WHCTIL - 45

“Tired.”

Qin Tang’s mood improved, her tone becoming soft, almost like a coquettish complaint.

Jiang Chuan leaned down to kiss her earlobe and squeezed her buttocks, “Where are you tired?”

Qin Tang was most afraid of him kissing her ears, so she shrank her neck to avoid it and began panting lightly, “Don’t press on me, you’re too heavy.”

He chuckled, his chest vibrating against her as he tightened his embrace and flipped them over.

The world spun, and Qin Tang parted her legs, lying on top of him. He said, “Let you be on top.”

Qin Tang’s face flushed red as she lay still, poking his chest lightly with her fingertips, “I said I was tired just now.”

Jiang Chuan wrapped his arms around her body, touching her thighs and buttocks, his hand slipping into her panties to knead her buttocks, then lower, reaching between her legs.

Qin Tang moaned softly, “It hurts…”

His touch was gentle, his fingertips gradually becoming moist.

Qin Tang couldn’t help herself, kissing his Adam’s apple, hearing his heavy breathing in her ear.

Jiang Chuan restrained himself patiently, suddenly flipping her back over. Qin Tang’s hair was disheveled, her eyes moist.

“Let me see…” His eyes were deep as he stripped her completely, holding her thighs firmly and lifting her up. He leaned down, staring at that spot. Last night, he hadn’t controlled himself well and hurt her a bit. He frowned slightly, feeling regretful yet more aroused.

The indoor lighting was soft, and Qin Tang bit her lip tightly, her face completely red.

Just as she was about to make a sound, her mind exploded, her body arching sharply as she cried out.

When Qin Tang was almost driven to tears, he finally rose, gripping her waist with the base of his palm, thrusting in forcefully.

She let out a soft moan, her whole body flushed pink, tears welling in her eyes.

Jiang Chuan stared at her, his scalp tingling, his whole body tense, his narrow waist moving more fiercely.

He absolutely adored her delicate and tender appearance.

This was how she was supposed to be.

Qin Tang’s body trembled violently but became even softer, nearly overwhelmed by him.

The climax came quickly, and she was momentarily lost, her eyes slightly closed, her lips parted, whimpering as she pleaded, “Stop… stop for a while…”

Jiang Chuan’s veins bulged on his forehead as he stopped, gripping her chin and leaning down to kiss her.

“Does it still hurt?”

“...”

The stimulation of her body had surpassed any other sensation; she couldn’t speak and could only shake her head weakly.

Jiang Chuan’s eyes darkened as he held her waist, matching the movements beneath him with fierce thrusts.

Qin Tang’s consciousness blurred, thinking several times that she might die.

...

After it was over, Jiang Chuan hugged her from behind and kissed her earlobe, “Are you alright?”

Qin Tang: “...”

Her gaze was unfocused, staring at the white wall, her throat dry and uncomfortable.

Jiang Chuan got up, took the cup from the table, let her lean on his shoulder, and brought the cup to her lips.

Qin Tang tilted her face up, drinking hastily, making a soft “gurgle” sound.

Jiang Chuan chuckled, “Do you want more?”

Qin Tang pushed the cup away, her voice hoarse, “No...”

After cleaning up, Jiang Chuan propped one leg up against the headboard. Qin Tang lay on his chest, softly speaking, “Is the case you’re investigating dangerous?”

Jiang Chuan looked down at her and told the truth, “Mm.”

Qin Tang’s heart tightened. After a long while, she gently rubbed her head against him and said, “Then be careful.”

Jiang Chuan pursed his lips, pulling her closer to meet her eyes, “Just this once.”

“What about after?”

Jiang Chuan tightened his arms around her, his gaze firm, “There won’t be any more after this. This is what I owe, and I have to repay it.”

Qin Tang’s heart trembled as she stared at him, “Repay?”

Jiang Chuan looked at her and softly said, “A former colleague of mine sacrificed himself. I bear responsibility. The things he didn’t finish, I need to complete.”

Lin Hao’s death was always a thorn in his heart. If this case wasn’t resolved, he couldn’t face Lin Hao.

Jiang Kun had been quiet for two or three years but started moving again recently. Zhao Qianhe had also been released from prison, and everything returned to how it was a few years ago. Jiang Chuan had intricate ties to this case. If he became too passive, he could lose his life at any moment.

Cao Sheng applied to his superiors to let Jiang Chuan participate in this operation.

As for afterward, whether he could regain his police status,

he no longer cared.

Qin Tang held him tightly, “Alright, I’ll wait for you.”

Jiang Chuan froze, gently closed his eyes, and kissed her forehead. The taste in his heart was indescribable.

That accident involved her as well.

And Chen Jingsheng, and that big boy who often called her.

