Chapter 7 This Dude Is Mentally Ill
- As if he was catching a cheating partner, Benjamin shouted with a spirit of righteousness, “Stop right there!”
- Startled by his voice, Jennifer and Jonathan turned around and instantly found Benjamin and four police officers heading toward them. Among the four police officers, a gorgeous lady stood at the forefront. Clad in a dark blue police uniform, she was a stunning beauty, with her shirt clinging to every generous curve and dip. She looked young, as if she was less than twenty years old.
- However, Jennifer guessed that she must be older than twenty as girls these days were well played out, making it hard for others to tell their actual age. Similarly, Jennifer herself had an appearance of twenty-four years old.
- Shuddering at such a sight, she wondered, Why are the police here?
- The striking police officer, who had led the others to Jonathan, was Amber Johnson, who had a frosty look.
- Just as Amber was about to speak, Jonathan broke the silence. He chuckled and taunted Benjamin, “Loser, have you brought along such a formidable gang to scare us?”
- Benjamin was dumbfounded. Are you insane? The police are here. Shouldn't you be nervous about it?
- Furrowing her brows, Jennifer found his frivolous and insolent character dreadful, as she preferred someone who was mature and reserved.
- Never paying attention to trifles, Jonathan was oblivious to Jennifer's discomfort at his behavior.
- Just then, Amber frowned and snapped, “Watch your mouth!”
- While sizing Amber up, Jonathan's stare lingered at her chest briefly. However, with Jennifer's presence, Jonathan restrained himself and immediately shifted his gaze. Chuckling, Jonathan retorted, “Well, I don't see a problem since mouths are used for speaking.”
- Infuriated, Amber fumed, “Be serious. Stop messing around!”
- Cackling, Jonathan challenged, “Who are you to control my expression? Ever since I was young, I have always loved laughing. Hahaha...”
- Could not stand watching it any longer, a male office police officer, who stood next to Amber, reproached, “Behave yourself. If you don't cooperate with our investigation, things will not end well for you.”
- Shooting a glare at the male officer, Jonathan said nonchalantly, “I'm chatting with a pretty lady, so mind your own business.”
- Amber was disgruntled at Jonathan's shameless acts.
- On the other hand, Benjamin frowned. I'm sure Jonathan is definitely not an honest man, and he's more like a rascal than I am! I will never be this puffed up with arrogance in front of the police officers.
- Done messing around, Jonathan inquired, “So what's wrong, gorgeous? Why are you looking for me? Have I committed a crime?”
- Amber answered solemnly, “We've received a police report where someone suspected that you've been stealing in the neighborhood for quite some time now.”
- Ignoring Amber, Jonathan pivoted to Benjamin. “You're the one who made the police report, right?” He was surprised that Benjamin would play dirty.
- With the support from the police, Benjamin had nothing to be afraid of Jonathan. He snorted and chided, “You're the scum of our security team.”
- Giving a wry laugh, Jonathan threatened, “Bravo! You sure are capable, aren't you? Just you wait! Once the police officers are gone, you're as good as dead!”
- Benjamin shuddered at his words.
- Feeling livid, Amber barked, “Behave yourself! How dare you threaten others in front of us! This is sufficient for me to arrest you.”
- Jonathan responded, “Whatever.”
- Enraged by his behavior which was beyond insolent, Amber inhaled deeply to calm herself down and reminded herself to get down to business. She instructed, “Follow us to your dorm. We'll conduct a search with your presence.”
- Jonathan replied, “Sure, let's go.”
- Although Jennifer had only known Jonathan recently, she believed that he would not do such a thing and felt anxious for him. Jennifer was of the opinion that Jonathan was a candid person, and it was further proved by his threat to Benjamin before the police.
- If Benjamin was the one making this report, he must have set up some traps.
- Jennifer reminded softly, “Jon, he must have placed the stolen goods under your bed.”
- Snickering, Jonathan reassured, “Don't worry about it, Jen. Everything will be fine.”
- As always, he maintained a mask of indifference, and it was as if he had nothing to care about.
- Although Anthony and Harrison had warned Jonathan earlier today, the latter paid no heed to it.
- Jennifer could not figure out if it were because of Jonathan's arrogance or confidence in dealing with every matter.
- Soon, they arrived at the dorm.
- The fluorescent lamp shone brightly at the dorm, resembling daylight.
- Engrossed in a card game, four security guards froze with a ghastly pallor on their faces when they caught sight of the police officers. We're only gambling with a small amount of money. I'm sure there's no need for this.
- Jonathan smirked and comforted, “Don't worry. They're not here to arrest you guys, as their target is me.”
- Feeling incredulous by his words, Amber and everyone else fell speechless.
