Chapter Seventy-Nine: Exchanging Soft Humming and Low Singing

  Liu Tian went to report the results to Zhou Shi Ting, Wen Ze laughed and said: "It seems that the capital is not fixed, but it's a good thing in my heart. With just one simple sentence, the Discipline Inspection Commission and Public Security Bureau, which had been unable to intervene, immediately softened up. It looks like intimidating Yang Yi Hang was effective after all!"

  He imitated Zhou Yuanting's tone and spoke in a strange and awkward manner, instantly making Zuo Yuxi giggle uncontrollably. Liu Tianlai accompanied him with a dry laugh, thinking to himself: Is this really that funny? I think it's far inferior to my own jokes.

  Zuo Yuxi finally managed to stop laughing, and shot a reproachful glance at Wen Qian. Liu Tianlai was captivated by her radiant beauty, and hastily lowered his head to take a sip of tea, but in his heart he was filled with mixed emotions: if not for witnessing it himself, who would have thought that Zuo Yuxi also had such a charming and alluring side, unable to contain her laughter and revealing her coquettish nature?

  Looking at Wen Cang, who was still young and inexperienced, he couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion. The Wei Wang incident had unfolded from start to finish according to his script, with almost no mistakes. From the beginning when they caught those hooligans causing trouble at the soy milk shop, one ring linked to another, ruthlessly bringing down a thriving deputy director, leaving him without even a chance to turn over. Such tactics were truly shocking and terrifying! From Wei Chenfeng to Zhou Yuanting, not one of them was not an old and cunning character, yet they had been manipulated by Wen Cang at such a young age. His precise grasp of the ways of the world and human nature, his smooth operation of power struggles and intrigues, made one feel more and more chilled to the bone the deeper one thought about it.

  Liu Tianlai calmed his mind and complained half-truthfully: "Zhou Yuanting shouldn't have any suspicions, after all, his energy is now focused on the Qinghua Factory. Wei Wang is just a small character, and he will forget about it later. To be honest, Secretary Niu has taken advantage of this situation, handling the matter so beautifully, with reason and integrity, taking care of the overall situation. He must have left a very good impression on Zhou Yuanting. I'm the one who's miserable, first yielding to Wei Chenfeng, then yielding to Niu Guoqiang, and finally following Zhou Yuanting's intention to let it go lightly. Isn't this just showing off my rebellious nature? Who sees me, who hates me?"

  Wen Cheng smiled and said, "Uncle Liu has worked hard and made great contributions, he's exhausted." This was the effect he had deliberately created. On one hand, Liu Tianlai was at the forefront, attracting the attention of the opponent, confusing their senses, and covering up Wen Cheng's true intentions. On the other hand, at this point, Liu Tianlai could only stand on this side with all his heart and soul, without any retreat.

  "But it won't be long now, the script, actors and props are all ready, the good show is about to begin."

  Liu Tianlai's eyes lit up, and he suppressed his urge to ask. The topic shifted again, and they started talking about something exciting: "A severe warning within the party, removal from all positions inside and outside the party, Wei Wang has completely fallen this time. For someone like him, losing his political future is more painful than killing him, and it's not in vain that we've made such a big effort."

  Wen Cen shook his head, a hint of ferocity flashing across his face: "This is just a temporary measure. Wei Wang might still be dreaming of making a comeback in two or three years' time. Just wait and see, we've got the evidence of him inciting social idlers to smash shops and hurt people right here in our hands. When the time is ripe, we'll frame him for leading an illegal organization with underworld nature, and then bring him back for retrial on past cases. Embezzlement, rape, bribery, misappropriation of public funds - he'll be punished for multiple crimes, and even if he doesn't die, he'll lose a layer of skin. I'd like to see who will still dare to speak up for him then!" Liu Tianlai's heart skipped a beat, and he secretly wiped away a cold sweat. He was grateful that he wasn't an enemy of Wen Cen's. Seeing the latter's gaze fixed on him, he hastily chimed in: "That's right, we must eradicate the roots to prevent future troubles!"

  Haha, I'm just joking, Uncle Liu mustn't take it seriously

  Liu Tianlai bitterly smiled and said: "Yes, I didn't take it seriously!"

  Zuo Yuxi stood by silently, watching Wen Qian beat Liu Tianlai, with a faint smile on his face. He only spoke up now: "Wei Wang is just a small episode, it's not important. For the next few days, Director Liu, you can spare some effort and wait until Bai Changjian's matter has a clear direction, we won't have to be as cautious as we are now."

  Wen Ze stretched out his arms and arched his back, saying: "Left sister is right, the matter of Wei Wang can be considered as a rehearsal, in fact, it proves that everyone's cooperation is not bad, huh."

  Liu Tianlai seemed to have thought of something, his face slightly solemn, and said in a low voice: "What about that girl? If Wei Chenfeng finds her, she might expose everything." Liu Tianlai was only responsible for the police station's part, while everyone else was arranged by Wen Jian.

  "Last night, she was sent away and it's been spread outside that she went to another place to calm down after being frightened. Unless the situation in Qingzhou is settled, no one will be able to find her."

  "Perhaps I shouldn't say this, but having An Bojin participate in this way, won't there be trouble?"

  "The Security Minister owes me a favor and still has something to ask of me, he won't be so foolish as to betray us. Don't worry, whoever is in charge of Qingzhou doesn't have any influence on him, without benefits, there's no need to worry about that kind of person causing trouble." Seeing Liu Tianlai glance at Zuo Yuxi, Wen Chen stood up and smiled: "The Security Minister doesn't know the relationship between me and Director Zuo, there won't be a problem."

