Her Bombardment of Calls

"This gang is extremely careful. We have to stick to the plan. If we mess up tonight, all our hard work will be for nothing."I nodded again and again with a sincere look of apology before forcing myself to focus and return to surveillance.But only a few minutes later, the phone suddenly started ringing again.I stared at my phone in horror.For a moment, I almost thought I was imagining things.I regretted answering Lilianna's first call. I regretted even bringing my phone on the operation.That ringtone was driving me crazy.Derek pulled out his phone and glanced at it. "It's mine. Some unknown number is calling. Don't worry. Let's keep going."There were three suspects in the gang we were watching.Team Alpha and Beta were responsible for taking down the two henchmen, while our Team Charlie was supposed to capture the leader.Then the phone started ringing again, startling me so badly that Lilianna's face instantly popped into my mind."Damn! Who the hell is this?" Derek said angri

Richard pushed his glasses up and looked at me with a faint smile, as if he knew everything."Henry, come to my office for a moment."After saying that, he walked past me without even looking back. I was left standing there, completely frozen.Derek patted my shoulder and sighed."Henry, just tell the truth. We still have a chance to catch him. Don't blame yourself too much. But when you get home, you really need to talk to your mom. I don't know how she got my number. And I hope she won't call you during an operation unless it's something truly urgent."I nodded repeatedly.Lilianna probably went through my phone and saved Derek's number.I thanked Derek and walked toward Richard's office with a heavy heart. I felt terrible.If it weren't for Lilianna's phone call, we definitely would have caught that man.I was worried that after escaping, he might commit another crime alone. The more I thought about it, the more anxious I became. I grabbed the edge of my jacket so tightly that my kn

"I'll go home, but only if you agree to go on a blind date."I suddenly stopped what I was doing. I didn't say what I originally wanted to say. Instead, my face darkened as I replied, "Then you can sleep here tonight.""He's unbelievable! He actually wants his own mother to sleep on the streets. I worked so hard to raise you. You're already 30 years old. If you still don't find a wife, what are you going to do in the future? If you don't have a wife and children, who will take care of you when you're old? Do you want to end up being mistreated by nursing home workers?"My voice turned cold. "Who said having children means you won't be mistreated by caregivers? When I get old, you don't have to worry about me. If you think being single makes you look bad, you can move out too. Maybe you'll feel better that way."Lilianna suddenly stood up, grabbed my collar, and screamed while crying."I'm just worried about your future! Is that wrong? You're trying to kick me out, aren't you? You ungra

"The police station is fine too! My husband and I used to date out in the fields!"Olivia was stunned by my words.She stared at me in shock. "Officer Taverner, what are you talking about?""You really don't remember?" I suddenly raised my voice."You're the owner of Serenity Springs. When I arrested you last year, you told me that if I let you go, you'd make it up to me in another way and make sure I was satisfied. Do you remember now?"As I spoke, I stepped closer until she was backed against the glass door. The shock on her face quickly turned into fear.Everyone in the lobby was stunned.Olivia's lips began to tremble."You... You've got the wrong person... I'm not..."More than angry, I felt hurt. But I still forced myself not to cry.Lilianna, who always claimed she wanted the best for me, had actually found someone like this for me.Olivia suddenly shouted. "I'm going to sue you for defamation!"I had planned to let her go, but she just had to make trouble.I gave her a cold gla
