Chapter 221 Conflict Breaks Out



As the saying goes, like master, like secretary. When it comes to pretending and concealing true feelings, these two are definitely world-class. However, it is true that the older ones are more comfortable with the topic of sex and know how to handle it better.

Shi Zirui stroked the back of her smooth hand, glanced at her watch, and said deliberately, "There are still ten minutes left. Do you have enough time?"

"It's definitely not enough, but we can make a quick decision." Chen Tinghan suddenly stood up, walked in front of Shi Zirui, and looked down at her.

This made her feel uncomfortable. Although her face was calm, some instinctive reactions were still hard to conceal. She dodged backwards, causing Chen Tinghan to smile and say, "You're just like her, you're good at talking."

Shi Zirui was a little dissatisfied. She smiled and suddenly changed the subject, saying, "There's still some gap between the eldest lady and me. At least she and the young master are in love with each other. And when it comes to pretense, who can outshine her?"

"Be careful or I'll sue you." Chen Tinghan said with a smile.

"It's true. I'm almost old enough to be her mother. Can you believe it? When I first met Miss Wang, she was still a dumb baby, and I was at the peak of my powers. Now, in the blink of an eye, her charm as a woman is about to surpass mine." Shi Zirui rubbed her ankle, suddenly took off her high heels, and said:

"For example, these high heels. Even today, I still can't get used to wearing them, but she can wear them all day long, like a machine made of iron, without getting tired."

As she spoke, her toes under her flesh-colored stockings kept opening and closing, twisting to soothe them. She said, "It feels very stiff. Do you want to touch it?"

If it was Chen Tinghan who had just been reborn, he would most likely be timid and retreat in the face of such teasing. However, now he seemed to have cast aside all moral concerns, pulled over a chair, reached out to hold her feet, placed them on his knees, and touched them.

Shi Zirui was shocked. She didn't expect him to be so rude and bold. She felt regretful for playing with fire and subconsciously wanted to retract her foot, but was restrained by Chen Tinghan.

He said, "You're not like Wang Jinling, you're a minor. She flirted with me, and there are certain boundaries I can't cross, so I'm always hesitant. But you're here, it's another story. I'm not a pushover. I'd rather take advantage of someone who's been sent to my door."

Having said that, his actions seemed ambiguous and aggressive, but in fact, it was just a simple touch, and then he let go very knowingly.

Chen Tinghan is not a fool who loses his sense of proportion in the face of beauty. If he takes advantage of it just right, he will gain benefits. If he continues to do so, he will expose his weakness.

Who knows, could this woman's current nervous and withdrawn appearance actually be a disguise?

Shi Zirui looked at him, suddenly smiled, and said, "You are truly a 'gentleman'."

"I can't say, I'm just afraid of the honey trap." Chen Tinghan said, "To be honest, I'm not afraid of anyone in the Wang family right now, but you're in my blind spot, a blank slate. If you use some tricks, I'd really be a little scared."

"You're too kind." Shi Zirui put her feet back into her high heels and regained her composure, as if the embarrassment just now was just an illusion. She said, "The plan you decided on this time is amazing, but also makes me feel a little scared. You are as skilled at using a knife to kill as she is at it."

"I'm afraid too because I'm taking risks." Chen Tinghan shook his head.

"There are risks in everything we do." Shi Zirui responded calmly.

Then the two of them fell into silence. Strictly speaking, Shi Zirui and he were not from the same world. The only common topic between them should be Wang Jinling, but she was not someone who could be used as a topic of conversation.

Time slipped by quietly as Chen Tinghan waited. Suddenly, he felt something strange. It was already about five minutes past the agreed time, and Old Zhou was actually late? This was a rare occurrence for the always punctual Zhou Jinwei. Normally, he should have arrived around the same time as him.

Looking at the completely dark sky outside the window, Chen Tinghan felt a ripple in his heart. Perhaps it was the scenery that moved him to his emotions, he always felt uneasy.

Another five minutes passed, and just as he picked up his phone and was about to make a call to inquire, a call request suddenly popped up on the phone interface, interrupting his action. Before he could answer the call, the door of the private room was suddenly pushed open violently.

It was Qin Yehai. He had obviously been running all the way here, sweat dripping from his forehead. He looked panicked and shouted, "Boss Chen, something's wrong!"

Chen Tinghan looked at Qin Yehai, then at his phone. After seeing the name on the caller ID, he decided to put Qin Yehai aside for the time being, answered the call, and turned on the hands-free function.

"Something happened, something happened!" Cheng Weiwei's anxious, crying voice came immediately: "Home, home, home..."

"Sister Weiwei, don't be anxious. Take your time." Chen Tinghan was nervous, but he calmed her down and said, "Take a deep breath first, listen to my voice and instructions, and take your time. One, two..."

Cheng Weiwei paused for a moment, as if she had been struck by a sudden disaster. She was completely panicked, but eventually she calmed down and recounted the whole story as calmly and clearly as possible: "Something happened in the village. Half an hour ago, Brother Dayong was searching for the village as usual. When we were walking up the mountain road, for some reason, we got separated from the rest of the team and lost contact for a while at a fork in the road. As a result...

Ten minutes later, the team found him on the side of the mountain road. He was covered in blood and had been seriously injured. He had been sent to the hospital.

Chen Tinghan took a deep breath and didn't ask about Cheng Dayong's injuries. Instead, he asked the most crucial question and instructed, "What's the situation in the village now? Is your uncle with you? Give him the phone and tell him to calm the villagers down and not let them act recklessly."

"It's too late," Cheng Weiwei cried, "The villagers have already organized a group of people. They drove out of the village in several cars and went to find the group nearby to bring them to justice!"

Chen Tinghan suddenly felt a headache. He rubbed his temple and said after a short silence, "I understand. I'll take care of it."

He hung up the phone and made a quick decision, saying to Qin Yehai, "Can Lao Zhou spare some time?"

"It was an emergency and he wanted to lead the team there himself, but the jurisdiction was too far away and he had to report and apply, so I was afraid it would be too late." Qin Yehai explained quickly.

"How about this? You take the Qin family and immediately send them to the scene. Arrange one or two people in police uniforms, and the others in plain clothes. Set up some excuse and pretend your men just happened to be there."

Chen Tinghan said: "After that, first control the people, press the people from the Cheng family, look at the conflict at the scene, suppress the injuries, and make sure no one dies.

Also, I owe you a favor. I'll use my connections to take this matter over. Don't put it under that jurisdiction. That would be too passive and would cause problems."

"I'll do it right away." Qin Yehai turned and ran away.

Chen Tinghan was left staring deeply at Shi Zirui, who was staring at her phone with a frown on her face.
