Looking at the king-sized bed in front of him, Liu Ergou fell into deep thought. If Yang i weren't here, it would be natural for him and Feng Chunling to share the bed. But now that she was here…
Beside him, Feng Chunling also wore a surprised expression upon seeing the large bed. As for Yang i, her face was scarlet with embarrassnt.
Observing their reactions, Liu Ergou sighed. "Ah, what a ss," he muttered. "I'm going to book another room now."
With that, he prepared to take his ID to the front desk. However, when Liu Ergou reached into his pocket, he realized he hadn't brought it with him. He was instantly dumbfounded.
"Ah, where's my ID?!"
Patting his empty pockets, despair filled his face. After a thorough search, Liu Ergou finally realized that his ID card had been at ho all along. He had never brought it with him. The hotel room had been booked using Feng Chunling's ID.
Helpless, Liu Ergou turned to Yang i. "Yang i, where's your ID? Go book a room for ."
Yang i nodded and reached for her ID card, only to co up empty as well.
"Er Gou, it seems I didn't bring my ID either," Yang i said awkwardly.
Seeing the situation, Liu Ergou shook his head in frustration. "TSK, what do we do now?" he mumbled, stroking his chin.
Just then, his eyes caught sight of the sofa nearby and lit up. "Alright, here's the plan. I'll sleep on the sofa tonight. It's big enough, anyway. You two take the bed!"
Having said that, Liu Ergou plopped down on the sofa, ready to rest.
When Feng Chunling heard Liu Ergou was going to sleep on the sofa, she imdiately protested. "No, no, that won't do! You've helped so much, I can't let you sleep on the sofa. It's just not right!"
Liu Ergou shrugged. "Auntie, what do you suggest then? You don't expect to sleep on the floor, do you? If that's the choice, I'd much rather take the sofa!"
That one remark left Feng Chunling speechless. After a silence that lasted nearly a minute, she finally spoke up. "How about this? You and Yang i sleep on the bed, and I'll take the sofa. You two are going to be a couple sooner or later anyway, so it's no big deal to sleep together a bit early. Just think of it as getting familiar with each other!"
As soon as she said this, Yang i, who had just taken a sip of water, sprayed it everywhere.
"Mom! What nonsense are you talking about?!" Yang i exclaid, her face flushing with embarrassnt. "What do you an 'getting familiar'? Who does that?!"
Liu Ergou also felt it was inappropriate and hurriedly refused. "No, no, Auntie, please stop joking. I've never heard of such a thing in my life!"
Seeing them both refuse, Feng Chunling was at a loss. "Then… what do we do…"
Looking at her troubled expression, Liu Ergou sighed helplessly. "Alright, how about this? The bed is plenty big, so it won't be a squeeze for three people. We'll all just share. That's the only solution; otherwise, I'm sleeping on the sofa."
Hearing his proposal, Feng Chunling hesitated for a mont before nodding in agreent.
Soon, the three of them were lying in bed. Feng Chunling was in the middle, with Liu Ergou and Yang i on either side. The bed was large enough that they weren't cramped at all; there was even space to spare.
Even so, Liu Ergou felt incredibly uncomfortable. I'm lying right next to Feng Chunling, and I'm all too familiar with her charms. Being in the sa bed but unable to make a move… this is torture. Besides, with such a serious matter at hand, it's completely out of line to be thinking about such things.
Frustrated, Liu Ergou could only force himself to close his eyes. He wasn't sure how much ti had passed before he finally drifted off into a restless sleep.
When Liu Ergou awoke, it was already the next morning. Feng Chunling and Yang i were already up and had even brought him back so breakfast.
After they ate and got ready, Liu Ergou headed to Han Jiajia's ho alone. A short while later, he arrived downstairs at her apartnt complex. He made a phone call and waited for a mont.
Han Jiajia, wearing pajamas and looking sleepy, ca downstairs. She walked right over, opened the passenger door of Liu Ergou's car, and got in.
Yawning, she grumbled, "Ugh, my life is so hard. I'm supposed to have a month off, but I can't even get a few days to sleep in. This is miserable!"
"Jia Jia, this is a special situation. Please bear with and put in a little overti," Liu Ergou said quickly. "Once it's all over, I'll treat you to a al. You can pick any restaurant in the city—we'll go to the most expensive one!"
Han Jiajia rolled her eyes. "Easier said than done. But speaking of which, after we parted ways yesterday, I went to the police station and told my colleagues about this.
"They agreed it was suspicious and have started a new investigation. They even gathered so evidence last night proving that the deceased was murdered, not that it was an accident."
Hearing this, Liu Ergou's eyes lit up. "That's great! I just wonder…"
Before he could finish, Han Jiajia cut him off. "Alright, don't ask any more questions. You know there are so things I can't just say. It would be a disciplinary violation. You just need to know that your suspicions were correct."
Seeing that Han Jiajia wouldn't say more, Liu Ergou didn't press the issue. After watching her go back upstairs, he drove away.
Now that the matter regarding Yang i's father was being handled, it was ti to discuss compensation. After all, for such a major incident, a re 50,000 yuan seed rather pathetic…
Mulling it over, Liu Ergou returned to the hotel, where he picked up Yang i and Feng Chunling and headed straight for the construction site.
Upon arriving, Liu Ergou explained their purpose, and a security guard led the three of them to the site manager.
When the manager saw them, he didn't waste any ti and pulled out a bank card. "I know what you're here for.
"But I'll say this upfront: the death was certainly not our fault.
"Whether it was homicide or an accident, it has nothing to do with this construction site.
"Of course, even if there is a connection, it's minimal.
"We have already done more than our duty. Take this 40,000 yuan."
The mont Liu Ergou heard this, he wanted to argue the point with the manager. But before he could speak, he noticed sothing was amiss.
