Chapter 213: Helping to Solve the Case

Under pressure from Ling Hanyu, Song Qingtian sidestepped and lay down on his side. Then she rolled over, and Ling Hanyu wrapped his arms around her.

Ling Hanyu tightened his embrace, pressing Song Qingtian firmly against his chest.

Song Qingtian felt uncomfortable and tried to pull away.

But Ling Hanyu had no intention of letting her go.

“Sleep,” he said coldly, leaving no room for argument.

Song Qingtian tried to loosen Ling Hanyu’s grip, but he moved her hand downward and pinned it beneath hers.

“Mr. Ling… we…”

“Call me by my name, or call me ‘husband’—it’s up to you!”

Song Qingtian wanted to turn away, but Ling Hanyu stopped her: “No matter where you come from or what your reasons are, I don’t want to pursue this right now. I can wait until you tell me—but I will not allow you to resist me.”

Song Qingtian pressed her lips together, refusing to speak. She was in an extremely bad mood.

Ling Hanyu tightened his hold: “I’m actually curious—when exactly did Miss Song start changing?”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Just thinking about it made Song Qingtian feel miserable, but she absolutely refused to admit it. After all, there was no evidence.

“Hmph!”

Ling Hanyu chuckled, sat up slightly, and leaned down to nip Song Qingtian’s ear.

Song Qingtian was startled and flinched.

Ling Hanyu lowered his head: “Although I can’t remember what it was like the first time, this certainly isn’t a place she’d be afraid to touch—and besides…”

Song Qingtian pressed her lips together, determined not to say a word.

“And also… you talk in your sleep!”

Song Qingtian froze, then suddenly turned to face Ling Hanyu: “What did I say?”

Ling Hanyu and Song Qingtian locked eyes. Suddenly, Song Qingtian realized that Ling Hanyu had deliberately tricked her.

She turned away, unwilling to speak.

Ling Hanyu rolled over onto his back, and Song Qingtian turned to look at him. Ling Hanyu lifted his dark eyes and stared at her.

The two locked eyes. Song Qingtian tried to turn away, but Ling Hanyu suddenly lunged forward, startling her so much that she frantically waved her hands—but with their daughter nearby, she didn’t dare disturb her.

After only a couple of swats, Song Qingtian gave up struggling.

Ling Hanyu simply got out of bed and carried her into the bathroom.

When they came out of the bathroom, Song Qingtian was a bit tired and immediately burrowed under the covers, ready to sleep.

Ling Hanyu climbed into bed and looked at Song Qingtian: “Why do you like me?”

Song Qingtian forced herself to open her eyes, and just looking at Ling Hanyu’s face made her want to smile.

“Are you having a nightmare, Mr. Ling?”

Ling Hanyu frowned: “Who’s having a nightmare?”

He pinched Song Qingtian’s chin, his eyes growing icy cold.

Song Qingtian wasn’t scared of him at all—she was just exhausted now.

Fine, let him pinch her.

Song Qingtian squinted her eyes and leaned against Ling Hanyu’s waist, wrapping her arms around him.

Ling Hanyu bent down and smiled: “Still want more?”

Song Qingtian grinned: “I’m not a glutton.”

“But if you eat like that, even if you’re not a glutton, you still won’t fill your stomach.”

Song Qingtian turned away, trying to ignore Ling Hanyu.

Ling Hanyu wrapped his arms around her from behind: “Why do you like me?”

Song Qingtian just smiled. She wasn’t really fond of Ling Hanyu—her attraction to him stemmed entirely from her body’s craving for him.

And that craving came from the original female supporting character, not from her own feelings.

She stayed only because of her daughter, Ling Nuonuo.

Someday, she would leave.

For now, though, she didn’t need to rush. What mattered most was dealing with Chen Jianxiu.

Song Qingtian slept for a while and didn’t wake up until the next afternoon—she’d been running around nonstop these past two days and was truly exhausted.

After getting up and grabbing a bite to eat, Song Qingtian immediately turned on the TV.

Sure enough, Chen Jianxiu had been arrested, and the evidence was irrefutable.

Song Haichang, fearing that Chen Jianxiu might make a comeback, used online public opinion to completely bury him.

The relevant authorities not only launched a thorough investigation but also received numerous real-name reports.

As a result, no matter how powerful Chen Jianxiu might be, it would be nearly impossible for him to escape justice.

To protect Bai Ge, Chen Jianxiu even voluntarily confessed that he had used Song Yinyin to force Bai Ge into submission.

This development caused quite a stir.

Song Qingtian watched the news and felt a slight pang of regret that Song Yinyin and her daughter had managed to slip through the cracks. But the real key was resolving the major problem posed by Chen Jianxiu.

Overall, Song Qingtian was satisfied with the outcome, so she was in a good mood.

As she got up from the sofa, Song Qingtian received a phone call from the police station.

After listening for a long while, Song Qingtian finally understood.

It was about the series of incidents that had occurred earlier when Song Yinyin and her group had harmed people at the Imperial Nightclub.

The police had previously been reluctant to enlist Song Qingtian’s help in solving the case, even though she had offered to assist—they believed they could crack it on their own.

But after so much time had passed, they still hadn’t made any progress.

It was only then that the investigation team decided to try reaching out to Song Qingtian.

Upon understanding the situation, Song Qingtian agreed without hesitation.

After hanging up, Song Qingtian prepared to head out and saw Ling Hanyu standing on the second floor, watching her.

Song Qingtian felt embarrassed: “Why aren’t you at work, Mr. Ling?”

Ling Hanyu stared at Song Qingtian with a somber expression: “What do you think?”

“…” How was she supposed to know?
