The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 2737

“You're playing with fire going out there on your own, girl. Next time, try to avoid
doing these field investigations solo, alright?”

Regina offered a bashful smile, well aware that they were just looking out for her.
Still, she believed in her own capabilities to handle the job just as well as anyone
else and had no intention of heeding their advice.

After polishing off a bowl of instant ramen, Regina felt the warmth seep back into
her body. She scooted closer to her senior colleague and asked, “This is my first
time handling a task like this. Where do you think I should start breaking
through?”

The others looked surprised. “Your first time! Why didn’t you have a mentor with
you for your first assignment? Whose team are you on?”

“Um, well, they all didn’t want to pursue the investigation any further, and I didn’t
want to give up, so I came alone,” Regina explained hesitantly, and they nodded
in understanding.

“I was just like you at your age, full of energy and determination. I wouldn't touch
a case unless it was a big deal or a wrongful accusation. But that's all water
under the bridge now. Even if your colleagues are hesitant to put in the grunt
work, they shouldn't have left you to fend for yourself here. It's always better to
have a partner, at least for safety’s

sake.”

“I get it. Next time I definitely won't put myself in a risky situation again. Thanks
for the heads-up,” Regina said, nodding vigorously as the veterans began to
open up.

“Did you do your homework on what used to be on this land before you came
here? You should look into the whole backstory.”

Regina nodded again, pulling out her little notebook.

“I did some digging. According to the records, the residents of the old
neighborhood moved out without a hitch, and they all received a pretty penny for
their troubles or were relocated to decent housing. Otherwise, this project
wouldn't have gone through so

smoothly.”

This was where Regina's real confusion lay. Normally, if the compensation was
right, residents were happy to move into new homes. Considering how much
time had passed, it seemed odd that someone would suddenly show up, acting
like they'd been swindled by the developers.

But when she looked into that man’s eyes, Regina felt ashamed for harboring
such dark suspicions. He looked so down and out; how could she entertain such
thoughts about him?

“You're right; the info we have is just what's on the surface. But you find it strange
too, don’t you? Why does that man seem so distressed?”
