Since Bear learned Ah Zi’s connection with the black market, he became disappointing.
“You favor her type.” Scar stared at her like a pervert. Xiao Si pointed at the picture of Ah Zi on the wall and said, “Gee, she has a baby’s face and a pair of great b.o.o.bs!”
Bear did not take any notice on them, and at the thought at they might be the ones to arrest Ah Zi, he no longer had hope for life. It was already hard to find someone to love, but now he had to send her in jail before he got any chance to court her.
“Do you remember the cartoon books in his drawer!” Xiao Si continued, “all this type of girl.”
Scar raised his head sadly and said, “What if one has a pervert comrade-in-arm?”
“I want to know what to do now.” Bear complained sitting on the sofa. However, seeing Jiang Rui pushed the door open and walked in, he jumped up and stand straight. “Boss, what brings you here?” he asked.
Jiang Rui told his concern about Ah Zi from his appearance. But when the woman at home came to his mind, her face turned cold.
“Xiao Si, go on contacting Ah Zi. Haven’t you place a drug order? Send an e-mail to her and urge her to deliver the goods.”
“Boss…” Bear prevented Xiao Si from speaking and said, “are you going to catch Ah Zi?”
Jiang Rui cast a glance at him and said, “I’ll give you a chance to disguise as one to make the transaction with her and lead her to tell you the whereabouts of Hei Feng. You can say that Ah Zi’s one of us when you write the report.”
Scar waved a fist at Bear and said, “good plan, and it will save your girl.”
“But… what if she’s unwilling to tell?” Bear said gloomily. Though he and Ah Zi knew each other only for a short time, he still believed Ah Zi was a faithful person. She asked him about Chen Chen, worrying that Jiang Rui bullied her.
Jiang Rui lifted his eyebrows and said, “then spread out the news that she was the broker of Hei Feng.”
Bear clenched his fist for he knew what Jiang Rui meant. Once the outside knew Ah Zi could get in touch with Hei Feng, then she would become the prey of the al-Qaeda, which would put Ah Zi in peril.
“Do you imagine no one knows her ident.i.ty?” Jiang Rui knocked on the desk and said, “she already fell into the trap.”
Since those people caught the people who contacted Ah Zi, the last letter asking for a transaction must be to induce Hei Feng. If Jiang Rui did not take action now, Hei Feng would still be unable to get away.
Bear naturally thought of it so he immediately went to contact Ah Zi with Xiao Si. This was the only way out to save her.
“Boss, once the news is sent out, I’m afraid it’ll attract many people,” Scar looked at him and said. “Should we transfer her to another place?”
Jiang Rui shook his head and said, “More people would be perfect so that they will test each other but no one will stand out to be the first one to take action.”
Those terrorists were not idiots and the capital was an important military base. An imprudent behavior would lead to a disaster of a holocaust. So they must wait and wait for the first one to seek his death…
“Don’t feel that I refuse to help you.” Jiang Rui kicked on Bear and said, “by then you can protect her.”
Bear grinned and said, “Boss, you are my idol. You arrange everything so well. If I can be with Ah Zi someday, I wish to clean the ammunition depot for a month!”
“Then tell me when you are going to clean it!” Xiao Si raised his head and interrupted, “I’ll paint them in advance.”
“Do your work!” Bear knocked on his head.
Xiao Si pretended to be the traders to contact Ah Zi, but they were refused.
“Boss, she said the transaction was canceled.”
Bear stretched his head in front of the computer and said, “What did you say?”
Xiao Si rolled his eyes at him and said, “I estimate that she began to suspect the one we asked to hack into her computer.”
“It seems her relationship with Hei Feng is not simple. In order to protect him, she’s willing to give up money.” Jiang Rui frowned and said, “she’s not Chen Chen whose computer is beyond our supervision.”
Scar suddenly said, “boss, you… mean sister might know it too?”
The atmosphere went in silence abruptly, and they looked at each other. But Bear opened his mouth to say, “Sister was so innocent that she can’t get involved with them.”
“Shall we… take a look at her computer?” Xiao Si proposed.
Jiang Rui bit his lips and shook his head after several seconds of thinking. “No.”
He knew Chen Chen so well. If she found someone monitored her, she must be mad and her only way to deal with her madness was to escape. At the thought of Chen Chen would leave him, Jiang Rui felt so cold that he would not allow that to happen.
“Eh-hem!” Xiao Si buried him in seeing the computer and said, “then I’ll get her to talk.”
After a while of thinking, Jiang Rui picked up his phone and was about to leave, “Let’s make the decision tomorrow. I’ll figure it out.”
Wen Pintang had just finished a meeting, he learned that Jiang Rui had come to visit him from his secretary. So he welcomed him amusedly.
“What business to bother him come in person?”
But ignoring Wen Pintang’s sneer, Jiang Rui sat on the sofa unreservedly and said, “let your computer master try to figure out Ah Zi.”
“So she hasn’t bitten the bait yet?” Wen Pintang smiled like a fox. “If I were her, I would do the same.”
“So I need your man to throw her off guard and don’t suspect us.” Jiang Rui lifted his lip corner, and said, “didn’t you say Ying Qingcang had returned back the tea you give to my mom?”
Wen Pintang looked at him and said, “deal.”
