Chapter 389: Chapter 385: A Night of Insanity? Did the Silly Person Get Cuckolded?

Saturday, a day off.

Zhao Xiaoxiao, sporting two dark circles under her eyes and a face full of melancholy, knocked on the room downstairs.

The reason for her melancholy expression, as well as why she turned into an adorable iron-eating beast, all began last night.

There was a couple who seemed to have won a lawsuit, and then they returned to Lin Mansion and afterward...

It was really out of control...

The spring breeze caressed the face like ripples on water, amidst countless flowers a piece of heaven emerged;

On the riverbank, the warbling of orioles was ceaseless, their elegant figures danced lightly and gracefully;

Little bridge above the gently gurgling stream, a single man and a single woman laughing and talking loudly;

After one night’s spring breeze, the whole valley turned green, the peach blossoms reflected in the water smiled enchantingly.

Like this, like this, in such and such a manner...

This also caused her to not sleep well the entire night, and countless times, she had to hold back the thought of going downstairs to give that couple a lesson.

Can’t you keep it down a bit?

This was the phrase she had mumbled to herself countless times last night.

Fortunately, her schedule allowed her to withstand the pressure, and finally around two or three in the morning, the couple finally quieted down.

Zhao Xiaoxiao went straight to bed, and now that it was past 9 in the morning, the famished her had no choice but to go downstairs to look for something to eat.

Thump, thump, thump!

In the end, Zhao Xiaoxiao still knocked on the door, and quite loudly at that.

From inside the room, the rustling sounds of dressing could be heard.

Whoosh!

The room door opened, and Zhang Wei stood at the door immediately, a smile on his face.

"Ah, second girl, how come you’re up so early today?"

Zhao Xiaoxiao couldn’t help rolling her eyes,

Am I the one who got up early? Isn’t it because you went nuts until the wee hours that you overslept?

From the corner of her eye, she glanced into the room and saw someone still "struggling" to get out of bed.

Underneath the thin quilt, a large expanse of snow-white skin was faintly visible, golden hair disheveled, face full of fatigue, eyes blurry with sleep, as if she still hadn’t recovered from last night’s frenzy.

"Hmph, be careful or Sister Xia might just kill you!"

Zhao Xiaoxiao muttered, then put her hands on her hips, "Miss me is hungry, hurry up and make breakfast for me!"

"Got it!"

Zhang Wei immediately made an "OK" gesture, then turned his head to look back into the room.

After nodding to Jessica, he headed straight for the kitchen.

Zhao Xiaoxiao watched Zhang Wei walk away, but her eyes caught sight of something on his back.

There were dozens of fresh red scratch marks, all of which probably came from the hands of a certain woman in the room.

"Wow, is that the Nine Yin White Bone Claw? What exactly did you two do last night..."

"Xiaoxiao, you will have such experiences in the future, do you want to know about it now?"

Jessica also walked out, her face still carrying the afterglow of the previous night, looking very charming and beautiful.

True to the saying, a woman becomes exceptionally beautiful after her first encounter.

"Forget it, forget it, I don’t want to know!"

Zhao Xiaoxiao immediately shook her head, a look of terror on her face.

This sort of thing wasn’t for a young girl like her to touch; she was still a pure maiden.

"I, I’m going to wash up, you continue... No, that’s not right, keep it down tonight, don’t continue!"

Zhao Xiaoxiao’s words were disconnected, and she ran off in a panic.

Jessica watched her leave with flustered eyes, and gently covered her mouth to chuckle.

Then, she stretched out her finger and placed it on her lips.

Her crimson tongue licked her plump red lips, as if she were savoring last night’s madness.

She admitted, it was she who took the initiative at first.

So many times, she had appeared in front of him in a lace nightgown, yet he was able to hold back each time.

Although she praised his self-control and deemed him a trustworthy man, it was also a challenge to her own allure.

During the case, his dedication to his work was due to professional ethics.

But the case was over now, so there was no need for restraint, right?

Therefore, last night, she was bold once more, donning her even more seductive "winning garment," and finally succeeded in her conquest.

Thinking back on the subsequent sleepless night, the recollection was enough to make her shy.

Especially his part, at first it made her heart race and cheeks flush, then her whole body heated up, followed by rapid breathing, and then it almost suffocated her, forcing her to beg for mercy repeatedly, and in the very end, she nearly passed out...

"Ah, to be young..."

She muttered as her sensual lips parted slightly, an envious tone to her voice.

