Rules of Engagement novel Chapter 33

Coy followed them out as well. Elsa didn't think too much while rushing to the downtown.

She unfolded the piece of paper in the car. The words on it were scribbled in disorder, but she could tell that it was a stranger's name. She had thought too much. How could it be Soren! She had seen Soren's handwriting before. Although she didn't read it carefully, she had a good impression of him because it's a habit of her job. Soren's handwriting was strong and powerful, but the brushwork also showed his mildness, which gave people a strange sense of harmony. It was just like himself, who was bold in his suit, but was mild in front of Elsa. The only suitable way to describe this feeling of him would be outwardly gentle but inwardly stern.

Soren was just a special being like this, a mixture of these two contradictory temperaments.

Soren, the name haunted Elsa's mind again.

"Are you acquainted with anyone in the army, Zaza?" Johnny asked.

Elsa shook her head, then nodded, but she didn't want to talk about it. Thinking of Jane, she looked out of the window and asked the driver, "When can I get there please?"

"We are almost there."

On the way, Johnny received a call. He lowered his voice but Elsa still could hear the word "Tina". Tina, Tina Zeng, only for a moment of trance, Elsa took her mind back. After finishing the phone call, Johnny apologized, "Sorry, Zaza, I have something urgent to do now, so I can't go with you."

"Okay." Elsa nodded. She didn't need him anyway.

As soon as she got out of the car, Elsa run into the police station. Leaning against the ground, Jane ran to Elsa and hugged her, crying loudly, as soon as she saw her.

Elsa asked worriedly, "Janie, did they hit you? Are you okay?"

"No, no. but they kept forcing me to admit that I had stolen something and wouldn't let me do anything if I refuse to admit it."

Elsa knew Jane well. How could she steal? She said to the two policemen beside her, "You must have made a mistake. How could my friend steal other people's things?"

The policeman rolled his eyes at her and said impolitely, "Evidence was presented here."
