"You should have expected that from the beginning," Daisy sneered. The police didn't arrive until half an hour later. It seemed that a tea with the chief of Public Security Bureau was inevitable.
"Bitch, you wait. I won't let you off." Sen was on the verge of losing control of his emotions. The dagger pointed at Mary's neck dug deep into her skin. She was bleeding.
Hearing the word bitch, Daisy squinted her eyes grimly at Sen.
"Please don't. Don't kill me!" Mary begged, trembling. Feeling the pain in her neck, she feared that Sen would slit her throat the next second.
"Be quiet! Or I'll kill you!" The police were getting closer. Sen kept a close watch on them and was on the alert against Daisy's ambush at the same time. Mary's pleading disturbed him a bit. Daisy took the opportunity and approached him swiftly. She grabbed the blade and got Mary out of his embrace. She kicked Sen hard in the balls and struck him with her elbow. Sen was caught, yet Daisy was cut by the blade and her hand was bleeding profusely.
"Sis Daisy, are you all right?" Leena came back with the police. She had intended to call the police again, but then she ran into them before she could run far away from here.
"It doesn't matter. It is just a scrape." Daisy indifferently looked at Mary, who was sitting on the ground. The pain in her palm made her frown.
"Ah! Sis, you are bleeding. Hurry. Let's go find Tom." Leena screamed at Daisy's bleeding hand.
"Excuse me. Are you Colonel Ouyang?" A policeman asked, head tilted. He felt that he had seen this female military officer before. She looked like the colonel who had been to their bureau several times to see their chief.
"Yes, I am. The police should arrive at the crime scene within five minutes. Why did it take you half an hour to get here?" Daisy peered at the man with a calm face. Yet the calm was just a prelude to a burst of rage.
"Sorry. We didn't know it was you who called the police. And there was an accident on our way here, so..." Once the policeman confirmed Daisy's identity, he kept his head down and didn't dare to look at Daisy in the eye.
"Do you mean you would have come here earlier if you had known it was me? I see. Take them to the police station and interrogate them. And tell Mr. Yi that I'd like to have a tea with him someday," Daisy said grimly. It was time she helped the police establish some discipline in their work.
"No, Colonel Ouyang. That's not what I meant." The policeman rubbed his head nervously. He felt Daisy had misunderstood him but he couldn't clear the misunderstanding and had made it worse.
"It's no use explaining. What's done is done. I'll leave everything here in your charge. I have something else to do. I won't go to the police station to do the statement." Daisy didn't like to use her power, but she hated the police's sloppy attitude. To her, they were just making excuses.
