Chapter 414: Lustful Heart, Cowardly Spirit

The County Public Security Bureau Director didn't give me any news, so I could only wait patiently. When a person has something on their mind, they are like an ant on a hot pan, restless.

I walked around the room in circles, as if there was no end.

At dusk, Li Lian called me, saying she had already invited Guan Peishan to the Huihuang Hotel.

I instructed her on the phone that no matter what method she used, she must not let Guan Peishan return to Qilin Villa. After hanging up her phone, I called Yu Wei and Zhu Huayu, asking them both to rush to the Huihuang Hotel to cooperate with Li Lian and keep Guan Peishan there.

I didn't tell them how long to keep him, just that without my call, no one was allowed to let Guan Peishan go back.

Such a clumsy instruction left all three of them astonished.

Li Lian even asked me when I would arrive. I laughed loudly and told her that when I finished the matter at hand, I would rush over immediately.

I had no intention of seeing Guan Peishan.

Looking at the sky getting dark outside, when people were hazy and unclear, I prepared to go out.

The County Committee residential compound was incredibly quiet, and every window revealed a gentle light. This was a moment for family reunion; in this small town in the mountains, home was a quiet harbor for everyone.

I quietly started the car and slipped out of the compound.

Not far from the gate, I saw Lin Xiaoxi walking on the side of the road, talking on the phone while walking.

I honked the horn, she turned back and saw it was me, and waved for me to stop.

As soon as the car stopped, she sat in impatiently, panting and asking me: "Chen Feng, have you seen the old Secretary?"

I shook my head and asked her what she wanted with old Secretary Guan?

Lin Xiaoxi said anxiously: "It's not me, it's Lao Can. Lao Can is looking for the old Secretary. It seems the old Secretary was invited away by some woman and there's no news."

I smiled faintly and said: "The old Secretary is an old hand in the world, what are you worried about?"

Lin Xiaoxi cried out: "Who said I was worried? I'm not worried."

I teased her: "You're not worried? Look at you, so anxious as if you'd lost some treasure."

"Nonsense." Lin Xiaoxi was full of displeasure; she could hear the sourness in my words. Lin Xiaoxi was a beauty, but the legend was that the flower had an owner. And that owner was the aging Guan Peishan. This made me a bit jealous, a bit resentful, and a bit pitiful.

"I really don't know." I said, not looking at her: "I still have things to do, do you have anything else?"

I was issuing an eviction order; Lin Xiaoxi heard the meaning in my words. She glared at me in dissatisfaction, opened the car door and jumped down, walking forward on her own.

I shouted a few times at her back, attracting a few people on the side of the road to look at me. I quickly stopped and started the car to follow.

Lin Xiaoxi saw me following, pursed her lips to hold back a laugh, but refused to get back in my car.

I shouted: "If you really don't get in, I'm leaving."

Lin Xiaoxi stood still, shouted with wide eyes: "You dare!"

I laughed: "What do I not dare to do."

We traded words, like a pair of young lovers bickering, on the hazy night streets of Chunshan County, deriving a song of human bliss.

We were both well-known figures in Chunshan County. Lin Xiaoxi was a beautiful anchor for the county television station, and I was the newly promoted Executive Deputy County Magistrate of Chunshan County. We both carried mystery, and now, bickering in broad daylight, this was such an interesting scene.

Therefore, after talking for a while, seeing people looking over, Lin Xiaoxi reluctantly sat in the car, pouting and saying: "If you have the ability, let's go to the County Cultural Square."

I wouldn't go there! The County Cultural Square was the landmark building of Chunshan County. On a square of about 30 acres, it was the time for all the common people in the county to take a walk.

I turned the car toward the road to Lin Xiaoxi's house; she saw it and said anxiously: "I'm not going back."

I asked strangely: "You're not going back? Where are you going?"

"None of your business."

"It's none of my business. But it's night now, I'm not at ease with you wandering outside alone."

"I'm not even afraid, what are you afraid of." She sneered: "Don't be hypocritical, go manage your Miss Huang. I don't need you to worry."

I laughed: "I can't manage anyone! I'll just send you home. Why would I manage you."

Lin Xiaoxi was still sneering, rolling her eyes at me and saying: "You have nothing to do, but I have something to do. The old Secretary is missing, I have to find him."

"Where are you going to find him? A man of the old Secretary's high prestige, could anything happen to him in Chunshan County? Don't go looking, you won't find him, why spend useless time doing meaningless things."

She turned her face, stared at me for a while, and said word by word: "Chen Feng, it seems this matter has something to do with you?"

I shook my head and denied: "No."

"I don't believe it."

"Believe it or not, it's up to you."

"Where are you going now?"

"Nowhere, just driving out to wander around."

"I'll go with you."

"Aren't you going to find someone?" I asked with a fake smile.

"Not looking anymore. If I find you, am I afraid I won't find the old Secretary?" Lin Xiaoxi said very firmly: "Chen Feng, you can't lie to me, you definitely have something hidden from me."

"No."

"The ghost believes you." She giggled, shaking like a flower.

I scared her: "You follow me, aren't you afraid of me? I'm not well-intentioned, you know."

Lin Xiaoxi stopped laughing, looked at me with contempt and said: "Stop bragging, okay! Just you? A person with a lustful heart but a cowardly spirit, can you eat me."

I was provoked by her, and my face felt a bit hot. A girl like Lin Xiaoxi, if it weren't for the old Secretary Guan standing in the middle, I really couldn't guarantee I hadn't had thoughts.

"Indeed I don't dare to eat. You are full of thorns, I'm afraid of pain." I laughed at myself.

"I bet you don't dare." She giggled: "Don't say you, whoever dares to have crooked thoughts about this girl, I'll make them pay."

I sighed: "Fierce!"

"There's even fiercer." She stretched her body, leaned lazily on the seat and said: "Let's get on the highway, do you dare to speed?"

My heart skipped a beat; a girl asking someone to speed on the highway at night, she must have something hidden in her heart, wanting to vent.

"Not afraid?"

"What am I afraid of? With you here, we are in the same boat, what am I afraid of." She closed her eyes slightly, breathing lightly, her chest rising and falling, and her style was born.

"You're looking for the old Secretary, nothing else?" I asked tentatively.

"Nothing. It's Lao Can looking for him. If he can't find him, he finds me." She answered me with her eyes closed.

"Where's Lao Can?"

"At Qilin Villa."

I said "Oh," it seemed Lao Can didn't know danger was coming, Guan Peishan's sudden disappearance perhaps made him a bit alert.

I said to Lin Xiaoxi: "You call Lao Can, just say you've found the old Secretary. The old Secretary wants to go back to the city to handle things and will be back in a few days."

Lin Xiaoxi opened her eyes, looking at me ignorantly: "What do you mean?"

"You don't care, just do as I say."

"I won't call."

"You must call."

"Why?"

"You'll understand later." I said, pulling the car to the side of the road.

Our car was about to enter the highway entrance, and I could see the lights of the toll station from afar.

"You must be up to something." Lin Xiaoxi stared at me suspiciously. I avoided her gaze and got out of the car.

She followed me down, stood by my side, stared at a dark forest by the side of the road, and said sadly: "I feel like something big is about to happen."

"Thinking too much." I pulled out a cigarette and lit it.

Lin Xiaoxi fidgeted for a moment, then suddenly said in a low voice: "Help me watch, I'm going to relieve myself."

She left me, slipped into the woods. In the dark night, I vaguely saw a line of white light flash, and she squatted down by a bush. ===== CHAPTER 415 =====
