Chapter 119 Chess Board
~
When Xiao Liu heard the sound, he looked and saw that it was a chessboard, so he picked it up.
Ruan Zhao just walked over and asked, "Captain Wu, what time do they start work?"
As soon as Wu Rui saw Ruan Zhao, he remembered what Xiao Liu had said, and his face immediately turned redder. "It should be eight o'clock, and it's almost here now."
Xiao Liu, who was standing nearby, caught a glimpse of Wu Rui's face and couldn't help but laugh and tease. "Captain Wu, it's okay. Our office isn't busy lately. You and your partner... oh, your friend, can hang around for a while."
When Wu Rui heard this, he quickly glared at Xiao Liu.
Ruan Zhao also looked at Xiao Liu, but happened to catch a glimpse of the chessboard in his hand.
Ruan Zhao's eyes froze for a moment, then he asked, "Comrade, is that a chessboard you're holding?"
Xiao Liu was stunned for a second when he suddenly heard Ruan Zhao talking to him. After realizing what was happening, he raised the chessboard in his hand and replied, "Yeah, sometimes when our office isn't busy, everyone can't help but want to play a game."
Ruan Zhao stared at the densely packed dots on the chessboard and spoke again. "Can you show me? I've only heard of chess before, but I've never seen it."
"Okay, take a look." Xiao Liu said and immediately handed over the chessboard.
Ruan Zhao took it and looked at it carefully, then raised his hand to touch the lines on it and asked casually, "Did you make this chessboard yourself? It looks so exquisite!"
Seeing a beauty like Ruan Zhao for the first time, Xiao Liu unconsciously became talkative, "This was not done by me, but by Deputy Director Sun from our office.
He is very dexterous and likes to make small toys. He made this chess board by himself to entertain us.
He was on duty for me last night, and he probably had nothing to do, so he took out the chess to play..."
Hearing this, Ruan Zhao's eyes flashed darkly. "That's quite a coincidence, Deputy Director Sun. Isn't your shift scheduled to start at 8 o'clock? Why hasn't he arrived yet?"
Xiao Liu explained, "Oh, didn't he take my shift last night? He probably won't be here today."
After listening to this, Ruan Zhao looked at Wu Rui.

Cao Xiaoyun's home
When Sun Jiayao returned from the security department, Cao Xiaoyun was still sleeping.
After hearing the noise, Cao Xiaoyun opened his eyes and saw that it was already daybreak. "Are you back?"
"Yeah." Sun Jiayao responded casually, then walked to the closet to look for clothes.
While he was getting his clothes, he casually asked Cao Xiaoyun, "How did you sleep last night?"
Cao Xiaoyun sat up and rubbed his eyes, then replied as if remembering something. "Hey, that's strange! I don't seem to have had that nightmare in the past two days?
Don’t you know that I was almost tortured to death by that nightmare a few days ago, but it seems to have suddenly healed in the past two days? "
Sun Jiayao paused while holding the clothes, then turned to look at Cao Xiaoyun.
After seeing the dark circles under her eyes disappear, his eyes suddenly turned sinister for a moment, and then as if he thought of something, he turned around and started rummaging through the closet.
Seeing him suddenly rummaging through the closet, Cao Xiaoyun asked curiously, "What are you looking for?"
"Looking for clothes." Sun Jiayao replied coldly, and then quickly pulled out the camouflage uniform from the bottom of the closet.
Sun Jiayao took the camouflage uniform and looked at it carefully, but didn't find anything unusual, and his eyes became confused again.
Cao Xiaoyun got off the bed and walked over to him. After seeing the clothes in his hand, he asked in confusion, "When did you get this dress? Why have I never seen you wear it?"
Hearing Cao Xiaoyun's voice, Sun Jiayao regained his composure and turned to look at her.
He rolled his eyes and then asked, "Have any outsiders come to your house in the past two days?"
Cao Xiaoyun was a little confused. "No. What's wrong?"
Sun Jiayao stared into her eyes and saw that she didn't seem to be lying, so he frowned even deeper. "Nothing."
He said, turning back and stuffing the camouflage uniform back into the closet.
Cao Xiaoyun felt that he was a little baffled. She stretched herself, took a deep breath, and sighed. "Oh! It's so nice to not have nightmares. After waking up from this sleep, I feel so relieved!"
You must be tired after working all night, I will go cook now..."
Sun Jiayao paused in putting his clothes on, something suddenly popped up in his mind, and then he turned around, pushed Cao Xiaoyun away and ran out.
Cao Xiaoyun was about to go cook when he pushed her and she stumbled. After she realized what was happening, she yelled at him angrily. "Sun Jiayao, you're crazy so early in the morning!"

