Return to the Day When My Pregnant Wife Jumped Off the Building-Chapter 287: Easy to Board a Pirate Ship, Hard to Get Off_1

Chapter 287: Chapter 287: Easy to Board a Pirate Ship, Hard to Get Off_1

Xiao Ming’s eyebrows instinctively shot up, then slowly descended.

"Oh."

"Oh?"

Just from the volume, one could tell how dissatisfied Ding Jianwei was, "That was the spy I was in charge of monitoring!

Now the person has been assassinated, which is a serious dereliction of my duty, and I’m going to be punished for it.

And all you have to say is ’oh’?"

"Punishment sounds great!" Xiao Ming yawned, "They should just fire you. I’d fund you to start an information consulting and investigation company. Being a paparazzo or a private detective isn’t too bad."

Ding Jianwei blinked, glancing at Yang Hanqing, "Sounds like I’m being kept by you as a hidden mistress."

In an instant, Yang Hanqing’s ears twitched and the hand stroking the bronze hairpin stiffened.

"Think whatever you want," Xiao Ming’s voice sounded as if he was about to fall asleep, "Even if I really stashed you away in a golden house, it’s still better than you looking for death every day out there."

Ding Jianwei pursed her lips, then lifted her buttocks and dropped heavily onto the area above Xiao Ming’s waist.

"Damn it!"

Xiao Ming arched up like a pinned tiger, head and feet rising at the same time.

"You damn woman, are you trying to murder me? Be careful or my wife will fight you to the death!"

"If I ruin your waist, it won’t just be your wife who wants to fight me to the death."

Xiao Ming was speechless, "So what do you want? Maybe...a shoulder to cry on?"

Ding Jianwei’s lips curled up, "That doesn’t sound too bad."

"Hanqing, hug her."

"Huh?"

Yang Hanqing, whose heart was rolling with jealousy, was startled, "Wh-why should I be the one to hug her?"

"Are you suggesting I should hug her?"

"Oh right, right, right."

Yang Hanqing put down the wooden box and was about to get up.

Ding Jianwei quickly pressed a hand to her, saying with a mixture of laughter and tears, "You’re really utterly controlled by him."

Yang Hanqing pressed her lips together in a smile, "As long as he’s happy, that’s all that matters!"

"Men shouldn’t be indulged all the time."

Ding Jianwei shook her head, then slapped Xiao Ming’s buttocks hard.

"Hurry up, do you have any thoughts about Hao Jianwen’s death?"

"No thoughts."

Xiao Ming continued to sound listless as if he could fall asleep any second, "If you hadn’t emptied his belly before Hao Jianwen died and managed to watch the killer taking advantage, you wouldn’t have the right to be sitting on top of me today."

Ding Jianwei started smiling, "Not bad, not bad. You’ve got some skill in guessing what’s on a leader’s mind.

Next, tell me, what do you think I’ll do?"

"Next, of course, is to follow the clues, find all the little Japanese rats lurking underground in Lingnan, arrest who needs to be arrested, monitor who needs to be monitored, and in one fell swoop turn them into our fake information middlemen!"

"Hmm, that indeed is the most conventional approach. Now, what role do you think you should play in this... ah!"

Xiao Ming suddenly rolled over, flipping Ding Jianwei into the sofa.

"Miss Ding, make yourself clear, what do you mean by me playing a role?

I’ve been out for more than two months now, and New Year’s Day is almost here. I’m going home for the holiday, and nothing’s going to stop me.

Let me tell you, I’m just an informant, not one of your employees!"

Ding Jianwei simply lay in his arms, "It’s easy to get on a pirate ship but hard to get off. Don’t forget, you have high hopes for the Lingnan industry."

Xiao Ming slowly narrowed his eyes, a glint flickering within.

"Is that what you think? Or is it what the higher-ups think?"

Feeling the chill in his tone, Ding Jianwei immediately dared not to joke anymore and sat up to speak seriously, "Don’t get angry just yet, I understand how much you hate constraints; I wouldn’t accept a mission on your behalf that limits your freedom without asking."

