98: Chapter 98 Trouble 98: Chapter 98 Trouble Jas Brown didn’t pay attention to Helen Wilson and headed straight for the entrance of the neighborhood.
“Wait!” Helen Wilson suddenly turned around and called out to Jas Brown.
Jas Brown stopped walking and turned around, speaking cautiously, “Officer Wilson, what now?”
Helen Wilson approached Jas Brown, stared into his eyes with knitted brows, and said, “Where were you at nine o’clock this morning?”
“At work, of course.
I was with my boss and the director, and they can all vouch for .
Whatever case you have, I have an alibi.
Don’t try to pin this on .”
Helen Wilson waved her hand dismissively and said, “It’s not about any case, never mind, I won’t talk to you about it.” Then she turned around and walked away again.
Jas Brown felt sowhat amused.
Officer Helen Wilson had caught a criminal and made an achievent, yet she still seed distracted.
Just as he was about to enter the neighborhood, Helen Wilson once again called out to him, which really left Jas Brown speechless.
He turned around and said, “Look, Officer Wilson, what do you really want?”
Helen Wilson hesitated, then said, “Are you free tonight?”
“I do have ti, but what is it you want, Officer Wilson?” Jas Brown asked, clearly puzzled.
Helen Wilson said, “Then have dinner with tonight.”
Jas Brown imdiately widened his eyes, “Officer Wilson, are you asking on a date?”
Helen Wilson’s eyes darted sharply, as she snapped, “Nonsense.
What eting would I have with you?
I just feel a bit stifled and wanted to talk to soone.”
Jas Brown patted his chest, looking relieved, “You really scared .
I thought you were trying to pursue .”
The expression on Jas Brown’s face, the words he spoke, nearly infuriated Helen Wilson to the point of spitting blood.
She angrily said, “What do you an by that?
Am I not good enough for you?”
Jas Brown chuckled sheepishly, “No, no, I didn’t an that at all.
Officer Wilson, you are so beautiful, absolutely enchanting.
How could you not be good enough for ?
It’s I who am not worthy of you.”
Helen Wilson looked at Jas Brown’s insincere expression and felt annoyed.
After all, she was a beautiful woman with a good job, and there were many n pursuing her.
If she asked any of them out to dinner, they would surely accept with excitent.
Unlike Jas Brown, who acted as if it were such an inconvenience.
It was utterly infuriating.
“Are you going or not?” Helen Wilson demanded with a stern gaze.
“I’ll go…
but let’s make it clear, Officer Wilson, we are only going to eat, no drinking.”
“Why no drinking?” Helen Wilson fixed her gaze onto Jas Brown.
Jas Brown laughed nervously and said, “Officer Wilson, as you know, people tend to do impulsive things when they drink.”
Helen Wilson snorted, “At least you’re self-aware,” giving Jas Brown a dismissive glance.
Jas Brown smiled wryly and added, “I have confidence in myself—I just fear that you, Officer Wilson, might drink a bit too much and then…
heh heh…”
“What did you say?” Helen Wilson’s anger, which had just settled, was instantly reignited, and she felt an urge to kick this guy to the ground.
“Oh, nothing, nothing.
I also believe in Officer Wilson’s integrity.
You definitely wouldn’t do that sort of thing.”
Helen Wilson almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
That look on his face clearly showed he didn’t believe her at all.
Gritting her teeth, she said, “You really think too highly of yourself.”
“Yes, yes, I may be popular with the girls, but I know that Officer Wilson has absolutely no interest in .”
“Are you going or not?” Helen Wilson shouted.
“I’ll go!
I’ll go!” Jas Brown hastily agreed, like a henpecked husband.
“Hmph!” Helen Wilson snorted coldly and walked away.
The two arrived at a modestly sized restaurant with a nice environnt and a pleasant private room that was quite quiet.
“Order whatever you want,” Helen Wilson said harshly, tossing the nu to Jas Brown.
Jas Brown replied cautiously, “So I should really order now?”
“Nonsense, just order if I tell you to,” Helen Wilson snapped back, clearly irritated by Jas Brown’s deanor.
Only then did Jas Brown order four dishes, two at and two vegetable.
The waiter took their order, sneakily observing the pair, completely unable to figure out their relationship.
“And bring a dozen beers,” Helen Wilson called out before the waiter left.
As soon as the waiter was gone, Jas Brown imdiately tensed up, “Officer Wilson, didn’t you say we weren’t going to drink?”
“Can’t I just drink now?” Helen Wilson glared.
“Fine, then drink,” Jas Brown put on the face of a man on his way to the gallows.
Seeing Jas like this, Helen felt quite a bit of relief, but then she fell into a daze as she thought about the day’s events.
Jas didn’t speak to her until their food arrived, and by then, Helen was still lost in thought.
