Cinderella Innocent and Boss Charming - Chapter 122
Chapter 122 Investigate Thoroughly to Find Out Who Was the Mole
At this time, Jiang Kaiwei, Shao Boqing, Ling Yun, and Zhou Ting all rushed over. Seeing that Shen Li was hugging a little girl in his arms, while a curtain-wrapped man was lying on the ground and Gu Nianbin and Du Xiaoxian were nowhere in sight, they all looked at Shen Li with puzzled expressions.
Especially Zhou Ting. Apart from being puzzled, she also looked at Shen Li with some other meaningful expressions. Shen Li quickly let go of Wang Qian and explained, “She was scared, so I…”
Zhou Ting glanced at him and said, “I didn’t ask that. Where is my boss?”
“In the room.” Shen Li pointed at the door that was unlocked.
Zhou Ting was about to walk over when Shen Li suddenly grabbed her and said, “Don’t go inside!”
“What’s wrong?” Zhou Ting was puzzled.
Shen Li wanted to laugh but tried to suppress it. He held her hand tightly and said, “Don’t go inside, just listen to me.”
Zhou Ting whispered, “Are they quarreling inside?” Thinking of the scene in which Du Xiaoxian acted like that, Zhou Ting could imagine the expression on her boss’s face at this moment. She shuddered a little due to fear. Du Xiaoxian made him a cuckold so publicly. Any man who had been treated in this way would be so irritated that they wanted to kill people!
Jiang Kaiwei and the others looked at Cheng Mingchi, who was still struggling on the ground. Jiang Kaiwei bent down and carefully looked at the knotted string on Cheng Mingchi. He clicked his tongue and commented, “This is obviously Old Shen’s way of knotting.”
Ling Yun squatted down and asked Shao Boqing to help him press down on Cheng Mingchi’s twisting shoulders. He placed his hand on Cheng Mingchi’s neck and checked his pulse and body temperature. Then he lifted his eyelids to check the scarlet red in his eyes and said, “He’s been drugged by the number three. It seems a bit serious. He needs the antidote urgently, or his brain will be burnt.”
Zhou Ting asked innocently, “What is the number three?”
Shen Li said briefly, “Philter.” Then he said to Ling Yun, “You must have the antidote. Hurry up.”
Ling Yun glanced at him and said, “If I save him, will Gu Nianbin find trouble with me?”
Shao Boqing said, “Just save him now. We’ll talk about that after we save him.”
Ling Yun said, “Alright, leave him to me.” After saying that, he called his men over to take Cheng Mingchi away.
Shen Li asked him, “Didn’t you find anyone suspicious down there?”
Ling Yun shook his head and then kicked Cheng Mingchi. “Isn’t him the one you told me to pay attention?”
Shen Li asked Wang Qian, “How many were they?”
Wang Qian said, “Three women and one man. Three of them are my classmates, and one of them is Yang Liying’s cousin.”
Jiang Kaiwei cut in and asked, “Is Yang Liying’s cousin called Xia Xiaowan?”
Shen Li nodded and asked Wang Qian again, “Do you know their addresses?”
“I know Yang Liying and Liu Tiantian’s.”
Ling Yun said, “It doesn’t matter, as long as we have the names. None of them are from ordinary families, so it’s easy to find out their addresses.”
As he spoke, two people entered through the door. They were Ling Yun’s subordinates and carried Cheng Mingchi out from the ground.
Zhou Ting realized at this moment and exclaimed in whisper, “Then wasn’t Xiaoxian drugged as well? We need to give her the antidote quickly!”
Shen Li uttered a hush while pressing his finger on his lips and said, “Gu Nianbin is her antidote. We don’t need to worry about her anymore. He will take care of Du Xiaoxian.”
Zhou Ting blinked her eyes and suddenly understood. She glanced at the unlocked door. Secretary Zhou now began to drive others away with due diligence, “Let’s all leave here now. Let’s talk in another place.”
