CHAPTER 51: CHAPTER 51: MY BUTT FEELS A LITTLE WARM

From then on, Lin Wen didn’t dare say another word at the dinner table, fearing Sang Yu might spray him again.

Sang Yu felt a bit embarrassed.

Jiang Jingming gave Sang Yu some food and comforted her, "Don’t mind it."

Looking at the dishes in her bowl, Sang Yu nodded.

After they finished eating, Lin Wen asked Sang Yu very seriously, "Sister-in-law, don’t you think Lazy Sheep’s hairstyle is really cool?"

Sang Yu tried to ask, "Have you considered that your hair length might not allow for that hairstyle?"

Lin Wen paused, "Huh? Really?"

Sang Yu replied: Are you only realizing this now?

Lin Wen looked disappointed, "What a pity, I thought that hairstyle was really nice."

Although Lazy Sheep is indeed cute, wanting to have the same hairstyle is really hard to understand.

"You should get going." Jiang Jingming looked at Lin Wen and said coldly.

Lin Wen: "Captain, it’s still early, it’s not even work time yet. Let me chat with Sister-in-law a little more."

Jiang Jingming: "Or perhaps, should I chat with you?"

Lin Wen felt a chill down his spine and looked up at Jiang Jingming, sensing a murderous intent!

Suddenly, Lin Wen stood up, "Captain, I just remembered there’s something I have to do at the team. I’ll be going now, Sister-in-law, I’ll see you later."

Saying this, he ran off without looking back.

Sang Yu couldn’t help but chuckle, "Lin Wen is quite cute, actually."

Jiang Jingming suddenly leaned closer to Sang Yu, his eyes deep and dark, "You’re praising another man right in front of me? Hmm? I’m going to get jealous."

Sang Yu was taken aback; when did she praise another man?

She just said ’cute,’ that’s all, and what’s up with this man?

Since they cleared things up, he hasn’t been pretending anymore, has he?

"Well, I just remembered, I haven’t finished my sketches. I’ll go and draw for a bit."

Sang Yu got up to leave but Jiang Jingming grabbed her hand.

In the next moment, Sang Yu found herself sitting on his lap.

It was a bit firm, not very comfortable.

Sang Yu shifted her body a little.

A hint of desire flashed through Jiang Jingming’s eyes, his voice hoarse, "Don’t move."

Sang Yu dared not move again, "Y-you, let me go."

"You praised another man in front of me, shouldn’t you make it up to me?"

His voice was hoarse and pleasant, like clouds gently swirling across the sky.

"W-what do you want, what kind of compensation?" Sang Yu felt the heat from the body beneath her, feeling rather uneasy.

Jiang Jingming’s hand suddenly landed on her waist, applying a little pressure to bring them closer.

"Naturally, it’s..."

A smile played at the corners of his mouth, and then his thin lips gently touched Sang Yu’s lips.

A mere brush, a light touch, before he pulled away.

His voice resonated in Sang Yu’s ears, "Next time, it won’t be just a simple kiss."

Sang Yu abruptly pushed Jiang Jingming away and stood up, "I-I-I’ll go upstairs first."

Watching Sang Yu’s flustered retreat, amusement filled Jiang Jingming’s eyes.

His attention was solely on her; should she show any sign of aversion or refusal, he would stop immediately.

But he knew she hadn’t; there was no resistance, no dislike, just shyness.

If that’s the case, he was willing to take it slow.

Very soon, he wouldn’t be alone in that cold, large bed.

Sang Yu clutched her thumping heart.

How can this man be so flirtatious?

Since yesterday, Sang Yu felt as if Jiang Jingming had become a different person.

Leaving her unable to handle it.

First was cheek, then the corner of the lips. Next, could it be a full kiss...

She dared not think further, touching her burning cheeks.

Then, she refocused her attention on her comic.

...

Jiang Jingming rested at home for a few more days before returning to the team.

"Captain! You’re finally back!"

A group of people saw Jiang Jingming and eagerly rushed forward.

Jiang Jingming: "Has anything happened recently?"

"Nothing, Captain, everything’s been quiet lately."

"Captain, how are your injuries?"

Jiang Jingming: "Much better."

"Captain, why didn’t you rest a few more days? There’s nothing much happening right now anyway."

"Yeah, Captain, why not completely recover before returning?"

"I guess the sister-in-law probably got tired of seeing the Captain around and sent him back."

"Old Snake, it’s one thing for your wife to dislike you but don’t project that onto the Captain. How could sister-in-law ever dislike our Captain?"

"Exactly, Old She, I think you’re the one your wife doesn’t like."

"It must be Old She. A few days ago, I was leaving the house and overheard Old She’s wife scolding him."

"Hahahahaha, Old She, you rascal."

Old She said, "No, you heard wrong. That was my wife expressing concern for me."

"You’re just being stubborn."

At this moment, an officer approached.

"Captain Jiang, Director Xu wants to see you."

The crowd instantly quieted down.

Jiang Jingming nodded, "Got it, I’ll go over right now."

After Jiang Jingming left, the crowd began to chatter again.

"What’s Director Li looking for the Captain for?"

"What else could it be? It’s surely about the promotion."

"That’s right, we owe the success of this mission to the Captain. Achieving such a big task, a promotion is definitely in order."

"Although I think the Captain should be promoted, I’m worried that once he gets promoted, he won’t be with us anymore."

"You’re not a child, do you still want the Captain to hold your hand?"

"Aren’t you thinking the same thing?"

With those words, the person who spoke fell silent.

Lin Wen: "Alright, alright, don’t speculate for now. Let’s wait for the Captain to return, or until we hear from above."

Everyone agreed and returned to their posts.

In the meantime, Jiang Jingming arrived at Xu Cheng’s office.

"Reporting in!"

Xu Cheng’s voice came from inside, "Come in."

Jiang Jingming pushed open the door and went in.

Seeing Jiang Jingming, Xu Cheng motioned with his hand, "Have a seat."

"Has your body recovered?"

Jiang Jingming: "Almost."

"The commendation from above has come through, a promotion, and a bonus for the entire team totaling fifteen hundred yuan."

Jiang Jingming remained calm, "Understood."

"However, at present, there’s no suitable candidate for the post of Detective Captain, so you will have to temporarily continue holding that position."

Jiang Jingming: "Alright, understood."

Xu Cheng: "One more thing, there have been several missing person cases in Sea City recently. All the missing are young female workers. We suspect it’s a gang operation. We’ve decided to assign this case to your detective team for investigation."

Jiang Jingming frowned, "When did this happen?"

"In the past week. We’ve been tracking and investigating, but the perpetrators are clearly prepared and have a strong anti-investigation awareness. We’ve hardly found any traces."

This kind of gang isn’t easy to handle, which is why Xu Cheng entrusted the case to Jiang Jingming.

Jiang Jingming understood Xu Cheng’s intention.

"Alright, Director Xu, I understand."

"I’ll have someone send the relevant investigative materials to your team shortly. You need to get started quickly, or the delay might cause public panic and discontent."

"I understand!"
