Please, mature women, have some self-respect. I just want a raise and a promotion.

"Don't think about it."

Qiu Xiuqin reached out and stroked Lin Zheng's face.

"I can't figure it out at all."

"Why don't you relax for a bit?"

Lin Zheng looked at her, his heart racing.

Qiu Xiuqin's eyes are very bright, like two stars.

Her lips were full, painted with light pink lipstick, and gleamed alluringly in the sunlight.

"Sister Xiuqin..."

"Don't speak." Qiu Xiuqin stood on tiptoe and kissed his lips.

Lin Zheng's mind went blank for a moment. He wrapped his arms around her waist and returned her kiss.

The two kissed by the edge of the woods. The wind rustled through the leaves, and sunlight filtered through the treetops, casting dappled shadows on the ground.

Qiu Xiuqin slipped her hand inside his shirt and stroked his chest.

Lin Zheng gasped and pressed her against the car door.

"Sister Xiuqin, will anyone be coming here?"

"No." Qiu Xiuqin shook her head and reached out to unbuckle his belt.

Lin Zheng could no longer control himself, picked her up and put her in the back seat.

Qiu Xiuqin slumped in her chair, her long hair loose, her trench coat open, revealing a white shirt and black lace lingerie underneath.

She bit her lip, her eyes alluring.

"Lin Zheng, hurry up..."

Lin Zheng leaned down and kissed her neck.

Qiu Xiuqin tilted her head back, biting her lip tightly, not daring to make a loud sound.

The two were entangled together, and the car swayed slightly.

Just then, Lin Zheng's phone rang.

He froze, took out his phone, and saw that it was Li Zhengang calling.

"Take it," Qiu Xiuqin said softly.

Lin Zheng took a deep breath and answered the phone.

"Manager Lin, are you alright?" Li Zhengang's voice came from inside.

"fine."

"That's good. I heard you were taken to the police station. It gave me a fright."

"Boss Li, what do you want?" Lin Zheng's tone was not very friendly.

When he was taken away last night, Li Zhengang didn't say a word.

Li Zhengang explained, "I found some things."

"I didn't show my face last night because I was investigating secretly."

"What is it?"

"I obtained the surveillance video from the street across from the clubhouse."

"We filmed someone inside who spoke to that woman before you entered the room."

"Who?"

"Wearing a mask and hat, you can't see their faces."

"But I think you should take a look."

Lin Zheng was silent for a moment, then said, "Okay, I'll be there in a bit."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Zheng looked at Qiu Xiuqin.

"Sister Xiuqin, Li Zhengang said that the club's surveillance cameras captured a person."

"Shall we go take a look?"

Qiu Xiuqin sat up and straightened her clothes.

"Walk."

The two got out of the car, and Lin Zheng started the car and drove out of the woods.

The woods were quiet, with only the rustling of leaves in the wind.

The car hadn't gone far when Qiu Xiuqin suddenly spoke.

"Lin Zheng, wait a minute..."

Lin Zheng slammed on the brakes: "What's wrong?"

Qiu Xiuqin clutched her stomach, her face pale.

"My stomach hurts a little..."

Lin Zheng quickly helped Qiu Xiuqin up.

"Sister Xiuqin, what's wrong? Should we go to the hospital?"

Qiu Xiuqin waved her hand, leaned back in her chair, closed her eyes, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

"It's nothing, I probably just didn't sleep well last night and I'm feeling a little unwell."

"Are you sure?" Lin Zheng asked, still uneasy.

Qiu Xiuqin opened her eyes and smiled.

"Don't make a fuss, I'm perfectly healthy."

Lin Zheng looked at her, still somewhat worried.

"How about I take you home to rest first? I'll check the surveillance footage myself."

Qiu Xiuqin shook her head: "I'll go with you."

Are you sure you can handle it?

"We can hold on."

Lin Zheng didn't try to persuade him any further, started the car, and drove towards Li Zhengang's sand field.

The car drove along the country road, with lush green rice paddies on both sides, and occasionally a few egrets flew by.

Qiu Xiuqin leaned back in her chair, closed her eyes, and her breathing gradually calmed down.

Lin Zheng glanced at her every now and then, his heart filled with mixed feelings.

This woman went to the police station early in the morning because of his matter.

I'm not feeling well right now, but I still have to accompany him to watch the surveillance footage.

He kept this kindness in his heart.

After a half-hour drive, we arrived at Li Zhengang's sand field.

Large trucks came and went, kicking up clouds of dust.

Lin Zheng parked the car and helped Qiu Xiuqin out.

"Manager Lin, over here."

Li Zhengang stood at the office door and waved to them.

The two went inside, and Li Zhengang led them to his office on the second floor.

"sit."

Li Zhengang pointed to the sofa and asked, "Tea or water?"

"Water is fine." Lin Zheng helped Qiu Xiuqin sit down.

Li Zhengang poured three glasses of water, sat down behind his desk, and turned on his computer.

"I have the surveillance footage, but I don't know much about it."

He brought up a video file and clicked play.

The scene shows the clubhouse corridor at 8:20 PM.

Lin Zheng watched as he and Xiao Mei entered the room and the door closed.

Then the corridor returned to silence.

A few minutes later, a person appeared on the screen.

He was wearing a black baseball cap and a black face mask, and a dark jacket. He had his head down, so his face was not visible.

The man walked to the door of Lin Zheng's room, stood there for a few seconds, and then turned and left.

"It's him."

Li Zhengang pointed at the screen.

"He spoke to that woman before you went into the room."

"Are you sure?" Lin Zheng frowned.

Li Zhengang nodded and said, "I asked the people at the club, and that woman was someone he invited."

"What's your name?"

"I don't know, and no one at the club has seen him either."

Lin Zheng stared at the screen, zooming in on the image.

But the person was wrapped up so tightly that you couldn't see their face at all.

"Could you zoom in a bit more?" Qiu Xiuqin suddenly asked.

Li Zhengang zoomed in several times, and the image became blurry.

Qiu Xiuqin stared at the screen for a while, then suddenly frowned.

"I feel like I've seen this person before."
