Chapter 192 A Moment of Tenderness
Cheng City.
Inside the hotel.
It was already eleven o'clock in the morning.
Shen Tinglan leaned against the big boss's back and poked him with her finger: "Why don't you go to work?"
Lin Zhizhou grabbed her hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm waiting for a call."
Waiting for the arrival of foreign medical expert teams.
The situation became increasingly clear and tense. Lin Zhizhou leaned against the headboard of the bed and thought deeply with his dark eyes.
He put his arm around the little woman's shoulders and said, "Stay with me these few days." His tone was particularly cautious.
Shen Tinglan looked up at him, his brows furrowed. He raised his finger and pressed on the top of his brow: "What's wrong? Is there danger? Is it because of the case we are investigating now?"
"It's okay. Judging from the current situation, everything is fine." After Lin Zhizhou said that, he pulled the quilt for her to cover the area below her shoulders.
When Shen Tinglan heard this, he sat up again: "Is there danger? If I had known, I shouldn't have followed you here and caused trouble for you."
Lin Zhizhou's gaze fell on her round, fair shoulders, and then down to her delicate collarbone, where there were plum-red marks of varying shades, and his eyes gradually darkened.
Shen Chen said, "Everyone knows that Secretary Lin has only one weakness, Sui Sui. No matter where you are, you will become a handle to control me. At this special time, I feel most at ease when you are by my side."
Shen Tinglan thought of another meaning and said, "Doesn't that mean you're in danger too? Why is the patrol so thrilling?" She smiled gently and said, "But it's good to be by your side. I don't have to worry about you from such a distance. I can also be your bodyguard."
Lin Zhizhou saw her approaching, his gaze fixed, and he said in a deep voice: "The size of the benefits determines the coefficient of risk, no matter what level it is."
"but…"
The big leader paused again.
Shen Tinglan looked up: "But what?"
Lin Zhizhou turned sideways, his palm resting on her lower back, and lowered his head to let his lips wander around her neck. "But you don't have to be a bodyguard for now. I want you to be a firefighter."
Shen Tinglan turned over and dodged: "No, but I left in a hurry yesterday and didn't bring any clothes."
"I just placed an order for you online." He pinned the man down. "It'll take an hour to deliver."
Shen Tinglan lay on the bed and said, “But I haven’t asked Section Chief Chen for leave yet.”
The boss's words fell on her back: "I'll take care of it."
"But you have to be my firefighter now."
Shen Tinglan's feet were hanging on the edge of the bed, and he said with a wicked smile: "Secretary Lin, why are you so arbitrary?"
The senior leader spoke in a hoarse voice: "Nonsense, Secretary Lin never forces anyone. He is obviously polite and well-mannered."
Shen Tinglan clutched the sheets tightly and said angrily: “You are lying. You are obviously stubborn and do whatever you want.”
The little woman pretended to have a distorted expression, but her voice had already changed tone.
Lin Zhizhou's low laugh was filled with an indescribable feeling.
From time to time, he would tempt her with the words "Secretary Lin likes to eat people."
"Does Sui Sui like Secretary Lin?"
"Jiaojiao, you're so sweet. Secretary Lin likes you so much."
Wave after wave of sweet words from lovers made Shen Tinglan completely defeated.
Toes clenched, heart pounding.
At this moment, Lin Zhizhou chased her and asked, "Sui Sui, you haven't come back yet. Do you like Secretary Lin?"
Shen Tinglan had no choice but to follow him with closed eyes, deliberately pausing: "I like... I like... Secretary Lin."
The big leader took over the conversation again: “Love… Secretary Lin also loves Shen Tinglan… Tinglan.”
Shen Tinglan was brought to the clouds by the low, magnetic voice of his love words, and was intoxicated among the clouds.

"Has the clothes not been delivered yet?"
Just as Shen Tinglan asked, there was a knock on the door of the room.
Lin Zhizhou stood up and turned back to tell him: "Go inside and wrap yourself in the quilt."
Shen Tinglan made a face at him and smiled shyly: "I know."
Just a few seconds.
Lin Zhizhou walked to the bed with the bag, took out the clothes from the bag, and whispered to the little woman wrapped in the quilt: "Change clothes."
“I want Secretary Lin to help me change it.” Shen Tinglan said coquettishly.
These words made Lin Zhizhou's throat, who was standing at the head of the bed, start to tighten again. She rarely spoke like this. Usually, in such a situation, she would be in a very good mood.
He walked over with the clothes in his hand, his black eyes as bright as stars taking in the charming posture of the little woman.
The voice was gentle: "Good boy, come and put it on."
When Lin Zhizhou spoke, his eyes looked at her like honey. Shen Tinglan jumped over like a pupa, hugged his neck, and said sweetly: "Secretary Lin is so considerate. What should I do? The little clerk can't leave Secretary Lin."
