Chapter 924: Chapter 661: Brother Yang Xiao (Happy Valentine’s Day!)_2
"Xiao Brother, could you please take me back to my room?" As they passed the elevator, Chi Dan acted coquettishly, refusing to go any further and naughtily reaching for Yang Xiao’s abs.
"This..."
Chi Dan smiled, leaned in close to Yang Xiao’s ear, and exhaled softly, "Brother Yang Xiao, if you take me back to my room, I’ll tell you a secret about the Chamber of Commerce investigation. There’s something in there that you care about."
"Don’t trick me." Yang Xiao was only partially convinced.
"How annoying, if I trick you, I’ll compensate you by giving myself to you, is that enough?" Chi Dan pinched Yang Xiao’s abdomen gently, grumbling in feigned anger.
Before long, Yang Xiao followed Chi Dan into the elevator, but they didn’t notice that not far outside the corridor, two people were standing, one of whom was an old acquaintance of Yang Xiao’s.
"Our Director Yang really does lead a charmed life," the middle-aged man in front of them sneered, his bulky suit unable to conceal his robust figure.
Sheng Youjun, changed into a different outfit, leaned against the wall and looked towards the elevator area, holding a glass of red wine. As he gently swirled his wrist, the wine spin in the glass, resembling a thick pool of blood, he disdainfully said, "Don’t mind him, he’s just a grasshopper after autumn; let him jump around for a few more days. There will be a time when he won’t be able to laugh."
"How’s the task I gave you coming along?" Sheng Youjun suddenly changed the subject, looking at the middle-aged man.
"There’s news already. After escaping from Rongcheng, the person went west. Our people have been on the trail and found a place called Xiang Ma Town. It’s quite chaotic there, a no-man’s land, full of all sorts. The person is likely hiding there."
"Then go in and search, by all means, you must dig them out for me alive this time."
"Understood." The middle-aged man nodded.
Taking the elevator, Yang Xiao and Chi Dan arrived at the top floor. Only then did they realize that the corridor was deserted, eerily quiet, as if it had been cleared in advance.
Together they entered the suite and, like a couple, headed for the business room provided by the suite. True to her word, Chi Dan used her personal key to open the safe nearby, pulled out a file bag, and handed it to Yang Xiao.
The file bag felt substantial in his hands. It was sealed, with the word ’confidential’ written across the seal. Yang Xiao couldn’t wait to open it, but when he did, he was dumbfounded to find nothing but a stack of white paper inside.
"There’s nothing..."
Yang Xiao was bewildered. Before he could question it, someone pushed him over, causing him to fall back into the thick, comfortable leather chair. Before he could react, someone straddled his legs. Chi Dan cradled his face in her hands, their eyes locked, gazing at those sultry, soul-snatching eyes, feeling the softness in front of him and on his legs, his mind went blank.
Chi Dan then hugged Yang Xiao to her chest, pressing his head against her bosom. Yang Xiao instinctively reached out, his movement somewhat deformed. He was unsure whether to embrace the woman or push her away. After hesitating for half a second, his hand landed on her waist. Through her skirt, he could feel the fine texture of her skin underneath.
"Don’t touch me carelessly, I’m... empty inside..." Chi Dan tightened her hug on Yang Xiao, pressing his head into her chest and leaning down to whisper in his ear with a soft chuckle.
Yang Xiao suddenly looked up, meeting Chi Dan’s bewitching eyes. Whether it was a reflection or she was wearing colored contacts, her enticing eyes were filled with a mesmerizing purple, swirling with strange patterns.
Eye to eye, in the blink of an instant, Yang Xiao’s last lines of defense collapsed. He kissed Chi Dan’s lips like a madman, voraciously devouring that softness that had captivated countless men. Chi Dan, in turn, wrapped her arms tightly around Yang Xiao’s neck, almost hanging herself on him, responding to his every demand.
The two stumbled from the business room to the bedroom while kissing. Just as Yang Xiao was about to throw the woman onto the bed and proceed further, his entire body suddenly stiffened, and he fell straight backward, crashing heavily onto the floor.
