Kiss

The police came only a few minutes after Wang Ming had subdued the robbers, though this time they didn't know who Wang Ming was, so they wanted to take him back to the station for questioning. But since Wang Ming had all the victims on his side, everybody had vouched and will testify that Wang Ming only killed in self defence and to protect them. Seeing his overwhelming support, the police couldn't do anything either and would come for questioning another time, Qiao Meng didn't even need to say anything.

The victims had all stayed close by the restaurant they all waited for Wang Ming to come out victorious, which he did, after he came out of the restaurant together with the police they all gathered around him and threw him up in the air, to thank him. They threw Qiao Meng up in the air also as if she hadn't sacrificed herself, then maybe an innocent person would have died today.

The tossing lasted over a minute, which made both Wang Ming and Qiao Meng dizzy after they got put down. The police took this moment to break him the bad news.

"Thank you, Mr. Wang for saving all the hostages, sadly we will have to close your restaurant for a week to gather evidence, you may take anything that you don't think is evidence with you, but if it's anything important, then please leave it."

Wang Ming sighed, as this would lose him a million yuan. But it's also a good timing as he still needed to find a new meat supplier. Not only this, he would need to go through the jade association sometime to get his jewelry and then buy a new house. Since he can't live in his restaurant this week, buying a house is top priority. He's also a millionaire now people would laugh at him knowing that he lives in his own restaurant.

"It's fine I'll just grab a bag."

"Thanks for your understanding, we'll go now. If you remember anything vital to the case, then please call us. We will also call you if we need further help."

"Goodbye!"

He thought that the celebrations were over already as the victims had left with the police, but it was now Louzheng, Uncle Hou, Fu Jinhai and uncle Hou's time to give him hugs.

"Nephew, I can't believe that you saved us! I really can't judge a book by its cover, I thought they would catch you, but you've clearly practiced martial arts! In my entire career, I've never encountered something like this ever! Who would rob a restaurant?! But don't you worry, nephew, I will help you investigate this."

Seeing that Wang Ming disapproved of this, Zhang Hou silenced him with his seniority.

"I'm your UNCLE,. You listen to me, unless you don't see me as your uncle, I'll figure it out for you. You just relax and open your restaurant after a week. I'll keep training Fu Jinhai so he can be independent when your restaurant opens up again, don't you worry."

Since Uncle Hou had used his seniority, there was nothing else Wang Ming could say other than to agree.

"Thank you, Uncle!"

After this, all the others also came up to give Wang Ming hugs and said their thank you. Gao Xingjuan even kissed Wang Ming on his cheek, which made her face red as a tomato after. The only one that couldn't give him a hug was Louzheng, but it didn't mean he appreciated Wang Ming any less.

"Thank god, everybody is safe. I'll send you all a message when I open the restaurant again. I hope you aren't afraid after this event, this shouldn't happen often! But to compensate all of you, I'll double your salary! Now go home, take a breather, eat good and relax, I'll pay you guys one month salary in advance from my pocket. Just enjoy!"

The group then left after Wang Ming sent them away, though it was only Gao Xingjuan that were happy for the salary increase, as both Louzheng and Fu Jinhai didn't care about money at all.

Everybody had left except for one person who had said nothing to Wang Ming yet. She just kept looking at Wang Ming with a complicated look. Seeing her being silent, Wang Ming just ignored her and went into the restaurant to grab his bag that contained the knives. It took him a few minutes to find it as he had forgotten where he had placed it. It had fallen out of the closet and then buried underneath a mountain of clothes.

Qiao Meng had followed him inside the wardrobe and had observed him looking for the bag, but she still had said nothing. Wang Ming didn't know what was wrong with her. What did she want? Did she come here looking for him to just be silent? But since he was tight on time, he couldn't bicker with her now or find out what she wanted, he's half an hour later and he had tried to call Peng Tong but he didn't take the phone so he needed to hurry over.

"I need to leave now, Qiao Meng. I'm in a hurry, I have to meet Peng Tong soon, so I don't have more time to play with you. Just leave now and I'll close the door when I leave, please."

But even after Wang Ming told her to leave, Qiao Meng just stood still, staring at his face. If he couldn't see her chest moving up and down, then he would have thought that she's a statue.

"What do you want, Miss Qiao?"

Qiao Meng was still in her thoughts. She had felt so bad and horrible ever since she had the fallout with Wang Ming she had cried the whole night yesterday. She didn't even notice that Wang Ming had talked to her. She kept looking at his handsome face and about all the things she had planned to say to him, but when she saw him again, she just couldn't say anything the words wouldn't come out.

"I want you…"

"What?"

Wang Ming understood nothing. Did Qiao Meng like him? Is it why she's here to confess to him? Even though Qiao Meng's a beautiful woman, one of the most beautiful he has ever seen, but he didn't like her like that, not yet. He's definitely attracted to her who wouldn't in such a beautiful woman? But it didn't mean that he loved her yet.

When Qiao Meng saw his weird reaction, she realized that she had said that out loud. She felt flustered her face warmed up, but taking a deep breath she calmed down fast.

"I meant, I want you to forgive me! After you left the bank, I realize that, I didn't take your situation into account. Even though I don't agree with what you've done, I still want us to be like before. Once again, I'm sorry, Wang Ming!"

"Don't be, I was stubborn too. I'm sorry Qiao Meng. I felt hurt when you dismissed me like that at the bank. But I should have tried to talk with you instead of walking off. I understand why you acted like that you're a police officer, you can't let someone walk off after they've broken the law. But this might not be the last time you see me breaking the law, next time just take me in. Okay?"

"Mhm."

Wang Ming then pulled Qiao Meng into a hug, even though Wang Ming had tried to not think about her. Their quarrel had weighed down on his mind. But now it's over.

Being face to face with each other made Qiao Meng's face heat again, but this time she couldn't calm down as Wang Ming was so close to her, she could feel his breath on her neck, which tickled her. Looking at Wang Ming's lips, Qiao Meng couldn't hold it in anymore and gave him a long kiss before running away.

Seeing her walk away like a high school girl, kissing her crush for the first time, made Wang Ming smile.
