should stop calling me Captain Bennett.”“How should I address you, then?”“Lucas and the others call me by my name, so you can do it, too.”Winnie nodded and took a bite of the ice cream. “Okay, Christopher. Has anyone told you that you have a really nice name?”Christopher was a little touched. His name sounded so pleasant when said by the woman he loved. He never once thought he had a nice name, as he always felt that it was too common.“You have a pretty name too.” Winnie carried the meaning of happiness. It was just like the happiness he felt when he met her three years ago.“Thank you.”The two then walked side by side when a black Mercedes-Benz suddenly drove by.At first, the man in the Mercedes-Benz noticed nothing, but soon, as reaction kicked in, he found the two figures he had just passed by familiar.Hence, he quickly rolled down the car window and glanced in the direction of the two.However, his car moved too fast, and the two had also turned into a corner, disappearing from his sight.In the meantime, Winnie asked Christopher, “By the way, you said you have something important to tell me. What is it?”Before Christopher could speak, Winnie’s phone rang.Winnie picked up the phone and frowned instantly. After only a short moment, she ended the call.“Thank you, but I don’t need that. Bye!”Hearing that, Christopher immediately understood. “A sales call?” he queried.“Yes. It’s strange, though. I’ve installed a call blocker app. Usually, the spam calls can’t get in. How did the person do it?” Winnie was puzzled. As soon as she finished speaking, she received another call from an unknown number.“It must be some sales call again. I guess my blocker app has been disabled.” Winnie immediately blocked the unknown number and muted her phone.“It’s muted now. Let’s continue.”With a nod, Christopher uttered thoughtfully, “If you don’t mind, I’ll take a look at it for you later. My colleague from the information department has taught me how to filter this kind of spam call.”“Sure. Let’s talk business first.”“Right. I came to tell you I met Yulissa earlier, and she gave me a lot of useful information.”“What? Did you just say you met her and not arrested her?” Winnie frowned.“Yes. I met her outside, and I didn’t arrest her.”“Why?” Winnie was confused. “There’s no way she would willingly give you useful information. Is she really trying to turn over a new leaf now?”“I think it’s because of her grandfather. She knows that her effort alone is too insignificant, and she needs the help of the police. But this is what we police should do. You don’t have to worry about that.”“Fair point. She mentioned me, didn’t she? Otherwise, you wouldn’t have come to meet me, right?”“That’s right. I know she had the intention of pushing you down the hill previously, so I’m worried that she’ll hurt you. From what I gather, I think she wants to steal Xavier from you. I’m afraid she’ll do something irrational.”“She wants to steal Xavier from me?” Winnie smiled. “Does she think she really has a chance to do so? Look at what he did to Xavier! She’ll never get to redeem herself, no matter what she does. It’d take Xavier to lose his mind to get back together with her.”“Are you… really that confident with Xavier?” Suddenly, Christopher felt a little miserable.To be honest, he had considered it too when Yulissa made that suggestion.However, he did not want to use this kind of method to get her. She had already said Xavier had not passed her test yet, anyway.He would rather wait for the outcome of the test.If Xavier failed, he would take a big move to approach her. If he
