Chapter 357: People Are Unsatisfied
For the entire morning, Jiaren Wu had a strange expression on her face.
Everyone in Shenhua Entertainment was used to having a beauty with them. At first, they thought that Jiaren Wu was a new artist who had hooked up with the CEO and was inseparable from him. Later, when they saw that she was always dressed in black, they realized that she was a bodyguard.
However, this bodyguard could probably protect his master on the bed.
A lover and bodyguardâ¦
Jiaren Wu knew that rumors about her spread in the company, but she didnât care.
In the afternoon, she had lunch with Dongli Shenghua. Under everyoneâs curious gazes, the two of them left together and went upstairs.
Jiaren Wu fully utilized her identity as a bodyguard and entered the elevator before pressing the floor button.
Dongli Shenghua was a step slower.
He stood in front of her with an imposing and cold expression. Jiaren Wu stood behind him. She was neither too far nor too close. It just so happened that she could grab Dongli Shenghua in an emergency.
It was a safe and polite distance.
Dongli Shenghua lowered his head and played with his phone. It was unknown which lover he was flirting with.
Putting away his phone, he suddenly said, âDo you have something to say to me?â
There were only the two of them in the elevator, so these words were naturally directed at Jiaren Wu.
âNo.â
âBut your expression tells me that you have something to say to me.â
âMr. Dongli, you have sharp eyes.â Jiaren Wuâs words sounded like mockery and not praise.
Dongli Shenghua didnât mind. âWhat do you want to say?â
Instead of answering, Jiaren Wu asked, âYoung Master Dongli is already six years old. Has he been studying?â
âYes, heâll be in first grade when the summer is over.â
Dongli Shenghua felt that this question was a little strange.?Xiao Aoâs studying has something to do with her abnormality today?
He asked, âWhatâs wrong?â
âMr. Dongli is not short of money. Why donât you hire a teacher for Little Masterâ¦â Jiaren Wu thought of the words she saw this morning and felt a little gloomy. She did not forget to add. âIt would be best if that teacher was a calligraphy teacher.â
Dongli Shenghua pondered the meaning of her words and tried to probe. âIs Xiao Aoâs handwriting ugly?â
After thinking for a while, Jiaren Wu decided to be an honest person. âItâs quite ugly.â
Dongli Shenghua found it hard to explain himself.
Seeing that Dongli Shenghua was silent, Jiaren Wu said, âIâm the one whoâs interfering too much.â
âNo.â Dongli Shenghua shook his head and said with a wooden face, âI taught him how to writeâ
Jiaren Wu was speechless.
Would it be too late to change her words and say that Dongli Ao wrote very well?
Throughout the afternoon, Jiaren Wu was as quiet as a chicken.
At night, Donli Shenghua went to attend a charity event. Jiaren Wu waited outside the venue. After 10 pm, she and the chauffeur sent Donli Shenghua home. Only after that did Jiaren Wu return home.
It had been more than a month since she had approached Dongli Shenghua. So far, there was nothing wrong with his actions.
Jiaren Wu almost suspected that the information her senior brother had found was wrong.
Is he really a drug lord?
Shaking her head, Jiaren Wu curled up in the corner of the sofa and drifted off to sleep.
***
One day, Dongli Shenghua attended Movie King Xieyeâs 40th birthday banquet. After the banquet ended, Jiaren Wu escorted him home.
âStop in front.â
Jiaren Wu looked around and found this place familiar.
Dongli Shenghua took out two 100 RMB notes from his wallet and handed them to the driver. âOld Chen, help me buy three pounds of crayfish.â
The driver took the money and got out of the car.
This was the place where they came to eat crayfish some time ago.
Jiaren Wuâs gaze followed Old Chen into the crayfish shop they had visited before. She wondered when she could bring Wei Shuyi here for a meal. At the back seat, Dongli Shenghua suddenly said, âIâll be going overseas for a while. Miss Wu, you have to come with me. Go prepare your passport tomorrow.â
Jiaren Wu asked, âWhen are you going?â
âAround the middle of next month.â
âWhen are you coming back?â
âA few days at the end of the month.â
âOkay.â
The next day, Jiaren Wu applied for leave from Dongli Shenghua at noon. She went to the police station and asked Kang Hui to help her apply for a passport.
When they met again, they both sighed.
At noon, they had lunch at the restaurant they frequented.
