The girl who had been held hostage almost collapsed to the ground when she saw that the danger had passed, but Qian Lai caught her.
"You...?" The girl sobbed, still shaken. "I really thought you were in cahoots... Comrade, what's your name? I want to write you a letter of commendation."
No way!
Qian Lai couldn't be happier that no one knew she had been here.
The capture of a tomb-raiding gang at an abandoned factory in the dead of night will likely make the news very soon. If Qian Jiangang and Qin Hongxiang find out that they were also at the scene, then all their plans will fall apart.
"That's not important! Go call the police!"
Qian Lai told the girl the location where Lao Si had hidden the stolen goods and took her to the hotel's phone booth. By the time she hung up the phone, Qian Lai had already disappeared.
On the other side, Captain Xiao of the Criminal Investigation Team was holding Qiao Muting's hand and thanking him profusely.
"Comrade Qiao, if it weren't for your keen observation, you could have spotted the wanted criminals just by buying a newspaper. We might not have been able to catch these guys so easily. Thank you so much!"
Qiao Muting's mind was wandering; he just wanted to get back to "Little White Rabbit" as soon as possible, and he had a hundred questions on his mind.
What's her name?
Where are you from?
What are you doing here all alone on such a dark night?
I just saw her staggering forward, where was she injured?
...
After searching around, the girl was nowhere to be found.
He should have turned back and gone after her. That one wrong decision could have cost her dearly.
Later, he heard that a girl had called the police and revealed the whereabouts of the fourth brother who had escaped the case and the stolen goods. He rushed over excitedly, but the person he saw was not the one he expected.
After hearing the girl who called the police recount the whole incident, he became even more panicked.
That was so close! She was really brave.
He raised his hand and touched the tip of his nose, and the unique fragrance of gardenias emanating from the woman still lingered.
It was late at night when he returned to his hotel room. He took off his shirt, which still carried her faint scent. He covered his head with it, closed his eyes, and pretended that she was right beside him.
He took a deep, greedy breath, his body trembling slightly.
Damn it! You're seriously ill!
He cursed himself again.
But moral boundaries cannot restrain willpower, and in a daze, that person gently enters my dream.
In his dream, that soft, boneless body pressed tightly against his strong chest. Strands of her hair gently brushed against the corner of his lips, her nose occasionally touching his Adam's apple. Slender, white fingers, scented with gardenias, lightly caressed his face.
The girl glanced up casually, as if inviting him.
A pair of large hands grabbed her playful yet soft little hands, pulling her arms behind her back and drawing her close. The girl's hands were clasped behind her back; she neither struggled nor tried to escape. Her eyes, filled with deep affection, gazed at him with the same longing he held for her.
Countless of his dead cells were activated.
At this moment, his willpower was making a desperate struggle. Just as he was about to let go, her slender arms wrapped around his neck, and her pink and moist lips locked his lips before he could even ask for his consent.
At this moment, fine beads of sweat from the man's brow clung to his skin. To him, it was no longer poison, but rather, a welcome relief!
My throat involuntarily swallowed.
He then realized, where was his reason?!
"ah!"
He woke up with a start, only to find his shirt crumpled into a ball.
Damn it! These are hotel sheets!
He was breathing heavily, too afraid to close his eyes any longer.
He swept the shirt, which carried a unique scent, across his chest with both hands, and felt a sense of comfort in his arms and chest.
Ugh, here we go again!
I couldn't fall asleep anymore. I thought to myself: I need to get down to business first thing tomorrow morning.