Inside the kitchen.

Zhang Wei was still busy preparing breakfast.

He was shirtless, boiling noodles with vegetables, while also frying a few muscle-building chicken eggs for the noodle topping.

"Zhang, you’ve been working hard."

A familiar touch came faintly from his back, and Zhang Wei smiled slightly, "What’s the difficulty in making breakfast?"

"No, I meant last night, that was hard work for you..."

Hearing these words from the person behind him, the memories of last night’s passion almost made him lose his grip on the spatula.

Although Zhang Qiansheng from his previous life was somewhat of an old hand at this, having even kept a college girl who was the beauty queen of her school.

However, as he grew older, a man’s vigor could inevitably wane somewhat.

Zhang Wei was different; his constitution had been somewhat weak before, but with his practice at Zhang’s Martial Arts School, he had managed to acquire a decent body.

Furthermore, the presence of emotional factors made yesterday’s experience unlike any before.

The relationship between Zhang Qiansheng and the woman he kept was nothing more than a financial arrangement devoid of emotion.

But it was different with Jessica; they had long been good friends and, as the case progressed, took a step further. They were just short of piercing that last layer of paper.

Last night, they not only pierced through that paper but also went through another layer...

When emotion was involved, the experience was naturally more harmonious and unforgettable.

So much so that he became overly excited, going from initial unfamiliarity to later proficiency until he couldn’t stop.

"Cough cough, was I too rough last night..."

"No, you were great last night!"

Encouraged by the words from behind, Zhang Wei felt exceptionally good.

That’s Jessica for you, an excellent psychologist.

She always knew what to say and when to say it to make others happy.

Naturally, this breakfast was a joyful one.

Of course, one could simply ignore their second daughter’s eye-rolling throughout the meal.

However, after breakfast, Jessica’s phone suddenly rang.

"Manager Chen, what did you say, you’ve already arranged for someone to come and clear the paint? It will be clean by this evening? Isn’t that too fast..."

"Oh, I’m sorry, what I meant to say was that’s great. I’ve always been aware of the efficiency of your property management. Thank you for letting me know."

A look of complexity appeared on Jessica’s face when she heard from property management.

She looked at Zhang Wei, her eyes filled with both happiness and hesitation.

She was glad to be able to return to her clinic, which would resume normal operation.

But she was unhappy because it meant she would have to move back to her apartment and temporarily leave this man beside her.

Zhang Wei obviously noticed Jessica’s unhappiness and immediately comforted her, "It’s okay, we can get together again later, I’m free on weekends."

"Mm..."

"Do you need me to help you pack your things?"

"No need, I think I’ll go back tomorrow. Tonight..."

The rest of the sentence didn’t need to be voiced.

Tonight might just be their last night together for a while.

So tonight was destined to be another sleepless one.

Saturday night.

Zhao Xiaoxiao was on the verge of a breakdown once again.

She thought that after her reminder in the morning, that shameless couple downstairs would quiet down for a while.

But she realized she had been too optimistic; not only did they not quiet down, but the noises they made in the evening were even louder, so much so that she could hear the piercing soprano from the second floor.

"Ah, it’s so annoying!"

Zhao Xiaoxiao covered her head with a pillow, mainly to cover her ears.

She didn’t like wearing earphones, but under the circumstances, she had no choice but to wear them today.

Having put on the earphones and clicked on the music, the world finally fell quiet.

She opened a chat room and her fingers flew over the keyboard as she furiously typed in the message window.

[TheGhost: So annoyed, the disgusting couple downstairs have started again!]

[Keyboard: That’s the trouble with rented places. My neighbors, a young couple, are like this every day. I’ve complained several times /helpless]

[Keyboard: But guess what, after several complaints with no effect, out of sheer frustration, I finally found the husband’s WeChat and even sent him a message berating him. It turns out he’s been on a business trip out of town for the past few months and won’t be back until early next month /smirk]

[Keyboard: Then he kept asking me if his wife next door was like this every day, he sent me more than a dozen messages in a row, and I answered all of them truthfully. I imagine when he comes back, something interesting’s definitely going to happen /hehe]

[TheGhost: ???]

[PigMan: That’s seriously cuckolding, I deeply sympathize with that husband, a moment of silence for him]

[PigMan: Seriously envy you guys getting free live broadcasts every day. Unlike me who hasn’t even held a girl’s hand /pitiful]

[Venom: In our line of work, loneliness is destined /cool]

[PigMan: Yeah right, look at ’Viper’. Heard he got a pretty girlfriend, how long has it been since he last logged on?]

