“Ah! To the bed?”

Ye Qiu looked at Lin Jingzhi in shock, his heart racing. He thought to himself, I’m here to change your bandages, but you want to sleep with me? Isn’t that a bit too much?

“What are you talking about? Did you misunderstand again? I need you to help me inside to change the bandages,” Lin Jingzhi glared at Ye Qiu with annoyance.

So that’s what it was!

Ye Qiu sighed in relief, though he felt a slight twinge of disappointment.

Actually, it’s fine if you want to sleep with me, but I have to be on top.

After helping Lin Jingzhi into the room, Ye Qiu said, “Sister Lin, how about I change your bandages on the sofa?”

“I don’t like sitting on the sofa, it’s too hard.”

Ye Qiu pursed his lips, thinking, don’t women like hard things?

Sitting on the bed, Ye Qiu unwrapped the bandages on Lin Jingzhi’s calf, took a look, and said, “Sister Lin, your wound has actually healed. You don’t need to change the bandages every day.”

“What do you mean? Are you saying you don’t want to come see me?” Lin Jingzhi pouted, looking pitiful. “Do you really dislike me that much?”

“Sister Lin, you’ve misunderstood. That’s not what I meant.”

“Then what do you mean?”

“Based on my clinical experience, in your case, you don’t need to change the bandages daily, but you do need to take anti-inflammatory medication on time every day,” Ye Qiu explained. “I’ll still come to see you every day.”

“Hmph, that’s more like it.” Lin Jingzhi’s face lit up with a smile.

“By the way, where’s your assistant?”

“You mean Little Jie? She went to the company,” Lin Jingzhi shifted the topic. “Why did Ninety-Thousand-Year-Old suddenly hand Jiangzhou over to you?”

Ye Qiu then recounted the events in detail.

After listening, Lin Jingzhi said, “Although Ninety-Thousand-Year-Old handed Jiangzhou over to you, he left his adopted son Han Long behind. What do you think his intention was?”

“I guess Ninety-Thousand-Year-Old left Han Long to keep an eye on me!”

“The fact that you can think of that shows you’ve matured,” Lin Jingzhi continued. “But you don’t need to worry too much. You are now the boss of Jiangzhou’s underground world. Han Long can’t stir up much trouble.”

“Mm.”

Lin Jingzhi then said, “I have a suggestion. Would you like to hear it?”

“What suggestion?” Ye Qiu asked curiously.

Lin Jingzhi said, “The change of leadership in Jiangzhou hasn’t been announced yet, so no one knows that Ninety-Thousand-Year-Old handed it over to you. I think it would be better to let Han Long be the boss in the open.”

“What’s the purpose of that?” Ye Qiu was puzzled.

Lin Jingzhi smiled, “The actions of Jiangzhou’s boss will undoubtedly attract attention from various factions. Let Han Long deal with them openly while you control everything from behind the scenes. This way, you can avoid some trouble and keep Han Long too busy to watch you. Most importantly, the Shaman God Sect won’t realize that you and Zhao Yun destroyed their Jiangzhou branch. They’ll blame it on Ninety-Thousand-Year-Old and Han Long. It’s a win-win-win situation. What do you think?”

Ye Qiu’s eyes lit up, “I think it’s great.”

His biggest concern was the Shaman God Sect, a group of lunatics who acted unpredictably and were extremely dangerous.

If Han Long acted as the boss openly, the Shaman God Sect wouldn’t suspect him, keeping him safe.

Ye Qiu smiled, “Sister Lin, your plan is brilliant. It not only resolves my crisis but also solves many problems for me. You’re like a modern-day Zhuge Liang.”

Lin Jingzhi glared at him coquettishly, “Zhuge Liang was a man, I’m a woman.”

“Then you’re the modern-day female Zhuge Liang,” Ye Qiu chuckled. “Sister Lin, why don’t you join Dragon Gate and be my strategist?”

“No thanks,” Lin Jingzhi replied. “I’m not interested in being a strategist.”

“Then what do you want to be?”

Lin Jingzhi hooked Ye Qiu’s chin with her hand and said seductively, “I want to be the boss’s woman.”

Uh—

Ye Qiu didn’t dare look into Lin Jingzhi’s eyes. This woman was too seductive; one look from her could awaken the beast in any man. He was afraid he couldn’t control himself.

“Are the bandages done?” Lin Jingzhi suddenly asked.

“Yes.”

“How about we take this opportunity to do some exercise?”

“What exercise?” Ye Qiu was confused.

“Idiot!” Lin Jingzhi tapped Ye Qiu’s forehead, then lay straight on the bed.

In an instant, Ye Qiu understood what she meant.

One look at her long legs, flat stomach, white neck, stunning face, and captivating eyes…

Ye Qiu felt his mouth go dry and his body heat up.

“What are you standing there for? Hurry up, I can’t wait any longer.” Lin Jingzhi bit her lower lip with her white teeth and beckoned Ye Qiu with a bold gesture.

Ye Qiu’s blood boiled, and just as he was about to pounce, there was a sudden knock on the door, like a bucket of cold water.

“Who is it?” Lin Jingzhi asked impatiently.

“President Lin, two police officers are here to see Mr. Ye,” came the voice of the housekeeper from outside.

“I know.” Lin Jingzhi sat up and asked Ye Qiu, “Why are the police looking for you?”

Ye Qiu shook his head, “I don’t know.”

“Come on, I’ll go with you to check.”

“Sister Lin, your leg is still injured. It’s inconvenient for you to walk. I’ll go alone.”

“It’s okay, I’ll go with you.”

Ye Qiu and Lin Jingzhi went downstairs and saw two uniformed officers waiting in the living room.

“Officers, what do you need Ye Qiu for?” Lin Jingzhi asked, her voice as melodious as a nightingale.

The two officers couldn’t hide their amazement and were momentarily stunned before saying, “President Lin, we need Ye Qiu’s assistance in a homicide investigation.”

“A case? What case?”

“It’s about Guo Shaocong.”

Boom!

Ye Qiu’s heart skipped a beat.

He was very surprised.

Guo Shaocong had been buried alive by Zhao Yun’s men. How did the police find out so quickly?

Lin Jingzhi smiled, “Officers, you must be mistaken. Ye Qiu is a law-abiding citizen. How could he be involved in a homicide?”

“President Lin, this matter involves Ye Qiu, and we must take him back for questioning.”

“Do you have any evidence?” Lin Jingzhi asked softly.

“Well…”

The two officers hesitated. If they had evidence, it wouldn’t be just questioning; they would be making an arrest.

Lin Jingzhi’s face darkened, and she suddenly snapped, “Without evidence, you want to take my man? Who gave you the guts?”

The two officers looked at Ye Qiu in shock.

This guy is President Lin’s man?

How is that possible!

He’s just a small-time doctor. How could he be with Jiangzhou’s top business beauty?

Could it be…

The two officers exchanged a glance, and the same three words popped into their minds: pretty boy!

“President Lin, it’s like this. The deceased Guo Shaocong’s father, Guo Danu, has formally accused Ye Qiu of being the murderer. So we have no choice but to take Ye Qiu back.”

“Yes, please don’t be angry, President Lin. We’re just asking Mr. Ye to assist in the investigation. We won’t do anything to him.”

The two officers lowered their stance. They knew Lin Jingzhi’s reputation in Jiangzhou’s business world as a formidable figure.

“In any case, without evidence, you can’t take him from me,” Lin Jingzhi said firmly.

The two officers looked at each other, unsure of what to do.

At that moment, Ye Qiu said, “I’ll go with you.”
