I Became the Demon King of Lust Chapter 306: Coffee date (1)

The last engagent that I had was with soone that I hadn't t in a long ti.

In fact, it had been a while since she had even ssaged .

It was as if she had completely disappeared, but I had been too busy to rember her in the first place.

It was the police detective Ling Yue.

I had wanted to get her on my side for the police connections, but there had been too many things that happened that I completely forgot to check in on her.

But now that she was contacting , I wouldn't let this opportunity go.

So I went to the eting place that she had set.

It was a cafe that wasn't that far from where I lived.

Since she knew where I lived, it wasn't strange that she would pick a place that was nearby.

When I ca in, I found that Ling Yue was already waiting for .

But the mont that I saw her, I couldn't help being surprised.

That was because unlike all the other tis that I had seen her before, she looked completely different this ti.

Instead of having the sleek look that she normally had, she was dressed…like a grandma.

There was no style at all with her clothes and it was all too baggy to show her figure. It was as if she had just slapped on whatever was available and just ca out without a single care.

But the most surprising thing was the look on her face.

She had dark circles under her eyes that seed like she was completely exhausted.

Adding in the fact that she was dipping forward, almost as if she was about to fall asleep at any mont, it was clear that she wasn't in good condition.

I couldn't imagine what had happened that would cause her to be like this.

I slowly walked over and even then, she didn't seem to react to .

It really seed like she was about to faint at any mont like this.

Only when I was right beside the table did she slowly turn to look at .

She just stared at with those tired eyes as if she didn't recognize , but then her eyes suddenly lit up and she almost jumped out of the booth that she was sitting in.

She cald herself down, but she looked much more awake from the shock at the very least.

When she cald down, she said, "You're here. Co and sit down, we have a lot to catch up on."

I gave a nod before sitting down in the booth in front of her.

After sitting down, I looked at her with a worried look and asked, "Are you alright? If you're tired, you don't have to push yourself to co and see ."

Ling Yue shook her head and said, "It's fine, it's fine. It's just that I had to pull a double shift yesterday to get off work today. But it doesn't matter since it's business as usual for now."

I couldn't help revealing a worried and confused look when I heard this.

I slowly asked, "Is everything going alright at work? Why are you so busy now?"

Ling Yue revealed a bitter smile when she heard this before saying with a sigh, "Since that case, they've been coming down on us for not being able to solve it."

As for what the case that she ntioned was, it was the one that involved .

It was about the murder of Wang Bing's group of bullies.

That was the one case that had been 'solved', but the solution was not one that anyone was happy with.

After a long silence, Ling Yue said, "The chief was pushed out of his position and was reassigned to a remote police station. Since I was the one that remained, they put soone else in the chief's place who would make it as hard as possible for so that I would quit."

I looked at her with a look of sympathy, not because I was the one that had caused this, but because she was suffering because of this.

I patted her on the hand and Ling Yue looked up at with a smile before saying, "Don't worry, it's fine. This is what I've been wanting to do since I was young, so I won't let this little problem get in the way. As long as I work hard, it'll eventually pass."

I patted her hand again, but there was sothing that I had to ask.

"What about your partner? Isn't he able to help you?"

When she heard this, the look on Ling Yue's face turned ugly.

She gave a snort before saying, "Him? I don't even want to talk about that guy."

I couldn't help raising a brow and revealing a confused look when I heard this.

As far as I could tell, they should have been close…

So why was she suddenly saying this about him?

Seeing the confused look on my face, Ling Yue hesitated a bit before saying, "He took so kind of plea deal and transferred out of our station. I have no idea where he went, but from ti to ti, he's been ssaging to…"

Her voice trailed off, but the way that she looked at made it clear that this matter involved .

With a bitter laugh, I said, "He wants you to use as a scapegoat, doesn't he?"

Ling Yue bit her lip, but she gave a slow nod in the end without saying anything.

I gave another bitter laugh when I heard this, but I also didn't say anything.

Seeing the look on my face, it was Ling Yue's turn to pat my hand and say, "Don't worry, I know that you were nothing more than the victim. I'm not soone that will back down just because of a little hazing like this, so I won't use you as a scapegoat."

I looked at her with a grateful look when I heard this.
