Watching as Laura Quinn opened the door and left without looking back, Jack Carter couldn't help but show a hint of surprise on his face. He had thought that when Laura Quinn heard her bag was missing, she would definitely ask a few suspicious questions, but unexpectedly, she was so straightforward, as if losing the bag didn't matter at all and she wasn't the least bit anxious.

What a strange woman! Jack Carter watched Laura Quinn leave, shook his head, and was just about to close the door when he saw Laura Quinn coming back up the stairs with quick steps. Her ample chest bounced up and down under her loose T-shirt, as if there were two little white rabbits inside.

"Is there something else?" Jack Carter saw Laura Quinn return, his gaze sweeping over her full chest, and asked.

"Could you lend me some more money?" A faint blush rose on Laura Quinn's face.

She felt that she had never been so embarrassed in her life—drunk out of her mind and carried home by a young man, then seen naked by him the next day, then wearing his clothes, and now she even had to ask him for money?

She was the deputy director of the city public security bureau! The famous cold-faced Rakshasa of Jiangzhou's underworld and police circles! But if she didn't borrow money, she didn't have a penny on her—how could she get home?

When Jack Carter heard Laura Quinn ask to borrow money, he realized she was penniless and smiled bitterly to himself. It's really not easy to be a good person—first manual labor, then giving her clothes, and now even money.

Even so, Jack Carter didn't hesitate to take a hundred-yuan bill from his wallet and hand it to Laura Quinn, saying, "Here."

"Thank you! I'll return both the clothes and the money to you as soon as possible." Laura Quinn took the money, her expression returning to normal.

"You're welcome, it's a pleasure to help others!" Jack Carter replied politely with a smile, then hesitated and kindly advised, "But next time, really don't drink so much. It's very dangerous for a woman to be out on the street late at night after drinking so much. Do you know that last night, when you were dead drunk, you were almost carried away by two thugs!"

Even though Laura Quinn was a police officer and had been through many dangerous situations, her face still changed dramatically at these words, and she broke out in a cold sweat. She didn't even dare to imagine the terrible consequences if she had been raped by those two thugs!

It took a while for Laura Quinn to compose herself. Then, looking at Jack Carter with a serious expression, she said, "Jack Carter, thank you. I, Laura Quinn, will always remember this favor!"

Only at this moment did she truly realize that without Jack Carter's help, she would have been in an irredeemable situation last night. Although being seen naked by Jack Carter still made her feel uneasy, at this moment, what she felt most was heartfelt gratitude.

"Ms. Qin, you're being too formal. It was just a small effort." Seeing Laura Quinn thank him so seriously, Jack Carter couldn't help but blush with embarrassment.

Seeing the shy, boyish look on Jack Carter's face, and thinking that her body, which she had treasured for so many years, had been seen completely by him, Laura Quinn felt her heart inexplicably flutter. She raised her hand to brush her hair and said, "Give me your phone for a moment."

Jack Carter looked at Laura Quinn in confusion, but still took out a "warrior" Bird phone he had bought from the second-hand market and handed it to her.

Laura Quinn took the phone, entered her own number, and called it. When she heard her own phone's ringtone, she hung up, handed the phone back to Jack Carter, and smiled slightly, "I've entered my number into your phone. If you ever need my help, you can call me."

Now, Jack Carter just wanted to live an ordinary life and do his job well, not seeking great wealth or fame. With his hidden abilities, what could he possibly need Laura Quinn's help for? But since Laura Quinn was being grateful and kind, Jack Carter didn't want to refuse, so he just smiled noncommittally and said, "Thank you."

Having been in official circles for many years, Laura Quinn could naturally tell that Jack Carter didn't take her offer to heart, but she didn't point it out. She just smiled lightly and said, "Alright then, remember to call me if you need anything. The more friends you have, the more options you have—maybe I can help."

With that, Laura Quinn turned and walked downstairs. Her shapely hips, wrapped in the hem of the T-shirt, swayed with every step, exuding endless charm.

Jack Carter watched as Laura Quinn disappeared at the stairwell, recalling her fair and voluptuous body and the words she said before leaving. Suddenly, he felt the urge to use the secret divination techniques of the Wu Sect to calculate what kind of person Laura Quinn really was, and what could have happened last night to make such a woman drink herself into oblivion.

But this impulse was quickly dismissed by Jack Carter with a shake of his head.

Isn't the fun of life precisely in its mysteries and unknowns? Why rush to find out everything now?

"It's rare to be muddleheaded in life!" After dispelling that urge, Jack Carter smiled to himself and finally turned to head back to the washroom.
