"Wash up? What kind of wash up are you doing at this time?" Chen Tinghan stood there and asked in confusion.
Shi Zirui at this moment was different from the formal attire Chen Tinghan had seen her wear before. She looked much more casual and unrestrained. Her sportswear was fitted to reveal her hot curves. Her proud peaks were firm and showed off her eye-catching presence, revealing her fair, slender, and just-right waist.
Below the waist, there is another set of alluring curves that you never see on students. They are well-proportioned and firm, like a ripe fruit about to fall, and also like a secret place, inviting people to explore further.
The most commendable thing is the healthy vitality that she exudes at all times. Because she had just finished exercising, her body was still hot and humid, and her face was flushed.
Shi Zirui sipped her coffee and said, "She said that although the facilities here are complete and new ones can be found immediately if needed, meeting you in a place like this all the time is a bit boring and monotonous. So the young lady wanted to wash up and invite you to take a walk outside and take a look around."
As she spoke, she handed the coffee brewed from high-quality coffee beans to Chen Tinghan. He shook his head, so she took it back, took a sip herself, and sighed with relief.
Chen Tinghan politely withdrew his gaze and then asked, "What about you, the majestic Miss Shi Ziruishi? Why did you come back so exhausted and sweaty?"
Shi Zirui smiled and said, "When I'm stressed, I want to exercise and sweat. On the one hand, it relieves stress, and on the other hand, it helps me stay in shape and in good physical condition."
It is indeed fruitful.
"You have perseverance. Many people are too lazy to move at this stage. After all..." Chen Tinghan praised sincerely, but halfway through he felt that it was a bit inappropriate and stopped in time.
Shi Zirui didn't care much and continued with a smile, "There's nothing to be shy about. No matter how hard you try to hide it, age is a fact that can't be disguised."
Chen Tinghan coughed, changed the subject, and asked, "So what pressure does Miss Shi have? Wang Kai? Li Ze?"
"Both, but right now, my biggest stress is what just happened," Shi Zirui said. "After working for the Wang family for so many years, there are some things I still can't get used to."
Chen Tinghan suddenly asked pointedly, "For example, ordering your men to break someone's legs?"
"Yes," Shi Zirui said gently, "I am attracted by the power displayed on this path, but I feel reluctant to use it. You can think of it as a kind of erratic behavior, wanting both."
"I think this is a good thing. Whether you have a bottom line or not is the difference between you and them." Chen Tinghan said, "Just don't be deeply intoxicated by it, and even enjoy it."
This sentence made Shi Zirui suddenly fall silent. After a while, she looked at Chen Tinghan and said, "Time flies. I have gone from being full of endless curiosity about the world when I was young to being confused about myself now. The most difficult unsolved mystery in the world is myself.
I am increasingly unable to understand some of my own emotions.
For example, I don’t know if the trembling I felt just now, as I stood there and watched that man howl, was from fear or excitement.”
Chen Tinghan responded to her silky gaze, but remained unmoved. Without any hesitation, he asked another pointed question: "Have you ever killed anyone?"
Shi Zirui looked at him deeply, then suddenly chuckled, her voice soft and charming: "You are so clear-headed! No tricks can fool you."
Then she said to Chen Tinghan from behind, "Miss, he doesn't know how to be gentle with women. Playing dumb and flirting won't work. You should handle it."
These words seemed to be just a rough disguise of Shi Zirui pretending to be weak, but Chen Tinghan still saw a trace of loneliness on her face, which flashed by. Just as he was about to say something, his vision was blocked by the black hair that seemed to be hanging from the horizon, and the refreshing body fragrance and faint perfume penetrated into his nostrils.
Wang Jinling lifted Chen Tinghan's face, making him look up at her, and said, "She has never killed anyone, nor has she ever ordered others to kill anyone, my kind person."
Then she let go and sat across from Chen Tinghan. Wang Jinling dressed up, but simply, in a black tank top, a light pink shirt, and off-white puffy casual pants. She raised her bare feet in front of him and said, "Help me choose a pair of shoes."
Chen Tinghan lifted her ankles and looked at her five crystal clear and slender jade toes, seeming a little absent-minded. He picked up a pair of shoes that Shi Zirui had given him and put his feet down.
"Help me put it on." She said seductively.
Chen Tinghan remained unmoved, crossed his arms and sat back down.
Wang Jinling wasn't upset. She smiled slightly and said, "Don't be so stiff. Believe me, I wouldn't offend a powder keg like you at a time like this. I called you here because I can prove that I didn't do this. It wasn't my plan."
"I believe it, or rather, I want to believe it." Chen Tinghan raised his head, rested his neck on the sofa, and said dazedly, "Someone wanted to kill Wei Yangrong to silence him. For a moment, I thought you sent Ji Yanghai to do it, but that doesn't make sense.
You were the one who notified me the moment the incident happened, and Shi Zirui arrived right away. After all the hassle, I didn't suffer any substantial losses, but you lost someone and inexplicably owed a debt."
"If you did it to suppress the Wang family and fight for power internally, there would be no need to send Ji Yanghai to kill and silence them. So you shouldn't be the direct planner of this scheme. It's too far-fetched to link Shi Kui and Xue Yan's distress to you."
Wang Jinling put on her boat socks and shoes, while Shi Zirui behind her combed her hair and tied it into a simple and youthful ponytail. She stood up and stepped on her shoes tightly. Although she had bought these shoes half a year ago, she had never worn them once. They were brand new from the factory and a little uncomfortable for the first time.
After tidying her clothes, she took Chen Tinghan's arm and said abruptly, "Ji Yanghai is investigating Wang Kai's affairs. He can't possibly have the time to come and kill an outsider. However, this matter is clever. Wang Kai turned out to be the victim. In the end, someone has to come out and take responsibility for this matter.
Regardless of whether Wang Kai finds someone to take the blame or remains silent, he will definitely take the blame."
"Is this plot targeting Wang Kai?" Chen Tinghan was somewhat shocked. "That Wanghai Emperor has always been good at ruling his people. The Wang family hasn't been so chaotic that the factional fighting would affect him, right?"
"It's essentially an internal struggle. However, if Wang Kai is dragged into this, he'll be furious. It's fair to say he has no choice but to be angry and punish some people. This will inevitably affect the internal balance. The Wang family might soon become a powder keg."
Chen Tinghan deciphered the information in these words, and after a moment, he asked the key question: "What problem is Ji Yanghai investigating about Wang Kai?"
"Hmm." Wang Jinling smiled sweetly, "If you go on a date with me, I'll tell you."
