“Mm, go back,” Tao Yu knew these people didn’t get along, so she didn’t insist.
After Skinny Monkey left, Yue Linze glanced at her clenched fist and said coolly, “Enjoying yourself?”
“Not bad,” Tao Yu looked at him unhappily, “You still haven’t answered my question. What are you doing here?”
Yue Linze gave her a cold glance, “Taking a walk. Is that not allowed? If I hadn’t come out for a walk today, I might not have known that Officer Tao has such good relationships with so many people.”
Tao Yu couldn’t be bothered to argue with him and tried to walk past him to the dormitory.
Yue Linze lazily spoke, “If others knew that Officer Tao accepted a bribe, what do you think they would think?”
“It’s just a piece of candy,” Tao Yu emphasized coldly.
Yue Linze sneered, a look of disdain in his eyes, “For you, it’s just candy. But for the sixth district, it’s evidence of your bias towards the fifth district. As the leader of the sixth district, I think this game doesn’t need to continue.”
His words implied withdrawal from the competition. Tao Yu couldn’t let him leave like this. She turned coldly, “Are you threatening me?”
Yue Linze stared at her masked face for a long time, then gave a contemptuous laugh, “Why would I threaten you? But…”
He took long strides towards Tao Yu until they were almost touching, and she looked uncomfortable. Only then did he stop, extending his hand in front of her, “Give me the candy, and I’ll pretend I didn’t see anything.”
Tao Yu was incredulous. Had he been talking so much just to get her candy? She looked up at him, only able to see his chin.
“Hand it over,” Yue Linze repeated, curling his lips.
Tao Yu took a deep breath, stepped back, and threw the candy at him. The candy hit Yue Linze and bounced off, rolling into the nearby forest, likely lost forever.
Tao Yu looked at him sarcastically, “If you want it, go find it yourself.” As she was about to leave, Yue Linze grabbed her arm.
She immediately glared, “Let go of me.”
“Stay away from Skinny Monkey,” Yue Linze warned.
Tao Yu was angry, “I’ll do exactly the opposite!
