Plunder-Chapter 205 Your mouth is so sweet

"I don’t know who he is? I really don’t know."

The man lay prostrate on the ground, gasping for air weakly.

"Then shall you die?"

Zhou Jin’an uttered in a low growl.

The man immediately begged for mercy again, "I don’t want to die, my son was only born two months ago, he can’t be without a father."

"Your child is only two months old and can’t be without a father, does my child not even have the right to be born?"

He let out a roar of fury.

"I’m sorry, I really didn’t know Miss Qiao was already pregnant, if I had known, I definitely wouldn’t have taken this job..."

"If that’s the case, then redeem yourself. Just help us find the person behind the scenes, and Director Zhou will surely spare you."

Cheng Lu spoke up.

Despair turned to hope once again for the man, "What do you want me to do?"

Zhou Jin’an didn’t speak, Cheng Lu walked over, pulling out a dagger.

The man, frightened, turned as pale as death, wanting to hide but finding nowhere to escape.

Cheng Lu was adept at manipulating a dagger, which glinted with cold light, flipping in his hand.

He squatted down, sneering, "Afraid of dying?"

The man nodded vigorously, like pounding garlic.

"Then, I’ll let you live."

As Cheng Lu’s words fell, with a flick of his wrist, the ropes binding the man’s hands and feet were cut loose.

"Stop hiding and running. Walk out in the open. Director Zhou is giving you a chance to live; cherish it."

The man was somewhat incredulous.

He cast a doubtful look at Zhou Jin’an.

"Get out."

Zhou Jin’an uttered just one word, and the man couldn’t care less about his injuries as he climbed up from the ground and hobbled out.

"Have someone follow him."

Zhou Jin’an commanded again.

"Yes, Director Zhou."

After Cheng Lu gave the order, someone immediately followed the man’s footsteps.

On the way back, Cheng Lu asked doubtfully, "Director Zhou, aren’t you afraid someone will silence him?"

Zhou Jin’an’s face was grim, "Without taking risks, we can’t catch a tiger. Since he knows I’m investigating this matter, he will definitely try to kill to silence him. What we need to do is to draw him out."

At the traffic light intersection, the Maybach came to a stop.

Cheng Lu looked out; across the intersection, Ding Hao’s silver Bentley was parked.

"Director Zhou, it’s Young Master Ding."

Cheng Lu reminded him.

Zhou Jin’an looked up, immediately spotting Ding Hao across the street.

Ding Hao saw Zhou Jin’an as well.

Under the night sky, their eyes met. Ding Hao’s eyes showed a careless disregard, but hidden within was a flicker of ruthlessness, not easy to detect.

The green light came on, and the two cars drove past each other.

As the Bentley was about to disappear, Cheng Lu caught sight of a woman sitting in the back.

He was uncertain, frowning, deep in thought.

"What is it?"

Zhou Jin’an noticed Cheng Lu’s unusual behavior.

"I think I just saw Miss An. She seemed to be in Young Master Ding’s car."

Cheng Lu said.

Upon hearing that name, Zhou Jin’an’s brows furrowed involuntarily.

Returning to Rong City meant he couldn’t avoid An Kexin’s presence.

"What has she been up to lately?"

"After Miss An was beaten by Qiao De, she was in the hospital for two days and then disappeared. She hasn’t been to Chu Garden nor returned to the An family."

Zhou Jin’an’s eyes darkened.

He did not care about An Kexin’s activities; he was only worried that An Kexin would cause trouble and make Qiao En unhappy.

"Find out what she is doing and try to get her to leave Rong City."

"Yes."

When Zhou Jin’an returned to Chu Garden, Qiao En was busy in the kitchen with Sister Rong.

"You’re back?"

She peeked out from the kitchen.

Zhou Jin’an was changing shoes at the entrance hall, "Why didn’t you sleep a little longer?"

"I can’t keep sleeping, or I won’t be able to sleep at night."

After saying this, she suddenly realized the ambiguity of her words, and her cheeks reddened even more.

