Chapter 254: Chapter 259: A Decent Man

"No way!" Helen Wilson squeezed these two words out through gritted teeth, digging her nails deep into James Brown’s arm muscles.

James Brown involuntarily sucked in a breath of cold air, stammering, "Regardless of whether it’s possible or not, big sister, could you lighten up a bit?"

Helen Wilson seemed not to have heard James Brown’s words, still pinching his arm fiercely, muttering to herself, "Absolutely not, it’s not easy to have a chance to catch a big fish, I can’t just give up like this."

"Big sister, what on earth are you planning to do?" James Brown exerted a lot of effort to pry Helen Wilson’s hand away.

Helen Wilson suddenly turned to face James Brown, took a deep breath, placed her hands on his shoulders, and said, "Come on, I’m going all out, I’ll let you have the benefit for the first time."

James Brown’s eyes widened in disbelief, and it took him a moment before he said, "Have you got it wrong? This is just for the sake of solving the case. If we can’t this time, there will be other chances. Do you really have to go this far?"

Helen Wilson nodded emphatically and said, "As an undercover agent, for the sake of the case, I have to go all out. Besides, I wouldn’t lower myself for those scumbags, but for you I can accept it. Come on." Saying that, she snuggled into James Brown’s embrace.

"Wait a minute!" James Brown hastily blocked Helen Wilson with his hand, but the position of his hand happened to be on Helen Wilson’s chest, right at the softest spot. He quickly withdrew his hand and said awkwardly, "I didn’t mean to, but I must say, even if we’re acting, we don’t have to do this. When we’re in bed later, just pull up the blanket over us, and then use the surroundings to block the camera, so that they can only see parts of our bodies. That should be enough to cover it up."

"Will that work? Are you sure?" Helen Wilson’s eyes lit up; naturally, as a girl, she still wanted to preserve her most important things.

"I’ve been a soldier, even a scout, so this kind of thing is no problem for me. Even directly covering their cameras is no issue, but I’m worried that this might arouse their suspicions."

Helen Wilson immediately said excitedly, "Of course we can’t cover it all, just blocking some of their line of sight is enough."

"All right, let’s do it that way. I’ll go out and handle it first, then you go out."

After dressing again, the two returned to the bedroom. James Brown pulled down a bath towel from the television, turned it on, and the two of them snuggled into bed, watching TV while discussing their next steps of cooperation.

Because of the incident just now, Helen Wilson and James Brown became more comfortable with the intimacy, so they were not afraid of being monitored by others at this time. Moreover, they deliberately mentioned some smuggling matters and fantasized about how they would make a fortune once they returned.

About half an hour later, John Smith came and knocked on their room, looking at them with a grin, "Mr. Lee, that was pretty enjoyable just now, wasn’t it?"

James Brown laughed heartily and said, "Not bad, but you, my boy, played with two at once. Can your body handle that?"

"No problem."

They chatted idly for a moment, and John Smith said, "Mr. Lee, it’s getting late today, I’ll head back first."

James Brown immediately grabbed John Smith, asking anxiously, "Brother Johnson, what’s the situation?"

John Smith chuckled and said, "I’ll definitely try to help out, but you have to give me some time to make contacts."

James Brown pulled out a stack of money and stuffed it into John Smith’s hand, saying, "Brother, I’m counting on you for this matter. Once I make a fortune later on, I certainly won’t forget your help."

John Smith unceremoniously pocketed the money, then patted his chest and said, "Mr. Lee, with your generous spirit, I’ll also definitely get this matter done for you."

After John Smith left, James Brown and Helen Wilson settled the bill and left, taking a taxi to a restaurant. They had just come from the tea house and then the karaoke lounge, not having had a proper meal, and they also wanted to see if anyone was following them.

Their precautions turned out to be necessary; indeed, someone had followed them. A sharp person like James Brown naturally noticed easily, and Helen Wilson, also a decent cop, noticed as well.

The two continued to act as they did when they were with John Smith, and after finishing the meal, they went to a hotel and opened a room. Only then did the person tailing them leave.

"Is there any..." Helen Wilson cautiously asked.

James Brown shook his head and said, "This is a legitimate big hotel, there are no such devices here, we don’t need to pretend in this place."

Helen Wilson heaved a sigh of relief, plopped down onto the bed, but immediately grimaced, rolled over onto the bed, and said tiredly, "I’m exhausted."

James Brown lit a cigarette and said, "Tired but okay, I’m actually worried right now."

"Worried about what?" Helen Wilson turned her head to look at James Brown.

James Brown gave a wry smile and said, "Just now, it cost over ten thousand dollars. This money burns so fast. Will you be able to reimburse it later?"

Actually, Helen Wilson had no concrete assurance, but she still said, "As long as we can crack this case, whatever I report, the precinct will reimburse me for it later. Don’t worry."

