"Me? I put on makeup to please myself, of course. Why would I put it on for that jerk?!"
Looking back now, Ling Shuang always feels that her mother was a little guilty when she said those words.
She sat in front of the vanity mirror, applying a delicate makeup to conceal some of her originally aloof demeanor, making her appear more approachable.
When she arrived at the restaurant downstairs, she saw Ling Yun and her mother sitting separately, though the woman's face still had a faint blush.
Ling Shuang could ignore the occasional strange occurrence, but the fact that it happened several times made her have to seriously consider the situation.
Could it be that they...?
Ling Shuang couldn't imagine her mother acting this way. It wasn't that Xiang Yao couldn't pursue her own happiness, but rather that if this person was Ling Yun, it would feel absurd to her.
Perhaps I guessed wrong.
Ling Shuang sat down next to Ling Yun, and the young man helped her tidy up a stray strand of her golden hair, asking her how she slept last night.
Was I drunk yesterday?
"It should be that you collapsed when we were almost finished eating."
The aloof CEO said somewhat embarrassedly, "It seems my alcohol tolerance is getting worse and worse. I'll try not to drink anymore in the future."
"When you're with me, you can drink if you want, and you don't have to drink if you don't want to." Ling Yun did something that surprised her. He hugged her in front of Xiang Yao and kissed her on the lips. "When you're out alone, never drink."
"it is good."
Ling Shuang's heart raced a little as she stole a glance at her mother's reaction.
Xiang Yao was also taken aback for a moment, then glanced at Ling Yun with a hint of sourness before returning to her normal smile.
Ling Shuang finished eating and left first; she needed to go to her friend's pharmacy to get her medicine.
After she left, Xiang Yao angrily straddled Ling Yun, hugged his face, and kissed him dozens of times in one go.
"No matter how many times you kiss Ling Shuang in the future, you can't kiss me less than she does!"
"What kind of mother are you? Fighting with your daughter over something like that?"
"That's different!"
Xiang Yao was wearing a semi-transparent silk nightgown, a type of clothing that only increased Ling Yun's attack speed. Before going to the company, Ling Yun held her again and released his pent-up desire.
Xiao Ling ignored him, only glancing at the young man before quickly averting her gaze and adjusting her breathing.
Ling Yun noticed that Xiao Ling's affection for him had also increased, but Xiao Ling's status wasn't even that of a supporting female character, and the system was quite strict in judging this aspect.
After a while, Xiao Ling couldn't stand it any longer, so she went to the car to find the driver, Chen Jiali.
Afterwards, Ling Yun put his arm around Xiang Yao's supple waist, and the woman whispered in his ear, "Ling Yun, what do you think of Xiao Ling?"
"They are very conscientious and responsible."
"Ugh, who asked you that?"
"what do you mean?"
"I know my own bodyguard well. She's still a virgin and has no romantic experience. Because her father abused her mother when she was young, she hates every man equally. But I've noticed that she seems to have a pretty good impression of you, and we didn't hide it from her when we did 'that.' She knows exactly how good you are. Every woman who's ever met you knows how amazing you are."
Xiang Yao glanced at the tightly closed door: "If you have any thoughts about this, I can help you. Although there are many beautiful girls around you now, Xiao Ling is not only beautiful, but also quite good-looking. She just has a slightly masculine appearance, but otherwise she has no flaws. She is tall and has a great figure."
"Okay, I'll wait for your message."
Seeing that he agreed, Xiang Yao hugged him and kissed him a few more times before gently helping him get dressed.
Today is Saturday, and Xiang Yao is definitely not going to work. She has arranged to play mahjong at one of her friends' houses this afternoon.
Since it was on the way, Xiang Yao pulled him into her car.
Ling Yun hadn't paid much attention to Xiao Ling before, but now that he saw her, she did resemble the actress who played "Dongfang Bubai" somewhat.
