I slept with my sister's classmate, and she turned out to be my boss.

The next day, early in the morning.

He Ying woke up first.

Chen Dapeng was still fast asleep, his breathing was even and steady.

He Ying noticed that Chen Dapeng's hand was still tightly holding her.

"They even hug each other so tightly while sleeping..."

She smiled and didn't move, afraid of waking him.

Last night, the two of them went wild until late...

They were both exhausted.

"Let him sleep a little longer."

She silently murmured to herself, quietly leaning against Chen Dapeng's chest.

About half an hour later.

Chen Dapeng showed no signs of waking up.

He Ying gently reached for her phone on the bedside table and glanced at it.

It's nine o'clock...

She gently moved Chen Dapeng's hand away and got up first.

I went into the bathroom and turned on the shower.

Warm water flowed over every inch of my skin.

"That feels so good!"

She couldn't help but let out a sigh.

After taking a shower, she stood in front of the mirror and looked at herself.

Only then did she notice several faint hickeys below her collarbone...

You can't see it at all unless you look closely.

"It wasn't even washed off in the shower..."

Last night, Chen Dapeng's love was passionate and profound.

Then it turned into a violent storm...

Her cheeks flushed; she felt a mixture of anger and sweetness.

Wrapped in a bath towel, I stepped out of the bathroom.

At this moment, Chen Dapeng had already gotten up and was sitting on the sofa in the living room.

He Ying came out.

Chen Dapeng turned his head and looked at her.

"Sister Ying..."

"You're awake?"

"Um."

"Go take a shower."

"it is good."

Chen Dapeng stood up and walked towards the bathroom.

As I passed by He Ying.

He reached out and put his arm around her waist, pulling her into his embrace. He took a deep breath, looking completely entranced.

"Sister Ying, you smell so good!"

He Ying chuckled and gently pinched his cheek.

Chen Dapeng's heart stirred, and he kissed her lips.

He Ying was caught off guard.

"Ugh... Ugh... Go take a shower... You smell weird..."

Chen Dapeng felt a little embarrassed.

"Okay, I'll go right away..."

……

Ten minutes later, Chen Dapeng came out of the bathroom.

He Ying had already changed her clothes and was sitting on the sofa.

She wore a light beige dress that accentuated her perfect waistline.

Her hair fell naturally over her shoulders.

She was wearing a pair of light-colored high heels.

Chen Dapeng stood at the bathroom door, stunned.

He Ying chuckled softly as she watched him stare blankly into space.

"What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen me in a skirt before?"

Chen Dapeng was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses: "I...I've never seen you before. Sister Ying, you look so beautiful in this outfit..."

She smiled and stood up.

The hem of her skirt swayed slightly with her movement.

Her entire figure has clean lines yet soft curves, as if she were a completely different person.

"Hurry up and change your clothes. Today, I'm taking you to see Grandpa."

Chen Dapeng nodded: "Okay, just a moment."

A few minutes later.

The two held hands and went out the door.

I had a quick breakfast by the roadside and then took a taxi to the airport.

More than two hours later.

Beijing First People's Hospital.

Grandpa Shen is in much better spirits than last time; he can now sit up and lean against the headboard.

He Ying and Chen Dapeng came in together.

He smiled:

"Here we go again? I'm fine, I don't need to keep coming to the capital."

He Ying walked over and sat down on the edge of the bed:

"Grandpa, please let me stay with you a little longer."

Old Master Shen glanced at Chen Dapeng, then at He Ying, and said with a smile:

"Okay, okay, okay."

He Ying poured him a glass of warm water and handed it to him, tentatively asking:

"Grandpa, is your recent illness related to those rumors?"

Old Master Shen held his water glass but didn't drink it. He remained silent for a while before speaking:

"It's somewhat related."

I know exactly what those people were saying.

But I still think, at my age, I still have to be gossiped about…”

He didn't continue speaking, but He Ying understood.

He Ying held her grandfather's hand:

"Grandpa, those rumors were deliberately spread by someone to undermine the credibility of your testimony."

The more they act this way, the more it proves that your letter was effective.

Old Master Shen looked up at her:

"Yingying, you're right. I've never done anything wrong in my life, and I shouldn't doubt myself just because of what others say."

He paused for a moment, as if he had made a decision.

There's one more thing I haven't said yet.

I wasn't the only one there back then; two of my former colleagues were also present.

One is named Sun Guodong, and the other is named Zhou Dahai.

They should also be able to testify.

He Ying didn't reply immediately, but simply gripped her grandfather's hand tightly:

"Grandpa, would you be willing to contact them?"

Old Master Shen nodded:

"I'll give it a try. They're all old acquaintances; they should still be able to talk to each other."

He Ying quickly advised, "Grandpa, there's no rush. We can talk about it after you're discharged from the hospital."

Old Master Shen shook his head:

"It's alright, I'm fine now."

As he spoke, he picked up his phone from the pillow and dialed Sun Guodong's number.

Sun Guodong is a few years younger than him. After retiring, he lives in the provincial capital. His health is not very good, but his mind is still clear.

The phone rang a few times before being answered.

Old Master Shen didn't waste too much time on pleasantries and got straight to the point:

"Old Sun, there's something I want to ask you—do you still remember that project in the provincial capital ten years ago?"

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone.

"Old Shen, which project are you talking about? The one east of the provincial capital?"

"right."

Sun Guodong paused for a moment, then spoke:

"I remember. Which one specifically are you referring to?"

Mr. Shen briefly recounted the events of that time without embellishing them.

After listening, Sun Guodong remained silent for a while before speaking.

"Old Shen, I remember what you said. It really happened. I can testify to that."

Grandpa Shen didn't say much.

"Okay. Someone might contact you later to verify the situation."

"Okay. You can arrange it."

After hanging up the phone, Grandpa Shen looked at He Ying:

"Sun Guodong agreed."

He Ying nodded: "Grandpa, thank you for your hard work."

then.

Grandpa Shen dialed a second number—Zhou Dahai.

Zhou Dahai is much younger than Grandpa Shen; he was a young cadre in the provincial capital project team back then.

Later, he was transferred to another province.

He has now been promoted to the rank of director-general.

After the call connected, Mr. Shen first inquired about my recent situation, and then slowly steered the conversation towards the events of that year:

"Old Zhou, do you still remember that project in the provincial capital ten years ago?"

Zhou Dahai did not answer immediately, but paused for a moment before speaking:

"Old Shen, that happened so long ago, I'm afraid I don't remember it clearly."

His tone was polite but distant; he neither directly refused nor agreed.

Old Master Shen sensed his hesitation and didn't press him.

"It's okay, take your time to think about it. If you remember, you can contact me anytime."

"Okay, let me see..."

After hanging up the phone, Grandpa Shen placed the phone on the bedside table and sighed softly.

Zhou Dahai neither directly refused nor agreed.

He Ying asked, "What did he say?"

"He said he couldn't remember very clearly. I can understand his concerns. He's currently at the ministerial level, and if he comes forward to testify, it might affect his current situation."

He Ying thought for a moment and said, "Grandpa, I know someone from Zhou Dahai's workplace."

I'll try to pass on a message through someone—not to put pressure on him, but just to let him know that the organization is verifying the relevant information.

Grandpa Shen nodded: "Alright, give it a try."
