114 Look up for the case

"Zhang Cai, what do you mean?" this time Zhao Hongyan revealed a worried look, she faced at the direction of the departed bus, "do you feel something will happen to them?"

"..." Zhang Cai frowned.

She didn't know where this gut-churning feeling suddenly came from, she certainly rested well this night and ate a homemade sandwich, filled with two fried eggs, tomatoes, cucumber, and celery.

She didn't quarrel with her husband before she left the house in the morning.

She had a fight with Naruto earlier, but nowhere she such felt dread like this.

What's going on?

Then she glanced to both woman on her side, their expression hung in worried and confusion, Zhang Cai took a deep breath before settling her eyes on Zhao Hongyan's curved bottom, and she swiftly raised her hand then swinging it down.

*Pa!*

"Kyaa!" the poor phoenix-like eyes lady yelped, feet slightly left the ground as she jumped in shock.

"Why do you take it so seriously? Obviously, I was just kidding, mwahaha!" Zhang Cai put the back of her palm before her lips then laughed brazenly.

Rubbing the plump bottom with both hands, Zhao Hongyan stared begrudgingly at her, "Great, now I miss the quiet you."

"Oh come on, I know you love me anyway~" then she started to cling on her like a butter stick, "by the way, Hongyan, your ass seemed to become more full than before, have your husband give it a quite treatment~? Or... have you gone to treat it specially~?"

"Speaking non-sense!" Zhao Hongyan grunted, then she grabbed her ear and twisted it upward.

"Eow!" the shoulder-length haired woman cringed, she broke free her ear from Zhao Hongyan clutched,taking few steps away from her while huffed, "ooh, such a high temperament, I have to say Hongyan, I think you are quite frustrated today, should you not take care of it, like very soon?"

"Yeah, definitely miss the quite you..."Zhao Hongyan sighed, giving the last look at the disappeared bus then walked toward the lobby again.

Zhang Cai looked at her departing figure then she glanced toward the underground parking lot's exit.

Nah, nothing bad will happen.

With eyes stared at his direction, Naruto carelessly took a seat on the third row from the front, as soon as he placed his bottom, immediately a chunk of meat on his waist grasped by two slender but powerful finger.

"Why do you woman like to do this?" Naruto shook his head in confusion.

"Look at what you did!" Mingyu snorted, the amethyst colored eyes glared cutely at him.

"What did I do?" Naruto tilted his head, his eyebrows wrinkled.

"Good, keep playing dumb, you are intentional, right?" Mingyu puffed her cheek, "Hmph, you confessed in public like that, don't you fear it arrives in your sir wife ears?"

"I already told her, otherwise, why would I dare?" Naruto shrugged, his tone was light.

"Eh?" Mingyu startled, then her expression was somewhat between nervous and excited, "is, is it that mean, she consented our relationship?"

"Well, duh?" Naruto chuckled, he rested his hand atop her head, "don't worry, everything's alright."

Hearing and feeling such an affectionate gesture from him, she became peaceful, then noticing a bunch of pair of eyes which stare at their direction, her face turned red and once again seized the handful of meat from his waist.

Naruto laughed bitterly, he started to think that perhaps women secretly inborn this Martial Arts' technique.

"Told me the truth, did you reject Liu Ruyan's invitation because of this sole reason?" Mingyu said.

"Nope, it just among one of the main reason," Naruto slid the corner of his lips to the right.

"Why? You do realize hooked up with CEO from giant's company like Liu Corp is a dream of every person."

"And apparently not me," Naruto suddenly showed a slight pale expression, his eyes revealed terror intent, "you don't know her as I do, what she really wanted from me is not establishing any connection, but roping me into her company.

Yesterday, when I arrived at her company, she directly handed me a check with six figures on it, telling me that will be my regular salary if I joined her company.

I rejected, then a pretty woman came in, she claimed it was her secretary, but she also handed me a married proposal, said that if I joined her company, she will make me wed that pretty woman,

I also rejected, but right at the moment I was about to leave, she gave me something that made my both knees almost soft..."

Mingyu faced him with a tilted head, her cheek almost pasted into his shoulder.

"She gave me... a bowl of ramen..." Naruto's eyes immediately as if fell into deep recollection, the pupil became enchanted with the past pictured of brownish almost golden soup with yellow noodle.

The purple-orange streak haired woman dropped down her head, luckily she quick to recover, otherwise she would hit his thigh.

"My resistance was at the brink of collapse, In conclusion, she is a terrifying woman..."

"I can't believe she got that much interest on you..." Mingyu sighed as she rubbed her temple, really this fiance of her needed some blow into the head.

You rejected a high salary with no problem.

You rejected to marry a pretty woman with no problem.

But merely a sight of ramen enough to entice you to defect into another company.

Really inconceivable.

"Hey, what can I say, I am very charming~" Naruto slanted his lips.

"Good, I acknowledged that," she rolled her eyes, then said, "did she also know that you can do weird things?"

"Alright, first, what I can do is Jutsu, not weird things, you called it like that make it sounds like I am a freak," Naruto's face became a little displeased.

