Holding Sienna's hand, Daniel walked past Vivian and Molly. He didn't want these unimportant people to bother them anymore.

Vivian got angry and turned to yell at Daniel as he walked away. "Daniel, don't you want to know who the middleman who contactedbefore was?" Daniel halted, and Sienna stopped, too. She looked at Daniel's serious face, then back at Vivian.

"I can tell you," Vivian said.

Molly frowned at Vivian, whispering, "Viv, don't say anything reckless."

Jealousy had clouded Vivian's judgment, making her impulsive.

Daniel led Sienna back to the duo and calmly asked, "Who was it?"

Vivian's stare locked onto their entwined hands. Her eyes grew steely, and her tone harsh. "If you cwithnow, I'll lead you to him."

She added, "But you must calone."

Sienna understood Daniel's professional obligations. Moving closer, she spoke gently, "Daniel, it's all right. We can go out another time. Focus on your work for now."

Daniel responded with a warm smile. Sienna's empathy touched him deeply, yet he remained mindful of his professional boundaries.

He regarded Vivian with an icy gaze and said indifferently, "Investigating cases falls under our responsibilities as police officers. Your cooperation with the investigation is a civic obligation. "Since I'm not on duty today, I'll visit you when I return to work."

"It needs to be now. I won't arrange for you to meet him at any other time," Vivian threatened.

"Do you truly believe I'd break a promise to my girlfriend just to get a clue from you, especially when there's no guarantee it's even accurate?"

Vivian glared at Daniel with indignation.

"Your tactics won't sway me, so don't even think about it," Daniel stated calmly. He reached for Sienna's hand and led her forward.

Vivian seethed with rage, her eyes ablaze with anger as she exclaimed, "Don't you care about solving the case?"

However, Daniel paid her no attention.

As they slowly walked away, Sienna glanced back at Vivian, who stood as still as a statue. Even from a distance, she could sense the intensity of Vivian's stare.

worry about me. I have total faith in you, and it doesn't bother me."

Daniel smiled and replied, "This is where I draw the line."

Sienna looked puzzled. "Is it that big of a deal?"

Daniel cto a halt, turning to face Sienna directly. His words carried weight as he said, "Sisi, in our line of work, we can't afford to be manipulated by witnesses of

informants.

"If she can leverage a clue today to forceinto breaking a promise to my girlfriend, what's to stop her from doing it again? It'll only becworse." Sienna nodded earnestly.

He continued, "Certain informants might be in it for the money, and that's something we can handle within the bounds of regulation, But I'll never compromise my personal life, emotions, or tfor the sake of this job."

Sienna threw herself into his embrace. She wrapped her arms around his waist, gazing up at him with admiration gleaming in her eyes.
