Bait

As expected, Chen Ling said, "It turned out to be Hu Yuanyuan."

Shen Zhen was surprised, "You know her?"

Hu Yuanyuan met Chen Yuan and Chen Chongzhou. They talked about cooperation in the Changshi Group President's Office. Most of the employees came in and out, and they met.

Chen Ling has nothing to do with shopping malls, not to mention Hu Yuanyuan, Liang Zewen seeing him is purely delusional.

He combed Shen Zhen's long hair with his left hand, spread it in his arms, the moonlight was hazy, and the rain and fog were heavy, which set off her innocence and tenderness, "Hu Yuanyuan is your best colleague in Changshi Group, isn't she?"

She looked eagerly at Chen Ling, "Yes."

"I don't know her, but I've looked into it on purpose."

Shen Zhen didn't understand, "Why investigate Hu Yuanyuan?"

"Don't worry." He cupped the ends of her hair with his palms, and it was wet from the rain. "You are too stupid to be cheated by your colleagues."

She lowered her head, then suddenly raised it again, "Third Uncle, you are so kind to me, just like Dad."

Chen Ling paused, Guo Aiqi's words came back again during the day, he couldn't hold back, "I'm so old?"

"It's not old." Shen Zhen explained, "It's a sense of security."

He didn't respond.

After a while, "Women choose men because they also care about the sense of security." Chen Ling lowered his eyes, and the woman squatting there was absent-minded and tugged at his trouser legs.

He pursed his lips, "Thinking about something."

"Third Uncle, I beg you for one thing."

Chen Ling knew what she was asking for, "The fate of the second child will not be too bad."

Shen Zhen was cautious, "Assistant Xue said that the transfer of public funds has nothing to do with him, he was framed."

"Whether it's relevant or not depends on the evidence. The law only talks about evidence, not personal relationships." It was rare for him to coax a woman patiently.

She plucked up the courage to ask, "Uncle Chen and Uncle Chen are big figures who cover the sky with their hands. What if they have the means to forge evidence?"

Chen Ling stroked the tip of her hair with her fingertips, and wiped it again with a towel, "Evil does not suppress justice."

"Then third uncle, can you let your subordinates take responsibility?"

He hummed, "Yes."

"I don't beg you in vain." Shen Zhen took out a note, "Let's make a deal."

Chen Ling was a little surprised, "Deal?"

She stretched it out, the note was one meter long, dangling and mopping the floor, many of the handwriting was wet by the rain, and the ink marks were scattered. He roughly swept it away, with smile lines, and asked knowingly, "Do you work hard?"

"Cooking, laundry, housework, driving, storage, massage, singing, hypnosis." She introduced seriously, "I will do whichever you need."

Chen Ling leaned on the iron frame beside the bed, "I don't need any of these, I can cook, do housework, drive and store without insomnia."

Shen Zhen admired Tuo Che, "You know so much." She pointed and sang, "Third uncle, do you know opera?"

The desk lamp is dim, with an old burnt yellow feeling, and he is also dim and deep.

With a little teasing at the end of his eyes, "You can sing?"

"Yes! I was still performing on stage when I was in junior high school." Shen Zhen stood with one hand on his hips and bent the other, his shoes tapped to the beat, "Brother Liu speaks a lot, but the reasoning is too biased. Who says women are not as good as men."

Unpredictable bad smell.

Chen Ling frowned and stared at her.

"If you don't believe me, look at me, our shoes and socks—"

The man raised his index finger and gestured to silence, Shen Zhen stopped, "Third Uncle, I haven't finished singing."

"It's too late, recruit dirty things."

Shen Zhen squatted down again, "Third uncle, do you believe in ghosts and gods?"

"I didn't believe it before." He confessed very frankly, "I believe you when you sing."

She said nothing.

Chen Ling leaned over with a smile, and took the note in her hand, "One is missing."

"Which one is missing?" Shen Zhen browsed through it from beginning to end, "I wrote everything."

"Que—" His lips moved, but there was no sound.

She moved her ears closer, "Third Uncle, I can't hear you clearly."

The boots stepped on the muddy water, the soles were slippery, Shen Zhen couldn't stand still, he slipped, his upper body leaned forward, and fell to the ground.

Chen Ling quickly hugged her, and the moment she hugged her waist, her chest was pressed against his chest, and her crotch unintentionally pushed against him.

This time, she didn't notice, she only cared about her balance, and Chen Ling felt it clearly.

Firm and soft.

In the air, a dark fragrance floats.

It is the elegant fragrance of jasmine, which comes from her.

As if possessed by a demon, the 197 National Highway that shook the mountains that night, his last kiss, and the explosion of yellow sand rolled towards him like a tidal wave.

He fell into a daze, gasped for breath, and his body temperature was getting hotter and hotter.

It is the excitement and enthusiasm of moths that are almost destroyed.

A numb and itchy hot stream condensed in the abdomen, and it swelled rapidly, which stimulated Chen Ling to regain his senses. His complexion changed suddenly, he pushed Shen Zhen away, and stood up stiffly.

