After Lin Dongxue fell asleep, Chen s.h.i.+ took a shower and lay on the sofa.

Although it was a sofa, it was just like a bed when it was unfolded. Chen s.h.i.+ had difficulty sleeping because he had something weighing on his heart.

He even had an impulse to tell Lin Qiupu who he was now, so that it wouldnn't be held against him, as if there was a sword of Damocles looming above his head.

The phone next to him beeped, and when Chen s.h.i.+ unlocked it, he saw Lin Dongxue's message, saying, “Can't sleep? Would you like me to have a chat with you?”

For a while, Chen s.h.i.+ felt the sweetness of those words, but after some thought, he decided that this was obviously not Lin Dongxue's style of talking.

So, he replied, “Little b.a.s.t.a.r.d, playing this trick again?” After typing it, he reconsidered and deleted it.

What if Lin Dongxue was really the one who sent it?

After much thought, he decided to confirm it for himself, so he went into Lin Dongxue's bedroom softly, and by the dim light from the living room, he saw Lin Dongxue sleeping with her back to him. The quilt had slipped down a little, exposing a shoulder like white jade.

Looking at the sleeping Lin Dongxue, Chen s.h.i.+ felt a tender feeling in his heart that was also mixed with some sadness.

The time to say goodbye is coming, and this budding relations.h.i.+p will end with the revelation of his ident.i.ty. He loved Lin Dongxue and hoped to spend a lifetime with her; until they had both gone grey, to recall life's pain and happiness together.

Thinking of this, Chen s.h.i.+'s heart felt like it was being stabbed.

He closed the door silently and returned to the sofa.

Lin Dongxue, who had been waiting in bed for a long time, turned her head around in disbelief. The guy had just opened the door to have a look before leaving. Her own mobile phone still had that text message that she had just sent out , “Can't sleep? Would you like me to have a chat with you?”

Maybe he didn't want the relations.h.i.+p to develop too fast. Lin Dongxue felt Chen s.h.i.+'s sincerity in his love towards her, and buried her face in the quilt, smiling foolishly.

The next morning, when Tao Yueyue was brus.h.i.+ng her teeth, Chen s.h.i.+ asked her, “Did you steal Elder Sister Lin's cell phone again last night and text me?”

Tao Yueyue looked at him in surprise and said with a frothy mouth, “I didn't!”

“Don't deny it! Stop playing with me. I was tricked by you last time!”

Tao Yueyue pulled a face at him disdainfully.

Chen s.h.i.+ was prepared to reprimand her a little more when Lin Dongxue came out of the bedroom. So he went to prepare breakfast.

After Tao Yueyue went out, Chen s.h.i.+ reflected on the incident and thought there was something wrong. Was it really Lin Dongxue's text message?

He lifted her head to look at Lin Dongxue. Lin Dongxue was eating oatmeal porridge earnestly, and looked back at him blankly.


Chen s.h.i.+ said, “Did you sleep well last night?”

“Very well, I'm used to it here.”

“What time did you fall asleep?”

“10:30? No, eleven o'clock!” Lin Dongxue quietly flushed.

Chen s.h.i.+ remembered that the message was sent around half past ten, and from Lin Dongxue's words just now, she should have been the one who sent it. In other words, when he opened the door and stared at her back like an idiot, Lin Dongxue was actually awake!

Chen s.h.i.+ felt extremely embarra.s.sed. The whole atmosphere was filled with embarra.s.sment. The two looked at each other in embarra.s.sment for a long time. Lin Dongxue coughed, still red in the face. “Why did you open my bedroom door last night...”

“I went to see if you were asleep?”

“Oh!”

“What does this text mean?”

Lin Dongxue's face became even redder. She bit her lips for a long time and her gaze s.h.i.+fted from left to right. Then she said haltingly, “It's... I just meant to have a chat... I didn't ask you to come in... Ah, it's late. It's time to go to work!”

At the doorway of the city bureau, Lin Dongxue was preparing to get out of the car. Chen s.h.i.+ suddenly stopped her and was about to kiss her cheek.

