Official Career Storm

Noticing Song Guanchao's gaze falling on the spot and seeing the toy in the wardrobe, Chen Yirou didn't react with embarrassment or shyness.

Very naturally, she reached out, picked up the toy, and then opened a drawer in the wardrobe to put it inside.

She was so calm and natural that Song Guanchao even started to doubt if he had seen it wrong.

Was that not a toy?

Seeing him frozen and not moving for a while, Chen Yirou suddenly asked, "Do you want it?"

"What?"

"I said, do you want it?"

Chen Yirou opened the drawer again, took out the toy, and handed it to him, "If you want it, I'll give it to you."

Song Guanchao couldn't hold back and asked, "Is this a toy?"

"Yes."

"..."

She was too composed, to the point where Song Guanchao felt that the one who should be embarrassed was himself.

"Do you want it?" Chen Yirou moved the toy forward again.

Song Guanchao twitched his face and coughed lightly, "What would I want this for."

"I saw you staring at it and thought you wanted it."

"I..." Song Guanchao couldn't help but say, "Aren't you too composed?"

This woman, why does it feel like she has no sense of shame at all?

"Composed?"

Chen Yirou didn't understand what he meant, looked at his expression, and suddenly smiled, "How do you think I should react?"

"At least... you'd be a little embarrassed, right?"

"Why be embarrassed?"

Chen Yirou said, "I'm a normal woman with normal physiological needs; it's not something shameful."

"Haven't you ever solved it yourself?"

"...Yes." Song Guanchao found that maybe he was the one being awkward.

She's right; regardless of gender, sexual needs are normal.

Besides, she isn't bothering anyone else.

It's just that most people would feel embarrassed and ashamed if someone found their toy.

Chen Yirou's reaction was too composed.

This also shows she is a woman with very open views.

He didn't say anything more, quickly finished installing the camera, and said, "I'll head back."

Chen Yirou still holding the toy, asked, "Really don't want it?"

"..." Song Guanchao's expression stiffened, and he awkwardly said, "It's something for women; even if I took it, I wouldn't use it."

Chen Yirou smiled and put the toy back.

Only after leaving her room did Song Guanchao finally breathe a sigh of relief.

It was the first time he had encountered a woman like Chen Yirou.

Returning to the room, after installing the camera, Song Guanchao opened the door and found that the two trainees looking for him earlier were still in the corridor.

He proactively greeted them, "Did you need something just now?"

The two trainees came over, smiling, "We mainly wanted to chat with District Chief Song about that police case."

While talking, they directly entered Song Guanchao's room, appearing very natural.

And since Song Guanchao didn't deliberately stop them, they easily entered the room.

After entering, the two talked about some irrelevant things.

Song Guanchao knew what they wanted to do and cooperatively gave them space, "You sit here for a bit; I need to use the bathroom."

Once he went to the bathroom, the two exchanged glances; then one quickly took out a small surveillance device and placed it in the wall corner hidden by the curtains.

It's a battery-powered surveillance device that uses double-sided tape to stick directly onto the wall.

After sticking it, the man swiftly returned to his seat and looked towards the bathroom, just in time to hear the flushing sound.

Then, Song Guanchao came out of the bathroom.

After chatting a bit more, the two left.

Once they were gone, Song Guanchao leaned back on the chair, smoked a cigarette, and sent a message in the four-person group chat, "Come out, let's meet in the parking lot."

He extinguished the cigarette and left the room.

The group met in the corridor and left the dormitory.

Arriving at the parking lot, they got in the car; after driving out of the party school, Song Guanchao said, "Check it out."

The four took out their phones, opened the camera app, and checked what happened after those trainees entered the room.

They saw, during their bathroom break, those trainees secretly installed a surveillance device in the corner.

"Save all the video."

Song Guanchao checked the time; it was almost six o'clock.

Time was still ample, and buying goods wasn't urgent.

"Cheng Xiang, call Zhou Xin, ask him to come out."

"Where to meet him?"

"Bar."

"Just him?"

"Yes, he alone is enough."

The mastermind behind this was Zhou Xin; it's best to deal with him directly.

Cheng Xiang responded with a nod and started making the call.

Chen Yirou also drove towards the bar.

After the call connected, Cheng Xiang mysteriously mentioned there was something about the case to discuss.

Zhou Xin thought Cheng Xiang wanted to show him some favor and immediately agreed, promptly heading over.

Song Guanchao's group arrived at the bar first; after parking, they waited outside.

Half an hour later, Zhou Xin called, saying he'd arrived and asked Cheng Xiang for specific directions.

After hanging up, Song Guanchao stood up and pointed, "There's a small forest over there; we'll head there first, you bring Zhou Xin over."

"Alright."

Not long after Song Guanchao and the others left, Zhou Xin arrived.

"Cheng Xiang, just you?"

Zhou Xin glanced around, laughing, "This place isn't bad."

Cheng Xiang smiled, "Let's talk somewhere else."

"Seems what you want to say is quite important." Zhou Xin's expectations grew.

Cheng Xiang was close with Song Guanchao, and Song Guanchao was well-informed about the case's detailed investigation.

He just didn't know what he needed to offer to get this information from Cheng Xiang.

Cheng Xiang quickly took him away from the bar, bypassed a corner, and saw a small forest near the landscaping.

That should be the place Song Guanchao mentioned.

Zhou Xin was completely off guard, following him across the greenery into the small forest.

By then, it was already seven, and the sky was dark.

There wasn't even a streetlight nearby.

Zhou Xin asked, "Isn't this good enough?"

Cheng Xiang nodded, stopping to look around.

It was too dark, even if Song Guanchao and the others were nearby, he couldn't see them.

So, he took out his phone, preparing to call Song Guanchao.

Just then, Song Guanchao's voice came from not far away.

"Zhou Xin."

The voice sounded familiar.

Zhou Xin quickly looked towards the voice.

Soon, several figures emerged from the small forest.

They came closer, and Zhou Xin finally saw them clearly.

It was Song Guanchao, Chen Yirou, and Jiang Yiren.

Zhou Xin was stunned, immediately sensing something was off.

Why were they here too?

Yet, he couldn't pinpoint exactly what was wrong.

By now, Song Guanchao and the others had reached him.

Zhou Xin frowned, "Cheng Xiang, what's the meaning of this?"

Cheng Xiang chuckled, didn't respond, and took out a cigarette, tossing one to Song Guanchao.

Song Guanchao lit the cigarette, took a deep drag.

The cigarette's glow allowed Zhou Xin to see his teasing gaze.

Zhou Xin felt a strange annoyance but suppressed his anger, saying, "Seems like District Chief Song invited me here; I'm here now, so say what you need."

Just as he finished speaking...

"Bang!"

Song Guanchao kicked him in the stomach, taking him by surprise, and Zhou Xin was knocked to the ground.

He was completely bewildered, not understanding why Song Guanchao suddenly got physical.
