Chapter 251 Don’t Force Yourself

"Thank you." The man couldn't help laughing, holding his cigarette sideways. "Good acting."

"Don't mention it, I almost got caught! This money... should I transfer it back to you?"

"No need." He walked out.

There was no sign of Chen Qing in the alley. The man turned in the opposite direction of the entrance without hesitation and saw her pretending to be indifferent.

Chen Qing walked faster and faster. She didn't know if it was her illusion or because she felt guilty, but she always felt that someone was following her.

In fact, it was so quiet around that I couldn't hear anything, only the footsteps and breathing, all coming from one person.

She turned a few corners in silence, and when the road came into view, she started jogging.

Just after running a few meters, a black Bentley flashed by at the entrance of the alley.

At the same time, a force came from behind and dragged her into someone's arms.

"What are you panicking about?"

She was stunned for a moment.

Jiang Jingyan hugged her, his eyes teasing, "Don't you recognize me?"

"Why are you here?"

"Find evidence." He didn't let go and continued walking forward with her.

Chen Qing nudged his chest with his shoulder, "Yan Baiqing's car..."

"Is he the only one in the city who drives a Bentley?" Jiang Jingyan bit her ear. "It's not him."

Half of her body was numb and limp, almost hanging in his arms. "What evidence are you looking for?"

"Whatever you're looking for, I'm looking for."

Jiang Jingyan took her to his car and locked it. The car was filled with her scent and the rhythm of her short breathing.

It caused my back to twitch.

Just as Chen Qing was about to speak, the man pressed down and kissed her madly. His teeth scraped the flesh below her collarbone, causing her to gasp in pain.

Jiang Jingyan looked up, his eyes bloodshot, revealing naked, long-suppressed desire.

The small and hot space became more and more arousing. He wanted it, and she wanted it too.

But the situation does not allow it.

Chen Qing shuddered and huddled in his arms, her lips stained with water. "Yan Baiqing wants to have dinner with me tonight, I can't stay too long..."

"Have you got the evidence?"

"Hmm." She buried her head in his shoulder and sniffed greedily, "There's something in the sound box of this erhu."

Jiang Jingyan placed his palm behind her head and rubbed it, with indulgence and doting in his eyes, "Great."

"Of course, I'm smart."

He laughed and said nothing.

When Lian Zhuo came to look for the suspect for the first time, he found something wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it, and he had no right to search for evidence privately.

Jiang Jingyan came here on a mission from the province, otherwise, with Chen Qing's negotiation skills, it wouldn't be so easy.

"Give it to me." He tidied her clothes and took the violin case. "It's not safe to leave it with you. You don't have to worry about what happens next."

Chen Qing wanted to say something but stopped himself, his tongue tasted bitter and the words were stuck in his throat.

He tilted his head, "Are you imagining things again? This involves my father, I can't just stand by and watch."

"Then my efforts were in vain. It's 60,000!"

"I'll give it to you." Jiang Jingyan stuffed the violin case under the seat. "Where should I take you tonight?"

"Xianxuan Teahouse."

"That's right, I want to go too."

He carried Chen Qing to the passenger seat and moved to the driving seat himself. "Seat belt."

Chen Qing tied his clothes neatly, put his chin in his hand and looked at him intently.

Jiang Jingyan has lost a lot of weight.

He was a man with deep facial features. Once he lost weight, his face became even tougher and sharper. In the eyes of others, he had an aggressive masculine charm, but in her eyes, he was tired and burdened.

"How many days have you not rested?"

"I get a lot of rest. I sleep well and sleep through the night."

Chen Qing knew that he was deliberately fooling around. His stubble had sprouted, and there was a thin layer of dark circles under his eyes, which showed that he was overworked.

She lowered her head and wanted to twist the back of his hand, but when she saw the needle hole, her nose felt sore and she covered it with her hand, "Nonsense."

Jiang Jingyan took her in his hand and played with her, "Have you received the notice from the school?"

"Yes."

The department head personally came to remind her that she must participate, otherwise she would not meet the requirements to join the Music Association.

Jiang Jingyan arranged this charity performance so hastily, on the one hand to facilitate the action, on the other hand, he had already considered what Yan Baiqing said last night. If there is really a mistake this time, the Jiang family will be in trouble and Chen Qing's future will be in jeopardy. He has to lay the groundwork within a limited time.

Chen Qing's professionalism is beyond doubt, and he has won many awards. He now has the ability, resources, and connections. The three words "Jiang Jingyan" are still quite valuable in the circle, so he will try his best to create a smooth path for her to fly.

After a forty-minute drive, we arrived at Xianxuan Teahouse.

Chen Qing looked at the sky fading into the dusky sky and said softly, "I'm leaving."

Jiang Jingyan looked at her and pinched her face, "Don't force yourself."

"Meng Hongwen will show mercy to Yan Baiqing, but not to you." Chen Qing's eyes reddened as he took a deep breath. "By the way, his current driver mentioned Secretary Hu this morning. Judging from his relationship with Yan Baiqing, he might know more details."

She closed the car door and said again, "I'm leaving."

A storm brewed in the man's eyes. He said hoarsely, "Don't do anything this dangerous again. I don't need your information."

Chen Qing obviously didn't listen and got off the car decisively.

When she reached the door, her feet felt weak and her head suddenly felt dizzy.

The waiter was quick to support her and asked, "Are you okay?"

She shook her head and walked up the steps.

The private room Yan Baiqing booked was on the fifth floor. He walked in right after Chen Qing arrived.

She noticed the direction he came from, which was not downstairs.

"You arrived early?"

Yan Baiqing didn't sit down, but took her hand and said, "There are two bosses here, I can't avoid them, will you accompany me to meet them?"

Chen Qing didn't hesitate. She preferred to have someone around rather than be alone.

The box we were going to was on the same floor, three rooms away.

When he was about to go in, the dizziness he had just felt came over him again. Chen Qing pressed his abdomen and saw a large patch of black fog in front of his eyes.

Yan Baiqing noticed something was wrong, leaned down, and lifted her head, "Chen Qing?"

She slid to the ground, limp all over.

Yan Baiqing picked her up and held her horizontally. With a gloomy expression, he ordered the people in the box, "Call an ambulance."

The waiter was the first to react and called the medical team in the teahouse.

At this moment, Jiang Jingyan just came out of the elevator.

He heard someone exclaim and looked up, only to see the staff gathered in a group.