The two haven't publicly disclosed their relations.h.i.+p for the time being and had to be professional in front of others. This was their last chance to be intimate in the morning.

Just when the two were getting closer and closer, someone knocked on the window outside. It was Lin Qiupu. Lin Dongxue's face suddenly became red to her ears and Lin Qiupu asked, “What's happening?”

Chen s.h.i.+ explained, “Dongxue's seat belt was stuck. I was helping her to untie it!”

Lin Qiupu looked suspicious of them and said, “Don't stop here. It'll affect others. Move away quickly.”

“Immediately.” Chen s.h.i.+ said with a smile plastered onto his face.

When they rolled the window back up and were ready to continue what they were about to do, someone suddenly knocked on the window again. It turned out to be Xu Xiaodong. He exclaimed exaggeratedly, “The dessert shop across the road is having a buy one, get one free crepes sale!”

“Thank you, we've already eaten though.” Chen s.h.i.+ said.

“Huh? What are you guys doing?”

“Dongxue's seat belt was stuck. So I was helping her out!”

“Oh... I'm telling you that you have to buy the vanilla flavour when you go. It's so delicious…”

“Ok, we got it!”

Chen s.h.i.+ rolled the window up again, andwas ready to continue once again with Lin Dongxue. When the two got close, Lin Dongxue smiled and said, “No one will come and bother us again, right?”

“Wouldn't that be too much of a coincidence?”

While Chen s.h.i.+ was about to kiss her, someone knocked on the window again. This time, it was Peng Sijue.

Chen s.h.i.+ reluctantly rolled down the window, “What's the matter this time?”

“My car seems to have broken down. Can you come and take a look for me… What do you mean by 'this time'?” Peng Sijue looked suspiciously at Lin Dongxue's blus.h.i.+ng face.

“I'll go after I've parked the car!”

“What are you guys doing?”

“Dongxue's seat belt was stuck. I was helping her out!”

After speaking, Chen s.h.i.+ rolled up the window and said, “No one will disturb us this time, right?”

“Forget it, let's just continue later...”

Before Lin Dongxue had finished speaking, Chen s.h.i.+ kissed her lips. After the kiss, Lin Dongxue blushed, but didn't want to part with Chen s.h.i.+.

Chen s.h.i.+ gently poked her forehead, “It's okay, let's talk tonight!”

In the morning case conference, Chen s.h.i.+ expressed his thoughts. Lin Qiupu felt like they were very constructive, and that they could investigate following his line of thought.

The dead driver was named w.a.n.g Zhangyou. He was registered under a moving company, but he mainly did long-distance freight transports. The two went to his company first and asked his colleagues whether w.a.n.g Zhangyou knew w.a.n.g Sunxu.

After asking around, a driver said, “I don't know about w.a.n.g Sunxu, but I heard him talk about w.a.n.g Sunlei. Are these two connected?”

“What happened with w.a.n.g Sunlei?”

“If I say anything, would you arrest me?”

“It depends on what you say...” Lin Dongxue was about to say but was stopped by Chen s.h.i.+ with a gesture. Chen s.h.i.+ said, “Just talk. We promise not to detain you.”

“The police should keep to their words. Of course, the thing was mainly done by w.a.n.g Zhangyou, and I just helped him out. During one of our winter dinners, he mentioned that a guy named w.a.n.g Sunlei had killed his wife. Although the police had already arrested w.a.n.g Sunlei, w.a.n.g Zhangyou still couldn't let this injustice go. Later, by coincidence, he learned that a driver's son and w.a.n.g Sunlei's brother were attending school together. So one night, he took a few people over to look for the child, smashed all the things in his house, and beat the kid badly... Of course, it was all done by w.a.n.g Zhangyou. I swear I didn't do anything. Then I asked him if the other party would call the police. w.a.n.g Zhangyou said that he wouldn't dare to call the police. He was the brother of a murderer. He had to pay for his older brother's debts, and he got what he deserved. “

Lin Dongxue was stunned for a while. As expected, w.a.n.g Zhangyou's murder was premeditated.
