An Exclusive love

“Who is that woman you just talk to?” Ah Zi asked Chen Chen. “She is so pretty.”

“Don’t you watch any movie? She is Zhou Yiyun!” Chen Chen answered absent-mindedly, eyes fixing on Jiang Rui who was ordering dishes.

Ah Zi stared at her. “Who has time to see those stars? By the way, don’t you have feelings for the one called Liu Yiming?”

Jiang Rui gave them a glance. Chen Chen nodded and said, “I don’t get any chance to meet him.”

“Let your War God arrange it for you!” Ah Zi grinned to Jiang Rui and said, “just a piece of cake?”

“Do you love that Liu Yi Chicken?” Jiang Rui asked.

Chen Chen could not help to laugh. “It’s Yiming. Liu Yiming.”

Jiang Rui’s eyes became dark and then handed over the menu. “Do you want more to eat?”

“Steamed egg with sea urchin!” Chen Chen said immediately. “Two!”

Jiang Rui chuckled and went, “Is that Yi Chicken handsome?”

“Huh?” Chen Chen did not get it at that moment.

“Shall I place the order.” Jiang Rui ignored her, and threw the menu to Bear. Bear walked to the door where the manager was waiting. He also specially asked someone to bring a cream bone for Hei Zi and said it was shocked by somebody so the bone was to cool it down.

Ah Zi pulled Hei Zi’s tail. “This buddy is doing so well. If it eats this way, he will become a pig someday.”

“Such good days won’t last long. Next week, Tuan Zi will go to school and by then I will take it back to the military dog base to train it.” Bear said in gloat, “There will be much suffering ahead.”

Tuan Zi said with an air of pride, “Tough as it might be, you still need to work hard to become the dog of the female general.”

“Woof, woof!” Hei Zi barked and then buried himself in the bones.

When the dishes were all served, Chen Chen found Jiang Rui had put a sea urchin in front of her.

“Won’t you… eat this?” She already had finished hers.

Jiang Rui showed a smile and said, “Do you want?”

“Yes…” Chen Chen felt his smile a little weird.

“Me and that Yi Chicken, which one is more handsome.” Jiang Rui asked abruptly.

Chen Chen wide opened his eyes and cared no more about his spelling wrongly of the man’s name. “What do you mean?”

“Literal meaning.” Jiang Rui cast a glance at her. “Hard to tell?”

Seeing the man was about to open that sea urchin with the spoon, Chen Chen asserted, “of course you are much more handsome. How can he compare to you?”

“Go on.”

The sea urchin had been pushed over.

Chen Chen looked at the man while she was eating with her heart fluttering with fear. Seeing Jiang Rui chuckle which indicated he felt so pleased, she started to take her food.

Ah Zi who was sitting beside rolled her eyes all the way, thinking it unbelievable that the War God was so childish.

Coincidentally, when they finished their meal and walked out, Zhou Yiyun went out too.

“Ah, Xiao Chen, it’s Liu Yiming!” Ah Zi said seeing the only star that was in her knowledge, who was standing next to Zhou Yiyun and shaking hands with her.

Chen Chen rose with excitement, “It’s real. It’s real! He’s so handsome!”

Jiang Rui looked at her coldly and then at Liu Yiming, eyebrows having moved slightly.

Looked so ugly…

“Officer Jiang!” Zhou Yiting took the chance to be the first one to open her mouth, “I’m sorry for the past issue. But they don’t know it. You won’t mind, huh?” She said with a pretentiously lovely voice and leering at Jiang Rui.

Zhou Yiyun’s face changed in an instant, looking at her own sister coldly. A sense of panic came from Zhou Yiting’s eyes but soon it became normal again. “Why couldn’t I say hello to him? You could do it and then I could too!”

Liu Yiming had been the best actor a long time ago, who was cunning as a fox. He recognized Jiang Rui and said hello out of politeness and turned away. When Chen Chen was ready to ask for a signature, Jiang Rui’s voice was heard.

“Are you a star?”

Everybody’s eyes were captivated by Jiang Rui, and Zhou Yiting was shocked to find that she was the one that Jiang Rui had asked.

“Yeah! Ah, no. Not yet. I had just had my first role.” Her seductive eyes could almost melt a man’s bone. Suddenly, Jiang Rui opened his mouth to say when something just rose to her lips. “Bear, ask for her number and introduce her to directors.”

His utterance shocked everyone there, even Bear felt so unbelievable that he patted his ears. “Boss, what did you just say?” He asked.

“Are you deaf?” His cold voice made everyone present give a shiver except for Zhou Yiting for she had been totally overwhelmed by excitement.

Jiang Rui took his leave with Tuan Zi while Bear asked for Zhou Yiting’s number and learned more about her filming.

“Hey, don’t you have something to say?” Ah Zi looked at Chen Chen indignantly and said, “How dare they flirt with each other before your face?”

Chen Chen sensed Ah Zi looked a little bit weird and said, “Really? Jiang Rui looked so horrible just now.”

He darted a glance at her and he seemed to swallow her. Chen Chen thought it so odd, because she had done nothing against him.

Up to the night, Jiang Rui kept a cold face, and even went to the army after Bear had just called, leaving nothing but a slam of the door and several words that he had work to do.

“Tuan Zi, was your dad angry?” Chen Chen just wanted to make sure if she thought too much.