After Cheng Mingchi was taken away, there was of course no need for everyone to stay here anymore. Hearing Zhou Ting’s words, they all consciously walked towards the door. Only Wang Qian muttered, “So Xiaoxian is with Mr. Gu! No wonder…”
Shen Li said to Shao Boqing, “If you have nothing else to do, send Miss Wang back. She was frightened today. You can buy some snacks on the way for her to get over the shock.”
Shao Boqing agreed and whispered to ask Wang Qian about what happened that evening. Wang Qian answered his questions one by one, but she looked back at Shen Li reluctantly.
Seeing this, Zhou Ting gently bumped into Shen Li’s arm and said, “You’re finished. The little girl has taken a fancy to you.”
Shen Li squinted at her and asked, “Have you taken a fancy to me?”
Zhou Ting frowned and heavily bumped into him again. “You still have the mood to joke after such a big incident.”
Shen Li raised his eyebrows. “Didn’t you joke about me first?”
Zhou Ting lowered her voice and said, “Was I joking? I was telling the truth!”
Shen Li sighed and didn’t answer. Instead, he said to Jiang Kaiwei, “There is a mole in the hotel. We need to investigate thoroughly.”
Jiang Kaiwei nodded solemnly. He had also thought about this. Those people could come without being noticed and escape unscathed. Everything was planned perfectly. The most inconceivable thing was that he didn’t see Xia Xiaowan in the surveillance video. Although he had a vague impression of Xia Xiaowan at the dance last time, he wouldn’t miss a woman who looked like Xia Xiaowan!
Gu Nianbin felt the underwear on Du Xiaoxian in the darkness and heaved a sigh of relief. It was as if his entire body had been instantly drained of strength. Once his rage and despair were suppressed, all that remained was exhaustion and fear after the event. However, Du Xiaoxian’s strength seemed inexhaustible. She wrapped around his body like an octopus, groping for his lips.
Gu Nianbin pushed against her forcefully and shouted in a low voice, “Xiaoxian, it’s me…”
“Brother,” Du Xiaoxian’s seductive voice was filled with pain, “I feel uncomfortable, I’m so uncomfortable…”
“I know. Keep sober up and listen to me…” Before he could finish his sentence, Du Xiaoxian had started to kiss him. She usually kissed him very lightly like a dragonfly flying past the water surface. She rarely kissed him so enthusiastically. She sucked on his lips like a toothless little beastie, using all her strength to suppress down on him. Gu Nianbin was turned over and pressed down by her in a somewhat embarrassed manner.
After the philter took effect, Du Xiaoxian actually had lost all her sanity. The clamor in her body left her at a loss what to do. She wished she could split herself apart and let out the endless burning flames. However, with a trace of weak intuition, she tightened her grip on the last piece of cloth on her. Fortunately, Cheng Mingchi was slightly soberer than her. His body was out of control, but he kept shouting in vain, “Xiaoxian, push me away… I am Cheng Mingchi, you must push me away… Think about Gu Nianbin, the person you like is Gu Nianbin…”
The name made her feel familiar and warm. It was like a flash of lightning that cut through the endless night. She was confused and helpless. She kept twisting her body and struggling with her brain. She didn’t know how long she could last, but she just gritted her teeth and endured the pain in her body that seemed to be about to explode.
However, the familiar voice seemed to come from the horizon. But the warm embrace was near and real. Du Xiaoxian felt like she was a fish that had been thirsty on the shore for a long time. Then she was suddenly thrown into the vast ocean. She was enveloped by the seawater and nourished. The cold seawater slowly extinguished the burning fire in her body. Each of her pore was smoothened, she felt so comfortable that she only wanted to indulge in it…
After Shao Boqing sent Wang Qian home, he drove aimlessly through the streets late into the night. Too many things had happened tonight, and his heart was a little uneasy. It felt like a ball of wool had scattered chaotically for no reason in his heart. He just couldn’t sort it out.
