LIGHTNOVELONLINE c66 - Sudden Change
Due to the crucial evidence Shen Han snatched from the Fugui Gang, the Empress’s team made a breakthrough in their covert investigation.
As a result, the group’s itinerary was slightly adjusted.
Gu Junwan would stay in the area for two more days, but she didn’t move to a better hotel in town. Instead, she continued to stay at the guesthouse on the border of the Third and Fourth Districts.
In the afternoon.
In a temporary office, two subordinates were reporting their work separately.
Gu Junwan sat at the desk, with only Shen Han standing slightly behind her.
The two capable subordinates didn’t know the relationship between the Empress and the guard captain behind her.
But since the latter could appear here, they naturally understood that she was someone the Empress trusted.
So they began to take turns giving detailed reports.
“Your Majesty, the threatened enterprises and factory owners are willing to cooperate and provide some relevant evidence, but they don’t dare offend the local power players. Testifying in court is difficult, after all, their wives and children are all local, so it’s normal for them to worry about retaliation-”
After the first person finished reporting, the second one spoke up.
“Your Majesty, I have good news! After I released the information to those three authorities that the government had two promotion slots, I actually received some anonymous reports that very night.”
“And the evidence you gave us yesterday can directly nail two of them. The evidence is ironclad, and they know that any resistance is futile, so they’ve started competing to report on each other, seeking leniency for meritorious service-”
Shen Han listened to the stream of information feedback from the two capable subordinates.
She suddenly realized: So Junwan used the ‘two peaches kill three warriors’ strategy. No wonder that Fugui Gang president suddenly ran out to pull those stunts.
If he hadn’t called away that Vice President Chen yesterday, and she had continued to be entangled by the latter, she probably would have terminated the mission and fled before her identity was exposed.
After the two capable subordinates finished their feedback,
Gu Junwan gave them some more instructions, then sent them off to work.
Shen Han listened to the two’s footsteps fading away outside the door, then quickly went to lock it.
Then she stood behind Gu Junwan and began massaging her shoulders.
“Junwan, you’re really amazing! I thought I was just lucky, accidentally catching a big fish that swam right up to me. But it turns out the most crucial move was yours!”
The Alpha’s hands behind her were neither too light nor too heavy, massaging with skill.
Each press of force found Gu Junwan’s most fatigued spots.
The Omega squinted her eyes in comfort, her neck tilting slightly back.
She relaxed her slender back, leaning against the chair to enjoy her Alpha’s attentive service.
“It wouldn’t have worked without you. Those three authorities have deeply entangled interests. To break the trust between them would take months, if not a year.”
“If not for the materials you brought back yesterday, achieving results like this would have taken much longer to ferment.”
The Omega’s voice had lost its coolness from when she was in front of others.
That soft and lazy tone falling on the Alpha’s ears behind her made both sides of her earlobes tingle.
The scene of resting against the other’s abdomen in the car yesterday once again floated into the Alpha’s mind.
That warm, soft feeling surrounded by a subtle fragrance made her heart rate speed up just recalling it.
As she massaged, Shen Han’s fingertips intentionally or unintentionally lingered around the gland area of the person in front of her.
Although Gu Junwan’s nape was covered with a blocking patch, how sensitive was the skin around an Omega’s gland?
Being lightly brushed by her girlfriend’s fingertips, her entire nape felt like an electric current had run through it, unbearably itchy.
Thinking that someone would come to the office to report work later,
How could Gu Junwan dare let the Alpha behind her continue to tease her?
However, before she could say anything, Shen Han’s warm breath had already fallen on top of her head.
“Do I get a reward then?”
As she spoke, Shen Han turned the chair around, facing Gu Junwan towards herself.
Looking at the expectant Alpha in front of her, Gu Junwan couldn’t utter a single word of refusal.
Her golden phoenix eyes blinked slightly, the Omega’s voice gentle and melodious: “What kind of reward do you want?”
Shen Han smiled, pressing her lips together, then stretched out both arms and directly lifted her Omega from the chair in a princess carry.
She leaned her head slightly forward, whispering in the ear of the person in her arms, “Junwan, I miss your scent.”
Fine electric currents traveled from her ear to Gu Junwan’s heart lake, stirring up ripples on its surface.
Her heart began to beat erratically, and her jade-like fair face also reddened.
Gu Junwan tilted her head slightly, glancing at the tightly locked office door, and said softly, “Someone will come over soon.”
Shen Han gazed at her intensely: “Then we’ll be quick.”
Gu Junwan couldn’t say no to the Alpha before her, but she was indeed worried that someone might suddenly knock on the door.
In this ambiguous yet tense atmosphere, a peculiar excitement arose from deep within her heart.
An Omega’s stamina was naturally far less abundant than an Alpha’s.
Now, Gu Junwan’s body was also faintly softening, so she could only wrap her arms around the other’s neck, bringing her red lips to touch the other’s.
