<h4>Chapter 1760: He Is Actually Rather Dashing (30)</h4>


    Liang Liang had shown up slightlyte.


    But it wasn’t his fault.


    He had gone to look for Chief Bai to apply for armed police protection for Lu Nanze.


    But Chief Bai had insisted that no one had filed a police report, that they couldn’t possibly deploy the armed police so arbitrarily.


    Furthermore, he had meaningfully advised the man, “Liang Liang, you’re not a child anymore. Have you thought about family?”


    Thought about what?


    What was there to think about?


    He looked lost for a moment as Chief Bai continued, “Anan has liked you for many years. It’s about time you got married. After you get married, it will be the time for me to step down as the chief of police. How about I rmend you as my sessor?”


    Liang Liang was taken aback by his words.


    He was with Bai Anan not because he liked her, and definitely not because he had ambitions of bing chief of police.


    Thest thing in his mind had been to take advantage of his rtionship with Bai Anan.


    But Chief Bai’s words... they were an insult.


    Furthermore, the fact that Chief Bai would mention this just as he was assembling men to rescue Lu Nanze made it quite clear that it was a threat.


    He knew that in all probability, if he had agreed right then to marry Bai Anan, he would get the armed police support that he needed. But he honestly couldn’t bring himself to agree.


    He had gotten involved with her when Traceless had held Bai Anan hostage. After this episode, Bai Anan had sustained serious injuries and developed post-traumatic stress. He had felt sorry for Bai Anan and, on top of that Bai Anan, had proposed to him. At that point, even Chief Bai had looked for him and pleaded with him to agree to Bai Anan’s request, because the girl trusted only him and no one else.


    He had been ced in a difficult position because it was as if Bai Anan was going to die if he didn’t agree.


    Under those difficult circumstances, he had agreed to the engagement.


    But that had been half a year ago.


    He had never really thought of marrying Bai Anan. His intention had been to break up with her eventually, after she recovered.


    Because he could not forget Traceless.


    He had to look for Traceless and ask her about what had happened at the time. He wanted to ask her why she had treated him like that.


    But what did Chief Bai mean by this?!


    Liang Liang spoke up immediately, “Chief Bai, others may not know about the details of this so-called engagement between Anan and I, but surely you are aware?”


    Chief Bai smiled meaningfully and replied, “Exactly. You also know that others are not aware. So if the two of you don’t get married, won’t Anan end up being aughing stock?”


    Liang Liang’s expression clouded over immediately as he asked, “What do you mean?”


    “Liang Liang, Anan is so devoted to you. Why don’t you just agree? You won’t lose anything if you marry her, will you?”


    Liang Liang looked at Chief Bai steadily.


    He wanted to reject this openly.


    However, he knew that if he rejected the man, Traceless’ case would go to someone else.


    Hence lowering his head, he could only say, “Let me think about it.”


    He quickly turned around and left.


    He did not look for rescue men. Instead, he went to the mountain alone. That was the reason for him beingte.


    Of course, when he reached the mountain peak, he saw Lu Nanze jumping off the cliff with a woman.


    That woman...


    Perhaps others wouldn’t know her, but those clothes and that proud demeanor, how could he not recognize her?


    Traceless.


    Why was Lu Nanze with Traceless?


    And why had he jumped off the cliff with her?!


    As these thoughts ran through his mind, his eyes, fixed on Lu Nanze, became unfathomable andplex.


    Lu Nanze had once lied to him, saying that Traceless had died.


    He remembered that Lu Nanze had said that he had treated the girl unfairly, that she despised him for it.
