Bloody Romance: I, the big troublemaker, Zhong Yuemin!

Liu Jing was skeptical, but she went around behind the desk and got closer. Zhong Yuemin handed her the photo.

Liu Jing took the photos and flipped through them one by one. Looking at the obscene images, her cheeks flushed even more, and she muttered under her breath:

"Wow...you really know how to have fun..."

Then he suddenly let out a soft "Eh."

"This... isn't this the girl who came to the company yesterday, Xiao Gao's brother's girlfriend? What's her name... Lin Hong?" She looked up at Zhong Yuemin with a face full of surprise.

"How come she... was in a hotel with another man? That Gao Cheng..."

Zhong Yuemin briefly recounted the events.

Liu Jing suddenly realized what was happening, and a wave of fear and anger washed over her.

"These people are so wicked! They're cheating people out of their feelings and their money! Poor Gao's brother..."

"That's not the case,"

Zhong Yuemin shook his head, his tone tinged with dark humor.

"Perhaps this woman is the one who lost out."

"Why?" Liu Jing asked, puzzled.

"The bait has been laid, and Gao Cheng may have eaten it, but he hasn't taken the bait yet and hasn't gotten any real money."

Zhong Yuemin analyzed,

"This woman deliberately got close to Gao Cheng, wanting him to open his heart and give her all. Holding hands and kissing isn't enough; she needs some 'real substance' to make him completely lose his mind. So, who do you think is at a disadvantage?"

Liu Jing spat lightly, her cheeks slightly flushed:

"The way you're comparing it... I think Gao Cheng is really honest and upright. You think everyone is like you? So, so..."

No suitable word found.

Zhong Yuemin suddenly reached out and grabbed her slender waist. With a gentle pull, Liu Jing gasped and fell into his arms, instantly enveloped by that familiar and strong masculine scent. Her cheeks burned even more intensely.

"What...what are you doing? Let go of me! What if someone comes in!"

She protested softly, but her body felt weak. Although the two had been intimate before, she was mostly drunk and confused that night, unlike now when she was so clear-headed and her feelings were so direct, which made her feel flustered.

Zhong Yuemin showed no sign of letting go; instead, he leaned closer and whispered with a smile in her ear:

"So you're that bad, huh? Then I'll be the bad one!"

"You...you stop messing around!"

As if burned, Liu Jing hurriedly threw the photo in her hand back onto the table and struggled to stand up, but he held her even tighter.

"Xiao Jing,"

Zhong Yuemin softened his voice further, with a hint of intimate inquiry.

"There's something I've always been curious about. Can you help me answer it?"

Liu Jing's heart pounded like a drum; that "Xiao Jing" made her heart tremble, and a sweet feeling spread through her heart.

"……what?"

"You've been by my side for over a decade. Your looks, abilities, and character are all impeccable. How come you haven't found the right person yet?"

Zhong Yuemin looked at her flushed profile and teased her, half-jokingly.

"To be honest, before that last time we... I even had a moment of doubt, wondering if you were... that kind of person?"

"Which one?"

Liu Jing didn't react at first, but when she saw the mischievous smile in his eyes, she realized what was happening and playfully punched his shoulder in embarrassment and annoyance.

"You're the one who likes women! I... I'm perfectly normal!"

"yes,"

Zhong Yuemin's smile became even more meaningful.

"I like women."

Liu Jing rolled her eyes at him, her face turning even redder. After a moment of silence, she bit her lower lip and whispered:

You want me to tell the truth?

"of course."

"...It's just that...I haven't met the right person yet. I...I think, without realizing it...I've started using your standards to measure the other person I'm looking for."

After saying this, Liu Jing almost buried her face in his chest, too ashamed to look up.

"That would be difficult."

Zhong Yuemin was anything but modest; his tone carried his usual confidence.

"Someone as rich, handsome, good-tempered, and physically fit as me is almost one in a million."

Liu Jing pouted: "How can you praise yourself like that..."

"but,"

Zhong Yuemin stopped joking, looked down at her, and his eyes became more serious.

"Now that you've 'stamped' your relationship with me, you can't let any other man 'stamp' it again, understand?" These words, though domineering, are also a form of tacit recognition and declaration of belonging.

Liu Jing's heart skipped a beat, overwhelmed with joy and relief, but she playfully scolded:

"What kind of person do you take me for... I would never..." Her voice trailed off.

"I'll only have one man in my life!" Yet, his words were filled with unwavering determination.

Her face was flushed, her red lips were luscious and inviting, and she tilted her head slightly. Zhong Yuemin, gazing at her captivating appearance, felt a stirring in his heart and was about to lower his head to kiss her.

"Boom boom boom!"

An untimely knock sounded, followed by Gao Yue's clear voice:

"Mr. Zhong, are you there?"

Liu Jing seemed to have a spring under her buttocks, and she sprang up from Zhong Yuemin's arms with a "whoosh," quickly retreating to the side of the desk. She hurriedly tidied her slightly disheveled hair and clothes, her face still flushed.

Gao Yue pushed open the door and walked to the desk. She was taken aback when she saw Liu Jing there as well.

"Manager Liu, you're here too? Hmm, why is your face so red? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Huh? Oh...no, nothing,"

Liu Jing tried to cover it up in a flustered manner.

"Maybe... it's a bit stuffy in the room. I... I'll report to General Manager Zhong."

Gao Yue didn't ask any more questions.

Zhong Yuemin looked at Gao Yue, feeling utterly helpless. This girl had arrived at just the right time.

"Xiao Gao, what brings you here at this hour? Is something wrong?"

"It's nothing serious,"

Gao Yue's face was filled with worry.

"I just wanted to ask how your investigation is going? I can't rest easy until there's a result on my brother's case, and I'm restless no matter what I do."

Zhong Yuemin pointed to the photos on the table that hadn't been completely put away yet:

"Look for yourself, this is the initial 'result'."

Gao Yue picked up the photo with a puzzled look, and after just one glance, her face changed instantly, followed by a mixture of shame and anger, exactly like Liu Jing's reaction earlier.

"This...this woman is shameless! She actually...I'm going to tell my brother right now, so he can see her true colors!"

"Don't rush,"

Zhong Yuemin stopped her.

"Your brother has been emotionally deceived. He's probably spent a lot of money on this woman lately—clothes, bags, meals, movies. He needs to find a way to recoup some of that cost before he can completely break things off, right?"

However, plans cannot keep up with changes.

Before Gao Cheng could even "recoup his costs," the very next day, Lin Hong and her lover, the "landlord," were arrested by the police on suspicion of a "honey trap" scam.

Upon learning the news, Gao Cheng went to the Xicheng branch of the Public Security Bureau, insisting that his "girlfriend" was innocent and that the police had arrested the wrong person. He argued and demanded her release, becoming very agitated.

The case was handled by the Xicheng Branch Criminal Investigation Team, headed by Haiyang. If it weren't for Haiyang's influence, Gao Cheng's disruptive behavior might have landed him in jail for a few days to calm down.