After the two of them sat down, Kang Hui said to Jiaren Wu, âYouâre now the big bossâs bodyguard. I heard that your salary is over 20,000 yuan. You have to treat me to this meal today.â
âOf course. Senior Brother, you can order whatever you want.â
âVery straightforward.â
Kang Hui ordered five to six dishes. When the two of them ate, there were still more dishes served.
Kang Hui sized up Jiaren Wu who was sitting opposite him.
Today, Jiaren Wu was still dressed in a black outfit with a black shoulder bag in her hand. The weather was very hot, so she took off her black jacket and wore only a top with a white strap. Her figure was still top-notch, and it seemed like she had not neglected her training.
Kang Hui saw that she was looking good and sarcastically said, âLooks like youâre doing quite well after changing your job.â
Jiaren Wu could tell that he was mocking her.
Shaking her head, she said, âI still like being a police officer and catching bad people.â
âWho asked you to court death yourself!â Kang Hui was a little disappointed and scolded her. âYou donât know how to restrain yourself. Even if Yang Shu deserved it, you shouldâve still endured it. You beat up someone in public while being in your police uniform. Even if youâre the daughter of the police chief, youâll still be punished.â
After saying that, Kang Hui sighed again and said, âYouâre really unlucky to have met the higher-ups during the inspection.â
Jiaren Wu took a sip of warm water and laughed self-deprecatingly. She said, âItâs good not to be a police officer. In the past, I was always on guard against people taking revenge on me. Now, itâs good. I can do whatever I want. My salary isnât low either. The only inconvenient thing is that I donât have enough time to meet my Brother Wei.â
âYouâre reallyâ¦â
At this point, the dishes arrived.
Kang Hui cleaned two pairs of chopsticks and passed one to Jiaren Wu.
Jiaren Wu took a bite of the cured meat. The taste was very familiar, so familiar that her eyes involuntarily moistened.
Kang Hui saw it and frowned.
âHave you visited Masterâs wife recently?â
âYes.â
Kang Hui said, âMasterâs wife is in good spirits. Little Jun is much better now. Masterâs wife said that he hasnât been studying much recently and has been receiving tuition during the summer break. He is working hard in high school and should be able to get into a good university in the future.â
âItâs been hard on them.â Thinking of Chief Song, Jiaren Wu felt terrible. âThose bastards!â She slammed the blanket on the table and said boldly, âIf I were still a police officer, I would fight them to the death!â
âShut up! Youâre no longer a police officer.â Kang Hui stuffed a potato into her mouth.
Jiaren Wu widened her eyes, her eyes filled with grievance and indignance.
She asked again, âHow has Brother Yang been recently?â
Kang Hui nodded. âThe same as always. His body is recovering quite well. Ah Yang⦠has always blamed himself for Tang Jiangyunâs incident. You know that he had a good relationship with Tang Jiangyun. When he found out that Tang Jiangyun might be a spy, he didnât dare to believe it either. Hence, he didnât expose him, which led Captain Huang and the rest toâ¦â
Kang Hui was silent for a while.
The mention of the lives of his brothers weighed heavily on their hearts.
After a while, she asked, âIs Brother Yang still feeling guilty?â
âYeah.â
The two of them had not seen each other for a long time and had endless things to talk about.
Kang Hui complained to her about the new colleagues in the team. He told them who liked to slack off, who had a bad character, and who liked to flaunt their wealthâ¦
Jiaren Wu complained to him about how unrestrained and messy Dongli Shenghuaâs private life was and how hateful his son was to treat her like a devilâ¦
During the meal, the two of them chatted for a long time.
After dinner, Jiaren Wu carried her bag over to pay the bill.
After paying the bill, the two of them walked out of the restaurant together. They walked to the entrance of the Public Security Bureau. The short reunion had to end.
The two of them looked at each other for a long time before Kang Hui spoke first, âGo to work! Letâs meet again next time.â
Jiaren Wu took a few breaths but still couldnât hold it in. She asked Kang Hui, âSenior Brother, who⦠who is the drug lord behind this? Have you found out?â
Kang Huiâs face darkened. âWhy are you asking this? It has nothing to do with you anymore.â
âSenior Brother, you know better than anyone that itâs easy to take off your police uniform, but not easy to get rid of your sense of responsibility.â Jiaren Wu smiled bitterly. She sighed softly and said, âI always dream of us catching bad people together. Senior Brother, tell me who that person is.â
Kang Hui was moved by her words.
