The Domineering CEO, but a Crybaby! - Chapter 11
Chapter 11: Holding a Person to Sleep
This wasn’t the first time Cen Qianyi had heard the woman call her this way.
Feeling the pair of hands around her tighten, her legs were trapped and she couldn’t move. This made Cen Qianyi think of what happened last night.
Last night, enduring the muscle paralysis, she sneaked into the woman’s room to kill her.
Unexpectedly, the sleeping person suddenly made a move, and she was trapped on her bed, unable to move.
Just when Cen Qianyi thought she had been discovered, the other person called out to her like this.
“Don’t be naughty, Qianqian.”
The familiarity in the tone surprised Cen Qianyi.
But what was even more surprising was what happened next.
“We can play tomorrow, little dog needs to go to bed early.”
After the woman said this, she took hold of the back of her neck and began to massage it.
A strange tingling sensation transmitted from the back of her neck to all parts of her body. Soon, Cen Qianyi’s fingers gradually curled up, so numb that she couldn’t even straighten them.
The situation was a bit strange. She was only being massaged on the back of her neck by the woman, just with her bare hands.
Even with a sensory enhancer, it shouldn’t have such a strong effect.
Cen Qianyi’s nerves were taut, her body was rigid, and she planned to fight against this numbness.
At that moment, the other person increased the pressure, and the massage moved from the back of her neck slowly down her spine. The warm hands pressed and rubbed down her skin… touching her sensitive tailbone.
Cen Qianyi’s numb fingers suddenly clenched into a fist. An extremely strong itch swept through her entire body, and her body straightened and then curled up.
The immense feeling of comfort made her almost sigh out loud.
This tingling sensation spread throughout her body, and even her eyelids trembled.
“Qianqian, be good.”
“Qianqian, sleep.”
“Qianqian is a good baby.”
As the woman whispered softly, her hands once again relaxed their grip, and Cen Qianyi’s softened body was completely embraced in a scorching hug.
Her eyelids grew heavier and heavier.
…
When Cen Qianyi woke up, it was an hour later.
She had actually fallen asleep in the woman’s arms… and slept for a whole hour…
She didn’t even have the dream of the white laboratory that always appeared whenever she fell asleep…
Cen Qianyi didn’t understand how the woman did it.
At first, she suspected hypnosis, but then she denied it herself.
Later, she hacked into her computer and checked a bunch of information but couldn’t find anything special about this woman named He Shu…
Looking at the person on her lap, in this current position, it would be very easy for her to end her.
She glanced at the fast-receding mountain scenery outside the window. It wouldn’t be difficult to get rid of these people in the car and create an accident.
She could even ensure that the police wouldn’t find anything, and she could leave cleanly.
Thinking of this, Cen Qianyi’s hand, which was hanging by her side, slowly moved to the exposed neck of the woman on her lap.
“Qianqian, don’t be naughty.”
In her sleep, He Shu felt her dog was causing trouble again. She grabbed its paw and held it in her palm.
Su Ming heard He Shu’s sudden call and looked back at the back seat.
Seeing her boss lying on Cen Qianyi’s lap, Su Ming raised her eyebrows. After seeing her holding Cen Qianyi’s hand, she lowered her eyebrows a little.
Finally, her gaze fell on Cen Qianyi…
The boss actually called her ‘Qianqian’… Her gaze was direct and presumptuous, sizing up Cen Qianyi.
What was so special about this plaything? Why did the boss like her so much?
Cen Qianyi didn’t care about Su Ming’s scrutiny. She looked at the hand the woman was holding.
She was pressing it over and over, as if it was an unconscious act, a bit like a kitten kneading.
Cen Qianyi felt the same tingling sensation in her palm as last night. Gradually, her eyelids also became heavy, just like last night.
…
More than an hour later, the car slowed down as it approached its destination.
Su Ming woke up from her nap and turned around to remind He Shu that they were almost there. She found that He Shu had changed her position at some point.
Her seatbelt was unbuckled, and she was still lying on Cen Qianyi’s lap, but she had turned to face the other person, hugging her waist, with her face buried in her arms.
She was sleeping soundly…
Cen Qianyi, who was being hugged, also had her eyes closed and was motionless. She seemed to be asleep as well.
After calling out twice without a response, Su Ming had to get out of the car, open the back door, lean in, and gently pat He Shu.
“Boss, we’re here.”
He Shu opened her eyes hazily. She looked up and saw a sleeping beauty. She thought she was still dreaming.
This dream was quite unique; falling asleep holding a dog, I wake up and the dog in my arms has become a person.