Thick, sword-like eyebrows and deep-set eyes give him a heroic air, which may not be as attractive to men, but is very pleasing to the eye.
Xiao Ling also saw Ling Yun looking her over in the indoor mirror. She shifted her position slightly, feeling a little uneasy, and tried her best to stop thinking about what she had just seen.
But the more you try to stop thinking about it, the more you'll think about it.
The image of the young man's strong physique overlapping with Xiang Yao's voluptuous body is something she will probably never forget for the rest of her life.
Chapter 59 Policewoman An Xin
"Hello Mr. Ling, my name is An Xin, police badge number LG889827, this is my identification."
Ling Yun looked at the policewoman who appeared in his office and turned off the computer screen: "Qianyi, go get Officer An some water."
"Ok!"
"No need, I just came to ask Mr. Ling about the situation."
"Guests are welcome, please have a seat."
Ling Yun invited her to sit on the sofa next to him, and Wu Qianyi also brought over tea.
Name: An Xin
【Age】:27
[Value]: 168, D
[Favorability]: 80 (Admiration)
[Combat Power]: 10
[Special]: Purification (Purple)
[Identity]: None
Purification: Possesses the ability to cleanse the soul, even purifying the most wicked person.
As the main villain of this world, even if Ling Yun doesn't go out to search, the female lead will automatically come to him.
This policewoman's talent complements her profession perfectly, and her professional skills are undoubtedly excellent.
"I came to see Mr. Ling today to understand some of the doubts in Gao Qiang's case, and I hope Mr. Ling can help me clear up my doubts."
"Sure, I won't hide anything I know from Officer An."
Ling Yun carefully examined the other person's appearance. He had been wondering why, since Gao Qiang was there, he hadn't seen Officer An at all. Well, it turned out he had appeared in another way.
The standard police uniform accentuated An Xin's tall and sharp features. Her eyes were calm as autumn water, yet sharp in their gaze. Her straight nose made her profile appear clear and resolute. Though her thin lips were not adorned with red, they possessed an undeniable strength and charm. Her long hair was meticulously tied back, revealing her smooth forehead and full ears.
Judging from her appearance alone, An Xin's looks and temperament definitely deserve the title of "police flower".
"Where was Mr. Ling on the day Gao Qiang died?"
“I’m at the company, and this surveillance footage can prove it.”
"And what about Ms. Ling?"
An Xin glanced at Ling Lan beside her. When she saw that the other woman had called on her, the mature maid sat there silently, her eyes filled with coldness.
"Her? She was there too, resting in the car at the time."
Ling Yun realized something was wrong. An Xin's feelings for him weren't low, but her purpose in coming here this time seemed to be somewhat impure.
“I checked Ms. Ling Lan’s route that day and found that she went to a tower not far from the scene of the incident earlier. I also asked the surrounding residents, who all remembered seeing her.”
"Officer An, does your chief know you're here?" Ling Yun's words carried a different tone. "If I remember correctly, this case should have been closed by now."
"The bureau chief really doesn't know..."
Upon hearing this, Ling Lan immediately stood up, and An Xin also stood up as if they were facing off.
“Officer An, if you really have any questions, I can help you answer them,” Ling Yun said, sitting there. “However, if you suspect that Ling Lan is involved in this case, then please leave.”
"I apologize for disturbing you, Mr. Ling."
An Xin took a step back, saluted Ling Yun, picked up her hat, and left.
After she went downstairs, she sighed softly.
Lai Xiaobao admitted that he was the one who detonated the explosives and confessed to his crime. However, since he participated in the police's plan, it can be considered that he made amends for his crime.
But she always had a premonition that Lai Xiaobao was just pushed out, and that the person behind the scenes was someone else.
Through her investigation, she discovered a highly suspicious individual: Ling Lan.
She had read Ling Lan's file, and it was too clean, so clean that it seemed to be fabricated, with no flaws to be found.
