Chapter 90

"Ah! To the bed?"

Ye Qiu looked at Lin Jingzhi with a face full of surprise, his heart racing. He thought to himself, "I came to change your bandages, and you want to sleep with me? That's not very nice!"

"What are you saying 'ah' for! Are you thinking dirty thoughts again? I just want you to help me go in to change the bandages." Lin Jingzhi glared at Ye Qiu irritably.

So that's what it is!

Ye Qiu let out a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he felt a slight disappointment.

Actually, if you want to sleep with me, it's fine, but I have to be on top.

After helping Lin Jingzhi into the room, Ye Qiu said, "Sister Lin, how about I change your bandages on the sofa?"

"I don't like sitting on the sofa; it's too hard."

Ye Qiu pursed his lips, thinking, "Don't women like it hard?"

After sitting on the bed, Ye Qiu unwrapped the bandage on Lin Jingzhi's calf, took a look, and said, "Sister Lin, your wound is actually healed. You don't need to change the bandages every day."

"What do you mean? You don't want to come see me anymore?" Lin Jingzhi pouted, looking aggrieved. "Do I disgust you that much?"

"Sister Lin, you misunderstood. That's not what I meant."

"Then what do you mean?"

"Based on my clinical experience, in your case, you don't need to change the bandages every day. However, you should take anti-inflammatory medication on time." Ye Qiu continued, "I will still come to see you every day."

"Hmph, that's better." Lin Jingzhi's face lit up with a smile.

"By the way, where's your assistant?"

"You mean Xiao Jie? She went to the company." Lin Jingzhi changed the subject and asked, "Why did Lord Jiuthousand suddenly hand Jiangzhou over to you?"

Ye Qiu then explained the whole situation in detail.

After listening, Lin Jingzhi said, "Although Lord Jiuthousand handed Jiangzhou over to you, he left his adopted son, Han Long. What do you think his intention is?"

"I guess Lord Jiuthousand left Han Long to keep an eye on me!"

"Being able to think of this shows that you've matured." Lin Jingzhi continued, "But you don't need to worry too much. You are now the boss of Jiangzhou's underworld. One Han Long can't cause much trouble."

"Um."

Lin Jingzhi then said, "I have a suggestion. Do you want to hear it?"

"What suggestion?" Ye Qiu asked curiously.

Lin Jingzhi said, "The change in leadership in Jiangzhou hasn't been announced yet, so no one knows that Lord Jiuthousand handed it over to you. I think it would be better to let Han Long be the public face of the boss."

"What's the point of that?" Ye Qiu was puzzled.

Lin Jingzhi smiled, "The actions of the boss of Jiangzhou will attract the attention of various forces. Let Han Long deal with them publicly while you control the situation behind the scenes. This way, you can avoid some trouble and keep Han Long busy. Most importantly, the Wu Shen Sect won't suspect you and Zhao Yun of destroying the Jiangzhou branch. They will blame Lord Jiuthousand and Han Long. It's a win-win situation. What do you think?"

Ye Qiu's eyes lit up, "I think it's a great idea."

His biggest concern was the Wu Shen Sect. The people in that organization were all crazy, acting unpredictably and extremely dangerous.

If Han Long were the public face of the boss, the Wu Shen Sect wouldn't suspect him, making him safer.

Ye Qiu smiled, "Sister Lin, your strategy is brilliant. Not only did you resolve my crisis, but you also solved a lot of my problems. You are truly a modern-day Zhuge Liang."

Lin Jingzhi gave him a flirtatious look and said, "Zhuge Liang is a man, and I am a woman."

"Then you are a modern-day female Zhuge Liang." Ye Qiu chuckled, "Sister Lin, how about joining Longmen and being my strategist?"

"Not interested." Lin Jingzhi said, "I have no interest in being a strategist."

"Then what do you want to be?"

Lin Jingzhi hooked her finger under Ye Qiu's chin and said seductively, "I want to be the boss's woman."

Uh—

Ye Qiu didn't dare to look into Lin Jingzhi's eyes. This woman was too seductive; one glance could make a man lose control. He was afraid he wouldn't be able to resist.

"Are the bandages changed?" Lin Jingzhi suddenly asked.

"Done."

"How about we take advantage of this opportunity to do some exercise?"

"What kind of exercise?" Ye Qiu was a bit confused.

"Dummy!" Lin Jingzhi tapped Ye Qiu's forehead and then lay down straight on the bed.

Instantly, Ye Qiu understood what she meant.

Looking at her, he saw her long legs, flat abdomen, white neck, and beautiful face, all of which were mesmerizing…

Ye Qiu felt his mouth dry and his body heat up.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up, I can't wait anymore." Lin Jingzhi bit her lower lip with her white teeth and beckoned to Ye Qiu, adopting a very bold pose.

Ye Qiu's blood boiled, and he was about to pounce when there was a sudden knock on the door, like a bucket of cold water splashed on him.

"Who is it?" Lin Jingzhi asked impatiently.

"Ms. Lin, two police officers are here to see Mr. Ye." The maid's voice came from outside the door.

"I know." Lin Jingzhi sat up and asked Ye Qiu, "Why are the police looking for you?"

Ye Qiu shook his head, "I don't know."

"Let's go down and see." Lin Jingzhi said.

"Sister Lin, your leg is still injured, and it's not convenient for you to walk. Stay here, I'll go down alone."

"It's fine, I'll go with you."

Ye Qiu and Lin Jingzhi went downstairs and saw two uniformed officers waiting in the living room.

"Officers, what brings you here to see Ye Qiu?" Lin Jingzhi asked, her voice as sweet as a nightingale.

The two officers were momentarily stunned by her beauty before one of them said, "Ms. Lin, we have a murder case that requires Ye Qiu's assistance in the investigation."

"Case? What case?"

"It's about Guo Shaocong."

Boom!

Ye Qiu was shocked.

He was surprised.

Guo Shaocong was buried alive by Zhao Yun's men. How did the police find out so quickly?

Lin Jingzhi smiled, "Officers, are you sure you have the right person? Ye Qiu is a law-abiding citizen. How could he be involved in a murder case?"

"Ms. Lin, this case involves Ye Qiu, and we must take him in for assistance in the investigation."

"Do you have any evidence?" Lin Jingzhi asked softly.

"Um…"

The two officers stammered. If they had evidence, they would have arrested him directly, not just for assistance in the investigation.

Lin Jingzhi's face darkened, and she suddenly turned fierce, shouting, "Without any evidence, you want to take my man away? Who gave you the nerve?"

The two officers looked at Ye Qiu in shock.

This guy is Ms. Lin's man?

How is that possible!

He's just a small doctor. What does he have to be with the top beauty in Jiangzhou's business world?

Could it be…

The two officers exchanged a glance, and the same three words popped into their minds: Pretty boy!

"Ms. Lin, it's like this. Guo Shaocong's father, Guo Danu, has filed a real-name complaint against Ye Qiu, accusing him of being the murderer. I have no choice but to take Ye Qiu in for assistance in the investigation."

"Yes, please don't be angry, Ms. Lin. We are just asking Mr. Ye to assist in the investigation. We won't do anything to him."

The two officers were very humble. They knew Lin Jingzhi's reputation; she was a powerful figure in Jiangzhou's business world, known for her ruthlessness.

"Without any evidence, don't even think about taking him away." Lin Jingzhi's stance was firm.

The two officers looked at each other, unsure of what to do.

At that moment, Ye Qiu said, "I'll go with you."
