightly surprised.

"What a pity. That policeman just now was interested in me. I could have made him my inside man to keep an eye on Jimmy. He could report everything about Jimmy to me." After saying that, Ariah glared at David. "It's all your fault."

David was speechless.

Feeling absurd, David remarked, "Ariah, that's quite a cunning act."

He was wondering why Ariah would offer to give her number to another guy. So, that was what she had in mind.

Worried that Ariah would be worn out, David told her to go to Jimmy's office to get some rest. However, Ariah had trouble falling asleep. All she wanted to know was when would Jimmy be back.

However, she knew in her heart that it would not be that easy to capture Kevin this time.

"David, do you know whether Jimmy and his men had targeted a specific location this time?" Pondering for a moment, Ariah asked, "Do they know where is Kevin's hideout?"

David analyzed, "On the day when we captured Kevin, we installed a tracker in his body. So, Captain Hudson and his men are currently tracking him down. If all goes well, we can find him by dawn."

"So you guys have a hidden card up your sleeve."

Only then did Ariah relax.

Smiling, David said, "Captain Hudson was the one who came up with the idea. He was the one who proposed to implant a tracker in Kevin's body just in case he escaped."

Jimmy was an alert man. He's always serious whenever it came to such matters.

"Actually, Captain Hudson was quite concerned." Pondering for a moment, David elaborated, "Years ago, everybody thought that Kevin was dead, but now, he suddenly showed up alive. What's more, we caught him so easily. Captain didn't believe that things would simply end here. He was afraid that things would go wrong, so he decided to implant a tracker in Kevin's body."

This was also something that Ariah had been thinking about the entire time. If Kevin was that great, why did he let them catch him so easily?

Back then, Ariah thought that the police were able to capture Kevin through luck.

However, how did Kevin bribe Ricco into releasing him?

Ariah could remember the expression on Ricco's face when he talked to her about Kevin. It was obvious he hated him. He sounded like he was dying to kill Kevin with his own hands...

Why did he release him now?

Having trouble figuring out the reason, Ariah felt a headache creeping up on her.

David and Ben had been busy the whole time, so they could not pay much attention to Ariah. Sitting quietly in the corner, Ariah waited for Jimmy's return. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Time went by and the day gradually grew brighter.

Suddenly, someone shouted,"David, Captain is

back!"

Ariah was about to fall asleep. Upon hearing that, she woke up immediately. She was the first one to rush outside the door, startling David and Ben.

They followed after her, and as soon as they went out, they saw Jimmy getting out of the car, donning a clean black jacket. He had chiseled features, and his eyes were fierce and intimidating.

Chin tainted with some blood, he looked like a mysterious person, walking out of the morning mist.

He oozed a daunting aura.

The people who came out went speechless for a moment. They just stood there and watched him.

As soon as Jimmy noticed the petite figure among the men, his gaze changed and gradually turned soft and warm.

Looking at Ariah walking towards him, Jimmy strode up to her with a frown on his face. He pulled her by the wrist and led her into the police station, "Can you please take care of your health?"

She was standing outside on such a cold day, wearing only a thin sweater. Was she not afraid of being frozen to death?

Grabbing his ice-cold hand, Ariah felt her heart aching. "Let's go to your office quickly. It's warmer, and the heater is already turned on."

They were in the hall. Although it was slightly warmer than outside, his office was definitely better.

Lips curling up into a smile, Jimmy comforted, "I'm not cold."

Although he claimed that he was not cold, she could feel his frozen hands.

Ariah glared at him.

After glancing at her a few times, Jimmy finally gave in. Ariah dragged him towards the office and said as she walked past David, "David, go get a glass of warm water."

David froze for a moment before answering. "Okay."

Then, Ariah and Jimmy went into the office.

Standing behind them, the policemen were stunned.

Were their eyes playing tricks on them? Was he the expressionless, ruthless, and stern- looking Captain Hudson they knew?

He changed into another person so fast! Last second, he was still cold as usual. After seeing Ariah, even his eyes suddenly turned so warm."

All of them were astonished by his change of attitude!

In the office.

David and Ben went back to work. David went to get water, while Ben went to look for Director Sherlock.

Very soon, Director Sherlock rushed over.

"How was it? Did you find him?"

After taking a sip of his water, Jimmy said, "Yes."

Upon hearing that, David and Ben were elated. However, Director Sherlock was taken aback. "You found him that easily?"
