Chapter 255: Acting like a big shot

Dead people don't speak.

Just like Lin Niansheng back then.

Liu Yunshen's face darkened.

"Alright, I understand."

They hung up the phone.

He lit a cigarette and, facing the night sky outside the window, puffed out clouds.

Xu Bin, Xu Bin.

Everyone has their own fate.

Since your fate is unfavorable,

then you can't blame others.

The late-night Anti-Corruption Bureau.

Inside the interrogation room.

Zhou Wanting turned the chair beneath her, closed her eyes, and remained silent.

Meanwhile Xu Bin took a piece of paper and wiped the smudge off his glasses.

This state had been maintained for half an hour.

Xu Bin said that claiming he wasn't panicked inside was false.

How could he not be panicked?

Just the ground beneath his feet, just the interrogation room he was in.

How many corrupt officials who came in here never got out.

What's more, he was just a lowly secretary.

It was merely that profit outweighed fear.

Just get through these 48 hours.

Once he safely returns to the provincial capital, he'll have everything.

Thinking this, Xu Bin couldn't help but let out a low laugh.

"Hehe."

"Deputy Section Chief Zhou, if you have nothing to ask, you might as well just let me go!"

"If we keep dragging this out, we're just wasting each other's time!"

Upon hearing that,

Zhou Wanting still kept her eyes closed.

Only the corner of her mouth curled into a mocking smile.

Thump thump thump.

A knocking sound rang out.

A colleague pushed the door open and walked in.

Holding two bags of late-night snacks.

The aroma of cumin chili noodles instantly filled the entire interrogation room.

Xu Bin had been hungry since noon and was now starving.

The late-night snacks were placed on the table.

He directly licked his lips and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Gulp.

Only then did Zhou Wanting open her eyes.

"Want something to eat?"

Xu Bin had been waiting for exactly those words.

He immediately nodded and said, "Eat, eat, eat!"

Zhou Wanting gave a glance to the colleague.

Soon, a portion of late-night snacks was placed in front of him.

As it turned out, this woman had prepared his portion from the start.

Xu Bin thought happily.

He picked up his chopsticks and began eating eagerly.

"Mmm, fragrant!"

Zhou Wanting had eaten the meal packed by Zhao Chen earlier that evening.

Faced with this delicious late-night snack, she actually had little appetite.

She poked at the vermicelli in her bowl and asked lightly, "How long have you been with Liu Yunshen?"

"Don't even get me started—your Pingzhou late-night snacks are really well done!"

Xu Bin acted as if he hadn't heard.

He muttered to himself.

Zhou Wanting furtively glanced at him.

"You shouldn't be unfamiliar with the name Lin Niansheng, right?"

"Hiss... it's a bit hot!"

Xu Bin sucked in a few breaths of cool air.

He put down his chopsticks and asked, "Is there any cold drink? Give me a cup!"

Zhou Wanting's mouth corners lifted.

"Sure."

She stood up, smiling, and said, "I'll personally pour it for you!"

Xu Bin watched her retreating back.

That little perky butt swayed, and he really wanted to slap it to test the feel.

Not long after.

Zhou Wanting then came in holding a cup filled with ice.

Xu Bin reached out and took it.

Smelling her alluring perfume, he couldn't help but smile and say, "Deputy Section Chief Zhou, with your excellent conditions, it's a real waste to be stuck in Pingzhou; you'd be better off coming with me to the provincial capital, where you'd surely earn more than here!"

Zhou Wanting leaned seductively beside the table.

She bent down to look at Xu Bin's crimson face.

"Isn't it very spicy?"

Xu Bin shook his head: "It's okay, I can tolerate this level!"

After saying that, he picked up a slice of bread covered in red oil and shoved it into his mouth.

His entire eyeball was covered in red bloodshot.

But he's a man.

Self-esteem always comes first.

Xu Bin sniffled, struggling to keep his facial features balanced.

"I'm not bragging, this level of spiciness is just my appetizer!"

Zhou Wanting let out a light scoff: "If you can't handle it, don't eat it—look at your face!"

Those who don't know might think it's a monkey's butt.

Xu Bin wanted to maintain his genteel appearance while also trying to act big in front of Zhou Wanting.

He directly lifted the spicy soup and took a big gulp.

Slurp slurp.

"Refreshing!"

Zhou Wanting's brows furrowed tightly.

She gritted her teeth and said, "You're impressive!"

"Eat first, I'm going to the restroom!"

Zhou Wanting grabbed a few sheets of paper and walked out with a graceful figure.

As the door closed.

Xu Bin suddenly grabbed the cold drink on the table.

He directly poured the ice cubes into his mouth.

Crunching crisply.

Watching as he drank down the entire cup of iced drink.

But the spiciness in his mouth didn't lessen at all.

Xu Bin couldn't help shouting outside: "Is anyone there? Help me pour a cold drink!"

The person who came in ignored his words.

With a dark face, he tidied up the things on the table.

"Hiss..."

"I want a cold drink!"

Xu Bin repeated.

The other person gave a cold smile: "Heh, you think this is a supermarket? Whatever you want, you get?"

Bang.

The door of the interrogation room was closed again.

Xu Bin frustratedly grabbed a handful of his hair.

That wave of spiciness was wildly spreading inside his body.

His skin was entirely red.

In a short moment, his clothes were already soaked with sweat.

Having no choice, Xu Bin had to take off his suit.

He paced back and forth in the interrogation room.

At this moment he looked nothing like a genteel person.

His tie was askew, and all the shirt buttons were undone.

His hair was messy, resembling a bird's nest.

His mouth kept spewing profanity.

"Cao!"

"How did you make me this spicy!"

"I can't even get a damn cold drink!"

"These damn bastards!"

"Wait till I get out and see how I'll deal with you!"

A period of time passed.

Xu Bin looked at the watch on his wrist.

He couldn't help but feel suspicious.

Zhou Wanting has been gone for so long, why hasn't she come back yet?

The spicy feeling lessened a bit.

Xu Bin sat down again, shaking his leg anxiously.

At that moment.

A wave of abdominal pain struck.

Xu Bin clutched his stomach, silently thinking it was bad.

This feeling…

No, I'm about to explode!

Bang bang bang!

The door of the interrogation room was slammed by him.

"Is anyone out there?"

"I need to go to the toilet!"

"Hurry up, I can't hold it!"

Xu Bin shouted in despair.

But outside the door there was no movement at all.

His face, which had just faded, turned red again.

And it seemed a large amount of gas had built up inside his body, ready to burst.

But he dared not release it.

Fearful that if he couldn't hold it, everything would come out.

"Come someone, please!"

"If I poop in here, you won't be able to clean it up!"

"Deputy Section Chief Zhou, where the hell did you go? Did you fall into a pit?"

Xu Bin continued pounding on the door.

However, inside this huge Anti-Corruption Bureau, it seemed besides him there were no other living people.

The feeling of abdominal pain came in waves.

Xu Bin couldn't stand normally, clutching his stomach and pressing his legs together, feeling extremely uncomfortable as he returned to the chair.

He picked up the empty cup on the table that held cold drinks, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes.

Maybe he could try using it?

But soon he dismissed that idea.

Because he felt this thing simply couldn't hold it all!

"Cao…"

"They intend to deliberately kill me!"

"That late-night snack definitely has something fishy!"

Xu Bin realized this.

Unfortunately, it's too late.

He was so strained his face twisted.

The veins on his forehead bulged one by one.