"Well that’s a relief, I was really afraid this money would go down the drain. Wouldn’t be fun if you couldn’t get reimbursed when you go back," Mr. Lee said.

Helen Wilson felt truly at ease when she heard this and laughed, saying, "Don’t worry about it, I’m not that foolish."

"Hehe..." James Brown suddenly winked at Helen Wilson and said, "Why don’t you report a little extra, then I can make some money too."

Helen Wilson was both amused and exasperated by James Brown, but still said, "Alright, if this big case gets cracked, you’ll be the hero. I’ll definitely apply for a reward for you then, at least thousands of dollars in bonus shouldn’t be a problem."

"That’s not too shabby, at least my efforts wouldn’t have been in vain," James Brown quickly broke into a proud smile.

"Right, do you think the person tailing us might have left?" Helen Wilson suddenly asked.

"How would I know that? What are you planning to do?"

"I need to go home."

"Why go home? This room costs four hundred and eighty a night. You can’t get a refund now even if you leave, better just stay here."

Helen Wilson hesitated for a moment, then looked at James Brown guardedly and said, "You’re not harboring any ideas, are you?"

"Come on, Sister, can you stop assuming the worst of me? If I had really wanted to do something just now, could you have even opposed it?"

Helen Wilson blushed and scoffed, "Then let’s just sleep here. I’m going to take a shower first."

After Helen Wilson took a shower, she came out wrapped in a towel, which made James Brown’s eyes pop, "We’re not acting right now, why aren’t you wearing any clothes?"

Helen Wilson sat down on the bed and said, "You’ve seen it all, what I should show and what I shouldn’t. Why should I defend against you? I’ve been wearing these clothes all day; they’re uncomfortable."

"Alright, you really are straightforward," James Brown muttered under his breath and took a shower too. But during the shower, he actually found Helen Wilson’s washed underwear, which meant Helen Wilson was indeed completely naked under that towel earlier.

"Tonight seems like it really isn’t going to be easy," James Brown murmured to himself. Sleeping in the same bed with the likes of Helen Wilson, it would be weird not to feel uncomfortable.

After showering, James Brown walked out just in his underwear, not even bothering with a towel. By this time, Helen Wilson was already lying in bed, covered with a quilt. The room’s air conditioner was set low, so it wouldn’t be hot even under a quilt.

James Brown boldly climbed into bed, but there were two quilts on the bed. Helen Wilson was under one, and he covered himself with another, so at the very least, he wouldn’t have to face Helen Wilson’s body.

Although James Brown and Helen Wilson were already familiar with each other, this was the first time they shared a bed. This made Helen Wilson feel somewhat uneasy. She remained silent from the moment James Brown got into bed.

James Brown, however, spoke with a smile, "If there’s nothing going on tomorrow, I’m thinking of going to work."

"Call John Smith first thing tomorrow to see what he says. If he has no news, then we’ll pretend to go out and play, and we can vanish. But once you receive a call, you must meet up with me."

"No problem, let’s sleep then. Today was really exciting; it’s been many years since I’ve done something this thrilling."

Helen Wilson finally felt more relaxed, turned over, looked at James Brown, and said, "I really didn’t expect you to be capable of such feats, spotting the camera in an instant and thinking of such a method."

James Brown smiled proudly and said, "I have quite a few tricks up my sleeve, you just haven’t noticed them before."

"Thick-skinned," said Helen Wilson with a disdainful glance, but deep down, she truly admired James Brown. If it weren’t for James Brown this time, she would have been exposed at the first checkpoint.

James Brown yawned and said, "Alright, sleep."

"Yeah, let’s sleep."

Having turned off the TV and the lights, the room fell into darkness. Though Helen Wilson closed her eyes, she couldn’t fall asleep instantly. Today’s events had taken her by surprise. She hadn’t expected this smuggling ring to be so cautious. No wonder they hadn’t been caught on any major charges for many years.

It seemed that there would be many more difficulties ahead. But as she thought about her earlier interactions with James Brown in bed, her face turned red. Though she was prepared for James Brown to take advantage of her, she’d never imagined it would go as far as sharing a bed–fortunately, it was all fake, otherwise she would’ve lost her virginity to James Brown in a blur of confusion.

Turning her head to look at James Brown, she found him sound asleep and snoring. She felt a pang of disappointment; they had gone through that charade, and he didn’t even offer any comforting words, acting as if everything was normal.

But on second thought, James Brown wasn’t too bad of a guy. Any other man in that situation would probably have taken it further, and given that they were now sharing a bed, the fact that he could sleep was something not just any man could manage.

Bathed in the faint moonlight, Helen Wilson looked at James Brown’s profile. A gentle smile appeared on her face. Lying beside this man gave her a sense of security. She closed her eyes and soon drifted off into deep sleep.
