Chapter 827: Yuehua’s secret?

Morning.

Outside of the District Party Secretary’s office.

Dong Xuebing looked at Zhu Zhu and Fei Fan. “Xiao Zhu, Secretary He had given us the latest order. Go check with the bank and report to me if you have any information.”

“Yes, I know.”

“Xiao Fei, check Zhang Huo’s relatives and see if any of them had transferred money to Secretary Geng.”

“Yes. I will do it now.”

“Go now. Call me if you encounter any difficulties.”

“Ok. Director, we will go now.”

“Yes. Remember to watch out for your safety, and be alert.”

They left, and Dong Xuebing knocked on Geng Yuehua’s office. He entered before she could answer. He would never do this in the past, but he holds a different position now. Furthermore, Geng Yuehua and he were not strangers, and they had been in bed twice.

Other than Geng Yuehua, her secretary, Ma Jian, was around. They seemed to be discussing work.

Geng Yuehua was wearing white pants and a black wool sweater today.

Dong Xuebing had not met her for more than a month, and he missed her.

Ma Jian was surprised by Dong Xuebing’s appearance.

Geng Yuehua still had her signature unapproachable face. She saw Dong Xuebing and extended her hand. “Director Dong.”

Dong Xuebing closed the door behind him and shook her hand. “Hi, Secretary Geng.”

Geng Yuehua pointed to the chair in front of her. “Have a seat. What brings the City Commission for Discipline Inspection Leader here?”

Dong Xuebing replied. “You should have heard of it. It is about two million RMB in your Construction Bank account.”

Geng Yuehua nodded. “I had handed the bankbook to the District Commission for Discipline Inspection and submitted a report.”

“I know.”  Dong Xuebing calmly replied. “I am here to invite you to assist us with investigating the money source. Of course, we are not suspecting you as you had reported to the Discipline Inspection once you knew about this. We believe you had nothing to do with this. This investigation targets the money source. We want to know who transferred this amount of money to you and who is trying to frame you. The City Commission for Discipline Inspection Secretary He had instructed me to find the culprit as soon as possible. That’s why I hope Nan Shan District and you can assist us.” He told her she was fine now, and the investigation target was the person behind this.

Geng Yuehua nodded. “We will assist. Do you all have any suspect in mind?”

“We suspect it is Zhang Huo. What do you think?”

“It’s possible, but we don’t have evidence.”

“Then we will look into this direction. It is my job to look for evidence.”

Ma Jian excused herself. “Secretary Geng, I will go back to work.”

Geng Yuehua looked at her. “Keep what you heard earlier to yourself.”

“Yes.” Ma Jian quickly left the office and closed the door.

After she left, Dong Xuebing smiled. “We finished talking about work. Let’s talk about personal matters. How are you recently?”

Geng Yuehua covered her mouth and coughed a few times. She wiped her mouth with a handkerchief. “I’m fine.”

Dong Xuebing replied worryingly. “You had been coughing for months. You should visit the doctor.”

“I said I was fine.” Geng Yuehua drank her tea and put the teacup down.

Dong Xuebing got up from the chair and walked over to Geng Yuehua. He sat on her desk. “Look at you. You dislike whatever I say.”

Geng Yuehua frowned and did not reply.

Dong Xuebing knew Geng Yuehua well and talked about something else. “I heard your brother has a son and will be getting married to Lin Pingping soon.”

Geng Yuehua nodded.

Dong Xuebing continued. “Pingping had worked under me for some time, and I know her well. She is a good person.”

“Yes.”

“They had broken up for many years. Why did Pingping agree to get married?”

“I met her personally. It was Xinke who had let her down.”

“You went to meet her? Why did you interfere in their affairs?”

“I am his sister. Why can’t I interfere?”

“Huh? I don’t mean that.”

“How can they not get married when they have a child?”

“I realized we have nothing in common.” Dong Xuebing replied.

Geng Yuehua looked at Dong Xuebing. “Thanks for telling me about my bank account.”

Dong Xuebing felt slightly embarrassed. “Err…. It’s nothing. There’s nothing to thank.” He paused for a second and continued. “Basically, you are not suspected now, and we just need to find the person behind this.”