"But, you do are a freak..."Mingyu innocently smiled, "what kind of a person can climb more than a twenty-floor building without the use of any conventional mean, change into other people appearance, and create of something out of thin air?"

"It's... a freak, fine, point taken..." he snorted, threw his face to the other side.

Mingyu tittered, one hand curled around his left arm, the great front chest stuck onto it, "don't be mad, I am seriously not kidding..."

He bitterly smiled, then pinched her nose.

After a while,Naruto grasped her hand, held it softly as he asking her, "Where do your parent live?"

"North side of Zhong Hai, in the housing complex at the Dongxi District," Mingyu leaned her head to the backrest of the seat.

"Alright, I'll visit them as soon as we complete this task," Naruto nodded.

Mingyu hesitated for a while, then she said: "Don't you want to know what my father did for a living?"

Naruto curled his lips, then said: "Is he a drug dealer?"

"Wha-no!" Mingyu widened her eyes before snapped her eyebrows sharply, she curled her hand and bumped her fist to Naruto's left shoulder, "my father is not a criminal!"

"Hey, I am not saying he is a criminal, an apothecary by all mean also a drug dealer..." Naruto grinned sheepishly.

"Hmph, nice save," Mingyu crinkled her nose.

"So, not a drug dealer..." Naruto crossed his arms before his chest, his face revealed a serious ponder.

"Do you want a clue?" she said in teased tone.

"Nah, he is a mercenary," Naruto shrugged.

"Eh?" this time Mingyu was shocked, disbelieve appeared all over her face, "how can you guess correctly?"

"Oh, I got it right? It was actually among between secret agent or debt collector, but I take a bull by picking mercenary..."

"What makes you think that way?"

"Well, you first was hesitate to tell me, meaning it's not a job that viewed as normal in many people's eyes, is either your father job were dangerous or poor, if someone had a poor job mean they live in a poor house, but base on the current state of your living place, it's impossible for your father to have a poor job, I am not saying you didn't pay the rent on your own, but what kind of a child having a good resident while their parent had a bad one? It does not make any sense.

Also, you know me, if six figures of number didn't catch my eyes, why concern myself with any poor job?

Therefore I concluded your father job was dangerous, but you had stated he is not a criminal, maybe he could be a military officer or such, but based on your... past, I don't think it was possible."

Yes, if Mingyu's father was somewhat an officer in military, and certainly won't have a low rank since Mingyu seemed pretty well-off, Naruto also remembered when he met her while she tried to admit her brother in the hospital which could be grade among one of the expensive hospital ranks in the city, and she should already know the news about that long gone disappeared past boyfriend.

Moreover, a person would not hesitate to tell others if his or her father had a powerful position in the government facility.

"Your father is not a criminal, but his job was dangerous, yet he's not a military officer, therefore I could only conclude your father is either a secret agent, debt collector, or mercenary, I just pick among the three of this, and apparently I got right," Naruto said with a tone akin to a breeze air.

Mingyu had been long in silent, she looked at Naruto as if she just saw a new person.

"Naruto, maybe you should become an investigator in the police department, such your fortune will have a rapid advance," she said with eyes glued into his figure.

"Too bothersome, I don't find comfort within the midst of strict rule and I don't find it amusing to make myself too busy," he scratched his nose, "I prefer a common employee, it has a lot more benefit."

"What more benefit than a standard payment, perhaps a little bonus here and there?" Mingyu couldn't help herself but giggle.

"Well..." he turned his cerulean eyes toward her, the face had a slight but soothing smile, "I met you, didn't I?"

Then Mingyu had thoroughly become speechless, her mouth parched a little and eyes slowly went blurred.

Although she had heard many compliment and poetic words, never a simple sentence like that could frame her motion and caught her heart was beating fast.

A long time passed, she finally regained her bearing, smile beautifully at the person before her, "your lips truly sweet, no wonder you have many lovers."

"I know right, what a troublesome gift~" Naruto grinned as he scrubbed his hair.

"Oh, shut up," she slapped his shoulder then pasted her side of the body into his, skin to skin intertwined in the warm atmosphere.

As the bus carried them into the far destination, Mingyu slowly closed her eyes while hoped this moment, could last for eternity.

Mo Qianni followed Ruoxi back to her office, they passed Wu Yue's desk, recognizing each other before continued passed through her gate.

"Wu Yue, give me 10 minutes of privacy with Ms. Mo," Ruoxi said through her intercom.

"Yes, president," Wu Yue's cold voice came through the speaker.

Ruoxi walked away from her desk, the slender waist swayed side to side as she approached the window of her office, overlooking the bustling situation in the city.

"Ruoxi, how should we handle this situation?" Qianni opened her mouth after a brief time of silence had passed.

"..." Ruoxi crossed her arms below her chest, the Peerless beautiful face expressed a deep thought.

A couple of seconds later.

"Qianni, do you remember the event of burning hospital last year?"

"Yes, I did, it's a huge incident after all."

Ruoxi turned her body, face-to-face said to Qianni, "I want you to dig up the case."