"You're naughty again." Lin Zhizhou smiled and patted her buttocks.
Shen Tinglan gave him a chuckle, stopped joking, opened her hands, and waited for the big boss to help her get dressed.
After Lin Zhizhou took some clothes and put them on her, he looked at the time on his wrist.
At half past twelve, the medical team had about half an hour left to land in Chengdu.
He turned around and took out the pants from the bag, then held the little woman and sat her on his lap. He put the pants on her and said, "Get ready, let's go eat. It's almost time for dinner."
"Okay." Shen Tinglan answered without asking any further questions. Anyway, just follow him.
There was also a pair of white sneakers in the bag. Lin Zhizhou knelt on one knee and helped her put the shoes on: "Okay."
Shen Tinglan was so moved by his meticulous and thoughtful behavior that she stepped forward, hugged the big boss's arm and shook it: "Lin Zhizhou, you are so kind."
Lin Zhizhou hugged her and kissed the top of her head: "Darling, no matter how good I am, I am only good to you, and you alone."
After saying that, he took her hand and went downstairs together.
As Shen Tinglan walked, he wondered when he started to change.
He is full of sweet words. In the past, love was expressed through actions, but now it is a combination of actions and words.
He is good at speaking and doing.
She smiled down.
"Team Leader Lin." Yang Guicheng shouted from across the corridor.
It was too late yesterday, and the few staff members who came from Jiangcheng did not book a hotel in advance.
They simply booked a room at the same hotel as Xiao Shen. Originally, Xiao Shen wanted to take charge of booking it for them first.
However, there were so many of them, so Comrade Xiao Shen directly sent them a hotel link. It was the same as making a reservation online using identity information, which was more convenient.
When Shen Tinglan heard Yang Guicheng calling him, he wanted to pull his hand back, but his hand was tightly wrapped by a warm big palm and he couldn't pull it out.
He could only smile awkwardly but politely at Yang Guicheng and the three colleagues from the Discipline Inspection Commission behind him.
He said he had changed a lot. He never held hands in public before, but now he would hold hands and never let go.
Lin Zhizhou nodded and responded: "Secretary Yang, we will split up into two groups. Comrade Xiao Shen and I will follow the medical team to contact Lai Guoliang's family."
As they walked, they talked about how they had already arrived at the dining area on the second floor of the hotel. Shen Tinglan listened to what they were talking about and went to the service desk to ask for a private dining room to facilitate their conversation.
The waiter came over to lead the way, and Yang Guicheng nodded without answering for the time being.
After everyone sat down in the private room, the food was served and the door was closed.
Lin Zhizhou continued, "Secretary Yang, go to the Commission for Discipline Inspection and conduct a full video call so that Lai Guoliang can personally see his son and wife board the plane. But please be careful. The current situation is unclear and we're afraid of more trouble."
Shen Tinglan, who was sitting next to Lin Zhizhou, saw a pot of brewed tea on the table.
She stood up and poured tea for the leader. Lin Zhizhou took it, tilted his head back and drank it in one gulp. After finishing, he looked at her with a smile.
Shen Tinglan was about to sit down, but when she saw him looking at her and smiling, she poured him another cup. She lowered her head and thought carefully, she couldn't just have his tea, there was also the Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission.
He straightened his slightly bent legs again and reached for the cup in front of Yang Guicheng.
Yang Guicheng's face was solemn. "Team Leader Lin, do you mean that the Discipline Inspection Commission also—?"
"Hmm?" Lin Zhizhou looked at Shen Tinglan's hand that was reaching for the cup in confusion.
Shen Tinglan:?
I'm a little confused. Should I pour the tea?
Yang Guicheng took a look and quickly stood up. "Oh, Comrade Xiao Shen, you're too polite. I'll do it myself."
Oh, my aunt, how dare I drink the tea you poured for me?
The subordinate beside Yang Guicheng quickly took the teapot.
Shen Tinglan looked embarrassed and sat down again.
The senior leader leaned over and whispered, "Eat your meal well. You don't need to pour the tea. Only Secretary Lin can drink your tea."
Shen Tinglan blushed, turned away from him, and ate in silence.
Lin Zhizhou continued, "After all, this Discipline Inspection Commission isn't our territory." The senior leader paused, thinking, then added, "Lai Guoliang's next piece of evidence is crucial. It might even lead to a conviction. I suspect he'll get the news as soon as the medical team lands in Chengshi."
"I'm afraid they'll blatantly snatch people and evidence."
Yang Guicheng's face darkened. "I'll follow Team Leader Lin's instructions."
Lin Zhizhou was silent for a moment before saying, "Cheng City is his territory after all. Besides, he hasn't made any moves yet. We can only remain vigilant at all times. If there is any movement, I can't trust anyone here. I will contact J."
With this said, Yang Guicheng and his three subordinates felt relieved. If the J party intervened, things would be different.