Geng Yuehua thought for a while. “I suggest you check on Zhang Biao. He is Zhang Huo’s son and has a bad reputation.”

“Ok. I will take note of him.”

“Be careful. Zhang Biao is not a good person. He had committed extortion in Nan Shan District and commanded a bunch of hooligans. His father was arrested, and he will not sit around. He will do whatever it takes to get revenge. I suspect he is the one who made the threats to Secretary Wu and my house.”

Dong Xuebing smiled. “Are you worried for me?”

Geng Yuehua replied emotionlessly. “I am worried about the safety of the City Commission for Discipline Inspection staff.”

Dong Xuebing laughed. “Don’t worry about me. You should know I am a good fighter. I can crash that Zhang Biao even if he is driving a tank.”

Geng Yuehua frowned. “You are a City Commission for Discipline Inspection Leader now. Why are you still speaking like a hooligan?”

Dong Xuebing replied nonchalantly. “I know you are concerned about me. I understand.” He reached over and held her hand. “Can you stop showing me your poker face?”

Geng Yuehua’s lips quivered, and she looked at her hand without saying anything.

Dong Xuebing squeezed himself into Geng Yuehua’s chair. “Yuehua, what are you hiding from me? Since we met six months ago, I noticed something is off with you.” This had been troubling him for months.

Geng Yuehua’s face changed. “What did you find out?”

“I don’t know anything, and I am asking you. Did something happen?”

“No.”

“You are making me anxious. Can you tell me what’s wrong?”

“I said nothing. Can’t you hear me?”

“You are pissing me off.”

Geng Yuehua ignored him and continued to look at her documents. “I am busy. You can leave now.”

Geng Yuehua lived up to her nickname. She is cold towards everyone, including her relatives.

Dong Xuebing did not leave. “Yuehua, I am worried for you.”

“No need.”

“Are you trying to pick a fight?”

“You started this, and I should be the one asking this question.”

Dong Xuebing let out a ‘hmph’ loudly. Maybe he is the only one who can tolerate her temper. He suddenly realizes he is pretty patient with her.

Dong Xuebing gave in. “Fine…. Let’s stop talking about this. But you must tell me if anything happens. Don’t keep everything to yourself.”

Geng Yuehua looked at him and nodded.

Dong Xuebing moved closer and put his arm around her waist.

Geng Yuehua’s body stiffens, and she continues her work as if nothing happened. She read and signed documents. She reads fast and is two to three times faster than other people. Dong Xuebing looked at how she signed the document and worried she might tear it. This is the way she worked and will never change. She always does things swiftly without hesitation.

Dong Xuebing cherished his time with Geng Yuehua alone.

Geng Yuehua allowed him to hug her while she worked, surprising him. This was an upgrade, and she would never allow him to do this in the past.

Geng Yuehua is cold on the outside and warm on the inside.

She might not mention it, but she thanked Dong Xuebing for passing the message.

Dong Xuebing looked down into her sweater’s collar and shifted his eyes to her butt. He slowly moved his hand to her butt.

So soft.

Geng Yuehua suddenly stopped. “What are you doing?”

Dong Xuebing cleared his throat. “There’s a crease on your pants. I am helping you to smooth it.”

Dong Xuebing grabbed Geng Yuehua’s meaty butt while he talked, and he noticed she was not wearing slacks underneath. He can feel the laces of her underwear under her pants. He ran his fingers along the laces and wondered about the color.

Geng Yuehua knew I would be meeting her today. Did she wear something sexy?

Dong Xuebing was curious. He saw Geng Yuehua did not stop him, and he pulled up her sweater slightly. He slowly pushed the waistband of her pants down, revealing her bright red underwear.

She is wearing red underwear again.

Geng Yuehua likes this color, or did she wear it to show me?

From the waistband, it looked like see-through lacy underwear. This is a sharp contrast between her character and image.

“Let go of me.” Geng Yuehua straightens her body. “I don’t want to repeat myself.”

Dong Xuebing smiled and removed his hand. He was feeling excited, and it felt good to be touching her after two months.
