The two women grabbed the quilt and covered their bodies.

Even for Qu Xiangru, experiencing something like this was difficult to remain calm.

Song Guanchao only said one sentence and then fell silent.

He wanted to give the two women some time to calm down.

Qu Xiangru was the first to regain her composure and asked, "Were we drugged?"

"Yes." Song Guanchao replied, "Zhang Yan's secretary tricked me into leaving, then drugged you both. I sensed something was wrong and rushed back immediately."

"Was there anyone else in the room when you returned?" This was Wu Qiangwei asking, her tone a bit tense.

"No one."

Song Guanchao said, "I was gone and back in less than half an hour. By the time I entered, you were already like this. They might have arranged for some men, but they shouldn't have arrived yet."

He took out a memory card: "I found a hidden camera in the room; this is the memory card."

Upon hearing this, the two women breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Song Guanchao sensed something was wrong, otherwise, they didn't dare imagine what could have happened tonight.

Qu Xiangru's face turned cold; she hadn't expected Zhang Yan to do such a thing.

She thought they were going to negotiate tonight, but it didn't happen. Instead, she was dealt with a dirty hand.

"Where is this place?" Wu Qiangwei asked.

"An abandoned villa on the outskirts of the city."

"Why not go home?"

Song Guanchao was silent for a few seconds before he said, "Zhang Yan and Luo Sanming are targeting not just you both, but also me."

"There's a large sum of cash and a corpse at my home."

"What?"

The two women's expressions changed instantly.

Wu Qiangwei said, "This is a setup; you were with us tonight, and I and Secretary Qu can testify for you!"

Song Guanchao shook his head: "Everyone knows it's a setup, but that's useless."

"Since they used this method to frame me, my fingerprints must be at the scene. In every way, it's unfavorable to me. Moreover, who knows how long that corpse has been dead. Even if I have an alibi for tonight, what about yesterday, the day before... or even earlier?"

What she could think of, Song Guanchao had also considered.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen to hide.

Because he couldn't afford to wait for the police to investigate step by step.

That would be too slow.

"Get some rest first."

Song Guanchao grabbed the quilt and pulled it over them again.

Just as he was about to stand up, Wu Qiangwei grabbed him: "What are you planning?"

"Solve the case." Song Guanchao's tone was very calm: "I won't turn myself in; I'm going to find the real killer."

Wu Qiangwei pursed her lips and after a few seconds, said, "Doing this, you'll be wanted."

Song Guanchao asked, "Does the secretary have a better plan?"

Wu Qiangwei was speechless.

"Come in and talk." Qu Xiangru suddenly said.

Both looked at her simultaneously.

Come in and talk?

What did she mean?

Qu Xiangru moved aside a little, leaving a bit of space in the middle.

Both understood her meaning immediately. Just as Wu Qiangwei was about to speak, Qu Xiangru said, "You're wearing too little, come in and talk."

The words on Wu Qiangwei's lips were swallowed back, and she remained silent.

Qu Xiangru said, "Are you worried he'll do something to you? If he really had such thoughts, he had the best chance just now. Ha, he's your secretary, yet you don't trust him."

Wu Qiangwei angrily glared at her, feeling that Qu Xiangru was deliberately sowing discord between her and Song Guanchao.

She didn't distrust Song Guanchao but thought Qu Xiangru was being too forward.

She was afraid that once Song Guanchao came in, Qu Xiangru would furtively make a move.

Song Guanchao also sensed the sparks between the two women and hurriedly said, "I don't need..."

"Come in!" Wu Qiangwei interrupted him, using a commanding tone to make him come in.

"Secretary, I..."

"Come in!"

"Well, alright then."

Song Guanchao hesitated as he crawled over. Just as he was about to come in, Qu Xiangru said, "You're dirty. Take off your trousers."

Song Guanchao stopped again and looked at Wu Qiangwei.

Although there was no light, Song Guanchao could still sense that Wu Qiangwei's face must be sullen at the moment.

"Take them off," Wu Qiangwei said.

"Oh."

Song Guanchao obediently took off his trousers and crawled in.

Indeed, it was warm under the covers.

However, just as he lay down, Qu Xiangru's hand quickly reached over and slipped into his underwear, grabbing him.

Song Guanchao shuddered all over, but he didn't dare show it, trying his best to appear normal.

Wu Qiangwei didn't know what Qu Xiangru and he were doing, just that she felt a little uneasy.

After all, she was stark naked, so close to Song Guanchao that her arm could touch him.

She couldn't help but recall the events of the previous nights.

Coupled with the lingering effects of the drugs in her body, she felt a little hot all over, with moisture between her legs still from the earlier entanglement with Qu Xiangru.

"How do you plan to investigate?" Wu Qiangwei tried to distract herself with the topic.

Song Guanchao was enjoying Qu Xiangru's gentle caresses. When he heard her question, his mood dampened a bit: "I don't have any leads for now."

The incident happened so suddenly, and the other side was well-prepared. Turning the situation around would be difficult.

Not only required time but also reliable people to investigate the case.

Wu Qiangwei said, "I'll contact the Provincial City tomorrow and have them set up a special team at the provincial office."

"No." Song Guanchao immediately rejected her suggestion.

"Why?"

"I don't trust the people in the province."

Song Guanchao said, "If possible, it would be best to have Liang Jianfeng investigate."

It wasn't that he distrusted the provincial office, but he was worried Secretary Tian might take the opportunity to create trouble.

In the last fraud case, Secretary Tian had warned him not to get involved. He had defied Secretary Tian.

With the current case so unfavorable to him, if it were handed over to the provincial office, there was no guarantee Secretary Tian wouldn't interfere and stab him in the back.

The only reliable person in the city was Captain Shi, but his capacity and manpower were limited.

If Liang Jianfeng could step in and investigate, there might still be some hope.

Wu Qiangwei said, "Mayor Liang is currently responsible for the Provincial City, and in principle, he can't intervene in cases in Lingjiang."

Qu Xiangru said, "I'll make arrangements to dispatch him."

Wu Qiangwei fell silent, suddenly feeling a bit useless.

With Song Guanchao stuck in a predicament, she couldn't help him, but Qu Xiangru could resolve the situation.

Qu Xiangru said, "Don't use your phone during this period."

"Alright, I've already changed phones."

Song Guanchao said, "Tomorrow, I will send you my new number, and we will use this phone to keep in touch from now on."

"Be careful of Luo Sanming. I suspect they might continue to target you."

The two women both hummed in agreement, not worried about this.

They only had one such opportunity.

Having failed this time, the women wouldn't give them a second chance.

"Get some rest," Song Guanchao's tone was a little weary.

Everything that happened tonight had kept him tense.

Now that he was relaxing, he felt very tired.

The two women also sensed it. Even someone as usually aloof as Qu Xiangru was showing a warmer side, not deliberately making things difficult for him in front of Wu Qiangwei, but silently comforting him with her small hands, allowing him to relax.
