Flash Marriage with a Mysterious Man

"Miss Mu, I advise you to honestly explain your motive and the process of committing the crime..."

Ever since she was brought into the police station, Mu Keren's ears had been filled with this question.

And she, in turn, repeated the same answer, "No matter what you say, if I didn't take it, then I didn't take it!"

"Didn't take it, then how did the bracelet end up in your bag?"

"I don't know!"

This kind of dialogue, she didn't know how many times it had been repeated. Mu Keren felt that, with each repetition, her mental state became progressively worse.

This was clearly not a good sign for her. She had nothing to fear if she was upright, but feared that being in a bad mental state could lead to mistakes in her answers. And then, these words could be taken as evidence...

After much thought, she asked, "Can I make a phone call?"

"You may!" The police officer did not make it difficult for her on this matter.

In fact, since being brought into the police station, the police had allowed her to contact her family to come over. But at that time, Mu Keren claimed that she had no family.

Her only family, Mu Weidong, was far away in Beiling, thousands of miles away. Even if she had made a call then, it would have been too far to help in time.

As for making a phone call, the first person she thought of was the faithless La Chuan. But as soon as she thought of his betrayal, Mu Keren forcefully cleared the thought from her mind.

As for Xuan Ling, there was even less need to mention. Wasn't she in the police station now because of Xuan Ling's doing? How could Xuan Ling possibly rescue her?

As for Huang Qingtian, Mu Keren had considered him. But they were neither relatives nor friends, and it wouldn't be suitable to call him over on such short notice. Thus, this option too had been temporarily ignored.

It wasn't until this moment that she felt she couldn't hold on any longer. In desperation, she could only try to dial Huang Qingtian's number.

The call was quickly answered.

The man on the other end of the phone had a faintly amused tone in his voice, "Little one, what brings you to call me?"

At this time, Huang Qingtian was sitting in the research lab at the HR headquarters.

This place was strictly off-limits to phone calls, as it hid the utmost secrets of China.

Yet today, Huang Qingtian had made an exception to take a call here.

However, Huang Qingtian's phone was also a result of HR's research, equipped with a special device that could temporarily block all signals. Plus, being the supreme authority of HR, no one dared to challenge him face-to-face here.

The only thing that seemed incredible was the subtle curve that lingered on Huang Qingtian's lips while he was on the call, a curve that was intriguing...

But soon, the smile on Huang Qingtian's face vanished, because the voice of Mu Keren came through the phone, pleading, "Huang Qingtian, save me!"

"What happened?" In just a moment, his brows raised and the murderous intent in his grey-green eyes was unmistakably evident.

Under his pressing, Mu Keren gave a rough account of the day's events and explained where she was.

"I'm very tired and very hungry..." After a brief pause, she then added, "As long as you can rescue me, I'll ensure you a lifetime of glory and wealth!"

Mu Keren wasn't foolish. In this world, without interests at play, who would help unconditionally?

Therefore, to make sure Huang Qingtian wouldn't abandon her at the crucial moment, Mu Keren could only extend an olive branch.

Her words also caused Huang Qingtian on the other end of the call to narrow his eyes slightly.

"Glory and wealth? I already have those! Could you offer something else?"

"Okay! I promise you anything I can do! Just come over..." Mu Keren on the other end of the phone was unusually straightforward.

But Huang Qingtian also noticed the hoarseness and gloom in her voice.

At that moment, he quickly packed away his playfulness, "Alright! I'm on my way now!"

When Huang Qingtian appeared at the police station, everyone who was busy inside stopped their work in their tracks.

It wasn't just the overly sharp aura emanating from this man that made them uneasy, but also the phoenix pattern etched with flames on his uniform...

Wasn't that pattern the emblem of Phoenix Blade, the most mysterious and badass division—simply known as HR—of China's National Security Bureau?

But these were all rumors, akin to the tales of ghosts renowned in hearsay.

Ghosts, heard of by many, but how many have seen one?

Yet today, this ghost-like emblem of HR was before their eyes!

Did that also imply that this man was a member of HR?

And amidst their curious gazes, Huang Qingtian had already strode toward the far corner.

"I didn't..." At the moment of Huang Qingtian's arrival, Mu Keren was still repeating her answer to the police officer.

Suddenly, a strong hand covered her shoulder.

That touch made Mu Keren quickly look up.

In the moment when their eyes met, her nose felt sore. Without thinking, she threw herself into Huang Qingtian's arms.

It's the same principle as a drowning person. When you struggle in water, you would grasp at anything that floats by, seeking a lifeline.

"It's all right now!" The girl was thin and small; Huang Qingtian could easily envelop her in his arms, offering comfort, before leading her toward the door.

Just then, the police officer who had been interrogating Mu Keren caught up, "I'm sorry. You can't take her away right now!"

That officer, after a glance at the emblem on Huang Qingtian's uniform, tactfully changed "you" to "sir"! The change in attitude went without saying.

Only Mu Keren, hiding in Huang Qingtian's arms and too heartbroken to notice, was oblivious to this.

"What's the matter?" Huang Qingtian heard the shouts from behind and naturally stopped, but the look he gave the officer was full of intimidation.

If not for his duty to be impartial, the officer truly wanted to drop everything and flee in panic.

"Because the bracelet was indeed found in her bag, and Xiangrui Group has already accused her of theft. So until there is evidence proving she has nothing to do with this matter, she can't leave here!"

In the officer's explanation, Huang Qingtian suddenly caught two key words: "Xiangrui?"

When Mu Keren heard that she would be kept there, her small hand clutched tightly onto Huang Qingtian's sleeve, "I don't want to stay here..."

Her wide, innocent eyes were filled with panic and unease. Especially the mist hidden within them, it invoked even more pity.

After his grey-green eyes passed over Mu Keren, Huang Qingtian's thin lips parted slightly, "Do you remember what you said earlier?"

Mu Keren nodded, "As long as you can get me out, I will agree to your conditions!"

"Then, kiss me?" His eyebrows, along with the corner of his lips, lifted in a way that made it unclear whether he was joking or serious.