[TheGhost: No way, did he really find one?]

[Venom: What else? He used to be online almost every day, now how long has it been since we’ve seen him?]

[PigMan: Sigh, this kind of person, he’s not a good comrade. Gets a girl and then deserts our organization. That’s not good at all /angry]

[Keyboard: Get lost, man. If you managed to get a girl, I bet you’d run off even faster than Viper /contempt]

[PigMan: You know it’s true, but you don’t have to say it out loud...]

[Venom: Speaking of which, with Viper missing, are we continuing with our meetup tomorrow?]

[PigMan: Continue, of course we’ll continue. We’ve known each other for so long, how can we not have an offline meetup?]

[Venom: I have no objections!]

[Keyboard: I have no objections either!]

[PigMan: I definitely have no objections!]

[TheGhost: I...]

[TheGhost: have no problems either!]

[Venom: Then it’s settled. I’ll wait for you guys tomorrow as agreed!]

After finishing the chat and closing the window, Zhao Xiaoxiao chose to lift her hands from the keyboard.

"Damn it, this bunch wants to meet up..."

She propped her head on her hands, lost in thought.

The folks in the chat room were all considered quite impressive figures in the domestic hacking community, and coincidentally, they all happened to be in Dongfang Capital.

She shared a common language with this group, so naturally they became friends... but only online.

And now, they were planning to have an unprecedented offline meetup. Although Zhao Xiaoxiao was hesitant, she still agreed to it.

But as a girl, meeting up could be dangerous, or she could encounter uncomfortable situations.

This was when having a guy along would come in handy.

But after thinking it over, in her sparse social circle, there really wasn’t a reliable guy to be found.

Overall, it seemed like only the guy downstairs could be considered reliable.

Zhao Xiaoxiao took off her headset, only for some unbearable noises to reach her ears again.

She looked unimpressed, had to put on her headphones again, and forced herself not to think about that matter.

"Cheaters, both of them. Zhang Wei, that jerk, already has Sister Xiao Xia and still messing around with Jessica!"

"You think you’re so awesome. Does Sister Xiao Xia know? If she finds out, she’d knock you out with one punch!"

"Damn it, why do I only know this guy? Now when I need a guy, I can’t find one!"

Zhao Xiaoxiao held her head, her face a mix of boredom and frustration, but she could only wait for the couple downstairs to quiet down for a while.

The final crazy night finally passed with the passage of time.

...

The next day, the weekend.

Zhang Wei dragged his weary body out of the room slowly.

He had been a bit too unrestrained last night and felt his back was a bit sore.

"Can’t blame me for lacking self-control, it’s her... she’s just too enchanting, sigh..."

A long sigh expressed the bitterness of a man’s heart.

"Zhang, I’m leaving now, bye."

"Bye."

Jessica, radiant and with a twinkle of spring in her eyes, walked out of Zhang Wei’s room with a graceful smile, waving goodbye.

Reluctant to part, whether it was Zhang Wei or Jessica, neither wanted to leave the other.

But parting was inevitable, they both had work and careers to attend to, they couldn’t continue like this daily without wearing themselves out.

Watching Jessica drive away, Zhang Wei couldn’t help shaking his head.

The packing, that was all taken care of yesterday.

After returning home today, Jessica would get ready and could start her consultations on Monday.

"Speaking of which, second girl, why have you been staring at me like that?"

Once Jessica had left, Zhang Wei suddenly felt a piercing gaze stabbing into his back.

Zhao Xiaoxiao was hiding in a corner, sneaking peeks at him.

"Well, you owe me a favor, right? I want you to pay up now!"

Direct and to the point, straight to the heart of the matter.

Zhao Xiaoxiao’s words were strikingly crisp and decisive.

"Oh, what do you need help with?"

Zhang Wei was also interested.

He had asked the second girl for help several times and was feeling a bit embarrassed about it.

If he could return the favor, he was more than willing to do so.

"It’s just for tonight. I’ve got a friends’ gathering to attend, can you come with me?"

"Meeting friends, huh? Of course, I can!"

Zhang Wei naturally had no objections since the weekend was coming and he had time to spare.

"That... Could you possibly..."

But Zhao Xiaoxiao’s tone shifted, her index fingers crossed in front of her chest as she suddenly became awkward.

"That, could you pretend to be my boyfriend just for a while..."

"What?"