This scene shocked Chi Dan on the bed. Yang Xiao, lying on the floor, did not pass out but began convulsing violently, clutching his chest and contorting in pain, as if having a heart attack.
"Yang Xiao... Brother Yang Xiao!!" Chi Dan panicked, leaping off the bed and rushing to Yang Xiao’s side. "What’s wrong with you? Are you alright?"
After struggling for over ten seconds, Yang Xiao finally stilled. Lying on the ground, limbs spread wide and gasping for air, Chi Dan didn’t understand what had happened but he knew. Just moments ago, an icy hand had seized his heart and squeezed it viciously.
Seeing that Yang Xiao was coming around, Chi Dan finally relaxed. But the night’s events were over. Yang Xiao declined Chi Dan’s offer to take him to the hospital. He quickly dressed, gathered his belongings, and left in a disheveled state.
Not until he got on the elevator did the fear in Yang Xiao’s heart subside even slightly—he was well aware it was his big sister who had lent a hand just now.
As he stealthily left from the back door of the hotel and passed by the parking lot, a car suddenly honked nearby, startling Yang Xiao. However, when the car window went down, Yang Xiao was surprised to find Fu Qingzhu inside.
"Get in!"
After getting into the passenger seat, Yang Xiao looked at him, somewhat surprised, "Why are you here?"
"Waiting for you, of course. Who else would be out here in the middle of the night, freezing their butt off?" Fu Qingzhu skillfully started the car, quickly driving out of the parking lot and merging into the flow of traffic on the street.
"What are you waiting for me for?" Yang Xiao was puzzled. "How did you know I would leave from the back door?"
"With so many people waiting for you at the front door, wanting to rub shoulders with you, wouldn’t you naturally slip out the back?" Fu Qingzhu turned his head, his smile subtly teasing as he looked at him, "Brother, you smell really nice by the way. Seems like I came at the wrong time."
"Don’t talk nonsense, Miss Chi Dan and I are innocent," Yang Xiao immediately retorted.
"Oh look at you, I didn’t even ask and you’re confessing. Doesn’t that mean you’re admitting it without being asked?" Fu Qingzhu laughed. "Now in Rongcheng, even a fool can see Miss Chi Dan likes you. Do you know what they are calling you out there?"
Yang Xiao suddenly had a bad feeling: "What?"
"The Little Director of Patrols, and the Chamber of Commerce’s Favorite Son-in-Law," Fu Qingzhu laughed even more, knowing it was good news that his brother had the backing of a powerful figure.
"There’s really nothing between us, forget it, I won’t explain anymore, the more I say, the worse it sounds," Yang Xiao leaned back in his seat, aimlessly looking out the window.
"Tired?" asked Fu Qingzhu.
"Not tired."
"Want a smoke?"
"I don’t smoke."
"A cigarette after the deed, you feel like an immortal, but if you don’t smoke afterwards, you’re still in the mortal world either way," Fu Qingzhu lit one for himself.
Seeing Yang Xiao quiet down, Fu Qingzhu stopped teasing him and took out a dossier bag from beside him, tossing it to him casually.
"Take a look."
After opening it, Yang Xiao read it and his expression turned serious, "Where did these come from?" Inside was intelligence concerning himself, showing he had been to Xiang Ma Town and was entangled with some of the local powers.
"Our United Federation’s leader got it; I’m not clear about the specifics. The plan was to release it before the election and use it to strike against you, but I managed to stop it with some excuses."
Yang Xiao knew that Fu Qingzhu must be under considerable pressure to do these things, as he focused on driving ahead, speaking in light tones. To have a brother go to such lengths was truly indescribable.
"Bro, you’ve gone through a lot for me." Yang Xiao, who hadn’t shed a tear even when the female ghost Drama Robe clutched his heart, was actually moved to tears at this moment.
However, this scene caused a misunderstanding in Fu Qingzhu, who immediately shrank back sensitively, saying defensively, "That... We’re brothers, no question about that, but if you’re thinking of taking it to the next level, I’d advise you to kill that thought."
"Fine fine fine, so this is how you think of me, the affection’s gone cold," Yang Xiao’s burgeoning emotion instantly dissolved, half gone as he leaned back in his seat, panting heavily.
