“Did you meet him in the company? Did he make things difficult for you?’ Feng Jing knew Jiang Xing was a scoundrel, so he was inevitably worried that Yin Tao would encounter trouble.
“It’s nothing, but he did recognize me.”
Yin Tao felt that Jiang Xing wasn’t much of a threat to her. After all, with his intelligence, it wasn’t that easy for him to scheme against her.
‘Why don’t you stop going to the Wan Corporation? After all, you work in the police station. If Wan Zhe finds out, he will definitely suspect your motive.”
Feng Jing understood Wan Zhe’s temper. He was not the type to think through things carefully. Usually, his methods were very direct and decisive. If he really suspected Yin Tao, Wan Zhe would definitely treat her as an enemy.
It would be fine if Wan Zhe had nothing to do with the black market. At most, Yin Tao would be fired. However, if Wan Zhe was really related to the black market, Yin Tao’s situation would really be dangerous.
“It’s fine. I’ll be more careful. If it really doesn’t work, I’ll go to the police station. I don’t believe that Wan Zhe will dare to directly go against the police. Yin Tao felt that Wan Zhe still appeared to be law-abiding after all. It was unlikely that he would expose himself to the police just to deal with a small fry like her.
Seeing that Yin Tao was still unmoved, Feng Jing could not persuade her anymore. He only instructed her to keep in touch with him whenever she encountered trouble.
“Then have a good rest. I’ll send you to work tomorrow morning.”
After Feng Jing finished speaking, he was about to get up and leave when he heard Yin Tao, who was sitting on the small sofa, ask, “Brother Feng, are you going to sleep in the hall?”
Feng Jing nodded. It was not a big deal for him to sleep on the sofa. After all, he used to sleep in the car when he was on a case in the past.
‘Why don’t you sleep on the bed?” Yin Tao tried laying down on the small sofa beside the bed. As she was relatively petite, she could fit nicely on the sofa. “I’ll sleep here. It’s too cold in the hall. Besides, Auntie said that you don’t even have a thick blanket.”
Feng Jing knew what Feng Ya was up to, but she wasn’t lying. He rarely had guests in his house, and he had a cleaning lady who regularly changed the sheets, as such he didn’t have any extra blankets.
“It’s fine. I’m not afraid of the cold. Rest early. Don’t worry about me.”
Hearing Feng Jing’s reply, Yin Tao stood up from the small sofa and said seriously, “Brother Feng, please take the bed. I already feel bad that you have to pick up from work. If I make you sleep in the hall on top of this, I really won’t be able to sleep.”
Seeing that Yin Tao insisted that he sleep on the bed, Feng Jing could only relent. He helped Yin Tao shift the blanket to the small sofa and covered himself with a coat.
When Yin Tao saw Feng Jing take the bed, she finally felt a little better.
Yin Tao felt bad for causing trouble for Feng Jing.
‘Xiaotao, I’m used to leaving a night light on when I sleep. Will it affect you?” Feng Jing turned on the night light in the bedroom and asked Yin Tao for her opinion.
“It’s alright, Brother Feng. I’m a heavy sleeper. I won’t be affected.” Yin Tao was curled up on the sofa. The blanket was tightly wrapped around her body, revealing only half of her face.
Feng Jing turned the lights to the dimmest. He closed his eyes under the coat, but his mind was exceptionally clear.
Yin Tao wasn’t any better. Although she was lying with her back facing Feng Jing, this was the first time the two of them were in the same space. Yin Tao couldn’t relax.
Yin Tao took deep breaths silently, trying to make herself calm down. She didn’t know what exactly she was nervous about, it’s not as if they were sleeping on the same bed!
Feng Jing noticed Yin Tao’s soft noises and asked her softly, “What’s wrong,
Xiaotao? Are you feeling uncomfortable on the sofa?”
When Yin Tao heard Feng Jing’s voice, her body unconsciously stiffened. “No, I just need to get used to sleeping in a different environment.”
“Then let’s chat.” Feng Jing looked at the petite figure on the sofa beside the bed and propped up his pillow.
When Yin Tao heard Feng Jing’s words, she tugged at the blanket nervously and sat up from the sofa. She looked at Feng Jing who was on the bed and said, “Alright, Brother Feng, what do you want to talk about?”
“Tell me about your plans for the past few years. A while ago, Yin Hao even asked me if there are any easier positions in the police station.”
Yin Tao didn’t expect that the conversation with Feng Jing would develop in such a way.. When she heard Feng Jing mention Yin Hao, Yin Tao asked unhappily, “Did my brother ask? Looks like he still doesn’t support my work..”