  Liu Tianlai knew there was nothing more for him to do. He stood up, said goodbye to Zuo Yuxi, and asked Wen Chen to send him off at the door before turning around.

  "Alright, you conspire against Lao Jiu behind his back. Be careful or I'll expose you. Hmm, Lao Jiu's temper isn't very good, is it?"

  Wen Qiang had just walked back, and Zuo Yu Xi was no longer in her usual calm and elegant demeanor. She had unbuttoned her light yellow coat, revealing the black silk clothes underneath, and was lying sideways on the sand, her legs in jeans round and slender, making one want to pounce on her at first sight. "I let you tell on me, I let you tell on me"

  Wen Cheng crouched down beside her head, raising his hand to scratch her itch, but Xi Yu Creek smiled and tightened her arms, turning her face inward. She left Wen Cheng with an infinitely tempting jade back. The black jeans hung on the ground, the delicate curve following the back suddenly tightening at the waist, then rising high at the hips, and the legs together without any gap. The special texture of the jeans made Xi Yu Creek's figure look so perfect.

  It was like appreciating a work of art. He stretched out his hand, across the inch or so of distance, along her long, jade back, waist, and hips, pausing for a second at her buttocks. Then it spread to her tight, double legs. Left Yu Xi's head was buried in the sand, Wen Qing's palm seemed to have magic power, the heat from his palm could penetrate through the distance and clothing barriers into her smooth and delicate skin, a strange feeling that she had never experienced before flooded her whole body, the annoyance and sultry heat that had been accumulating deep within her body wildly jumping in her chest and blood. As if in an instant, this sky, this earth, this world, there was only male and female, love and affection, you and me, chasing and indulging.

  Zuo Yuxi suddenly turned around, and Wen Qing's hand happened to be stroking back along the curve of her body from her leg, stopping at the position of her lower back. In an instant, her lower back became her front chest, and under the sudden movement, his palm just covered the tip of her jade peak.

  The two of them were shocked at the same time, their eyes met, and their eyes were filled with intense emotions that could not be suppressed. The warmth in their minds surged, and their fingers lightly applied a little force.

  "Uh-huh,"

  Zuo Yu Xi's cheeks were flushed, her starry eyes were drunk, and she let out a soft moan from her nostrils, covering the warm and mischievous hands on top of her, not letting them move. This sound was like the prelude to a grand play, and it seemed that after many twists and turns, countless streams of water would converge from all directions, eventually forming a massive waterfall crashing down from the ninth heaven.

  Do you still remember the tightly furrowed eyebrows of that young man when he was angry at the beginning of his emotions? Do you still remember the handsome side face of that boy when he laughed loudly during the bean rain season? The greenness of girlhood, the shyness of maidenhood, all gradually disappeared in the memories of the past after entering officialdom, and the calm and cold proud face became a common understanding of everyone as they moved forward on the official path.

  And all of this, in the warm and gentle eyes, hands, and under the body, turned to ashes, transformed into floating clouds, exchanged for a soft hum, gnawing at bones.

  He slowly lowered his head, and in the evasive gaze of Zuo Yu Xi, he approached her red lips. Zuo Yu Xi could no longer bear the chaos of her heartbeat, tightly closing her eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering down, like a green grassland blown by the spring breeze, mixed with a refreshing fragrance that wafted over.

  Just as their lips were about to touch, Zuo Yu Xi's hand suddenly contracted, and his fingernails left a few shallow marks on Wen He's hand. After waiting for a while, there was no expected contact, and he couldn't help but open his eyes to see Wen He's black and shiny eyes and warm smile within reach.

  "Director Zhang, what are you doing with your eyes closed? Just now I took a closer look and surprisingly there isn't a single small black spot on your face."

  Zuo Yu Xi's face turned bright red, she lifted her upper body and hooked her hand around Wen Qian's neck, gently flipping him over, pressing him under her body. She lowered her head, their lips meeting, tenderly entwining with each other.

  Good times, good knowledge

  Yu Xi let out a soft hum, her red lips leaving the warmth of his kiss, her head buried in his chest, her gentle breathing rising and falling against his, even through the thick layers of clothing, he could feel her astonishing elasticity and softness. Wen He lightly stroked her hair, his eyes shining with deep light, his spirit seemingly floating far away, yet entwined on this woman's body.

  The reeds are green, white dew becomes frost, the one I long for is on the other side of the water.

  Gently swaying, gently swaying, hair like clouds. Softly flowing, softly flowing, like mountains and rivers.

  Two people just gently hugged each other, tightly dependent. After a while, Zuo Yu Xi raised her head, her clear and bright eyes staring at Wen Ze, suddenly bursting into laughter, her slender fingers pointing to his nose tip, saying: "I'm a good person, you little scoundrel don't bully me."

  Wen Cheng leaned forward to bite her fingers, Zuo Yuxi laughed and dodged, taking the opportunity to sit up, her body tilted to one side. Wen Cheng supported his head with both hands, laughing: "Director Zuo, I'm a bad guy, born to bully good people."

  "Shameless!"

  Wen Cheng sat up and leaned against her ear, gently blowing a breath into her crystal-clear ear, whispering with a low, teasing tone: "With interesting people, doing shameless things, everything goes smoothly as desired."

  Well, I'm not good at ambiguous plays, so everyone can fill in the blanks themselves.
