Chapter 003: I Accidentally Got Married
714 Words
The staff member looked at Zhan Yan as if he were a fool.
This was taking the institution of marriage far too lightly!
"I mistook her for someone else! She is not the person I intended to marry!"
Zhan Yan's voice grew more profound, and Wen Ruo, staring at his perfect profile, was taken aback for a second before bursting into laughter.
"Sir, you don't even know who you're marrying?"
Wen Ruo didn't believe his words. Was this some joke at her expense?
She had already realized he was not the colleague her superiors had arranged to meet her. She had been too eager to shake off the suspect.
Taking a deep breath, Zhan Yan tried to suppress his anger while looking at Wen Ruo.
"And you?"
Zhan Yan now saw Wen Ruo as a gold-digging scammer who knew his identity. Why else would she be dressed exactly like the woman he was supposed to marry?
Wen Ruo couldn't tell him she was on a mission, and her silence only confirmed Zhan Yan's suspicions.
He decided to pay any price to get rid of her quickly.
He never wanted to see this woman again!
"Give me a divorce certificate!"
Zhan Yan spoke up again, but the staff member replied awkwardly, "Sir, there is a one-month cooling-off period for divorce."
Zhan Yan was seething with anger. "I am a VIP."
The staff member explained, "VIPs don't have to wait in line for certificates, but divorce is impossible! The system cannot be changed."
Wen Ruo was also stunned when she heard this.
A month?
And more importantly, she was now a married woman.
Just as Wen Ruo was at a loss, she suddenly saw the suspect approaching.
Wen Ruo swiftly hooked her arm through Zhan Yan's, whispering under his warning gaze, "I'm on a mission; your 8 o'clock direction is my target! Please cooperate with me."
Zhan Yan stood still, trying to pull his arm away, but Wen Ruo, a top graduate of the police academy, resisted, and for the first time, Zhan Yan couldn't break free.
When he tried again, the suspect had already turned and left.
Wen Ruo let out a sigh of relief and released Zhan Yan.
"Wen Ruo! Do you copy? What's your situation? The colleague who arranged for your rendezvous has arrived! He's at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau."
Just then, the signal from her superiors finally came through her earpieces.
When Ruo, covering her ear, said solemnly, "Lin Team Lead, the suspect just left. Tell my rendezvous colleague to follow him directly; there is no need to wait for me! He should believe me now."
"Roger that! Exit as soon as you can."
"I can't leave just yet."
"What happened? Are you hurt?" Lin's voice became tense.
With a face like she was attending a funeral, Wen Ruo said, "I accidentally got married just now."
Lin Team: "..."
"Wen Ruo! Have you lost your mind? Are you kidding me?! You have five minutes to get back here!"
Of course, Lin Team did not believe Wen Ruo's words. Wen Ruo needed time to explain and agreed to do so for now.
While she was talking to herself with her earpiece, Zhan Yan had reached his limit.
"Are you done playing around?"
Tall and looming, Zhan Yan stood before her like a wall, casting an endless shadow over her.
Wen Ruo then removed her badge from her pocket and showed it to him.
"I am a police officer!"
When Ruo quickly explained the mistake of assuming he was the colleague she was supposed to meet.
Zhan Yan looked at her badge, still skeptical.
But she didn't seem brave enough to impersonate a public official.
"You..."
"I need to get back to my team to explain! Keep the marriage certificate, give me your number, and I'll contact you later to resolve today's issue!"
Wen Ruo hurried to leave and proactively asked for Zhan Yan's phone number.
Zhan Yan didn't want to give it to her, but thinking he would need her cooperation to divorce and not wish to make her an enemy, he decided to give her a private number.
After noting it down, Wen Ruo turned and ran, leaving Zhan Yan alone in the VIP room, his world in disarray.