In the Security Department, after learning that Sun Jiayao would not come to work today, Ruan Zhao and Wu Rui did not stay any longer.
However, they didn't expect that as soon as they reached the gate of the Security Department, they ran into Sun Jiayao who was running over in a hurry.
Sun Jiayao ran so fast that he didn't even notice if there was anyone in front of him.
Seeing him rushing towards Ruan Zhao, Wu Rui was quick-witted and put his arms around Ruan Zhao's shoulders to avoid being hit.
Sun Jiayao was startled. After he came to his senses, he was about to apologize, but when he saw Ruan Zhao clearly, he froze in place.
Wu Rui looked down at Ruan Zhao, who was leaning on his arms. His face flushed, and he quickly let go of her. "Are you okay?"
Ruan Zhao was looking at Sun Jiayao and didn't notice Wu Rui's abnormality at all. "It's okay."
After seeing Ruan Zhao at the door of her house that day, Sun Jiayao was attracted by her beauty. At that time, he was still thinking that if such a beautiful woman could marry him, he would wake up laughing in his dreams.
Unexpectedly, I met her here again today.
Wu Rui saw Sun Jiayao staring at Ruan Zhao intently, frowned, and spoke directly. "Comrade, you almost hit someone, shouldn't you apologize?"
Sun Jiayao finally reacted, "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that. Comrade, are you okay?"
Ruan Zhao didn't mind the look in Sun Jiayao's eyes as she stared at her face, because she was also staring at Sun Jiayao's face.
Hearing him speak, Ruan Zhao smiled at him. "It's okay."
After saying that, he retracted his gaze and said to Wu Rui, "Let's go."
"Yeah," Wu Rui nodded, glared at Sun Jiayao who was still staring at Ruan Zhao, and then followed.
Only after the two men walked away did Sun Jiayao withdraw his gaze and walk towards the security department.

in the office
Xiao Liu saw Sun Jiayao's face full of surprise, "Deputy Director Sun, why are you here again? Didn't you agree not to come today?"
Sun Jiayao casually replied, "Oh, I forgot something was here, I came back to get it."
As he said that, he walked to Xiao Liu's desk and flipped through the pile of books on the desk.
Not seeing what he was looking for, Sun Jiayao frowned. "Xiao Liu, where's the chessboard I left on the table last night?"
"Oh, I put it in the drawer." Xiao Liu didn't notice Sun Jiayao's expression. When he asked, he bent down, took out the chessboard from the drawer, and handed it to Sun Jiayao. "Deputy Director Sun, you didn't come back just to get this chessboard, did you?"
Sun Jiayao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the chessboard was still there, then explained, "Of course not. I came here to get the book, but I just happened to want to go back and play a game, so I wanted to take the chessboard with me."
Xiao Liu teased, "You worked all night last night, why don't you get some rest when you get home?"
"You can't sleep all day. I have nothing to do in the afternoon, so I might as well find someone to play chess with." Sun Jiayao said, picked up another book from the table, and prepared to leave.
Xiao Liu then remembered something and said to him with a gossipy look on his face, "By the way, Deputy Director Sun, do you know who came to our security department just now?"
Sun Jiayao paused and asked curiously, "Who is it?"
Xiao Liu replied with a smile, "Captain Wu, the son of our military district commander, is dating her."
Sun Jiayao paused, thinking of Wu Rui and Ruan Zhao, and asked, "His girlfriend?"
Xiao Liu didn't know Ruan Zhao at all, so he didn't hear Sun Jiayao's confusion. "Oh, judging from what happened just now, she's probably not the right person yet. But with Captain Wu's family background, he should be able to catch up soon."
Sun Jiayao frowned, but then thought of something, "Then why are they coming to the Security Department?"
"What else can I do? Just take girls around. How else can I pursue them?"
Sun Jiayao stopped talking. He always felt something was strange.
But when he thought of Ruan Zhao's face and the rumors about her in recent days, Sun Jiayao quickly came to a conclusion.
That is, Ruan Zhao must have had ambiguous relationships with many men in the military region.
Thinking of this, an idea suddenly popped up in Sun Jiayao's mind.
If she can get involved with another man, then would I also have a chance to meet such a woman?
When he thought of Ruan Zhao's skin, so white and tender that it could be pinched to produce water, and her impressive figure that could not be concealed even through clothes, the flame in Sun Jiayao's heart began to stir...
