I snagged a bargain in a melodramatic novel and became incredibly wealthy!

Men do need to be coaxed, at least Shen He was. After listening to Tang Ning's words, his tone softened considerably.

He casually tossed his wine glass to the ground, the crisp sound of it shattering startling Caiyi and the others.

Shen He released Tang Ning's hands, turned to face her, his eyes gleaming with a wicked charm, and pinched Tang Ning's chin with one hand: "That's right. Don't be angry with me anymore, understand?"

Tang Ning felt a slight stinging pain as he pinched her chin. She pouted and whined, "I know~ but it hurts so much!"

Shen He didn't let go; instead, he tightened his grip even more, and a chilling laugh rang out: "This is a lesson for you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he almost grabbed Tang Ning's chin and kissed her, biting her lip until it bled.

Tang Ning's heart skipped a beat, her face flushed, and she ignored the pain on her lips, responding to Shen He's kiss with a sense of enjoyment.

Caiyi: "..."

Blood was flowing all over his mouth. Wasn't it sticky and uncomfortable to kiss him like that?

How could you even kiss her?!

They truly are a pair of eccentric people.

Xiao Baihua: "..."

Ugh, that feels disgusting. Did he spit red wine into Tang Ning's mouth?

Otherwise, why would it be red?

Tang Ning and Shen He reconciled with a kiss. Shen He put his arm around Tang Ning's waist, sat on a chair, and whispered sweet nothings in her ear.

Tang Ning nestled obediently in his arms, poking his chest with her fingertips, listening to his heartbeat, her face filled with happiness and peace.

"Jingle Bell!"

The desktop phone on the black desk rang. Shen He answered it, his voice cold and indifferent: "Speak."

"Brother Shen, we've caught a cop."

"Bring it up."

After Shen He finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Cai Yi frowned, a bad feeling creeping over him. What would be necessary to bring up? It would definitely be people, but wasn't Tang Ning and these few undercover agents the only ones in this drug trafficking gang?

There are traitors too?

But shouldn't the traitor have been dealt with privately? How could he have brought it to Shen He's face? You have to understand that Shen He's influence in the underworld is like that of an ancient emperor. How could such a small matter require the emperor's personal intervention?

...Is he also an undercover agent?

Caiyi subconsciously wanted to pick at her nails, but she held back, just in case she was overthinking it!

Yes, you must be overthinking it.

"Knock knock knock!"

"Come in."

Shen He didn't even lift his eyes, his gaze fixed intently on Tang Ning in his arms, their eyes locked in a passionate, ambiguous exchange.

A man with a pointed mouth and monkey-like face dragged in a person who was lying face up, covered in blood, with bulging eyes and even a cigarette butt stained with blood stuffed in their nose. It was unclear whether the person was dead or alive.

The man with the pointed mouth and monkey-like face put the other person down and looked at Cai Yi more closely. There were many bloody holes on his body caused by unknown sharp weapons. White maggots were wriggling inside the holes. His flesh was a bloody mess, and his stomach was ripped open in several places, with his intestines spilling out... Even so, he was still alive.

The man with the pointed face and monkey-like features didn't get too close to Shen He. He stood in the middle and reported the information he had found out: "This cop, his men discovered that he released several newly arrested goods."

Cai Yi blurted out instinctively, "But that doesn't prove he's a cop, does it?"

The man with the pointed mouth and monkey-like face fixed his gaze on Cai Yi, his eyes filled with suspicion.

Xiao Baihua didn't know why Cai Yi suddenly acted so impulsively. She stood in front of Cai Yi and explained, "I didn't mean to say that. I just came here to earn money and saw many people who were tortured into confessing. I was afraid that this person might also be one of our brothers who were tortured into confessing. I wanted you to investigate more carefully so that you don't kill the wrong person."

Upon hearing this, Shen He raised his head. Tang Ning stood obediently, not daring to speak, and even seemed a little angry.

They finally managed to improve their relationship, what are these two doing here!

Shen He walked up to Cai Yi and extended a hand to the man with the pointed mouth and monkey-like face.

Seeing this, the man with the pointed mouth and monkey cheeks chuckled and quickly stepped forward, taking a black pistol from his waist and handing it to Shen He: "Brother Shen, here."

Shen He held the pistol, examining it closely. It was icy cold and comfortable to hold. The next second, he pointed the pistol at Cai Yi's forehead and smiled gently: "Usually, it's better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free. Are you a cop too?"

Cai Yi felt a chill run down her spine and froze abruptly. She wasn't so naive as to think the gun was fake.

Seeing the fear in Caiyi's eyes, Shen He smiled happily, then put down the gun, placed it in Caiyi's hand, helped her clench her fingers tightly, pointed at the still panting man on the ground, and said: "Hold on tight, shoot him dead, and I'll believe you."

Otherwise... you and she will both die here.

Before anyone knew it, Xiao Baihua was being held at knifepoint by a man with a pointed mouth and monkey-like face.

Cai Yi's hand, gripping the gun, trembled uncontrollably. If she didn't fire, both she and Xiao Baihua would die here. If she did fire...

For the first time, she felt the gun's chill penetrate to the bone, making it almost impossible for her to hold.

She stepped into the abyss step by step, her eyes lowered and her gun pointed at the panting man on the ground.

The man's bulging eyes were bloodshot, even glistening with tears. He lunged at Caiyi as if in a final, desperate attack.

"boom!"

The man crashed heavily to the ground, a flower of blood blooming from his heart.

Caiyi's grip on the gun suddenly loosened, the gun fell to the ground, and she slumped to the ground.

Shen He nodded to the man with the pointed mouth and monkey-like face. He sheathed his knife. Xiao Baihua's face was covered in cold sweat, and her lips trembled uncontrollably. She walked up to Cai Yi, squatted down, and helped her up.

Shen He laughed heartily, walked up to Tang Ning, put his arm around her shoulder, and kissed her hard on the cheek: "Your subordinates are quite capable, very decisive. I thought they were going to die with this cop."

Tang Ning giggled: "Then you should take a look at who trained you."

Upon hearing this, Shen He nodded affirmatively: "Yes, my Aning is well-trained, but she still needs to work on her courage. She's trembling like this when killing someone."

Tang Ning nodded and said to the dejected Cai Yi and Xiao Baihua, "Why aren't you going back? It's not easy to bring you here to broaden your horizons, and this is the kind of behavior you get."

Cai Yi gripped Xiao Baihua's hand tightly and asked a question: "I... I need to know why he was seen by the cops, right?"

I don't want to one day... be falsely accused of being a cop!

She had to find out the truth, otherwise even more of those unknown narcotics officers would die.

Shen He was in a good mood and was happy to give him an answer. He glanced at the man with the pointed mouth and monkey-like face: "Monkey, you explain it to her."

The monkey laughed as it picked up the gun from the ground and said, "In our line of work, we never give away goods, let alone release people."

Of course... that's not the main reason. The main reason is that he doesn't kill people, hahahahahaha!

"How can we do this without killing someone?"

Cai Yi's pupils widened, and he subconsciously asked, "Then I didn't kill anyone, did I?"

The monkey sneered: "You just killed someone, and he was a cop."

Xiao Baihua looked at Cai Yi, who was acting somewhat manic, and pinched her flesh to calm her down.

"What if I never killed anyone?"

Caiyi asked the question calmly, as if he already knew the answer.

"Then you must be dead too, hahahahaha."

The monkey answered with a smile.

"Stand back."

Shen He had the monkey drag the note away.

Xiao Baihua helped Cai Yi leave the complex building.
