The Tempting Road to Becoming an Official

The body that had been tense and nervous finally relaxed.

Finally.

The will to survive had indeed overcome reason.

She reached out her arms as well.

And embraced Chen Fang's sturdy waist.

Facing each other in the nude.

Still, a strange sensation arose in the body.

"Sister Dao, you've lost this match,"

Chen Fang whispered in her ear.

The warmth of his breath tickled her ear, causing Zhao Xixi, in his arms, to shiver.

It seemed her ears were a sensitive spot.

"I didn't lose, I just fell off a cliff. Otherwise, you wouldn't have had a chance against me,"

Zhao Xixi was as stubborn as ever.

Chen Fang's hand grabbed the rabbit clinging to her body, then started to gently play with it using his fingers.

Zhao Xixi instinctively wanted to resist.

But for some reason, her body was soft and weakened, lacking even the strength to lift a hand; she kept swallowing, experiencing a dryness in her mouth and tongue like never before in her life.

Her body had been stiff with cold.

But at this moment, it was as if a fierce fire was burning inside, and she felt hot all over.

"Operational errors also count as a loss; I told you, if you lost, you'd have to spend the night with me,"

Indeed.

By the rules.

Zhao Xixi had lost.

Losers should accept their bets.

She steeled her heart.

Closed her eyes, and mustered up the courage to say, "I'm a 'White Tiger', so if you're not afraid or scrupulous, come on up yourself."

The moment she finished speaking.

Chen Fang's hand had already slipped through her thong.

In that instant of contact, another powerful surge of electricity shot through her.

Zhao Xixi couldn't help but tremble.

"You're a virgin?"

"Mhmm..."

She moaned softly from her throat.

This was something Chen Fang had not expected.

After all, the data said Zhao Xixi hung out with a gang of ruffians every day; it was almost unbelievable that she could still be a virgin in such an environment.

Just as Zhao Xixi was mentally preparing herself to withstand the storm to come.

Chen Fang's hand moved away.

Her heart suddenly felt empty.

But then she realized something.

"It seems you've got the will but not the guts. Got scared when you saw I'm a 'White Tiger' and didn't dare touch?"

Zhao Xixi asked coldly.

Chen Fang laughed, "Screw the 'White Tiger' cursing husbands; I don't believe in that crap. My life is tough enough, I don't fear being cursed! Since you're a virgin, I can't take advantage of you. I'll have to make you willingly climb into my bed!"

"In your dreams! I am ready to accept the consequences of the bet, if you don't seize the opportunity, consider that I've honored my promise."

"Heh heh, don't worry, when Chen Fang takes a fancy to a woman, in the end, she is always the one who comes to me."

"Don't flatter yourself. With the likes of you, a philandering playboy, I would never fall for you in this lifetime,"

She said boldly.

But her heart still felt hollow.

Weird!

What am I actually looking forward to?

Zhao Xixi asked herself.

And so.

They held each other through the night.

When Zhao Xixi opened her eyes, Chen Fang was already dressed.

It was indeed wonderful to sleep cradling a beauty, but come morning his 'little brother' wouldn't stay down. Chen Fang had to leave the tenderness of the bed lest he wake Zhao Xixi and face an awkward situation.

Zhao Xixi's pants were torn.

She couldn't go down the mountain like that, could she?

Chen Fang used his overcoat as a cover-up for her.

The two climbed over mountains and hills for more than two hours before they found a small trail down the mountain.

By the time he found a place to hail a cab, it was nearly noon.

The original plan was to inquire about Zhao Shoujiang from Zhao Xixi, but given the unexpected events, he had no choice but to let it go.

The first thing upon returning home.

Chen Fang headed straight for the bathroom, wanting to take a good shower.

After all, he was filthy from the night's ordeal.

He had just begun to undress.

When the bathroom door opened.

Lanre walked in.

Smiling, she said, "Master, let Lanre assist you with your bath!"

No sooner had she spoken.

Than the thin nightgown she was wearing slipped off her body.

Hot water cascaded over him, speeding up his blood flow and relaxing his muscles.

Lanre, holding a towel, gently wiped Chen Fang's body, and the fire from the night before began to rise again.

Why bother with a bath?

Chen Fang scooped up the dripping Lanre princess-style, carried her to the bedroom, and tossed her onto the bed...

It was past two in the afternoon.

When Wen Mei called.

Chen Fang hurried to her office.

As he pushed open the door.

There were four or five police officers gathered inside, discussing something in hushed tones.

Upon seeing Chen Fang come in.

Wen Mei waved her hand and said, "Alright, that's settled. Hurry up and get Liang Abao out of prison, we'll continue with the meeting at three-thirty."

After the others left in twos and threes.

Wen Mei closed the door of the office.

"One piece of good news and one bad, which do you want to hear first?"

Wen Mei asked.

Chen Fang thought for a moment and said, "The good news."

"The good news is that Gao Chuan's death won't be connected to you. He was indeed murdered! And it was Liang Abao who ran him over."

That was indeed good news.

Following Tan Yandong's death.

The revisiting of Gao Chuan's death was expected.

Chen Fang had been worried that it would be linked to him.

Now, with Wen Mei's words, he could finally put his mind at ease.

"And the bad news? This case is related to Tan Yandong, isn't it?"

Chen Fang asked urgently.

Wen Mei nodded and said, "Yes, Liang Abao confessed that he killed Gao Chuan under Tan Yandong's orders."

Liang Abao was 35 when he married Liu Yilian, and since she was indeed beautiful, he doted on her immensely. To give her a good life, he worked day and night, and every penny he earned was kept by Liu Yilian.

But Liu Yilian was frivolous and loved gambling.

The savings of over a hundred thousand amassed in five years were completely gambled away by Liu Yilian.

Liang Abao not only didn't blame her but instead borrowed money from outside to maintain her lavish lifestyle.

He ended up deep in debt.

One night, a year ago.

Tan Yandong suddenly approached him, asking for help to get rid of Gao Chuan, promising thirty thousand upfront and another seventy thousand after the job was done.

For the financially-strapped Liang Abao, this money was crucial, but the consequences of committing murder were more than he could bear. At first, he intended to refuse, but considering the other party was the county head, and after much deliberation, he figured the risk wasn't that great.

After agreeing to the task.

Liang Abao immediately received thirty thousand yuan.

Later, Tan Yandong gave him the time and place to act.

On the night of the deed, he appeared as planned, floored the gas pedal and charged towards Gao Chuan's car.

In the massive collision, Gao Chuan stood no chance of survival.

After success was secured.

Liang Abao called the police, painting the murder as a traffic accident as previously arranged.

Gao Chuan, after all, had parked his car in a spot without lights in the dead of night, and he had been drinking too, bearing some responsibility. Thus, Liang Abao was sentenced to two years in prison.

The whole process went unnoticed.

As long as Liang Abao kept silent, this murder case might have been forever lost to oblivion.

"Did Tan Yandong know Liang Abao beforehand?"

After hearing Wen Mei's story, Chen Fang pondered for a moment before asking.
