When Nora walked over, she happened to hear Brenda, so all the more she wasn't in a hurry anymore. She even walked over two steps slower, stood outside the door, and peeked inside.
Brenda pushed the door open and entered. Her cold expression froze when she saw Solo.
Solo was ranting at the other SWAT officers.
"... I told you, I'm here to look for someone. How can you arrest me so indiscriminately? Hurry up and let me go! If you don't, I won't let you guys off!"
But when he saw Brenda, Solo's expression instantly changed.
He was so fierce just now, but he suddenly became cautious in an instant.
"Brenny?"
Nora, who was standing outside the door, suddenly felt a wave of disgust.
Brenny?
What a mushy nickname.
The SWAT officers were also stunned. They looked at Solo and then at Brenda. Finally, they asked, "Do you know each other?"
"Yes!"
"No!"
Solo and Brenda answered at the same time.
Aaron, the SWAT officer, became even more confused.
"Captain Brenda, do you know him or not?" "No."
"Yes."
Solo and Brenda answered at the same time again, except that they had switched answers this time.
Solo thought that perhaps Brenda didn't want to admit in public that he was her boyfriend, so he changed his stance.
But Brenda knew that if she denied knowing him, it would be very difficult for Solo to get out. When the two simultaneously switched stances, Aaron looked at them again in confusion.
Suddenly, realization dawned upon him. "Oh, I get it!"
He looked at Solo. "Boyfriend?"
Solo nodded immediately. Just as he was about to say yes, Brenda straight-up denied it. "No."
With a cold look, she added, "But I know who he is. He's not Barbarian, you can release him!"
Aaron nodded. "Okay."
After Solo was released, Brenda turned around and walked out.
Solo followed after her and asked, "Brenny, you admitted to knowing me just now. Is it because you were worried that I would be detained? I still have a place in your heart, right?"
Brenda took a deep breath, turned around, and said word by word: "Listen, I would have said the same thing even if it was someone else. Because this is my job. I want to rule all the suspicious people out."
Her words stunned Solo, and a somewhat lonely expression came over his face. "But I'm not just anyone. Didn't you say that you like me? And that you also like being with me? You even told me to listen to you and do as you say..."
Brenda lowered her eyes, which seemed somewhat chilly. Her lips slowly curled into a sneer and she said, "If you are really willing to do as I say, then you should leave immediately and never appear before me ever again!"
"But why?" Solo, who didn't understand, pressed further.