Jiang Rui knew he would not refuse. “Send the tea to my place later.”
“Wait for a minute,” when he was about going to leave, Wen Pintang uttered, “one more condition.”
Jiang Rui frowned and replied, “you know I hate talking about conditions.”
“Listen first.” Wen Pintang stood up. “Next weekend is Zeyu’s birthday. He wants to invite Tuan Zi.”
Jiang Rui squinted and said, “does your son have no friend?”
“Ay, you know he has a strange temper.” Wen Pintang shrugged his shoulders and asked, “so? Is that alright?”
“I can’t decide for her.” Jiang Rui pulled the door handle.
Wen Pintang smiled and said, “then I’ll ask Zeyu to prepare!”
When he returned home, Jiang Rui found Chen Chen lock herself inside the room, while Tuan Zi was watching TV holding a box of ice-cream on the sofa.
“Tuan Zi, Wen Zeyu invites you to come to his birthday party. Do you want to come?”
“I’ve said yes!” Tuan Zi threw the box into the dust basket in secrecy and said, “he has told me about this on WeChat the other day.”
Jiang Rui cursed Wen Pintang from the bottom of his heart and he decided to diss his son. “Then remember it. A girl shouldn’t play with a boy so easily. Yet you still can go but don’t let him feel that you like him very much or he will bully you.”
“Dad.” Tuan Zi looked at him seriously and said, “I think you insult my intelligence. I’m not a normal child, and it’s of no use that you coax me like this.”
Jiang Rui rubbed his eyebrows and again, he felt being too smart for a child would not necessarily be a good thing.
Jiang Rui couldn’t even handle his daughter, so he must handle Chen Chen.
He unlocked the door with the key, and as expected, the woman was sleeping soundly in the bed.
Chen Chen was dreaming, in which Jiang Rui had killed many people and he even said he would strangle her. Then he took her by the throat before she could explain herself so that she became short of breath. Knowing she would be dead soon, she cried and shouted.
“Don’t kill me and I like you!” Then she opened her eyes.
Jiang Rui pinched her nose, eyes filled with surprise that he couldn’t help to hide.
“Say it again. Who do you like?”
Chen Chen rolled herself to one bedside in panic and said, “no… no one, I just had a dream.”
“Who do you dream of?” Jiang Rui would not let her go.
“I… I’ve forgotten.”
“Forgotten so soon?”
Chen Chen insisted, “Yeah, some dreams will slip away as soon as I open my eyes!”
Jiang Rui’s face turned dark suddenly and asked, “Do you dream that little chicken?”
“Yeah, yeah!” Chen Chen nodded her head even though she did not hear clearly what he had said.
A cold voice came, “You like him so much?”
“Who?” Chen Chen just reacted to his question, seeing Jiang Rui’s black face slowly approaching her.
“I didn’t like him.” She tried to memorize what she had said, and answered him quickly, “I like the roles he played before.”
Jiang Rui had sat close to her and insisted on asking, “then who do you like?”
“I…” Chen Chen blinked her eyes and thought of what Ah Zi had said.
“Chen Chen, confess to the War G.o.d yourself so that if he learns that you’re Hei Feng, he might spare you from death.”
Chen Chen thought of some conspiracy theories and raised her head to look at Jiang Rui. “I like you!” she said.
Not knowing whether it was an illusion, she felt the coldness in Jiang Rui suddenly gone. The man patted her head and said, “I approve of your affection.”
“Thank you.” She said as a flatterer, rolling her eyes in her heart. Ah Zi was right that she should use honey-trap to handle Jiang Rui so that she would save her life.
Jiang Rui felt so pleased so he decided to cook a big meal for Chen Chen.
So the flattered Chen Chen had eaten boiled fish, fish head with chopped peppers and spicy hot pot at night. Tuan Zi kept looking at her with a look that his mother had finally grown mature. But Chen Chen was so guilty that she always felt that her daughter had found her small tricks.
When they were about to sleep, she even placed the pillow for Jiang Rui still like a flatterer. When she took her quilt to the sofa, Jiang Rui came out from the bathroom and he said, “Let’s share the quilt. Don’t worry, I won’t touch you before you prepare yourself.”
“Prepare for what?” Chen Chen asked like an idiot.
Jiang Rui darted a glance at her and said, “Lovemaking.”
The woman showed a terrified expression, while Jiang Rui lifted his eyebrows and said, “Didn’t I promised to give you time to prepare.” The man paused and looked at her up and down. “Or just now?”
Chen Chen shook her head like a rattle-drum, while the man’s face drew closer and closer to her.
Their breaths mingled. Chen Chen noticed a slight smell of tobacco, which was different from what she hated. His smell had a mix of tobacco and a unique tinge of the masculine. So she couldn’t help but lick her lips.
“You are seducing me.” The man’s low voice came. The next second, Chen Chen was kissed.
The kiss was aggressive from the beginning like a siege getting more and more intense. Chen Chen let the man lead her into fancy, and suddenly she felt that her chest turned cold, and then her white b.r.e.a.s.t.s were pinched by a pair of hot and coa.r.s.e hands.
Jiang Rui found that the little woman in her arms became stiff, and then her tongue did not move anymore. He looked up and found Chen Chen flushed with closed eyes…
She pa.s.sed out.