Zhang Wei was astonished.

What’s this all about?

I’ve always seen you as a daughter, and now you’re trying to hit on me in every possible way?

I admit I’m quite the charmer, but do you really have to go this far?

Seeing Zhang Wei’s reaction, Zhao Xiaoxiao immediately became angry, "What, I rarely make a request, and you’re hesitating?"

"No, no, no, I was just asking. Is this gathering serious?"

"It’s just a simple interest group, that’s all!"

"Oh, well that’s okay then. I can help out, but unless someone asks, let’s not say we’re in that kind of relationship, okay?"

"Oh, I got it!"

Upon hearing Zhang Wei agree, Zhao Xiaoxiao felt very satisfied, her lips curving into a smile as her heart bloomed with joy.

Finally, she had found someone to go with her, so she could rest easy.

"By the way, we all call each other by nicknames there, so don’t be surprised if someone calls me by a different name!"

"I know, I know. How many people out there call me ’Homicide Lawyer’? Am I bothered by it?"

"That settles it then. Around 9 pm, wait for my message, I’ll send you the address!"

Zhao Xiaoxiao reminded Zhang Wei and then went upstairs again, presumably getting ready to leave.

Zhang Wei didn’t mind. After all, helping Zhao Xiaoxiao was the least he could do.

Who wouldn’t help out their charming second daughter?

"There’s still half a day until 9 pm, might as well visit Silly!"

Checking the time, Zhang Wei figured he could take the opportunity to brush up on his "Time Management Mastery" course.

But when he took the subway to Dongjiang Yipin, he only came across his mother-in-law.

"That girl’s been held up at the Serious Crimes Unit and hasn’t come home, and Old Xia too, said he’s been called away for some task. Anyway, both are not back!"

Only Yue Mu Li Qinghua’s complaints filled the new home.

An empty house, with her daughter and husband both away, made for a dreary weekend for herself, Li Qinghua.

She could chat, sip tea, and play mahjong with other well-to-do ladies, but returning to an empty home felt too lonesome.

Zhang Wei exchanged a few pleasantries with his mother-in-law before excusing himself on the pretext of going to see Silly, then left.

The next stop was the Martial Association Investigation Department, and straight to the Serious Crimes Unit’s office.

In the Group 7 of the Serious Crimes Unit, he saw Wu Yong but did not find Xia Qianyue.

"Captain Wu, what’s going on? Where’s Silly?"

"Ah, Xia Xia went for an assessment, but it looks a bit dicey!"

Wu Yong was forthright and took Zhang Wei straight to the assessment scene without any beating around the bush.

The assessment consisted of a live crime simulation, conducted inside a combat simulation room prepared by the Martial Association.

It tested the operatives’ ability to think on their feet, adapt to random combat scenarios, and adjust to sudden and unexpected situations.

In plain terms, Investigation Department operatives might encounter anything, and this was where their combat experience and problem-solving skills were truly put to the test.

And these were exactly what Xia Qianyue lacked.

When Zhang Wei and Wu Yong arrived at the combat simulation room, they saw Xia Qianyue in the midst of her assessment, donned in a simulated uniform.

A dark green camouflage suit paired with a pure green bulletproof vest and a green combat cap,

"So green!" observed Zhang Wei, quite moved by the scene.

Was it destiny, even the heavens reminding Silly?

"You know, Captain Wu, this assessment seems a bit too simple. That figure in the corner is obviously a fake hostage!"

"How did you figure that out?"

"Simple, office women wear high heels, who comes to work in sports shoes?"

Zhang Wei pointed at a corner where an assessor was poised to play the role of a hostage, explaining with a blasé face: "Look at the woman’s face. Office women usually wear makeup, whether it’s to meet clients or to maintain corporate image—it’s a necessity."

"But this woman’s bag clearly has a makeup box in it, yet her face doesn’t have a speck of powder. Is she planning to do her makeup after getting to the company?"

Wu Yong had to go along with it; Zhang Wei’s observational skills were impressive.

He hung his head, stating helplessly, "These things are all part of the assessment. The examiners intentionally leave small flaws. If you can spot them, it shows you have good criminal investigation experience."

"I’ve got to say, you’re cut out for this line of work!"

By this point, Wu Yong hadn’t given up on the idea of recruiting Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei couldn’t help but admire the other man’s persistence.

But now, he finally understood the problem with the assessment.

He noticed the flaws instantly, but Xia Qianyue obviously couldn’t!