The long-awaited cold plum finally fell into its territory.
Shen Han felt her throat was like parched earth, finally receiving the nourishment of rain.
While quenching the heat, it also made her want more.
However, she only thought about it in her heart.
She hadn’t forgotten that they were still in the office.
Moreover, she wanted to monopolize all of Gu Junwan’s shyness and coquettishness for herself.
She didn’t want anyone to see the other’s current appearance.
After kissing for over a minute, Shen Han voluntarily released the other’s lips and tongue.
Looking down, the Omega in her arms had obvious blush on her cheeks, her breathing somewhat unsteady.
That delectable and alluring appearance made one want to continue teasing her!
Shen Han swallowed hard twice, kissed the black hair by the other’s ear, then gently placed her back in the chair.
The simple guesthouse had no fresh air system.
Shen Han walked to the window and pushed all the windows open to their fullest.
Although neither of them had released their pheromones just now, a faint fragrance still lingered in the room.
As she opened the windows, Shen Han couldn’t help but think secretly: Should she prepare a small can of air freshener to carry with her?
In case of similar situations in the future, she could spray it afterwards, leaving no trace of the scent!
About 5 minutes later, Xu Zhao, who had gone out on business, knocked and entered the office.
After routinely reporting the new information she had collected to the Lady Empress, she began to feel suspicious.
The special assistant first looked around inconspicuously and found everything normal.
A clean and tidy desk, well-organized document folders, the Lady Empress earnestly writing replies, and the Alpha standing behind her with hands at her sides, eyes lowered in concentration.
Everything was exactly the same as before she left.
Xu Zhao shook her head slightly.
She thought: Maybe she hadn’t rested well these past few days?
When things were finished here, she should ask the Lady Empress for a couple of days off after returning to the base, to rest properly.
Otherwise, her nerves might be too tense, almost causing hallucinations.
……
The Empress’s team struck like lightning, uprooting the biggest tumor in the local area in just a few days.
The people cheered in approval.
Many brought eggs and homemade pickled foods, running to the guesthouse vicinity, placing the items at the feet of anyone in military uniform they saw.
“Please help pass this to the Empress. If not, you can keep it. We don’t know how to thank the Empress for everything she’s done. We hope you can convey our small token of appreciation to her.”
After dropping these words, the gift-givers would turn and run.
The security guards watched this scene, dumbfounded, looking at the figures running away in droves, then at the pile of local specialties at their feet. For some reason, they felt strangely moved.
So every little thing the Empress did for the people, every bit of care she took, was remembered by everyone.
Once someone took the lead, more people began to follow suit.
Those bringing eggs and cured meat were still manageable. What really perplexed the security guards was people throwing tied-up live poultry and livestock at their feet.
Those chickens, geese, and piglets, with their legs or limbs tied and wings bound, kept making noise and fussing on the ground.
The area around the guesthouse had practically turned into a farmers’ market.
Gu Junwan certainly wouldn’t accept these gifts from the people, but she also didn’t want to disappoint their goodwill.
She immediately summoned a local official beloved by the people, personally instructing them to return the items while conveying a few words of care from her.
Just as everyone was celebrating with gongs and drums,
That night, the area where Gu Junwan’s team was staying suffered a bomb attack.
The explosion site wasn’t the guesthouse where the Lady Empress was staying.
It was a farmers’ market several kilometers away from the guesthouse.
It’s unknown whether the bomb had been planted in advance or for what reason, and there’s no way to verify now.
The huge explosion alarmed all residents in the areas of the Third and Fourth Districts near the farmers’ market.
Flames shot into the sky, illuminating half the heavens.
A bit farther from the blast site.
On the rooftop of the guesthouse where Gu Yuwei was staying.
All guard team members stood with their commander, gazing towards the flames.
Soon, someone came running to report: “Commander, I just called to verify. The blast site is a farmers’ market. Preliminary investigation suggests it was deliberately detonated. The perpetrators are being pursued.”
“Please evacuate immediately. We can’t stay inside this building any longer.”
Gu Yuwei’s expression was somewhat grave, but she didn’t seem too urgent.
“Don’t worry about me. If they really had the skill to assassinate, the bomb would have been aimed at my and her residences, not detonating a market and harming innocent people.”
“I believe this is probably her side pushing some local powers too far. They don’t have the ability to directly retaliate against her, so they chose this method to provoke her.”
At this point, she looked at the people before her and instructed: “Now, immediately dispatch 70% of our security forces to help put out the fire and rescue people. Take my written order with you to avoid being suspected of impure motives by their side, delaying disaster relief.”
Hearing this, the guard captain immediately spoke softly: “Commander, 70% of our security forces is too much. I suggest-”
Gu Yuwei waved her hand dismissively, interrupting him.
“Just follow my orders. The rest of the people will temporarily relocate to the small city with me. There’s tight security there, so there’s no need to worry about my safety.”
