"Then...what should we do?"
Zhang Haiyang stood up, walked around behind Li Jinhua, and patted her shoulder in a seemingly comforting manner.
He smelled the faint scent of osmanthus in her hair, and his heart raced.
"Don't worry, I've already pulled some strings to get it done."
His hand lingered on her shoulder for a few seconds longer than necessary.
"but..."
Li Jinhua stood there stiffly.
"But what?"
Zhang Haiyang walked around to her side and looked closely at her beautiful face.
"You know, this kind of busy work requires taking care of a lot of people."
Li Jinhua bit her lip.
How much money do you need?
Zhang Haiyang smiled and shook his head.
"It's not about the money."
His gaze began to roam freely over her body.
"Some relationships can't be built with money."
The office fell silent instantly.
Li Jinhua's face turned from white to red, and then from red to white again.
She understood Zhang Haiyang's meaning, of course, but with her parents in detention, she had no other choice...
"I...I understand."
Her voice was almost squeezed out through clenched teeth.
"If only you could get my parents out..."
Zhang Haiyang's heart was pounding; he hadn't expected things to go so smoothly.
He nodded, feigning seriousness.
"How about this, I'll grant you a day off tomorrow, and we can find a quiet place to talk in detail."
Li Jinhua lowered her head and nodded almost imperceptibly.
By this point in his recollection, Zhang Haiyang had already arrived at the entrance of the Sijiucheng Hotel.
He straightened his tie and walked in with his head held high.
"Principal Zhang is here?"
The receptionist greeted us with a smile.
"Your older brother just went out and said he'd be back later."
Zhang Haiyang waved his hand.
"It's okay, I booked the room a long time ago. By the way, has anyone arrived yet?"
The waiter nodded knowingly.
"The female teacher has arrived."
A smug smile appeared on Zhang Haiyang's lips.
He hummed a little tune as he went upstairs.
It's been three years. He's waited a full three years, and today his wish is finally fulfilled...
Standing in front of room 208, Zhang Haiyang took a deep breath and tidied his sparse hair.
He could almost see Li Jinhua's humiliated yet submissive expression as she waited for him in the room.
The feeling of controlling other people's destinies is even more intoxicating than being a vice principal.
He took out his key and gently inserted it into the lock...
Five minutes later.
Inside room 208.
Li Jinhua had her back to Zhang Haiyang, her fingers trembling as she put on her dress.
"Jin Hua..."
Zhang Haiyang sat on the edge of the bed, his obese body pressing a noticeable indentation into the mattress.
He rubbed his hands awkwardly, beads of sweat still clinging to his forehead.
"This time...this time I was too excited and too nervous. I definitely won't be like this next time."
Li Jinhua's fingers paused for a moment on the button.
She was cursing in her heart at that moment.
"You fat bastard, you coward, even in this state, you still dare to lay a finger on me..."
But when she turned around, her face had changed to a gentle expression.
"Principal Zhang, please don't say that."
She walked back to the bedside and took Zhang Haiyang's thick, fleshy hand in hers, trying to resist the greasy feeling.
"You've done a fantastic job, really. My husband isn't even as good as you."
Zhang Haiyang's eyes lit up, and the embarrassment on his face was instantly replaced by smugness.
He grabbed Li Jinhua's slender wrist with his other hand.
"Really? Even better than your man?"
Zhang Haiyang asked eagerly, his small eyes sparkling with a longing for affirmation.
Li Jinhua sneered inwardly, but on the surface, she showed a shy smile.
"How could that be? Principal Zhang, you're so charming..."
These words were like a shot of adrenaline; Zhang Haiyang immediately straightened his back, and the fat on his face jiggled.
He pulled Li Jinhua onto his lap.
"Jinhua, don't worry."
Zhang Haiyang leaned close to her ear, his hot breath brushing against her neck.
"Leave your parents' problem to me. As long as you 'take good care' of me today, they'll be out tomorrow."
Li Jinhua stiffened, barely suppressing the urge to push him away.
She tilted her head slightly, her eyes filled with deliberate anticipation.
"Really? Principal Zhang, you're not lying to me?"
"I, Zhang Haiyang, keep my word!"
Zhang Haiyang patted his chest and guaranteed it.
"I have everyone at the police station; it's just a matter of one phone call!"
Li Jinhua lowered her eyes to conceal the coldness within them.
She knew that these men liked to see women appear vulnerable.
So she gently leaned on Zhang Haiyang's shoulder, her voice so soft it could melt water.
"Then...could you make a call now? I'm so worried about my parents..."
Zhang Haiyang's expression froze for a moment, but quickly returned to a smile.
"What's the rush? Let's finish the 'important business' first."
His hands began to wander restlessly around Li Jinhua's waist.
"That last time doesn't count. This time I guarantee you'll be satisfied..."
Li Jinhua cursed the shameless lecher in her heart, but on the surface she showed a shy smile.
She gently pushed Zhang Haiyang's hand away, stood up, and deliberately and slowly unbuttoned the buttons she had just fastened.
