Chapter 320: Chapter 165: Feng Yu Develops Feelings for Chen Mo

"I’m heading out then. I’ll call you next time I go out to sea. Oh, and don’t forget to take the fish from the boat."

Seeing that Feng Yu had something to discuss with Chen Mo, Tang Tianyu said his goodbyes and left with his company’s artists and influencers.

"All done?"

Chen Mo smiled and glanced at Feng Yu.

She was in her uniform today, which made her look even more striking than in her casual clothes.

Just a moment ago, after Feng Yu had brought Captain Li over, she and her colleagues had cordoned off the scene.

Now that Captain Li and his team had left with the item, the cordon was naturally lifted.

"Yeah, we’re about to pack up and head back. I just came over to say hi."

A charming smile lit up Feng Yu’s striking face as she spoke to Chen Mo.

"In that case, why don’t you have your colleagues head back first and be my driver? I’ve been drinking, so I can’t drive back to the city."

Realizing he couldn’t drive, Chen Mo figured it was the perfect opportunity to have Feng Yu act as his chauffeur.

"I wouldn’t dare drive your sports car in this uniform. Don’t get me on the trending topics."

Feng Yu rolled her pretty eyes at him, her slender finger tapping the number on her chest.

"You can just wear a jacket over it."

Chen Mo smiled and handed her his jacket.

Feng Yu was about 170cm tall, so his jacket would completely cover her torso.

"Alright, fine."

Feng Yu took Chen Mo’s jacket and nodded after a moment of thought.

"Wait here, I’ll go get the fish."

After letting her know, Chen Mo turned and went back onto the boat.

"Chen Mo, just take this cooler. It’ll be hard to carry the fish otherwise."

Wu Zicong was still on the boat taking inventory. When he saw Chen Mo come to get the fish, he offered him the cooler.

"Thanks."

Chen Mo gave him a nod of acknowledgment.

"I’m heading out too."

Wu Zicong waved, and he and Chen Mo walked off the yacht together, carrying their things.

They parted ways in the parking lot, and Chen Mo placed the cooler in the front trunk.

Then he got into the passenger seat, while Feng Yu, who had put on his jacket, sat in the driver’s seat.

She adjusted the seat, and after Chen Mo showed her how to start the car, she drove out of the parking lot.

’Feng Yu must drive a lot for her job. Her skills are pretty good.’

Even though it was her first time driving this car, she handled it well, aside from going a little slow.

"Chen Mo, why did you call me this time?"

Feng Yu asked curiously, glancing over at Chen Mo as she drove.

She remembered from the last incident—the one with the "walking 500,000 yuan bounty"—that they had explained which departments to call for specific situations.

’Chen Mo definitely knew who he was supposed to call this time.’

"We’re friends, aren’t we? My first instinct was to call you. I figured, what if you could get some credit for it?"

Chen Mo smiled slightly, turning to look at Feng Yu’s delicate profile.

He was telling the truth. His first reaction after pulling the Metal Black Fish out of the water had been to find her.

"Huh? Is that really why?"

Hearing Chen Mo’s words, a look of surprise appeared on Feng Yu’s striking face, and a flicker of emotion flashed in her beautiful eyes.

She had truly never considered that Chen Mo had called her just to help her get some of the credit.

Now, hearing him say it himself, she felt inexplicably moved.

"What else? Did you think I didn’t know who to call?"

Chen Mo chuckled, asking jokingly.

At his words, Feng Yu pulled the car over to the side of the road.

"Chen Mo, thank you."

After parking the car, she turned to face him and thanked him very seriously. The look she gave him was different now.

’This was something he could have reported directly to the proper department, but he insisted on calling me first.’

’All so I could get a piece of the credit.’

Chen Mo’s thoughtfulness deeply touched her heart.

She and Chen Mo were already good friends, and she admired him a great deal.

This gesture of his had really struck a chord with her.

"We’re friends, right? Isn’t it natural for us to help each other out?"

Seeing her thank him so formally, Chen Mo couldn’t help but smile and wave his hand dismissively.

"Not many friends are that thoughtful. In any case, I still have to thank you."

"When I get a day off, let me treat you to a meal. And hey, you said you were going to take me out somewhere. You haven’t forgotten, have you?"

A charming smile spread across Feng Yu’s pretty face as she proactively asked Chen Mo out.

She had a rather direct personality. Now that Chen Mo had moved her, she wanted to spend more time with him and see where things went.

She had always had a good impression of Chen Mo.

Now, there was a spark of something more, but whether that spark could grow into genuine affection would depend on how they got along in the future.

She was reminded of the fortune-teller her mother had consulted, who predicted she would find a partner that would bring his wife great fortune.

Chen Mo certainly brought her good luck, and he happened to be single. It made her think her mom’s fortune-teller had been surprisingly accurate.

"How could I forget? I’ve just been really busy lately, too."

"Just let me know in advance when you have a day off, and I promise I’ll take you out."

Chen Mo smiled and patted his chest, giving her his guarantee.

"Let’s pinky-promise. Otherwise, I’m afraid you’ll flake on me."

Feng Yu smiled charmingly and held out her pinky, offering to make a pinky promise with Chen Mo.

"Do I seem like that kind of person?"

Chen Mo shrugged and extended his own pinky.

He linked his pinky with her slender, smooth one, and then they pressed their thumbs together.

"You still believe in these?"

Chen Mo couldn’t help but give her an amused look.

’A police officer, making a pinky promise with someone.’

’No matter how you looked at it, it felt a little out of place.’

"Well, I can’t exactly make you sign a contract in black and white, can I? That would be too forward."

Feng Yu covered her mouth with a delicate hand and giggled, joking with him.

’She usually dealt with suspects in black and white.’

’But that wouldn’t be appropriate to use on Chen Mo, would it?’

"I think a pinky promise is just fine."
