CHAPTER 95: CHAPTER 95: DISGUISE, DIRTY TRAP

Right now Jiang Jingming shows no trace of being drunk.

Sang Yu: "Weren’t you drunk?"

Jiang Jingming sat up, "No."

Sang Yu looked confused. No? Then what was he just now...

Jiang Jingming’s hand caressed Sang Yu’s back, "I didn’t hurt you, did I?"

Just now, to make it more believable, Jiang Jingming pushed Sang Yu a bit. His eyes were full of guilt.

Sang Yu shook her head, "It’s fine, you didn’t push hard. Just bumped me, not painful."

Jiang Jingming: "No, let me see."

Saying that, he tried to take off Sang Yu’s clothes.

Sang Yu stopped Jiang Jingming’s action, suspecting he wasn’t trying to check her back but was being lewd.

"Why did you pretend to be drunk just now?" Sang Yu quickly shifted the topic.

Jiang Jingming: "It’s a long story."

Time moved back to an hour ago.

"No more, no more, I can’t drink anymore today." Zou Ming waved his hand, already slightly tipsy.

Shen Shaohua glanced at Jiang Jingming, seeing the latter’s slightly dazed and unsteady look.

Clearly, he’d had too much.

Shen Shaohua and Liang Zhenghua exchanged a glance, Liang Zhenghua nodded briefly, so subtle that if not paid attention, it would be unnoticeable.

"Let’s call it a day now, shall we?" Shen Shaohua also said.

Liang Zhenghua: "Sure, it’s been very enjoyable today, let’s leave it here."

Liang Zhenghua looked at Xu Cheng, "Director Xu, ride back with us. Conveniently, my car is just downstairs."

Xu Cheng was also somewhat drunk, although he hadn’t drunk much, he didn’t have a good alcohol tolerance.

"Alright." Xu Cheng agreed, thinking it was a good idea not to call someone to pick him up.

Shen Shaohua: "Minister Liang, how many people can your car fit? I think it’d be good to give Jingming a lift too."

Before Liang Zhenghua could speak, Xu Cheng said, "I’ll go with Jingming, we’re from the same area, can look after each other on the way."

Compared to Jiang Jingming, Xu Cheng remained relatively sober.

Liang Zhenghua: "Not very fitting, I only have one spot left in the car."

Shen Shaohua: "Same here."

Upon hearing Shen Shaohua and Liang Zhenghua’s words, Xu Cheng replied directly, "Then I won’t trouble Secretary or Minister, I’ll just call a car to pick us up."

Liang Zhenghua waved it off, "No need, no need, there’s just enough space, let’s not make it any trouble, besides, it’s not far."

Upon hearing this, Xu Cheng couldn’t say much else.

Nor did he give it much thought.

Finally, Xu Cheng got into Shen Shaohua’s car, while Jiang Jingming got into Liang Zhenghua’s.

Shen Shaohua’s car first dropped off Zou Ming, then Xu Cheng.

Thus, at a junction, they separated from Liang Zhenghua’s car.

But Liang Zhenghua’s car didn’t head toward Jiang Jingming’s home.

Instead, it went in a completely opposite direction.

Liang Zhenghua sat in the passenger seat, glancing back at Jiang Jingming lying in the rear seat, with a glint of coldness in his eyes.

They arrived at a guesthouse.

Liang Zhenghua and the driver helped Jiang Jingming upstairs.

They entered a room.

Put him on the bed.

"Where is the person?"

"Already on the way, should arrive in a few minutes."

Liang Zhenghua glanced back at Jiang Jingming, lowered his voice, and said, "Let’s go."

"Yes."

After Liang Zhenghua and the driver left, about five minutes later, a woman entered the room.

After a while, some commotion suddenly came from inside.

The two men stationed to keep watch heard the noise and believed the task was accomplished.

But the next second, the room door suddenly opened.

Jiang Jingming staggered, unable to stand straight, but his clothes weren’t rumpled at all.

He kept muttering, "I want to go back to sleep, I want to go back to sleep."

Kept repeating this sentence.

They dared not approach, afraid of revealing their identities.

Once Jiang Jingming was downstairs, the two men went into the room, questioning, "What happened?"

"How would I know what happened, he suddenly sat up saying he wants to go home and sleep, I tried stopping him to undress him, he flung his arm and sent me flying."

She felt like she might have cracked her waist, feeling its pain.

The woman, supporting her waist, spoke in dissatisfaction.

The two men exchanged a glance, considering Jiang Jingming’s identity, his strength was understandable.

But they still suspected, did he realize something?

Thus, they followed Jiang Jingming all the way.

Jiang Jingming staggeringly walked home along the road.

Still muttering the same phrase.

The two men continued following Jiang Jingming all the way home.

Even upon seeing his woman, Jiang Jingming kept muttering that sentence.

The two men loitered by the entrance for a while before leaving.

...

"So, you’re saying someone wanted to harm you?" Sang Yu felt a bit scared, luckily Jiang Jingming wasn’t actually drunk.

If he really were drunk, then...

Feeling Sang Yu’s body slightly tremble, Jiang Jingming reassured, "Don’t be afraid, I’ll be careful in the future."

Sang Yu knew he would be careful, but some dirty tactics are impossible to exhaust.

No matter how careful, pitfalls are inevitable.

And their methods are too vile.

To think they’d resort to such a way.

Jiang Jingming pulled Sang Yu into his arms, "Don’t worry, after this failure, they’ll take some time before trying again, and I’ll have gathered enough evidence by then, ready to deal with them."

Even as he said this, Sang Yu couldn’t help but worry.

But afraid it might cause Jiang Jingming’s worries, "Okay, I know, just make sure to be cautious."

Jiang Jingming buried his head in Sang Yu’s neck, inhaling her scent, "Rest assured, I’ll be careful. For you, I would remain pure as jade."

Sang Yu gave Jiang Jingming a playful glare.

Jiang Jingming chuckled softly.

...

"Are you sure he wasn’t pretending?"

"Doesn’t seem like pretending, and he even pushed his woman upon seeing her, didn’t look like an act."

Liang Zhenghua narrowed his eyes, "Did he discover you?"

"No way, we concealed ourselves well, always following from afar, never approaching."

"Yes, after he got home, we watched outside for quite a while, no unusual movements inside."

Liang Zhenghua felt a bit frustrated, should have spiked something.

But Shen Shaohua insisted on avoiding marks, otherwise, now it’s messed up.

Liang Zhenghua waved his hand, "You guys head out, remember to clean up."

"Yes."

After they left, Liang Zhenghua called Shen Shaohua.

Explained what happened to Shen Shaohua.

Shen Shaohua’s fingers tapped rhythmically on the desk, "If it’s not an act, then he’s discovered us."

Liang Zhenghua: "What do we do now?"

Suddenly remembering that delicate face, Shen Shaohua laughed darkly, his expression sinister like a venomous snake targeting its prey.

[Happy New Year, darlings! Going out to play today!]
