I Went Viral After Dating a Superstar-Chapter 168 - 157 Woman

She only spoke after getting into the car, "You drank and still went to the scene?"

"I wasn’t scheduled for duty; just went out, and who would’ve guessed something came up. Had a bit of beer, it’s within limits."

Fang Zongli then nodded, looking at the man.

She hadn’t seen him for a while, and he had gotten noticeably paler.

She said with a smile, "What kind of case is it that required Captain Lu to go over there... Ah, wait, should I not know about it?"

"I only know two people died, I’m not clear on the details myself. I found out after I got there."

"Two people died... Wow, that sounds major, no wonder they needed you to rush over."

Lu Lizhe looked sideways at her, "Can you speak properly?"

Fang Zongli snorted in laughter, "Sorry, it’s a habit. Who told you to be so annoying before, it really made me want to counter you."

"I..." Lu Lizhe was momentarily lost for words, then helplessly said, "Alright, alright, I won’t argue with a woman."

"Hey, what’s with you, what about women?"

He looked at her face, "Why do you still like to argue so much?"

"It’s in my nature; I graduated from being a professional contrarian," she said, not ashamed but proud.

He said, "Yeah..." He rested helplessly with both hands flopping down, leaning back in the seat, then added, "You being a girl, out so late, aren’t you scared?"

Fang Zongli knew what he meant; was she not afraid after having experienced that incident?

She shrugged and said, "I can’t just lock myself at home because I encountered a freak. I still have to work. In my field, having a bodyguard all the time would affect my work, and I’m not a celebrity, right? Plus, I think getting out more and resuming my life might actually help my mental recovery better."

His gaze towards her gradually intensified.

The fleeting lights danced on her young face, and the coldness of the deep night couldn’t frighten her, as she seemed to always carry confidence.

She looked at him, "What is it, why are you staring at me?"

"Nothing," he snapped back to reality, said, "It’s just, I never thought before... you’re pretty strong and so assertive, it’s quite rare."

"What do you mean, this is a common trait among modern women. It’s you guys, the big men, who had misunderstandings before, thinking we are delicate and can’t even open a water bottle cap. In reality, let me tell you, that act just satisfies your male chauvinism."

"..."

She said with a smile, "The women nowadays, so many are like me, so I can’t just stop. If I stop, there might be countless others who’d catch up from behind. These days, there are too many strong women, I can’t afford to show any weakness. They work while giving birth, work during their confinement, work during surgeries, always working. I have plenty of examples around me, what can I do? Life keeps pushing people forward, and time won’t stop for anyone."

As she spoke, she took a deep breath and let out a laugh.

He listened quietly, thoughtful.

Soon, they arrived at the place.

Her car stopped, "It’s over there, right? Wow, so many people."

Someone came from behind.

"No parking here."

Lu Lizhe got out, showing his police badge.

"Oh, Captain Lu."

"No worries, I’ll just take a look first. I’ve been drinking, not too convenient to do much else."

Fang Zongli also got out and heard people talking behind her.

"It’s horrible, they fished out two dismembered bodies."

"There are too many psychos these days, totally sickening, that smell!"

"I can’t look anymore, afraid I’ll have nightmares going back."