“Boss, we’re at the hospital.”
Someone was still calling her boss. As a small-time worker, she was really bold in her dreams, getting both money and a beauty.
She squeezed the waist of the beauty she was hugging. It was soft. The smooth fabric of the sportswear felt so real…
!!!
The moment He Shu’s consciousness returned, her eyes widened even more than a cartoon cat’s.
She suddenly pulled away from the ‘beauty’, and her whole body trembled. What, what, what’s going on?!
How, how, how did she end up lying on Cen Qianyi’s lap???!
“Boss, are you okay?”
Su Ming saw He Shu wake up, and then fall back into the space between the seats. She reached out to help her.
He Shu snapped back to reality, turned to look at Su Ming, her eyes suddenly lighting up as if she had seen a savior. She grabbed Su Ming’s hand and used the leverage to climb out of the car.
She didn’t even bother to stand up first, just squeezed her body out.
Cen Qianyi opened her eyes at this moment.
She actually woke up earlier than He Shu, when the car slowed down.
Her eyes were full of confusion. She had fallen asleep again…
After He Shu finally climbed out of the car, she looked back and met Cen Qianyi’s light purple eyes. Her already round eyes’ pupils dilated to the extreme.
Cen Qianyi looked at the fear in He Shu’s eyes, and she was puzzled. What was she so afraid of?
“Boss, what’s wrong?”
Su Ming saw He Shu get out of the car and stand there without moving. She asked in confusion, but her question was covered by a loud noise.
He Shu and Su Ming both looked up at the sky where the sound came from.
A helicopter flew by in the air, gradually approaching the hospital rooftop, and slowly landing on the helipad.
After it landed, the cabin door opened briskly in the strong wind. A pair of black leather Doc Martens stepped out onto the footrest.
In the sunlight, the surface of the shoes was bright with light, but what was even more eye-catching was the owner of the shoes’ fiery red long hair, fluttering freely in the wind.
“Get the person in charge to see me.”
…
As soon as He Shu sat down in her office, someone ran over in a panic.
“Ms. He, a high-ranking officer said she wants to see you. She told you to go to Dr. Pei’s office right away.”
He Shu looked at the person’s panicked expression and became a little nervous. Who wanted to see her? Dr. Pei? Pei Congxin? Wasn’t she dead?
Before she could respond, Su Ming next to her immediately turned pale.
“Whose salary do you get? Why are you spreading jokes here?!”
He Shu looked at the angry Su Ming in confusion.
Su Ming continued, “What officer? Don’t take a chicken feather and think it’s a rocket. Who do you think our boss is? She thinks she can see her whenever she wants?”
He Shu’s eyes widened, and she once again had a new understanding of her ‘loyal’ assistant.
“If there’s a problem, please ask her to bring an arrest warrant. If there’s no problem, please ask her to make an appointment. Without an appointment, the boss won’t see anyone!”
The person hurried away to deliver the message. The other hospital executives in the office looked at the angry Su Ming, and they all became a little nervous.
The office was quiet for a while. The calmest one among them was Cen Qianyi, sitting in the corner.
But for some reason, even though she was just sitting quietly in the corner, she had a strong presence.
He Shu looked over again. She didn’t see any murderous intent, and she finally let out a sigh of relief.
She probably didn’t know that she had slept on her lap in the car…
After Su Ming dealt with the person who came, she got He Shu’s permission and let the executives report the known situation in turns.
He Shu listened while looking at Cen Qianyi. The sportswear she gave her was a loose fit, so it was too big for Cen Qianyi. This made her look smaller… she even had a student-like aura about her…
This appearance was really too deceiving.
He Shu withdrew her gaze and thought of the idea she had before she fell asleep in the car. She silently took out her phone.
While listening to the executives’ report, she edited a message.
The administrative director told He Shu that Pei Congxin’s cause of death was an overdose of a hallucinogen, and they all agreed that it was an accident.
Pei Congxin had just received a bonus from He Shu yesterday, so it was illogical for her to commit suicide at this time.
Murder was also unlikely. Pei Congxin had good interpersonal relationships at the hospital and was not known to have any conflicts with anyone.
Hearing this, He Shu looked up from her phone, and her gaze involuntarily drifted to Cen Qianyi again.
Speaking of conflicts, Pei Congxin had just given Cen Qianyi a dose of Lan Ye No. 1 yesterday…
In the original novel, Cen Qianyi was the one who killed her.
