Chapter 48 - 48 Tempted

48 Tempted

Yin Tao felt that her neck was a little sore, so she changed her posture and gently hugged something beside her.

Yin Tao felt that she was sleeping peacefully when she suddenly realized that she was still in the police station.

She woke up with a jerk, looked at the ‘thing’ in her arms and realized that it was Feng Jing’s arm.

“I’m sorry!” Yin Tao quickly stepped back. She then realized that she had fallen asleep while leaning on Feng Jing’s shoulder and was hugging his arm.

Feng Jing moved his stiff body. Yin Tao had slept for about half an hour and that meant that he had been a pillow for half an hour.

“You’ve worked hard recently. You have to rest well.” Feng Jing knew that Yin Tao was also very concerned about the case.

“Alright!” Yin Tao had completely sobered up, but for some unknown reason, her heart was beating exceptionally fast.

“Why were you looking for me?” Feng Jing asked when he saw that Yin Tao had woken up.

“Well, Master found some omissions. This is the new report.” Yin Tao handed the report to Feng Jing and sat beside him without saying anything.

Feng Jing looked at the report again and saw the problem. “It seems that we are heading in the right direction. Sun Peng is very suspicious. As long as we focus on investigating him, we will definitely find new clues.”

“Have you not eaten yet? Do you want to go out and eat something?” Feng Jing looked at the time. The canteen was already closed. It was a little dangerous for Yin Tao to go out alone.

“No need, I’m not hungry…” Before Yin Tao could finish speaking, her stomach rumbled. It wasn’t loud, but it was especially clear in the empty meeting room.

Yin Tao clutched her stomach, hating herself for letting herself down, and embarrassing herself in front of Feng Jing.

“Let’s go and eat something nearby.” Feng Jing opened the door and Yin Tao followed behind him.

The sky outside had already turned completely dark. Yin Tao followed by Feng Jing’s side without saying a word.

“Doesn’t your family support your work?” Feng Jing looked at Yin Tao with her head lowered and thought that she had something on her mind.

“As long as I like it, that’s all that matters. My older brother said that he would support me.” Yin Tao wasn’t expecting her family to understand her. However, Yin Hao was very concerned about her and would call her whenever he was free.

“Yin Hao is a good person. Although he has the temperament of a businessman, he is still very upright.” Feng Jing’s evaluation of Yin Hao was very pertinent. After all, they had known each other for a long time, and Feng Jing knew Yin Hao’s character very well.

“This is the first time I’ve heard you evaluate someone.” Yin Tao felt that Feng Jing’s serious expression was very amusing, so she jokingly asked, “Then what kind of person do you think I am?”

When Yin Tao didn’t hear Feng Jing’s reply, she raised her head and looked at him. However, she noticed that his expression was serious as if he was deep in thought.

Yin Tao was just about to say that she was joking when she heard Feng Jing slowly say, “You’re a very special girl. You’re bold and meticulous, and your ability is outstanding. You can be trusted.”

When Yin Tao heard Feng Jing’s evaluation, she didn’t know how she should react. It was precisely because of Feng Jing’s serious tone that Yin Tao couldn’t joke around.

“Thank you. I didn’t expect you to have such a high opinion of me.” Yin Tao smiled. Suddenly, she heard a familiar female voice.

“Xiaotao?” Yin Ning didn’t expect to meet Yin Tao here. Moreover, Feng Jing was beside her.

“Feng Jing, why are you with Little Sister Xiaotao?” Jin Chen saw Yin Tao and Feng Jing standing together and was curious about their relationship.

When Yin Tao saw Xi Feng and Jin Chen beside Yin Ning, she wanted to leave. After all, this was an occasion where the male and female leads were in the same frame. It was better for a little cannon fodder like her to stay away.

“Work was completed, so we are having a meal together.” Feng Jing didn’t feel awkward at all. It was as if he should have appeared together with Yin Tao.

Xi Feng looked at Yin Tao and Feng Jing and said enthusiastically, “Let’s eat together. We were also going to eat.”

Feng Jing looked at Yin Tao on his side, as if he was asking for her opinion.

“Then let’s go together…” Yin Tao was unwilling in her heart, but there was nothing she could do. Everyone was looking at her, so how could she refuse?

Feng Jing and Yin Tao walked behind Xi Feng’s group. Yin Tao didn’t say a word and only hoped that her presence would be visible.

“This hotpot restaurant is not bad. It’s a new chain restaurant opened by Zhuo Jin. Let’s go together. It is also a form of support.” Xi Feng stood at the entrance of a well-decorated hotpot restaurant and sought everyone’s opinion.

“This one then. I’m hungry.” Jin Chen walked straight in.

Yin Tao had no impression of the name Zhuo Jin. It didn’t seem to have been mentioned in the novel. It was unlikely to be an important character. However, it seemed that Feng Jing and Jin Chen knew this person.
