Invincible Young Master in the City
Chapter 656 - 656 652 Confusion

656: Chapter 652 Confusion 656: Chapter 652 Confusion After a week of routine inspections, in addition to going over all the hotels and entertainment venues in the county, there were also many unexpected raids.

Following a week of routine inspections, besides initially raiding a brothel in one of the hotels, they also arrested some criminals.

The atmosphere in Mingde County had significantly cleared up and even the boldest of criminals no longer dared to commit crimes so brazenly.

Having successfully completed the task and working hard for a week, the next evening, Xu Xiangli and the Anti-Drug Squad’s captain Zou Qiang pooled together some of the activities budget to organize a dinner and KTV outing to reward everyone.

Ye Fan also attended, joining the hardworking frontline police officers for dinner, playing drinking games, and ending with KTV.

Although Ye Fan was the political commissar, he didn’t put on airs.

He was approachable, sharing in both the joys and hardships with the grassroots police officers.

He was adept at blending in with them, and the officers from the Public Security and Anti-Drug divisions respected him even more.

Around eight in the evening, they went to KTV.

Due to the large number of people, they opened four private rooms.

However, even though he participated in KTV, Ye Fan didn’t actually sing karaoke.

Accompanied by Xu Xiangli, he took turns visiting each of the four rooms.

After visiting all four rooms and noticing it was already ten at night, Ye Fan realized he had drunk quite a lot.

He called Zou Qiang over and gave some instructions to Xu Xiangli and Zou Qiang, telling them to watch over the brothers so they wouldn’t get too high-spirited and cause any trouble.

Xu Xiangli and Zou Qiang earnestly replied, “Bureau Ye, rest assured, we will pay attention.

We guarantee to wrap things up before 11:30 and send them home to rest.”

Ye Fan nodded and said, “Very good.

I’ve had a bit too much to drink; I’ll head back first.”

Afterwards, Xu Xiangli and Zou Qiang escorted Ye Fan downstairs, all the way to the front door of KTV’s reception hall.

“Bureau Ye, are you going back to the department dormitory?” Xu Xiangli asked.

Ye Fan nodded.

“I haven’t had any alcohol, let me take you back,” Xu Xiangli said with a smile.

She then explained, “I’ve already notified Wang Xianzhong and Miao Jian, and they’ve agreed to temporarily manage the guys from the Public Security Division for me.”

“Alright then, I’ll trouble you,” Ye Fan hesitated briefly before agreeing.

Zou Qiang, standing beside them, didn’t have any particular thoughts on the matter.

Xu Xiangli was Ye Fan’s trusted aide, which everyone in the police department knew.

Besides, he wasn’t one of Ye Fan’s people.

Because Zhao Lina had forcefully taken control, Ye Fan’s responsibilities, besides managing political and ideological work, included supervising the Public Order Squad, Explosives Disposal Squad, and Internal Affairs.

As for other divisions like Criminal Investigation, Traffic Police, Economic Investigation, Anti-Drug, Patrol, Command Center, Office, Equipment Management, and the National Security Squad, all were under the control of Zhao Lina.

Luckily, the Public Order Squad was a major department, and with the Internal Affairs division almost acting like a sword over every police officer’s head, Ye Fan, as the second in command, although slightly in a weaker position, still held real authority and had not fallen to the same plight as his predecessor, Feng Xixing.

Thus, Ye Fan walked with Xu Xiangli to her car.

A few minutes later, Ye Fan returned to the department dormitory, with Xu Xiangli following him inside and then closing the door.

Having visited Ye Fan’s dormitory for a week straight, Xu Xiangli had become quite familiar with the place.

So upon entering the small living room, she poured a glass of water herself and handed it to Ye Fan.

“Thanks,” Ye Fan said, reaching out to take the glass and then unceremoniously gulping down the water in one go.

“Another glass,” Ye Fan passed the empty glass back.

Xu Xiangli, smiling, took the glass and while doing so, whether intentionally or not, her slender fingers brushed against Ye Fan’s hand.

