The familiar masculine scent enveloped me, and the moment our lips lightly touched, it was like an electric spark exploding, a current rushing from my lips throughout my body, and I forgot to breathe.
I instinctively tried to close my eyes, but then Fu Yanshen suddenly distanced himself from me and stared at me.
His deep, dark eyes were fixed on me, as if trying to draw me in. His breathing was rapid, his thin lips were pressed together, and his fists cracked as if he was trying his best to suppress the urge to kiss me.
His lips slowly approached mine again, his eyes probing as he looked me over.
It's as if it's asking: Is it okay?
I dug my nails deep into my palms, the heat on my cheeks subsided, and just as I was about to glare at him, he had already turned over and leaned back in his seat.
Fu Yanshen patted his pockets with both hands, probably looking for a cigarette pack.
In an instant, as if remembering something, he took out a small tin box from his white shirt pocket, opened it, and put a nicotine candy in his mouth.
The refreshing scent of mint filled the carriage.
This nicotine candy is a hard candy; it's not meant to be slowly melted, but rather chewed, making a constant cracking sound, as if it's urgently trying to vent or suppress emotions.
I turned my head to look out the car window, not wanting to think about anything anymore.
Fu Yanshen drove me back to my apartment.
At the door, I pressed the fingerprint lock to unlock it and looked at him. "Come in first, I'll change out of my suit and take it back with me."
"Okay." He nodded.
After entering the house, I went straight to the bedroom. As soon as I took off his suit jacket, a disgusting smell hit my nose, and I desperately wanted to take a shower.
I casually threw on a coat and went to the living room.
Fu Yanshen was standing on the balcony outside, tall and elegant, his back view giving people a lonely and desolate feeling.
Without thinking twice, I called out, "Fu Yanshen, I left your suit on the sofa!"
...
When I looked in the mirror, I noticed two faint hickeys on my neck.
No wonder Fu Yanshen was staring at my neck in a daze when we were at the police station.
Under the showerhead, I rinsed my body again and again, especially my neck and chest, which I rubbed until they turned red and I didn't stop until I saw petechiae.
I had to apply shower gel three times before I felt less uncomfortable.
After showering, putting on my nightgown, and drying my hair, I went to the living room to get a drink of water. The moment I opened the bedroom door, a cold male voice came from inside.
"...No evidence?...Detain her for 12 hours and forbid her lawyers from bailing her out."
It was Fu Yanshen's voice, chilling and piercing.
He was still standing on the balcony, his whole body like an ice sculpture, exuding a cold and malevolent aura.
As if hearing my footsteps, Fu Yanshen turned around, his coldness and hostility vanishing in an instant, replaced by gentleness.
“The police didn’t find any drugs at her residence, and there were no security cameras in the bathroom, so there’s no way to prove that you had any contact,” he said as he walked toward me.
I frowned. With Shi Jin's cunning, she wouldn't easily expose herself.
The murderer from northern Myanmar was about to reveal the mastermind when Shi Jin suddenly appeared, and he committed suicide. I still don't understand how she did it.
She can easily throw away the drugs she uses tonight; she won't be foolish enough to leave them at her place. Evidence of this would indeed be hard to find.
After thinking for a moment, I nodded, "I understand. It's getting late, you should go back now."
Looking up, I saw Fu Yanshen with his eyes narrowed, his chest heaving, his fists clenched, and his eyes burning with anger, fixed on my neck...
I understand now; it's his twisted and obsessive possessiveness towards me at work.
He can't stand any man other than himself touching me.
At this moment, won't you lose control and give me a good beating like you used to?
I involuntarily took two steps back, glaring at him coldly, "Fu Yanshen, what do you want to do?"
"Want to kill someone." He said slowly and deliberately, his eyes bloodshot and fixed on my neck.
I was startled.
He wouldn't actually kill that guy surnamed Gu, would he?
That man was only acting on lust at the first sign of pleasure; his crime does not warrant death.
"Fu Yanshen, just hand Gu Changkai over to the police. They've already beaten you." I advised him and went to get some water.
I had just taken a step when he suddenly hugged me from behind.
I instinctively tried to break free, but he held me tighter.
"Qiaoqiao, let me hug you, just... just once."
Fu Yanshen rested his chin on the top of my head, his iron arms tightly encircling my waist, his voice hoarse and magnetic as he pleaded with me.
It felt very humble.
As soon as he said that, his arms tightened around me, and he even used one hand to press down on my shoulder, forcefully pulling me into his arms.
It's as if he'll only be satisfied if he can press me into his very bones and blood, and become one with me.
With my eyes closed, I inhaled his scent, and for a moment I couldn't recall the unpleasant smell on that guy surnamed Gu.
About a minute later, I gritted my teeth, opened my eyes, and said, "Fu Yanshen, that's enough."
My words were like a remote control; he immediately let go of me.
"You're not angry, are you?" he asked cautiously.
I didn't say anything, and without turning my head, I walked towards the bar. "It's getting late, you should go back."
Fu Yanshen picked up his coat from the sofa. "I won't bother you anymore. Goodnight."
Before leaving, he added, "I'll pick you up tomorrow morning to go to the police station; there are still some procedures to complete."
...
Overnight, Shi Jin seemed to have aged several years.
I sat in the car and watched her walk out of the detention center's metal gate through a small crack in the window.
From a short distance away, one could see that her eyes were sunken, her gaze was empty, her face was pale, her lips were white and dry, and there were two tear streaks on her cheeks.
Could it be that she was abused here last night?
When she saw Fu Yanshen standing to the side, her empty eyes instantly brightened.
“Ah Shen…” Shi Jin was on the verge of tears.
She lunged at Fu Yanshen, but he dodged her in time.
"Ah Shen, I'm innocent! I could have gone out last night, but Sheng Qiaoqiao sabotaged me behind my back and wouldn't let my lawyer see me... Do you know how I got through that night?" Shi Jin covered her chest, looked up, and cried to Fu Yanshen.
This person really knows how to speak without hesitation.
They actually accused me of plotting against her behind her back.
"Shi Jin—"
"The iron bars on the detention cell are just like the iron bars in the water dungeons in northern Myanmar..." Shi Jin interrupted Fu Yanshen. As she sobbed, she looked around in terror, appearing very frightened.
“You know, after I was sold to northern Myanmar, I was locked in a water dungeon every day. The water was filthy, and leeches crawled all over my legs, sucking my blood. I was living a life worse than death… Last night, I didn’t dare close my eyes even once. I was terrified… Sheng Qiaoqiao must have tortured me on purpose. I have no grudge against her. Why is she treating me like this?”
"Ah Shen, you must stand up for me!"
As Shi Jin finished speaking, she became surprisingly self-righteous. She must have thought that the police had not found any evidence and that Fu Yanshen believed her, which was why she dared to do this.