Xiao Ming’s expression cleared slightly, "What exactly are you trying to say?"

"After analyzing the conversation with Furukawa Shizuka that you secretly recorded, the organization has decided to assign you the task of turning her into a double agent."

Xiao Ming was stunned, "You want me to make Furukawa Shizuka a double agent?"

"Exactly," Ding Jianwei nodded, "Based on the change in Furukawa Shizuka’s attitude toward you, it’s very likely that you have already planted a seed of fear in her subconscious. In other words, the moment she sees you, she instinctively goes on the defensive. For you, that’s basically like having her fate in your hands. With your skills, even training her to be an obedient dog wouldn’t be hard. Don’t deny it, Fujiwara Rika calls you ’master’ so diligently; I’m well aware of your capabilities and dark side."

Xiao Ming gave a bitter smile, "That’s because you don’t understand Fujiwara. That woman’s perversity is off the charts; when she calls me ’master’, her greatest wish is to trample me under her feet, making me call her ’master’."

"Furukawa Shizuka has a liking for women, which is also not normal. And coincidentally, both of them are nicknamed ’Xiangxiang’, which fits your taste perfectly."

Xiao Ming lay back on the sofa, resigned, "I realized, my dark side, it’s all brought out by you. I used to be such a cultured and refined kid, just wanted to make money quietly and provide for my wife and children. Ever since I met you, there hasn’t been a single good thing!"

"Disgusting, right?" Ding Jianwei patted his stomach and stood up to leave, "You want to go home for the New Year, no one is stopping you, but you have to take Furukawa Shizuka with you."

"I’m just a businessman! How is it so hard to conduct business in peace? Darn it, what a headache. Bing, come and give me a massage."

"Let me do it." fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

Yang Hanqing put down the wooden box, placed Xiao Ming’s head on her legs, and began to massage. She couldn’t help but ask after a short while, "Who is Fujiwara Rika?"

Xiao Ming sprang up and ran away in an instant.

"Mengmeng, baby, stop studying and come sleep with daddy."

Hearing Xiao Zhimeng’s cheers from the bedroom, Yang Hanqing wore a worried expression on her face.

"The master is out and about. Except for his belt, everything else is loose, the jerk!"

The appearance of a relic that could potentially prove the Empress Dowager Cixi’s illicit affair was no small affair in the archeological community. Thus, that very afternoon, a call from the National Museum reached Gu Tinglan’s cellphone, seeking to discuss with Xiao Ming the timing of the donation ceremony.

Xiao Ming, of course, wanted it to be as soon as possible, so it was scheduled for the day after tomorrow, the 26th, the day after Christmas, at the Lingnan Museum.

While he was still speaking with the museum staff, his own phone started to ring. Seeing that it was Furukawa Shizuka calling, he immediately hung up.

On the other end, Furukawa Shizuka put down her own phone, dazedly telling Furukawa Tairou, "Father, he... he rejected the call."

Furukawa Tairou frowned, "Call again."

Furukawa Shizuka felt humiliated, yet did not dare to disobey, so she reluctantly pressed redial.

And was rejected again.

"Why is this?" Furukawa Tairou started to get angry, "Last night he was clearly willing to walk away for your sake, so why won’t he even take a phone call today? Damn woman! Did you do something today to make him angry?"

"No, Father! I haven’t contacted him at all today, how could I have possibly made him angry?"

"Then you tell me, why would a man suddenly be unwilling to even give a woman the time of day without reason?"

"I... I..."

Just as Furukawa Shizuka was anxiously trying to come up with an explanation, her phone suddenly rang, and it was Xiao Ming calling. A sense of being rescued surged in her heart, and she happily showed Furukawa Tairou.

"Father, it’s him! He is calling!"

"Aren’t you going to answer it?"

"Oh! Right!"

Furukawa Shizuka took a deep breath to calm her emotions and answered the phone, "Hello? Mr. Xiao..."

"Sorry, sorry! My kid was playing with the phone just now; I hope Shizuka hasn’t gotten upset and is still willing to give me a chance to make up for it."

Xiao Ming was never short of excuses.
