The two of them headed straight for Yu Xiaoxiao's apartment.
As soon as they entered the bedroom, Yu Xiaoxiao gave Jiang Cheng a kiss and prepared to head to the bathroom, but Jiang Cheng pulled her back.
Jiang Cheng's lips curled into a smirk as he said, "Wait, I like it au naturel."
Hearing this, Yu Xiaoxiao gave Jiang Cheng's chest a symbolic push and said, "You're terrible, you're getting more and more improper."
Despite her words, Yu Xiaoxiao pressed herself tightly against Jiang Cheng.
Soon, their lips became inextricably entangled.
They were inseparable, their teeth and tongues locked in a passionate embrace.
Jiang Cheng's hands began to move upward from below.
He saw Yu Xiaoxiao's body turn as soft as a puddle of mud.
Feeling Yu Xiaoxiao's breathing grow heavier, Jiang Cheng paused his movements.
Suddenly deprived of Jiang Cheng's embrace, Yu Xiaoxiao felt a sudden sense of emptiness.
However, Jiang Cheng was in no hurry.
While Yu Xiaoxiao had been trying on the evening gown earlier, he had been imagining a specific scene.
He reached out and pulled open the curtains by the window.
With that pull, the golden glow of the setting sun instantly flooded the entire room.
The light of the sunset enveloped the two of them.
The jewelry Yu Xiaoxiao was wearing also emitted a brilliant radiance under the sunlight.
The light radiating around her made her look both sacred and beautiful.
Jiang Cheng hugged Yu Xiaoxiao from behind and looked out at the scenery.
The room's window faced The Bund in Magic City, offering an excellent view.
One could see the shimmering riverbank, with various types of merchant ships still on the water's surface.
The two of them only spared a glance at such beautiful scenery, for at this moment, there was something more important to finish between them.
Jiang Cheng slowly breathed in the fragrance emanating from her body.
The slight stubble on his chin gently rubbed against Yu Xiaoxiao's fragrant shoulder.
Then, he couldn't help but begin to peck at her skin lightly.
Jiang Cheng's movements were extremely slow and gentle, yet they felt incredibly teasing.
Yu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but tilt her head back, desperately wanting to get even closer to Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng's movements traveled from her fragrant shoulder to her neck, and then to her cheek.
Then, he kissed Yu Xiaoxiao's sexy lips as she turned her head.
As their lips lingered together, the zipper of Yu Xiaoxiao's evening gown also began to quietly slide down... It wasn't until past seven in the evening that the two of them finally called a temporary truce.
By now, the sunset outside the window had long since faded, and it was pitch black outside; the cruise ships along The Bund had begun to light up.
Having entered sage mode, Jiang Cheng leaned against the headboard with Yu Xiaoxiao in his arms, scrolling through TikTok on his phone.
At this moment, Yu Xiaoxiao was nestled against Jiang Cheng's chest, her face flushed.
Her previously soaked hair had been blown half-dry by her.
While ordering takeout on her phone, Yu Xiaoxiao glanced at Jiang Cheng's screen.
She discovered that Jiang Cheng was watching a food Streamer right in front of her.
Yu Xiaoxiao took a look; the Streamer making the food was very beautiful.
Feeling a bit jealous, she pouted and said dissatisfiedly, "Hmph, you don't know how to cherish me at all. I told you to stop earlier, but you just wouldn't."
Jiang Cheng speechlessly pinched Yu Xiaoxiao's puffed-up cheek.
Yu Xiaoxiao, this sexy older-sister type, was actually the type who was tough on the outside but soft on the inside.
Every time, her provocations toward Jiang Cheng were the most intense.
But she was also the one who surrendered the fastest.
Almost every time, after ten or twenty minutes, she would start urging for the battle to end.
"Don't forget, who was the one giving me a 'warm welcome' just now? What's there to be shy about? I'm the only one who saw it."
After Jiang Cheng finished speaking, Yu Xiaoxiao's cheeks flushed unnaturally: "Don't mention it. Hurry up and forget what happened, or I'll die of embarrassment."
"I'm afraid that won't do. After that first experience just now, I think I've figured out how to flip your switch. How about we order some drinks to replenish our fluids and try again later?"
"I don't want to! Isn't there still a gala? We're almost out of time," Yu Xiaoxiao said, pushing Jiang Cheng.
"Mm, you're right. There will be plenty of opportunities during this long night; no need to rush this once."
Despite saying that, Jiang Cheng's hand began to slide inside... At eight o'clock in the evening, after the brief battle ended, Jiang Cheng and Yu Xiaoxiao finally left the apartment.
Meanwhile, Wang Sheng had already been waiting downstairs for a long time in the rolls-royce.
Seeing Jiang Cheng come down, Wang Sheng immediately got out and opened the rear door for him.
Just before Jiang Cheng got into the car, Wang Sheng glanced at Yu Xiaoxiao inside and whispered to Jiang Cheng, "Young Master, there's something I need to report to you."
Seeing Wang Sheng's grim expression, Jiang Cheng stopped his ascent into the car, nodded, and closed the door.
"What is it?"
"It's about Luo Jia. Previously, the other party hadn't made a move, so we couldn't find any useful clues. But now we've finally cleared it up; the person who instructed Luo Jia is Wen Ang."
Jiang Cheng was somewhat surprised by this answer.
In his conjectures, the biggest suspect was Wang Hao, who was far away overseas.
After all, because of Jiang Cheng, Wang Hao's father's career in Magic City was ruined; not only was he demoted several levels, but he also faced a post-event reckoning.
He shouldn't have had any grudges with Wen Ang before.
Even if there were, they should have only started recently.
Jiang Cheng couldn't understand what friction there had been between him and Wen Ang previously.
The first time the two of them met was when he was eating with Qin Fen and the others at the Peace Hotel.
Wen Ang and An Xin also happened to be there for a blind date dinner.
After that meeting, Luo Jia began to appear in Xingchen Investment Company as a mole.
Could it be because Annie called him 'Papa Jiang' on the day of the blind date, so Wen Ang found Luo Jia to set him up?
If that was really the case, then this Wen Ang was absolutely toxic.
"Are you sure?"
Looking at Jiang Cheng's dark expression, Wang Sheng nodded and said, "Confirmed. While tracking Wen Ang's bribery activities recently, we found he transferred a sum of money to someone in a certain department. He used an overseas account, and we discovered this account is the same one that previously transferred money to Luo Jia."
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng's gaze grew increasingly cold.
A dangerous smile curved on the corner of his mouth. "I see. In that case, just get rid of him. Be careful this time; don't leave any traces."
Wang Sheng's eyes showed no ripples as he nodded respectfully, "Yes, I understand."
Regarding the strength and execution capability of the personnel in the Security Team rewarded by the system,
Jiang Cheng never had any doubts or even concerns.
The few of them were directly assigned to him by the system.
If even they could make some kind of slip-up, then Jiang Cheng would have nothing to say.
However, he believed it was absolutely impossible for such a situation to occur...
