Chapter 104: Utilize

While speaking, the two looked at each other.

Feeling the hot breath blowing over her, Fujiwara Rina felt as if her whole body were about to melt, her cheeks turning red and hot.

Her swan‑like white neck was covered with a charming pink hue.

The room was silent.

Only Fujiwara Rina's little heart went 'thump‑thump', beating faster and faster.

Chen Yongren said softly, "Then listen to the madam!"

"How annoying, you still call me that?" Fujiwara Rina laughed angrily, swung her fist and turned to hit Chen Yongren.

Unexpectedly, she slipped and sprained her ankle.

"Ah!" The sharp pain made her cry out involuntarily, and she couldn't stand, collapsing straight down.

Fortunately, Chen Yongren was quick‑handed and quick‑eyed, grabbing her in one motion: "Rina, what's wrong?"

"I sprained my foot." Fujiwara Rina frowned.

"Is it serious? Otherwise I'll take you to the hospital." Chen Yongren said.

Fujiwara Rina bent over to check her ankle, waved her hand and said, "No need, but I'm afraid I can't stand."

Chen Yongren glanced around and said, "Then let me help you sit down and give you a rub?"

Fujiwara Rina nodded: "Mm."

Chen Yongren immediately helped her onto a chair, then squatted down and asked, "Is it the left foot?"

"Yes, Chen Sang." Fujiwara Rina answered somewhat shyly.

"Come on, take off your shoes and socks, I'll check them." Chen Yongren said, not waiting for her agreement, and swiftly removed her shoes and socks.

He held her small foot and examined it carefully.

"Does it hurt here?"

"No." Feeling a little itchy, Fujiwara Rina unconsciously pulled her foot back, meeting Chen Yongren's gaze, she shook her head somewhat embarrassedly.

Then she pointed to the ankle: "It's here, Chen Sang."

Chen Yongren looked over and saw that her white ankle was somewhat red and swollen; it really was a sprain.

So he said, "Rina, find a comfortable position and sit; I'll give you a massage, guaranteeing the pain and swelling will soon go away."

"Chen Sang, you also know foot therapy?" Fujiwara Rina was a little surprised.

"Not only do I know foot therapy, I'm also skilled in massage; I know all the body's acupoints like the back of my hand." Chen Yongren said solemnly, "Traditional Chinese massage is very useful; you'll know once you try it."

"Mm, thank you, Chen Sang." Fujiwara Rina nodded, shifted her body, and let herself almost recline in the chair.

This way her legs don't need to bear weight, and it's convenient for Chen Yongren to massage her.

Possibly Chen Yongren's technique is too good, making it too comfortable.

Fujiwara Rina not only stopped crying out in pain, but unknowingly drifted off to sleep.

After a while, Fujiwara Rina finally woke up, she instinctively stretched, revealing her fine figure without doubt.

Yet she was surprised to see Chen Yongren sitting right opposite her.

Immediately feeling a bit embarrassed, she said, "Chen Sang, sorry, I actually fell asleep; your massage made me too comfortable."

"It's fine, you might just be too tired, which is why you fell asleep so quickly."

Chen Yongren lit a cigarette and spoke while smoking.

Fujiwara Rina looked at Chen Yongren and thought his smoking pose was very handsome.

"By the way, how long did I sleep??"

"About an hour or so." Chen Yongren exhaled a smoke ring and said.

"Ah? That long?" Fujiwara Rina, surprised, then asked, "And how long did you massage me?"

"One hour!" Chen Yongren blurted out.

"You've gone to all this trouble for me, Chen Sang, I'm really sorry." Fujiwara Rina felt overwhelmed: "I really don't know how to repay Chen Sang."

"Hey Chen Sang, if there's anything you need me to help with, just tell me!"

Chen Yongren took another puff and said, "Actually there is one thing I need your help with—I'm just not sure if it's convenient."

"Huh?" Fujiwara Rina's eyes lit up; "Chen Sang, please speak."

"The Fujiwara director has been keeping some distance from me lately." Chen Yongren said, "Can you keep an eye on what the Fujiwara director has been busy with recently?"

"If I could know his thoughts, perhaps he would value me, be willing to promote me, keep me by his side, and then I'd have more chances to teach you Chinese and give you massages."

A woman who can't even steal information is no different from a waste; we must use Fujiwara Rina to help me investigate Fujiwara Jintai's movements.

Fujiwara Rina didn't think much, readily agreed: "Okay, Chen Sang, I'll secretly keep an eye out for you and make sure he doesn't notice!"

"Chen Sang's suggestion is indeed good; if I can help him achieve merit, we'll have more chances to meet."

"Watching Jintai is also doing work for him; I'm not really making a mistake."

"Hmm…" Fujiwara Rina thought for a moment, then said, "Come to think of it, Jintai really has been worried about something."

"Oh?" Chen Yongren.

Fujiwara Rina immediately told Chen Yongren about Yu Gong He Ren's matter.

"Thank you, Rina." Chen Yongren praised.

Yu Gong He Ren, the deputy agency director, doesn't get along with Fujiwara Jintai, and his backer is Qi Chuan Gong Xiu Zai.

Although the Fujiwara clan is also considered a prominent family, even with its influence it's hard to radiate to the local Songhu area.

There's no match for Qi Chuan Gong Xiu Zai, this actual chief of the Hua Xia Special High Section.

"Don't be polite, Chen Sang." Fujiwara Rina also said, "As long as I can help you, that's fine."
