Stuck in you

Rachel and Linda were taken to Chief Ren's office, where the chief took pains to see to their comfort by serving them coffee and ensuring that the air conditioning was at the optimal temperature. Then, he said that he was going to see Eric and left the office.

Linda stood up and walked around with the coffee cup in her hand. She raised an eyebrow and said to Rachel, "Your boyfriend is really awesome. He even managed to frighten them."

Rachel smiled in response and said nothing.

She sat back down on the sofa and continued, "Eric told me some time ago that you two are getting married again. Is that true? I think you'd better hurry up and get married as soon as possible so you could feel at ease."

"At ease?" Rachel asked with a frown on her face, not understanding what her aunt meant.

Linda choked in disbelief and anger and resentfully remarked, "How hard is it for you to understand? With Jack's status, there must be hordes of women who want to take your place beside him and are willing to seduce him away from you. So you must marry him as soon as possible."

She rolled her eyes and tapped her chin with a finger. "As your aunt, I think that I should pay Jack's parents a visit as soon as possible."

Rachel knew that her aunt was already imagining what she would say to Jack's parents and what requests she would make when they met, so she quickly interrupted, "Aunt Linda, we don't need to think about it until after Eric's problem has been resolved, okay?"

Linda's hand on her shoulder gradually slid down, and her bright eyes dimmed slightly. She pursed her lips and asked, "Why hasn't Eric come out yet? Is this matter really that difficult to solve?"

As soon as she finished her frustrated words, they heard the sound of footsteps approaching. Eric walked in and sat down on the sofa. He stretched his legs and huffed with his lips curled. "Today is really a bad day for me. You wouldn't believe what a group of psychos I met."

Rachel handed her cup of coffee to him and asked, "What happened?"

She checked the room earlier and saw an unconscious man, and she couldn't clearly understand what the others were saying.

Eric leaned back, his teeth gnashing in anger, and said fiercely, "I couldn't have fought with them, but someone kicked me in the belly. I couldn't stand it anymore. Who would have thought that the man doesn't really fight? I didn't even use my full strength, but he fainted just like that. What a bastard!"

Eric was a chatterbox, so it was difficult for him to close his mouth. He continued to talk about the unreasonable mess caused by those people that time, and Rachel just listened him quietly. If she did not see them with her own eyes, she would never have believed that someone could do such a shameless thing.

The three of them sat in silence for a while. Then, they said goodbye to Chief Ren and left the police station.

Rachel contacted Jack, who had just come from the hospital. They agreed to just see each other at home shortly.

At home, Jack's phone rang as he was pouring himself a cup of tea. At the other end of the phone, Austin said in a dispirited voice, "Mr. Fu, the negotiation failed."

"It's okay." He rubbed the furrow between his eyebrows. He had been in charge of this matter all along, whereas Austin only knew the rudiments of it. It must have been difficult for him to handle the whole meeting.