The matter unexpectedly involved Xia Xiaowan. From Shen Li’s analysis, Xia Xiaowan should be the mastermind of this incident. He never expected that Xia Xiaowan, who had a gentle smile, would be so dark and sinister in her heart. Just as the saying goes that people cannot be judged by their appearances, and the sea cannot be measured by a bushel. Sometimes what the surface looks like is not necessarily true. Shao Boqing thought about himself. He had broken up with too many women in his life, among whom there were also many women who didn’t want to let go or even cried tearfully when they parted. However, no one had ever retaliated against him in the way Xia Xiaowan had done to Gu Nianbin.
Was that true? He frowned, and his heart seemed to be even more confused.
It was already early in the morning. Apart from the street lamps that were still diligently illuminating the surrounding area, everything else seemed to have sunk into a dreamland and looked extremely peaceful. Only his heart was in a mess. As if the quieter the surroundings were, the more irritable he became. The withered yellow leaves cracked under the car like thin shrimp chips being crushed.
He remembered that in the past, every time he took Nina to Hongsixi for hot pot, she always liked to order a large plate of shrimp chips. She would cook half of them in the hot pot while having the other half directly without cooking. Her slender white fingers reached into the tender yellow shrimp chips as if they were about to melt into the food. She pinched two pieces of shrimp chips and put them into her mouth and chewed them. She giggled and laughed with him, revealing her pure white teeth, like a playful little girl.
It turned out that he remembered all those trivial details, but Shao Boqing was even more furious. He always treated women gently and kindly, but he was very proud in his heart. Why should he remember these things? Why was her image pestering him like a ghost? He had never cared about a woman like this, but why would she pop out in his mind all the time!
Shao Boqing stopped the car on the side of the road in frustration. His entire body was on the steering wheel, and he accidentally honked the horn. In the quiet night, it sounded exceptionally loud, almost startling himself into a shudder. Looking around blankly, he discovered that he had somehow parked at the intersection near the community where Nina lived.
Shao Boqing lit a cigarette, rolled down the window, and allowed the night wind to mess around his hair. He seemed to have a grudge against the cigarette, for every move of his smoking was filled with deep indignation. The cigarette head shone like a resplendent ruby, but then it quickly dimmed down. Finally, the cigarette butt was flicked by his fingers and fell to the ground in an arc in the darkness.
He restarted his car and slowly drove into the community. The distance between two street lamps on the roadside in the community was quite long. They were all emitting a dim yellow light, not much brighter than his car light. He drove extremely slowly, as if there was still something he hadn’t figured out. He was a little hesitant and uncertain…
The maze-like square buildings were even more confusing in the middle of the night, but Shao Boqing found the building where Nina lived very smoothly. Looking up from the window, he saw all the windows were black and everyone was asleep. He opened the car door and got out, then he stood under the starry sky to look up at the dark windows. He didn’t know if it was because he raised his head or because he drank too much, but his head was a little dizzy.
Even though he clearly knew that she was asleep, he still lifted his foot and walked towards the unit door. The dark corridor was like a mouth of a giant beast. Shao Boqing walked in step by step like this. Strangely, at this moment, his heart was very calm. Was it because he was close to her? Shao Boqing had always told others that Nina was the best secretary, because she could always soothe his emotions. No matter what troubles he had, as long as she gave him a charming smile or gave him a shoulder massage, those troubles would fly away.
Almost all the voice-controlled lights in the corridor were broken. He felt his way in the darkness, and his footsteps were very dull. It was as if he had returned from a long and tired day. Finally, he arrived at her door. It was quieter here than outside the building, and even the sound of his breathing could be heard clearly. Shao Boqing fumbled for the cigarette in his pocket and wanted to smoke, but then he remembered that he had left his cigarette in the car.
He gently placed his hand on the door and did not knock. But then, the door suddenly opened.
