The pushover offended a top-tier boss

That evening, hundreds of thermal imaging drones were deployed over Linxian County.

Military helicopters, civilian helicopters, and even rescue aircraft urgently dispatched from a neighboring city roared through the night sky.

Under the banana leaves.

Ye Zhenzhen and Lin Zhi huddled deep within the bushes.

The mosquitoes here are terrifyingly numerous, buzzing around them and leaving a large welt with every bite.

"Zhizhi, I'm so scared..." Ye Zhenzhen's voice trembled.

Lin Zhi held her tightly. She was scared too, but she tried her best to stay calm.

"Don't worry, let's chat for a while."

Do you remember the first time we met?

Ye Zhenzhen nodded: "Yeah. Back then, I was being bullied by some delinquent girls at school, and you were so brave, you just rushed up and stood in front of me."

"I remember your hair was ripped and your face was bruised, but you just stood in front of me with your eyes wide open, not afraid at all."

"Actually, my legs were shaking," Lin Zhi said. "I just couldn't stand seeing others bully people."

"Back then, everyone in the class ostracized me, and you were the only one who became my friend." Lin Zhi's voice lowered.

"They're just jealous of how good-looking you are," Ye Zhenzhen said, leaning on Lin Zhi's shoulder.

Lin Zhi chuckled softly, "Zhenzhen, you're like a little sun. Anyone who's with you is always so happy."

She added, a hint of teasing in her voice, "Don't let his stern face fool you, he's actually enjoying himself. You can tell he spoils you a lot."

Ye Zhenzhen blushed: "Where is it...?"

"You're just a lucky fool," Lin Zhi said confidently.

Her gaze fell on the two red marks on Ye Zhenzhen's knees. After a two-second silence, she added quietly, "But who said old men don't know how to change their moves? I think they're quite adept at it."

Ye Zhenzhen's face instantly flushed red: "Oh, please don't talk about me like that!"

She quickly changed the subject, "Why did you change hotels yesterday?"

Lin Zhi covered his face with his hands, his voice muffled as it came through his fingers: "Sigh, I mistook the boss for a male prostitute... so I ran away in the middle of the night..."

However, Lin Zhi now has to thank last night for his absurdity.

She caught a cold in the middle of the night, which meant she didn't inhale much of the sleeping potion. Otherwise, she would probably still be asleep with Ye Zhenzhen, probably sold off somewhere.

Ye Zhenzhen froze for a second: "Oh my god..."

Forget about being a secretary by day and a mistress by night; her best friend is the real master. Slacking off by day and hooking up with the boss by night—that's true time management genius.

"How was President Chen's performance? How was the equipment? How long did it last?" Ye Zhenzhen's gossip spirit was burning brightly, and for a moment she even forgot her fear.

Lin Zhi scratched his head in frustration: "His skills aren't great, he just has a lot of energy."

Just as Ye Zhenzhen was about to ask more questions, a buzzing sound suddenly came from above her head.

The two of them looked up at the same time.

Under the moonlight, a small drone hovered in mid-air, its red indicator light flashing, like a giant eye staring at them.

"No... they're here to arrest us, aren't they?" Ye Zhenzhen's voice began to tremble again.

"Report! The drone has detected two targets; coordinates have been determined!"

The sound from the walkie-talkie exploded in the roaring helicopter cabin.

Zhou Huaijin sat in the passenger seat, his hand gripping the walkie-talkie tightly. His face was hidden in the shadows of the night, making his expression impossible to see, but Chen Yu, sitting next to him, could see that his hand was trembling.

"Initiate the rescue immediately." Zhou Huaijin's voice was deep and steady, each word seemingly forced from his chest. "Turn on the searchlights and hover at low altitude."

"receive!"

The helicopter roared as it descended. Searchlights switched on, their white beams sweeping across the area and tearing a slit in the night.

Ye Zhenzhen and Lin Zhi huddled in the bushes, their eyes stinging from the bright light.

But Lin Zhi saw the large characters on the fuselage: "China Rescue".

"There are Chinese characters on the helicopter, it's for military use!" Lin Zhi exclaimed excitedly, hugging Ye Zhenzhen.

"Zhenzhen, she's here to save us!"

Ye Zhenzhen's tears welled up instantly.

She crawled out of the bushes, stumbled to the roadside, turned on her phone's flashlight, and waved it frantically. Lin Zhiye followed behind her, also holding her phone, like two fireflies desperately trying to glow in the dark.

The helicopter slowly landed on the road, its rotors still spinning, the wind pressure making their hair fly everywhere.

The hatch opened, and two tall men jumped out.

When Ye Zhenzhen saw that figure, she could no longer hold back her tears.

His dark shirt clung to his body in the wind, his expression was stern, his lips were tightly pressed together, and he strode towards her.

She suddenly thought of that night in Nan Jing's life. The same despair, the same unexpected salvation.

She rushed over, threw herself into his arms, wrapped her arms tightly around his waist, buried her face in his chest, and couldn't help but sob.

"It's all your fault!" Her voice was muffled in his arms, both fierce and aggrieved. "Why didn't you come with me!"

He placed his large hand on the back of her head, his fingers running through her disheveled hair, gently stroking it again and again.

After a long while, a deep voice came down from above, with a hint of hoarseness that was barely perceptible.

"Yes, it's my fault."

Ye Zhenzhen cried even harder, wiping her snot and tears all over his shirt.

"Okay, it's alright now." He tightened his arms, pulling her into a tight embrace.

Fang Chang breathed a long sigh of relief.

Ye Zhenzhen cried for a long time before finally raising her head, sobbing.

She suddenly remembered something and turned her head sharply: "Where's Zhizhi?"

The moment she turned around, she was completely stunned.

Chen Yu was pressing Lin Zhi against a large tree by the roadside, kissing her passionately.

"Oh my god!" Ye Zhenzhen's eyes widened. "He...he...they..."

He turned her head with his large hand and flipped her face back.

"Don't look around."

Ye Zhenzhen was pressed against his chest, her view completely blocked. But her gossipy heart was already jumping around like a badger in a melon patch, unable to stop.

After surviving a near-death experience, a passionate kiss followed – how romantic!

She glanced furtively in the direction of the two people, then at the stern-faced man in front of her.

Why don't older men understand these things?
