Gu Zi had heard from Su Shen that the internal workings of the wealthy company were a tangled mess. The boss, Zhang Ke, was backed into a corner and resorted to the illegal and underhanded tactic of cutting off the power supply.
Previously, Su Shen had reported the incident, and Captain He had swiftly arrested Zhou Sheng, the thief who had stolen the transformer. Zhou Sheng, a man who would do anything for money, was unwilling to admit that he had stolen the transformer under the orders of boss Zhang Ke.
However, Captain He and Su Shen were not in a hurry. Jin Long had successfully infiltrated the enemy’s ranks through a collaboration between the Golden Sun Hotel and Rich Pig Farm.
Jin Long quickly obtained compelling evidence. Only when Captain He laid out all the evidence did Zhou Sheng have no choice but to confess. Rich Pig Farm’s boss, Zhang Ke, had given him a large sum of money to steal the transformer in an attempt to ruin Daqing Pig Farm.
Zhang Ke’s subsequent plans included hiring people to poison the river water in the village, creating the illusion of a swine fever outbreak, causing further losses to the Daqing Pig Farm.
With Zhou Sheng’s confession and the evidence collected by Jin Long, there was ample reason to arrest Zhang Ke.
However, this was a case that could not be handled without taking every step carefully. After all, if a regular police officer were to handle the case, they might hesitate to take action against Zhang Ke due to his extensive network of connections.
But the officer in charge was Captain He. When his father, Deputy Director He, learned of the situation, he said, “I’ll take the fall if anything goes wrong. You just do your job. Anyone who dares to mess with Su Shen is courting death.”
Captain He, who shared the same temperament as his father, did not hesitate. He ignored the people behind Zhang Ke and, under pressure, swiftly took action to arrest him.
Now that the boss of the Rich Pig Farm was in custody, the company’s downfall was inevitable. It was surprising that a company that had risen to prominence at the same time as the Daqing Pig Farm couldn’t even make it through the year.
Gu Zi listened to the story, her arms wrapped around his waist. Her eyes traced his features. He had recently gotten a haircut, a buzz cut, and his beard was neatly trimmed. His eyes were bright, his lips rosy.
The hand on her waist was strong and sensual. She loved it when he did this and looked forward to his kiss. She imagined it would be powerful and deep.
He didn’t look like someone who was constantly busy with no time to rest. Gu Zi admired him. Was this man never tired? His energy seemed boundless. She raised an eyebrow. “Are you upset about this?”
Su Shen met her gaze, silent for a moment, then leaned in to kiss her without a word. His kiss was passionate and delicate. His tongue gently parted her lips, entwining with hers, as if seeking some comfort. “The village where Rich Pig Farm is located is also a notoriously poor village. The economy only improved after the pig farm was established…”
Gu Zi interrupted him with a deep kiss, not needing him to say more. She understood why he was upset.
Zhang Ke’s foolish business tactics not only ruined his own future but also crushed the hopes of a village’s development.
Su Shen was a man with a broad perspective. If it were just a matter of personal gain or loss, he might not take it to heart. But collective failures often upset him. No matter how capable he was, his time and energy were limited.
He had managed to establish the Daqing Pig Farm and uplift the village and surrounding towns. But there were still many poor villages that he could only sigh at, powerless to help. Gu Zi understood his unhappiness and wanted to offer him some comfort to ease his mood.
Her kiss became more assertive, pressing him back. Su Shen retreated until he had no choice but to sit on the bed. She continued to kiss him, sitting on his lap. His body tensed in response, and he made no attempt to hide his arousal, enjoying her initiative and anticipation.
The next moment, she guided his hand to her chest. He lost his composure, panting heavily, his tongue twining with hers in a fervent response to her kiss.
For a while, the only sounds were their intertwined breaths and the soft, sticky noises of their lips meeting. He squeezed her breast and couldn’t help but praise, “You’re so beautiful.” He subconsciously squeezed a few more times.
