Luo Ziling, startled, quickly let go, and Ouyang Huihui, having lost her support, immediately began to lose her balance. He had no choice but to reach out and steady her again.

Fortunately, this time he only grabbed her arm.

At this moment, the police officer's phone rang.

The officer, who had been frowning as he watched Luo Ziling and Ouyang Huihui shove each other, quickly answered the call after seeing the caller ID.

The call was from the chief of their precinct. After listening for a few moments, the officer's expression changed drastically and he even began to sweat from fear.

Goodness, the identity of the woman in front of him was truly intimidating. It was a relief that nothing serious had happened, as it would have spelled big trouble for them.

"Miss Ouyang, I am truly sorry," the officer apologized hastily after hanging up the phone, "It's an oversight in our work that such a public safety incident could occur. Rest assured, we will thoroughly investigate this matter and not let any lawbreaker off the hook. Is your foot injured? Shall we take you to the hospital first?"

Just now, the precinct chief had said that the city bureau chief personally called to inform them that Miss Ouyang of the Ouyang Family had been robbed and almost assaulted within their jurisdiction. He demanded a thorough investigation. The precinct chief, after promptly finding out who the responding officers were, made a personal call.

In the call, the precinct chief insisted on ensuring Miss Ouyang's safety and to provide her with a satisfactory outcome.

This officer had never dealt directly with the Ouyang Family, but he knew of the Ouyang Family's influence. If even the city bureau chief had to handle them with care, would ordinary police officers dare to provoke them?

Thankfully, he hadn't spoken out of line just now. It seemed that Miss Ouyang hadn't been injured or disgraced, otherwise, many people would be in trouble.

Seeing the change in the police officer's demeanor before and after the call, Ouyang Huihui knew that her sister had intervened in the incident. Her temper rising further, she didn't hesitate to order the officer to take the three thugs away, ensuring they received their deserved punishment.

"How dare they have the audacity to molest me, to steal my phone," Ouyang Huihui thought of the incident and gritted her teeth in anger, ranting at the officer, "Robbery and hooliganism, if they don't get locked up for several years, I won't let it go."

"Please be assured, Miss Ouyang, we will enforce the law impartially and will not tolerate any wrongdoing," the officer quickly agreed, inwardly mourning the fate of the ruffians. How had they managed to mess with this formidable lady?

He also wondered, why would the Miss Ouyang of the Ouyang Family go out without bodyguards?

Looking at Luo Ziling, he didn't seem like a bodyguard but more like Ouyang Huihui's boyfriend.

"Could it be a lovers' spat, she stormed off in anger and sent away the bodyguards, leading to the bullying by the gangsters?" He thought about this possibility and felt that it was likely the case.

The couple was out for fun and having bodyguards around would certainly be bothersome, so they sent them away. Miss Ouyang's boyfriend didn't seem weak; it was just that after their quarrel, Miss Ouyang left in a huff and then encountered the gangsters.

Fortunately, her boyfriend arrived just in time and swiftly sent the ruffians flying with a few kicks.

The officer was quite pleased with his rich imagination, quickly conjuring up all these twists and turns.

"All right, you can go. Just take them with you; we don't need your help with our situation," Ouyang Huihui commanded the officers to leave with a commanding presence. She did not want to get entangled with them anymore or deal with the police any further.

"Miss Ouyang, are your injuries hindering you? Do you need us to take you to the hospital?" the officer asked cautiously once more.

"No need," Ouyang Huihui impatiently refused.

The officer didn't say anything else, signaled the auxiliary police to handcuff the three ruffians and escort them to the police car.

The police car soon sped away with sirens blaring.

Only Luo Ziling and Ouyang Huihui were left at the scene.

"Luo Ziling, you jerk," Ouyang Huihui's temper flared again as she angrily yelled at Luo Ziling, "If it weren't for you leaving me alone, how could I have possibly encountered such a thing?"

As she spoke, her anger intensified, and she was sorely tempted to give Luo Ziling a kick.

She had been touched when he showed up to save her just moments before. But upon realizing that it was all because of Luo Ziling to begin with, if he hadn't argued with her and they hadn't separated, then she wouldn't have been subjected to the lecherous punks and gotten frightened.

Thus, her resentment towards Luo Ziling surged again, and the favorable feelings that had suddenly emerged earlier had vanished without a trace as if off to Java.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got, really wanting to lash out and give him a few kicks.

"I didn't anticipate such a situation near the school," Luo Ziling scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, "It was my fault, and I apologize. Can you please let it go?"

Luo Ziling admitted his fault and apologized to her, asking for her forgiveness. This put Ouyang Huihui instantly at ease as if she were savoring a cold beer on a hot June day. She could not help but smile slightly. Since she had known Luo Ziling, this was the first time he had backed down and apologized to her.

In the past, he always bullied her severely, infuriating her to the point of wanting to commit murder.

"Hmph, don't think that a mere apology will make me forgive you. Not a chance," Ouyang Huihui suppressed her inner triumph and continued fiercely, "I'll always remember today's incident, and I'm going to tell my grandfather and my sister about it."

"Suit yourself," Luo Ziling was getting a headache. This woman was really tiresome. Any guilt he might have felt due to the recent events quickly dissipated in light of Ouyang Huihui's relentless attitude, "Alright, the matter has been resolved. Let's go back to sleep."

"My leg is sprained," Ouyang Huihui finally remembered that she had twisted her leg and sustained an injury, which caused pain when she walked, "You bastard, it's all your fault. Now I can't live normally, you have to take responsibility."

"Take responsibility?" Luo Ziling was taken aback. He immediately thought about the scenes in TV shows or movies, where after a man and a woman did something, the woman would coquettishly tell the man that he needed to take responsibility, to bear it for a lifetime, not to be faithless, not to abandon her after having his fun.

He shivered involuntarily—it was just a touch of her breast, a slight advantage he had taken. And now she was demanding he take responsibility.

The thought of Ouyang Huihui forcing him to marry her crossed his mind. The prospect of spending a lifetime with such a woman turned his face pale with fright.
