"Captain, you asked me to investigate the clubs with escorts in Binhai last night; I've looked into them all!"

On the other end of the phone, it was indeed Niu Tao calling. His voice sounded a bit hoarse, suggesting he really hadn't slept all night, working on the case.

"We can't determine the victim's identity for the moment. The internal staff of those clubs are tight-lipped and very cautious when questioned by our people, making it difficult to break through."

"However, through our informants and other secret means, I've obtained some 'precious' videos regarding those clubs. I wonder if we can find some clues from them to help us solve the case."

Niu Tao explained the events and findings of last night in one breath.

"Videos?"

Situ Yan seemed to momentarily forget her current state and suddenly sat up, exposing her fair skin and smooth waist entirely to Jiang Feng's view.

"Yes! These videos were secretly filmed by someone investigating the clubs for their depraved activities. Unexpectedly, we can now use them."

Niu Tao's voice carried a hint of excitement.

"I understand! Make sure to save the videos well, I'm heading to the branch!"

Situ Yan said, hanging up the phone immediately, and habitually started to get dressed quickly.

Only then did she notice at the bedhead that her spare clothes weren't there at all, reminding her of everything that happened last night with Jiang Feng.

Turning around, she found Jiang Feng awkwardly looking at her, while she was completely exposed with nothing covering her!

"Ah, you jerk..."

Situ Yan's face turned beet red! 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

She quickly crossed her arms over her chest instinctively, glaring at Jiang Feng: "Why didn't you warn me?"

"Warn you about what? Who knew you'd suddenly sit up?"

Jiang Feng was speechless too. He seemed unable to untie himself from this girl. Starting the day like this was purely challenging his patience!

Situ Yan's cheeks were still flushed. Grabbing a towel as if it was a fig leaf, she wrapped herself and snapped: "Jiang Feng, I've figured you out. You just pretend to be cool. When it comes to the real thing, you're a no-show! I'm like this and you still resist; I'm genuinely impressed!"

Kao!

Jiang Feng felt irritated hearing this: "Wasn't it you who screamed you were tired last night?"

"So what? Tired or not, even if I'm asleep, can't you still act as you should? Are you going to wait for me to take the initiative for a lifetime?! After you've messed around, I could still accuse you of assault!"

Situ Yan glared at him: "Enough, this opportunity won't come again. If you want anything in the future, there's no chance! Quickly get up; come with me to the branch soon!"

As she spoke, Situ Yan pulled off the sheet on Jiang Feng's body too.

Fortunately, Jiang Feng slept in his clothes last night, avoiding some embarrassment.

"What should I go there for?"

Jiang Feng frowned, somewhat worried about the women at home who drank and acted out before sleeping last night. He didn't know how they were now and if they felt any discomfort.

"Didn't you hear Niu Tao? The case is both smooth and tricky. We found nothing from the clubs, but we obtained some secretly filmed videos that even the clubs themselves were unaware of – you should come and see." Situ Yan said.

She insisted on bringing Jiang Feng because since he got involved, she wanted him in for the entirety.

Moreover, a more personal reason was that only through this could she rightfully keep Jiang Feng around more.

Jiang Feng reluctantly agreed and thought: "Alright, then you freshen up first, and I'll accompany you later."

"That sounds better."

Situ Yan gave Jiang Feng a look, then wrapped her fragrant body in a towel and walked out barefoot.

Not long after she left, she suddenly returned and planted a kiss on Jiang Feng's face before continuing out, blushing and smiling.

Jiang Feng chuckled helplessly and took the moment to dial Nangong Qingcheng's number.

"Jiang Feng, I was just about to call you. Where did you sleep last night? Did you sleep well?"

Nangong Qingcheng's tone was as pure and gentle as ever.

She had felt bad about 'kicking Jiang Feng out' last night, but there was no choice since the house was too crowded. She was concerned about whether Jiang Feng slept well.

"Just found a hotel randomly. Did you all sleep well? No hangovers?" Jiang Feng said guiltily, then asked.

"I'm fine; it's just Fei'er and Zixun felt a bit unwell, saying their heads hurt from drinking too much last night! I'm not letting them go to the company or school today; they're resting at home and probably a bit more sleep will help," Nangong Qingcheng laughed.

"Alright, I have things to handle today. I'll come back after. If you have the time, spend more time with Mo Zixun and Su Xiaoxiao, since they're guests. If needed, take them to Fengming and show them a good time," Jiang Feng instructed.

"Don't worry, we'll wait for you to return~"

After the call ended, Jiang Feng felt somewhat melancholic.

Being with another woman while deceiving Nangong Qingcheng's kindness evoked genuine guilt.

Yet, he was stuck in the situation; he'd have to take things day by day.

With a deep breath, Jiang Feng got up and walked out of the bedroom.

"I've prepared your toothpaste and toothbrush; they're in the bathroom. The toothbrush is new, I bought it for you long ago but never had the chance to use it."

At this moment, Situ Yan was brushing her hair in front of the mirror. In such a short time, she had dressed up and returned to her elegant, spirited uniform look.

Jiang Feng went to the bathroom and saw the new toothbrush had indeed been bought for him earlier. This showed Situ Yan had hoped he'd stay over more than a few times.

After quickly brushing his teeth and washing his face, Jiang Feng came out again, looking at the refreshed and invigorated Situ Yan: "Should I make some noodles, then we go?"

"There's no time."

Situ Yan grabbed the keys: "Let's grab something on the way; Niu Tao is still waiting for me!"

Niu Tao had been working all night without sleep; Situ Yan felt a bit guilty.

Usually, upon hearing news of case clues, no matter how tired, she would rush to the frontlines instead of just being an armchair general delegating tasks.

But last night was a rare opportunity to be alone with Jiang Feng; she couldn't bear to waste the precious time together, hence indulged a bit.

So, with fervor, she led Jiang Feng out the door, heading directly to the South City Branch, taking over the bizarre case!
