Chapter 651 — Can That Really Be a Breakthrough?
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
Qiu Lingshan was rather vexed. If she went out in this state and the members of her police team saw her, she would lose every shred of dignity!
"Hey, where are you going? Lend me your shirt, would you?" When Qiu Lingshan spoke to Wei Zhao, her tone simply would not harden. This was not her nature at all—but there was no help for it. In Wei Zhao's presence she had already been conditioned to react on reflex, and so she was as gentle as gentle could be...
"There's a pinhole camera here. If you don't want the footage from just now to get out, you'd better put it away." Wei Zhao tossed a small black device to Qiu Lingshan. It was a miniature recorder with onboard storage; it wasn't networked to any other cameras, so there was no need to worry that the contents had already leaked.
Qiu Lingshan was briefly taken aback. She caught what Wei Zhao had thrown, her face flushing a little, yet as though possessed she heard herself say, "You're not staying to enjoy it in secret?"
"Heh..." Wei Zhao smiled faintly, feeling that Qiu Lingshan was pushing her luck. He strode up to her, reached out and tilted up her chin—a very flirtatious gesture, bordering on teasing. "Do you really want me to enjoy it?"
Qiu Lingshan raised an eyebrow. She wanted to resist, but was startled to find that she did not recoil from being teased this way. Could she have masochistic tendencies? The corner of her mouth lifted slightly. "If you want to enjoy it, the brainless girl can give you a live performance anytime—just like before..."
Qiu Lingshan had meant it as an angry retort, but once the words were out they felt unaccountably liberating, as though she actually enjoyed doing this... And in truth, did she? Even Qiu Lingshan could not say clearly. All she knew was that it was a strange and wondrous feeling, one that left her a little bewildered.
What a vixen. Shen Yushu had been absolutely right. Wei Zhao hurriedly released Qiu Lingshan's chin. Though the woman was a little reckless, when she turned coquettish she was hardly ordinary.
"This is the kidney-harvesting ring's headquarters. I've done everything I needed to do. You can handle the rest yourself, right?" Wei Zhao was feeling somewhat uncomfortable thanks to Qiu Lingshan. He had, after all, inhaled some of the aphrodisiac to a greater or lesser degree. Did this girl not realize she was doing something very dangerous? Did she not know that even if he did take her, it would be for nothing?
"There's no signal on my phone here. Take me out, would you?" Qiu Lingshan caught hold of Wei Zhao and swung his arm back and forth like a spoiled little girl.
"Is that so? I hadn't noticed." Wei Zhao instinctively reached for the phone in his pocket, but what he found was An Liwen's phone—a very unusual phone, something like a walkie-talkie. Wei Zhao had seen phones like this before, though. It was probably a special handset made for internal use, operating on an internal wireless band; it could make normal calls on normal numbers, but the SIM card was installed on a server, and the handset itself was like a terminal for a cordless phone...
"What kind of phone is this? A walkie-talkie?" Qiu Lingshan stared curiously at the thing in Wei Zhao's hand.
Wei Zhao was about to explain when the special phone in his hand began to ring... He glanced at the caller ID. He didn't recognize the name; it was probably one of An Liwen's subordinates. Wei Zhao casually pressed the hang-up key, then handed the phone to Qiu Lingshan. "Call your people. This is their internal special phone; it should be able to dial outside lines directly."
Qiu Lingshan nodded without saying much, took the phone and dialed a number. Sure enough, it went through!