However, since Ye Fan was a bit tipsy, he didn’t pay much attention and withdrew his hand.

He had drunk quite a lot this time, nearly four bottles of white liquor in total.

He wasn’t truly drunk, but it made him unbearably thirsty.

Xu Xiangli quickly poured Ye Fan another cup of warm water.

For the second cup of water, Ye Fan didn’t guzzle it down.

He drank it slowly and steadily.

After a couple of sips, just as Ye Fan was about to look up and speak to Xu Xiangli, he suddenly felt two soft jade hands lay upon his shoulders and start kneading them.

“Director Ye, I didn’t expect you to be such a heavy drinker,” Xu Xiangli’s voice came from behind his ear.

Ye Fan was also a bit tipsy.

He was accustomed to Wei Ziling massaging his shoulders and back, so Xu Xiangli’s actions didn’t elicit much of a reaction from him at first.

He casually responded with a noise of acknowledgment, closed his eyes to rest, and let Xu Xiangli continue to knead his shoulders.

After a while, Xu Xiangli whispered in his ear, “Director Ye, are you feeling hot?

I see you’ve started to sweat on your forehead.

Why don’t you take off your coat?”

“Mhm.” Ye Fan responded vaguely with his eyes closed.

The effects of the alcohol were creeping up on him, making him feel tired and too lethargic to move, not even wanting to open his eyes.

He certainly felt a bit warm, first because the alcohol was hitting him and secondly because it was indoors with the air conditioning and heating on.

Next, Xu Xiangli began to remove Ye Fan’s down jacket.

After she had taken off his coat, Xu Xiangli, looking at Ye Fan with his eyes still closed and his resolute facial features, hesitated for a moment.

Then she took off her own coat, sat down on the sofa behind him, and continued to massage his shoulders and temples.

At this point, Ye Fan was genuinely a bit groggy.

With his eyes closed, he enjoyed Xu Xiangli’s massage, thinking he was at home with Wei Ziling massaging him.

Xu Xiangli massaged Ye Fan’s shoulders for a bit longer, then subtly shifted his body to lean back, allowing his head to rest against her high and prominent chest.

Her jade hands then started to anoint and massage his head.

Resting his head against the two soft mounds, Ye Fan felt comfortable, but it didn’t dawn on him immediately what he was leaning against.

He even turned his head to find the most comfortable position.

After about a minute, Ye Fan did begin to realize what the back of his head was resting against.

However, he thought it was Wei Ziling.

Wei Ziling often gave him massages, and although he tried to maintain a professional distance, awkward situations inevitably arose.

So, his reaction wasn’t strong, and he just continued to lie there with his eyes closed, straightening his back.

But no sooner had he raised his head than Xu Xiangli pushed it back down.

Ye Fan intended to reprimand Wei Ziling.

But fatigue overpowered him, and he didn’t even want to open his eyelids, let alone his mouth.

He thought he’d berate Wei Ziling seriously tomorrow, so he allowed Xu Xiangli to continue massaging the acupoints on his head.

Ten minutes later, Ye Fan couldn’t resist sleep any longer and drifted off.

Xu Xiangli chuckled softly when she realized that Ye Fan had actually fallen asleep.

She stopped her now sore and soft hands and let Ye Fan continue to lean against her.

After a while, when her hands felt less sore, Xu Xiangli cautiously helped Ye Fan to lay down on the sofa to sleep.

She wanted to lift him and take him to his bedroom, but after trying, she simply couldn’t move Ye Fan’s body, heavy as a block of iron, and had to give up.

After making sure Ye Fan was comfortably lying on the sofa, Xu Xiangli went into Ye Fan’s bedroom and brought out a cotton blanket to cover him.

Finally, she sat beside him, gazing at his face.

“What a pity—” Xu Xiangli sighed to herself, her delicate white hand gently stroking Ye Fan’s face.

After some time, Xu Xiangli came back to her senses and checked the time.

It was almost eleven o’clock.

So she stood up, left Ye Fan’s apartment, and drove back to the KTV.