Unaware of what had happened, she staggered and fell on the camp bed.

With his back to her, Chen Ling unbuttoned his pajamas, exposing most of his chest. He tried his best to calm down, "Yunzhi."

Gu Yunzhi was processing the case files in the secretary's hall outside, and hurried in, "Chen hall?"

"send her home."

He was astonished, and his eyes wandered repeatedly, "Miss Shen didn't eat dinner, I ordered beef noodles..."

Chen Ling went to the desk to turn on the lamp, but ignored it.

Gu Yunzhi knew him well, he must not like this kind of atmosphere, or he expected this kind of atmosphere to gradually slip into the abyss of getting out of control.

Chen Ling didn't like losing control, and was also afraid of losing control. In his world, losing control was the difference between life and death.

Therefore, he resists any situation that is out of control, even the slightest sign.

Gu Yunzhi signaled to Shen Zhen, "Miss Shen, I'll see you off."

She was also at a loss, and realized something, "Uncle San, I said goodbye to you in the hospital, and then I showed up again, are you angry with me?"

Chen Ling concentrated on writing the case file and ignored it.

"I promise I won't mess with you next time. I'm willing to go to the municipal office to clarify those rumors and return your innocence." After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked out of the office.

The moment the door closed, Chen Ling turned off the light.

In the pitch blackness, his tense body collapsed little by little, his hands resting on his forehead, in pain.

After a long time, he called Gu Yunzhi, "Leave after the light in her bedroom is on."

"I see."

Chen Ling was silent.

Gu Yunzhi didn't wait for the next sentence, "Chen Ting, you order."

"Go back to the provincial office and tell the guards and security that she will not be allowed to let her go in the future."

He glanced at Shen Zhen from the corner of his eye, "You mean..."

Chen Ling's voice was hoarse, "I don't want to see her again."

Immediately, he hung up.

Gu Yunyi was startled, and put the phone back on the center console.

Shen Zhen was very close, and she heard that everything was close to ten. She regretted it and angrily said to herself, "Secretary Gu, I have caused trouble for Third Uncle."

"Chen Ting is injured, it's your intention to accompany and take care of him, how can you cause trouble?" Gu Yunzhi turned around, "Chen Ting remembers Miss Shen well, but he is in a high position, and rumors and gossips affect him."

She lay on her knees crying, "Third Uncle protected me from my injuries. I should take care of him as a matter of course. I didn't expect that there would be scandals. I was worried that he would feel uncomfortable, but he was even more angry when he saw me than if he didn't see me."

Sure enough, men and women think differently, coupled with the 16-year-old age gap, and Chen Ling has always been indifferent, which made her panic.

"How do you think Chen Ting is angry?" Gu Yunzhi couldn't laugh or cry, "It's inconvenient to disclose the specific reasons. Ms. Shen is an outsider in Vanity Fair, so she can't understand Chen Ting's helplessness. His current status is doomed to him. Even if his colleagues are depraved, he can’t do it. He is a monument to the police force in the province, and he represents integrity. The heights at the top of the pyramid are extremely cold, and no one can escape the vulgarity.”

Shen Zhen raised his head slowly, "Emotions?"

Gu Yunzhi said seriously, "Yes, feelings."

The turmoil in her eyes disappeared for a moment, "Secretary Gu, the provincial government will spread the news of your wedding tomorrow."

"I'm newly married?"

"Married your sister."

Gu Yunzhi was puzzled, "Who is owed, it's too outrageous."

Shen Zhen looked towards the windshield, "Me."

"you?"

She nodded, "The security guard stopped me, I can't get in, there is really nothing to do."

This time, Gu Yunzhi didn't take it seriously, he felt that Shen Zhen was quite transparent, the kind of girl who was as wise as she was stupid.

She knows when to act stupid, what taboos cannot be touched, and what should not be delved into.

She looks innocent, but she has a shrewd account in her heart.

With Chen Ling's vision, ordinary women couldn't catch him.

Gu Yunzhi was also puzzled for a while, there are so many women who admire him, but he prefers the ordinary Shen Zhen dead tree to blossom.

In addition to saving him by accident, probably, it was also because of his poisonous eyes that made Shen Zhen unique.

He has no background, but Luo Sang's background is a very powerful boost to him, escorting his bright future.

When a man gets into this position, his love for his children is no longer worth mentioning, he only has self-interest.

Marry whoever is worthy.

From Chen Ling, Gu Yunzhi realized a truth - when a person reaches middle age, falling in love is like a flood.

No money, no certificate, terrible.

At noon the next day, Chen Zheng was handed over to the Chang'an District Bureau for interrogation.

The words of the leader of the task force made him thunder, "Mr. Chen, your wife, Ms. Jiang Rong, exposed you for manipulating the market, disrupting the province's economy, and causing bank bad debts. This is a serious economic crime. Do you plead guilty?"