He gently combed her long hair, took a deep breath, and after a long while, whispered, “Tangtang.”

Qin Tang: “...”

The person in his arms was soft, her breathing long and steady.

Jiang Chuan looked down; she had already fallen asleep hugging him, her long eyelashes brushing against his chest.

...

Jiang Chuan resumed his early-out-late-back lifestyle.

For several consecutive days, Qin Tang only saw him at night.

Jiang Chuan asked her when she planned to return. Qin Tang said, “Wait until after my birthday.”

The auction would end in a few days, and her birthday was just around the corner. Jiang Chuan nodded, “Alright.”

Tomorrow was the day of the auction. Lu Sha hadn’t returned to Yi Station for several days, but her luggage was still there.

Cao Sheng had also returned to Xi’an, and everyone was on high alert.

Cao Sheng and Cao Yan, the two brothers, met with Jiang Chuan. Cao Sheng said, “The person we sent to track Lu Sha was discovered. Jiang Kun has strong counter-surveillance skills; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to last so many years.”

Jiang Chuan ground the dirt on the ground with his foot, “Where is the person?”

“He’s back.”

Cao Yan asked, “Zhao Qianhe hasn’t caused you trouble?”

Jiang Chuan narrowed his eyes slightly, “No, perhaps he has more important matters. He has no time to deal with these petty grudges.”

When Qin Tang was kidnapped, he also endured quite a beating. Zhao Qianhe had vented half of his anger.

Cao Sheng poured out a cigarette from the pack on the table, lit it, took a few puffs, and looked at Cao Yan and Jiang Chuan, “There’s new information. Zhao Qianhe and Jiang Kun are probably not on the same side anymore; they’re fighting amongst themselves.”

Cao Yan was somewhat surprised, though his tone couldn’t hide his excitement, “Weren’t these two on the same boat?”

If these two were really fighting amongst themselves, sooner or later, they would expose a weakness.

“Zhao Qianhe was imprisoned, and in jail, someone would frequently cause him trouble, wanting his life. This person was likely Jiang Kun. After all, Zhao Qianhe’s relationship with Jiang Kun was unusual. Zhao Qianhe isn’t a fool and would definitely leave a backup plan. Jiang Kun wanted to kill him to prevent future troubles. However, the fact that Zhao Qianhe could get so close to Jiang Kun shows that he’s not simple either. Killing him wouldn’t be easy. Since he couldn’t kill him, he got him out. Zhao Qianhe’s release from prison must have taken considerable effort from Jiang Kun.”

After Jiang Chuan finished speaking, he reached for the pack and took out a cigarette.

Cao Sheng glanced at him and smiled.

It was a pity that Jiang Chuan left the police force.

Cao Sheng said, “Zhao Qianhe has narrowly escaped death multiple times and carries heavy resentment. Jiang Kun once wanted his life. It’s impossible for him to work for Jiang Kun as before. This trip to the Yunnan border likely found him a new path, a new partner, giving him the strength to confront Jiang Kun, which is why he dared to come back.”

Jiang Chuan lit the cigarette, smoke swirling around.

Cao Yan slapped his thigh, “This time, we must capture all these people in one fell swoop.”

Jiang Chuan lightly tapped his fingers on the table. Hearing this, he clenched his fist tightly, “Mm.”

Before leaving, Jiang Chuan made a request to Cao Sheng.

...

At noon the next day, Jiang Chuan returned to Yi Station, opened the rear car door, and a tall, strong German Shepherd jumped out.

Xiaocheng exclaimed, “Ah, where did this dog come from?”

Jiang Chuan glanced at him, “Brought back from the transport company.”

The transport company indeed had two German Shepherds, brought back by Jiang Chuan. One had a lame leg, and the other appeared quite old.

They were completely different from this young, robust one.

Xiaocheng went over and petted it, grinning, “Brother, do you think I’m blind to dogs?”

Jiang Chuan smiled, “Don’t talk nonsense.” He looked towards Qin Tang standing at the living room door and handed the leash to Xiaocheng, “Take good care of it.”

Xiaocheng: “Is it going to eat leftovers?”

Jiang Chuan: “Give it some meat.”

Qin Tang immediately recognized the dog as a police dog. When she was young, her father had kept a retired police dog that eventually died of old age.

Jiang Chuan walked up to Qin Tang: “When are we leaving?”

Qin Tang said: “After lunch. The auction doesn’t start until 5 PM, and I don’t want to go too early.”

Jiang Chuan looked at her: “I’ll accompany you in the afternoon.”

These days, Cao Yan had been following her around. Qin Tang vaguely guessed it was Jiang Chuan’s intention and didn’t refuse.

Qin Tang thought for a moment and said: “Cao Yan can go with me.”

Jiang Chuan: “No, I’m going with you.”