Cen Qianyi felt the gaze on her and looked back. He Shu was unable to hide, and Cen Qianyi saw the curiosity and doubt in her eyes.
Her finger, pressed on the sofa, scratched the genuine leather surface. This woman always seemed to know something…
Listening to those people talk about Pei Congxin’s death, Cen Qianyi leisurely drew an X on the sofa. The person who took the job was quite fast.
Not only fast, but also bold.
The people detained in the hospital lobby all had panicked faces. Only one person had a panicked look but a hint of playfulness in her eyes if you looked closely.
Fang Nian was very surprised when she saw the order issued by [Billion] on the bounty alliance yesterday.
The entire alliance was in a frenzy because of her appearance. Fang Nian was fast enough to snatch the order.
The order was very simple, for a doctor, and the bounty was only one million.
The reason she came was to see if she could track down “Billion”.
The people who snatched the order probably had the same goal; they all wanted to kill “Billion”.
“Billion’s” life was worth a hundred billion, the highest priced order in the alliance.
She wondered who was so rich and wanted [Billion] dead so badly.
Fang Nian was tracing the IP address from which [Billion] had posted the order. Suddenly, a legitimate message came in on her phone.
Anonymous informant, ID: A special person.
He Shu breathed a sigh of relief after sending the message. Although she didn’t know where the protagonist, Nie Wenyu, was, the book mentioned the department she was in at this time, a department specializing in handling major special cases.
This department also had a convenient anonymous informant applet.
He Shu felt that she was really clever. The system only said she couldn’t spoil things that hadn’t happened yet. The clue she gave was about a case Nie Wenyu had investigated before.
He Shu glanced at Cen Qianyi sitting quietly on the sofa, hoping the protagonist would be strong and take her away soon.
At this moment, there was a knock on the office door.
The person who had just been scolded came back with a mournful face.
“Ms. He, that… that officer said she found something in Dr. Pei’s office and said that if you don’t go, the things will be handed over…”
It was an obvious threat. He Shu frowned. What kind of officer was this? She sounded a bit shady.
After thinking about it, He Shu got up and decided to go and see.
When she arrived at Pei Congxin’s office, He Shu immediately felt who the ‘a bit shady’ officer was among the crowd.
The other person had fiery red hair, and her slightly raised eyes showed confidence and pride. Seeing He Shu, she smiled and came forward, reaching out her hand. “You must be Ms. He. Hello, I’m Officer Judy.”
The head was reporting a fake name again. Lisa lowered her head as if she hadn’t heard anything and watched He Shu reach out her hand to shake her head’s hand like she was watching a good show.
When He Shu shook this Officer Judy’s hand, her face instantly turned pale. The other person’s hand was not like a human’s hand at all. Her hand bones felt like they were about to shatter from the force of the grip.
Sweat and tears came out at the same time, without any distinction.
An ordinary person, Nie Wenyu quickly made the definition in her heart. She let go of He Shu’s hand before she could cry out.
“Ms. He, do you know that your employee was abusing drugs?”
He Shu was in so much pain that she couldn’t speak, she just kept shaking her hand and hissing.
Nie Wenyu was disappointed. What kind of CEO was this? A CEO in name only. After eliminating her, she didn’t want to waste any more time and stepped outside.
“Ms. He, remember to explain to the police about the forbidden drugs in your hospital.”
As she spoke, her gaze swept over the people who had followed He Shu. Their faces were all pale, except for one whose face was also pale but whose eyes were very calm, as if they had no focus.
Nie Wenyu’s eyes swept to the walking stick in the other person’s hand.
Blind.
That made it even more impossible.
“Sorry to have bothered you, Ms. He. We’re leaving now. The police will handle the body. Ms. He, please say a proper goodbye to your employee.”
This was an ordinary drug overdose death case, which was not under her department’s jurisdiction.
The black Doc Martens took big steps outside, but stopped when they passed a pair of white sneakers.
Nie Wenyu looked at the person leaning against the wall, who looked pitiful.
Her hand, hanging by her side, quickly slid out a business card. Using her body as a cover, she slipped it into the other person’s hand.
Her retreating finger squeezed the other person’s pinky finger.
“If you have trouble, find the police.”
She turned and looked at He Shu. This sentence seemed to be for her, but in reality, it was for the pitiful person by the door.
She had looked at He Shu’s information on the way here and knew that she had some special hobbies.
She considered it a good deed for the day.
Cen Qianyi touched the business card in her hand. She was a little surprised by the raised dots on it; it was Braille.
The content was very simple.
One character, “Nie”.
A string of phone numbers.
