Officer Xiao Lin’s eyes widened in disbelief as Reporter Su finished speaking.
But he dared not say anything, only pressing the accelerator again, speeding up.
In the back seat, Chen Ziming lowered his gaze, his arm around her tightening.
“Don’t talk nonsense,” he replied in a hoarse whisper.
But Su Yue couldn’t hear him.
She forced herself to sit up, but felt utterly weak.
“Don’t move,” Chen Ziming supported her, preventing her from slumping.
“I want to sit on your lap,” Su Yue mumbled softly.
Chen Ziming’s face darkened, he remained silent.
“I want a kiss…”
Still no response.
“I want… mmm…”
Before she could finish, the man covered her mouth.
This action caused her great displeasure, and she finally pushed him, sitting up slightly.
The next second, relying on instinct, she skillfully climbed onto his lap, exerting all her strength, and straddled him.
This time, he did not stop her.
Instead, he let her be unruly, and in the end, even instinctively reached out, his palm landing on her buttocks.
With a slight push, he urged her forward.
Xiao Lin, waiting for the red light, saw this scene through the rearview mirror and was utterly stunned.
He thought the words spoken earlier were shocking enough.
He never expected this!
“Watch the road,” Director Chen’s deep voice came.
“Oh! Yes, Director Chen.” Xiao Lin immediately shifted his gaze.
In the back seat.
“Help me… I can’t undo your belt…” the person trying to unbuckle his belt complained with a pout.
“You can’t undo it,” Director Chen’s small hand was held, his voice sternly stopping her.
“If I don’t undo it, how do we…” She was clearly disappointed, her hand still held, unable to move.
“We don’t,” his voice grew deeper.
“Oh…” she replied absently.
But she raised her head again, driven by instinct, and lunged to kiss the man before her.
Chen Ziming’s body stiffened for a moment. He wanted to pull her off him, but ultimately couldn't bear to.
Not only couldn't he bear it,
but he even released the hand holding her.
Just like before, he wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her close to his chest.
…
“Director Chen…” Another traffic light and they would be at the hospital. Xiao Lin was panicking.
Where should he be?
What should he say?
Should he get out of the car!
“Mm.” Called by him, Chen Ziming regained his composure, easily pulled away the girl clinging to him, and responded.
“We’re almost…”
“No more fooling around,” in the back seat, Director Chen frowned, avoiding Su Yue’s attempt to kiss him again.
The kiss landed on his cheek.
Xiao Lin immediately dared not make a sound.
Fortunately, their Director Chen had regained his senses. “Stop at the emergency entrance, I’ll carry her down.”
At the hospital.
The doctor started an IV drip for Su Yue to accelerate the circulation and metabolism of the drug in her body.
Chen Ziming called Li Niannian, instructing her to look after Su Yue, and then drove away.
He first went to the police station handling those people to get the drug identification report.
Then he found a phone number and called.
“Director Zhu, I am Chen Ziming from the Public Security Bureau’s Public Order Administration. I have an urgent matter to discuss with you.”
After agreeing on a meeting place, he drove there.
Once everything was handled, he went back to the hospital to relieve Li Niannian.
…
The next day, when Su Yue woke up, it was already close to noon.
On the chair beside her, a man’s figure was leaning.
She couldn’t see clearly, only felt her mouth dry and wanted water.
Her hand was weak, and even with effort, it only moved a little.
“Awake?” The man suddenly sat up properly in the chair, his handsome face leaning in front of her, asking in a hoarse voice.
Su Yue was groggy for a while before she could understand what he was asking.
Chen Ziming pressed the call button by the bed, and a nurse quickly entered.
“She’s only awake now; it will take a while for her to be fully lucid. Drink more water, urinate frequently, it will speed up metabolism,” the nurse said after looking at the IV drip, removing it and giving instructions.
Chen Ziming acknowledged, picked up the water cup by the bed, took out a disposable straw he had gotten from the milk tea shop, inserted it, and fed her water.
Upon drinking the water, Su Yue finally felt a tiny bit clearer.
