Chapter 89

Zheng Xiaomin, like a fish about to die of thirst, opened her mouth and took deep, heavy breaths, struggling to breathe, with pain and happiness alternating in her body.

"No... Brother Chu... I'm not Xiaoduo..." She trembled, trying to shout, but her body was weak, and her voice was like a mosquito's buzz.

She cried out, giving up her struggle, and moaned in pain: "Brother Chu..."

Zheng Xiaomin, in extreme excitement, could not control herself. She began to tear off Chu Tianshu's clothes, her movements rough, even accompanied by low growls.

Soon, all of Chu Tianshu's clothes were off, flying to the bedside and the carpet.

The two young bodies were pressed together.

Zheng Xiaomin felt something trying to open her virginity, and quickly grabbed a towel to place under her...

"I'll give it to you, Brother Chu, I've wanted to give it to you for a long time..." Zheng Xiaomin called softly.

"Xiaoduo, you're so good..." Chu Tianshu was still mumbling.

Zheng Xiaomin felt a sharp, tearing pain in her lower body.

She covered her mouth and let out a moan of pain and pleasure.

Tears streamed down her face instantly.

Under the influence of alcohol, Chu Tianshu was fierce.

Zheng Xiaomin felt very satisfied, the sense of willing sacrifice was exhilarating.

The battle ended as Zheng Xiaomin reached her peak again and again...

After an unknown amount of time, Chu Tianshu woke up groggily, feeling a heavy head and a dry throat. In the darkness, only the dim light from the nightstand shone.

Why am I sleeping on the floor? Where are my clothes? What did I do last night?...

Chu Tianshu suddenly opened his eyes wide, his mouth agape, and after a dazed moment, he fumbled for the row of switches and turned on the room light.

The bright light was blinding, and Chu Tianshu closed his eyes.

When he slowly opened his eyes again, he found himself naked on the hotel bed, covered with a thin blanket.

He shivered, sat up, and looked around blankly.

The room was empty, and his clothes were neatly folded on the sofa.

He sat on the bed in a daze for a long time.

The surroundings were silent, with the faint sound of cars passing on the street and the music of morning exercises coming from outside the window.

Finally, he saw the welcome label of the Mingliu Grand Hotel on the wall.

His memory gradually returned.

In a daze, Chu Tianshu vaguely remembered the madness of last night. He raised his hand and slapped himself hard.

The pain made him more清醒. He lifted the blanket, and a towel fluttered up at the head of the bed, revealing a fresh red peach blossom.

Chu Tianshu had seen the peach blossom left by Liu Chunna at the Triumph Hotel. He immediately understood, and his head buzzed: "I made a mistake, a big mistake, damn it!"

Soulless, Chu Tianshu grabbed his shorts, hurriedly put them on, and then jumped out of bed, rushing to the bathroom.

However, she was not in the bathroom, and Chu Tianshu's regret was overwhelming. He grabbed the towel with the peach blossom and found a note underneath.

"Brother Chu, thank you for giving me a chance to repay you. I know you don't need it, but I feel that only by doing this can I express my gratitude and respect, and my heart can find peace and happiness. Brother Chu, I am a very ordinary girl, and many people look down on me. Please believe that Xiaomin will listen to you and never bow to fate."

Chu Tianshu punched the headboard and fell back onto the bed, muttering, "Xiaomin, why did you do this?"

After sitting in a daze for about ten minutes, Chu Tianshu gradually calmed down. He took a shower, put away the towel with the peach blossom, slowly dressed, and left the room.

In the elevator, his phone beeped.

Chu Tianshu realized that Leng Xue had sent him a message in the middle of the night, telling him that the car was parked in the parking lot and the key was given to the front desk.

Chu Tianshu went to the front desk, showed his ID, and got the car key. He originally planned to check out, but the front desk attendant said that the Mingliu Grand Hotel was a contracted hotel of the Lingyun Group, and all expenses were charged to the Lingyun Group, which would settle the bill at the end of the month.

Chu Tianshu sat in the car and sent messages to Wu Mengdie, Leng Xue, and Ning Xin to say goodbye. He quickly received their replies. Wu Mengdie and Leng Xue both wished him a safe journey, but Ning Xin's reply made him laugh and cry: "Sir, my name is Ning Xin, not Xiaoduo. Did you send it to the wrong person?"

Chu Tianshu had no idea that after Ning Xin was sent back to school by Leng Xue, she lay in bed, letting tears of委屈 flow all night, experiencing great pain and torment.

Chu Tianshu thought Ning Xin was just having a childish tantrum and shook his head with a bitter smile. He wanted to explain but decided to wait until she was in a better mood. He started the car and went to the relevant departments and institutions, contacting several experts he planned to invite. After getting their responses, he returned to Qingyuan in the afternoon.

Chu Tianshu gave a detailed report to Jian Ruoming about his conversation with Wu Mengdie, but he omitted the private details about Wu Mengdie asking him to take sides and to catch Xiang Wanqing.