"Jiang Rong exposed me?" Chen Zheng couldn't believe it.

The team leader played the recording, and it was indeed Jiang Rong himself.

During the [-] hours of the interrogation, Chen Zheng, who had always been calm and composed, also collapsed at this moment. He cursed agitatedly, "This poisonous woman! I was too merciful for not taking care of her back then."

"Who do you want to take care of?" The subordinate slapped the table, "How dare you be rampant! What kind of place is this, your family owns it? Remember, you are not the chairman of Fucheng Group who is calling the shots, you are a suspect!"

Chen Zheng sneered, "Jiang Rong doesn't participate in the company's management. We are not in harmony as a husband and wife, and we live apart all the year round. She doesn't even know what happened to her bedside. How can she know the actual inside story of the company? Can hearsay count as witnesses?"

The team leader and his subordinates looked at each other without making a sound.

"The second son engraved the official seal in private, with the purpose of replacing me and framing me. He plotted against his biological father, disregarded human relations, and had ulterior motives." Chen Zheng stared at them, "Now that the evidence is solid, if you don't arrest him and close the case, what are you waiting for? I'm here If the district bureau exceeds 24 hours, my legal team will sue you."

The team leader tilted his head expressionlessly, "Mr. Chen, are you sure that the new chairman Chen Chongzhou illegally transferred public funds?"

"It's not him, is it me?" Chen Zheng said impatiently, "Although he is my son, if he made a mistake, I should kill his relatives righteously."

The team leader waved, "Take them away first."

The subordinate watched him go out through gritted teeth, "This old guy is too ruthless, he really wants to drag his son to his back."

The team leader rubbed his temples, "Preventing confessions is not allowed at the moment, we must find a way to get Chen Zheng to confess on his own initiative. Report to Chen Ting that his elder brother is very treacherous and cunning. If he wants to pry his mouth out completely, it is best for him to do it himself."

***

On the other side, Chen Yuan stood in front of the living room window, overlooking the plum blossoms in full bloom in the courtyard.

After a long silence, he said unhurriedly, "Continue to hide it."

Yang Ji was one meter away from him, and the cold aura frightened her into a cold sweat, "I..."

"You are very smart and know how to judge the situation. Have you read "36 Strategies"?" Chen Yuan smiled, "I appreciate the trick of watching the fire from the other side the most, but not everyone has the trick to play it. It is wonderful and beautiful. , more is full of loopholes."

Her eyes were flushed, "My lord, I have a reason—"

Chen Yuan lifted the black silk cloth covering the fish tank, and several ugly fishes were swimming in the bottom of the water, "Who doesn't have a hard time in life. I forgive your hard feelings, how do you repay me?"

Yang Ji understood his hint, "My reward is that I will never betray you, and I will stand by you."

He threw a piece of raw chicken into the water, "That's naturally good."

The palm-sized fish actually had fangs, which tore the piece of meat to pieces in just a few seconds.

The smell of blood spread in the study, terrifying and weird.

Yang Ji almost vomited.

"I am determined to punish a person, and I am too lazy to talk nonsense with her. I am willing to expose you, but I leave room for it." Chen Yuan picked up his teacup and never looked back at her, "I will give you a chance to redeem yourself."

Yang Ji walked over and bent down.

He took a sip of water and pressed against her ear.

After hearing this, she turned pale with shock, "This...Miss Qiao will..."

"What will happen." Chen Yuan rubbed the cup wall, "I don't intend to do it, after all, there is an old relationship, and the Chen family couldn't forgive her at the beginning."

Yang Ji hesitated again and again, but did not expose the truth that Qiao Hanrun still had a daughter abroad.

Chen Yuan discovered that she had a relationship with Chen Chongzhou through the necklace with the wiretapping function. From this analysis, it was Chen Chongzhou who protected her, hid her, and waited for an opportunity to take advantage of her.

Chen Chongzhou temporarily lost power, but in this game, he has the upper hand.

When it comes to Qiao Hanrun, Chen Yuan's mind is also unpredictable.

His affection can be strong, light, dead or alive.

Therefore, she cannot expose the truth that he has not grasped before the victory or defeat is determined.

Qiao Hanrun went to Lingyuan International in the evening on the pretext of going shopping.

The servant was locking the door, she stepped forward to stop her, "Longlong is at home, what are you doing locking the door?"

"Didn't you send someone to pick up Longlong?" The servant was also confused, "This morning."

"I never sent someone to pick him up!" Qiao Hanrun was in a moment of confusion, she grabbed the servant's clothes, "Did you notify me? Why did you allow them to pick him up without authorization?"

Murder for money.

Kidnapping threats.

Premeditated revenge.

Countless reasons flashed through her mind, each of which disturbed her heart.

"What kind of car does the other party drive?"

The servant was frightened by her and said incoherently, "It's a silver-white Bentley with the license plate number Bin A09999."

Qiao Hanrun's legs softened and he almost collapsed on the ground.

It's him.