Only when the sound of eating rose did Helen snap back to reality, only to see Jas gorging himself on the food.
Of the four dishes, he’d already eaten half of each.
“Are you a pig or sothing?
How can you eat so much?” Helen was instantly frustrated, thinking to herself how this guy just started eating on his own and had already consud so much, acting as if he were there just to take advantage.
Jas chewed several more bites, then swallowed everything in his mouth.
His cheeks finally deflated as he said, “Officer Wilson, I saw you didn’t seem to want to eat, so I was afraid the food would go to waste.
That’s why I ate it.”
“Who said I wasn’t going to eat?
I was just thinking about sothing.” Helen picked up her chopsticks and ate a few mouthfuls as well, feeling that if she didn’t start eating, this jerk Jas would finish off everything.
After snatching a few bites, Helen noticed that Jas stopped eating and was just smilingly watching her, which made her face turn red.
“What are you looking at?
Haven’t you seen a beautiful woman eat before?”
“I have seen beautiful won eat, but to eat as fast as you are, as though soone were competing with you for it, that’s definitely a first for ,” he replied.
“You…” Helen held back the urge to throw her chopsticks at Jas’s face and snorted.
She grabbed a bottle of beer, poured a glass, and said, “Drink.”
“For real?” Jas asked cautiously.
“Stop talking.” Helen lifted her glass again and downed it in one go, staring at Jas.
Jas drank a glass “against his will and desire,” while Helen poured another glass right away, forcing Jas to keep drinking with her.
It seed the more reluctant he was, the more she wanted to make him drink.
Before long, they had each drunk two bottles.
Helen’s face was flushed, and she was starting to feel tipsy.
Setting down her glass with a thud, Helen suddenly sighed and said, “Jas Brown, I’m really feeling down right now.”
With a smile, Jas quipped, “Tell what’s got you down.
It might cheer up.”
Helen glared at him but didn’t lose her temper.
“Today I caught two criminals, and they were wanted felons.”
“Well, that’s a good thing.
Congrats!”
“Then the departnt praised .
Not only am I getting a bonus afterward, but I’ve also been promoted to deputy chief.”
“Congratulations, congratulations.
From now on, Deputy Chief Wilson, you have to look out for .”
With a wry smile, Helen said, “It should have been a good thing, but I didn’t catch those two by my own ability.
Soone else was helping , and that’s how I managed to nab them.”
“What’s wrong with getting help?”
“What do you know?” Helen glared before sighing again.
“The main thing is, the departnt now credits all the rits to and won’t let reveal that soone helped .
It makes feel awful.”
Jas looked at Helen with surprise.
He had to reassess her; this beautiful officer was not just brave but also unmaterialistic—a rare find indeed.
“Did you know?
Today I faced two knife-wielding crooks.
If I were alone, they would have definitely killed .
But that man, just like that, knocked one of them down so he couldn’t get up.” As Helen spoke of that master, her eyes lit up.
Paying no attention to Jas’s reaction, she was completely engrossed in her mory, whispering wistfully, “That master also left the other crook for to practice on and taught a lot of practical martial arts skills.
He was really incredible.”
Jas sipped his drink and responded, “Sounds pretty incredible.”
Proudly, Helen boasted, “Of course, he’s the most formidable person I’ve ever t.
I really want to find him to thank him and then ask him to be my teacher, to properly instruct in martial arts skills.”
“Oh…” Seeing how excited Helen got while saying this, with a faint blush on her face, Jas couldn’t help but touch his nose, realizing that Helen had taken a liking to the man he’d impersonated—quite the unexpected turn.
“Jas Brown, how can there be such incredible people in this world?” Helen looked up at Jas.
Jas chuckled and said, “I don’t know about being incredible, but I think he helped you like that, he might be after you.”
“Really?” Helen exclaid, surprised and delighted.
Jas just facepald.
He had wanted to speak ill of himself but hadn’t expected Helen to react in such a way.
“Yeah, he’s probably trying to hit on you, to play you, using this thod to make you rember him.
You should be careful.”
Helen abruptly stood up, rushed over, and grabbed Jas by the collar, shouting angrily, “Don’t you slander him.
If you keep this up, I’ll make you pay.”
Feeling sweat on his forehead, Jas thought he was only speaking ill of himself, yet Helen’s reaction was so intense.
What was this all about?
He awkwardly said, “Okay, okay, I’ll stop.”
Then Helen snorted, let go of Jas, and went back to her seat.
Propping up her cheek with her hand and squinting her eyes, she said dreamily, “If he really fancies , that would be wonderful.”
Clang!
The glass in Jas’s hand fell to the floor and shattered.
This lovesick woman was really sothing else.
A woman like Helen showing such a smitten expression was truly astonishing.
