Unbridled, Depraved

Chapter 288 Lai Kang

In the presidential suite of a five-star hotel, thick blackout curtains keep the sunlight out, making the room dim and quiet.

The retro clock on the wall pointed to three o'clock in the afternoon, and Shen Qianhe woke up slowly from his sleep.

She blinked her sleepy eyes, and what came into view was Xie Jincheng's handsome face that was so close to her.

He was sleeping soundly, his long eyelashes casting a small shadow under his eyes, his thin lips slightly pursed under his high nose bridge, his usual sharpness faded, revealing a rare gentleness.

Shen Qianhe held his breath, afraid of disturbing his sweet dream.

She gently raised her hand, and traced his outline with her fingertips through the air.

From the handsome brow bones, to the high nose bridge, to the sexy lip line, every detail made her heart beat faster.

An indescribable sweetness spreads in my heart, like melted honey in spring, seeping into my heart bit by bit.

She suddenly felt that it would be nice to start over and date like a normal couple.

She slowly lifted the quilt, pinched the corner of the quilt with her fingertips, and pulled herself out of the warm bed little by little.

She stepped barefoot on the soft carpet and looked back.

Xie Jincheng was still sleeping quietly, his breathing steady and long, his chest rising and falling slightly with his breathing, and there was a hint of weariness between his brows.

The corners of her mouth unconsciously lifted up, and a gentle smile appeared in her eyes.

Shen Qianhe tiptoed into the bathroom, turned on the shower, and warm water poured down, and misty steam quickly spread.

When I came out, Xie Jincheng was still asleep.

Shen Qianhe stood beside the bed, looking down at him, the scene of last night involuntarily emerging in his mind.

He was like a possessed man, demanding it over and over again until she was exhausted and begged for mercy.

Thinking of this, her ears felt slightly hot.

Forget it, let him sleep a little longer.

Shen Qianhe picked up the phone on the bedside table very carefully, afraid to make any noise.

She tiptoed out of the bedroom, closed the door gently, and came into the spacious living room.

She curled up in the soft sofa, turned on her cell phone, and a series of missed calls and WeChat messages immediately popped up on the screen.

At the front were messages from Gu Wanwan and Shi Yue, which had similar contents and were both expressing concern for her situation.

Shen Qianhe clicked on them one by one, tapping his fingertips on the screen and replying to them one by one.

After sending the message, she felt a warm feeling in her heart. It felt so good to have friends caring about her.

When she slid to the bottom, her eyes suddenly stopped.

Zheng Huan's name suddenly appeared on the screen, with two missed calls and a short message below: [Sister Qianhe, call me back if you see this.]

The call was connected quickly, and Zheng Huan's voice was a little anxious.

"Sister Chizuru! You finally answered the phone!"

"Huanhuan, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Sister Qianhe, my friend found out about Lai Kang's recent schedule. He will attend a celebrity cocktail party next month. If possible, can you take me with you?"

"The Lai Kang you're talking about, is he the inspector who has the video of Lele falling from the building?"

"Well, that's him!"

Shen Qianhe agreed without hesitation: "Okay, no problem. Send me the details of the cocktail party and I'll find a way to get a spot."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Qianhe breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to turn around and go back to the bedroom, he suddenly bumped into a solid chest.

She was startled and looked up suddenly, meeting Xie Jincheng's deep eyes.

He had woken up at some point and was now standing behind her, looking lazy but with a hint of inquiry.

"Ah! How come you walk without making any sound? You scared me!"

Shen Qianhe covered her chest, pouted and complained, with a hint of coquettishness in her tone.

Xie Jincheng raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his lips curled up in an arc that seemed to be a smile: "Who said that I walked without making any sound? You were too focused and didn't notice it."

He said, taking a step forward, his long arms naturally wrapping around her waist, pulling her close to him.

His body temperature came through the thin pajamas, bringing a reassuring warmth.

"Who are you calling?"

He lowered his head, his voice low and gentle, but with a possessiveness that could not be ignored.

Shen Qianhe looked up at him and weighed the matter in his mind.

She knew that to accomplish this task, her own strength and Zheng Huan's strength alone might not be enough, and Xie Jincheng's resources and means were undoubtedly the most powerful help.

So she decided not to hide anything and told him the whole story.

After listening to this, Xie Jincheng narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "I know Lai Kang. He has become famous in the police force in the past two years, but he was just a small detective with no power before."

"More than a decade ago, he accidentally saved the daughter of a congressman in an emergency. The incident caused a sensation at the time and was widely reported by the media. Lai Kang became famous overnight."

"Even more coincidentally, he and the congressman's daughter quickly fell in love and got married not long after."

"After they got married, his wife used her father's connections to push him up to a high position step by step. In addition, he also handled several major cases that made a sensation across the country, and was appreciated by his superiors. Now, he can be said to have a bright future."

At this point, he turned his gaze to Shen Qianhe, "Such a person may seem to be in great glory on the surface, but in reality, every step he takes is inseparable from the support of his wife's family. It is precisely because of this that his background is complicated and the interests involved are far more than we imagined."

Shen Qianhe listened attentively, frowned slightly, and asked in a low voice: "Then...wouldn't it be more difficult for us to get the information from him?"

Xie Jincheng chuckled and reached out to ruffle her hair. "Whether it's difficult or not depends on how you do it. People in high positions like him have more flaws. Don't worry, I will help you with this matter."

Shen Qianhe's eyes lit up instantly, and a delighted smile spread across his face: "Really? Thank you so much!"

She was so excited that she hugged Xie Jincheng's face and kissed him hard, her voice full of coquettishness and admiration: "I know my husband is the best!"