Jian Ruoming, upon hearing that Kunpeng Industries was secretly and actively working on a low-price bid for the instrument factory, had a serious expression but was not overly surprised. She said, "Good, Tianshu, continue to maintain contact with the Lingyun Group. Your suggestion, I have already reported to Vice Mayor Yi, and he is very interested."

Chu Tianshu nodded silently.

Theoretically, Tang Yifu, as the leader of the instrument factory reform group and the city leader in charge of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC), should be the one Jian Ruoming reports to. She should not bypass him.

From this, it seemed that Wu Mengdie's statement that the bid for the instrument factory was actually a struggle for the mayor's position was not baseless.

Jian Ruoming saw Chu Tianshu's confusion and smiled, "Tianshu, your suggestion is hard to pass through the reform group. Additionally, major policy adjustments such as land exchange and异地reconstruction are more convincing when proposed by the executive vice mayor to the main leaders of the city and government, rather than the vice mayor in charge."

In the political arena, one needs to be perceptive. No one will say things too clearly at any time.

Stopping at the right point and mutual understanding are essential qualities in the political arena.

Jian Ruoming and Chu Tianshu then reported the plan adjustments and the invitation of experts to Guan Haoyu's office.

Guan Haoyu was satisfied with the plan that was two months ahead and repeatedly emphasized the need to strictly follow the plan and make all necessary preparations. He said that the evaluation results from the Land and Resources Bureau had been handed to Vice Mayor Tang, and once the reform group approved, the bidding process would start immediately.

Back in the office, Chu Tianshu reviewed the details of the bidding process and prepared the necessary documents and materials.

After work, Chu Tianshu went directly to the Yunqing Beauty Club.

After Xiang Wanqing was demoted to a text editor, she had more free time and would always accompany Bai Yunduo after work.

Bai Yunduo's mood had stabilized somewhat, but she still ignored Chu Tianshu. However, when she heard that Chu Tianshu had accidentally met the thug who beat her in Linjiang, she immediately perked up, shaking his arm and urging him to tell her more.

Chu Tianshu opened his phone and showed Bai Yunduo and Ning Xin the video of Zhang Guobing confessing.

Bai Yunduo, seeing Zhang Guobing, was filled with hatred, her body trembling. She felt a bit better only after Chu Tianshu told her that Leng Xue and Ning Xin had slapped the guy dozens of times, and she saw his swollen, dejected face.

Chu Tianshu skipped the part about teasing Zhang Guobing and others and directly asked Bai Yunduo, "Have you heard of someone named Yuan Jiong?"

Bai Yunduo shook her head.

Chu Tianshu repeated the physical description given by Zhang Guobing.

Bai Yunduo thought for a moment but still shook her head in confusion.

Xiang Wanqing had been listening quietly and suddenly said, "Yunduo, Yuan Jiong is involved in medical equipment sales and is associated with Zhu Wangcai. I think someone in the hospital's drug and equipment procurement department might know him."

"Right, why didn't I think of that?" Bai Yunduo jumped up excitedly.

Xiang Wanqing then said to Chu Tianshu, "Don't you have a police friend? Ask her to help you investigate. Once you combine the information from both sides, I think you can uncover the truth about this guy."

Bai Yunduo, while taking out her phone, said, "Wanqing, the leaders of your station are really blind, to abandon such a good journalist."

Bai Yunduo called her colleagues in the hospital's pharmacy and equipment departments to inquire.

Chu Tianshu called Du Yufei.

When Du Yufei heard that Chu Tianshu wanted her to help investigate someone's personal information again, she was somewhat annoyed and said, "Chu Tianshu, I'm a police officer, not your private detective."

"Trouble, find the police," Chu Tianshu said with a grin.

"Don't be silly, you're forcing me to make a mistake, do you understand?"

"Yufei, it's still about the female doctor who was beaten. You've already helped once, so why not finish the good deed?" Chu Tianshu briefly explained his encounter with Zhang Guobing in Linjiang.

Du Yufei asked, "Chu Tianshu, what did you get out of helping this person so persistently?"

"Ha, you're a great detective, nothing can escape your notice," Chu Tianshu looked at Bai Yunduo, who was swaying back and forth with the phone, and lowered his voice, "Hehe, she said that if I help her find the real culprit behind her frame-up, she'll be my mistress."

"You, you're really shameless," Du Yufei couldn't help but laugh, but she felt a bit sour and asked, "You're openly having a mistress, does your wife know?"

Chu Tianshu laughed, "Hehe, my wife isn't confirmed yet."

Du Yufei was taken aback and thought, "Then who was the woman I caught in bed with you in the middle of the night?"

Never mind, it's not the era of lifelong commitment anymore.

Thinking this, Du Yufei felt inexplicably relieved and asked with a smile, "Well, you helped someone and got a mistress for free. What can I get for helping you?"

Chu Tianshu smiled mischievously...
