About Me Being Adopted by Talula (Complete).

Summary

In this chapter, Officer Chen Hui-jie and Chief Constable Marco have a tense discussion that is abruptly interrupted when a fluorescent light tube explodes above Marco, injuring him. Despite his anger and insistence that Chen prepares a report later, he storms off, leaving Chen and Orson to reflect on the chaotic situation. Orson, who possesses the skill to manipulate temperature, created the explosion deliberately to provide a distraction from their conversation about ongoing investigations into a suspicious case. As Chen contemplates the challenges of her role and the harsh realities of dealing with superiors, Orson expresses his belief in her abilities and support for her aspirations. The two share a moment of camaraderie, though Chen feels flustered when Orson takes her hand in encouragement, and she quickly dismisses the gesture. After Orson leaves Chen's office, he transforms his appearance to maintain anonymity as "Penguin Logistics' New Employee." He heads to the evidence department to claim a knight's sword, only to encounter Liberi, a small girl in a patched outfit who trips and accidentally causes a commotion. Concerned for her well-being, Orson rushes to help her, only to discover she is simply hungry and not hurt. Their interaction quickly becomes humorous, as Liberi stumbles over her gratitude, and they bond over casual conversation. Liberi explains her research on a specialized weapon, revealing her enthusiasm for mechanical engineering. Orson, who possesses the sword she is studying, engages in the discussion while feeling a bit bemused by her excitement. The chapter concludes with a mix of light-hearted moments and intrigue surrounding the operational dynamics of the Guard Bureau, as well as hints of deeper alliances and connections.