âItâs not that Iâm hiding it from you.â Kang Hui was a little distressed. He disconsolately sighed and said, âItâs because we havenât found that person yet.â
Jiaren Wu frowned in doubt. âIs he that capable?â
Capable?
Kang Hui curled his lips. âThe other party is too cunning. We canât find out. I suspect that we have someone above us who doesnât allow us to investigate properly.â
âHow could this beâ¦â
âIs it very strange for officials and businessmen to be in cahoots?â Kang Hui smiled mockingly. He said, âA man who is never content is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant. When Captain Huang was still alive, he was brought in for questioning time and time again. Wasnât it because he violated the interests of some people? In my opinion, that hidden drug lord has a very good relationship with some big shots above us.â
Jiaren Wu angrily said, âWhat a bunch of scum!â
âAlright, letâs go back first. I still have to sleep for a while in the afternoon as I have to work later in the afternoon.â
âOkay.â
Jiaren Wu hailed a taxi back to Shenhua Entertainment.
She got into the car and looked down at the small bag on her lap. Her lips curled into a sarcastic smile.
In the office, at this time, Dongli Shenghua, who was supposed to be practicing boxing, was leaning on his chair.
His eyes were closed, and his hands were crossed and resting on his stomach as if he were taking a nap.
A series of conversations came out of the open laptop.
âSenior Brother, that⦠that drug lord, who is he? Have you found out?
âSenior Brother, you know better than anyone that itâs easy to take off your police uniform, but itâs not easy to remove your sense of responsibility.â
âWhen Captain Huang was still alive, he was brought in for questioning time and time again. Wasnât it because he violated the interests of some people? In my opinion, that hidden drug lord has a good relationship with some big shots above us.â
A man who is not content is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant.
Upon hearing this, Dongli Shenghua suddenly opened his eyes.
A cold light shot out from his eyes.
âHa!â
He held his right index finger and gently looked at the back of his left hand. Recalling what he had just heard, he murmured, âYouâre right. The police are also divided into good and bad.â
***
After returning to the building in the afternoon, Jiaren Wu was clearly depressed.
Dongli Shenghua noticed it but pretended not to see it.
After work, Jiaren Wu climbed to the fifth floor and saw Wei Shuyi waiting for her at her door.
He was leaning against the door of her house, wearing a pure black shirt, black pants. Even his shoes were black. His face and hands, which were exposed, were fair and perfect.
Hearing footsteps, Wei Shuyi lowered his head and looked over.
âYouâre off work?â
Jiaren Wuâs gloomy mood suddenly brightened when she saw Wei Shuyi.
She nodded. She walked over and leaned on him. âHow long have you been here?â
âTwenty minutes.â
âWerenât you afraid I wonât be back all night?â
Wei Shuyi narrowed his eyes and asked, âYouâre not coming home for the entire night. Are you two-timing?â
Jiaren Wu hugged him and bit his neck. She said, âNo, I wonât ever leave you.â
âHa.â
The two of them entered the house together. Wei Shuyi was cooking, and Jiaren Wu had changed her clothes. She ran to the kitchen and said, âIâm going out for a while and will be back soon. Do you need me to bring anything back?â
Wei Shuyi said, âBring some ice cream. The weather is hot.â
âOkay.â
Wei Shuyi had finished cooking. When he saw that Jiaren Wu was not back yet, he sat down on her sofa and took out his phone to play games.
âIâm back.â
Wei Shuyi was killed in the game when the voice distracted him.
He turned around and saw Jiaren Wu holding a bag in her left hand. She was breathing in the cold air as she held a key chain.
On her key chain hung the acrylic little man and two keys.
Wei Shuyi stared at the two keys and smiled.
Jiaren Wu walked to his side, took a key from the key chain, and handed it to Wei Shuyi, âThis is my house key, hereâs one for you.â Just as Wei Shuyi was about to take it, Jiaren Wu suddenly took the key back.
Wei Shuyi raised his head and looked at her in confusion.
âHave you thought about whether you want to accept it or not?â Jiaren Wu tightly gripped the key with two fingers. She said, âYou can enter my house as you please. Donât tell me you donât know what this means?â
Wei Shuyi quickly reached out his right hand and snatched the key from her hand. Then, he lowered his head and hung it on his keychain.
After he was done, he raised his head and smiled at Jiaren Wu. He said, âIâve taken over your home and you.â