Everyone knows that Ling Yun orchestrated Gao Qiang's death, but according to the laws of the Dragon Kingdom, Gao Qiang did deserve to die, but not by being blown up; he should have been killed through legal procedures.
As for the director's claim that Gao Qiang was special and could not be killed by ordinary methods, she did not believe it. No matter how high one's martial arts skills are, can they stop a bullet?
Capturing Gao Qiang has always been her obsession. The reason why this operation has progressed so smoothly is thanks to her master's more than ten years of tracking and investigation, as well as her efforts in recent years.
Her master was killed by Gao Qiang, but it was staged as an accidental car accident.
When Anxin saw her body in the morgue, she almost fainted from crying.
Now that Gao Qiang is dead, she can't be happy because she only recognizes the justice of the legal system, not vigilante justice.
She drove to her master's grave, took off her police hat, respectfully placed the flowers in her hand under the tombstone, and wiped the acrylic photo with a handkerchief.
She waited a moment, and as she was about to put her hat back on, she suddenly noticed a gold-embossed business card inside.
"Ling Yun?"
Looking at the name on the business card, An Xin realized that the other party must have secretly put it there before she left Ling Yun's office. Her mind was on the case and her master, and she hadn't noticed it for a moment.
After thinking about it, An Xin still saved Ling Yun's phone number and also searched for his "Green Bubble" (a nickname for a phone number) by number, and found that it really existed.
Less than a minute after she sent the application, Lingyun approved it and even sent her a "hello" emoji.
Anxin responded with a similar expression and put her phone back in her pocket.
She still wanted to get to the bottom of the case. Being direct might not work, so she tried to see if she could get any information out of Ling Yun.
Inside the office, Ling Lan hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't, making it seem like she was completely speechless.
"Just say what you want to say. Is there anything between us that we can't talk about?"
"Master, should we take An Xin..."
"Alright, alright, put away your dangerous thoughts!" Ling Yun pulled her into his arms. "You're afraid I'll have nothing better to do, so you want to cause some trouble, right?"
"No, I mean, Master should subdue Anxin as soon as possible, so as to avoid a lot of trouble."
"That's possible, but this girl is very wary, so it will be difficult to increase her favorability."
"I just slipped my owner's business card into her hat. She should have noticed by now, right?"
Ling Yun stared at the maid in his arms, pinching her cheeks with his hands, forcing her to pout: "You're pretty quick, how come I didn't notice?"
"The master was staring at An Xin the whole time, so of course he didn't notice."
"is it?"
Ling Yun used his other hand to play with her lips to hide his embarrassment.
Ling Lan knew that Ling Yun would definitely not let go of any female lead, and An Xin's identity was special. If he really brought her into the harem, it would also benefit Ling Yun.
In the afternoon, Ling Shuang brought Wu Qianyi a document.
"Qianyi, your father's work injury certificate has been issued, and the compensation will arrive this month."
"Mr. Ling, thank you so much!"
Overwhelmed with emotion, Wu Qianyi bowed deeply to Ling Shuang. The female CEO crossed her arms and looked at Ling Yun beside her, saying, "If we're going to thank someone, we should thank Chairman Ling. If it weren't for him, the other party wouldn't have backed down so quickly."
"That fat bastard is so annoying!"
Mentioning the person in charge of her father's former workplace, Wu Qianyi's face turned red with anger. If that person were in front of her now, she would want to slap him a couple of times.
Ling Shuang walked to Ling Yun's side, placed her hands on his table, and leaned slightly forward: "Are you free tonight?"
"Did you take your medicine?" Ling Yun asked in return.
"After drinking it, I don't know if it's just my imagination, but my stomach felt much better after drinking it for the first time today."
"Then let's talk about it after your relative leaves."
Ling Shuang was amused by him and moved a little closer to him: "Besides this, is there nothing else you do when you're with me?"
I have plans tonight.
"And with which beauty this time?"
