“Officer, don’t worry too much. Have a candy to calm down,” Skinny Monkey said, pulling out two candies from his pocket.
Tao Yu smiled, “No need.”
“Just take one. I still need to eat the other. Don’t be polite,” Skinny Monkey laughed.
Tao Yu, unable to refuse, picked one from his hand and held it, with no intention of eating. Skinny Monkey, after she chose, quickly unwrapped his candy and popped it into his mouth. “Try it, Officer. I think the candy tastes good. My mother made it and had someone bring it in.”
Tao Yu paused, looking at the candy in her hand, and noticed the handmade packaging. She laughed and said, “Okay, I’ll try it.”
As soon as she unwrapped the candy, before putting it in her mouth, she heard someone coldly say behind her, “Officer, aren’t you afraid of being poisoned by eating this candy?”
Tao Yu’s fingers paused for a moment, then she expressionlessly put the candy in her mouth. The rich milk flavor immediately spread in her mouth. She stared unblinkingly at the stage, where Zhou Ying was spinning a handkerchief happily.
Skinny Monkey, seeing Yue Linze arrive, showed an awkward smile. He hesitated before sitting next to Li Xun. Li Xun, seeing Yue Linze come to his territory, didn’t say much, but mentally noted this account, instructing his brothers to perform with more effort and ensure Yue Linze was kept in solitary confinement for 10 days.
Tao Yu, sensing Yue Linze sit beside her, immediately tensed up, her fingers unconsciously gripping the baton handle, ready to strike at any moment.
Yue Linze noticed her wariness and mocked, “You have the guts to eat Skinny Monkey’s things, but not to sit with me? Do you know what he used to do?”
“Why must I know what he used to do?” Tao Yu’s gaze gradually turned cold. “Everyone on this island has committed capital crimes. If we really dig into it, I can’t interact with any of them.”
She paused for a moment, then glanced sideways at Yue Linze, “Including you.”
Yue Linze’s lips moved, and after a while, he said, “I’m different from them…”