Having taken a bath, Tuan Zi was sitting on the sofa to wait for her hair to dry. “Even Hei Zi could tell that my dad was mad. Didn’t you note that it didn’t bark all day long?” she said.

Well. Chen Chen scratched her head and went, “Angry with what? Who did annoy him?”

“How should I know?” Tuan Zi shook her head and said, “Mom, I’m only a child and it’s not right to get involved in you guys’ problems.”

“But often the time, you didn’t take yourself as a child.” Chen Chen poked her head and asked, “Do you know something? Tell me right now!”

Tuan Zi jumped up from the sofa and replied, “I don’t know anything. I’ll go to bed!”

“Woof! Woof!” Hei Zi barked at Chen Chen and ran away.

Chen Chen felt entangled and finally called Ah Zi but in vain. So she pulled her hair and take a shower. Yet little did she know that Ah Zi was really busy at that time.

An hour before, Jiang Rui was hearing Xiao Si’s report.

“We have found several e-mails on the computer.” Xiao Si said hesitantly, “and the sender… is Ah Zi, sister’s friend.”

Bear looked at the e-mails on the computer without saying anything and Xiao Si added, “Ah Zi is the broker who contacts the man called Hei Feng, and then sells the drugs to the black market.”

“This’s Hei Feng’s background.” Scar handed a pile of documents to Jiang Rui and said, “he’s on the list of the wanted men. But the man keeps a low-profile, attending transactions several times a year and most drugs he deals with are painkillers and anesthetics. That’s why he escaped from our sight.”

Jiang Rui threw the documents into the dust basket and asked, “can we hack into Ah Zi’s computer?”

“I can’t.” Xiao Si shook his head and said, “she’s a master in this field. I have tried many times but I’m blocked. By the way, her means have been recorded by the security department, which shows she frequently visited our system.”

“You mean, coming in and out freely?” Jiang Rui said sarcastically, “go and destroy all our documents in the security department. I don’t want to be put into jeopardy by them.”

Bear was frightened and said, “boss, what about Ah Zi…”

“What do you hurry for? I won’t do anything to her until we figure out her background.”

The eyes of Xiao Si and Scar were lit up. “Was there any gossip that they did not know?”

“Destroy them all.” Jiang Rui pointed at the e-mails on the computer as well as Hei Feng’s documents. He continued, “keep the security department from knowing what we are up to.”

“What about Ah Zi’s computer? I can’t access into hers.” Xiao Si gave a glance at Bear, thinking that he should let Bear take him to see this woman.

Jiang Rui took his coat and was about to leave. “Leave it to me,” he said.

He called Wen Pintang and then went back to home when Chen Chen had fallen asleep. Seeing the woman lying asleep, Jiang Rui’s eyes turned bright and suddenly dark. Finally, he closed the door and walked into the guest room.

Chen Chen was wakened by Ah Zi, who called her when it was still dark.

“I felt something wrong.” Ah Zi’s voice turned powerless and she found remedy all night for someone had just hacked into her computer. “I’m sure it’s the man last time, but he invaded by accident at that time. But this time, I’m sure he’s finding something on my computer.”

Chen Chen was frightened and was not sleepy at all, recalling the past that Ah Zi was nearly kidnapped. “Isn’t it someone you had hacked before to take revenge?”

“Impossible. You know I never did that. I just take a trip, and leave a mark to show I have been there.”

“Such an act would enrage people, all right?…” Chen Chen ground his teeth and said, “Maybe you just happen to find other’s secret and he wants to get rid of you?”

“Xiao Chen…” Ah Zi said seriously and sincerely, “I just did one thing that violates the law in my life. It was to help you to investigate the War God’s location and materials.”

Chen Chen was so scared and said, “So it was him who has found it and he wants to kill you. So… so I’m at risk too?”

“But it’s not likely to be that. I have told him this and he complimented you.” Chen Chen denied herself. “It should not be Jiang Rui.”

Ah Zi shouted in anger, “Bullshit. If he wanted to kill me, then he would have killed me.”

After a pause, Ah Zi said, “Chen Chen, I think you might be exposed.”

Chen Chen turned speechless…

“No?” Jiang Rui was talking with Wen Pintang at the study.

Wen Pintang nodded over the phone. “There’s none of the e-mails which indicate her contact with the outside world, except for spam advertisement.”

“Hah, that shows she was suspicious.” Jiang Rui knocked on the desk and asked, “how do you see it?”

“It depends on what do you want to know.” Wen Pintang’s voice was so detached as usual. “You are going to catch Hei Feng?”

Jiang Rui hesitated for a second and went on, “he was not from the base. But his level was so high that every base wants him.”

“You want to take advantage of him?” Wen Pintang smiled and said, “once the topic gets involved with the terrorists, you get crazy.”

“I’ll handle this. Thank you, after all.” Jiang Rui hung up the phone and took his coat, heading for the door. When he walked past the master bedroom, Chen Chen suddenly opened the door out of expectation.

Thinking the thing that happened yesterday had not been settled with her, Jiang Rui’s face got dark instantly.

“You… you are going to go out. Huh, huh, go. I… I will take a rest.” Finishing her word, Chen Chen went into the room in a panic and locked the door from inside.

On the way driving to the army, Jiang Rui frowned all the time.

“Why, she seemed to be so scared of me?”
