He returned the phone, Shen Qing took it and said a few more words to Chairman Tan, then hung up.

Shen Qing put away the phone, glanced at Song Guanchao, and said, "Get in the car with me."

When Song Guanchao got into the car with her, he took a special look and discovered that this car actually didn't have a dashcam.

But he still asked, "Does the car have a dashcam?"

"No."

Shen Qing seemed incapable of smiling, her words coming out like ice, one by one.

About ten minutes later, the car stopped by a sparsely populated road.

Shen Qing said, "It was here where I parked to go to the bathroom. When I returned, the items were gone."

Song Guanchao opened the car door, got out, walked around, and scanned the surroundings.

This woman really knows how to pick a spot.

There isn't even a streetlight at this ghostly place, let alone surveillance cameras.

Getting stolen here makes retrieving things extremely difficult.

"Knock knock." Song Guanchao came back, knocking on the car window.

The window rolled down, and Shen Qing said expressionlessly, "Speak."

Song Guanchao asked, "Other than those goods, did you lose anything else?"

"Nothing else."

"Where were the goods placed at that time?"

"The front passenger seat."

"Was the car turned off?"

"No."

"How long did you spend in the restroom?"

"No more than five minutes."

Song Guanchao nodded and got back in the car, "Take me to the bar."

Shen Qing drove him to the bar street, and as Song Guanchao unbuckled his seat belt ready to exit, Shen Qing asked, "Where are you going?"

"Home."

"Chairman Tan has said that this week, I must follow you."

"Follow me for what? Afraid I'll run away?"

"Yes." Shen Qing replied bluntly.

Song Guanchao was speechless.

But losing goods worth 200,000, it's reasonable for someone to follow him.

Yet… Song Guanchao felt something was off.

This Shen Qing is Chairman Tan's secretary, not a simple status.

Even if he promised to find the thief within a week, she shouldn't have to personally watch over him, right?

"How will you follow me? It's pointless just to watch me from outside, isn't it?"

"Wherever you are, that's where I will be."

"What do you mean? You want to follow me 24 hours a day?"

"Yes."

"…" Song Guanchao's expression was peculiar, the unsettling feeling inside him became increasingly stronger.

He squinted his eyes, staring at Shen Qing for a few seconds, suddenly having some guesses in his heart.

"Follow me if you want."

He got out of the car and called Chen Yirou.

"You guys go back first. I'm not going back tonight. If Teacher Yu asks, just give him a word; if not, then forget it."

"Where are you going?"

"Hotel."

"What are you going to do at the hotel?"

"Rooming with a woman."

"…" Chen Yirou didn't ask further, nor did she need to.

Rooming with a woman, aside from what's in one's pants, there's nothing else.

After the call, Song Guanchao returned to the car, saying, "To the Sheraton."

Shen Qing's willow-like eyebrows furrowed slightly, yet she still didn't speak.

Twenty minutes later, they arrived at the hotel.

Song Guanchao booked a room and went straight upstairs.

Shen Qing followed him all along, seeming intent on sleeping together tonight.

One must know, Song Guanchao booked a king-size room, just one bed.

If she wants to sleep, she can only share the bed with Song Guanchao.

Entering the room with the card key, Song Guanchao looked at her, "Sister Qing, are you going to sleep on the same bed with me?"

Shen Qing's face kept calm, silent.

"Only for goods worth 200,000, given Sister Qing's status, shouldn't it reach this level?"

Shen Qing remained silent, pushing Song Guanchao aside, walked in, and sat on the bed.

Looking at the seated Shen Qing, Song Guanchao revealed an amused smile.

He was even more convinced, the guesses in his heart might be the truth.

He walked over, stripping his clothes before Shen Qing.

Removing his top, his strong muscular contours exposed.

Shen Qing's expression was still calm, but Song Guanchao keenly noticed her dodging gaze, obviously her heart wasn't calm, everything was pretended.

After taking off his shirt, Song Guanchao continued with his pants.

Soon, only a pair of boxers were left on his body.

"Sister Qing, do you want to take a shower?" Song Guanchao teased intentionally.

"You take yours, don't mind me."

"Alright, I'll go shower myself."

Song Guanchao smiled and walked into the bathroom.

As he went in, Shen Qing exhaled a breath.

But thinking of the need to sleep on the same bed tonight with him, Shen Qing felt somewhat resistant.

Yet resistance was useless, Chairman Tan had said, if Song Guanchao really wanted to do anything to her, do not fight back.

Though unclear why Chairman Tan used this method to deliberately approach this man, regardless of the reason, what she needed to do was heed Chairman Tan's instructions, not question why.

Yes, the goods weren't stolen but hidden by Chairman Tan.

Chairman Tan instructed her to approach Song Guanchao in this way.

She suspected Song Guanchao's identity was extraordinary, otherwise, given Chairman Tan's status, it wouldn't necessitate using this method for her to approach him.

In the bathroom, Song Guanchao closed his eyes, standing under the warm water, reviewing the night's events.

No matter how many times he reviewed, the final conclusion was always the same, the goods weren't stolen but hidden by Shen Qing!

After the shower, she was still seated on the bed.

Song Guanchao wrapped only in a towel, upon walking over, noticed her body clearly tremble lightly.

She was very nervous.

"Sister Qing, go wash, the sooner we can sleep."

Shen Qing said nothing, waiting until he was on the bed before she got up and headed to the bathroom.

Song Guanchao pulled off the towel, lay on the bed, casually grabbed the duvet, and covered his stomach.

About twenty minutes later, Shen Qing finished her shower and came out.

Her body also wrapped in just a towel.

She approached the bed, seeming hesitant, but ultimately lifted the duvet and lay down.

If Chen Yirou saw this scene, she would probably find it absurd.

Clearly the two met for the first time tonight, and due to Song Guanchao bringing no cash, they had quite a disagreement.

Yet less than two hours later, they ended up lying in the same bed.

A lone man and woman, sharing a room, even lying in one bed.

Under these circumstances, the likelihood of them getting intimate overnight was as high as one hundred percent.

Song Guanchao turned sideways, glancing at her, suddenly switched off the lights.

The room instantaneously sank into darkness.

Shen Qing's body tensed, her heart rate started accelerating.

And just as the light was switched off, she felt Song Guanchao approaching her.

Then, he came upon her.

His strong body pressed against her frail one.

The intense masculine scent made her almost suffocate, her heart raced rapidly.

"What… what are you doing!" Her voice trembled.

"I have good news, Sister Qing wants to hear it?"

While speaking, Song Guanchao slid both hands under her towel-covered body, sticking to her smooth and delicate thighs, slowly upward.

"What… what's the good news?"

The coarse handprints on her body were so vivid, inciting a physiological response amidst the tension.

"The good news is…"

Mid-sentence, Song Guanchao suddenly discarded her towel, unexpectedly grabbing her soft chest with his right hand.

At the sudden grip on such sensitive areas, Shen Qing's body instantly flushed, her delicate body trembling continuously, letting out an uncontrollable soft moan.

Song Guanchao kneaded vigorously, bit her burning earlobe, "I know who stole the goods."
