The Reluctant Bride Book I Chapter 19.20

Buns.

‘Do you want me to be childless?’ Gu Jiao Wen asked.

Tan Pan Ting b.u.mped her nosed on Gu Jiao Wen’s concrete chest and she cried out. She jumped up, hit her head on his chin, and made her teeth bite her tongue. But her failure to kick him in the b.a.l.l.s hurt more than her pain.

Tan Pan Ting was about to fall on her way down, she grabbed Gu Jiao Wen’s shirt to keep herself up. But her back hit the floor, and Gu Jiao Wu’s concrete body fell on top of her soft body.

Gu Jiao Wen felt his hands landed on something soft as buns, and his lips landed on Tan Pan Ting’s lips, he tasted a bit of her blood.

The door opened. Shi Tu witnessed a rare sight. Gu Jiao Wen was lying on top of a woman, and kissing a woman in the interrogation room.

‘Boss… I’m sorry… I should have knocked… continue,’ Shi Tu said.

Shi Tu quickly left, and closed the door.

‘Get off me you MF,’ Tan Pan Ting said.

Gu Jiao Wen pulled Tan Pan Ting up with him. They were both embarra.s.sed his hands touched her b.r.e.a.s.t.s, and he accidently kissed her. She wiped her lips, and a bit of blood was smeared to the corner of her lips.

‘Let me out of here,’ Tan Pan Ting said. ‘You have no right to keep me here.’

‘You a.s.saulting a cop on duty is enough to lock you up for half a month,’ Gu Jiao Wen said.

‘It’s self-defence,’ Tan Pan Ting protested. ‘I haven’t committed a crime, but I’m being detained unfairly. So it’s not wrong for me to defend myself even against a cop.’

Gu Jiao Wen unlocked on of Tan Pan Ting’s hand cuffs then he cuffed her momentarily free hand to the chair. He put the key in his pocket, and walked out the room like he wasn’t attracted to Tan Pan Ting.

Gu Jiao Wen returned to his office. He had a mountain of paper work to do.

Shi Tu knocked on Gu Jiao Wen’s office door.

‘Boss, the men’s lawyers are here with their bail money,’ Shi Tu said.

‘Don’t accept their bail money,’ Gu Jiao Wen said. ‘Keep them locked up for a half a month.’

‘Boss, isn’t it a policy if someone pays their bail then they can leave unless they’re charged with a serious offence?’ Shi Tu asked.

‘Attempting to gang rape someone is reason enough to lock them up for half a month,’ Gu Jiao Wen said coldly.

‘Boss, are you and Miss Tan friends or lovers…’ Shi Tu asked and quickly retreated out of Gu Jiao Wen’s office.

Shi Tu both respected and was scared of Gu Jiao Wen. He didn’t want to die of curiosity.

Gu Jiao Wen worked through the paper work. His mind was on the unsolved drug case. Although 5kg of ecstasy pills weren’t a small loss, he knew the drug lord had a lot more drugs hidden somewhere.

The next time Gu Jiao Wen looked at his watch, it was ten at night. He realised why he felt hungry. When he left the police station to buy a late dinner, he remembered he had forgotten something.

‘Let me out…’ Tan Pan Ting said in a hoa.r.s.e voice.

Tan Pan Ting wasted her energy vainly. She couldn’t believe she was the victim, but she was detained again. Even a criminal deserved to be treated humanely. Why didn’t the MF cops give her anything to eat or drink?

Suddenly the door opened, the lights turned and someone entered the interrogation room that Tan Pan Ting was locked in.
