About Me Being Adopted by Talula (Complete).

Summary

In this chapter, Officer Swire reflects on a recent hostage situation at a jewelry store when she is greeted by Officer Lung and rookie detective Orson, who has managed to save the hostages but is now under suspicion himself. Orson finds himself in an interrogation room with two senior inspectors, Ch'en Hui-jie—a strict and efficient character—and Beatrix Squyer—a more charismatic and likable officer. The two inspectors’ banter reveals contrasting views on justice, leading to a heated argument about Orson's actions and intentions, while Orson feels increasingly out of place as a bystander. As tensions escalate, Orson tries to explain his innocence but struggles to articulate his relationship with Talula, the girl he is searching for. The dynamic shifts when Shi Huai Ya, another officer, inadvertently takes the blame for Orson's presence in the Guard Bureau, which surprises Ch'en. Swire, who seems to have a complicated relationship with her family business, is also drawn into the fray. Orson's attempts to clarify his mission are interrupted when Ch'en becomes aggressive, insisting on separation and seeking proof of his claims about Talula. In a moment of desperation, Orson recounts embarrassing childhood stories about Ch'en that Toko had shared, hoping to earn her trust. The chapter concludes with a comedic turn as Swire mistakenly causes an accident between Ch'en and Orson, hinting at the chaotic dynamics within the Guard Bureau.