"Young Master, hurry and wash your hands for a late-night snack." 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Sister Rong brought out the dishes from the kitchen, including Zhou Jin’an’s favorite little wontons.

He went to the washroom to clean his hands, and Qiao En followed him, chatting with him at the door.

"I want to go out and work."

"Why do you suddenly want to work?"

Zhou Jin’an looked at her with a skeptical face.

This question had been seriously considered by Qiao En after meeting Zhou Chucheng at Yun Mountain.

One can only enrich their life if they have ambitions in their heart.

She didn’t have the kind of ambitions Zhou Chucheng did, but she was a down-to-earth person, and work could help her see her own value and meaning.

"I can’t stay idle."

Qiao En didn’t tell the truth.

But Zhou Jin’an understood.

Actually, he didn’t want Qiao En to work outside. For one thing, it was too hard, and he couldn’t bear to see her suffer; for another, he was always worried about her encountering danger.

But besides being his wife, she was herself.

As herself, she would have her own pursuits, and he shouldn’t stand in her way.

"Why not go back to the company?"

Zhou Jin’an suggested.

Qiao En shook her head and immediately refused, "Going back to be your secretary will lead to gossip, and I don’t want people to say that our company has no boundaries. I have made up my mind. I will find a job myself, any type will do."

She was a person with her own opinions, and once she believed in something, no one could shake her.

"How about going to a branch office then? I’ll have Cheng Lu arrange it."

Zhou Jin’an said as he was about to call Cheng Lu.

Qiao En immediately stopped him, "Can you let me try it out on my own?"

She was stubborn and persistent.

Zhou Jin’an had no choice but to compromise.

"But you have to promise me, if it gets too tiring don’t do it, and if you encounter any danger, tell me right away."

"Mr. Zhou, I’m going to work, not on vacation, and certainly not on an adventure."

Qiao En rolled her eyes at Zhou Jin’an’s over-cautiousness.

"I’m worried about you,"

Zhou Jin’an blurted out.

Qiao En felt warmth in her heart and wrapped her arms around his strong arm.

"I’m no longer a child, I’ll be twenty-six next month."

Zhou Jin’an gently scraped her nose tip and said, "But in my heart, you are a child, who never has to grow up."

When she was still a child, she always strived to act like an adult.

But now that she had become an adult, Zhou Jin’an said he wanted her to always be a child.

A warm current flowed into Qiao En’s heart again.

"Zhou Jin’an, be honest, did you sneak out just now to eat honey?"

Qiao En playfully scolded with hands on her hips.

Zhou Jin’an didn’t get the joke, bending down and puckering his lips to pass her inspection.

"No, I swear I didn’t."

Qiao En laughed.

She and Zhou Jin’an were both the same type of person, who used to live too tense, fearing to make mistakes.

But now, marriage had taught them to relax.

"If you didn’t steal any honey, why is your mouth so sweet?"

Zhou Jin’an, finally getting the hint, realized Qiao En’s intent.

As Sister Rong went back to the kitchen to get the dishes, he immediately took Qiao En’s face in his hands.

"Did you secretly taste it? How come I didn’t know? No, taste it again."

As he spoke, he kissed Qiao En’s lips intensely, sweeping her away in the moment.

Sister Rong, carrying soup, was about to come out of the kitchen and just happened to witness this scene.

She pursed her lips with a smile and hastily retreated back to the kitchen.

Then she took out her phone and sent a message.

"Don’t worry, the two of them are doing great!"

Gu Yuan, far thousands of miles away, Auntie Jiang immediately received the message.

She lounged in her chair with a knowing smile on her face.

"Mom, what are you smiling at?"

On the balcony, Xu Cong, who was hanging clothes, poked his head out and asked.

Auntie Jiang kept her lips sealed and said, "Congcong, accompany Mom to Rong City in a couple of days."

However, just as Auntie Jiang had decided to make the trip, an unexpected visitor arrived uninvited.
