Chapter 31: The Frustrating Sense of Defeat

Hearing this, Wang Li instantly jumped up from the sofa, her face flushed as she quickly pulled at her clothes. But unfortunately, her tiny top, which was more like a pair of panties, covered her chest when she pulled up, but then exposed something else. Xiao Sheng, sitting there dumbfounded, swallowed hard with a "gurgle" sound. Saliva dripped from the corner of his mouth, "pat - pat", and a faint smell of blood, like that from his "balls", wafted from his nostrils...

Wang Li fled in a hurry and embarrassment into her bedroom, pressing her body tightly against the door behind her. Her heart was pounding "thump - thump". Her entire face was as red as a monkey's bottom. Trying hard to calm the turmoil in her heart, she scratched her head and ears, biting her finger tightly. At a loss, she dived into the bed, covering her head tightly with the quilt. Shyness and shame made this innocent girl act like a primitive cave - dweller, in an incomprehensible way...

After changing into a more conservative set of home clothes and coming out of the bedroom, the blush on Wang Li's face was still clearly visible. The "unscrupulous" Xiao Sheng was still busy dealing with his wounds. Using the reflection of two mirrors, he endured the pain and managed to handle the wounds on his back with difficulty. Seeing this, Wang Li quickly walked to Xiao Sheng's side, took the alcohol swab from his hand, and without saying a word, with a blushing face, gently wiped his wounds.

The atmosphere in the whole room was a bit silent. Neither of them spoke. Wang Li, sniffing the unique masculine scent of Xiao Sheng, was gently wiping his wounds, her heart throbbing with unease. Her movements were very light, for fear of hurting the man beside her. Looking at the overlapping scars on his back, Wang Li was lost in thought.

A few strands of Wang Li's hair, like black silk bangs, gently swept across Xiao Sheng's back as she tried her best to wipe his back wounds. With Wang Li's body constantly moving, the "itching" sensation of the hair brushing against the skin made Xiao Sheng blush. Thinking of Wang Li's plump breasts that seemed about to burst out, Xiao Sheng couldn't keep calm. As a real man, a "modest gentleman" who had been chaste for years and a seven - foot man with abundant hormones who even had nocturnal emissions at night, at this moment, some sensitive parts of Xiao Sheng underwent "earth - shattering" changes...

"All done..." came Wang Li's whisper, as soft as a mosquito's voice. Wanting to quickly escape from Wang Li's "teasing", Xiao Sheng moved forward two steps, slowly turned around and stood up, stammering to her,

"You lie down there. I'll use silver needles to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. Coupled with the external application of Chinese medicine, it shouldn't affect your work tomorrow." How much of Xiao Sheng's words Wang Li heard, she didn't know. When he suddenly turned around, his imposing presence, through the thin pants, was revealed in front of Wang Li. With a girl's shyness, Wang Li's face instantly turned as pink as a peach blossom. She bit her lips tightly, lowered her head, and was extremely ashamed.

The phrase "each having their own ulterior motives" couldn't be more appropriate to describe the two of them now. They were at an age full of restlessness, like dry firewood meeting a raging fire. A man and a woman, yet they managed to hide that restlessness deep in their hearts. One can imagine how "frustrated" they were at the moment...

Fortunately, the time for the acupuncture to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis wasn't too long. Coupled with the rustic guy's extremely skillful techniques, after a long fifteen minutes, Wang Li, who sat up straight again, quickly buttoned up the front of her clothes. Her skin, like suet jade, was slightly exposed, but it was much better than before.

Looking at the time, it was almost 3:30 am. Being alone in a room as a man and a woman made Xiao Sheng very restless. After he finished applying the medicine for Wang Li to reduce the swelling, he slowly got up to leave.

Although the security of the police apartment wasn't too strict, every time an unfamiliar vehicle entered, it would be interrogated. So, as Xiao Sheng, wearing a coat, walked towards the building, Wang Li, in her home clothes, followed closely behind.

The warm breeze gently caressed Wang Li's slightly swollen face. At this critical moment, Xiao Sheng, who usually lost his composure, stood in front of the car, less frivolous than usual, and said to Wang Li with a serious look,

"Go back. When you go to bed at night, do as I said. You should be fine tomorrow morning."

"Okay..." Wang Li, with her head down, had none of her usual "domineering" look, acting like a shy little girl next door. Hearing this, Xiao Sheng turned to open the car door. Suddenly, as if remembering something, he turned around again and happened to meet Wang Li's clear and innocent eyes...

"Listen, don't follow this case. I guess after tonight's commotion, that guy called Mad Dog will definitely go into hiding. A local ruffian like him surely has no direct interest conflict with Huaxin Group. There must be a main line behind him controlling the whole situation. Your identity is too sensitive. Compared to me, you're more of a public figure. Let me handle it."

"But, this case..." Just as Wang Li raised her head to continue, when she saw Xiao Sheng's smiling face, she stopped immediately. His performance tonight had fully proven that he was more capable of handling this case than she was...

"Then, what can I do to help you?" Hearing Wang Li's words, Xiao Sheng replied with a smile,

"Here's what you can do. Use the resources available in the police station to help me investigate the detailed information of this ruffian Mad Dog, as well as the areas he frequently visits during this period. This is very important to me. During the day, I can't spare the time to deal with this because I need to protect my employer."

"Okay, I'll organize the information and send it to you right away. Um..." Knowing what Wang Li was going to say, Xiao Sheng took out a pen and paper from his pocket, wrote down his phone number and email address, and handed it to her. As a high - tech - savvy modern special forces soldier, he was familiar with these high - tech gadgets.

Just as the two were "reluctantly parting", a sudden shout made them both turn their eyes to the source of the sound. A young, big man in a police uniform walked towards them quickly with a look of surprise, shock, and even resentment. When Wang Li saw this person, her face became a bit unnatural. Before the man reached them, she said softly,

"Brother Hai, just back from the team?"

Xiao Sheng's Santana was parked under the street lamp. The position where they were standing was facing the light. When Wang Li turned her head, the swollen five - finger mark on her face was clearly visible under the light. When the man in uniform reached Wang Li's side, he directly ignored Wang Li's question and asked in a loud voice,

"Xiaoli, what happened to your face? Who hit you?" As he said this, his angry gaze instantly turned to Xiao Sheng standing beside Wang Li. Sensing this sharp and angry look, Xiao Sheng, standing there, couldn't help but shiver in the warm breeze, as if he had a "ball - breaking" sense of defeat...

"Did you hit her?" Before Wang Li could explain, the man almost roared at Xiao Sheng, and then raised his sand - bag - sized fist and swung it at Xiao Sheng...
